Minglong

Chapter 44 Something is wrong

the next day.

Ning'an Street, Lin Family Medical Clinic.

Lin Zisu stood on a small stool and carefully took out the golden plate containing the vermilion pill from the furnace with a pair of tongs. She checked it and found that the temperature was not high enough, so she put it back and continued to control the temperature of the furnace. During this time, she also glanced at the table in the corner.

The beautiful aunt sat upright on a round stool, her waist and hips outlining a curve that made Zi Su envious.

But the charming eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses now showed a distracted look, staring blankly at the autumn scenery outside the window, and had not moved for half an hour.

Ever since she went out the day before yesterday, Lin Wanyi has become like this, as if she had encountered an evil spirit outside.

Lin Zisu guessed that it was related to Master Xie.

She was learning at the academy and saw many of her sisters who were just beginning to fall in love doing the same thing. They would stare blankly in the middle of refining an elixir.

Oh, women...

Lin Zisu shook her head and sighed secretly. She understood her aunt very well in her heart. After all, her aunt had been single for so many years. It was not easy for her to meet someone she liked. If she didn't get married, wouldn't her big white butt be wasted?

Moreover, if Young Master Xie marries into the Lin family, Big Coal Ball will naturally be a dowry. As the eldest daughter, it wouldn't be excessive for her to take Coal Ball away, right?
Thinking about it this way, seeing that her aunt still didn't come back to her senses, Lin Zisu felt a little bored, so she deliberately looked out the window:

"Mr. Xie?!"

wow~
Lin Wanyi, who was sitting on the bench in a daze, suddenly came to her senses when she heard the sound and looked out the window...

What about people?

Realizing she was being teased, Lin Wanyi immediately looked at the mischievous girl with a fierce look in her eyes:

"Zisu!"

“Pfft~haha…”

Lin Zisu covered her stomach and laughed, jokingly saying:
"Aunt, if you really miss me, go find me. I won't laugh at you, and I won't keep you here."

Lin Wanyi has been rescued by Xie Jinhuan all the time recently. Xie Jinhuan is too perfect in every aspect. It is normal for them to subconsciously recall the past and feel that it is normal for them to feel that way.

However, in front of her niece, Lin Wanyi didn't dare to talk about the good and bad of men. She pretended to be serious and stood up and said:

"I'm worried about the patient's health. Xie Jinhuan took the elixir you made the day before yesterday and has been silent ever since. He lives alone. What if something happened at home? I'll go check on him."

Lin Zisu was 100% confident in her craftsmanship. As long as she didn't commit suicide, Xie Jinhuan wouldn't die suddenly. However, she was still very understanding at this time:
"It's a good idea to go and take a look. The pills are enough for seven days. Auntie can take them with her. It's okay if she doesn't come back at night. We can go to the Mid-Autumn Festival together tomorrow."

"How could I not come back? If you keep talking nonsense I'll spank you!"

"Hee~"

……

After giving a few words of instruction, Lin Wanyi neatly packed the seven small porcelain bottles on the table into a wooden box and went out alone.

Ning'an Street is not too far from the Imperial Academy, and it's only a few minutes' walk to Qingquan Lane.

Lin Wanyi took a shortcut through the back alley and passed by the house of County Magistrate Yang halfway. She also saw a pretty lady standing at the door with her hands on her hips, muttering to herself as if she was waiting for her husband.

"Sister Yang?"

"Eh? The girl from the Lin family?!"

The Yang family's sister-in-law immediately spotted the women's friend, Dr. Lin, and hurried over to him:
"Why are you going out alone? The city is in chaos right now. You're so beautiful, what if you get targeted by a demonic bandit?"

I am a witch from the witch cult. When I go out, I never know who will stare at me...

Lin Wanyi thought so in her heart, but responded with a gentle smile on the surface:
"It's just a casual walk. There are neighbors nearby, so Sister Yang doesn't need to worry."

Sister-in-law Yang hugged her arm and pulled her into the house, looking at the box in Lin Wanyi's hand halfway:

"Are you going to deliver medicine to the lady on Wencheng Street? What kind of stuff is this? Is it strong?"

"They are just some common recipes, not what Sister Yang is thinking of..."

"Can you also prescribe common prescriptions?"

"Uh……"

"I heard you prescribed some medicine for Sister Liu a few days ago? I went to visit her yesterday and she looked so radiant, like she'd taken some tonic. What kind of medicine is so potent?"

Seven pills a night...

Lin Wanyi didn't know how to respond, so she casually explained a few words. However, Sister Yang was so enthusiastic that she put her arm around her and chatted for two quarters of an hour. She gradually became more engaged. The topic quickly shifted from prescriptions to gossip about various ladies and young ladies, and which husband had a mistress outside...

……
-
After Li Zixian was arrested yesterday, the government office interrogated him all night and King Dan stayed in the government office all night.

