Chapter 342 Wanyan Zonglie's Letter, Jealousy
“I told them that bad people were after you and wanted to take you away. When they grow up, I will teach them martial arts and help them protect you. I will also take them to the battlefield to kill that bastard Wanyan Zonglie.”
Xiao Xuance felt very innocent. He complained to his two sons for a bit, and Erbao suddenly cried, while Dabao laughed and clapped his little hands.
The older child is still the cutest; the younger one will only give him a headache.
Yun Zhaoxue scolded him, "Don't mention those violent things in front of the children anymore, do you hear me?"
Wanyan Zonglie was Erbao's adoptive father, and they had feelings for each other. His biological father asked him to kill his adoptive father, so he must have felt terrible.
We must not let Erbao meet with Wanyan Zonglie in the future.
Xiao Xuance didn't answer immediately, and his arm was pinched.
It didn't hurt much until Yun Jiaoxue gave him a look, at which point he pretended to furrow his brow and begged for mercy, "Xue'er, please have mercy, it hurts..."
"Only through pain can one learn a lesson. How old are they to be telling them these things? You're corrupting them. I'll beat you up, kick you out, and leave you alone in this empty house, never to see your son again." Yun Zhaoxue held Erbao in one arm and pinched him with the other, uttering harsh words.
Xiao Xuance dared not resist. Forced to the bedside, he panicked when he heard he would be left alone in the empty room. He grabbed his wife's fair and delicate hand and pleaded, "Xue'er, I can avoid seeing them, but I cannot avoid seeing you..."
He can only fall asleep at night when he is holding his sweet and soft wife.
Then, seeing his cowardly appearance, he snorted out a snot bubble, "Pfft~"
She grinned, but when her father looked over, she pursed her lips and pretended to be sad, burying her face in Lin Zhaoxue's chest.
Xiao Xuance, “…”
That brat got him scolded and then gloated.
I really want to beat this brat up.
The couple coaxed their two sons to sleep.
The dark bed curtains were drawn, and the couple secretly made their way under the covers.
The man covered her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her passionately.
Yun Zhaoxue pressed down on his hand as he untied the straps of his bodice.
“You’ve been acting strangely since you came back today. What happened afterward? Tell me the truth.”
"Because of a letter." Xiao Xuance said, slightly out of breath.
Yun Zhaoxue pushed him away again and reached out to ask for the letter, "What letter? Let me see it."
He carefully reached into the bedside drawer, pulled out a letter, and placed it in her hand.
Yun Zhaoxue rolled over and lay on top of the man, taking a flashlight from under the pillow to illuminate the room.
Princess Xue'er:
Our meeting in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a breathtaking sight, a fleeting moment amidst the fragrance of clothes and the elegance of hair. Though you set a trap, your character and demeanor resonate deeply with the sons and daughters of the Great Jing. The mountains and passes are vast and desolate; how much better to ride horses across the grasslands! The golden tent is already prepared with sable and brocade, and the position of concubine awaits.
There, a flickering candle illuminates my ailing bones; my lame foot can hardly traverse the mossy steps. How can I promise you the stars, the moon, the rivers, and mountains? Last night, I dreamt of my son, bow in hand, standing on horseback, his eyes as clear as yours, his bones bearing my sharp edge. This son will inherit my mantle and expand our vast territories.
When the flags of the capital are raised in favor of the emperor, I look forward to your presence and sharing in the glory.
Wanyan Zonglie
After reading it, Yun Zhaoxue finally understood why he was angry.
It's wrong to try to steal his girlfriend, belittle him for being lame, and shamelessly fantasize about their future children.
The child Wanyan Zonglie mentioned must be Erbao. Could it be that he was also reborn?
It shouldn't be a rebirth. If it were a rebirth, she wouldn't treat someone else's child as her own.
Yun Zhaoxue was lost in thought for a moment when her clothes were ripped open. She snapped back to reality and pushed the head away from her chest. "Don't do anything rash, the baby's still here..."
Caught off guard, the man was pushed away, his head hitting the headboard. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he let out a muffled groan, "Hmm~"
Her phoenix eyes held a hint of resentment.
Yun Zhaoxue cupped his face in her hands, rubbed the back of his head, and whispered, "Husband, I want to too, but the child is here. Let's go outside another day..."
"real?"
"Really, so get some sleep now. Yeah."
She wasn't the original owner of this body, and she wasn't captured by Wanyan Zonglie in this life. They won't have much interaction in the future. It's all his wishful thinking, and it won't affect their relationship.
Li Mansion.
Two carriages stopped in front of the Li residence.
Madam Li led the way, saying, "Please come in, miracle doctor! Miracle doctor, is there really any hope for my husband?"
Whether it can be cured or not can only be determined after seeing the patient.
