The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 340 I hope the Marquis’s reward will be worth the effort

Mu Rong's old wounds were about to burst open. He thought Shu Qing would have some solution, but he didn't expect that he only had a bottle of painkillers.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Shu Qing had no choice but to explain, "My Lord, you don't know. Your current condition is due to an overdose of tonics. However, the tonics are non-toxic, so there's no way to remove them. With time, the effects of the tonics will wear off and the pain will naturally subside. However, this time, the tonics and toxicity are clashing, and the attack on your old injuries is no less severe than a second injury... The pain is unbearable for ordinary people. You're not feeling it right now because I'm suppressing it with silver needles. If I were to remove the needles, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"That's fine." Mu Rong didn't care about any of this. He was only concerned with one thing: "When will this state of mind of mine be resolved?" "Once the tonic's properties have been eliminated, the cold poison will have nowhere to resist and will naturally resolve itself."

"When will the medicinal properties be eliminated?"

"Based on the Marquis' previous usage... at least two to three months, at most half a year."

Mu Rong: "..."

In less than half a month, he will marry the girl he has been thinking about.

But how could he get close to her when she looked so terrifying?!

Shu Qing was a married man with children, so how could he not see Mu Rong's worries? He cleared his throat:

"Forgive me for being blunt, but if you abuse drugs again during this period, even just one pill... I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to even get on the horse and get married. What else can you do..."

A hint of chill appeared on Mu Rong's cheeks, and Shu Qing had no choice but to shut up, muttering in his heart: What's the point of talking about a wedding night! This is the consequence of not following the doctor's advice - even if you marry your sweetheart, you still have to bite the bullet and become a monk!

When Shu Qing writes a book in the future, he will definitely include this case in the book to warn all those who do not follow medical advice.

After calming down his anxiety, Mu Rong replied, "I understand."

Seeing his complexion gradually returning to normal, Shu Qing stood up and said, "It's almost noon now. I'm only here to check your pulse, sir. I shouldn't have stayed so long. sir, please take the painkillers first. I'm going to remove the needles for you."

"No, please, sir."

He didn't take any medicine when he was seriously injured, let alone now?

But when he finished speaking, he saw Shu Qing sitting back down with his arms folded, as if to say, "Don't argue with me..."

So he had to unscrew the porcelain bottle, pour out a pill and swallow it.

Shu Qing didn't even move: "Two pills." Mu Rong had no choice but to take another one.

Shu Qing was satisfied. He stood up and first removed the silver needles that were used to suppress the cold poison in Mu Rong's body, and then removed the silver needles that were used to relieve his pain.

He could see with his own eyes that veins were gradually popping up on Mu Rong's head and body.

The man who looked normal just now was now pale and weak, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Every inch of my skin was trembling and beads of sweat the size of beans were oozing out.

Even with painkillers, the torture was no better than the bone-gnawing pain.

Shu Qing turned his head away and didn't look at Mu Rong's embarrassed look.

I just hope that his future gains will be worthy of his current efforts.

……

As the wedding date approached, the visits between the Marquis' Mansion and Zhuxiang Yayuan became more frequent.

Chief Clerk Mu Yi and Deputy General Mu Ai were eager to make five or six trips back and forth a day! Not only did they inquire about Xu Rongrong's preferences and help Madam Xiao take stock of the personnel to be brought to the Marquis's Mansion, they also learned the preferences of several maids and servants in the mansion and brought drafts of their residences in advance to solicit their opinions.

Seeing that the Marquis' Mansion attached so much importance to it, everyone in Zhuxiang Yayuan was naturally very happy.

However, people from the Marquis' Mansion came here to report every day, but there was no sign of Mu Rong.

"My Lord Marquis, you haven't been here for five or six days, right?" Luo Shu chatted.

Nanny Xiao smiled and said, "The county lady will soon be marrying into the Marquis's mansion. According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, unmarried men and women cannot easily meet before marriage. Is it strange that the Marquis is not able to come?"

"Oh." Luo Shu nodded without thinking much about it.

Xu Rongrong, beside her, unconsciously fiddled with the small box in her hands: Would he... be the kind of person who would abide by such rules? The man who had sneaked into Zhuxiang Yayuan late at night, abducted her out of the house to discuss how to plot for the throne for Prince Ning; the man who had allowed her to get drunk on the street late at night... would he abide by the rules?

She didn't believe it.

However, compared to the current doubts, she has something more important to do.

She took out a copy of the contract from the small box and took Luo Shu to the clinic.

She was going to find Luo Xiaoshi.

What he held in his hand was a copy of the deed to the music studio in Pinyuefang.

Her arrival surprised and delighted Luo Xiao.

The Luo mother and daughter had recovered from their illness long ago, but because they had nowhere to stay in the capital, they continued to live in the backyard of the clinic.

Although Mr. Shu never despised them, and they were doing their best to do what they could, they were still guests after all... What's more, Mr. Shu and she were a widower and a widow with a daughter, and living under the same roof for a long time, it was inevitable that some gossip would spread.

Although she didn't care about these things, what about Mr. Shu... He is now a well-known doctor in Beijing, and his character and appearance are both outstanding among his peers. These days, she also saw some women in luxurious clothes coming to the clinic for consultation, all of whom were talking about minor illnesses such as coughs and colds, but they kept looking at Mr. Shu while talking.

After all, they were secretly seeing each other under the guise of medical consultation.

If they continued to live in the clinic, it would certainly delay Mr. Shu's care...

But if they weren't here, where else could they settle down? She wasn't afraid of hardship, but Luo Yuqi was still young, and she couldn't let her daughter follow her around, starving and cold without support.

Moreover, Mr. Shu had disappeared after finishing his work at the clinic these past few days, not even returning to the backyard late at night. This made Luo Xiao even more uneasy!

Just when I was feeling worried, the county lady came...

Not only did he come to see her, he even asked her to run the music hall.

The flood in the south of the Yangtze River destroyed her music hall, and her pipa was taken away after she came to the capital. She thought she would never have the chance to play music again in her life, but she didn't expect that the county lady would give her such a big gift!

"How can the county lady do this? I can only play a few songs, how can I run it? The music house in Yuzhou City was also managed by my late husband. I am really scared that the county lady is entrusting this music house to me!" Luo Xiao was panicked and at a loss.

Xu Rongrong smiled faintly and took Luo Xiao's hand. "Madam Luo, please don't be so hasty to refuse. The capital is different from other places. A dance music house relies entirely on musical talent. Madam Luo's music is a masterpiece in Yuzhou City, and I'm sure it would be top-notch in the capital. You don't have to worry about the management. Besides..." She then told Luo Xiao about her intention to go into business, to gather information about the capital among the powerful, and to understand the preferences of the people. In short, this music house was ostensibly a place for Xu Rongrong to provide her with shelter, but in reality, it was a place for her to gather information for Xu Rongrong.

Xu Rongrong's reason made it almost impossible for Luo Xiao to refuse.

As for Luo Xiaoshi, the county lady had saved her life and the lives of the people of Yuzhou, given her a place to stay in the capital, and given her enough dignity and face. Now, she was allowing her to run the music hall she had always dreamed of...

How could the meticulous Luo Xiao not see that what the county lord said just now was just to make her feel at ease to accept it?

Luo Xiao, who was kicked out of her home by her relatives and trapped in the Guandi Temple waiting to die without shedding a tear, was now in tears.

She pulled Luo Yuqi to her feet and bowed deeply to Xu Rongrong: "Thank you, County Lady! From now on, you will be our host."

"Okay." Xu Rongrong agreed with a smile.
