Chapter 490 The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 101
The next morning, Hong Xiangyu dressed up and went to the second floor.
She was not going to find Ji Yunhuan, she was going to find Lin Yuan. Since she couldn't beat Ji Yunhuan and couldn't get the captain position of the Phoenix Team, she might as well marry Lin Yuan.
Otherwise, there would be no place for her in this village. If Ji Yunhuan continued to whisper in Lin Yuan's ear, Lin Yuan would definitely be fed up with her.
"Brother Lin, I'm here to bring you breakfast. This is cooked by me personally."
Hong Xiangyu went upstairs with the tray and walked around the room but couldn't find Lin Yuan. She was about to go to the meeting hall to look for him, but ran into Ji Yunhuan as she went out.
"I'm here. I haven't had my meal yet. Yu'er is so thoughtful."
Ji Yunhuan finished the porridge in just a few mouthfuls, put down the empty bowl, and said with a smile: "Aunt Gao's cooking skills are still so good. Please take it for me. Since you are so sensible, how about we learn something simple today and start with the abacus?"
Hong Xiangyu stamped her feet in anger, "This is not for you... What are you doing? Don't touch me, I won't go with you, Brother Lin... Brother Lin... Help me!"
Ji Yunhuan ignored Hong Xiangyu's resistance and pulled her to a temporary study room, which was filled with many old account books and rosters, and people were constantly sending new rosters.
Ruyi came in holding a cash box, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and said loudly: "Miss, Team A is the fastest. The members have been decided. It's time to pay them their salaries. There are also those cloths to make new clothes for the team members. There are not many women in the village, so we can only take it slowly..."
Ruyi spoke a long speech that made Hong Xiangyu dizzy. Ji Yunhuan quickly made the arrangements, then pushed Hong Xiangyu to sit in front of the table and handed her the abacus.
"Well, this box of silver is now yours. If there is any shortage or the accounts are not clear, it will be deducted from your dowry."
Hong Xiangyu started working subconsciously. She did the calculations haltingly, but she couldn't just give up. This was money to be paid to Uncle Kai and the others. If the account book wasn't written clearly, Ji Yunhuan would withhold the money.
Hong Xiangyu was too embarrassed to ask Ji Yunhuan, so she could only ask Huang Daxian secretly.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, she paid out the monthly salary to Team A.
A day passed like this, and she didn't even see the shadow of Brother Lin. Now when she closed her eyes, all she could see were abacus beads.
After that, no matter when she went to see Brother Lin, that annoying Ji Yunhuan was there. She had no chance to be alone with Brother Lin at all, let alone develop feelings for him.
Ji Yunhuan always found some weird things to embarrass her. She had almost returned all the characters she had learned before to the teacher, and now she had to learn them all over again.
Ji Yunhuan also laughed at her ugly handwriting, saying that her handwriting was as bad as a dog's and not even as good as a child's.
She was not convinced, so she compared her handwriting with others and found that her handwriting was indeed the ugliest. Even that little kid named Xiaofan's handwriting was better than hers.
So, she had an additional task of practicing calligraphy, which became even more annoying!
On this day, one of the people Lin Yuan sent out finally came back, and brought back a middle-aged doctor.
Doctor Cao bowed to Lin Yuan and said, "My father is old and it is inconvenient for him to travel, but the Cao family has always remembered the life-saving grace of Gang Master Hong. When I heard that Gang Master Hong passed away, my father ordered me to come and pay tribute to Gang Master Hong."
Lin Yuan took Doctor Cao to his adoptive father's grave to pay homage, and then immediately took him upstairs.
Ji Yunhuan was having lunch. Seeing Lin Yuan rushing in in a hurry, he raised his eyes and smiled, "I told you to do your own thing. You don't have to come specially to accompany me for lunch. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Yuan turned around and pulled Doctor Cao in, and asked anxiously, "Doctor, please hurry up, why are you walking so slowly?"
"Huan'er, I found the best doctor in Cangzhou City. Please let the doctor take a look."
Doctor Cao was so tired that he was out of breath. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a very beautiful woman sitting in the middle. The Cao family had been practicing medicine for generations, and he had seen many dignitaries in Cangzhou, but no woman could have such a beauty and demeanor.
Such a woman really shouldn't appear in a bandit's lair. She should be matched with a building with carved beams and painted rafters, and a boudoir decorated with gold and jade.
Doctor Cao took a step back, turned sideways and didn't look directly at the girl's face. "Boss Lin, don't look at her without permission. This is too abrupt. We should prepare a screen to block the young lady. We also need a silk handkerchief to cushion her wrist..."
Lin Yuan dragged Doctor Cao into the house and said impatiently, "Why are there so many broken rules! How can you tell the complexion behind the screen? Stop talking nonsense and treat the patient quickly. If you can't understand, I'll ask another doctor."
Doctor Cao then remembered that this was not the residence of any nobleman. This beautiful woman was most likely abducted to the mountain by Lin Yuan.
Boss Hong is such a righteous man and would never do such evil things. Lin Yuan is far from that.
Doctor Cao was just a doctor, and he definitely didn't have the ability to save people from the bandits' den. He could only walk up to Ji Yunhuan hesitantly and bowed to her, "Miss, please forgive me. It's really presumptuous of me. Please stretch out your hand and let me examine you."
Ruyi had already cleared the dishes off the table. Lanhua brought a round wooden stool and placed it next to Doctor Cao, saying politely, "Uncle Cao, please sit down."
Doctor Cao looked at the room full of strange people, including children, old people, young girls, and stout women. The room was crowded with all kinds of things, and there were also tables, desks, and writing brushes.
Is it really strange that people in a bandit's den actually need to read and learn calligraphy?
Doctor Cao suppressed the doubts in his heart and put his hand on Ji Yunhuan's wrist. He frowned and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with some pity.
Such a beautiful woman cannot escape the fate of being defiled, and now she is even pregnant. How pitiful.
Seeing Doctor Cao's solemn expression, Lin Yuan's heart sank further and further, "What happened to Huan'er? Why don't you say something?"
Doctor Cao thought of a lot of things in a flash. Pregnant women always have various discomforts, but there are no regular doctors in the bandit's den. The baby is still young and there is no sign of pregnancy, so Gang Leader Lin thought she was sick.
If the girl doesn't want the bandit's child, she can still have an abortion now, but it will be dangerous if it takes too long.
Doctor Cao winked at Ji Yunhuan, "The girl's health is not very good. There are too many people here, so it's hard to ask some questions. I wonder if you can spare me a moment to talk."
Ji Yunhuan finally remembered the Qianjin Pill. She had been so busy these days that she almost forgot about it.
She has a good appetite now and enjoys everything she eats. The child is so obedient that she even forgets that she is pregnant.
Ji Yunhuan knew that Doctor Cao had misunderstood, so she explained, "I volunteered to follow A Yuan up the mountain. Doctor, please speak frankly without hiding anything. Am I pregnant?"