Everyone was working overtime. As a participant in the case, it was not appropriate for Xie Jinhuan to be absent halfway through. After dinner, he returned to the yamen with Mo Mo and others to continue serving as a jury.

As a result, the trial lasted all night.

Li Zixian was extremely stubborn because he knew that if he admitted to being buried alive he would be severely sentenced, so he refused to give in even under severe torture.

Seeing that the case had reached a stalemate, Xie Jinhuan felt that although it was inappropriate to gloat over someone else's misfortune, the pressure on him was indeed much less.

At this time, Xie Jinhuan was walking down the street carrying the already sleeping coal briquettes, holding the "Jinlan Biography" in his hand, earnestly searching for the origins of the ghost daughter-in-law:
"Tongue-to-mouth, lips and teeth licking... or a French kiss, are you sure you don't remember that?"

Ye Hongshang walked beside him, carrying a red umbrella, and shrugged slightly:

"Sister likes men, especially those with delicate skin and tender flesh like you. This is just a fabricated fantasy by the sour scholar, why do you take it seriously?"

In fact, after reading half of the book, Xie Jinhuan also felt that the second female lead did not seem like a ghost wife, and her style was too reserved and conservative.

If she is really a ghost wife, I am afraid that within three chapters she will be able to push Qixia Zhenren down, and in the fifth chapter she will start playing with the fox tail and the two-headed dragon...

In this book, not only are the emotional scenes veiled, there are even no sex scenes...

Ye Hongshang seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He noticed that Xie Jinhuan was frowning secretly and complained:

"This bunch of sour scholars make a living by writing pornographic works, but they still pretend to be literati and cover up their works. If they don't have the courage to expose their bodies, then they should stop wasting people's time by writing these things. Look at how open and frank other people's erotic works are, right~?"

"Not really. A serious book always needs some foreplay. Maybe the latter part will be more exciting..."

Xie Jinhuan was carefully reading the lesbian novel, still trying to find some clues in it. As a result, just as he reached the alley, he suddenly found two women standing outside the Yang family's house.

One of them should be Yang's sister-in-law, who was talking about something vividly.

The other one was a gorgeous girl wearing glasses, with a gossipy expression on her face that said, "Oh~tsk tsk tsk~ there's this thing..."

Xie Jinhuan saw Lin Wanyi holding a medicine box in her arms, and knew that she was here to deliver pills, so he stepped forward quickly:
"Sister-in-law Yang, Doctor Lin."

The Yang family's sister-in-law had naturally heard the man talk about Xie Jinhuan. Seeing him come back, she quickly put away her gossip and bowed gracefully:
"Master Xie is back. Are my husband and father-in-law still at the government office?"

Xie Jinhuan felt that Yang's sister-in-law was quite dignified and quiet, much more reserved than Liu Qingzhi's wife. He approached and bowed:
"The government office is busy with many matters, and the prince has been busy all night. I'm afraid Uncle Yang and Brother Yang won't have time to come back today."

"Oh."

Yang's sister-in-law was already used to her husband not coming home at night. After a few polite words, she walked into the yard in small steps.

Seeing this coquettish sister's elegant and pretentious appearance, Lin Wanyi couldn't help but "tsk tsk tsk~" in her heart, but she also stepped forward and bowed, with an intellectual and elegant demeanor:
"I've already refined a batch of pills. I saw that you didn't come to the clinic to get the medicine yesterday, so I came to check on you."

Xie Jinhuan took the medicine box and looked at it. "There was a case at the government office yesterday, and I went to help out. I was busy all night. Is it okay to be without pills for a day?"

"That's fine, but you can't stop taking medicine often when you're training your body. Remember to always carry your medicine with you."

As Lin Wanyi spoke, she pulled up Xie Jinhuan's hand, held his wrist, and took his pulse to check his physical condition.

After Xie Jinhuan took the medicinal bath, he indeed felt much more energetic and vigorous, because his strength was already at the peak of the fourth level, and he was only one step away from the third level.

However, the fourth grade to the third grade is a big realm. The fourth grade is the peak of flexibility, representing the state of body training where "the waist is bent a hundred times without bones, and the body should be like flowing water." The third grade is the initial stage of spirit and energy, and begins to enter the realm of "controlling energy with spirit."

If one wants to enter the third level, he must first refine his physique to perfection. He will definitely be able to do so after taking the Dragon Blood Pill, but Xie Jinhuan is not sure whether he can break through in advance.

Seeing Lin Wanyi working seriously as a female doctor, Xie Jinhuan thought for a moment and asked:

"Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow. I heard that the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Danyang is very beautiful. Do you want to go and see it?"

?

Are you trying to ask me out? Lin Wanyi blinked and replied hesitantly:
"Are you going?"

"I want to go and have a look, but I've been busy lately and I don't know if I have the time..."

"I don't have time to ask you anything..."

Xie Jinhuan was about to respond when he heard the ghost wife, who was following him like a shadow, remind him in his ear:

"Be careful, there is a bloody evil spirit in the house."
