Dr. Liu examined Nanzhi, prescribed some medicine, and then left.
After he left, Yuzhi was very puzzled.
"Could it be that the commander-in-chief sent someone to summon him?"
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes to look at the medicine on the table, her lips slightly curved, but she did not respond.
Of course she knew who it was.
It seems he wasn't indifferent.
Nanzhi was in a good mood and looked more energetic.
The next day, Shen Yunjin returned from her morning run as usual and saw that she was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
He sat down as well, and the living room fell silent.
She had excellent table manners and didn't make a single unnecessary sound. It was the first time Shen Yunjin had ever seen someone eat in such a pleasant way.
Perhaps because breakfast tasted pretty good today, he was in a good mood, but looking at her side-swept hair, he was reminded of that camellia hairpin.
So much time has passed, and I still haven't found a suitable opportunity to repay her. Now, I still feel it's inappropriate to repay her now.
As the weather gradually improved, Shen Zhencai finally remembered that he should take Nanzhi to the Red Cross Hospital for treatment.
This was Nanzhi's first time leaving the Marshal's Mansion.
She sat in the car, looking out curiously.
The streets were bustling with people, as if the world were at peace.
But Nan Zhi knew that at this very moment, many places were still experiencing the ravages of war, and the people were living in a living hell.
When the people saw that it was the Marshal's carriage, they all made way and dared not approach.
The car quickly arrived at the hospital. Everyone couldn't help but stop and stare when they saw a beautiful woman getting out. Some even considered approaching her to chat, but they changed their minds when they saw Shen Zhencai next to her.
As they entered the hospital, discussions began.
"I heard that she is Marshal Shen's newlywed ninth concubine, she is truly a celestial being."
"Why are they at the hospital? Could it be that Ninth Concubine is pregnant?"
"So fast! Commander Shen is still as sharp as ever, haha..."
No one knew the specific reasons why Marshal Shen took a concubine, but these scandalous rumors were what they loved to hear most.
Looking at the beautiful Ninth Concubine, I couldn't help but sigh at the difference between people.
A skilled foreign doctor did indeed come to the Red Cross Hospital and ordered a bunch of tests for Namche.
Nanzhi had several vials of blood drawn, and there were still a few tests to be done, when Shen Zhencai was called away for something.
"I need to go to an emergency meeting. You continue your examination with Dr. Kevin. I will have the driver come back to pick you up in half an hour."
Yuzhi didn't come along, so Nanzhi had to stay in the hospital alone.
Dr. Kevin is British and speaks Chinese. When Shen Zhencai was around, he treated her with respect. But as soon as Shen Zhencai left, his eyes began to roam freely over Nanzhi.
After Nanzhi had completed all the other examinations, Dr. Kevin suddenly said, "Miss Nanzhi, I forgot to check one of the examinations. Lie down on that bed over there, and I'll take a look at it for you."
There was another female doctor in the examination room. Nanzhi didn't ask anything and went over there to lie down.
As soon as she lay down, Kevin pulled the curtains up.
Nanzhi vaguely heard the female doctor outside leave, and the door seemed to be closed.
She was lying in bed when she saw Dr. Kevin take off his disposable white gloves and walk toward her.
"Miss Nanzhi, please lift up your skirt and take off your pants. I need to give you a gynecological examination."
Nanzhi noticed the dark light flickering in his eyes, but instead of doing as he said, she got off the bed and stood up straight.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kevin, I don’t want to have a gynecological exam.”
Kevin, with a straight face, spouted nonsense: "This test is necessary, otherwise I don't know what to write on the medical record."
"I am healthy and do not need a gynecological examination."
Kevin was surprised that Nan Zhi was so bold. Looking at her delicate little body, he sneered and approached her.
He had never met such a beautiful Asian woman before, and he had to experience it today.
“If you don’t want me to scribble something in your medical record, you’d better lie still,” Kevin threatened. “Otherwise, I’ll make sure you can’t even be a ninth concubine.”
"Then I thank you."
Nan Zhi laughed indifferently, and missed him as she was about to leave. Kevin got angry and reached out to pull her away.
Nanzhi slapped him across the face.
The crisp sound enraged Kevin, who swore several times in English. He tried to touch Nanzhi, but Nanzhi knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
The female doctor who left already knew what kind of person Kevin was. She was actually having an affair with Kevin, and since Kevin could help her gain a higher status, she began to help Kevin do some unethical things.
She thought Kevin would succeed this time, but when she returned, she found the door wide open, Kevin lying on the ground, and Nanzhi nowhere to be seen.
This body had never been so rough before; with just two blows, Nanzhi's hand ached, and the back of her hand turned red.
She rubbed her hand bones and stood at the hospital entrance waiting for her driver to pick her up.
The driver arrived on time shortly afterward.
On the way back to the Marshal's Mansion, Nanzhi saw a vendor selling chestnut cakes by the roadside and quickly asked the driver to stop.
Nanzhi bought some chestnut cakes and got on the bus.
The driver thought they were going to continue back to the Marshal's Mansion, but she unexpectedly said, "Could you please take me to find the Marshal?"
The driver was somewhat puzzled.
Nan Zhi looked at the chestnut cake in her hand and smiled brightly: "This chestnut cake smells so good. The commander must be hungry after the meeting. I want to bring it to him."
Upon hearing this, the driver thought that the warlord had recently taken a liking to this ninth concubine, and figuring it wouldn't cause any trouble, so he took her to the place where the warlord was holding a meeting.
Shen Yunjin was the young marshal, but he was also considered Shen Zhencai's subordinate, so he was present at the meeting, which ended two hours later.
When he returned to the lounge with Shen Zhencai, he immediately spotted Nanzhi sitting on the sofa.
She was tilting her head, looking at the photo hanging on the wall—his photo.
The photo was taken when he first became the Young Marshal, wearing a military uniform, looking slightly more youthful than he does now.
Her expression was very serious, and her eyes were shining.
Shen Yunjin felt as if something had brushed against her heart, and an impossible thought was beginning to take root.
Could what she was referring to in the Book of Songs be...?
When Shen Zhencai saw her arrive, he asked with some confusion, "Why are you here?"
Nanzhi turned around and saw them. She paused for a moment, then quickly picked up the chestnut cake from the table and walked over to them. "I bought it on the street. I was thinking I could eat it after the commander-in-chief finished his meeting."
Shen Zhencai was very pleased that Nanzhi had this thoughtfulness.
"Let me try it." Shen Zhencai reached out and took a piece of chestnut cake. After taking a bite, he nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, sweet but not cloying, just my taste."
Seeing that he had eaten, Nan Zhi walked over to Shen Yunjin. She nodded slightly without looking at him and said, "Young Marshal, please try some too."
Looking at her with her head down, Shen Yunjin suddenly remembered a line of poetry written by a famous poet that seemed to be very popular recently.
The gentleness of that lowered head is like a water lily shyly trembling in the cool breeze.
