Chapter 679 After my husband passed the imperial examination, I became his second wife (7)
Lin Shichu did not tell her parents that she encountered a seriously injured person on the way home. After all, telling them would only make them worry for nothing.
But she didn't expect that only half a month later, she saw the man in her own pharmacy.
At that time, Lin Shichu was discussing the large-scale planting of herbs with the owner of the medicine shop when the man suddenly walked in from the door.
"Get the medicine." The man's voice was as cold as frost, his pair of dark eyes were sharp and bright, he was dressed in black, he was tall and had long legs, even though he had no expression on his face, he still looked as tall and straight as a jade tree.
Lin Shichu's eyes lit up. She recognized the man as soon as he came in. Although his face was no longer covered with blood, dust, and dirt, how could Lin Shichu not recognize such an outstanding face? It seemed that he chose to believe in himself in the wild last time and took the bottle of medicine, so he was able to save his life and come here to get medicine.
The shopkeeper went to get the medicine. Yue Lingxuan felt a particularly hot gaze falling on his face. He looked suddenly in the direction of the gaze and saw a bright and beautiful face with a pair of watery round eyes looking at him curiously.
Yue Lingxuan's face suddenly turned even colder. Wasn't this woman the one who threw him on the side of the road more than half a month ago because she disliked him for blocking the road? Although the bottle of medicine she left for him did save his life, Yue Lingxuan didn't like this woman when he thought of her ruthless attitude towards him and her indifference.
Lin Shichu had no idea that she was hated. When she saw the man looking at her, she gave him a sweet smile. Her appearance was very deceptive, with bright eyes, white teeth, a heart-shaped face and round eyes. She was the type of person who was delicate, innocent and beautiful, and very easy to like.
The original owner's personality was actually quite consistent with her appearance, but now Lin Shichu, who has a new soul inside, is very different from her appearance. She now looks like a sweet girl, but at heart she is a queen. People who don't understand her personality can easily be confused by her.
Unfortunately, Yue Lingxuan had seen her tough and cold side, so when he saw her smiling so sweetly at him, he immediately had a worse impression of Lin Shichu, thinking that she was hypocritical and very good at pretending.
So he looked at Lin Shichu with a cold face, but thinking of the bottle of medicine she gave him, Yue Lingxuan took out a ten-tael silver coin from his arms, walked up to Lin Shichu and handed it to her.
"Why give me silver?" Lin Shichu asked him with his head tilted.
Yue Lingxuan's voice was like cold jade striking each other: "Consider it the money to buy your bottle of medicine."
When Lin Shichu heard him speak out the truth, he knew that he was no longer in danger, so he wanted to tease him and said, "You can't buy my bottle of medicine for ten taels of silver."
That bottle of medicine was a magical medicine that could stimulate human potential and allow people to move freely even when they were seriously injured. It used a lot of precious medicinal materials and the preparation method was also complicated. It really could not be bought with ten taels of silver. Lin Shichu did not lie to him.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingxuan took back the ten taels of silver and asked, "How much silver do you want?"
"No amount of silver can buy it, because I am the only one in the world who can make it. It is a priceless treasure." Lin Shichu teased him deliberately when he saw that he had a cold face towards him and looked like he didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Who knew that Yue Lingxuan sneered after hearing her words, and took back the ten taels of silver, and said: "Since it is a priceless treasure, there is no need to measure it with silver."
Lin Shichu didn't care whether he gave her money or not, because her family already had a lot of money. She just wanted to tease this cold-faced man: "Indeed, my priceless medicine saved your priceless life, it's worth it."
Yue Lingxuan narrowed his narrow and long phoenix eyes and stared at Lin Shichu coldly with a terrifying aura.
But Lin Shichu was not afraid of him, and still asked him with a smile: "Sir, can you tell me your name?"
"No." Yue Lingxuan said coldly and ruthlessly.
"Well, if you can't, then you can't. Are your injuries almost healed? They should be almost healed, otherwise you wouldn't come out alone to get medicine." Lin Shichu supported his chin with the tip of his index finger and said with certainty.
Yue Lingxuan's eyes were involuntarily attracted by her slender, white fingers. Her fingers were white, tender like jade, round and perfect, which set off the flawless skin on her face. Yue Lingxuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Lin Shichu's index finger rose from the chin to the plump and rosy lips, and gently tapped on the red lips. The red and white formed a sharp contrast, with an unconscious temptation and beauty.
After Yue Lingxuan realized what he was thinking, his eyes immediately looked as if burned by fire and he quickly looked away, secretly cursing himself for not having enough self-control and scolding Lin Shichu for not being reserved, but the tips of his ears quietly turned red.
The shopkeeper picked up all the medicine on Yue Lingxuan's prescription, packed them into several packets, handed them to you, Yue Lingxuan, and said, "The medicine will cost seven taels of silver."
"Shopkeeper Wang, we won't charge this young man for this medicine." Lin Shichu suddenly said.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at her, then looked at the young man in front of him who was pale but as beautiful as an orchid and a jade tree. He immediately showed Lin Shichu a knowing smile and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. Sir, your medicine fee today will be waived by our young lady."
"No need!" Yue Lingxuan refused to accept Lin Shichu's kindness and threw the ten taels of silver onto the counter. "No need to change the rest."
After saying that, he took a few steps and left the pharmacy.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the silver ingot, then looked at Lin Shichu, who said, "Since they have left the silver, just take it."
Shopkeeper Wang then accepted the money for Yue Lingxuan's medicine.
After Lin Shichu teased the woman, he forgot about her, but Yue Lingxuan did not forget her. In fact, he had no way of forgetting her. After all, this woman could face a bloody person without changing her expression. She was also very arrogant and presumptuous. She was not at all delicate and virtuous like the women of today. It would be strange for him to forget such a woman.
In order to know himself and his enemy, Yue Lingxuan asked the innkeeper to boil the medicine. After drinking it, he went to the street to inquire about Lin Shichu's identity.
Lin Shichu's identity was easy to find out. After all, in this small town, the Lin family was one of the richest families and almost everyone knew them.
Yue Lingxuan easily found out her identity.
Yue Lingxuan was very surprised to learn that Lin Shichu was actually the daughter of a wealthy man, because her personality was completely different from what everyone described. Everyone said that she was kind and easy to get along with, and was good at business, very much like her father.
