Chapter 129: Reluctant Departure
toes weren't as tasty as rice, they could solve the problem of food and hunger. At least everyone could have their bellies full.Now it all depends on whether this trade route can be opened. If it can,...Mo Yunjing's movements grew increasingly gentle, and An Xuetang gradually kept up with his pace.
The two didn't know how long they stayed like that until An Xue Tang gasped for air, her face flushed red. Only then did Mo Yun Jing reluctantly let go of her.
The two locked eyes, and when An Xuetang reacted, she pushed him away, jumped off his lap, and ran out.
Mo Yunjing chuckled, amused. She would occasionally flirt with him playfully in her daily life, but she never expected her to be so shy and adorable during a real battle.
He unconsciously raised his hand and lightly touched the corner of his lips, as if there was still a trace of her taste lingering there.
After running out of the room, An Xuetang's face was still red. Just then, Ding Hua came over. Seeing her like this, Ding Hua, as a straight man, frowned and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell"
An Xuetang awkwardly scratched her head, cleared her throat, and said, "No...no, I didn't."
"Then why is your face so red Miss, are you feverish"
"...."
An Xuetang laughed and cried, she quickly waved her hand, "No, no. By the way, Ding Hua, didn't you say that Xiao Liu, that young master, agreed to sell the clinic to us for four hundred taels"
"Yes."
“Alright, saddle the horses. Let's go into the city to handle the registration and I'll check on Xiao Liu by the way.”
Ding Hua wanted to say that it was already afternoon now, and if they went to the city again, they would probably get back when it was dark.
Given that An Xue Tang looks like this, he won't change his mind. He still hurried to prepare the horse.
An Xuetang was still shy, so she didn't go to tell Mo Yunjing herself. After getting on her horse, she told Ding Yi to tell Mo Yunjing for her.
Ding Hua raised an eyebrow, it seemed his family's young lady had a falling out with her husband
The two went straight to the clinic upon entering the city.
Little Liu saw An Xuetang's figure, she hurried out to meet her, and said excitedly, "Miss An, you're finally here."
An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, "I'm here, where is your young master"
"He's in the backyard, I'll go get him."
"No need to call, I'm here." A man's voice came from the back door, and then he appeared at the doorway.
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow when she saw this playboy. With this kind of image, he certainly didn't have the potential to be a doctor.
“Are you trying to buy my clinic” The young master looked up and down at An Xue Tang.
Ding Hua didn't like that look in his eyes. He immediately stepped in front of An Xue Tang, "Sir, please discuss the transfer procedures for the clinic with me."
An Xuetang didn't intend to speak up. She only looked at Xiao Liu, "Come with me."
Xiao Liu scratched his head, glanced at the young master, then at An Xuetang, seeming a little embarrassed.
That young master seemed to have seen through her embarrassment and took the initiative to speak, "Don't look at me, this clinic won't belong to me anymore in the future. If you want to stay, you really need to please the new young master."
As soon as he said that, Xiao Liu immediately excitedly followed An Xuetang away.
Ding Hua stayed to handle the formalities with the young master.
Out of the clinic, An Xuetang looked at Xiao Liu, "Take me to your home."
Xiao Liu: …
She immediately became alert, "Miss An, you... what do you want to do"
An Xuetang smiled. "You're still so wary of me You don't need to call me Miss An anymore, just call me Sister A Tang. I know your mother is sick, let me go see her."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Liu was instantly excited, but the next second she deflated. "But...but I've already spent all my silver this month, I don't have any money to pay for the medical expenses."
"I don't want your medical expenses, just hurry up and take me there."
Xiao Liu didn't know why this An girl was so kind, but her mother's illness had lingered for too long. Now she could only take An Xue Tang to see her.
Xiao Liu's home was in the city, in a small hutong. As soon as she and her companion entered the courtyard, An Xue Tang heard a woman coughing violently.
Little Liu's face changed immediately. She didn't bother talking to An Xue Tang, and rushed into the room, "Mother, mother, is your illness serious again"
"Ahem...Xiao Liu, why did you come back at this time Ahem..."
"Mother, please don't speak. Did you drink the medicine I caught yesterday"
"Mother drank it, but it seems to have no effect. Ai-lah, from now on, don't waste money on mother like this. Mother's illness is probably incurable."
Xiao Liu choked back tears immediately, “Mom, don’t say that, I will cure you,”
An Xue Tang stood at the door and glanced around. She had figured out that this Xiao Liu was loved by her mother, at least much happier than the Xiao Liu in the 21st century.
An Xuetang felt much relieved in her heart. Since she knew that this woman truly cared for Xiao Liu, An Xuetang naturally wouldn't let her leave easily.
She coughed, "May I come in"
After she spoke, both the mother and daughter came to their senses. Xiao Liu immediately reacted, "Ah Tang sister, I'm sorry, I didn't consider you for a moment, come in quickly."
"Hmm." An Xue Tang walked in carelessly.
Xiaoliu's mother, Qin shi, smiled and nodded at An Xuetang as a greeting. "Xiaoliu, who is this pretty young lady"
"Oh, by the way, Mother, this is our new young master of the clinic and also our new doctor."
"Doctor" Qin shi was clearly surprised, mainly because in this world, female doctors were quite rare.
"Yes, Mother. Sister Ah Tang is a doctor. She came this time to see you."
An Xue Tang had already walked in front of Qin and her daughter. Qin sighed, "My illness is nothing to look at, there's no need to trouble Miss An, right"
"It's not a bother at all." An Xuetang reached out and took Qin Shi's wrist, giving her a pulse check without leaving room for refusal. "You're healthy now. Little Six can focus on her work wholeheartedly with you well. Otherwise, she would have to worry about you while also grinding medicine. If something went wrong, my clinic would suffer heavy losses."
Xiaoliu immediately raised her hand and swore, “A Tang elder sister, I promise I won’t make a mistake.”
An Xue Tang smiled. "I know."
She had already taken Qin's pulse, "This illness is serious if you want to say it's serious, and not serious if you don't. It's mainly caused by years of hard work."
The old woman had previously caught a cold and continued to overwork herself, without proper treatment, which left her with an underlying illness. In addition, the medicine you drank contained inappropriate ingredients, which led to recurring illnesses and persistent coughs.
"Xiaoliu immediately became anxious, “Sister Tang, do you have any way to treat it”
An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Have the old lady lie down, you go and boil a basin of hot water, I will now give the old lady acupuncture to resolve the stagnation in her chest. Afterwards, I will write a prescription for you to directly pick up at our pharmacy."
Little Six's eyes immediately welled up, "Ah Tang sister, thank you."
An Xuetang affectionately patted her head, "I didn't expect you to be so easily moved to tears. Alright, go boil some hot water, I'll need it."
"Okay."even issued an imperial decree for their marriage.Mo Yunjing simply ignored Cheng Ru'er. Even though Cheng Ru'er traveled a long distance to Bei Jiang just to find Mo Yunjing, he remained indifferent....
