Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 125 Seeking Medicine

After Zhao Junning walked away, Xu Wenhe slowly turned his gaze to Zhou Aoyang. Zhou Aoyang met his strange gaze and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What do you mean by staring at me like this?"

Xu Wenhe replied thoughtfully, "You are a little weird." Zhou Aoyang was immediately confused when he heard this and asked, "What's the problem? What's wrong with me?"

Xu Wenhe stroked his chin and shook his head gently. He couldn't seem to explain the specific reason, but he always felt that something was wrong with Zhou Aoyang... Finally, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Do you really like Jun Ning?" Although he knew it was unlikely, for Li Ziyan, he decided to test it. After all, judging from the movement and frequency of Zhou Aoyang's needle delivery, he was obviously quite familiar with Zhao Jun Ning.

Hearing this, Zhou Aoyang's face suddenly changed, and he waved his hands and explained: "I...what are you thinking about! I have always regarded Li Ziyan as my elder brother, and Zhao Junning is naturally my elder sister-in-law, how could I have any improper thoughts?" His words were full of eagerness and sincerity. After all, he had liked Zhao Junning before, but now he really didn't.

"Well, maybe, but you seem to know Jun Ning very well. And Jun Ning...the technique she used just now was like that of an experienced doctor who has been treating patients for a long time, not like a beginner at all. In short...you two are very weird, as if you know every one of us very well, and it has been like this since we first met." Faced with such questioning, Zhou Aoyang was speechless.

Of course, he couldn't confess to Xu Wenhe that he was a reborn person, otherwise Xu Wenhe would definitely think he was talking nonsense. So, he suddenly had an idea and said, "I... I once had a dream and saw you in the dream. Maybe this dream is predictive. Who would have thought that I would meet you just after this dream." Such absurd words, even he himself found it unbelievable.

However, unexpectedly, Xu Wenhe chose to believe him and responded: "Oh? I see! I have had similar experiences before. The dream I had the night before actually became a reality the next day."

In fact, Xu Wenhe's dream was about Wang Ningyi coming to find him, and this was not a prophecy, but just a coincidence. Zhou Aoyang secretly rejoiced, thinking: "Fortunately, I got away with it." Then he pretended to be excited and said: "Then we are really getting more and more destined."

Outside the house, Zhao Junning was also suspicious of Zhou Aoyang's skillful handing her the needle bag even though he knew that she had medical skills. She didn't believe Zhou Aoyang's words that he had foreseen it in a dream. Zhou Aoyang let out a long sigh. After all, he learned this gimmick of using dream as an excuse from Zhao Junning.

The next day, Zhou Aoyang and Xu Wenhe sent the 'female doctor' to the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, she turned around and looked at Zhou Aoyang, "You are still the same as before." The "before" that Zhao Junning was referring to was Zhou Aoyang before he was reborn in his previous life.

Zhao Junning guessed it the night before and got up early this morning to go see Li Ziyan. When she walked to the door, she heard Zhou Aoyang muttering to himself in the house: "God bless me, even if I am shot to death by arrows again, please don't let them be separated again. It's too bitter. This chaotic world is bitter. In the last life, it was Zhao Junning who came back and everything changed. How come it became Li Ziyan? They finally got married, so let's make them sweeter. You can't bear to separate two such good people, right?"

Zhou Aoyang paused after hearing what Zhao Junning said. Zhao Junning narrowed her eyes and smiled, and even through the veil, he could tell from her eyes that she was not playing tricks on him this time and was telling the truth. Zhou Aoyang continued, "You too."

Since Lu Wu was also present and she couldn't let him know that the so-called miracle doctor was Zhao Junning, she didn't say anything else and got on the carriage with Gan Cao who was also in disguise. Lu Wu didn't see Gan's carriage drive away. Lu Wu was still wondering who this person was, "Mr. Lu is still obsessed with the miracle doctor?" Lu Wu heard Zhou Aoyang's question with a needle in his eyes, "I just think he looks familiar." Zhou Aoyang nodded, "The miracle doctor's beautiful figure always makes people feel familiar, that's normal."

Inside the carriage, Zhao Junning changed back into her own clothes and closed her eyes to rest.

