After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband
Chapter 93: Prescription

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Prescription

Su Jin sat on the bed, gulping down tea.

This medicine was really too bitter!

She liked the scent of herbs and usually advised others that good medicine tastes bitter, but when it was her turn, she was as disdainful as could be.

Xingxing ran back panting, carrying sweet preserves.

She stepped forward and said, "Miss, have you finished your medicine?"

Su Jin raised an eyebrow, "You didn’t buy the sweet preserves from the street, did you?"

Xingxing shook her head vigorously, "It’s dark, there’s a curfew on the streets, I couldn’t buy any, I went and snatched them from the main kitchen."

Snatched...

Such a domineering word said so easily, so joyfully.

Is it because she’s gone back to her old ways and got a kick out of it?

A thick black line dropped down Su Jin’s forehead.

But considering the pig intestines, snatching sweet preserves wasn’t such a big deal.

Xingxing handed over the sweet preserves, and with the bitterness still in her mouth, Su Jin took one and shoved it into her mouth.

The sweetness spread, opening up the taste buds on her tongue.

Dispelling the bitterness, leaving only sweetness behind.

Su Jin felt a bit more at ease, but Xie Jinyu wasn’t so happy.

She had snatched someone else’s pig intestines in a muddle-headed state, completely losing face, and her mother, to save her from embarrassment, ate the pig intestines and even forced the entire Duke Zhen Country Mansion to eat them, not knowing how many enemies she made behind her back.

And now even asking the main kitchen to buy her some sweet preserves, they got snatched by a bandit maid!

Snatching things was embarrassing for her.

Being snatched from was still embarrassing for her.

Is there any fairness left in the world?!

Xie Jinyu went angrily to her mother, Princess Nanzhang, to complain.

"Mother, I can’t even get sweet preserves now, if you don’t give her a lesson, I fear she’ll keep snatching anything I have!" Xie Jinyu said, pulling Princess Nanzhang’s arm with a tearful wronged look in her eyes.

Princess Nanzhang was already seething inside.

No one had ever dared to snatch her daughter’s stuff before, this was the first time.

This was already acting up under her nose, acting like queens.

If they didn’t put an end to it, Duke Zhen Country Mansion might really have to change its name!

In her anger, Mrs. Zhao suggested, "The Eldest Young Madam comes from a bandit background, she can’t change that bandit air about her, snatching things must be a common occurrence."

At this, Xie Jinyu said, "Mother, you see, even Mrs. Zhao thinks so..."

Before Xie Jinyu could finish, the frost on Princess Nanzhang’s face melted away, and she smiled, "Let her snatch."

"Mother!" Xie Jinyu stomped her foot in anger.

"What she snatches might not always be good, it might be a hot potato," Princess Nanzhang said.

Xie Jinyu realized this, and a bright smile broke through the gloom on her face.

Inside the room.

Su Jin had just picked up a sweet preserve to put in her mouth when she suddenly sneezed.

The sweet preserve fell to the ground and rolled forward a bit.

She rubbed her nose, feeling a slight sourness.

Xingxing asked worriedly, "Did you catch a cold from the wind?"

"It’s nothing, probably got cursed by someone for snatching the sweet preserves," Su Jin said.

"If they curse Miss for snatching a bit of sweet preserve, then we’re happy when they snatch Miss’s pig intestines, their tolerance is really lacking," Xingxing mumbled unclearly.

"...."

"But these sweet preserves are really tasty, I’ll have the main kitchen buy some for Miss again tomorrow," Xingxing said.

"...."

"In the future, whatever food you take from the main kitchen, only after I’ve tasted it can you eat it," Su Jin said, holding her forehead.

Xingxing looked at her, eyes wide open.

Wanting to say something but stopping.

Su Jin raised an eyebrow, she had even learned to be hesitant about speaking, which was unlike her nature.

"Just say whatever’s on your mind," Su Jin said with a smile.

"Miss, how did you find out I snuck a sweet preserve?" Xingxing said, blushing.

"...."

"I only had one piece."

"...."

Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh.

She went to the trouble of snatching sweet preserves from the main kitchen to get rid of her bitterness.

What’s one or two pieces?

