"It's so good to see you're alright. I'm happy for you too!"
Ming Xiajing's earlier displeasure was now gone.
He cupped Qin Yu's hands, gazing at her affectionately. "Yu'er, you're just too kind. I'm fine, don't cry. When you cry... it pains my heart!"
"Young Master Ming, aren't you angry?"
Ming Xiajing chuckled. "Angry about what?" Kuaishuge
Qin Yu bit her lower lip, looking like a damsel in distress. "A few days ago, Yu'er couldn't visit you. You should be angry with Yu'er!"
Ming Xiajing kissed the back of Qin Yu's hand, then said gently, "I don't blame you. It was unintentional!"
"Young Master Ming..." Qin Yu's eyes were watery, her voice soft. She bit her lip deliberately, making Ming Xiajing impatient!
If his condition allowed, he would have already been hands-on with Qin Yu!
Since he couldn't get down to business, a little flirtation was acceptable!
"Yu'er, how many times have I told you to call me Jinglang!" Ming Xiajing caressed Qin Yu's small hands, finding her more charming with every glance!
"I... I'm not married yet. How can I be so forward?" Qin Yu withdrew her hands, turning away, adopting the appearance of a pitiable young woman!
This look was incredibly alluring to the ailing Ming Xiajing!
The feeling of wanting but not being able to have made Ming Xiajing's throat dry and his tongue parched!
Ming Xiajing embraced Qin Yu from behind. "Yu'er, Yu'er... just call me once, please... be good!"
Qin Yu feigned reluctance, then softly called out, "Jinglang...!" Her voice was bewitching, the end of the word drawn out.
Hearing this, Ming Xiajing's nose started to bleed uncontrollably!
His entire body was also agitated, in a state of feverish excitement!
"Jinglang, why are you bleeding? Are you unwell? Should I call someone to take a look?" Qin Yu frowned, pretending to be worried, looking like someone heartbroken by love.
"No, don't let anyone in. I... I'm just too excited to see you!"
Ming Xiajing took the handkerchief Qin Yu offered and casually wiped his nosebleed.
"It's all Yu'er's fault. Yu'er shouldn't have come, otherwise, Jinglang wouldn't be bleeding!" Qin Yu continued to act aggrieved.
Ming Xiajing couldn't stand it anymore and hugged Qin Yu tightly. "Good girl, I don't blame you. I'm happy you came to see me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Xiajing couldn't control himself and kissed her!
Qin Yu felt disgusted inwardly!
This fellow exuded a foul odor, and she could barely stand it. Now he wanted to kiss her.
When was the last time he brushed his teeth? His breath was so bad!
What was most infuriating was... his nose was still bleeding. Was he expecting her to taste his blood?
Qin Yu dared not resist too strongly, so she pushed him away half-heartedly. "Jinglang, don't do this. You're still sick, it's not appropriate. Besides, it's daytime!"
"Yu'er, I just want to kiss you, please don't refuse."
Seeing that Ming Xiajing was about to succeed, Qin Yu gritted her teeth and covered her mouth with her hand!
Ming Xiajing could only kiss the back of Qin Yu's hand.
Just then, the door opened, and the person who appeared was Madam Ming!
Upon seeing this, Qin Yu felt a wave of relief!
She quickly got up and went to Madam Ming to pay her respects. "Yu'er greets Madam Ming!"
Madam Ming glanced at Qin Yu coldly, then looked at Ming Xiajing!
Seeing Ming Xiajing bleeding from the nose, Madam Ming hurried over.
"Xiajing, my son, what's wrong? You were fine just now, how did you start bleeding when this woman arrived? What did this woman do to you?"
Madam Ming glared fiercely at Qin Yu.
Ever since Ming Xiajing got together with Qin Yu, her precious son's health had been deteriorating!
This time it was even more severe, with boils forming and festering.
Fortunately, they met a divine doctor who provided medicine, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Mother, it's not Yu'er's fault. My body is just weak!"
Madam Ming sighed. "At a time like this, you're still defending that vixen!"
Qin Yu felt hurt hearing this. "Madam Ming, I am not a vixen. If you dislike me, then I shall leave!"
"Yu'er, Yu'er..." Ming Xiajing called out from behind, but Qin Yu left without looking back!
"Mother, what are you doing? Why did you anger her and make her leave as soon as you arrived?"
Madam Ming's face was cold. "If I hadn't come, that vixen would have surely bewitched you!"
"Look at your condition, your body is so weak... yet you still think about... you have no backbone!"
Madam Ming pushed Ming Xiajing's hand away and went to the wooden table, poured a cup of cold tea, and drank it down before slowly calming herself.
"Normally, when you are healthy, I don't care how you have fun outside. But these days, you can't. You need to recover your health first!"
Ming Xiajing knew his mother was right. Although he was angry, he didn't retort.
He lay back on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and turned his back to Madam Ming.
Madam Ming shook her head helplessly, then gave a few quiet instructions to the attendant before turning to leave.
The Zhuangyuan Mansion!
"Master, Oil Da has been brought under control by this servant!" Qingshan stood respectfully before Qin Yun.
"Did Oil Da confess everything?"
Qingshan nodded. "Yes, Master. When Oil Da was in the Qin Mansion's wine cellar, he was involved with Madam Min."
"What about the money from selling the secret recipe? How much was it, and where is that money now?"
"The secret recipes for the Autumn Fragrance and Osmanthus wine were sold for a hundred thousand taels. Oil Da received thirty thousand taels, which I have recovered." Qingshan said, producing the thirty thousand tael banknotes and handing them to Qin Yu.
Looking at the thirty thousand taels in hand, Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction. "The remaining seventy thousand taels are with Madam Min!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Now that all the evidence is in hand, as long as we pull out Qin Yu's last lifeline, Madam Min and her daughter will never have a chance to recover, hahaha..." Qin Yun threw her head back and laughed!
Qingshan and Hong Fu, standing beside her, were stunned by Qin Yun's laughter!
They suddenly realized... their Master's laughter was quite chilling!
The next day!
Consort Li sent someone to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to fetch the Ning Lu paste!
Qin Yun was very polite!
When leaving, the maidservant also slipped Qin Yun a thousand taels, as subsequent fees!
This indicated that all the women in the palace wanted her Ning Lu paste!
Qin Yun was happy to have business.
Calculating the time!
The bottle of medicated paste she gave Ming Xiajing must be almost used up.
The decoction from that prescription was very helpful in the early stages of treatment but couldn't cure him immediately.
In the later stages of treatment, it would no longer be effective.
After tonight, Ming Xiajing's boils would start to ache again!
She needed to find a way to make the Ming Mansion people find her.
"Hong Fu, after you disguise yourself, go to the Tianzi Building Inn and rent a room there."
