Screams erupted instantly!
Incredibly piercing.
Yun Xiaojing blinked her starry eyes.
Zhan Ming narrowed his eyes, fixated on Yun Xiaojing.
But the screams stopped in the quickest time possible.
"This!"
The guards were astonished, their faces filled with surprise.
Sensing something amiss, Zhan Ming lowered his gaze towards the snake pit. His expression seemed to crack, staring at the snake pit with immense shock.
Only Yun Xiaojing curled her lips slightly.
She spoke to the snake pit, "You guys are too well-behaved, aren't you?"
Zhan Ming's eyes widened again as he looked at Yun Xiaojing in disbelief.
He had a feeling that today things were spiraling out of control. And this child before him, how had Yun Shu raised him? So reckless and audacious! Many secretly called him a pervert. Was he the pervert, or was this child the pervert? So young, and not afraid of snakes?!
It was all because something was wrong with the snakes today!
Compared to the shock of Zhan Ming and the others above the snake pit, the servants inside, who had initially squeezed their eyes shut in terror, facing death.
They found that the snakes weren't eating them!
With so many snakes, not a single one was vying to devour them!
...
General's Mansion.
Zhongyong Hou produced a large stack of banknotes and presented it to Yun Shu.
Yun Changfeng demurred.
The two exchanged pleasantries politely for a while.
Finally, Yun Changfeng allowed Yun Shu to accept the money.
It was during this time that Yi Zixing completely recovered his composure, his previously pale complexion now rosy.
His gaze was fixed on Yun Shu, unable to move away.
"I have troubled Second Miss Yun." Yi Zixing said apologetically.
As a man, he didn't want to appear so weak before her time and time again.
He desperately wished to protect her.
But the reality was that she had saved him twice.
Yun Shu didn't mind at all. She smiled nonchalantly, "As I said earlier, it's nothing. You happened to be sick, and I happened to know medicine. However, my saving you today still needs to be kept a secret. It's best if no one knows."
"Second Miss Yun truly acts with discretion! Rest assured, this Marquis will also absolutely not reveal this matter to anyone," Zhongyong Hou stepped forward and made a promise.
The daughter-in-law before him became more pleasing to the eye the more he looked.
He even felt, for some unknown reason, that his son might not be good enough for her?
No, no, his son was outstanding.
Yi Zixing also nodded, "Second Miss Yun, please be assured."
Yun Shu smiled and nodded.
"However..." Zhongyong Hou's tone suddenly changed.
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhongyong Hou with confusion.
Yun Changfeng was also a little curious.
Zhongyong Hou smiled, "May I also ask Second Miss Yun to take my pulse? For years, I've felt unwell. The imperial physicians in the palace have given me various prescriptions, and I've taken dozens of them without much improvement."
After speaking, he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Alright, let me take a look. Marquis, please sit down." Yun Shu did not refuse. In fact, like father, like son. Yi Zixing had upright character, which was naturally due to Zhongyong Hou's family upbringing and teachings.
She was very willing to treat Zhongyong Hou.
Yun Changfeng was somewhat surprised, "I never saw anything wrong with the Marquis before."
"Alas! One becomes old and values face. I also make sure the imperial physicians in the Marquis's mansion keep their mouths shut," Zhongyong Hou sighed helplessly.
Moreover, he was the pillar of the Marquis's mansion. He absolutely could not let anyone know that he was in danger of collapsing, or else wouldn't some people try to bully the Marquis's mansion?
Yun Changfeng instantly understood and nodded knowingly.
Yi Zixing watched Yun Shu.
When she seriously took his pulse, her eyes were filled with a light that instantly calmed people.
And it seemed that no matter how much the outside world was in turmoil, it couldn't disturb her.
Zhongyong Hou also noticed.
He hadn't expected that Yun Er... no, no, she would definitely be his daughter-in-law in the future. He hadn't expected that his daughter-in-law, so young, would be even more composed than the bearded imperial physicians in the palace.
After a moment.
Yun Shu released his hand. "Marquis, you suffered several internal injuries when you were young, damaging your internal organs. You were even close to death once or twice. Even though you took medicine at the time and it seemed to have cured you, the root of the illness remained. You absolutely cannot be careless now. I will write a prescription first. After taking it for half a month, come back to the General's Mansion to see me again for another pulse check so I can adjust the prescription accordingly."
Zhongyong Hou was somewhat excited. He slammed the table abruptly, "Amazing! Truly amazing! I did indeed suffer internal injuries when I was young, and I was nearly killed once!"
Then, he excitedly said to Yun Changfeng, "Your daughter is a divine doctor! Absolutely a divine doctor!"
Yun Changfeng was somewhat proud, tilting his chin slightly, and pretending to nod calmly, "Merely a divine doctor."
"I've heard of a divine doctor in the martial world called the 'Sacred Hand Divine Doctor.' Her medical skills are miraculous. Although I haven't met her, after seeing your daughter's medical skills, I can confidently say that the Sacred Hand Divine Doctor is definitely not as good as your daughter!" Zhongyong Hou exclaimed excitedly.
Yun Changfeng couldn't stop smiling. "My daughter still needs to work harder, still needs to work harder."
Yun Shu watched the two of them going back and forth, feeling a little speechless.
Yi Zixing couldn't help but smile either. He said to Yun Shu in a low voice, "My father is always like this, Second Miss Yun, please don't mind."
Yun Shu shook her head. Zhongyong Hou was a man of true character.
...
After Zhan Ming brought Yun Xiaojing out of the snake pit.
He brought her back into the carriage.
In the small carriage, Zhan Ming's aura was oppressive.
But Yun Xiaojing seemed unaffected. She took out a piece of candy from her small satchel.
She put it in her mouth and ate it with relish.
Zhan Ming's gaze was dark and stern. For a moment, he didn't know what to do with the child before him!
Hit her?
Once she was scared into obedience, she would naturally listen.
He raised his hand, about to strike Yun Xiaojing.
Suddenly, Yun Xiaojing raised her head, her large eyes blinking as she looked at Zhan Ming, a brilliant smile on her face, "Are you going to hit me?"
Zhan Ming frowned.
The next moment.
Yun Xiaojing pointed at his palm, "Wow, a poisonous spider!"
"What?" Zhan Ming's expression changed. He looked at his palm.
His palm was clean, empty, with nothing on it.
"How dare you trick me, you deserve to die!"
He raised his hand high again, about to strike Yun Xiaojing's fair, tender face.
Yun Xiaojing chuckled, revealing her small fangs.
She sidestepped and hid behind the carriage curtain.
Zhan Ming reached out to grab Yun Xiaojing.
But the next moment!
An unbelievable scene occurred!
A large black spider, as big as a child's palm, fell from the carriage roof!
The large spider crawled towards Zhan Ming's face!
Blocking Zhan Ming's vision.
Zhan Ming grabbed the spider.
At first, he thought it was some random thing the child had thrown. He never expected it to be a spider!
He had never seen such a large spider!
"Why is there a spider in the carriage?" Zhan Ming asked furiously.
Yun Xiaojing spread her small hands, "I told you there was a spider, and you didn't believe me. Such a big spider must be poisonous!"
