Chapter 440 Li Rong: Shameful!
Chi Heng looked over slowly and took a deep breath: "You're fine too, so you should rest."
"It's alright! I'm quite robust, and besides, Doctor Jiang's medicine cured me perfectly. I'm full of energy now, so you don't need to worry. I'll get right back."
"You rest." Chi Heng gritted his teeth, then his dark eyes turned to Sun Wen.
Sun Yat-sen: "."
A brain is a good thing. It's a pity his brother doesn't seem to have one.
The next second, she covered her younger brother's mouth: "He seems to have a high fever again, and he keeps talking nonsense."
As she said this, she suddenly frowned and said, "I don't feel quite well either. I think it's because I took some medicine I shouldn't have taken earlier. Princess, we should go and rest. I'll trouble you to look after our master."
With that, he dragged Sun Wu away from this place of trouble.
"Hey! What's wrong with you all?" The little princess glared angrily.
Chi Heng glanced at it, then coughed violently again, sighing, "Sigh, if you hadn't drugged me, how could I have become like this? And now you despise me like this, I feel so miserable."
As she spoke, she mimicked Xi Shi clutching her heart.
The young princess then took a deep breath: "Yuchuan, you go."
"no!"
Chi Heng's voice suddenly rose, then he realized something was wrong and coughed twice: "How can those brutes take care of me? Xiao Nianjun, how can you be so irresponsible?"
The young princess's face flushed with anger. How could there be such a detestable person in the world! She wanted to strangle him!
The next second, she tugged at her hair: "Fine, fine, I'll support you, I'll support you, okay? You better not back down and let me serve you the whole time!"
Chi Heng's lips curled into a smile, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes: "How could I possibly reach it from that far away? Get closer!"
Besides, he can't handle her anymore? As long as he doesn't eat her food, he'll be afraid of her?
The young princess moved closer, and the next second she felt a sudden weight pressing down on her, causing her to stumble and almost fall. She immediately cursed, "Are you a pig?! How can you be so heavy? It's so annoying, you should use some strength yourself!"
"Alright, stop nagging. Hurry up, don't keep Arong and the others waiting."
Then he raised his eyebrows and shifted his entire weight in that direction. The curve of his lips became even harder to suppress.
That damned woman, I'm going to get my revenge this time.
Just then, noticing a gaze upon him, Chi Heng looked up and met Jiang Nuanzhi's dark, unwavering eyes. He panicked for a moment, then cleared his throat twice with his fist clenched: "Sister-in-law, well... oh dear, I'm really not feeling well today. I keep thinking about the hot pot we ate together during the New Year. It's so nice to be able to eat it again today."
Upon hearing this, Li Rong cast a cold glance over. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
When everyone is like Xiao Nianjun, they can't tell he's faking it, right?
Jiang Nuanzhi tugged at Li Rong's arm and then said with a smile, "Brother Chi wants to eat hot pot, so let's have that for lunch."
"Okay, done!"
Chi Heng replied with a smile, then gave Li Rong a provocative look: "I made sure to bring all the ingredients, plenty. But I didn't have that... base sauce, yes, that's it. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go prepare some base ingredients later. However, since you're not fully recovered yet, it might be a little different from what others have."
"It's alright, I don't really care about what I eat," Chi Heng quickly replied.
"No, you're not fully recovered yet." Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow. "How about I take your pulse again?"
The next second, Chi Heng pulled his wrist behind his back and coughed heavily twice: "It's nothing, it's nothing. How could such a small matter trouble you, sister-in-law? Just take two more doses of medicine and you'll be fine."
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Okay, then let's wait."
"Oh," Chi Heng responded blankly. Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's retreating figure, a flicker of hope crossed her mind: "Arong, maybe my sister-in-law's cooking will be delicious?"
For a moment, Li Rong didn't even want to look at his stupid brother; he even felt ashamed.
Especially when she thought of Jiang Nuanzhi's ambiguous smile in her eyes just now.
He then patted him on the shoulder, let out a breath, and turned to go find Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Madam, I'll do it."
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice rang out. Jiang Nuanzhi originally wanted to look at the food, but a man in white took over the task automatically, his eyes falling on Jiang Nuanzhi with a scrutinizing look.
There seemed to be a hint of curiosity in his eyes, along with some indescribable emotions.
It wasn't impolite, and it didn't make anyone uncomfortable.
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow. She was also sizing up the man. He appeared to be about the same age as Li Rong, with an extraordinary air about him. He was quite slender, but he was wearing a bamboo hat, so she couldn't see his face. However, she could sense the refined manners ingrained in him.
Just then, Li Rong arrived, and Jiang Nuanzhi immediately asked with a smile, "Arong, is this the person you just went to welcome back? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"
Li Rong glanced at the man: "Anuan, this is Wei Ke. He was once my brother who risked his life for me. The reason I can't show him to others now is because of his identity. I can't explain it to you in detail now, but I'll introduce him to you properly another day."
Upon hearing Li Rong's words, the man's face behind the curtain showed a hint of surprise.
The general trusts this lady so much?
This was completely different from what he had heard—that the lady was merely someone the general had bought with money. He immediately paused, stood up, and solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Jiang Nuanzhi: "Your subordinate, Wei Ke, was once the commander of the right banner of the Li family army. I pay my respects to the lady."
So he was a commander? That doesn't seem like it at all.
Wait, what did he say his name was?
"Wei Ke?!"
Jiang Nuanzhi's heart skipped a beat.
She recognized the man's name; he was the one who had wholeheartedly assisted Ping'er in her rise to prominence. The book's descriptions of him were mostly from Li Junping's memories, very few in total. But Jiang Nuanzhi clearly remembered that he had resolved everything Li Junping encountered before his reinstatement, even finding the pearl that had fallen into the brothel.
So, he was Li Rong's brother? That explains it.
But this person will eventually be recruited by Xie Liangchen as his subordinate! In the end, Ping'er even hates him to the bone.
Jiang Nuan subconsciously looked at the person in front of her. Even though she couldn't see his face, she could still sense that he had an otherworldly air about him.
Xie Liangchen's face is indeed impeccable, but his personality seems to have a touch of adolescent angst. Would Wei Ke really follow Xie Liangchen?
I simply can't imagine it.
However, Ping'er was truly insane in the end, and it's likely that he weighed many factors before making that choice.
Looking at Li Rong and Wei Ke standing together now, Jiang Nuanzhi had mixed feelings.
"Has Madam heard of my name?"
Jiang Nuan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "No, I just think your name is really nice."
Wei Ke was taken aback: "Madam Xie's praise is exactly what I think."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Do Li Rong's subordinates usually talk like this?
