Gong Jiu inwardly came to an understanding. Most likely, this one was the true reason why the Luo family third young madam invited him over.
He nodded in agreement.
Gong Jiu took Min Xiao Yuan’s pulse. It indeed has been dragged out for a bit long, the illness not completely cured, the body also a bit damaged, “Where’s the previous prescription? Let me have a look.”
Min Xiao Yuan’s servant girl hastily went back to fetch.
Gong Jiu held the prescription, and after looking over, crossed out two ingredients, separately adding three, also changing the quantity for two of the ingredients by increasing one and decreasing the other a little. Afterwards, he separately prescribed another medicine. “This prescription, take today, and the next day, the symptoms for the most part can all go away. Afterwards, continue taking for two more days. The other prescription is for nursing the body. After taking about three doses, it should more or less be enough. Additionally, it’s just the diet.” Gong Jiu briefly explained some things to avoid.
Min Xiao Yuan’s mama collected the prescription like a treasure, greatly thanking Gong Jiu. It was just that Gong Jiu’s words carried a calm confidence. There weren’t many doctors that dared to say, after taking the medicine for however long, there will just be the desired effect, and how long until recovery. He himself didn’t think anything of it, but when others hear, they nevertheless can sense a great confidence. Someone from a qinwang manor, whose confidence comes from strong abilities and not conceitedness, even if appearing young, one still didn’t dared to look down on.
Gong Jiu responded a few words, and then returned to Jin Qinwang Manor to report to Jing Wan.
Gong Jiu right now was no longer a shadow guard, his entire mind all placed on improving his medical skills and researching things. Because he’d seen Min Xiao Yuan before back in Jiangnan, and shadow guards for the most part have the special ability to remember people, that’s why he immediately just knew of Min Xiao Yuan’s identity. Just, right now, the matters outside have nothing to do with him, so he didn’t know her relationship with Sun Yi Lin. In front of Jing Wan, he also just reported the facts.
Min Xiao Yuan, who should have nothing to do with the Luo family and Sun Yi Jia, never mind moving into the Luo Manor, Sun Yi Jia even specially invited Gong Jiu over for her, so how could it not make Jing Wan baffled. It didn’t matter if it was others, but since it involved the Luo family, she certainly can’t ignore, so naturally ordered someone to go have the matter understood clearly.
And at this time, Sun Yi Lin also learned what his younger sister did. Facing Sun Yi Jia, he was silent without a word.
Sun Yi Jia, seeing him like this, couldn’t help but get angry again. What’s worse was that right now, she simply couldn’t make out the slightest emotion from him, so naturally had no way of guessing his thoughts.
“Fifth brother, what you’re thinking, we are all well aware inside. Some words, I’m also too lazy to say more of. In any case, if you’re able to think clearly, then without saying anything, you can also think things through, but if unable to think clearly, or don’t want to think clearly, then no matter how much I say, it’s also a waste of energy. That’s why, you best take care of it yourself. In two days, why don’t you two leave the capital. Seeing you like this currently, quite annoying. Right now, I’m also pregnant. If unable to see you, then can also avoid worrying for you.”
Sun Yi Lin stared at Sun Yi Jia, and a moment later, finally lightly opened his mouth, “Little sis, some things, already can’t go back. ———En, I’ll listen to you. In two days, I’ll just leave the capital with Miss Min and have her sent back home. You also take care of yourself.” Without saying more, he directly got up and left.
Sun Yi Jia frowned. She felt that her fifth brother had another meaning in his words, faintly feeling a bit uneasy inside.
Jing Wan very quickly just learned what she wanted to know. After her initial astonishment, she was actually quite happy.
Because the information passed to her was all just plain straightforward narration of the facts, having the matter explained clearly, this just led to assuming the personal emotions based on the literal information. That’s why, in Jing Wan’s eyes, Sun Yi Lin had finally put her down, finding true love, so of course it was a joyous matter.
Sun Yi Lin was young and promising to begin with, if able to not hang himself to death on her, then it couldn’t be better. And her own husband also won’t need to randomly eat flying vinegar. It truly was good for everyone.

Afterwards, Jing Wan reflected upon herself again. Last time encountering the other party at the Ding Duke Manor, her reaction seemingly was too drastic. He and that Miss Min were long acquainted, so presumably at that time, he’d already put her down. It was her that had thought too much.
In the future, when meeting again, she can also naturally greet the other party.
However, Jing Wan also overlooked one thing. If they really did have mutual feelings, why didn’t Sun Yi Lin and Min Xiao Yuan marry already? However, even if thinking of this, she probably would also just think that right now, because their status had a relatively large disparity, there certainly were still obstacles.
Jing Wan happily had the news shared with Li Hong Yuan, just short of clearly telling Li Hong Yuan, in the future, you don’t need to eat vinegar anymore.
Li Hong Yuan smiled, yet the depths of his eyes were a bit unpredictable, even carrying a bit of ice cold. He caressed Jing Wan’s face. His wife really was becoming increasingly silly. “There’s still one more.”
“Hey, don’t make trouble out of nothing.” Jing Wan angrily glared at him.
Chen Zheng Min right now was already about to become a father. Of course, it certainly won’t be from Li Ru Yu, but rather from a concubine, someone that once wanted to climb his bed in the Chen family’s first branch. And now, they finally got what they wanted. As for Li Ru Yu’s situation, it actually has never been that great.
