Crown Prince
The moon cast shimmering shadows, and silvery moonlight bathed the entire bedchamber.
Xiao Xuan was reviewing memorials at his desk, ever since Ning Yin had treated him during the day.
He's in much better spirits now, and he reads memorials much faster.
Before long, the memorial weighing several kilograms was reviewed.
He got up and summoned the eunuch Chen Dechang to prepare hot water for his bath.
The man, soaking in the water, inexplicably felt a restlessness within him.
Even though my headache has subsided, why do I still feel this way?
Xiao Xuan closed his eyes and placed his hands on the edge of the wooden tub.
Ning Yin's aloof and ethereal face suddenly appeared in my mind.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her black hair flowed like a waterfall.
Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, and were curved like a new moon.
Even though she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, it couldn't hide her graceful figure.
In particular, the unique medicinal fragrance emanating from her body, like a poisonous insect, captivated him.
That's why I lose my composure whenever I smell that scent during the day.
For the first time in twenty years, Xiao Xuan felt the fatal attraction of a woman.
...
As for Ning Yin, Shen Yun has indeed not bothered her again since the last incident.
As the clinic's business gradually got on track, the medicines they had bought earlier were almost used up.
Seeing that she had a considerable amount of money, she sent Suxin to Kyoto to restock some goods.
As the weather grew colder, the house they lived in did indeed become a bit drafty.
It's time to get it repaired in preparation for winter.
Ning Yin couldn't help but smile when she recalled how Li Xuan had been terrified by a cockroach.
I wonder if this person has finished their medicine.
To be honest, aside from being a little mentally unstable at the beginning, he was quite generous with his money.
In addition, their lives are getting better and better.
They have no worries about food and clothing, and can even save a lot of money.
Although life was not as luxurious as that in the General's Mansion.
But no one made her kneel in the ancestral hall anymore, and no one complained that she couldn't keep her husband's heart.
There's no need to get up before dawn every day to pay respects to one's mother-in-law.
There's no need to be cautious or timid; just keep a low profile.
She can be herself.
As it happens, Zhang Erhu, who lives at the entrance of the village, is a carpenter.
Ningyin went out and found someone to help repair the house and make some furniture.
This makes the whole house look brand new instantly.
Although the exterior is old, the interior is no longer drafty.
The master and servant cleaned the house and changed the locks.
This home has become more and more cozy.
......
Shortly after Ningyin's house was repaired, a batch of venomous snakes ordered by Shenjia arrived.
"Green Bamboo, won't this snake be poisonous and kill someone?"
“Miss, Uncle Wu, who catches snakes, told me that this snake is not very venomous; at most, it will cause skin ulceration and disfigurement.”
"Alright, let's do it tonight!"
The night was deep, and the wind rustled.
As Shen Jia sat in the carriage, watching the lights in Ning Yin's room go out, a malicious glint flashed in her eyes once more.
"I've gone to bed, hurry up and go!"
This time she only brought green bamboo, and didn't bring a single groom.
The purpose is to do it without anyone noticing.
Green Bamboo nodded, picked up a sack of snakes and a wooden bucket, and tiptoed toward Ningyin's courtyard.
The venom of these snakes is not fatal.
But Green Bamboo was still very anxious. What would she do if she got bitten?
She was hoping to marry into a good family.
About half an hour later, Green Bamboo returned.
The sack in his hand was empty.
"How about it?"
Shen Jia quickly stepped forward to inquire.
“Miss, I left the snake at their front door. I remember seeing a hole in their door last time, so it should be able to crawl in soon.”
"Then, I used the water from the big vat in the yard to pour several buckets of water into their house, which was right opposite the medicine shelf."
Green Bamboo was panting heavily, her heart pounding with anxiety.
Such a thing is utterly immoral. If Ning Yin were to be disfigured because of her, she would never be at peace with herself for the rest of her life.
However, on the other hand, one's own future is the most important thing.
She couldn't possibly push herself into a fire pit just to pity others.
"Well done, you're quick-witted. We'll come back tomorrow morning."
Shen Jia patted Green Bamboo's head as a reward.
Now, the tightness in my chest finally dissipated by more than half.
She just wanted to teach this arrogant and ignorant bitch a lesson; daring to hit her was courting death.
In this desolate wilderness, it's perfectly normal for a few snakes to get into a house.
Anyway, the investigation won't trace it back to me.
Let's see if my brother will still be obsessed with her after that bitch is disfigured.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She could already imagine how helpless Ning Yin must be inside.
Shen Jia covered her mouth and couldn't help but chuckle.
The next day, as dawn broke.
Ningyin and Suxin slept until they woke up naturally.
The house is much more comfortable to live in after the renovation.
Not only was there no whistling wind, but even snakes, insects, and rats couldn't get in.
I slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
Su Xin got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Ningyin opened the door after washing up.
A handsome, aloof face suddenly appeared in front of her.
The tall man blocked half of her body, startling Ning Yin.
He took two or three steps back before noticing that the person who came was none other than Li Xuan from last time.
The man was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a slender and tall figure, upright posture, and a sharp aura emanating from his brows and eyes.
The rising sun shone on his profile, highlighting his handsome features even more.
