Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 279 Xu Lin uses the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic to save Nian Duan
Xu Lin nodded.

Then he handed Duanmu Rong's letter to Jingni.

"Mr. Nian Duan is not old, and he is a doctor, how could this be?"

After reading it, the mature and sophisticated Jingni asked, puzzled.

"Overwork leads to illness."

"It's also possible that she had a hidden illness from birth, but it was never known to outsiders."

Xu Lin answered.

Jingni nodded slightly, folded the letter in half, and placed it under the table.

"Husband, what do you plan to do?"

"Use the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic that you mentioned before?"

Jingni crossed her fair, jade-like legs to one side and asked.

She only reveals her gentle and tender side when she is alone with Xu Lin or Ying Tao.

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he climbed onto the bed and pulled Jingni into his arms.

"Can the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic really cure her illness?"

Jingni leaned on Xu Lin's shoulder and asked.

She had heard Xu Lin talk about the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. Xu Lin said that the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic could not only prolong life and improve one's cultivation, but also keep one young forever.

Except for the last one, eternal youth, it seems to be true; she didn't feel anything significant about the first two!

"it should be OK."

"At this point, we have no choice but to try anything."

"If that doesn't work, we'll think of another way."

Xu Lindao.

Jingni nodded in agreement. "Let's try it first, and we'll see if it works."

"Husband, when will you go to the Nian Mansion?"

Seeing that Xu Lin showed no sign of leaving, Jing Ni asked.

"Tomorrow night."

"This is a matter of great importance; we need to conserve our energy and build up our strength."

Xu Lin answered while thinking.

After saying that, he lay down.

He then moved down a bit, indicating that he urgently needed to replenish his nutrition.

Seeing this, Jingni sighed helplessly and then agreed to Xu Lin's request.

Luckily, Cherry was asleep. What would she think if she saw this?
Should Cherry call Xu Lin "brother" or "father"?
……

The next day.

Dusk.

Xu Lin rode his horse to Nian's residence.

Before long, he arrived at the Nian residence as he had wished.

Upon seeing Xu Lin, Duanmu Rong's eyebrows lit up with joy, and she then invited Xu Lin into her residence.

Where is your master?

Xu Lin asked straight to the point.

"study."

Duanmu Rong raised her hand and pointed to the study.

Xu Lin nodded and told Duanmu Rong the method for purifying crude salt, then asked Duanmu Rong to find crude salt and limestone.

Duanmu Rong is still young and it is not appropriate for her to stay in the mansion.

He doesn't care about this, the key is that Nian Duan mostly minds.

Although Duanmu Rong was young, she was very clever. Therefore, she readily agreed, bid farewell to Nian Duan, and went to find limestone and coarse salt with a bamboo basket on her back.

After the girl Duanmu Rong disappeared from sight, Xu Lin closed the wooden door and slowly walked towards Nian Duan.

"Sir, your newly invented fine salt..."

Nian Duan spoke up.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"I did not come for the fine salt."

Xu Lin said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Nian Duan, with her long hair cascading down her shoulders, looked puzzled.

Her clothes were loose and didn't show off her figure at all, but you could still tell she had a great figure!
"May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

Nian Duan asked curiously.

After speaking, she couldn't help but cough, so she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, then picked up the teacup and drank some boiled water.

She then forced a smile to indicate that she was in good health.

"I wonder how long it has been since Mr. Nian Duan last looked in a mirror?"

Xu Lin asked calmly.

He knew that these things couldn't be rushed, so he didn't get straight to the point.

"Although I am not a person who cares about beauty, I look in the mirror every day."

"I don't know, sir..."

Nian Duan asked.

She was interrupted by Xu Lin again before she could finish her sentence.

"Then how does Mr. Nian Duan feel about his complexion?" Xu Lin asked with a serious smile.

After speaking, he took out a bronze mirror from his storage space and handed it to Nian Duan.

"My complexion... is alright."

Nian Duan looked at her pale face in the mirror and forced a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cough again.

Seeing this, Xu Lin grabbed Nian Duan's wrist, telling her not to pretend and to cough if she wanted to. He wasn't an outsider, and there was nothing to hide about this!
"Sir, have you heard something?"

Nian Duan coughed lightly twice and asked.

"Yes."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he took out Duanmu Rong's letter from his bosom and handed it to Nian Duan.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Nian Duan, dressed simply, trembled with shock, unable to believe her eyes!

Rong'er actually secretly wrote a letter to Xu Lin!

"Does Mr. Nian Duan remember what I said before?"

Xu Lin stood with his hands behind his back and asked.

After saying this, he began searching for the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.

Before long, he found the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic by his pillow.

Nian Duan looked in the direction of the sound and blushed when she saw the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. She then pursed her thin lips.

Her lips are very dry. She has been drinking a lot of water every day lately, but it still doesn't help!

"Can the methods in this book really cure my illness?"

After a moment of contemplation, Nian Duan asked, unable to hide her shyness.

Unlike Madam Hu, she was not as reserved and was older than Zi Nu and the others, so she was not as shy about it!
"Mr. Nian Duan doesn't believe me?"

Xu Lin asked in a deep voice.

Nian Duan immediately shook her head, indicating that she believed Xu Lin.

The methods described in the book were too shameful; even just reading about them, let alone doing them, would make her heart race and her face burn with embarrassment.

"It seems Mr. Nian Duan is ready."

Seeing that Nian Duan didn't bury her face in her heaving chest, Xu Lin teased her.

Then he closed the bamboo window.

"I……"

Nian Duan's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

She wasn't prepared!

If she's prepared, will her palms be sweaty?
"Mr. Nian Duan, there's no need to be nervous."

"Everyone knows that I, Xu Lin, am a lecherous man. Therefore, if this matter gets out, Mr. Nian Duan can easily shift the blame onto me."

Xu Lin comforted.

Upon hearing this, Nian Duan immediately shook her head, indicating that she would not do such a thing.

She doesn't care that much about her reputation.

Moreover, Xu Lin did it to save her, so how can we let Xu Lin bear the blame for it?
"What happened today is known only to the two of us, so it shouldn't get out."

Xu Lin continued.

Then he had Nian sit on the soft couch.

After sitting upright on the soft couch, Nian Duan acted very reservedly, like a teenage girl who had not yet married, not knowing where to put her hands.

Nian Duan kept changing her mind, sometimes placing her hands on her legs, sometimes on her chest, and sometimes gently smoothing her hair. She seemed very nervous.

"nervous?"

Xu Lin asked gently.

"Fortunately."

Nian Duan answered.

Because the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic was right next to her, and Xu Lin was very close to her, she was so nervous that she dared not look at Xu Lin.

Although she was almost ten years older than Xu Lin, she had absolutely no experience in this area!

"If you're nervous, you can wear it."

Xu Lin took out an eye mask from his storage space and handed it to Nian Duan.

"Need not."

Nian Duan refused immediately.

Her hands were already trembling slightly when she refused.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and placed the eye mask on the windowsill.

Then he sat down next to Nian Duan.

"Sir, may I exit first and then enter?"

Just as Xu Lin was about to launch an attack, Nian Duan stopped him.

Nian Duan's thin, almost chapped lips are her weakness.

And the book doesn't seem to say that it should be done this way, does it?

She agreed that it was not for pleasure, but for healing, so she could not allow Xu Lin to do as he pleased!

"can."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then he had Nian Duan lie down on the soft couch.