Soon they arrived at Xueye City. Once in the city, she went to look for Jiang Yunchuan first. "Sir, there is a woman outside the door who wants to see you." Jiang Yunchuan was sorting out petitions of all sizes. "A woman? Let her in."

The chief clerk brought Zhao Junning over. Jiang Yunchuan saw that she looked familiar at first glance and took another look. "Junning!" Zhao Junning bowed and said, "Sorry to bother you, Lord Jiang."

Jiang Yunchuan took Zhao Junning to the inner room, "Zi Yan is in Sangping City, you came with him?"

Zhao Junning said, "No, it's just... he was injured and I came to Xueye City to ask for medicine." Jiang Yunchuan was a little worried when he learned that Li Ziyan was injured: "What happened to Ziyan?"

Zhao Junning told the truth. In order not to delay Jiang Yunchuan, she took Zhao Junning to the home of the old doctor Shang Xu. "That's it. We all call him Shang Lao. He is a very good person, but... he is not so easy to convince. You may need to spend some time and effort." Zhao Junning glanced at Jiang Yunchuan. She knew that no matter how difficult it was, she could not wait for Li Ziyan. "Brother Jiang, don't worry. I will definitely get the medicine."

Jiang Yunchuan had full trust in Zhao Junning. He firmly believed, "Others may not be able to do it, but I think you can do it." Zhao Junning knocked on the door gently. "Who is it?" A low and old voice came from inside the room. The door slowly opened, Zhao Junning bowed respectfully, and said, "Mr. Shang, I came here specially to ask for medicine."

Shang Xu looked at Jiang Yunchuan standing outside the door, then said with a smile: "Oh, so you are here to ask for medicine, please come in!" Obviously, he let them in because of Jiang Yunchuan, because in the entire Xue Ye City, no one did not respect Jiang Yunchuan, even himself was no exception.

After entering the yard, Zhao Junning immediately smelled a mixture of various herbal aromas, which made her feel particularly at home. "What kind of medicine do you need?" Shang Xu looked at Zhao Junning and asked.

Zhao Junning's eyes quickly swept around, and finally fixed on the Clover in the dustpan beside her. She answered without hesitation, "I want Clover." Shang Xu turned his head and looked at the Clover in the dustpan, with a smile on his face, and teased, "Little girl, you have high standards. You asked for such a rare and precious herb right away?"

Zhao Junning knew very well how rare and precious the Cliff Jade was, but she still said firmly: "I know Cliff Jade is very rare, so I am willing to pay for it, I just hope you can sell me some." However, Shang Xu put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked towards the recliner, and said lightly: "No matter how much money you offer, I, an old man, will not sell it."

Shang Xu sat leisurely on the chair, the folding fan in his hand covering half of his face, and he hummed from time to time as he gently swayed it. However, things did not go smoothly. Zhao Junning was extremely anxious, but she appeared unusually calm. She knelt on her knees and said sincerely: "Mr. Shang, this Cliff Jade is very important to me. It is the only antidote to save my husband's life. Please give it to me!"

"Oh? What kind of poison has your husband been poisoned by that requires such precious medicinal herbs?" Shang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked curiously.

Zhao Junning replied with a slightly trembling voice, "It's Chen." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, her eyes flushed.

When Shang Xu heard the name of the medicine, his hand stopped moving for a moment, but soon returned to normal, continuing to fan himself and saying, "I see, but it's a pity, after all, he is only your husband, not mine. Little girl, please go back, this medicine is not easy to pick."

Zhao Junning bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She said firmly, "As long as you are willing to give me a Cloverleaf Jasmine, I will be willing to do anything you ask me to do!"

Shang Xu looked at the persistent woman in front of him, shook his head and sighed: "Girl, why are you doing this? If your husband is gone, you can just remarry someone else. The world is so big, there are many good men."

Zhao Junning suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with sadness and determination, "There are indeed many outstanding men in the world, but people like him are unique. I have made him wait once, and now I can't bear to miss him again... Mr. Shang, I'm sorry to bother you, I'd better go look for the antidote somewhere else." After she finished speaking, tears rolled down her face like a dam bursting. She felt heartbroken and heartbroken.
