Tough Princess : Once Upon A Brothel Chapter 35

Uncle Liu stopped showing the bohemian appearance, and solemnly called Yang Zijin to come and sit down.

Yang Zijin couldn't think of anything else that could attract Uncle Liu and make him calm down in addition to the intractable diseases. Knowing that it must be Mo Shang who had told Uncle Liu about her symptoms, Yang Zijin waved Lu'an and others to leave. It was not because Yang Zijin distrusted Lu'an and others, but it was just because of her ident.i.ty. The timing was not right, so it was better not to let them know. As for Uncle Liu, he knew she was a girl from the moment they met.

Yang Zijin sat next to Uncle Liu and stretched out her right hand. During pulse diagnosis, Uncle Liu frowned constantly. The pulse seemed to be normal. But when he felt it carefully, it was still a little different from ordinary people's pulse. It was hard for a doctor who didn't have a lot of knowledge to find out. If he didn't know lots of intractable diseases, he wouldn't find out.

After finishing the pulse, Uncle Liu asked seriously, “How long has Zijin had the symptoms?”

“It should be more than half a month. In the beginning, the head was only slightly painful. But in recent days, the headache becomes frequent, and every time the symptoms became more and more serious.” Yang Zijin replied.

“When it happens, are you weak? Do you break out in a cold sweat and have a headache continually? After a while, the symptoms disappear immediately and you become normal.” Uncle Liu continued to ask Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin nodded, “It seems that Uncle Liu knows what disease I have.”

“Who is it to be responsible for your daily life?” Uncle Liu asked, looking seriously at Yang Zijin.

Thinking for a while, Yang Zijin said to Uncle Liu with disapproval, “These days, I live in the mansion of Marquis Shuo. By the way, I was injured a few days ago. Marquis Shuo asked Qiao Shu in the mansion to prescribe some tonic for me every day. Qiao Shu also felt my pulse every day. In recent days, I had a bad headache, so I drank some drug she prescribed for me.”

Hearing this, Uncle Liu was shocked. He thought that the problem must be on Qiao Shu. “You are a silly girl. You are still unaware of being poisoned.”

“Poison? Are all my symptoms caused by the development of toxicity? But why can't it be diagnosed?” Yang Zijin asked Uncle Liu blankly.

“As far as I know, you've been poisoned with the Manwei Flower. This poisonous flower is very peculiar. In the early stage of poisoning, it will make people feel weak and headache, but it is difficult to find out the problem. In the later stage, even if it is diagnosed, you are powerless.” Uncle Liu explained to Yang Zijin.

“Uncle Liu, can you solve it?” After hearing Uncle Liu's words, Yang Zijin looked worried. She still had a lot of things to do. If she had something wrong, the girls of the Blossoming Peach would really break up.

Uncle Liu glanced at Yang Zijin. “You are lucky. This time I roamed everywhere. I just found the herbs that could detoxify the poison.”

Hearing Uncle Liu's words, Yang Zijin's finally felt relieved.

“If I came back late, maybe you would die when I saw you again. Now you are living in the mansion of Marquis Shuo. Although the mansion of Marquis Shuo is heavily defended, the thought of people is complicated. You should always guard against the harm others might do to you.” Uncle Liu said to Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin nodded, then looked at Uncle Liu with a smile, “Uncle Liu, you are right. I will be careful.”

“Well, well, well, go to the hospital with me to get the antidote, and get rid of the poison quickly, so as not to make me worried.” Uncle Liu urged Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin held Uncle Liu's arm. “Well, I am sorry. After this, I will have a good drink with uncle.”

“That is more like it.” Uncle Liu said sulkily.

On the way back to the hospital, Yang Zijin asked Uncle Liu about what he had seen and heard while wandering around. Uncle Liu told Yang Zijin about some rare things. Laughing all the way, they came to the hospital.

Seeing Master bring Yang Zijin back, Mo Shang quickly stopped the work and walked forward. He also asked with a worried expression, “Master, can you know what is the disease of young master Yang?”

“You brat, I usually let you study medicine well, but you are always lazy. She didn't get sick. This is a relatively rare poison.” Uncle Liu kicked Mo Shang while he was saying.

Hiding aside, Mo Shang muttered, “Rare poison? No wonder I can't find out!”

Hearing his words, Uncle Liu scolded him angrily, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you're not good at medical skills, and you even find a reason to excuse yourself.”

Mo Shang quickly smiled, “Master, you have excellent medical skills and countless experiences. Naturally, I can't compare with you.”

“Garrulous.” After saying, Uncle Liu ignored Mo Shang.

Uncle Liu took a bunch of herbs from the bag he brought back and sorted them out one by one. Finding the herb that could detoxify the poison, he crushed the herb and made it into pills.

Standing aside, Yang Zijin quietly looked at Uncle Liu and made no noise, for fear of disturbing him. During the whole process, Uncle Liu did it from beginning to end without stopping. His head was covered with sweat. After finishing the work, he took a long breath of relief. Seeing this, Yang Zijin came forward and wiped sweat for Uncle Liu with her sleeves.

Uncle Liu put these pills in a small bottle and instructed Yang Zijin carefully, “Here are seven pills in total. Take one pill every day. You need to take it continuously for seven days, so you can remove all toxins. Remember, it can't be stopped. If you stopped it during the seven days, all efforts would be wasted. There are not so many herbs for you to waste.”

