"That foolish woman, she’s got some nerve, falling asleep in the hot spring. Doesn't she fear drowning?"
Jun Mohan plunged into the water without even taking off his clothes, lifting Leng Ruoli. Only then did he realize the woman was naked, and his face instantly turned crimson.
Damn it!
This ugly woman isn't wearing any clothes!
Jun Mohan's hands trembled, and he tossed Leng Ruoli back into the hot spring, turning his back.
With a "bang."
Over a meter of water splashed from the hot spring.
Leng Ruoli instantly sobered up, letting out a startled cry.
"Ah..."
"Jun Mohan, you scoundrel!"
"Couldn't you even announce yourself before entering?"
Leng Ruoli's entire face turned red, unsure if it was from anger, shyness, or the steam.
"Foolish woman, I came to bring you clothes. I called out to you several times at the door, but you didn't respond. I thought something had happened to you. When I walked in, I found you asleep floating on the water. Seeing how deeply you were sleeping, I feared you might drown, so I kindly went in to lift you out. But then, I discovered you, foolish woman, weren't wearing any clothes, so I had to throw you back into the water."
"..."
Leng Ruoli felt speechless.
"Then place the clothes on that rack and leave immediately. I'm coming out."
Jun Mohan heard her and didn't reply. He walked to the wooden rack by the door, took the two sets of women's clothing, brought them in, placed them on the screen next to the hot spring, and walked out.
As he left, he threw a parting remark at Leng Ruoli: "Ugly woman, don't be afraid! Since I've seen you, I'll take responsibility."
"What?"
Leng Ruoli heard this and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. Sigh, these ancient people...
A moment later, Leng Ruoli changed into her clothes, took sanitary pads from her system space to use, and stepped out of the hot spring.
In the room, Jun Mohan had also changed. He stood tall, his three thousand strands of ink-black hair tied up with a jade crown. He wore an ice-blue, cross-collared, narrow-sleeved long gown, with a white jade pendant symbolizing his status at his waist. One hand held a book, while the other was clasped behind his back. He faced the open window, his two long, straight legs slightly apart, presenting a handsome back view.
It had to be said, this man’s back alone was enough to captivate someone.
"You're out. Let's go to lunch."
"Oh, my goodness!"
She hadn't expected it to be so late already. There was a patient with a venereal disease at her Hundred Herbs Hall waiting for an IV drip.
She had to rush back to the Hundred Herbs Hall immediately, or her old disciple would be frantic.
But Jun Mohan seemed to read her thoughts and said smugly, "Lunch first, then leave! Otherwise, if General Leng finds out you starved in Prince Leng’s mansion, he'll think I'm abusing you."
With that, Jun Mohan strode out of the Hanchen Hall towards the front hall (dining room).
"..."
Hearing this, Leng Ruoli stuck out her tongue at Jun Mohan's back, rolled her eyes, and made a funny face at him.
She thought to herself: It's just lunch, what's the big deal about eating?
Then, she closely followed Jun Mohan into the dining room and sat down without any pretense.
Leng Ruoli glanced at the dishes on the table and exclaimed, "Prince Leng's mansion truly lives up to its name; the food is excellent."
There were roast chicken, pig trotters, beef, fish... eight dishes and one soup, a truly extravagant spread.
Seeing Jun Mohan pick up his chopsticks and start eating, she didn't hesitate and first picked up a piece of fish to try.
"Good, good! Your mansion's cook really knows their stuff."
Then, a servant next to them ladled a bowl of pork rib soup for the two of them.
Leng Ruoli praised the Prince Leng's mansion's cook even more.
After she finished speaking, Jun Mohan quietly told her, "If it's delicious, eat more. All these dishes are blood-nourishing meals that I asked the cook to prepare for you."
"Pfft..."
Hearing his words, Leng Ruoli couldn't help but spit out the food in her mouth onto Jun Mohan's face.
Jun Mohan's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he roared at Leng Ruoli, "Leng Ruoli, you're seeking death!"
After spitting on Jun Mohan's face, Leng Ruoli immediately turned into a rocket and shot out of Prince Leng's mansion.
On the street, Leng Ruoli walked while patting her chest, feeling a sense of having survived a great disaster and now expecting good fortune.
"Oh, my heavens! That scene just now was truly perilous."
If she had been a step slower, Jun Mohan would have definitely turned her into a meat patty. Luckily, she ran fast.
Arriving outside the Hundred Herbs Hall, she indeed saw her old disciple looking around anxiously at the entrance.
Seeing her arrive, he became as excited as a child.
"Master, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to handle that venereal disease patient."
"Don't worry, your master always sees through treatments to the end."
Leng Ruoli lightly patted her old disciple's shoulder and said.
"How is it? Has Young Master Nie Caidie's condition improved today?"
"Master, your medicinal solution is truly powerful. That gentleman's condition is showing a slight trend of improvement."
"Is that so? I'll go in and take a look now."
There were only a few busy apprentices in the clinic. Nie Caidie's mother and two daughters, and Liu Nianhua's mother and son were nowhere to be seen.
Leng Ruoli immediately took a set of protective clothing from her medical kit, put it on nimbly, donned a mask and gloves, and walked towards the patient's room.
Nie Caidie's husband saw Leng Ruoli enter and his expression was so excited he was about to cry.
"Miss, thank you so much for saving my life. After using your medicine yesterday, I finally had a good night's sleep last night."
"Then you must cooperate with our treatment. Caidie has suffered greatly to cure this illness of yours. You must not fail her in the future. Remember to be good to Caidie and the two children, otherwise, I will not let you off." Leng Ruoli looked at him sharply.
"Miss, please rest assured. I swear to you, if I am still alive, from now on I will never fail Caidie. If I dare to do anything that betrays Caidie again, I will be struck by heavenly retribution."
Leng Ruoli saw the determination in his eyes and truly hoped he would sincerely repent.
"Alright, tell Caidie these words after you've recovered. There's no point in telling me."
Afterward, Leng Ruoli took his temperature, made a record, and quickly hung the IV drip for him.
She then turned and left the room.
