"Did she mix this fragrance?" Chen Changji asked abruptly.
"Yes! I was just joking at first, but I didn't expect her to actually be so skilled! I thought I was pretty good at perfumery, but compared to her, I seem to be lacking." Xie Qin said lazily.
No wonder Su Miao was able to win over Old Madam Shen!
Upon hearing Xie Qin's words, Shen Changji fell into deep thought.
Xie Qin was also skilled in perfumery and considered an expert, but the fact that he said those words showed that Su Miao was no ordinary person.
Not only Xie Qin was pleasantly surprised, but he was also a little taken aback.
Shen Changji thought of the words she had said that night.
Liu Jiaojiao wouldn't do that, but she would.
He had a very arrogant tone.
He couldn't quite understand this woman now, and even... became curious about her.
Xie Qin knew that Shen Changji wouldn't waste time on trivial matters, so he opened his eyes and asked, "What? You must have something to tell me!"
"The weather has been dry lately, could you prescribe some medicine to reduce internal heat?" Shen Changji said without the slightest hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qin immediately sat up straight, opened the window, and glanced at the weather outside.
Wow! I almost died laughing at what this man said.
“General Shen, the weather is just right, neither stuffy nor dry! I think it’s your restless heart that’s causing you this!” Xie Qin raised an eyebrow.
Shen Changji frowned upon hearing this.
"Are you worried that things might change while the night is still long?" Xie Qin tried to ask.
He remained silent for a long time.
Judging from the reaction, Xie Qin knew that it was pretty much what she had thought.
"Go find Sister Su, she can help you solve this problem, and who knows, she might just cure it completely!" Xie Qin said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changji's face darkened even further.
"Forget it, I know you don't like Su Meimei! She's a good person, don't ruin her! Go find Liu Jiaojiao! She's engaged to you, she's the perfect match." Xie Qin kindly suggested again.
This proposal made Shen Changji even more unhappy, and a storm was brewing.
"Let my only wife come! Trust me!" Xie Qin said with a "very kind" expression.
A long silence followed: "..."
Xie Qin knew without guessing that Shen Changji wouldn't agree.
"Isn't she your only wife? Both families are eager for you to get married. Besides, aren't you suffering from holding back? Don't blame your brother for not reminding you! You're a human, not a god. You have emotions and desires too!" Xie Qin said earnestly.
But his long, thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and his face was filled with anger.
"Look at you...sigh! But speaking of Liu Jiaojiao, she is kind-hearted. When the young princess of Xuanyi Marquis died, she remembered her few encounters with the princess and personally delivered a condolence gift. This morning, she even went up the mountain to the temple to recite scriptures, praying to heaven to protect her and prevent such a heartbreaking thing from happening again. She also prayed for the deceased princess to express her grief," Xie Qin said leisurely.
"Isn't she still recovering?"
Upon hearing Xie Qin's words, Shen Changji couldn't help but speak.
After all, the last time they didn't have a chance to talk because of a sudden change in Liu Jiaojiao's health, and now, the Liu family hasn't said anything about Liu Jiaojiao's condition either...
"Isn't she your only wife? Aren't you going to see her?" Xie Qin directly asked Shen Changji.
A long silence followed: "..."
“People outside say she’s a bodhisattva reborn, and you’re a war god. You two are a match made in heaven!” Xie Qin added.
Shen Changji stared at him coldly, his eyes deep and unfathomable, without uttering a word.
Xie Qin chose to remain silent.
...
At this moment, Liu Jiaojiao had finished chanting the sutra. She seemed to have thought of something, stopped and turned to Cui'er, saying, "I think I left my handkerchief behind. Could you go back and get it for me? Also, I have something to say to the master. Could you get the handkerchief back for me and wait for me here?"
Cui'er thought about what had happened in the past few days and quickly nodded.
After everyone left, Liu Jiaojiao turned around, skillfully navigated two alleys, and then pushed open the door of a meditation room and went inside.
Cui'er waited outside for almost two hours before she saw Liu Jiaojiao come out.
She seemed to be holding something in her hand.
But Cui'er didn't dare ask too many questions.
It wasn't until they returned to their residence that Liu Jiaojiao opened the package and handed it to Cui'er.
"One dose a day, one dose to be decocted three times. Go to the kitchen now and decoct the medicine for me," Liu Jiaojiao instructed.
This medicine is exactly a seven-day supply, and seven days later is her birthday.
The time has come to realize her interests and value.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Liu Jiaojiao's fingertips slipped inside her slightly parted neckline, gently caressing the red mark...
