Lu Qingyun's actions in front of everyone were bound to be met with disapproval. Moreover, the young master's status was not ordinary; he was the heir apparent of the Prince of Zhou. Fortunately, he was not the current emperor's beloved grandson, so there was still room for maneuver.
Lu Zhizhi personally beat "Lu Qingyan" into serious injury, and then personally went to apologize. Prince Zhou, who was not favored and had a mild temperament, naturally swallowed his anger.
However, the Prince of Zhou made a statement saying that Lu Qingyun had disgraced his name and was a villain, and that he would be irreconcilably opposed to "him" in the future!
With such severe injuries, it wouldn't be easy for him to recover. When Lu Qingyan arrived here, it was precisely when "Lu Qingyun" was recuperating.
Lu Qingyan sighed, resignedly picked up the medicine on the table, and gulped it down, her brows furrowing deeply. It was incredibly bitter; it seemed someone had added a lot of Coptis chinensis (a type of bitter herb), and omitting it didn't seem to affect its efficacy.
Lu Qingyan put down the bowl, carefully turned over, and then found something under her pillow—a fire-avoidance diagram.
Looking at the fire-avoidance diagram in her hand, Lu Qingyan clicked her tongue twice. Such a simple and crude drawing, yet "Lu Qingyun" actually treasured it? Also, did she even remember that she was actually a woman?
The pageboy Pingfu carefully carried the medicine to the bedside. "Young master, the medicine is no longer hot, you can drink it now."
Pingfu was originally called Ping'an, but it was changed to Pingfu to avoid using the reign title Anxi.
Pingfu glanced at what his young master had been intently looking at while lying injured in bed, and that glance nearly scared him to death. He stammered, "Young...Young Master, quickly, quickly put it away. It won't be good if the Master sees it."
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Qingyan said lazily. He said unhappily, "Didn't I already drink a bowl of this medicine? Why did you bring it over again?"
"You really drank it?" Pingfu clearly didn't believe it. That's why he specially prepared an extra bowl to try and persuade his young master.
“That old man added a lot more Coptis chinensis to it. Go tell him that if he does it again, I’ll smash up his shop.” Lu Qingyan’s face was fierce, which really frightened Pingfu.
"Young Master, are we really going to do this?" Pingfu asked, trembling with fear. "In the entire Yunzhou City, apart from Doctor Ma, it seems that no other doctor is willing to treat you. If we offend Doctor Ma now, and you get injured again in the future, no one will care. Moreover, the Master said that if you cause trouble again, he will break your leg."
Lu Qingyan immediately put on a dramatic act, crying and sniffling: "I knew it! He doesn't care about me, his son, at all. His stepmother is already pregnant. What am I to him!"
"Young Master, be careful what you say!" Pingfu said anxiously. "If the Master finds out that you're being so reckless, looking at the fire-avoidance diagram and talking about the stepmother, he'll definitely punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall again. The people in the stepmother's courtyard will be overjoyed." Pingfu said worriedly.
Lu Qingyan glanced at him but didn't reprimand him for breaking the rules.
Pingfu came from the old lady's courtyard and was used to hearing the stepmother say such things, so he was wholeheartedly considering "Lu Qingyun's" best interests.
Just like now, he can gossip about his stepmother, but he doesn't want anything inappropriate said by "Lu Qingyun" to reach Lu Zhizhi's ears.
Lu Qingyan liked this loyal servant very much.
Now that she's known as "Lu Qingyun," Lu Qingyan doesn't have any grand ambitions; she just wants to live a carefree life like the original owner of this body for a while.
