Jinyi Spring

Aunt Wang understood—this Lord Shangguan must already know the girl's true identity, and he's just feeling sorry for her.

She smiled as she accepted the silver note. "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Shangguan. This old servant also feels sorry for you, young lady, and will do my best to persuade you."

Feng Buji was also moved. He looked at Shangguan Ruyu with gratitude, and once again felt regret that his sister had missed out on the person who loved her the most.

Feng Chuchen went back into the house and took out two booklets, handing them to Shangguan Ruyu. “These contain my aunt’s insights and my own insights. Take a good look at them when you have time.”

It contains some medical knowledge from my previous life: how to remove necrotic tissue without damaging healthy tissue during debridement; how to avoid blood vessels during abdominal surgery, how to use hemostatic forceps to stop bleeding, and how to make the incision; how to cut and suture layer by layer during cesarean section.

If you encounter an intestinal abscess, how do you locate the inflamed cecum, and how do you remove, ligate, flush, and close the abdomen? If you encounter a severed tendon, how do you use the hollow, hard tube of a feather as a sheath, guide the severed tendon inside to align it, and then carefully suture it with mulberry bark thread through the sheath...

She also had insights into various gynecological diseases, contemplations on heart ailments, improved formulas for anesthetic powder, and a positive outlook on distilled spirits...

It encompasses a wide range of topics, covering multiple fields of medicine.

Previously, Feng Chuchen wanted to "invent" it little by little and then teach it to Shangguan Ruyu little by little.

Moved by him tonight, Feng Chuchen, who is usually very rational, became sentimental for once and gave him everything.

Shangguan Ruyu took the booklet and flipped through a few pages by the moonlight. The densely packed small characters on it contained content that interested him but which he didn't quite understand, and some of the words were new to him.

His handsome face beamed with joy as he looked up at her, "At such a young age, you know so much."

Feng Chuchen raised an eyebrow. "Don't you know? I'm a genius."

Shangguan Ruyu looked intently at the girl before him. Bathed in the soft moonlight, she seemed ethereal and otherworldly.

He said softly, "You're not just a genius, you're a fairy."

Shangguan Ruyu took the book and walked through the side door to get into the carriage. The carriage curtain was lifted, and he leaned out again, waving at her.

The carriage rumbled away and disappeared into the night.

Feng Chuchen raised her head, gazing at the starry sky, and silently thought to herself, "Dawn is approaching."

She habitually wanted to go back to the inpatient ward to check on the patients, but Aunt Wang grabbed her arm.

"This old servant just received so much silver from Lord Shangguan, young lady, you must let us keep it safe."

After everyone had received their share of the money, they all laughed and advised, "Miss, don't work too hard. Get some rest. What if Lord Shangguan finds out you've overworked yourself and takes the money back?"

Feng Buji stood to the side, sighing incessantly. He had told his sister many times, but she just wouldn't agree.

Seeing Feng Buji frowning and sighing like an old man, Feng Chuchen knew what he was thinking.

She smiled gently, took his hand, and they strolled slowly around the courtyard to aid digestion.

Wang Shuping and Datou followed behind, leaving a trail of crooked footprints.

The moonlight fell on the snow-covered branches, shimmering like a thin veil. Feng Buji looked up and suddenly said, "Sister, Ah Xuan hasn't visited us in a long time. I miss him."

Feng Chuchen didn't say anything, but just tightened her grip on his hand.

She wanted to too.

I miss Ah Xuan, I miss my mother, I miss my older brother, I miss my uncle... and I also miss Ming Shanyue.

Those names went through her mind, like counting distant lights.

Feng Buji went to the main room to do his homework. Feng Chuchen returned to the east wing alone and counted the silver notes that Shangguan Ruyu had given him: six thousand taels.

She couldn't help but chuckle. That child, had he brought most of his secret stash of money here?
Following her cousin's advice, she didn't go to the clinic tonight, nor did she even look at any medical books. She simply rested her chin on her hands, gazing absently at the candlelight.

The struggle on Ming Shanyue's side must have reached its climax. She recalled his departing figure, and his words, "When the wind is clear and the moon is bright"...

The moonlight outside the window is perfect, and the snow reflects the sky, creating a clear and bright scene.

Those people, those events, those weighty plans were all quietly unfolding behind her back.

She, who should have been at the center of the storm, was able to stay in a quiet corner, watching over her younger brother, counting the snowflakes, and waiting for news.

Feng Chuchen let out a soft sigh.

Thank you to them. Thank you to the person who sheltered her, allowing her to have such a peaceful night.

The next day, Feng Chuchen was busy at the clinic when Shaoyao came over to report, "Miss, we have a guest."

Feng Chuchen got up and went over.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked in the old courtyard; it belonged to Shangguan Ruyu.

Duan Yan and two guards were carrying brocade and boxes towards the new house.

On the octagonal table were ten bolts of fine fabric, six brocade boxes for jewelry, and a pile of bottles and jars for rouge and face powder.

Shangguan Ruyu sat to the side, his handsome face showing two large dark circles under his eyes.

Feng Chuchen walked over and complained in a low voice, "If you do this, people will become suspicious."

Shangguan Ruxia shook her head, looking completely calm. "They'll just think I'm scared out of my wits and still have feelings for you."

Feng Chuchen choked, unsure how to respond, and then asked, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Shangguan Ruyu waved her hand, and Duan Yan and Shaoyao, who were serving her, withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room.

"I was reading the booklet for half the night, and I was getting really into it when suddenly two words popped into my head, and I couldn't read any more."

Which two words?

He raised his eyes, looked straight at her, and clearly uttered two words, "Prince Consort".

Feng Chuchen was taken aback.

He continued to look at her, his gaze almost too earnest, his peach blossom eyes like a pool of spring water, rippling and spreading towards her in waves.

"No matter who becomes your son-in-law in the future, I will hate him and I will never be able to get along with him."

These words were so direct and impactful that even Feng Chuchen, an old man who had lived two lives, blushed.

She chuckled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

“I’m not lying,” he said, raising his chin slightly, stubborn as a child, “I really think so. In this world, no man understands you better than me, and no man will treat you better than me.”

Then, they gave you a look that showed you didn't appreciate it.

Feng Chuchen said helplessly, "We agreed not to mention that matter again."

His voice softened slightly, "I didn't mention that matter, I was just expressing my thoughts. Logically, you're my cousin now, I should be happy. But for some reason, I feel incredibly sad, afraid that you're drifting further and further away from me..."

Hearing this, Feng Chuchen felt a little sad and said, "We're cousins ​​now, how can we drift further apart?"

Shangguan Ruyu said seriously, "I do have this idea. I'm afraid you'll move into the princess's mansion with some shameless ugly man and make me angry every day... Hey, if I argue with him in the future, whose side will you take?" She pursed her lips and added, "If you dare to take his side, I won't talk to you anymore."

Feng Chuchen was both amused and exasperated. She quickly picked up the fabric on the table and changed the subject, "What kind of clothes would look good with this fabric?" (End of Chapter)
