My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 408 Arrangements

Chapter 408: Chapter 408 Arrangements

"It’s utterly baffling."

Ye Yunting had not, as before, laid hands on her directly, which indeed let Chu Nanli breathe a sigh of relief.

Her body could not handle too much stimulation now.

If Ye Yunting had truly gotten physical, she feared the child in her womb might be in danger.

Fortunately, he left on his own.

Yet, each encounter with Ye Yunting always left her in a rather unpleasant mood.

When Chu Yi came in, Chu Nanli’s lips were still downturned.

"Master, Imperial Physician Zhuang has already arrived at the gate. How about I ask him to leave for now?"

"What is he doing here?" Chu Nanli paused momentarily, annoyed, "It’s my fault; I forgot to tell him to wait for me at Jici Academy!"

Presumably, Zhuang Muyan had come to the residence because he hadn’t been able to find her.

When all’s said, it was still Ye Yunting’s unsolicited visit to blame.

Who knew what had aggravated him outside to come and lash out at her place?

Whichever the case, Chu Nanli was not particularly concerned.

When Zhuang Muyan came in, she had already composed herself, showing no signs of displeasure.

"Master, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Zhuang Muyan, unaware of Ye Yunting’s visit, was naturally more cautious given her current stage of pregnancy.

"If you are feeling unwell, just send someone to inform me, or I can come over; please don’t strain yourself."

"It’s all right, but today, I indeed have some matters to entrust to you."

Chu Nanli was well aware of her physical state.

In another two months, she was due to give birth.

By then, she surely could not openly use the medical pods in her possession.

This meant she would be unable to attend to outside matters for a while.

Therefore, she had to make sure everything was in order before giving birth.

She did not want to be caught between taking care of the child and handling other affairs at that time.

Xinlian’s affairs were temporarily worry-free, and Chu Yi was managing the martial arts school effectively.

The only concern for Chu Nanli was the Jici Academy.

The Jici Academy had only just started, and they had taken in many orphans whose parents had died.

These children ranged from infants to twelve or thirteen years old, covering all age groups.

If they were not properly guided, an oversight could very well lead to serious errors.

Chu Nanli quickly spoke, "What were your impressions after your visit there today?"

Upon hearing Chu Nanli bring this up, Zhuang Muyan immediately perked up.

"After my visit today, I truly found that Master, your heart is kind. Out of so many in the capital, no one has noticed the plight of these children, only you, Master..."

Seeing this, Chu Nanli quickly interrupted him, "We haven’t seen each other for such a short time, and how have you become so off-tune? Is that what I asked you to talk about?"

She wondered whom he had picked up this manner of speaking from.

Zhuang Muyan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "But what I said, indeed all came from the bottom of my heart."

Ever since he learned that Chu Nanli had personally funded the establishment of Jici Academy, his decision to follow her had proved even more gratifying to him.

Such a great master had taken him as an apprentice.

Just that fact alone made him proud for a lifetime.

"Then there’s no need for you to continue,"

Chu Nanli was truly both helpless and amused at the sight of Zhuang Muyan like this.

"I wanted you to go there today to assign you a task. Do you think any of those children are suitable to learn medical skills?"

"What do you mean, Master?"

At first, Zhuang Muyan didn’t quite understand what Chu Nanli meant, thinking that Chu Nanli was planning to take on another disciple.

"Among those children, most do indeed possess remarkable resilience, but if the Master considers taking them as apprentices, it’s essential to assess their character and talent, both are indispensable."

"If Master truly wants to take disciples, then I can help Master evaluate them."

By then, he would be the senior apprentice brother.

"No, I simply want you to teach them some of the most basic methods, such as how to deal with headaches and fevers, and how to treat some non-fatal minor wounds."

Chu Nanli’s plan was actually quite straightforward.

Even now, within the capital, not everyone can afford a doctor when they fall ill.

And some people, from an initial cold and chill, stubbornly wait until it becomes extremely serious before they are willing to spend silver to see a doctor.

By then, the amount of silver needed is certainly much more.

"Master means for me to teach them some simple medical techniques so that I can benefit more common people?"

Zhuang Muyan’s eyes lit up; the approach Chu Nanli spoke of was something he hadn’t considered.

Before entering the palace as an Imperial Physician, he had spent some time in his home’s medical clinic.

In just one month, he had witnessed many poor common people, who could not afford medicine and treatment, ultimately die at home from their illnesses.

Although he tried as much as possible to help them, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

"I’ve prepared some simple prescriptions, but first, you need to teach them the basics of medical principles."

Chu Nanli waved his hand, signaling Yanyan to bring over the things he had prepared.

"However, this will require some hard work on your part, as not all those children will be able to learn, but you still need to do your best."

"Don’t worry, Master, I will definitely teach them all!"

Zhuang Muyan was not at all afraid of hardship; he was eager to start the task entrusted to him by Chu Nanli right away.

As for the hardships that might come during the process, he didn’t mind them at all.

This was a task assigned by his master, and he must do it well!

As Chu Nanli was talking to him, Lin Xuanxuan also came looking for them at this time.

"Eh? You guy, what are you doing here?"

As the Prime Minister residence’s young mistress, Lin Xuanxuan naturally knew Zhuang Muyan.

But she was also curious as to why he was here today.

After all, the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau were not usually idle.

Furthermore, among the younger generation of the Zhuang Family, it was Zhuang Muyan who had achieved something.

The responsibilities he carried were naturally heavier.

"The Imperial Medical Bureau isn’t on duty today? You running around like this, be careful if your father finds out, he’ll be looking for you again to cause trouble."

Zhuang Muyan wore a proud expression: "I didn’t come here recklessly. Master asked me to come over, obviously there’s an important task he needs to assign me."

"Besides, the affairs of the Imperial Medical Bureau aren’t as important as the master’s instructions. At the master’s word, I naturally put all other matters aside and rushed over immediately."

Having said that, his expression became even more proud.

He looked very much like someone who had been sold but still helped count the money for the person who sold him.
