Chapter 167 - 126: The Overprotective Husband Is Online (Part 2)
Upon seeing the man beside her, he snorted coldly, turned his head, and continued fanning.
Yun Chunnuan gave Yelyu Lie a glance.
She let go of his hand and walked in first, "Doctor, how is Lian Qiao doing?"
He Xuanzhi replied grumpily, "Not dead!"
"About that day, I haven’t had the chance to apologize to you. But you were also wrong to suspect others without reason, right? My husband was just protective of me and punched you. Nothing wrong with that, is there?
Besides, that 100 taels of silver a day you’re getting, isn’t that considered compensation from my husband? Otherwise, you could just prescribe a remedy, cure the poison, and have someone else look after Lian Qiao."
He Xuanzhi: "..."
He turned his head in disbelief, looking at this Seventh Princess of Great Xia country.
How come he never knew she could be so eloquent and persuasive?
She could practically turn black into white!
And... husband...
Weren’t they just wishful thinking on that barbarian’s part?
"Keep staring and I’ll gouge your eyes out!"
Just as He Xuanzhi was pondering, a menacing voice sounded in his ear.
The Barbarian General pulled the Little Princess’s hand, using his tall frame to shield her behind him.
It was just like a fierce wolf protecting its food...
Seeing him made He Xuanzhi furious, "One tooth for a thousand taels, no bargaining! Otherwise, I’ll camp at your doorstep and cry out every day that Bianliao’s Mighty General hit me! Hit someone from Great Xia! And then..."
"You dare!"
Before Yelyu Lie could respond, Yun Chunnuan, fiercely protective for the first time, leaned out and chided, "A hundred taels a day, take it or leave it. If you cry out that my husband hit you, I’ll cry out that you harassed his wife! Let’s see who people believe more then, you or my husband!"
The Barbarian General was right, this doctor indeed has thick skin!
Is he used to extorting people? Once successful, twice successful, does he think he can keep doing it now?
No way! Not even a window for you!
From now on, every blade of grass and tree in this General Mansion will belong to Yun Chunnuan!
Extort money?
Don’t even think about it!
He Xuanzhi: "..."
In his impression, the Great Xia Princess was arrogant and domineering, only using her hands, never her mouth, and always held her head high, believing she was a princess, her gaze icy, as if no one could ever meet her standards.
Except for when she sees a particular person... she becomes humble as dust.
The difference between her lowly demeanor and how she treats others really makes her unlikable.
Even though she possesses extraordinary beauty, it’s just a shell.
Now, those beautiful eyes are filled with anger, even as she threatens him, she is much more lively than her previous lifeless appearance.
He even had the illusion that someone different had taken over this beautiful body?
"You bastard, still watching!"
He Xuanzhi withdrew his gaze with a face full of grievances, "You two, aren’t you bullying people! I saved a life and stayed here day and night to take care of things!
Do you know how much a house call costs? If you can’t pay, I’ll leave and you can find someone else to take care of that woman! Just pay me!"
Emmm...
Yun Chunnuan thought carefully, and what he said... seemed not wrong.
Lian Qiao’s life wouldn’t have been saved in time without him.
She did have Blood Beads, but whether they could cure the poison was uncertain.
If they only healed but didn’t detoxify, Lian Qiao would have died long ago.
Moreover, her barbarian general knocked out two of his teeth... in ancient times, there’s no such thing as dental implants.
Luckily they were canines, if they were incisors, the handsome doctor’s life would be ruined, asking for a few thousand taels wouldn’t be excessive.
The Little Princess and the Barbarian General exchanged a glance, both seeing guilt in each other’s eyes.
Yun Chunnuan coughed lightly, "At most, 500 taels for two teeth! If you don’t want it, take the silver and leave now, Lian Qiao’s poison has been cured."
The Little Princess slightly lifted her chin, she intended to be a businesswoman in the future, so how could she not calculate carefully?
And 500 taels of silver isn’t a small amount, right?
He Xuanzhi was utterly speechless. He had finally found such a big sucker in Bianliao like Yelyu Lie, who could so easily be scammed out of a fortune! But now, there’s a wife managing the household?
See how he stands behind the Little Princess with that smug look!
Tsk.
He Xuanzhi cast a deep glance at the young girl before him.
The man beside him happened to be holding an oil lamp by her side.
The dim yellow light cast on her fair and charming little face, she was wearing a pale cyan jacket with a circle of white fox fur accentuating her even more as delicate and adorable.
Her long black hair was tied high with a hairband, a lock draping her chest, with no makeup, yet incomparably stunning.
Her lips pursed, the indistinct dimples on her cheeks were very sweet, so clear and pure she looked like a Fairy mistakenly entering the mortal world.
He never knew the Seventh Princess of Great Xia could have such a side.
Probably... that person didn’t know either?
If seen, would he regret his original decision?
Forget it, what does it matter to him?
He’s just a doctor, a helpless doctor.
"Alright. The daily care fee, we’ll recalculate!" he bargained.
The Little Princess nodded in agreement, "Alright, but first you need to check on my husband’s chest injury."
He Xuanzhi: "..."
Before he could agree, the Little Princess turned to the man with a glance, and said to the handsome doctor: "You two can go to that room to check, I’ll go see Lian Qiao."
Having said that, she went directly into the room.
Facing the mountain-like sturdy man in front of him, He Xuanzhi felt timid...
That punch from the other day made him tremble even now when facing him...
As for Yun Chunnuan, after entering the dark room, she lit the lampstand and came to Lian Qiao’s bed...
