The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

He chuckled, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Madam's affectionate confession makes my sick body feel a little spring-like, but..."

He changed the subject and pretended to be serious.

"It's late at night and everyone is asleep. Madam, it would be better for you to be serious in this situation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing was not annoyed, but smiled even more brightly.

She took light steps and approached Lu Shengyuan.

"My husband, your words are wrong. Why should husband and wife be bound by worldly etiquette?"

After saying that, she lightly tapped Lu Shengyuan's chest with her fingertips, her eyes showing both mischief and affection.

Lu Shengyuan pretended to be calm, trying to hide the turmoil in his heart.

However, the tips of his ears, which had inadvertently turned red, revealed his shyness and discomfort.

He coughed lightly a few times, each time as if to expel the throbbing in his heart and the weakness in his body, but it only added a bit of endearing aura.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing's worries grew even more intense. She hurried forward and gently stroked Lu Shengyuan's back, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Husband, your body..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Wanqing interrupted him.

"It's nothing, just a cold. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

As the night deepened, moonlight streamed through the window lattice, shining onto Lin Wanqing's worried face.

She looked at Lu Shengyuan's pale face, which was trying to force a smile, and felt mixed emotions.

She bit her lower lip lightly, and finally couldn't help but speak worriedly: "Husband, your body...how can I not worry?"

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly, and that smile contained an imperceptible bitterness and relief.

"You and I both know that my illness is a fate unto me, and it is beyond human control. I am deeply comforted by your concern, but please do not worry too much."

His words were gentle but with a hint of determination, as if he was drawing a line for himself and for her.

Lin Wanqing stared at Lu Shengyuan, her eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.

"My dear, although I am a woman, I do not want to sit by and watch you suffer from illness. There are many extraordinary people in the world. I will definitely seek out famous doctors and find a glimmer of hope."

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He stared at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of emotion.

"Wanqing, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Wanqing gently covered his lips.

"My dear husband, please don't say anything. You are the one I have chosen. How can I watch you suffer so deeply from illness and remain indifferent?"

Lin Wanqing's gaze was firm and gentle, as if it was an invisible force supporting each other.

Lu Shengyuan was deeply moved. He held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, tears in his eyes.

"Wanqing, thank you."

The night deepened, but the two people's hearts were closely connected.

The moonlight is like water, quietly sprinkling on the window lattice, mottled and colorful, like bits of silver.

"It's late, you should rest and have a good rest. You still have many things to deal with tomorrow."

After saying that, he patted the edge of the bed gently, motioning her to lie down.

Although Lin Wanqing was worried, he also knew that he couldn't be too much of a burden.

So she lay down as she was told, looking at him with eyes full of reluctance.

When Lin Wanqing's breathing gradually stabilized, Lu Shengyuan quietly stood up, put on his coat, and walked into the night.

The guards were already waiting by the side.

Seeing him come out, he whispered, "Sir, the black-clad man's whereabouts are mysterious and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly.

"Continue investigating, but be careful not to disturb anyone in the mansion."

The guards retreated in response, their figures quickly disappearing into the night.

Lu Shengyuan stood alone in the corridor, the night stretched his figure out, revealing a sense of loneliness and tenacity.

He looked into the night sky, his eyes as deep as the stars, and had already planned the next chess game in his mind.

The next morning, when Lin Wanqing woke up, Lu Shengyuan was no longer by her side.

She got up and washed, thinking about how to find a famous doctor for Lu Shengyuan.

While he was thinking, the maid came to report that a guest had arrived.

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly and walked to the front hall in confusion, only to see an old man with an immortal look sitting in the hall sipping tea.

When the old man saw her coming, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Madam, I come here uninvited. I hope you won't mind."

Although Lin Wanqing was confused, he returned the greeting politely.

"You are too kind, old sir. I just wonder what advice you have for me on this trip?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at her with deep eyes.

"I heard that Lord Lu was unwell, so I came to visit him."

Lin Wanqing's heart moved when he heard this.

"Who is the old gentleman?"

"I am a traveling doctor. Although my medical skills are not very good, I am willing to do my best to help Lord Lu."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes. She quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Mr. Old Master is so kind. I thank you on behalf of my husband."

After saying that, she personally led the old man and took him to Lu Shengyuan's bedroom.

Lu Shengyuan was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in his hand, with a sickly pale look between his brows.

When he saw Lin Wanqing coming in with an old man, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Wanqing, who is this?"

Lin Wanqing hurried forward and explained the old man's identity and purpose to him.

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into gratitude.

"So it's the miracle doctor who has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope the miracle doctor won't blame me."

The old man waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

"Lord Lu, you are too kind. I am just a commoner and do not deserve such a generous gift."

After saying that, he took a step forward and looked at Lu Shengyuan carefully.

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan smiled and let him look at him, but he was secretly wondering about the old man's origins.

The old man looked at him for a moment, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Lu's poison has penetrated deep into his lungs, and it's really not easy to cure it completely."

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, his heart sank, but he still kept smiling.

"What the miracle doctor said is absolutely true. I wonder if he has any miraculous healing technique to restore youth?"

The old man pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Although a radical cure is difficult, there are ways to prolong life. It just takes some time and effort."

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Whatever miraculous remedy the doctor has, feel free to tell me."

The old man smiled slightly, took out a prescription from his arms and handed it to Lu Shengyuan.

"Although the herbs in this prescription are rare, they are not impossible to find. It just takes some effort."

Lu Shengyuan took the prescription, took a careful look at it, and then handed it to Lin Wanqing.

"Wanqing, quickly go and prepare the herbs."

Lin Wanqing took the prescription and hurried away.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her back and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He turned to look at the old man, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Miraculous doctor, I am deeply grateful to you."

The old man waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do so.

"Lord Lu is a pillar of the country. It is a blessing for me to be able to save Lord Lu's life."

After saying this, he stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Wanqing looked at the old man's departing back, and the anxiety in her heart became increasingly difficult to suppress.

She stepped forward lightly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"Old sir, may I ask if there is a way to eradicate this poison?"

Hearing this, the old man turned around and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, as if he could see through her thoughts.

"Madam, please don't worry. Although I am not strong enough, my master has superb medical skills, rarely seen in the world. He will be traveling here soon and may be able to solve this problem."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, he was stunned at first, and then a look of disbelief and surprise flashed in his eyes.

"He's actually Senior Su Yao's disciple! I... I never thought..."

She murmured to herself, the gratitude and hope surging in her heart intertwined into a warm ocean.
