Guard C still had the job of guarding Ning Wang’s mansion, so he followed Lu Huan back to Ning Wang’s mansion.
At this time, there was chaos in Lu Wenxiu’s yard. The sobbing of servants and the sound of Lady Ning Wang smashing teacups and throwing cups could be heard.
The imperial physician left with the medicine box, shaking his head all the time, looking like… he was about to prepare for a funeral.
The imperial physician sighed and passed by Lu Huan.
Su Xi felt very happy when she saw this scene. Who asked Lu Wenxiu to do so many evil things?
This was the result of doing evil, eventually destroying oneself.
However, she also felt that it would be a pity to let Lu Wenxiu die like this. She didn’t even have time to torture him properly and let him experience what it felt like to carry a hundred buckets of water.
As she was thinking this, a message suddenly popped up on the system, saying, “Lu Wenxiu can’t die now.”
Su Xi asked: “Why?”
System: “If Lu Wenxiu dies now, Ning Wang’s Mansion must prepare for the funeral, which will take at least seven days. If that happens, the protagonist will not be able to participate in the Qiuyan Mountain Hunting in five days. Mission Three will be impossible to complete.”
After that, the third branch task popped up: “Rescuing Lu Wenxiu in the name of a miracle doctor.”
Su Xi understood, which meant that in this link, Lu Wenxiu must be rescued, otherwise the mission would be affected.
She couldn’t help but show an expression similar to the watch the old man on the subway.jpg
However, Lu Wenxiu was no longer a threat to the kid now, so just think of it as an act of kindness and save him.
However, the baby didn’t seem to want to save him——
The cub had a cold expression on his face. He glanced casually at Lu Wenxiu’s house with a look of indifference on his chubby face. Then he walked away without stopping.
Although the cub had the ideals of saving people, he was very ruthless when dealing with his enemies!
So, how could she get him to save Lu Wenxiu?
Su Xi was in a bit of a dilemma.
The note she left for Guard C and Master D last time was a recipe for decoction that she exchanged in the mall. When exchanging it, she modified the properties of the recipe and changed the handwriting to that of the cub.
——That’s why I could leave a message.
But apart from exchanging these, she currently had no way to write notes to communicate with her baby.
Or, just leave a packet of medicine behind like she did last time when she saved Master Ding?
But Su Xi felt reluctant to do so, and she didn’t want to save Lu Wenxiu in vain.
After Su Xi thought about it, she came up with a solution.
….
That night, Su Xi left a paper bag in Lu Wenxiu’s room, but there was no medicine in the bag.
In addition, she also exchanged for a portrait of Ning Wang’s wife, a picture of three kowtows and nine bows, and a picture of the woods outside the city from the system, and left them in Lu Wenxiu’s room.
The next day, the entire Ning Wang Mansion was in an uproar!
There were guards outside the house and yard of Second Young Master Lu Wenxiu, and not even a fly could get in. How could anyone get in and put something there?!
Not only that, Lady Ning was still taking care of the Second Young Master in his room all night. She just took a short nap at most. How could there be two pictures and a medicine paper bag out of nowhere?
Could it be that miracle doctor?
The story about the young miracle doctor was now spreading like wildfire in the capital, almost becoming a legend, so naturally, Lady Ning Wang also thought of him.
She was immediately delighted and thought that Lu Wenxiu was saved!
But why was this medicine bag empty, and what did these two pictures in the portrait mean?
These two pictures…
The scholars she invited all guessed in unison, “I’m afraid the meaning of these pictures is that they want you to kowtow with three kneelings and nine prostrations and go to the woods to get the medicine.”
After saying this, the scholar dared not speak anymore and shut his mouth.
The wife of Ning Wang’s face instantly turned pale: “What nonsense are you talking about?! I am the wife of Ning Wang, and you want me to kowtow with three kneelings and nine prostrations?! To a quack doctor?!”
However, Lu Wenxiu on the bed kept coughing up blood. The imperial physician who came yesterday said that he could only hold on for another day at most and might die anytime. He even suggested that she should prepare for his funeral as soon as possible.
When Lady Ning thought about this, her face turned from blue to white and she pinched her fingers into her palms.
….
When Lu Huan woke up in the morning, he also heard about this.
Did that person do this to vent his anger?
Forcing the wife of Ning Wang, a daughter of a wealthy family, to kowtow with three kneelings and nine prostrations could indeed be a complete humiliation to her and make her a laughing stock in the capital.
Although Lu Huan knew that he would leave the Ning Palace one day, he also knew that he would trample under his feet those who had insulted him.
But at this moment, all he wanted in his mind was to gain a firm foothold in the capital as soon as possible and become stronger and stronger, and then he would settle the score later. He had no intention of arguing with the people in Ning Wang mansion.
But that person seemed to be angrier and more disgusted with these people than he was.
For some reason, Lu Huan felt as if his heart was hit by something neither light nor heavy.
…Over the years, no one had ever spoken up for him, and he had long been accustomed to holding on alone and had become accustomed to loneliness and coldness.
He never imagined that one day someone would take revenge on Lady Ning for him.
He never thought that someone would stand firmly on his side.
Although this kind of revenge was a bit childish, more like a childish trick, but –
But he still couldn’t help but feel a trace of warmth flowing through his heart. This warmth flowed through his cold brows, making his eyes and brows, which were always as cold as the snow on the distant mountains, have a more melting look.
Lu Huan walked to the table and thought of another way to communicate with that person.
He pursed his lips slightly, in a very good mood, and put pen to paper.
….
Su Xi waited for him to send a text message.
She saw that what the cub wrote today was:
——”You need me to save Lu Wenxiu, right? If the answer is ‘yes’, can you put the brush to the left of the paper and inkstone? If the answer is ‘no’, put it to the right.”
Su Xi was stunned. What the hell, so cunning! Why didn’t she think of this way of communication?
Although I can’t reply to the note, I can still do this!
Wasn’t the cub only fourteen years old in the game now? Why was he so smart?
She looked up at the cub again.
The cub was small, soft and cute, wearing a middle shirt and standing in front of the table with his hands behind his back, his dark eyebrows raised, and a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Two words then appeared in the white bubble above his head: childish.
Su Xi: …………?????
Wait, who are you talking about, little brat?
The author has something to say:
Su Xi: Hey, I am childish? You are childish, your whole family is childish.
The cub: First of all, I don’t say hello.
