Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 281 Hoshiro-kun
Shengjing City, Miaoxin Hall.
Since the pulse diagnosis competition that caused a sensation in Shengjing, Miaoxintang became famous and became the leading Chinese medicine practitioner in Beijing.
Today happened to be the day when Master Wuwang was seeing patients. Before dawn, a long queue had formed in front of Miaoxin Hall, filling up the bluestone alley in front of the door.
Xie Qingli was ready and about to see the patient when the door was gently pushed open. Several maids stood outside. One of them stepped forward, bowed, and said softly, "Please wait a moment, sir."
Xie Qingli frowned slightly, wondering if it was another noble lady who came to cause trouble. While he was thinking, he saw the maids escorting a woman in plain clothes into the room.
When Xie Qingli saw the woman's face clearly, she was shocked. Even if she was deliberately disguised, how could she be mistaken? The person before her was clearly Princess Shuhua!
She had been tossing and turning these past two days, racking her brains for ways to get closer to him. Unexpectedly, her enemy showed up at her doorstep. This was truly a godsend.
Princess Shuhua looked up at the rumored hopeless young man and couldn't help but hold her breath. But seeing his beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his cold temperament like a banished immortal, he was more extraordinary than any other handsome man she had ever raised.
Xie Qingli raised her hand to signal, "Madam, please take a seat." She tapped the table with her fingertips and said gently, "Please show me your wrist so I can take your pulse."
Shuhua finally woke up from her dream. Thinking of Xie Lang's sick face, she suddenly felt guilty. Those lovers were just after his beauty, but Xie Lang was the only one she truly loved.
She waved her hands hurriedly: "Sir, you have misunderstood. I came here because my husband is seriously ill."
Xie Qingli's eyes darkened slightly, but his voice was already tinged with a bit of coldness: "Madam, since you have come to seek medical treatment, you should know the rules of this master..."
She looked calm as usual, but a hint of sarcasm rose in her heart. A dignified princess, to thank Jingyuan, had actually lowered herself to the level of an ordinary woman. This truly was a sign of deep affection and loyalty!
"Of course I know," Shuhua interrupted hastily, "My husband is in the carriage outside right now." She looked around and lowered her voice, "He's seriously ill. If I treat him in such a noisy place, I'm afraid... Could you please use your backyard?"
After saying this, she winked at the maid beside her. The maid understood and immediately took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom and gently placed them on the table.
"This is five thousand taels. Please help me, sir." Shuhua raised her lips slightly, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes. No matter how noble and aloof the person in front of her was, he could not escape the sway of gold and silver.
Xie Qingli's eyes flickered slightly, and she had a plan in mind. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Nier, take this lady to the east wing in the backyard."
After Princess Shuhua and her entourage left with Ni'er, Xie Qingli gently called Leng Shuang closer and whispered a few words in her ear. Leng Shuang's eyes flashed, and she obeyed. Xie Qingli then straightened his sleeves and walked slowly towards the backyard.
In the side room, Xie Jingyuan lay quietly on the couch, his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper, and his breathing weak and almost inaudible. Princess Shuhua sat beside the couch, her delicate hand tightly holding his hand, her eyes full of love and care.
Xie Qingli stepped forward and gently placed her hand on Xie Jingyuan's wrist. After a moment, she withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Madam, your husband is unconscious and needs acupuncture. However, my acupuncture method is a secret from my master. Please move to the next room and wait."
A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Shuhua's eyes: "Sir, can you really save him?"
Xie Qingli raised the corners of his lips slightly, but a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes: "I'm about 70% sure, Madam, please go and have a rest." Although his tone was soft, it left no room for doubt.
Shuhua reluctantly left the wing room and moved to the warm room next door. She saw that the room was elegantly decorated, with a pot of tea on the table, and curling tea smoke and a faint fragrance in the air.
She sat down gracefully. The tea's fragrance was so refreshing that it made her throat dry. She raised her hand slightly and whispered to the maid beside her, "Let's test it."
The maid understood and immediately pulled a silver needle from her sleeve and dipped it into the tea. The needle was as bright and clear as before, with no discernible color. Following the custom, she drank a cup first, then waited a moment, her expression returning to normal. Only then did Shuhua pick up the teacup and take a sip.
As the tea went down my throat, I felt a sweetness spreading from the tip of my tongue, refreshing like drinking nectar, and even the depression in my heart was relieved a little.
Just as the teacup fell, a weak cough came from the next room, as if Xie Jingyuan had woken up.
Shuhua's eyes lit up with joy. Just as she was about to head to the next room, she heard Mr. Wuwang exclaim in surprise, "Is it you?"
Were these two old acquaintances? Shuhua's heart tightened. Could it be that her identity had been exposed? She lightly stepped against the wall, holding her breath and concentrating, and could clearly hear the conversation next door.
"Miracle doctor?" Xie Jingyuan's voice was filled with the bewilderment of someone who had just woken from a long illness. "Why... am I here?"
Young Master Wuwang said with a hint of amusement, "You were unconscious, and it was your wife who sent you here for treatment."
"Madam?" Xie Jingyuan murmured in a low voice, with hesitation between his brows.
Young Master Wuwang suddenly covered his lips with his hands and chuckled, saying mischievously, "Why? Could it be that this lady isn't the legitimate wife of the high-ranking family you mentioned earlier, but... your childhood sweetheart, the concubine with whom you were very close?"
Without waiting for Xie Jingyuan to answer, she continued, "Seeing how deeply she loves you, I guess it must be that childhood sweetheart? Have you... reunited?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Xie Jingyuan denied hastily, his voice a little panicked. "Even though...even though I've had a relationship with her for over a decade...but after she did something like that, we've severed all ties!"
When Shuhua heard this, her chest heaved violently. How dare Xie Jingyuan bully her like this!
On the day they first met, she took the initiative to show her affection, but he acted cold and distant, saying things like, "This heart is only big enough for one person." But in recent years, stories about him and Jiang Muxue being "a lifelong couple" were everywhere in Beijing, which made her believe his lies. She began to envy Jiang Muxue and secretly plotted to destroy that bitch and replace her.
As for that woman... she had long heard that Xie Jingyuan had personally brought a woman into his mansion, in full view of the public. She wasn't without suspicions, and had specifically inquired about the matter. Xie Jingyuan had simply explained that she was merely a distant cousin, who had come to seek refuge with him after her family fell on hard times. His straightforward demeanor immediately dispelled her suspicions...
Now I know, what is the difference between Xie Jingyuan and those unfaithful men who have three wives and four concubines?
Shuhua gritted her teeth, her knuckles turning white, and every word of the conversation next door came into her ears.
"This is the prescription for your foot injury. Take the medicine according to the prescription." The gentle voice of Mr. Wuwang came.
After a moment of silence, Xie Jingyuan hesitated and said, "Divine Doctor, can you help me see if the poison in my body can be removed?"
"Have you had sex while taking the medicine?"
"No, not even once." Xie Jingyuan answered firmly.
Shuhua's body swayed, and she barely managed to stand by holding onto the wall. So that's how it was! All those times under the moonlight, he had tried to resist her approach, saying things like "I cherish you" and "I don't want to be rude." But it was all lies!
"Take it for another two months, and the toxins will be completely cleared." The voice of Mr. Wuwang sounded again: "This is the adjusted prescription. Remember not to have sex while taking the medicine."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely remember this." Xie Jingyuan agreed repeatedly, but suddenly said embarrassedly, "It's just that I was in a hurry today and didn't bring any money..."
"That's all right." Young Master Wuwang chuckled and said gently, "Your wife has already paid." He turned around and ordered, "Nier, go and ask your wife to come over..."
