Acupuncture, medicated baths, and oral medication are all standard procedures. Liu Ning stood aside, watching Wan Ge's extremely skilled acupuncture techniques, and felt admiration just by watching.
No one knew that Liu Ning was actually very curious about medicine, but in this era there were almost no male doctors, and no one would believe in a male physician.
When his mother discovered he wanted to secretly study medicine, she was furious and forbade him from pursuing it further. He had no choice but to give it up, but having secretly studied it, he still had some understanding of the subject, and his admiration stemmed from his ability to comprehend it.
After Wan Ge finished inserting the needles, she asked the private physician of the Liu family who was watching nearby if he had remembered the instructions to give Lord Liu acupuncture for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn each day, and then follow her instructions to take a medicinal bath and drink the medicine.
The doctor nodded, and Wan Ge stood up: "If there are any other issues, Young Master Liu can send someone to the Prime Minister's residence to find me. I'll be leaving now."
Just as Wan Ge was about to leave, Liu Ning suddenly spoke up: "Miss Ji Mo..."
Wan Ge turned around and glanced at the other person: "Young Master Liu, is there anything else?"
Liu Ning opened her mouth, then shook her head, watching Wan Ge leave her house.
The servant beside Liu Ning also sighed: "Miss Ji Mo is so wonderful, how come she already has a fiancé? Otherwise, Miss Ji Mo and the young master would be a perfect match."
His young master is so handsome, proficient in all the arts, and under his master's tutelage, he possesses extraordinary bearing and elegant demeanor. He is someone that many daughters of officials and wealthy families would love to marry but could not.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ning's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. In fact, he had inquired a little, but he had never even heard of that person.
…
As soon as Wan Ge stepped into her house, she saw Chu Sangyue making tea for her parents, and her face instantly lit up with a smile: "A-Yue, you're here!"
She quickened her pace and walked to the side of her beloved.
"My lady...you're back." Chu Sangyue blushed and lowered her head gently, her beautiful eyes seeming too shy to look at her.
"I just went out to see Lord Liu for a medical check-up. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" If he had known he would be coming, he would have told Liu Ning that he would go later.
Chu Sangyue's fingers tightened slightly upon hearing this, as if she were a little nervous: "I just... I just wanted to see my wife, was that too abrupt?"
Chu Sangyue only came because she was so eager to see her after having a dream, but she never expected to see that scene.
"Of course not, I just didn't want you to wait here too long," Wan Ge said, noticing his nervousness.
Chu Sangyue shook her head: "It's okay, I didn't wait long, and I was with my parents."
Chu Sangyue had already investigated Wan Ge's background and knew everything about her mother and father.
So in less than half an hour, both parents were extremely satisfied with Chu Sangyue. Ji Mo's husband even felt that Chu Sangyue was the most suitable person for their daughter.
If he had to compare him to Liu Ning, he would definitely choose Chu Sangyue without hesitation. This is because Chu Sangyue possesses many advantages that Liu Ning lacks. And of all the advantages Liu Ning has, Chu Sangyue surpasses them.
Chu Sangyue's tea-making skills were clearly very proficient, suggesting he often did this for his parents in the past—a skill essential for a respectable man.
