Qin Feng stood outside, his gaze filled with helplessness as he looked at Li Xiuning.
"My lord, didn't I say I was fine?"
"You say you're fine, so you're fine?"
Qin Feng, who had been busy all morning, glared at Li Xiuning irritably.
"If you're not feeling well, you should listen to the doctor. How can it be alright just because you say so?"
With that, Qin Feng turned to the old TCM doctor beside him and said with a smile,
"Esteemed doctor, I'll trouble you!"
"Lord Governor is too kind!"
After bowing slightly to Qin Feng, the old doctor followed him into the guest room. He took Li Xiuning's pulse on a table and asked a few questions.
Then,
He stood up and approached Qin Feng, a hint of apology on his face.
"Lord Governor, I observe that Madam's complexion is rosy and her pulse is normal. She should be well."
"Huh?"
Glancing at Li Xiuning, who was looking down slightly, Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then led the old doctor outside.
"Doctor, please speak frankly. This governor can bear it!"
"???"
The old doctor looked at Qin Feng in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
Speak what?
Wasn't what I said clear enough? Your wife is not sick at all!
Or are you suspecting my medical skills are inadequate?
Thinking of this,
Despite feeling a slight annoyance, the old doctor calmly said,
"Lord Governor, please forgive my inadequacy. You should seek a more skilled physician!"
"???"
Seeing the old doctor's 'ashamed' expression, Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
He's already admitting to being unskilled?
No!
I think she can still be saved. Shall we go in and take another look?
Unfortunately,
No matter what Qin Feng said, the old doctor, feeling slighted, refused to go in.
In fact,
The more Qin Feng urged him to go in, the more the old doctor felt insulted.
After all his years, he was actually brought to tears.
Li Xiuning, listening from inside the room, found it amusing, but Qin Feng, as the person involved, felt completely flustered.
What was going on?
Could that girl truly have an incurable disease?
That shouldn't be right!
She was fine the last time they met a couple of days ago. How could she suddenly be so unwell?
"No!"
"Cannot give up!"
Thinking of Li Xiuning's radiant smile, Qin Feng decisively opened the system.
"You wretched system, come out quickly! Why do summoned talents still get sick?"
"???"
The system, inexplicably summoned, retorted in bewilderment,
"Summoned people are normal people, not robots. Isn't it normal to get sick or have accidents?"
"Then isn't this cheating?!"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it!"
Ignoring the system's growing confusion, Qin Feng counted on his fingers.
"I finally managed to get a summon card, and then with great luck, I summoned a famous general from among countless warriors."
"And the result?"
"As soon as she arrived, you gave her an incurable disease. Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
"???"
The system, already somewhat puzzled, suddenly cried out like a startled cat upon hearing this.
"Impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"If you said she had a minor illness, a cold, or caught a plague in a plague-ridden area, I might believe it."
"But you're saying she got an incurable disease as soon as she arrived?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Even if the summoned person had the disease in their previous life, it would be gone after their body was reshaped!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing the system's confident words, Qin Feng asked suspiciously,
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Then help me check what's wrong with Li Xiuning."
"Li Xiuning?"
Seeing Qin Feng so adamant, the system began to have doubts.
"Where is she?"
"In the room!"
Saying that, Qin Feng pushed open the door and went to Li Xiuning, who looked bewildered.
"Xiuning, be good, give me your hand. Let me examine you again!"
"Uh..."
Although she obediently handed over her delicate hand, Li Xiuning still looked at him with confusion.
"My lord, you can also treat illnesses?"
"Of course!"
Qin Feng nodded calmly, showing no guilt for his pretense.
Unfortunately,
Even his excellent pretense was shattered by Li Xiuning's question.
"Since you're so skilled, why couldn't you see that I'm not sick?"
"I..."
Qin Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was hit by a critical blow from the system in his mind.
"Host, I suspect you're the one with the problem! Li Xiuning is so healthy, where could a disease be?"
"Uh..."
The smile on Qin Feng's face completely froze. He quickly stood up and walked out.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm absolutely sure!"
After the system grumbled indignantly, it said impatiently,
"Don't call me for trivial matters in the future, or I'm afraid my intelligence will decline!"
"..."
After cursing the wretched system thoroughly in his mind, Qin Feng became confused again.
The old TCM doctor said Li Xiuning was not sick, and Qin Feng thought he was lying.
But the system wouldn't lie to him!
But why?
Li Xiuning, who had no physical problems, was taking leave claiming to be unwell?
Was she being lazy?
But in his impression, Li Xiuning was not that kind of person.
It was truly bizarre!
With a heart full of doubts and confusion, Qin Feng re-entered Li Xiuning's chamber.
"Xiuning, since you're physically fine, why aren't you helping out anymore?"
"I don't want to help!"
"Huh?"
Qin Feng was taken aback, doubting his own ears again.
Was this the same obedient Xiuning he knew?
"I said I don't want to!"
Perhaps sensing Qin Feng's confusion, Li Xiuning, with a slight blush on her face, said earnestly,
"Why should that woman do nothing while we have to work so hard?"
"Which, which woman?"
"Who do you think?"
"I..."
Confirming his suspicion, Qin Feng felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.
"Xiuning, she is my woman, so what if she doesn't work?"
"Oh?"
Li Xiuning glanced at Qin Feng disdainfully and asked in a voice that trembled almost imperceptibly,
"Then are Yan Qi and I not yours?"
"This..."
Looking at Li Xiuning, whose face was slightly flushed with shyness, Qin Feng suddenly slapped his forehead in realization.
Even if he was slow, he understood it now.
So... this girl was jealous?
Thinking of this,
Qin Feng smiled and leaned closer to Li Xiuning, teasingly saying,
"Xiuning, you're jealous of this too? This isn't like you at all."
"Heh~!"
Li Xiuning gave Qin Feng a dismissive look, her tone full of resentment.
"The me of the past was too foolish!"
"???"
Completely stumped, Qin Feng gritted his teeth and decided to use a drastic measure!
"Xiuning, but she has already given herself to me. Do you also want to do that?"
"It's not impossible!"
"Pfft... cough, cough~!"
Caught off guard by his excitement, Qin Feng choked on his own saliva.
What did he just hear?
Li Xiuning, this woman actually said it wasn't impossible?
Damn it... is he crazy or is the world crazy?
