Doctor Li had heard a long time ago that the young masters of the capital's aristocratic families had turned to homosexuality when they got tired of all the fun. This young lady had delicate skin and tender flesh, so when she dressed up as a man, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she looked pretty and charming. No wonder this man had become interested in her.

Doctor Li was not happy after thinking about it. After all, Xiaoxi was his chosen daughter-in-law. How could she be targeted by this perverted young man? He coughed heavily and said, "Xiaoxi, we don't need you here. Go to the pharmacy inside."

When Yuan Xi heard this, he stood up as if he had been pardoned and was about to flee. Xiao Du raised his eyebrows, his heart itching with hatred, and shouted, "How dare you!"

Yuan Xi was so frightened that he stood there with a guilty conscience. Doctor Li was even more unhappy and said with a gloomy face, "Sir, Xiao Xi is from my pharmacy. Although he is not a famous doctor, he cannot be ordered around by outsiders."

Before he finished speaking, a shiny, heavy silver piece appeared in front of him. Doctor Li's face was still full of anger, but at this moment, his eyes widened. He didn't know whether to be angry or happy, and his expression became very interesting. Xiao Du stared at Yuan Xi with a serious look, playing with the silver piece in his hand, and said lightly: "Ten taels of silver, and I want her to treat me."

Doctor Li was immediately in a state of confusion. He might not be able to earn the ten taels of silver in a day's work, but Xiaoxi's chastity was at stake. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. It's just a medical consultation anyway. How can he rob me right under my nose?"

So he carefully accepted the silver ingot and put on a serious face and said, "Xiao Xi, you heard it, why don't you come and diagnose this young master?"

Yuan Xi watched Doctor Li sell herself out for ten taels of silver, and suddenly she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She didn't dare to look at Xiao Du, for fear that her heart would be broken. So she lowered her head and rubbed against the table, whispering: "You, what on earth do you want to do?"

Xiao Du was too lazy to waste time talking to her, and shouted in a low voice: "Come back with me!"

Yuan Xi made up his mind and said forcefully, "Since I'm leaving, there's still a reason to go back. I'm living a good life now."

Doctor Li deliberately paced back and forth behind the two men, trying to listen to their conversation, but Xiao Du raised his head and glared at him fiercely. The murderous look in his eyes forced him to take a few steps back, and he stumbled on the stool beside his feet. He patted his chest in shock, thinking to himself: "Xiao Xi, there are not many good things about this kind of noble family, you must control yourself."

When Xiao Du saw Doctor Li retreating, he turned his gaze to Yuan Xi and said, "You are living a good life? Then do you know what kind of life I live every day?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking of his appearance when he came in, her heart ached and hurt, but she held back her tears and said softly: "A'Du, I have made a decision, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one, it is better for both of us to make a decision now."

Xiao Du was furious and said, "Didn't I tell you that I don't care about children?"

Yuan Xi looked up at him and said, "But I care. I don't want you to be with me and have a lifetime of regret. What's more, if one day you really can conquer the world but have no children to inherit your throne, how will you explain it to the world?"

Xiao Du seemed to think the question was ridiculous, "I don't need to explain this to anyone."

Yuan Xi bit her lip and turned her head away, not knowing whether she was trying to convince him or herself, "Anyway, I won't go back with you."

Xiao Du's face became more and more ugly. Before he could say anything else, Yuan Xi said loudly, "My lord, your illness is caused by a knot in your heart. Just let go of your obsession and move forward. You will get better in a few days." After saying that, he stood up and quickly ran into the inner room.

Xiao Du clenched his fists and slammed them on the table, wishing he could just rush in and tie her up. But he knew Yuan Xi's character very well. She looked gentle on the outside, but she was very persistent on the inside. If she was determined to do something, the stronger the external force, the more counterproductive it would be. He said loudly, "I will come again tomorrow. If one day doesn't work, I will come in two days. If two days don't work, I will come in three days. I will take you back!"

Yuan Xi leaned tightly against the door, and finally let her tears flow freely, leaving Doctor Li, who was completely confused, standing outside the door in a daze for a long time before he shook his head and continued to see the patient.

Xiaochun waited anxiously in the carriage for a long time, and finally saw Xiao Du returning angrily, but there was no one behind him. He knew in his heart that this time he had returned empty-handed again. The carriage drove slowly on the long street. Xiaochun saw that Xiao Du looked very depressed, and he was secretly worried about him. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Du: "My Lord, in my opinion, the matter of Madam cannot be handled by force, but by wits."

Xiao Du turned his head and looked at him suspiciously for a long time before he slowly came to his senses. Xiaochun added with a smile on his face: "My Lord, attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart."

The next day, Xiao Du came to Huichun Hall again, and again offered ten taels of silver to ask Yuan Xi to see him. This time, he really came to see a doctor. Yuan Xi saw Xiao Du sitting at the table, smiling with ill intentions, so he tried to keep a cold expression and said, "What disease do you have today?"

Xiao Du approached her and said, "My chest hurts."

Yuan Xi rolled her eyes in her heart, stretched out her hand to put on his wrist and casually felt his pulse and said: "There is nothing unusual in your pulse. I'm afraid you are imagining the disease. Just go back and rest. I have other patients to see later."

Xiao Du grabbed her hand and pulled it closer to his chest, saying, "It really hurts. If you don't believe me, try touching it."

Yuan Xi blushed, but before she could scold him for being too harsh, Doctor Li, who had been eavesdropping, came over with a smile and said, "This old man is the best at treating it. Why don't you let me touch it for you?"

Xiao Du slowly raised his head and glared at Doctor Li. The murderous intent in his eyes was clear as day: "If you don't want to die, get away!" Doctor Li fled back to his desk and sat down. He picked up the teacup in front of him to suppress his fear and said silently in his heart: Xiaoxi, I can only help you up to this point, you just wish you good luck.

Yuan Xi tried desperately to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly, and he caressed her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally, which made her shudder in her heart. She quickly lowered her voice and shouted, "What are you doing? This is a clinic."

Xiao Du's eyes gradually softened, and he said, "Xi'er, the chrysanthemum in our yard has bloomed. It's beautiful, don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Yuan Xi was stunned, and many memories immediately flooded into her mind: the figure of him planting flowers for her in the sunshine, the kisses mixed with the fragrance of soil... It was everywhere, leaving her with nowhere to escape. She quickly turned her head, but her eyes were filled with mist, and she bit her lip and said, "They will have new owners in the future."

Xiao Du's expression darkened, and he said, "Are you really that cruel?" Yuan Xi bit his trembling lips tightly, not daring to look at him again. Xiao Du's eyes fixed on her, and he said word by word, "Then listen carefully, I will only have one woman in my life, no matter how she avoids me or dares to see me, I will never give up."