But this is Duke Zhen Country Mansion, once outside the backyard, who knows where the hidden traps are, when one might fall into them?

She must be cautious, being careful is how one sails a ship for ten thousand years.

"From now on, not a single piece, remember?" Su Jin advised.

"I sometimes can’t resist," Xingxing said, bowing her head.

"Even if you can’t resist, you must resist, in case there’s arsenic inside, I won’t have time to save you," Su Jin said.

"Ah? Arsenic?"

"I can definitely resist!" Xingxing promised, pounding her chest.

"...."

Quietness fell within the room.

Su Jin rubbed her aching stomach, Xingxing said, "Even after taking medicine, it still hurts."

Su Jin chuckled, "It’s not a miracle medicine, how could it work so fast."

Xingxing looked at her, "Can Miss cure herself?"

"With careful nursing for half a year, it shouldn’t hurt as much as now," Su Jin said.

"Miss, did you not study medical skills completely," Xingxing said.

"...."

"I’ve seen doctors cure illnesses in three to five days, but you take several months," Xingxing said.

"...."

"Some illnesses, even without medicine, get better after enduring for a few days."

"...."

Xingxing thought, nursing for half a year, in the end, was it the Miss who cured herself or the husband who cured her, it’s still uncertain.

Su Jin held her forehead.

Her golden signboard couldn’t withstand a blow from Xingxing, it was already wobbling.

Zhao Mansion.

It’s the residence of Doctor Zhao from the Imperial Hospital.

Also, the nearest Imperial Physician to Duke Zhen Country Mansion.

It was already late.

The streets were about to fall under curfew.

There was no time to rush to the Imperial Hospital, so the Hidden Guard went directly to the Zhao Family.

After knocking, the servant opened the door.

Before the Hidden Guard could speak, the servant said, "It’s late, my master doesn’t go out for consultations at night, please come early tomorrow."

Leaving with one sentence.

He probably didn’t even get a clear look at the Hidden Guard’s face.

And directly slammed the door.

Hidden Guard, "...."

He knocked on the door again.

The servant didn’t open the door again, only said, "Please go back!"

The Hidden Guard’s brows knitted into a knot.

It seems he had forgotten his identity.

He was a Hidden Guard, wasn’t he.

Wherever he went, did he need to knock?

He had scaled more walls than doors he had walked through.

Sent by the Duke to protect the Eldest Young Master, forcibly turned into a Bright Guard by the Eldest Young Madam.

No!

A sidekick!

Now, if he didn’t use the main entrance, he felt all wrong.

This wasn’t a good habit, he had to change it.

Leaping over, the Hidden Guard jumped into the Zhao residence and headed straight for the study in the main courtyard.

In the stillness of the night and dressed in black.

And coupled with a serious face.

He seemed like he was there to kill someone.

He frightened Doctor Zhao, who was flipping through medical books, half to death.

After some questioning, it turned out the unlucky doctor caught by Marquis Dongxiang to treat Su Jin was Doctor Zhao.

Hidden Guard, "...."

Doctor Zhao, "...."

When the Hidden Guard left the Zhao residence, climbing over the wall, he had more than just some wrapped items in his hand.

Agarwood Pavilion, study room.

Xie Jingchen sat there, growing impatient with the wait.

The Hidden Guard entered, draped in a cloth-wrapped package.

Lateness embraced by the night air.

Without speaking, without a smile in his black-clad face.

Everything about him screamed seriousness.

As if he was there to carry out a secret assignment.

Without going through the front door now felt all sorts of wrong.

This uncharacteristic hesitation was not a good habit, I should change it for sure.

Xie Jingchen looked up, "Did you find out?"

Hidden Guard shook his head, "Doctor Zhao didn’t say, only gave me the prescription, asked me to give it to you."

He thrust his hand forward, respectfully presenting the package of things.

Xie Jingchen took it.

Frowning, he remarked, "This thick of a prescription?"

"Doctor Zhao said any one prescription out of these would work," said the Hidden Guard.

When did treating illnesses become so casual?

Soon the three characters registered in his eyes.

Spring, palace, and picture.

A glance from the Hidden Guard confirmed it.

And Xie Jingchen thought, should I pick a good location first?