“I see. Uncle Liu, I will take it on time. When I recover, I will get drunk with you.” Yang Zijin replied.

“Okay, I will wait to get drunk with you. Then you should prepare more peach wine.” As soon as Uncle Liu heard that there was wine to drink, he became naughty, different from what he just looked like.

Mo Shang said excitedly, “Master, master, I also want to drink.”

“You are too young to drink. I let you read the herbal cla.s.sic before. Do you finish it?” Uncle Liu asked unhappily.

Bowing his head, Mo Shang said, “I haven't finished it yet.”

“Go to read it immediately. You just play all day.” Uncle Liu scolded him.

After scolding Mo Shang, Uncle Liu said to Yang Zijin with a smile, “Remember to cook more food.”

Feeling wronged, Mo Shang murmured and sat down at the table. He picked up the herbal cla.s.sic and looked at it helplessly.

Standing aside, Yang Zijin had long been used to their ways of interacting. If they didn't bicker, she would feel strange.

Yang Zijin chatted with Uncle Liu for a while before returning to the mansion of Marquis.

On the way, Yang Zijin thought about her poisoning. If it was true that Qiao Shu did it, what was her motivation? Was it because she was close to Shuo Ling? Qiao Shu knew her origin, so she should not worry that her existence would threaten her. As the saying goes, “A doctor has a kind heart.” Besides, she was a young lady in a big family, so she should not poison her. But it was true that she got headache after she lived in the mansion of Marquis.

Yang Zijin thought that since she had got the antidote, she didn't need to say it. After all, it happened in the mansion of Marquis Shuo. Also, the mansion of Marquis Shuo was not her own home after all, and many things were beyond her control, so she decided to move out of the mansion of Marquis Shuo.

After dinner, Yang Zijin came to Shuo Ling's yard.

Seeing Mo Li standing at the door, Yang Zijin walked up to him and said, “Please tell Marquis Shuo that I have something to talk with him.”

“Marquis Shuo is taking a bath. Please wait a minute, young master Yang.” Compared with the previous tone, Mo Li's tone towards Yang Zijin was warmer. Maybe he thought this young master Yang was different in the heart of Marquis Shuo.

Hearing Shuo Ling was bathing, Yang Zijin thought that she didn't come at the right time, so she replied, “Since Marquis Shuo is not convenient now, I will come tomorrow.”

Yang Zijin wanted to leave, but she heard the voice coming from the house, “I am convenient now.”

Before she could turn her head, she heard the sound of the door opening. Then she was pulled into the room by a big hand.

Not only Yang Zijin, but also Mo Li outside the door didn't know the situation clearly. He only saw Marquis Shuo wearing a bathrobe, holding young master Yang in his arms at lightning speed and coming into the room quickly. Was Marquis Shuo really like what the rumors said outside?

Thinking of this, Mo Li quickly shook his head, afraid to think more.

In the room, Shuo Ling's black hair fell loosely. He was wearing a black bathrobe, and the loose bathrobe could not cover his slender body. There was a slight breeze, and a strand of long hair on his head fluttered slightly, adding a touch of debonair atmosphere.

“Is Zijin attracted by my handsome appearance?” Shuo Ling stared at Yang Zijin, who was stunned at the moment, joking.

Yang Zijin regained her composure and tried to push Shuo Ling's hand away. She replied disdainfully, “Does Marquis Shuo think so?”

How could Marquis Shuo let Yang Zijin escape so smoothly? Shuo Ling took Yang Zijin on the bed without making extra trouble. Lying on her, his eyes narrowed slightly. He said to Yang Zijin with a smile, “I think so.”

Then he kissed Yang Zijin, and his hands kept touching her body.

Yang Zijin was speechless to this Marquis Shuo. Every time when she was alone with him, he must take advantage of her. The more she resisted, the more this Marquis Shuo became excited. This time, Yang Zijin decided to change the previous strategy. Anyway, she could not escape, so she let Shuo Ling touch her at will.

Sure enough, Shuo Ling saw that Yang Zijin was obedient, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He stopped his actions and sat up, asking, “What happened?”

Seeing Shuo Ling sitting up, Yang Zijin hurriedly escaped from the bed. Tidying up her clothes and clearing her throat, she said, “This time, I want to thank Marquis Shuo for your help when I was in distress. Secondly, I have been living in your home for many days. Now, I am healthy. How can I continue living here and troubling you? So, it is time for me to leave.”

“No way.” Shuo Ling blurted out.

Shuo Ling frowned tightly. Thinking for a while, he asked again, “Are you not being cared for properly, Zijin?”

“No, I'm being cared for properly. But Marquis Shuo also knows that I am a girl. There is no maid in your home. It is inconvenient to do many things.” Yang Zijin quickly shook her head and replied with a reason.

Without thinking more, Shuo Ling replied, “If so, how about asking Qiao Shu to serve you in your daily life?”

“Thank you, Marquis Shuo. But Qiao Shu is a young lady of a big family. She took care of me every day, which I feel was more than I was ent.i.tled to. Making Qiao Shu be my maid, even if she agrees, I can't agree.” Yang Zijin quickly refused.
