Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Le Xingxi looked at Zhongtian, her heart filled with sorrow. She looked at Zhongniang, she really didn't want to leave. The time she spent with Zhongtian, even in hardship, was full of joy.

But he knew he couldn't be willful. If he didn't go back to get treatment, after a while, the person beside Zhongniang wouldn't be a living person, but his corpse.

He took Zhongtian's hand and said, "Zhongniang, I'm going back now. I'll be waiting for you."

Zhongtian carefully examined Le Xingxi. His face was ashen, the sign of weakness from a long-term illness. She suddenly slapped herself. Her negligence had allowed Le Xingxi's health to deteriorate to this extent.

Xia Jin'an, standing beside him, looked at Zhong Tian's slightly swollen face with heartache, without saying a word.

Zhongtian held Le Xingxi's hand, speechless, but her eyes were full of guilt. He wanted to apologize to Le Xingxi, saying that she was incompetent and that she had brought Le Xingxi here healthy, but she had left with a body full of illness.

Le Xingxi looked at Zhong Tian. He understood Zhong Niang. Looking into Zhong Tian's eyes, he said sincerely, "Zhong Niang, I have never regretted it."

With parting imminent, Le Xingxi boarded the carriage.

Just then, the man sent by General Yue coldly looked at Zhong Tian, ​​drew his sword from his waist, and pointed it directly at Zhong Tian's chest: "By order of General Yue, we want your head."

How terrified General Yue was when he went up the mountain to look for Yue Xingxi and found no one there, and how furious he was when he heard that Yue Xingxi had gone to look for Zhongtian.

It was this shrewd, mercenary businesswoman, Nakata, who seduced her obedient son, causing him to do such a foolish thing. Before the truth is exposed, and to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Nakata must die.

She dispatched her trusted confidante, Li Yue, a ruthless man who would execute her orders flawlessly.

However, as Li Yue drew her sword, she felt her whole body go limp. Her vision blurred, and her hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

Xia Jin'an stood in front of Li Yue, her beautiful eyes filled with malice, and her tone as cold as winter snow: "If you want to kill Zhong Niang, then I'll kill you first."

Zhongtian stopped Xia Jin'an.

Xia Jin'an took a step back, understanding that the person before her still needed to safely escort Le Xingxi back to the capital. Xia Jin'an reluctantly gave her the antidote.

Le Xingxi stepped out of the carriage with its cold gaze, looked at Li Yue, and said coldly, "Guard Li, depart immediately. I will personally explain to my mother that if you harbor any further ill intentions, I will not return. There is nothing wrong with living and dying with Zhongniang."

Le Xingxi's threat clearly had an effect. Li Yue sat in the front of the carriage, picked up the whip, and the carriage slowly drove away.

As darkness fell, the setting sun shone on the carriage and onto the face of Le Xingxi, who kept turning back. Tears slowly slid down his face, falling to the ground and into Zhong Tian's heart.

Her heart was filled with unease and sorrow.

She looked at Xia Jin'an, and Xia Jin'an was looking at her too. Xia Jin'an reached out and took Zhong Tian's hand, and they slowly returned to Xia Jin'an's room.

Zhong Tian's days with Xia Jin'an were leisurely and happy. Xia Jin'an loved to sit under a tree and doze off on a sunny afternoon. While Xia Jin'an treated his injuries, she would slowly tell Zhong Tian his stories from his journey.

On his way to exile, he took pity on a royal physician and saved him. This physician had previously served in the palace but had offended a powerful figure there and was subsequently exiled.

She was very old and was about to die. Xia Jin'an took care of her for a few days. Before he died, the imperial physician gave her a medical book.

Xia Jin'an was a talented person. He studied medicine day and night and learned the skill of healing and saving lives. However, healing and saving lives did not bring Xia Jin'an peace. Instead, it brought her more suffering.

So he began to study poisons. Since medicine and poisons are inseparable, he did quite well in his research on poisons.

Xia Jin'an did not hide anything from Zhong Tian. Zhong Tian looked at Xia Jin'an. The Xia Jin'an of the past was a beautiful fox with pure white fur, which was a treasure coveted by hunters.

This fox is still beautiful today. When he's in a good mood, he might even jump into your arms and act cute. But if you have ill intentions towards him, he will open his fangs and bite your neck off.

Xia Jin'an gently wrote out a prescription for the woman in front of her, but the woman was somewhat trembling with fear. Xia Jin'an, this beautiful and cunning woman, was known in Daming Prefecture for being ruthless and cold-blooded, only recognizing the wooden slips. She had made a great decision before coming here.

But recently, Xia Jin'an looked radiant with happiness, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at the sleeping people next to her.

The woman immediately understood and said sweetly, "Is that your wife? You two look so well-matched."

Xia Jin'an's smile widened. He looked at the woman in front of him and said in a good mood, "I won't take your wooden stick today. Go home and take good care of your injuries."

The woman was still dizzy when she left.

When Zhong Tian was woken up by Xia Jin'an, he was still dazed. When Xia Jin'an called Zhong Tian, ​​she was close to Zhong Tian's ear. Xia Jin'an's lips touched Zhong Tian's ear, and the warm breath she exhaled made Zhong Tian feel a little itchy.

Zhongtian was unable to speak; she could only look at Xia Jin'an with a bewildered expression.

Xia Jin'an felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at Zhong Tian's adorable and innocent expression.

"Zhongniang, get up and change your dressing."

The process of changing the dressing was extremely erotic. The wound on her stomach healed quickly, but the wound on her neck healed very slowly.

Zhongtian raised his head high, like a wounded crane, and Xia Jin'an gently stroked Zhongtian's neck with her fingers.

Xia Jin'an's medicine was spicy and irritating, and Zhong Tian felt some pain in his neck. Xia Jin'an would then lean closer and gently blow on it. Zhong Tian felt that Xia Jin'an was coaxing a child, but Zhong Tian's ears quietly turned red.

The two looked as if they were locked in a passionate kiss.

Such days were both awkward and sweet for Nakata.

A month had passed by the time Zhongtian received the letter from the capital that Le Xingxi had arrived safely and was finally able to speak.

Winter arrived quietly, and snowflakes danced in the air. On a snowy day, Xia Jin'an carefully removed the bandage from Zhong Tian's neck.

Looking at Xia Jin'an, Zhong Tian finally said his first words to her after so long: "Jin'an, it's so good to see you again!"

Xia Jin'an didn't speak. He simply put his arms around Zhong Tian's neck. Zhong Tian's neck was injured, so he didn't dare to use force. But this intimate contact almost brought Xia Jin'an to tears.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, as a servant came to report: "The city lord has arrived."
