“There’s really no need for that…” Qin Xi turned her gaze to Lu Huai and tried to communicate with him again.
It's not that she doesn't want to be direct; she genuinely doesn't know how to talk to a grown man about this kind of thing. She just can't bring herself to say it.
Lu Huai smiled the most tender smile he had ever seen in his life, his eyes full of doting affection: "Stop fooling around."
Qin Xi: "..."
Qin Xi resignedly stretched out her hand and closed her eyes with a look of resignation to her fate.
Doctor Zheng draped a silk scarf over her wrist and then reached out to take Qin Qi's pulse.
Lu Huai had been watching Doctor Zheng closely. He noticed that Doctor Zheng looked strange and frowned, picking up his hand and putting it back down several times.
Seeing the increasingly complicated expression on Doctor Zheng's face, Lu Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with her? Is there any chance of treating her?"
Doctor Zheng gave him a very complicated look, and hesitated before speaking, "This... I truly have no way to cure this..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai felt as if he had been struck on the head with a club, leaving him dizzy and his face suddenly turning ashen.
"However, although this Tiankui cannot be completely eradicated, it can still alleviate some of the young mistress's pain," Doctor Zheng said, putting away the pillow and getting up.
"W-what?!" Lu Huai suddenly raised his head, looking at him in disbelief: "Tiankui?"
Doctor Zheng nodded in confusion: "Yes, the young mistress has just started her period. Just be careful not to touch anything cold or spicy."
Lu Huai's face instantly turned bright red, and he looked like he had just eaten shit.
He initially thought someone was trying to harm Qin Qi by adding something to the snowflake pastry, causing him to summon his shadow guards. But it turned out to be just his period.
This was truly the most embarrassing moment of his life.
Doctor Zheng had already written the prescription. "Young master, just take a few doses of this medicine, and the young mistress's pain will be greatly relieved."
Lu Huai blushed, stiffly accepted the prescription, and nodded.
Dr. Zheng has left.
Qin Xi looked at Lu Huai helplessly: "Are you relieved now? Can you let my maid in?"
Lu Huai's face turned red all the way to the roots of his neck.
He called the bag in, then went out himself.
The gait looks normal; it would be even more normal if the foot didn't kick when stepping over the threshold.
Qin Qi watched his departing figure helplessly. She had told him long ago that she didn't need a doctor, but he wouldn't listen. Now, he was even more embarrassed than she was.
Bao Bao gave Qin Xi a menstrual pad. After Qin Xi put it on, she had the servants tidy up the bed, changed her clothes, and went to find Lu Huai.
After searching for a long time without success, Qin Xi had no choice but to return empty-handed.
At this moment, Lu Huai stood in front of Su Ying, his face flushed. Even after traveling so far, he still couldn't calm down his embarrassment.
The pastry shop owner and chef lay unconscious at their feet. Su Ying nudged them, and they slowly regained consciousness.
Upon opening her eyes, she was nearly scared to death when she saw Su Ying, who was wearing a mask and had a cold look in her eyes, and Lu Huai pacing back and forth.
"Master, they've woken up." Su Ying's voice was icy cold, like that of an emotionless robot.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai turned around and gave the shopkeeper a friendly smile.
Shopkeeper: "..."
Chef: "..."
A moment later, the two left the Minister's residence.
"Manager, is this Young Master Lu a little out of his mind?" the head chef asked in a low voice, following behind the manager.
The shopkeeper thought so too. When Lu Huai smiled at him, his heart jumped into his throat.
