Chapter 9
“Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?” Jiang Yining asked the female housekeeper.
“It’s ready.”
Tsk tsk.
As expected of a rich family. There were a few very expensive herbs on her list, and they were priceless.
An ordinary person’s lifetime income would not be able to afford one of them, but the Lu family had prepared it all in just a few hours.
“Mhm.” Jiang Yining nodded lightly. “Where is Lu Zhi’s bedroom?”
“In front.”
The housekeeper led her to the bedroom.
When they arrived, Jiang Yining ordered them to leave everything behind.
Then, a person locked the door and was tinkering with something.
A moment later, Lu Zhi came over and saw a bunch of them gathered at the door. He asked in a noble voice, “What are you guys doing?”
“Sir, the Young Mistress ordered us to wait outside.”
Lu Zhi frowned. He had a slight obsession with cleanliness and didn’t like strangers approaching his private space.
Usually, the servants only dared to stay for a while to clean the room, but Jiang Yining actually dared to enter without his permission?
Lu Zhi took a step forward and was about to open the door.
Clinker–
The door creaked open from the inside.
Immediately after, Jiang Yining’s red and chubby face was revealed. “You came just in time! Come in quickly!”
After saying that, she reached out and pulled him into the bedroom.
The surrounding servants were speechless.
The Young Mistress was too impatient.
The bedroom was filled with smoke, making it look like a fairyland.
However, Lu Zhi wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. He hated it when others messed up his territory. With his absolute height advantage, he looked down at the girl in front of him and questioned her coldly, “What are you doing…”
“Quickly take off your clothes!”
Before he could finish, Jiang Yining urged him.
Lu Zhi’s two sword-like eyebrows knitted together.
Jiang Yining saw that he didn’t move, so she angrily took action and said, “You’re a man. Are you afraid that I’ll take advantage of you?”
“Please, in the eyes of us doctors, men and women are the same, okay? Hurry up and take off your clothes. Otherwise, don’t blame me if you miss the effect of the medicine.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zhi’s shirt was stripped off, revealing his bronze skin and smooth eight-pack abs.
Jiang Yining reached out to untie the belt around his abdomen.
Lu Zhi quickly stopped her.
Jiang Yining paused, then raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, “You’re not shy, are you?”
Lu Zhi calmly asked, “Are you sure you want to see me strip naked?”
Jiang Yining’s eyes flashed with an unnatural look, but she pretended to be generous and turned around. “Alright, I’ll turn my back. Is that okay?”
Lu Zhi looked around the room and realized that there was a wooden bucket in the middle of the bedroom. There were all kinds of medicinal herbs soaked in it, and the heat was emitted from the wooden bucket. It was probably to give him a medicinal bath.
Hence, he took off his clothes.
Jiang Yining heard the rustling behind her and knew that he had done as he was told. She commanded again, “You go into the medicine bucket.”
Sploosh!
The sound of water could be heard.
Jiang Yining turned around and saw Lu Zhi sitting in the painted wooden bucket, and he wasn’t looking good.
“Why does it hurt so much?” Just soaking in it made him feel as if his skin was being torn apart bit by bit.
“This is a strong medicine. Your illness was brought out from your mother’s womb and has accumulated for more than ten years. If you want to completely cure it, of course, you have to use a strong medicine. Hold it in, relax, and don’t be afraid of the pain, you’ll get used to it after soaking more.”
Jiang Yining rolled up her sleeves, took out some medicine, and continued to add it to the bucket. She even poured hot water from time to time.
When he was almost done soaking, she took out a set of silver needles and pricked Lu Zhi’s body.
It was clearly very painful, but he did not make a sound again. He only held the edge of the wooden bucket with his hand.
Jiang Yining admired him even more. She had thought that this young master of the Lu family was just a pretty face. She did not expect him to have such endurance.
The pain of treatment was much stronger than the onset of the disease.
For example, the pain of a woman giving birth was equivalent to breaking twelve ribs at the same time, and the pain when he was being treated was two levels worse than that.
Moreover, as the number of treatments increased, he would feel more and more pain in the future.
“If it hurts, bite this towel.”
Jiang Yining took a clean white towel and was going to stuff it into his mouth.
Lu Zhi shook his head gently and unintentionally brushed his lips against the back of her hand.
Jiang Yining was stunned.
