Jiang Yu held a banknote in one hand, examined it carefully for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "No."
Lin Shuning breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he felt relieved, he felt his legs go weak.
She quickly took the banknote back from Jiang Yu and stuffed it into the purse around her waist.
She silently prayed for the Buddha's blessing in her heart, and when she had the chance to go to a temple in the future, she would burn incense to all the gods and Buddhas in the eight directions.
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Money is so important to you?"
"Nonsense," Lin Shuning glanced at him, "Do you think I am as wealthy as you and can rival a country?"
Jiang Yu stopped talking.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Lin Shuning pulled out all the silver needles on his back, put them away, and said, "There is still one more acupuncture, but it doesn't matter. You must take the medicine I prescribed for you on time. After taking it for a full month, you can stop taking the medicine."
"This king... has remembered it." Jiang Yu spoke lightly and stood up suddenly.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Lin Shuning even felt that the tip of her nose had brushed against the man's chest. Her face turned red instantly. She covered her nose and took a step back. However, because she was upset, she lost her balance and fell backwards with a scream.
Damn it, this is terrible, beauty is really degrading! Lin Shuning closed his eyes tightly.
The next second, her waist was clamped by a pair of big hands, and she fell into a hot embrace with a pair of long arms.
"How can you be so careless?" A magnetic and hoarse voice sounded above my head.
Lin Shuning raised her eyes and met a pair of dark eyes filled with light. Emotions were brewing in those eyes that she could not understand and dared not investigate.
She quickly struggled out of Jiang Yu's arms, took two steps back, calmed herself down, and pretended to be nothing: "Why did you get up so suddenly without telling me first?"
Jiang Yu looked apologetic, but the corners of his lips curled up in an imperceptible arc: "My legs are numb, so I thought of getting up and moving around."
Lin Shuning smiled awkwardly and pointed at the sky outside: "I should go back. Tomorrow... have a safe trip."
"Thank you." Jiang Yu looked at her with a smile and thought she was very cute when she was awkward.
Lin Shuning waved at him vigorously and ran out hurriedly.
She ran out in a hurry, breathing in the fresh air outside in big gulps, her face burning as if it was roasted by fire.
She fanned herself with her hands, trying to cool herself down a little.
What's wrong with her and why does she react like this?
Why when she found out that Jiang Yu was not feeling well, her mind went blank and an unprecedented tension swept over her body?
Why, when she heard Jiang Yu say that he was leaving the capital, she felt such an overwhelming sense of loss and emptiness that she could hardly breathe.
Why was it that whenever Jiang Yu approached her, her heart would always beat uncontrollably and irregularly?
Lin Shuning's heart was filled with alarm. Could it be that she was really...
Her fingers unconsciously dug into the rough tree trunk beside her. The sharp bark pierced into her fingers, and large, round beads of blood immediately rolled out from her jade-like fingertips, falling to the ground in an instant and soaking into the dark soil.
The tingling pain at the fingertips made Lin Shuning's eyes clear instantly.
She took a deep breath and patted her cheeks hard with both hands.
It must be that Jiang Yu, the big money sponsor, passed away suddenly. The loss of both KPI and abdominal muscles was too great a blow to her.
As for arrhythmia, needless to say, beauty can harm one's body!
Yes, that must be the case!
Lin Shuning stood under the only blooming osmanthus tree in the courtyard and calmed himself down for a long time before returning to the Shangshu Mansion. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the villa, he saw an uninvited guest.
Wang was followed by a group of maids, who were walking towards her.
Today she was wearing a dark green Shuyang brocade skirt decorated with flowers, a light red shawl around her neck, jade hairpins on both sides of her hair, and a delicate hand warmer in her hands. From a distance, she looked very noble and even her sarcastic face looked a bit more virtuous.
Lin Shuning frowned slightly.
In the blink of an eye, Wang was already standing in front of her, covering her nose with a handkerchief, revealing a somewhat disgusted expression: "You are an unmarried girl after all, and you come back so late every day. Do you care about your own reputation and the reputation of the Shangshu Mansion?
I don't care if you secretly meet your lover, but you'd better keep it secret and don't let it get out and affect your two sisters."
Lin Shuning was so angry that she laughed: "Who is secretly meeting with her lover in the middle of the night? Don't you know best?"
Wang's face froze, and she immediately became angry and said, "Why are you still bringing up something that has already happened?"
She took out a piece of thin paper from her sleeve and said proudly, "This is your food, clothing and expenses in the Shangshu Mansion over the years. It is all clearly written on it. Take a look."
Lian Er heard the noise and ran out of the yard, snatched it away and handed it to Lin Shuning: "Miss."
Lin Shuning glanced down and sneered, "Ten taels of silver for daily food. I'm afraid that my daily food is enough to feed everyone in the mansion for seven days."
"How should I know? I didn't make this list. That bitch He asked me to give it to you." Wang rolled her eyes and stroked the clothes lovingly.
In the past few days, the noble ladies in the capital had given her many gifts in order to curry her favor, so many that the table could not hold them all. This Shuyang brocade was one of them.
She never thought that the cloth that she had begged Lin Cheng for a long time but failed to get was actually obtained with the help of the bitch she hated the most. When she thought of this, she felt sick all over and wished she could eat Lin Shuning's flesh and drink her blood, and exchange all these honors for Lin Rouan.
Looking at Wang's vicious eyes, Lin Shuning sneered: "She asked you to send it, and you sent it? You are really obedient. You are probably the only one in history who helps concubines bully her own daughter."
Wang couldn't help but retort: "What nonsense! How could I help that bitch bully my daughter?"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Shuning keenly caught something, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
