Chapter 185 Changing the Medicine
Pei Yanzhi's chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth and asked, word by word, "Did she really say that?"
Wu Yang nodded emphatically. Not to mention his lord, even he himself wished he could go deaf after hearing these words, so as not to hear such treasonous remarks.
The lady was truly frighteningly brave.
What does it mean that "His Majesty wants to remove the mother and keep the child"?
Upon seeing him nod, Pei Yanzhi immediately flew into a rage: "She has some nerve! Not only does she want to marry into my family, but she's also wantonly slandering my reputation outside."
"When did I ever say I wanted to remove the mother and keep the child? Huh?"
He paced back and forth in the room, clearly enraged by what he had just heard.
He then let out a sinister laugh from inside the room and said sharply, "So, she's taking advantage of the fact that the emperor is far away to ruthlessly ruin my reputation, is that it?"
Wu Yang peeked over and saw his lord's sinister, forced smile, and hurriedly lowered his head.
They also felt that the lady was too bold, daring to say anything at all.
Then, thinking that there were still things left to say, he hesitated for a moment and decided it was better not to say them.
But if he didn't speak up and his lord found out, he would inevitably be severely punished, putting him in a dilemma.
Pei Yanzhi turned to look at him and saw that his eyes were flickering and unclear, and his face changed several colors in an instant.
He immediately shouted, "What else do you have? Just say it all!"
Wu Yang straightened his back and said with a forced smile, "I have also heard that Master Sheng has a great appreciation for Magistrate Wen of Fenglin County. A few days ago, Wen Shiqing even came to our door... to propose marriage."
With a "clang," Pei Yanzhi swept the tea on the table to the ground. Supporting her back, she realized that she had truly lived a successful and prosperous life in Ganzhou for more than three years.
Not only are you attracting attention outside, but you're even getting engaged, right?
Wu Yang was so frightened that he even held his breath.
"Is there any more?"
Wu Yang hurriedly shook his head. If a few more explosive news stories came, he felt that it wouldn't be long before his lord burned down the inn.
He had initially thought that she had lived a poor and unhappy life for the past three years, and a secret sense of pleasure had even crossed his mind.
But now, what lies before him is—
Although her life was difficult, she was extremely carefree. She gave birth to her son, but she never cared for him from the moment he was born.
He never even considered taking in three concubines, but what about her? What was she doing?
Not only does she attract many suitors, but she also constantly seeks to marry a man into her family!
Enraged, he let out a cold laugh, and it took him a long time to barely suppress his murderous urge.
After Ji Shu returned to Guangmintang, someone came forward to take the medicine for which he had written the prescription. Ji Shu explained in detail how to boil it, saying that it should not be too thick or too thin.
The tall man looked troubled and finally pleaded, "Doctor, could I prepare the medicine here for you? You have to change the medicine every day, so I can take it with me. Just tell me how much silver you want."
Seeing his troubled expression, Ji Shu roughly guessed what was going on. Since the pharmacy offered decoction services, she agreed.
The next day, Qinghe and Chunzhi had been getting along very well these past few days. This unprecedented experience made Pei Qinghe even forget that he was a prince.
Even when he returned to the mansion with Sister Sheng, he felt that it would be wonderful if things could continue like this forever.
At the same time, he became even more determined to trick Sister Sheng into going to Luoyang to become a concubine of his brother, so that he could see her every day.
Ji Shu put the packed medicinal herbs into her medicine box and then walked to Tongfu Inn.
As soon as he stepped into the inn, the subordinate he had met the day before saw him and his eyes lit up. He immediately stepped forward and said, "You've finally arrived! My master has been waiting for you for a long time."
After speaking, he carefully glanced at Ji Shu's expression. Seeing that she looked normal, he hurriedly led the way.
Pushing open the door, it was still the same room, and still no one was inside.
When Ji Shu stepped inside, the entire room was silent, except for the wisps of smoke rising from the golden lion-shaped beast pattern.
Upon entering the inner room, a deliberately lowered voice, tinged with obvious displeasure, rang out: "Why are you only arriving at this hour?"
Ji Shu looked up, feeling puzzled. If she remembered correctly, she had not set a specific time to change the medicine yesterday, nor had she made any promises.
Why does it sound like she's committed some huge mistake?
Considering that this person was likely of noble status, he ultimately swallowed his anger.
He said in a low voice, "I have to see patients during the day, so I'll only be free in the afternoon. Even if I need to change the dressing, I'll come at this time."
After hearing her explanation, the people inside didn't say anything more.
After a moment of silence, a soft "hmm" came from the other side, which was a reluctant acceptance of her explanation.
The person had to remove their upper garment before the medicine could be applied, even though there was a bed curtain between them.
Adhering to the principle that doctors should not discriminate between men and women, he calmly said, "Please take off your outer garment."
"Only then can the medicine be applied!" The last four words were spoken clearly and concisely.
As soon as she said this, Pei Yanzhi's expression changed slightly. He then remembered that she was now a doctor, which meant she saw countless naked men every day.
He felt a surge of anger and frustration, but remembering what Wu Yang had said yesterday, he couldn't lash out and could only suppress it.
As she suggested, he removed his outer garment, revealing his strong, muscular arm.
Ji Shu, seemingly unaware, gently unwrapped the bandage, revealing faint traces of blood on the wound, indicating that it had reopened.
Her delicate brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but scold in a low voice, "Since you're injured, you need to rest properly. The wound isn't big, but it's deep enough to expose the bone, so you need to rest for a month."
Even though he knew she was only speaking to the patients, Pei Yanzhi's eyes seemed to overflow with tenderness after being scolded by her a few times.
Looking at her slender figure, her breasts which were even fuller than three years ago, and her delicate fingertips lightly touching him.
The familiar fragrance lingered around his nose, and he involuntarily closed his eyes, almost thinking it was another dream.
Over the past four years, he has dreamt of her more than once, grabbing her shoulders and questioning her about why she treated him this way.
Wasn't he good enough to her?
But upon waking, it was all just a dream.
Ji Shu was completely unaware of the turmoil in his heart. She evenly applied the herbs she had brought to the wound and then carefully wrapped it tightly with bandages.
Then the medicine was applied.
Pei Yanzhi did not immediately put on his clothes; his figure was only vaguely outlined through the gauze curtain.
Although Ji Shu felt that this person was somewhat arrogant and rude, she thought that most people in high positions were eccentric, so she stopped thinking about it.
It only takes about fifteen minutes to change the dressing each day, so just bear with it.
She packed her medicine kit and was about to take her leave when the person inside suddenly spoke, speaking casually as if in conversation: "When did you start learning medicine, young doctor?"
The soft rustling of clothes being put on could be heard inside.
Ji Shu paused slightly in her hand holding the medicine bottle, then calmly replied, "My family has been practicing medicine for generations, but my medical skills are shallow. If I encounter complex illnesses, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them."
