After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Time flies like water.

Lu Jiangnian and his group headed towards southern Xinjiang. They didn't need to rush and enjoyed themselves very much every day.

They would occasionally encounter patients along the way, and Yuan Wanru or Su Shaodong would treat them on the spot.

Xuanhuang, however, showed little interest in this; he preferred to bury himself in his medicine bottles and jars, studying pharmacology.

However, practicing medicine and helping others can sometimes bring troubles.

One day, they stayed at an inn in a small town.

Not long after we settled in, we heard a commotion at the inn.

It turned out that an elderly lady who had stayed at the inn around the same time as them had suddenly developed a severe headache and was in unbearable pain. They had already called the only doctor in town.

The doctor had no good solution, and the old lady was wailing in pain, while her son was extremely anxious.

Upon seeing this, Su Shaodong and Yuan Wanru exchanged a glance and said, "Let's go take a look."

They walked over and saw that the old lady was in great pain. Without saying a word, Yuan Wanru took out her silver needles, calmed her mind, and applied acupuncture to relieve her pain.

After a few needles, the old lady's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little, and her groans subsided.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This should have been a good thing.

But Lu Jiangnian noticed that the old lady's son, a bright-eyed young man, had been staring at his wife ever since Yuan Wanru started giving her acupuncture.

They haven't restrained themselves at all.

Lu Jiangnian watched coldly, a nameless rage suddenly rising in his heart, and his face instantly darkened.

"Wife, are you done?"

He deliberately walked out and stood next to Yuan Wanru.

Sure enough, the man's expression darkened.

Yuan Wanru had no idea about any of this. "It shouldn't hurt tonight."

"This lady's headache is likely a chronic condition, and it will probably not be easy for her to recover completely."

"However, I can administer acupuncture twice more, along with herbal decoctions, which will greatly reduce the chances of a relapse."

"Thank you, young lady."

Before the old lady could say anything, the shameless man strode over, putting on a polite air: "My surname is Lin. My family has been in business for generations and is quite wealthy. If you can help my mother cure her chronic illness, I will be eternally grateful."

"It's just my duty as a doctor, no need to be polite, just remember to pay the consultation fee."

Seeing that Young Master Lin still wanted to speak, Lu Jiangnian grabbed Yuan Wanru and left.

"Wife, why don't we let Su Shaodong treat her? We can go somewhere else to have some fun tomorrow?"

Yuan Wanru shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work. Su Shaodong doesn't know this acupuncture technique yet, so I'll have to do it myself."

"This old lady has a kind face, but she is in poor health. She must have become pregnant at an advanced age, and her headaches are related to that."

"I don't know if you noticed, but when we came in, I heard the old lady instruct the servants to buy some hot steamed buns to give to the little beggars we met on the road."

“She’s a kind person, and I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.”

Lu Jiangnian felt frustrated. You meant well, but you ended up attracting a bad romantic prospect.

But seeing his wife completely oblivious, he wouldn't bother mentioning that eyesore.

That night, Lu Jiangnian used all sorts of tricks, and Yuan Wanru was almost melted by his passion.

-

For the next two days, Young Master Lin did not do anything out of line, but his undisguised, admiring gaze made Lu Jiangnian's heart burn with anger. Several times he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to gouge out those eyes!

His face remained dark the entire time, like a fierce beast guarding its prey. Whenever Young Master Lin's eyes drifted over, he would immediately move his body to completely block the other's view. The cold aura emanating from him could freeze a person to death.

Finally, the treatment ended, and Lu Jiangnian felt a sense of relief.

Young Master Lin smiled broadly and directed his servants to bring over a pile of brocade boxes.

"Dr. Jiang's miraculous healing skills saved my mother from danger, and I, Lin, am deeply grateful."

He looked at Yuan Wanru with eager eyes, "This is just a small gift, nothing more than a token of my respect. I'm giving it to Doctor Jiang to play with and pass the time."

When the brocade box was opened, it was filled with dazzling hairpins, ornaments, and gold and silver jewelry.

"The Lin family is quite wealthy, and my mother is very grateful to Doctor Jiang. She would like to invite Doctor Jiang to our home as a guest. Is that alright?"

Lu Jiangnian, unable to bear it any longer, let out a cold laugh: "Put away your vulgar things! My wife is naturally beautiful, why would she need such cumbersome embellishments? Whatever she wants, I will provide with both hands!"

My wife has never liked dressing up, and she has been even more plain-looking this way, only wearing delicate jade hairpins or pearl flowers. This made the frog in the well think that they couldn't afford such things.

Simply ridiculous!

Seeing Lu Jiangnian's firm attitude, Young Master Lin was still unwilling to give up.

Ignoring the murderous glare, he took a deep breath and confessed passionately to Yuan Wanru: "Dr. Jiang! Since that fleeting glimpse, I, Lin, have finally known what it means to fall in love at first sight!"

"Although I know you already have a husband, I cannot suppress my feelings! If I do not speak up today, I fear I will never have another chance!"

He looked like he was ready to risk everything, saying, "I don't care about propriety or shame anymore. I just pray to God for mercy and to grant me a chance!"

After saying that, he turned to Lu Jiangnian and said something astonishing: "Young Master Lu! If Doctor Jiang is willing to change her mind and marry me, I, Lin, am willing to give you my entire fortune! Please be lenient!"

"court death!"

Lu Jiangnian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his long-dormant soft sword was drawn with a clang, its cold light flashing as it pointed directly at Young Master Lin's throat! Su Shaodong, watching with great interest and fearing that the world was not chaotic enough, immediately fanned the flames: "Oh dear, Young Master Lin, don't be afraid! He's just a pretty face, all show and no substance! All looks and no substance!"

"Now I've left my hometown and followed my sworn sister all the way to live with my mother-in-law. A grown man like me has fallen to this state, tsk tsk tsk... I still have to rely on my sworn sister's medical practice to make a living!"

"Tell me, how thick-skinned is he? My sworn sister has suffered so much because of him!"

Yuan Wanru sighed and covered her forehead upon hearing this.

This Su Shaodong really loves to stir up trouble.

Young Master Lin's legs trembled as the cold blade pressed against him, but Su Shaodong's words were so certain, and seeing Yuan Wanru's beauty and kindness, he still held onto a sliver of hope. His lips moved as if he wanted to try again.

Yuan Wanru's pretty face darkened, and she stepped forward, her voice cold: "Young Master Lin, watch your words!"

"My husband has killed at least eight or ten thousand people with his sword! I advise you to immediately abandon this absurd idea!"

Her gaze became exceptionally distant and cold. "Your words and actions today were inappropriate and offended my husband and me. The consultation fee will be settled ten times as an apology to my husband."

Young Master Lin: ...

He stared at the sword's edge so close to his face, then at Yuan Wanru's cold expression, and his thoughts were instantly extinguished by fear.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Hehe, I was just joking, Doctor Jiang, Young Master Lu, please don't take it seriously! It's all a misunderstanding!"

He hurriedly waved his hand and stepped back, saying, "Ten times the consultation fee, have someone bring it over immediately! No questions asked!"

Hearing Yuan Wanru's words, Lu Jiangnian's expression softened considerably.

He put his arm around Yuan Wanru's shoulder, then turned and left without looking at Young Master Lin again.

Young Master Lin wiped away his cold sweat with lingering fear, secretly regretting it.
