Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 40 Come to Apologize

Yang Jianwu knew that he liked to target people's sore spots when he hit them, and he was drunk again last night, so he should still go and take a look. What if he really hurt someone? "Alright, I also need to apologize to Young Master Nan. Your Highness, please lead the way."

Mo Ye, concerned for his brother, agreed and led the way. As they walked, he briefly explained the layout of the Prince's mansion to Yang Jianwu. Knowing that Yang Jianwu wanted a unique place, he made it clear when introducing the inner courtyard, "This is the inner courtyard, it's all empty. I have no concubines, no maids, it's completely clean."

Yang Jianwu stumbled, thinking to herself, "What does this have to do with me? I'm not checking household registrations, do I need to be so explicit?" She nodded and said "Mmm" as her response.

Mo Ye felt a little disappointed. Did Xiao Wu'er not have any feelings for him? He had made it very clear that she didn't care at all... The road of unrequited love is truly bitter.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Jing Nan's cry of pain, "Ouch, it hurts so much! Be gentle, be gentle. Ah... yes... put some more ointment on my waist."

Yang Jianwu could tell from Jing Nan's voice that he was still in good spirits that his injuries were probably not serious, and he was just suffering a little.

"Jingnan, Xiaowu'er has come to see you." Mo Ye called out to remind Jingnan, who was standing outside, that he was worried Jingnan wasn't dressed properly.

"Who did you say?" Jing Nan was too preoccupied with the pain to hear clearly.

Mo Ye repeated, "Xiao Wu'er, Yang Jianwu."

"Ah, why is that female demon here?" Jing Nan is now filled with dread about Yang Jianwu; this woman is too terrifying.

Yang Jianwu was speechless. It seemed he had scared the man half to death... Sigh... Clearing his throat, he said, "Young Master Nan, I'm here to apologize. Let me go in and take your pulse first."

Jing Nan didn't believe it, but Mo Ye had already told him last night that Yang Jian was Yang Jianwu, which meant that Yang Jianwu's medical skills were already very good, and that his pain was thanks to her. Maybe only she could relieve his pain. Of course, he also had to give his brother face.

Yang Jianwu had a servant bring the man in and dismissed everyone else. Without wasting any time, she went directly to the bedside, took Jing Nan's hand, and carefully checked his pulse to confirm that there were no internal injuries. She then took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve. "Young Master Nan has no internal injuries. Just apply this medicine to the surface pain."

Hongyun took the medicine, and Yang Jianwu retreated to the outer room. Mo Ye took the opportunity to help lower the curtain, as he didn't want Xiaowu'er to see another man naked. Yang Jianwu noticed Mo Ye peeking inside from time to time and assumed he was concerned about Jing Nan. "Your Highness, don't worry, Young Master Nan is fine."

Mo Ye smiled and replied, "Of course I feel at ease with you here."

Yang Jianwu smiled but did not answer. They had all witnessed her medical skills, and she needed to find an opportunity to tell them about them, so as not to leak it out.

The moment the ointment touched his skin, its cooling sensation covered all the pain, and he could even find the pain himself. "It's amazing." Jing Nan seemed to see Xiao Qianqian waving at him again.

After the medicine was applied, Hongyun pulled back the curtain from the inside, and Jingnan, dressed neatly, came out. Yang Jianwu looked him up and down; he looked presentable.

Jing Nan used the medicine Yang Jianwu brought, and his pain subsided, but he was still a little scared. After all, she had managed to knock down both Mo Ye and Mo Yu at the same time, and he couldn't even beat Mo Ye and Mo Yu...

As soon as Yang Jianwu stepped forward, Jing Nan immediately took a step back... Yang Jianwu also stopped moving forward, curtsied, and said, "I apologize, Young Master Nan. I drank too much last night and accidentally hurt you. I have come to apologize today."

"How did you know I was here? You didn't go to my house, did you?" Jing Nan had hidden in the Prince Ning's mansion because he didn't want his family to know about the beating.

Yang Jianwu thought of what Consort Qi had said: Jing Nan was concerned about his reputation and would go to the Ning Prince's Mansion even when he was injured. Even if he wasn't at the Ning Prince's Mansion, he would never go home. Mo Ye must know his whereabouts, so coming directly to the Ning Prince's Mansion would be the right thing to do.

"Consort Qi said that His Highness Prince Ning must know where you are, so I came to Prince Ning's residence first, and it just so happens that you are here."

Jing Nan was relieved. "Oh, that's good, that's good."

"Come sit here," Mo Ye said, inviting the two of them to sit down. In reality, he was worried that Yang Jianwu would leave immediately after apologizing, so he wanted to keep her a little longer.

Yang Jianwu instructed Hongyun to serve tea and snacks. Remembering her purpose, she placed the food box on the table and opened the first layer. "Guard Hongyun, just serve tea. I brought some snacks with me, so that His Highness Prince Ning and Young Master Nan can have a taste."

Yang Jianwu's liniment was effective, and Jing Nan felt perfectly fine. His eyes lit up when he saw the pastries on display.

Before Mo Ye could even touch it, she picked up a cream puff and tasted it herself. It was sweet but not cloying, and the crispy outer layer left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. What was inside? It was white, soft, smooth, and had a rich, lingering aroma, leaving her taste buds with a perfect feeling of being carefully pampered.

"What is this? It's so delicious! This is the first time I've ever tasted this white layer inside. Mo Ye, you should try some too." It's amazing that Jing Nan could still think of his brother amidst the exquisite temptation.

Mo Ye picked up a piece to try and was pleasantly surprised.

Yang Jianwu looked at the two of them, who seemed completely unaccustomed to the world, and said, "Didn't you two go to Yunzhi? How come you've never even seen cream before..."

Jingnan put aside all his grudges because of a pastry. Thinking back to when he went to Yun, he realized that there really was such a white thing, which should be sold in pastry shops. "I think I've seen it before, but most men don't like sweets, so I didn't try it."

"You didn't eat any? You're missing out! This is called cream, and one bite is incredibly comforting." Yang Jianwu said, picking up a cream puff and putting it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in enjoyment.

Jingnan picked up another piece and savored the taste of the cream. Its sweet and smooth texture would surely be popular with women in the capital.

Jing Nan rubbed his hands together. "Ahem~ Miss Yang, have you ever considered opening a dessert shop in the capital?" Before Yang Jianwu could speak, he hurriedly added, "And the hot pot we had last night, could you sell me the recipe? I'll definitely offer a reasonable price."

Yang Jianwu was not in a hurry at all, and slowly sipped her tea.

Jing Nan looked at Yang Jianwu's leisurely appearance, winked at Mo Ye, and said, "Brother, say something! Who am I making money for?"

Mo Ye received Jing Nan's signal and was about to speak when Yang Jianwu said, "The hot pot recipe is not for sale."

Jing Nan's face fell instantly, and then Yang Jianwu continued, "We can cooperate. I'll provide the formula, and we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

"Isn't a 50/50 split too much? I'm the one who provided the money and personnel, and I also provided the business location." Jing Nan, with his shrewd business sense, started to bargain. "A 30/70 split is more reasonable."

"What do you think of these snacks, Young Master Nan?" Yang Jianwu stopped discussing the hot pot and jumped straight to the snacks.

Jing Nan was puzzled. "These pastries are undoubtedly excellent. If they could be sold to the public, they would surely be a huge success."
