Chapter 1156: Don’t let one’s fertile water flow into others’ fields (2/2)
“Very good?” Han Yunxi echoed meaningfully.
Gu Qishao’s voice suddenly piped in. “If she’s that good, then marry her! She’s a disciple you taught, after all. Don’t let your fertile water flow into other people’s fields! Heheh!”
No one needed to look to know Gu Qishao was lounging on the roof this very second. Still, Long Feiye and Gu Beiyue deigned to spare him a glance, only to see that he looked quite energetic and asking for a beating--in other words, his usual self.
Gu Qishao jumped off the roof and sat with them. Before Gu Beiyue could ask, Han Yunxi said, “Gu Qishao, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Stay in the medical academy so Gu Beiyue can have a good look at you.”
Gu Qishao’s undying body was completely different from Bai Yanqing’s. Unless they figured out what was up, Han Yunxi couldn’t stop worrying. Gu Yuntian should still be alive in the prisons. We should bring him out later so I can interrogate him personally.
“Weren’t we talking about Fourth Young Miss Ren? Why is it suddenly all me?” Gu Qishao quicly changed the subject. “Gu Beiyue, have you taken a fancy to Fourth Young Miss Ren?”
“Qishao, don’t speak nonsense,” Gu Beiyue maintained his smile.
“If you’re a real man, dare to love and admit it, understand?” Gu Qishao yelled. Heaven knows if he meant other things as well.
Gu Beiyue was unruffled as ever. “I neither love nor admit it,” he said.
Long Feiye’s gaze dropped as he focused on drinking his tea, but Han Yunxi only looked at the duo curiously. Soon she was grinning. “Fourth Young Miss Ren...haha, I like her a lot too!”
Gu Beiyue didn’t offer his views, merely smiling slightly.
“Princess, we’ll need to wait for a doctor to give us a diagnosis before acting on Miss Jing’s teeth. I don’t think the medical academy doctors can treat her. But in the western regions of Tianning near Luoshui Prefecture, there’s a famous physician who supposedly treats teeth and makes dental replacements. It’s impossible to invite him here, so we’ll need to bring Miss Jing to him. Shall we wait for her to calm down after a few days before escorting her over?” Gu Beiyue asked.
Now that they were talking business, Han Yunxi stopped smiling. She nodded and said, “As long as it’s treatable, it’s fine if we go ourselves. Ning Jing hasn’t woken up yet, so I’ll tell her about it later.” After some hesitation, she asked, “Gu Beiyue, how about we let Fourth Young Miss Ren examine her?”
Gu Beiyue knew about the medicine Mu Linger had fed Ning Jing to expedite her delivery process. He also concluded that it would be impossible for Ning JIng to give birth again in this lifetime.
“Princess, I’m sorry,” Gu Beiyue felt helpless.
Han Yunxi’s heart clenched. She didn’t sit long, but headed for Tang Li’s courtyad. Close to noon, Ning Jing emerged from the chambers with puffy eyes. Han Yunxi had been waiting for a long time, so she went to see her immediately. “Ning Jing, how’s Tang Li doing?”
Ning Jing was the strongest one of all. Although her eyes were swollen, she had stopped crying.
“He’s the same as before,” she said, “I want to bring him back to the Tang Clan. Our daughter misses us.”
Before Han Yunxi could coax her, Ning Jing added, “Psychological problems must be treated with the heart. I’ll cure him, I definitely will!”
Faced with a woman like her, what else could Han Yunxi say?
“Gu Beiyue found you a dentist at Luoshui Prefecture. How about you two visit him on the way back?” Han Yunxi murmured. “The matter of your teeth will just be between us few. The Tang Clan doesn’t need to know.”
Ning Jing was indifferent. “So what if they now? As if they could fail to acknowledge me, the wife of the clan head?”
Han Yunxi chuckled. She had no worries handing over an insane Tang Li to Ning Jing, but she still had her fears. How easy could Ning Jing pass her days in the Tang Clan with him like this?
After all, Tang Zijin and the other elders weren’t easy to deal with!
Tang Li was Tang Zijin’s heir!
Ning Jing couldn’t have any more children!
Ning Jing was truly underestimating Tang Zijin and simplifying the matter. Han Yunxi could only hope that Tang Li would get well soon!
--
Three days later, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye went to the city gates to see Ning Jing and Tang Li off on their journey to Luoshui Prefecture. Meanwhile, Su Xiaoyu headed for Clearbreeze Peak alone.