Li Ri Yu had lost her junzhu title, and Cheng Junwang Manor was also increasingly declining. Chen Zheng Min had already came out of the Hanlin Academy, taking advantage of the vacancy in the Ministry of Revenue and directly climbing to a low fifth rank. His momentum was perfect right now. Reasonably speaking, if he wants to directly divorce Li Ru Yu, it also wasn’t a problem. The excuse was actually very easy to find. However, he just didn’t. It was obvious, Chen Zheng Min right now was no longer that ‘pure’. Li Yu Ru had ruined his marriage, so he will have Li Ru Yu stay in hell for the rest of her life, living worse than death.
(T/N: I could’ve sworn Cheng Junwang had gotten demoted to a duke, but I’m also too lazy to go back and check.)
Chen Zheng Min ultimately wasn’t the same as Sun Yi Lin. He was his family’s hope, the backbone, having the duty to carry on the family line. He also couldn’t bear to let his elders lament all day, and couldn’t bear seeing his mother and grandmother wipe their tears from time to time.
Besides, after having skin to skin intimacy with Li Ru Yu, some things, he already didn’t have the right to think about anymore. After ‘thinking things through’, physically, he just became somewhat ‘unrestricted’. He had three formal concubines, and numerous tongfangs that couldn’t be counted on one hand. However, no matter how it was physically, his heart was nevertheless increasingly cold. Even the so called bedroom rites also wasn’t able to make him have the slightest change, and after the deed, he would just directly leave. Never mind something like tenderly embracing, when leaving, his clothes weren’t even that messy. And the women that did it with him, their clothes similarly didn’t become that messy.
According to them, before the deed, there wasn’t affectionate care, just simple and crude, directly entering the main topic. Never mind kissing, they never even once held hands. Regardless whether it was the concubines or the tongfangs, it was all like this.
Why did he have that many tongfangs? Because his concubines couldn’t stand this attitude of his. That wasn’t pleasure; that was torture. Since they didn’t want to suffer, they naturally would just find someone else to take their place.
When it comes to having a peaceful rear court, Chen Zheng Min was also among the top.
Chen Zheng Min’s attitude was just like doing it merely for the sake of completing a duty. And the way he conducted himself increasingly leaned towards a qualifying scholar official. If no one deliberately blocks his path, then Chen Zheng Min in the future will undoubtedly become a powerful official.
Speaking of which, how did Jing Wan know these things? Li Hong Yuan was able to block the people by her side, but can he even block Luo Old Madam?
Of course, regarding Chen Zheng Min, Luo Old Madam only knew about the situation roughly.
Speaking of which, Luo Old Madam had also regretfully sighed. The changes truly were too big.
It was obvious, Chen Zheng Min also became a scum in Jing Wan’s eyes. However, it also didn’t have anything to do with her. Sometimes, perhaps because of external forces, the original path got forced to change, but after that, how to walk, it actually still depended on oneself. Since one made the decision, then need to take responsibility for one’s choice.
If Jing Wan still had a bit of guilt because Li Hong Yuan had schemed against Chen Zheng Min, getting him that kind of a wife, then after hearing Luo Old Madam’s words, the guilt also just dissipated. She originally didn’t pay attention to begin with, so at the time, she just directly told Luo Old Madam, that is nothing more than just a relative of the Luo family, so no need to specially tell her. It was quite boring.
After Chen Zheng Min did those things, Li Hong Yuan actually didn’t mind him that much anymore, because he was the most clear about what kind of people his wife particularly disliked. And Chen Zheng Min is probably also too embarrassed to think of Jing Wan anymore.
——-
Sun Yi Lin sure enough left the capital two days later with Min Xiao Yuan, seemingly as if no longer having any ties with the matters and people in Qi Yuan’s capital. At least, for the time being, it will be like this.
But, in reality, was it really like this?
Often times, to prematurely come to a conclusion when it still hasn’t reached that step, it truly was too early.
The matter of the assassins already didn’t have anymore news. Le Cheng Emperor’s temper was getting worse and worse. Then again, it made sense. Because they were unable to find out anything, that’s why, right now, the imperial palace made him very much not have a sense of security.
Not only did Yu Zhong Qing, who still hasn’t fully recovered, receive Le Cheng Emperor’s punishment, even Li Su Yan wasn’t able to be spared. One has to know, in the past, Li Su Yan has never made any mistakes before, yet this time, he similarly was punished severely. It more or less made people alarmed.
Just, half a month later, Li Hong Yuan received news. The people watching Sun Yi Lin had ‘lost’ the person.
That’s right, even Min Xiao Yuan. Li Hong Yuan’s people completely lost track of their whereabouts.
Li Hong Yuan’s complexion was a bit unpleasant.

Ugh i feel bad for Chen zheng min’s concubines and tongfangs. Those poor girls. That must hurt a lot and they can’t even refuse. He basically became a serial rapist. I hope he dies horribly.
I wonder what happened to Sun Yi Lin. What did he do?? They are both sick so how could they evade LHY’s shadow guards??
Ahh all this foreboding about Sun Yi Lin is making me nervous. Can’t we all just live happily ever after? Except the emperor — that guy deserves to suffer.
