They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 277 Shameless

What husband would be so happy to arrange for his wife to remarry?

"Lingchuan, I'm so sorry, you've really gone through so much!"

"Ziyan, I know you feel sorry for me, but I will always be your husband, so nothing else matters."

Yes, they do value status.

The men around him could easily marry into an official's family and become the principal wife without any problem.

But to be his concubine is indeed a humiliation.

But there's no use thinking about it now. I should just enjoy the beauty in front of me and be affectionate with her. I should treat everyone equally.

She put the job offer aside, took his hand, and sat down on the bed in two steps.

Every night, my heart pounds, but of course, it's just touching and kissing.

After all, we're in someone else's house; it wouldn't be good if they overheard us.

Early the next morning, Wu Ziyan brought the employment contract prepared by Sima Lingchuan.

He was wearing a thick cloak and even had a scarf around his neck.

She was afraid that Han Yuxiu would see the scars on her neck.

"I'm going out, Lingchuan."

"Well, come back early."

Driving the carriage, the journey was bumpy; Han Yuxiu was the one who lived the furthest away among them.

It's because Doctor Han has already retired.

Han Yuxiu also got up early. It was especially cold after the rain, so he put on a thick coat.

He also wanted to send the medicinal herbs that had grown yesterday to Wu Ziyan today.

He was still packing in the yard when the person he was thinking of arrived.

There were no guards outside their courtyard gate; they only heard knocking.

Han Yuxiu wondered, "Who could it be so early in the morning? Could it be someone looking for his mother?"

He opened the door with a blank expression.

When he looked up and saw that face that haunted his dreams, his eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing how bundled up she was: "You're not very tall to begin with, and you're all wrapped up like a ball, I almost didn't recognize you!"

"Are you implying that I'm not welcome?"

Despite saying that, he walked into the yard with a box in his hand, and Han Yuxiu then closed the door.

Where is Dr. Han?

"So you've come to see my mother." He casually put the herbs from the yard into an oil paper bag.

This also helps prevent moisture. It's like a casual chat, with questions and answers that come and go.

"Fourth Prince." Her voice was booming, and it was clear that she was indeed vigorous despite her age.

The smiling expression on his face was exactly the same as Mo Baiyun's.

"Dr. Han, I'm sorry I arrived too early and disturbed your rest."

“I get up much earlier than you young people; I’ve already strolled around the city.”

"You rascal, why didn't you make some tea to entertain the Fourth Prince?"

"Mother! She's not without hands, doesn't she know to pour the water herself?"

"You, you!"

"Your Highness, what brings you here today?"

Wu Ziyan bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, which was indeed a great courtesy for a subordinate official.

The Korean physician quickly helped her up: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"From now on, please call me Ziyan. I've come today to pick up the employment contract and have a meeting with you."

Han Yuxiu thought he had misheard. A betrothal notice, but he didn't see her bring any betrothal gifts.

He was just carrying a box in his hand, and he kept it in his hand as soon as he entered the yard, so it looked like some kind of treasure.

Dr. Han accepted the appointment letter, which was a significant gift for Han Yuxiu's status.

Isn't this what his son has been waiting for?

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince actually kept his word, and even treated her as a concubine!

"Yu Xiu, you can decide for yourselves. It's up to you young people to decide."

"I'm old, and I have things to do. Someone invited me out for tea."

"Oh! Mother! Mother!"

Han Yuxiu was a little flustered. He had indeed been waiting, but this came too suddenly, and he was not prepared.

“Yu Xiu, Jiu’an Prefecture has been burned down. All I have is this betrothal letter. I will come to your door once Jiu’an Prefecture is rebuilt.”

The antidote bead inside the box looked dull and black, only emitting a medicinal fragrance.

Wu Ziyan didn't know its value either, but seeing Han Yuxiu's eyes light up proved that the gift was the right one!

"Don't think that just because you gave me this, I'll forgive you?"

"Huh? What did I do to upset you?"

"Why didn't you take me with you when you went on a mission to such a dangerous place as Xiao Rong?"

"It's precisely because it's too dangerous. I don't dare to bring them without some fighting skills. It's alright if I get injured, but if something happens to you, it would be the death of me."

"So that's why you brought the three of them?"

"Oh dear, Yu Xiu, please forgive me. Look at this list and see what's missing. I'll have someone fill it in later."

"I have everything I need, but I still want to enter through the main gate in a sedan chair carried by eight men."

"Of course, Lingchuan agreed to everything; he even drafted the offer letter himself."

"Alright, then I'll wait for you to come back at the manor. You're a medicinal herb, and I've already packed everything up."

"I was going to deliver it to you, but since you've come yourself, you can take it back yourself."

"Okay." She answered by deliberately moving closer to Han Yuxiu and touching his face.

Their eyes met, and Han Yuxiu glanced down, noticing the bandage on her neck again.

He said that even if someone is very afraid of the cold, they wouldn't be wrapped up so tightly.

So it was a neck injury. He put his hand on the woolen scarf and said, "Are you afraid I'll scold you?"

"Ah... yes."

"Take it off and let me see. I don't trust the packaging that was done by someone else."

"No need, it feels almost healed."

"But you haven't changed your dressing today, have you?"

"I left in a hurry and forgot."

Han Yuxiu rolled his eyes, wanting to scold her but also feeling sorry for her.

When taking off the scarf, my hands were very gentle, and when removing the bandages, I was very careful.

There was a red mark on her slender, white neck; it was unimaginable how dangerous it must have been.

If the cut were even a fraction off-center, or even a millimeter deeper, the person would bleed to death on the spot.

"Wu Ziyan, can't you take your health seriously?"

"Okay, okay, I'll take it seriously next time!"

"You'll do it again!"

It sounded more like a young couple arguing, while Physician Han wasn't going for tea at all; he was actually eavesdropping over the wall behind the back door.

The more she listened, the more a motherly smile appeared on her lips.

He carefully applied the scar-removing medicine to her, his eyes filled with caution.

Although the pain has subsided, he still applies the medicine while blowing on it.

She grasped his hand, blinked at him, and her nose and cheeks flushed.

It looked exactly like a cherry just taken out of the refrigerator. Han Yuxiu pulled his hand back: "Shameless scoundrel."

"I'm leaving."

"Don't go, can't you stay and have lunch before going back?"

"But you called me shameless, so why shouldn't I leave? Are you going to chase me away with a broom?"

Han Yuxiu stomped his feet in anger; Wu Ziyan had him completely under her thumb.

He angrily turned his head to the side, but Wu Ziyan pulled his hand back and began to coax him.

They were facing each other, her arms around Han Yuxiu's neck, their faces very close, both breathing out white vapor.

Han Yuxiu blushed and awkwardly hugged Wu Ziyan's waist.
