Chapter 119 Doctor Qian did it on purpose

Gu Cheng'an saw Du Ruoling's expression, but he subconsciously ignored it.

"Look, this yard may be a bit small, but it's quiet. Let's tidy it up a bit and plant some flowers and plants..."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to do it himself, since they had no servants to order around now.

However, Du Ruoling stood still, motionless.

She gently bit her lower lip. "I'm still in my postpartum period."

Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng'an slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory! I deserve to die!"

He was so excited that he was only thinking about having a new home that he completely forgot that Du Ruoling was still in her postpartum period.

"You rest first, I'll take care of the tidying up."

As Gu Cheng'an spoke, he helped her sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

He even took off his coat and put it under her bottom so she wouldn't catch a cold.

Looking at the noble and pampered young master of the Marquis's mansion, is he like this?

Du Ruoling felt a mix of emotions. Gu Cheng'an had sacrificed so much for her. She sighed softly and looked up at the sky in the courtyard.

Isn't this a brand new beginning?

As a college student, why would she be afraid of not being able to earn money in ancient times?

She didn't waste her four years of university; she has a wealth of knowledge and a flexible mind. She can come up with a whole bunch of novelties that the ancients had never seen or heard of, and ways to make money that they had never heard of.

Once she recovers, she'll definitely earn lots of money and leave this shabby little courtyard...

Since Gu Cheng'an left with Du Ruoling, things have completely quieted down at the Marquis of Anyang's residence.

Gu Junze, despite his constant battles of wits with Gu Yun, still couldn't get any meat. No matter what method he used, the little guy always appeared at the crucial moment.

He was holding it in so much he was about to explode...

Doctor Qian sat by Gu Junze's bedside, his eyes full of teasing. "Young Master, I see you're quite irritable. How about I prescribe some herbal tea to cool you down?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Junze's face flashed with embarrassment, and he coughed twice, "No need."

Chu Ruohan, standing to the side, couldn't help but blush slightly at the tips of her ears. She wasn't an innocent girl who didn't understand human affairs. She had been played by Wei Qiming in her previous life, so she knew about matters between men and women.

With Yun-ge around these days, Gu Junze has been much more well-behaved. The two haven't been sleeping together or engaging in any intimate behavior.

But then I felt something was wrong. Wasn't he impotent?

She must be overthinking it; Dr. Qian's description of "internal heat" is completely different from what she thinks.

Could it be because I ate too many sweets these past two days?

Then I thought about how Yun-ge ate the most.

She whispered, "Yuling, go to the kitchen and prepare some cooling food."

After receiving the order, Yu Ling hurriedly withdrew.

Gu Junze opened his mouth, intending to defend himself, but swallowed the words back.

He couldn't very well say that he was sexually frustrated...

Dr. Qian watched him, his face contorted in frustration yet trying to maintain his composure, and could barely suppress the smile playing on his lips.

His face turned red.

Gu Junze was already feeling uneasy, and seeing him like this, he was secretly annoyed. He glared at Doctor Qian with a warning look in his eyes.

Dr. Qian toned it down a little, but his eyes still held a strong hint of mockery.

After a moment, Doctor Qian regained some of his serious demeanor as a physician and took out a long, thin needle.

Unlike the silver needles used in ordinary acupuncture.

It must be more than three feet long.

Dr. Qian performed acupuncture on Gu Junze for quite some time, and his legs regained sensation, making him no different from an ordinary person.

I've been taking good care of myself these days, and the meridians in my legs have almost recovered, even become much thicker, but I still can't stand up.

Dr. Qian was so worried that he lost a lot of hair.

Then he thought of another idea, "These are python needles, we'll use them to pass through the meridians and clear the blockages..."

Dr. Qian spoke casually, but Chu Ruohan watched with trepidation as the python needle slowly sank into Gu Junze's leg.

Then Dr. Qian flicked his wrist, and the python needle went in and out of the flesh, making the scalp tingle.

Gu Junze, however, kept his lips tightly pressed together, remaining silent and showing no change in expression.

Only the beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him; he was in pain, in great pain…

The room was quiet, with only heavy breathing being the only sound.

It wasn't until Dr. Qian performed the python needle treatment that Chu Ruohan stepped forward and gently wiped the sweat from Gu Junze's forehead with a handkerchief.

Gu Junze took her hand and patted it gently, saying, "It's alright." He was trying to reassure her.

Actually, this pain is nothing compared to the torment I experienced while taking a medicinal bath before...

Just then, Yuling hurriedly walked in carrying a tray.

On the tray was a bowl of steaming honeysuckle dew, and next to it was a plate of cold bitter melon salad. The bright green bitter melon was neatly cut and looked very refreshing.

Doctor Qian deftly put the python needles into his medicine box, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, his eyes also showing a hint of mischief.

"Young Master, these are all good for reducing internal heat, you should use more of them." The tone was half teasing and half joking.

Before Gu Junze could react, he quickly picked up his medicine box and hurriedly made his escape, as if his feet were greased.

All that remained was Gu Junze's face filled with helplessness and a hint of anger.

Yuling carried the tray to the bedside and gently placed the honeysuckle dew and cold bitter melon salad on the table beside her.

After placing it down, she straightened up, moved lightly, and walked to Chu Ruohan's side.

She lowered her head slightly, leaned closer to Chu Ruohan, and nodded subtly, the gesture implying that Chu Nanxin had gone out again.

Chu Ruohan raised an eyebrow and gestured to Yu Ling with her eyes that it was time to make a move.

Previously, Chu Nanxin colluded with Aunt Li to try to abduct Gu Yun from the Marquis's mansion. Although Chu Ruohan had the maid killed and Aunt Li punished.

But he had no intention of letting Chu Nanxin off so easily.

In the past, when she dealt with Gu's mother, because she had just married into the Marquis's mansion, she had to carefully plan and meticulously arrange things, leading Gu's mother step by step into the trap.

But things are different now. She is now the wife of the Marquis's heir and holds great power.

There's no need to go through all that trouble with Chu Nanxin, but she plans to deal with Gu Chengyan as well.

Gu Chengyan still thought that he could achieve the same glory and honor as in his previous life by passing the imperial examinations three times. But that was out of the question.

Yu Ling understood Chu Ruohan's meaning, gave a slight bow, and quietly withdrew.

Gu Junze took in all the subtle actions between the master and servant, a faint smile playing on his lips. Although he didn't know what Chu Ruohan was up to, he was certain that whoever offended her was in for trouble.

Chu Ruohan held the honeysuckle dew to his lips, saying, "This is most effective at relieving internal heat."

Gu Junze looked at the bowl of honeysuckle dew, then glanced at Chu Ruohan, and his lips twitched. Was she really unaware, or was she doing it on purpose?

He reluctantly accepted it, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The bitter taste spread across my tongue; it wasn't even as good as that cloud cake...
