The nearest clinic is considered to be one of the more famous ones in the capital, and its name is Heqitang. At this moment, many people are coming in and out of the clinic, and it looks very busy.

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old came out of the clinic in a hurry. His steps were very quick. If you looked closely, you could see that he looked a little unnatural.

The young man was none other than Ji Chongyi, the third son of the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion.

He came to Heqitang to get medicine for his newly-married wife Qiaoniang.

The Anguo Mansion has a small pharmacy, which sells everything from precious century-old ginseng to common herbs. Although it is not as comprehensive as the big pharmacies outside, it has everything that is necessary. In theory, the master of the Anguo Mansion does not need to go outside for medical consultation or prescription medicine.

But Qiao Niang had a secret that she could not tell anyone. Ever since she fell into the water several months ago, she had been bleeding profusely every time her period came, which was very annoying.

Since Qiaoniang married into the Anguo Mansion, the sweetness and glory her husband brought her could not offset the pressure brought by the ubiquitous contempt in the mansion. She didn't dare to mention this problem to the maid, because even the maid was sent by the lady, and if she said it now, it would be heard by the lady.

The only person Qiao Niang trusts is Ji Chongyi.

Ji Chongyi married Qiao Niang under tremendous pressure, and of course he didn't want anyone to look down on his wife.

Not to mention anything else, on the second day after Qiao Niang entered the palace, Lady Anguo specially sent a maid to teach her etiquette.

Lady Anguo's action was undoubtedly like a slap in the face to Ji Chongyi, which made him embarrassed and helpless, but he had to endure it silently in the end.

Ji Chongyi knew that although Qiaoniang had a kind of kindness that the noble ladies did not have, she could not compare with the ladies from wealthy families who had been strictly educated since childhood in terms of etiquette. In this case, she should learn well. When Qiaoniang learned the etiquette well, at least the elders would not be picky about her in this regard.

Unconsciously, Ji Chongyi was even more sensitive to the attitude of the people in the mansion towards Qiao Niang than Qiao Niang herself. After hearing Qiao Niang's request, he naturally had to take action himself.

The maids and servants around Qiao Niang were not trustworthy, and he could not let his servant get this kind of medicine for his wife.

Ji Chongyi had just walked down the stairs carrying the packed medicine when a horse-drawn carriage hurriedly stopped not far away.

The driver was an exceptionally energetic young man. As soon as the carriage stopped, he jumped down swiftly, lifted the curtain, bent over and carried a person out of the carriage.

Ji Chongyi stopped subconsciously.

It is human nature to watch the excitement, and the person the young driver was holding was facing him, which made him open his eyes wide.

He knew this person.

Isn’t this the second son of the Dongping Marquis’s Mansion, and the brother of the fourth Miss Jiang who was previously engaged to him?

After the two families broke off the engagement, he was once stopped in an alley by the Second Young Master Jiang, who scolded him and called him a blind bastard.

There were even more unpleasant words, but Ji Chongyi didn't want to recall them.

After choosing to be with Qiao Niang, he has heard too much criticism. Now he still does not regret his original choice, but this does not mean that he will feel good when being scolded.

In short, Ji Chongyi was deeply impressed by Jiang Zhan, who almost became his brother-in-law.

Soon, a slender figure following closely beside Jiang Zhan caught his attention.

The girl's white shirt and red skirt cannot conceal her radiance even though she is in a hurry. She is like a touch of red among the lush green mountains, which will suddenly catch people's eyes and hearts.

Ji Chongyi was stunned again.

He had seen this girl before.

Ji Chongyi thought of it almost without thinking.

It was when he was welcoming his bride on his wedding day. He glanced inadvertently at the roadside amid the huge crowd and saw a corner of the curtain of a green-curtained horse-drawn carriage parked on the roadside being lifted up, revealing a beautiful face of a young girl as white as ice and snow.

At that time, he was impressed by the beauty of the girl in his heart, but he knew that such an encounter was like duckweed in the wind, and there would be no chance to see her again in the future.

Ji Chongyi didn't expect that he would remember someone he had only met once at a glance. This is probably the advantage that people with good looks have that others envy.

"Miss Jiang, don't worry. Mr. Jiang must be exhausted. He will be fine if he rests more." Long Dan comforted her.

"Yeah." Jiang Si just responded faintly, and soon the three of them entered the Heqi Hall.

Ji Chongyi was completely stunned.

The young driver just now seemed to call the young girl Miss Jiang, so she is——

This sudden discovery made Ji Chongyi feel extremely complicated. The completely vague image of the woman who had broken off the engagement with him in his mind suddenly became clear.

It turned out that she was Miss Jiang Si, and it turned out that she was the one who almost became his wife...

Realizing that he was distracted, Ji Chongyi suddenly shook his head with an unpleasant look on his face.

He was annoyed at his momentary distraction.

It's just a good-looking face, after all, it's a gift from God. He and Qiao Niang are in love with each other, and Qiao Niang's goodness is unmatched by other women.

He has no regrets whatsoever.

Ji Chongyi waved away the beautiful figure that suddenly appeared in his mind and hurried back to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

Qiao Niang was quite restless, and when she saw Ji Chongyi coming back, she immediately stood up to greet him.

The old woman beside her coughed loudly, and Qiao Niang stopped immediately, recalling the walking posture taught by the old woman, and walked towards her in small and cautious steps.

Ji Chongyi's mind suddenly flashed with the image of the girl's graceful figure even though she was in a hurry. Then he looked at Qiao Niang moving clumsily, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Come to think of it, his sisters were the same, but Qiao Niang was completely different from them.

Ji Chongyi felt a little depressed for no reason, and said to Qiaoniang, "Walk carefully, be careful not to trip over your skirt."

"But..." Qiao Niang couldn't help but glance at the old woman with a timid look on her face.

If she forgets these, the old woman will scold her again.

Ji Chongyi became even more upset, and turned to the maids and servants beside him and said, "All of you get out!"

The maids and servants quickly left, and Qiao Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "Did you buy it back?"

Ji Chongyi looked at her deeply and sighed: "Isn't this good?"

Qiao Niang's smile faded, and she whispered, "But if I don't learn well, I'll be laughed at when I go out."

Since she married into the Anguo Mansion, she has never attended a banquet because the Anguo Lady did not allow it, saying that it would be embarrassing for her to meet guests if she did not learn the rules well.

Of course Qiao Niang also has self-esteem.

Ji Chongyi suddenly felt a little bored and sighed, "Then you should study hard and learn it well as soon as possible. Ask the maid to boil this medicine and remember to take it on time."

It's okay if you don't learn it or if you learn it well, but at least don't be as weird as you are now.

"Ayi, where are you going?" Qiao Niang was stunned when she saw Ji Chongyi was about to leave.

Ji Chongyi forced a smile and said, "I'm going to the study to read for a while."

Looking at Ji Chongyi's departing back, Qiao Niang uttered one word in a daze: "Uh."

This response was obviously not heard by the other party, and the only answer she received was the swaying sound of the beaded curtains.

Shuntian government office.

Zhen Shicheng looked at the long group of people brought back by the yamen runners and felt like quitting his job.

He finally understood why his previous colleagues didn't last long.
