Chapter 388 Cui Liuniang, have you figured out how to cover up this lie?
When Cui Si returned to the house, Yan Xingchuan had already gone to the bathroom to take a shower. Yanzhi went to the outer courtyard to ask Yun Gang for a change of clothes, and brought them back to Cui Si.
Cui Si brought it in and placed it on the rack in the outer room: "Your change of clothes is here."
Yan Xingchuan was sitting in the bathtub scrubbing himself. When he heard the sound, he turned his head suddenly and saw her figure through the screen painted with plum branches. Before he could respond, she turned and left.
As she left, Yan Xingchuan felt his heart suddenly empty. When he came to his senses, he scooped up a handful of water to wash his face, then quickly finished washing, changed his clothes, and walked out.
At this moment, Cui Si was sitting on the couch by the window drinking water. When she saw him come out, she paused, asked him to come over in a bad mood, then took out a bottle of medicine, dipped some with a small piece of cotton, and applied it to his wound.
Yan Xingchuan looked at her serious expression with her head down, and his heart softened for a moment. The heart that had been hanging in the air for so many days seemed to finally be resolved at this moment.
After applying the potion, he suddenly held her hand: "A'si, I..."
"Don't do such things in the future." Cui Si interrupted him, "The self-torture trick won't work on me. You hurt yourself, but no one cares."
"Don't you feel sad?" he asked.
"Feeling bad?" She looked up at him for a long moment, then sneered, "King of Beiyan, it's quite meaningless to ask such a question. Why are you doing this?"
In her life, she only cared about herself and her family. Didn't he know that he, Yan Xingchuan, was just an outsider to her?
"I don't believe it." Yan Xingchuan held her face in his hands and looked at her intently. "A'si, look at me. Look into my eyes and say, 'I know you care about me.' And you came to see me back at Chongshan Pass."
He didn't believe that there was no place for him in her heart.
Cui Si reached out and pried his hands apart, then turned her face away and said slowly, "You're overthinking it. I'm just afraid that you'll die. If you die, who knows how long the world will be in chaos, and who knows how many years the people will have to endure war and chaos."
"And your survival is the best outcome for the Cui family."
"I don't care." He suddenly became stubborn. "I just know that you care about me, and that's all. Any reason is fine."
"Whatever you think." Cui Si was too lazy to argue with him. "Since you think it exists, then so be it."
After saying this, Cui Si stood up and walked out.
"Let's go. I'm a little hungry. Please have some food with me."
They had just eaten a little today when they started arguing and then hurriedly left. Both of them had only eaten a few bites, and after such a long time, they were already hungry.
Thinking of this, Cui Si felt a little regretful. Why did she argue with him? She ended up getting so angry that she felt uncomfortable. She couldn't even eat a few bites of food and had to go hungry.
So she didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore and turned around and walked outside.
Hearing this, Yan Xingchuan finally smiled, and then took a few steps forward to support her: "A'si, please walk slower."
The two of them arrived at the Ming Hall, and the maids brought up the freshly prepared meals from the kitchen one by one, and then left.
Yan Xingchuan poured her half a bowl of soup as usual, but Cui Si shook her head and said she didn't want to drink it: "It's evening now, I don't want to drink it."
Yan Xingchuan nodded and didn't force her. He just asked her to eat something else and then ate quietly like he did this evening.
However, compared to the calm before the storm in the evening, both of them were much calmer at this time, as if they had experienced a storm and were still drizzling. However, he believed that the rain would soon stop and the sky would clear up.
When we were halfway through the meal, the kitchen brought us the medicinal food prepared today. It was a stewed chicken with some unknown medicinal ingredients. The soup base looked yellow-orange and smelled very fragrant.
Yan Xingchuan had someone bring a new soup bowl over and filled her up with half a bowl. "This is the medicinal food Mr. Jiang prescribed. It's been stewed for an hour. You should at least have some."
Cui Si looked up at him in surprise: "You invited him?"
"Why not?" Yan Xingchuan said as if it was a matter of course. "Since we're going to hire a doctor, we'll naturally hire the best. I've already paid him the consultation fee, and I've also agreed with him that he'll be the one to see you until you give birth."
Cui Si: "..."
She took a sip of the medicinal soup in silence. It was fragrant and tasted a little sweet, not greasy at all. She couldn't help but drink another sip.
After carefully considering her words, she asked him, "Didn't you suspect I had some connection with him earlier? Why did you invite him here?"
Yan Xingchuan said as a matter of course: "Even if you doubt it, do you really have to settle for another doctor? Is this something you can settle for?"
This is a matter of concern for the safety of his wife and child, so he would naturally try his best to hire the best doctor, even if he didn't like Jiang Cinian as a person, and even more so didn't like him meeting Cui Si.
But his wife and children are more important, and he is not crazy because of jealousy.
Cui Si was confused by what he said. It seemed to make some sense, but also seemed to make no sense.
But she didn't want to change it. Although she had the experience of giving birth in her previous life, giving birth for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. It is impossible for her to be so calm as to think that she was safe in her previous life and would be safe in this life as well.
Moreover, if Jiang Cinian, a skilled doctor, was around, she would have to suffer less. If it weren't for her child, she really wouldn't want to endure this suffering.
After thinking about it, she became curious: "What did you pay for the consultation? It wasn't silver, was it?"
Money is useful to Jiang Cinian, but not very useful. This is really a bit bullying. You know, if it really comes, he will be the one who is embarrassed.
"Am I such a person?" Yan Xingchuan was displeased upon hearing this. "I promised him that if you give birth safely, no one in Northern Yan will dare to touch him in the future. Even if Northern Yan conquers the world in the future and his identity becomes known, no one will dare to take his life."
"I invited him here sincerely and with a promise, okay?"
Cui Si was really surprised this time. She really didn't expect Yan Xingchuan to make such a promise. If so, when Northern Yan conquered the world in the future, Jiang Cinian would not have to hide under an assumed name.
This is indeed a promise that is kept, and Jiang Cinian does not suffer any loss. Even if it is a bit embarrassing, it is worth it.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'd dare to lie to you?" Yan Xingchuan glanced at her coldly. "If I dare to lie to you again, will you pack up and run away tomorrow?"
Speaking of running away, Cui Si still felt a little guilty. She really didn't expect Yan Xingchuan to come to her suddenly and caught her red-handed.
Yan Xingchuan asked her, "Are you wondering why I came to see you so suddenly? I went back to Beiyan City, passed by Pingzhou, and then went to Xianyang City to meet you."
Cui Si's expression suddenly became subtle: "Then, then my grandmother..."
"Yes, she already knows that you've been away from Miaozhou for a long time. Cui Liuniang, have you figured out how to cover up this lie?"
