Zhen Xu saw Zhen Lin approaching and couldn't help but curl his lips in speechlessness. He's here so quickly?
"So it's Elder Brother. We've had quite a few so-called divine doctors visit our mansion before. As your younger brother, I'm genuinely worried you'll be deceived again. After all, you are the heir of Pingyang Prince's estate. If you're deceived again, it will certainly reflect poorly on us if word gets out." Zhen Xu, relying on his imposing physique, looked at Zhen Lin with a hint of disdain and provocation in his eyes.
Despite calling him Elder Brother, his entire demeanor showed no respect for Zhen Lin.
"Moreover, Father is not in the mansion. As your younger brother, I must help you look after things."
Zhen Xu added another sentence, making himself appear like a good brother.
Qin Yiqing subtly signaled to Yun Shu with her eyes. This Zhen Xu seems quite problematic!
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.
"Since Father is not here, as the elder brother, I must also teach you something. A man should conduct himself with integrity and speak with gentleness and conviction, not with the sharp-tongued meanness of a market shrew. You must not disgrace the reputation of Pingyang Prince's estate in front of others," Zhen Lin said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhen Xu's face instantly paled. He glared at Zhen Lin in anger, completely unable to utter a word.
Qin Yiqing wanted to give a thumbs-up. It's true, despite Zhen Xu's tall and strong build, his words were indeed not upright. A loud voice doesn't necessarily mean a strong presence, but Zhen Shizi was different. Even though Zhen Shizi wasn't as robust as Zhen Xu, and his voice wasn't loud, his words commanded respect and attention.
This is the difference!
Zhen Xu caught a glimpse of the understanding and comparison in Qin Yiqing's eyes. Since childhood, he had rarely seen such a look!
Many people had secretly commented that his mother came from a humble background, and he himself was naturally petty.
Damn it!
"If there's nothing else, go back and read more books. It will be beneficial to you," Zhen Lin directly dismissed him.
Even with Zhen Xu's thick skin, he couldn't stay any longer. He meticulously looked Yun Shu up and down. To his surprise, he found that this woman had an excellent figure!
If her face weren't inferior to Zhen Zhen's, he might have developed some thoughts because of her figure.
However, in the entire capital, there was no woman more beautiful than Zhen Zhen! And although Zhen Zhen came from a humble background, her every move was more graceful and noble than that of ladies from prominent families.
Who said coming from a humble background meant being petty? He married Zhen Zhen precisely to show those who spoke such words.
"Zhen Xu," Zhen Lin's tone turned colder. He clearly saw Zhen Xu appraising Miss Ning with an overly blatant gaze.
Yun Shu said calmly, "Shizi, the second young master of the estate probably needs his eyes treated."
Did Zhen Xu think she hadn't noticed his undisguised appraisal?
Indeed, she was bold!
Qin Yiqing suppressed a smile and looked earnestly at Zhen Xu, focusing on his eyes. Indeed, she managed to discern something. Zhen Xu's physiognomy...
He was prone to emotional hurt! And not minor hurt at that.
However, she didn't forget the main business and nodded seriously in agreement with Yun Shu, "If there is a problem with the eyes, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. If treated late, one might go blind."
The two chimed in harmoniously.
Zhen Xu's face turned ashen. He glared at them through gritted teeth, "Only villains and women are difficult to deal with! I won't bicker with you! It's best I don't find out you're a fraud."
With that, he angrily flung his sleeves and stormed off.
Zhen Lin was initially a little surprised, then a smile appeared on his face.
What they said was exactly what he had in mind.
"I apologize. I had no idea Zhen Xu would come here. Please don't let him affect your mood. It's getting late, and it's not convenient for me to go in. If you, two ladies, need anything, please instruct the servants in the courtyard. Consider this your own home and don't be too constrained." Zhen Lin said gently.
Yun Shu smiled faintly and nodded, "Alright."
"Don't worry, Shizi. If we truly lack anything or encounter any trouble, I'll come find you," Qin Yiqing said with a cheerful wave.
She had always been adaptable and could make herself comfortable anywhere.
Even during travel, it didn't stop her from treating herself well.
Moreover, now that they were staying in Pingyang Prince's estate, how could she let herself and Yun Shu suffer?
"She is my disciple, named Xiao Qing," Yun Shu remembered to introduce Qin Yiqing to Zhen Lin.
"All right, Miss Xiao Qing," Zhen Lin nodded.
Miss Ning's medical skills were so superb that she naturally had to take a disciple to save more people.
However, this Miss Xiao Qing was very clever and not afraid of people. She hadn't shown any fear when facing the imposing Zhen Xu, even giving him the illusion that if Zhen Xu and Miss Xiao Qing fought, Zhen Xu might be the one to lose.
When this thought crossed his mind, Zhen Lin found it amusing and couldn't help but curve his lips.
As Zhen Lin left, Yun Shu and Qin Yiqing were led by servants into the courtyard and then into the rooms.
There were quite a few rooms in this courtyard, all tidied and kept very clean and orderly. Everything one could think of was readily available.
"Not bad! There are enough things! They even prepared many women's clothes, all made of top-quality silk and fine material," Qin Yiqing clicked her tongue, very satisfied with what she saw.
Even the small items like teapots and teacups prepared for them were exquisite.
It was clear at a glance that Zhen Shizi and Ning De County Princess attached great importance to Yun Shu.
Good, they have foresight!
If they didn't value Yun Shu, it would be harder than reaching the heavens to find another divine doctor capable of detoxification.
Yun Shu sat down. The tea in the teapot was likely freshly poured and still hot.
After taking a few sips of tea to moisten her throat, she gestured for Qin Yiqing to place the medicine box aside, "It's getting late, let's rest."
Qin Yiqing put down the medicine box and yawned, "I am indeed feeling sleepy. I'll go to bed then."
"Go ahead."
After Qin Yiqing left, Yun Shu tapped the tabletop, her gaze shifting to outside the window, her beautiful eyes now holding a hint of depth.
On the other side, Zhen Xu returned to Yun Yueyin's presence, seething with anger.
He gnashed his teeth in rage, "Those two women are plain-looking, but they're quite daring, daring to mock me! Zhen Zhen, after this meeting, I am even more certain they are frauds!"
Yun Yueyin's mind was in turmoil. Her brows had been furrowed tightly, and only after Zhen Xu entered did the furrow in her brow relax.
Upon hearing Zhen Xu's words, she was somewhat bewildered, "What exactly happened?"
Then Zhen Xu recounted everything that had happened.
He then glanced outside, and seeing no one, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Zhen Lin gets killed by those two women! Those two women are so young, how could they possibly be divine doctors? Only those two siblings have lost their minds to believe they are impostors."
"Young?" Yun Yueyin's expression suddenly changed.