If he's about to die, there's definitely no cure. If he's still clinging to life, he can at least extend his life by a year or two. If he still has a few breaths left, then it's much easier to handle. What he can't cure, the girl certainly can.
She is a fairy from heaven, and even without holy water, she has all sorts of strange and wonderful ways to save people.
When Madam Li heard that he hadn't made any boastful claims about being able to cure the disease, she felt that this miracle doctor was reliable. Besides, the villagers who came to Li Family Village with lung abscesses had all been cured by the miracle doctor.
"Please come in, divine doctor. I have great faith in you. If you can cure my master, I will reward you handsomely."
"No need for a generous reward, I will only accept the consultation fee that is due."
He's so old, what does he need so much money for?
Carrying this heavy gold around would be inconvenient, as it would be difficult to travel all over the country.
Madam Li led the way to the backyard, where she bumped into a young man.
When the man saw Madam Li with two strangers, his smile vanished instantly. He took two steps forward, leaned close to Madam Li, and whispered, "Mother, who are they? Are they those lowly people from Li Family Village again? You're too kind-hearted. You'll agree to anything you ask later. Don't let them fool you again this time."
Before Madam Li could explain, Li Rui scolded the servants beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Get those two out of here right now! If you let any more of those scoundrels into the manor, I'll dock half a month's salary, you hear me?"
He had already instructed that anyone without a visiting card or whom he did not know should be turned away, and not allowed to set foot in the Li residence, so that they would not learn their lesson.
The butler explained, "Young master, these two are renowned physicians invited by the madam to treat your illness."
Li Rui sized up Hua Murong's clothes. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes with patches, and a wine gourd hung from his waist. You couldn't even find it if you threw it into a pile of beggars on the roadside. He sneered disdainfully, "Hmph! A miracle doctor? What makes him look like a miracle doctor? He looks more like a charlatan."
"Guards, throw him out!"
"No, Rui'er, if you drive the miracle doctor away, your father's illness will never be cured."
“Mother, you’ve been staying in the inner quarters all year round and don’t know how treacherous people are outside. The world is too chaotic these days, and there are swindlers everywhere. They’re just here to cheat you out of your money. You’re just grasping at straws in your desperation.”
Madam Li shook her head. "Rui'er, listen to me. The miracle doctor is not a fraud. A few days ago, he cured the patient with lung abscess in Li Family Village. He is the famous Dr. Hua, not a fraud."
Li Rui became even more agitated upon hearing about Li Family Village. "Li Family Village? It's those damned lowly people again. They must have conspired to deceive you. Get them out of here!"
"No, only a divine physician can save the master."
After Master Li died, Li Rui became the head of the family, and the servants dared not disobey him. "Please leave, you two!"
"Fine, then don't treat me. Don't come begging to me again." Hua Murong had his temper too, and he turned and left.
Madam Li tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Please wait, divine physician..."
When Li Rui saw Yun Zhaoxue's face, his eyes lit up. "Wait!"
Mrs. Li thought her son had changed his mind.
"This young lady is quite beautiful. I wonder if she is worthy of marriage? If not, I might consider taking her as a concubine, so that she can wear gold and silver and have no worries about food and drink. It would be a waste for such a beautiful lady to be a conman."
Li Rui unfolded his folding fan and walked towards Yun Zhaoxue, a slight smile curving his lips.
Hua Murong stood in front of Yun Zhaoxue, saying, "She is not someone you can touch."
Li Rui knew martial arts. He raised his hand, pushed Hua Murong aside, and was about to grab Yun Zhaoxue when he shouted, "You old geezer, get out of my way!"
Yun Zhaoxue's silver needle pierced Li Rui's arm through her fingers, causing him to feel numbness and lose strength.
"ah!"
He kicked him in the knee again, twisted his hands behind his back, and then slammed his knee into his lower back, forcing him to kneel down.
Hua Murong held a handful of silver needles and plunged them into his body. "You brat, how dare you question this divine doctor? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Never offend a doctor, no matter who you are'? It hurts, doesn't it? Not enough? Give me a few more needles. I'll stab you, I'll stab you..."
"Young Master..."
Madam Li rushed to her son's side, "Rui'er..."
"Miracle doctor, I apologize on behalf of my son. Could you please release him?"
"He won't die. The lock will open automatically in an hour. Let's treat Master Li first."
Li Rui felt humiliated, angry, and in pain after being subdued by a woman. His face contorted with rage as he glared fiercely at Yun Zhaoxue, "Who are you? Let me go! I was careless just now, uh..."
Yun Zhaoxue then silenced him by pressing his acupoint, "That's much quieter now."
Madam Li dared not offend the divine physician, so she could only temporarily wrong her son and instructed the steward, "Take the young master back first."
"Yes, madam." The steward instructed two servants to carry the person back.
