After getting married, she spent every night alone in her room; when she asked for a divorce, he kne

Xiao Jinghan frowned as he looked at Liu Yuansheng. "What are you doing here?"

Liu Yuansheng, carrying a basket, didn't know how to explain, so Xiao Jingzhuo quickly said for her, "Oh, Third Sister-in-law is picking flowers, just like me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghan frowned even more, clearly unable to understand their actions.

"Third Brother, what kind of look is that? We really are here to pick flowers."

Xiao Jingzhuo plopped down next to Xiao Jinghan and sipped his tea. "Mr. Jiang asked us to write poems today with roses as the theme. I came to the rose wall to find some inspiration and happened to run into my third sister-in-law who was picking flowers, so I helped her pick some."

"You come to the rose wall to write a poem about roses? What if you wrote about spider lilies? Are you planning a trip to the underworld?" Xiao Jinghan snatched the teacup from Xiao Jingzhuo's hand. "Don't drink it!"

Xiao Jingzhuo pursed his lips and waved to Liu Yuansheng, who was not far away, "Third sister-in-law, come here."

Liu Yuansheng then walked towards the pavilion.

Liang Yuheng, fanning himself with a folding fan, looked at Xiao Jingzhuo. "Fourth Young Master, so you're saying you overheard my conversation with the Heir Apparent just now?"

"I heard you! My brother's voice is so loud, it's impossible for me not to hear you!" Xiao Jingzhuo suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer to Xiao Jinghan, "Brother, are you going to deal with Lord Jin?"

Xiao Jinghan didn't reply, but silently exchanged a glance with Liang Yuheng.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Jinghan saw Liu Yuansheng's graceful figure slowly appear. He looked over and asked, "Picking flowers?"

Liu Yuansheng nodded.

"Is your sister-in-law making flower cakes?" Liang Yuheng stood up and spoke to Liu Yuansheng. "My sister likes to pick some flower petals and make things like crystal cakes and flower cakes. They're pretty and delicious."

Liu Yuansheng looked down at the flower petals in the basket, wanting to say that she wasn't making flower cakes, but she couldn't make a sound and didn't need to explain to Liang Yuheng, so she just smiled slightly in response.

"The sun will be shining soon, hurry back. If you want flowers, just have the servants pick them." Xiao Jinghan gestured to Xiao Jingzhuo, "Take your third sister-in-law back."

Xiao Jingzhuo was eating a melon on the table when he heard this. He wiped his mouth, left the pavilion, and said, "Third Sister-in-law, let's go!"

Liu Yuansheng nodded and followed Xiao Jingzhuo.

Xiao Jinghan silently watched Liu Yuansheng's departing figure, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a sip.

"Brother Xiao, this is not good," Liang Yuheng said, fanning himself. "What do you think, should we change our plans?"

"No need," Xiao Jinghan said without hesitation. "Just do as I just said."

Three days later, the Censorate released Jin Gongzheng on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

At that time, Liu Yuansheng was at Baicaotang, making ointment with roses she had picked herself.

The ancient prescription she used wasn't difficult, but it required rose petals as an ingredient. She showed the prepared ointment to Doctor Xue, who pointed out its shortcomings, and Liu Yuansheng quickly made revisions.

The busy work lasted until noon. Liu Yuansheng had been sitting for too long, and when she got up, she felt a little dizzy. She leaned on the table to calm herself down for a moment, and was about to tell Ying'er that they could go back when she suddenly saw Jiang Zhihuan walk into Baicaotang.

Liu Yuansheng stared at Jiang Zhihuan, stunned.

Jiang Zhihuan, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed. Upon seeing her, he said, "Madam Xiao? Has Madam also come to see a doctor?"

Liu Yuansheng was stunned for a while before shaking his head.

"Is Madam's voice damaged?" Jiang Zhihuan asked. "Is there any way to treat it?"

Liu Yuansheng frowned.

Is he concerned about her?

She stepped forward, pointed at Jiang Zhihuan, then at the position where Doctor Xue was seeing patients, trying to express her meaning with a questioning look.

"You mean, what am I doing here?"

Liu Yuansheng nodded.

"I've come to see a doctor," Jiang Zhihuan said. "I heard that Doctor Xue from Baicaotang has superb medical skills, so I came here specifically to seek him out."

It turned out to be the case.

Unfortunately, Doctor Xue left, and Liu Yuansheng gestured again, saying, "Wait a moment."

"Such a large clinic, does it only have one doctor, Dr. Xue?" Jiang Zhihuan asked Liu Yuansheng with a smile. "Madam Xiao gave me a medical book last time, surely you don't know anything about medicine?"

Liu Yuansheng was slightly taken aback.

He knew perfectly well whether she was skilled in medicine.

To be precise, the reason she studied medicine was for him, to treat his cough.

Unfortunately, he left without saying goodbye before his illness was cured. He returned today, seemingly even more ill.

Liu Yuansheng remained silent for a long time before finally nodding, signaling Jiang Zhihuan to sit down beside the examination table.

Jiang Zhihuan readily sat down, rolled up his sleeves, and placed his hand on the pulse table. "Thank you for your trouble."

With mixed feelings, Liu Yuansheng looked at Jiang Zhihuan's wrist and then gently pressed her fingers on it.

She forced herself to calm down and focused all her attention on the pulse under her fingertips.

Therefore, when Jiang Zhihuan secretly raised his eyes and looked at her with reluctance, she didn't notice at all.

His condition was indeed worse than before.

Liu Yuansheng's eyes reddened. She moved her hand away, picked up a pen and paper, and quickly wrote: How could this happen?

Jiang Zhihuan stared at the words on the paper. "Is the lady asking about my illness?"

"Or should I ask something else?"

Liu Yuansheng was stunned again.

Indeed, she had many questions.

But at this moment, all she wanted to know was what had happened to Jiang Zhihuan after he went to Yuzhou, and how he had ruined his body to this state.

She picked up another piece of paper and quickly wrote down the questions she wanted to ask. Suddenly, Xiao Jinghan appeared out of nowhere and swaggered into Baicaotang.

"Lord Jiang? What a coincidence." Seeing Jiang Zhihuan sitting at the consultation table, Xiao Jinghan walked over with a curious expression. "Is Lord Jiang here for a medical consultation?"

Jiang Zhihuan quickly put away the note written by Liu Yuansheng, stood up, and bowed to Xiao Jinghan, saying, "Lord Xiao."

Xiao Jinghan's gaze swept over Liu Yuansheng's face, whose eyes were still red. "What did Lord Jiang say to my wife? Look, he's moved her to tears."

Jiang Zhihuan's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "I was just recalling the beautiful scenery of Yuxu Mountain. When Madam Xiao heard this, she probably thought of the time she spent living in Shuiyue Nunnery, and became saddened, which is why she shed tears."

"I see." Xiao Jinghan chuckled. "Lord Jiang, are you feeling unwell? Shall I have the imperial physician examine you?"

"This humble official thanks Lord Xiao for his kindness," Jiang Zhihuan said. "It's just a minor ailment; a little medicine will do the trick."

"Is that so?" Xiao Jinghan's smile deepened. "However, I think Lord Jiang has quite a few ailments. Some of them might even cost you your life, so you'd better be careful."

Jiang Zhihuan's heart sank, and a beautiful figure inexplicably appeared in his mind.
