Lin Wuchen tried to explain, "Ah Ci, listen to me, it's not what you think."
Su Shunci chuckled and cast a distant gaze on Lin Wuchen's handsome face.
"Didn't my third cousin write to Bai Youxin several times, mentioning the marriage?"
"Or was it that my third cousin didn't get close to me when he was proposing to Bai Youxin?"
"Or can third cousin give me an explanation? I'm listening."
Lin Wuchen wanted to explain, but subconsciously, he didn't want to tell Aci these unbearable things.
Seeing his conflicted expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't, Su Shunci suddenly didn't want to know anymore.
"My marriage has nothing to do with my third cousin, please go back."
After saying that, Su Shunci stopped looking at him and turned to walk towards her own yard. The moment she turned around, tears flowed down her cheeks again. She didn't wipe them away for fear of being noticed.
Lin Wuchen stood there until he could no longer see anyone, then he turned around and said goodbye to his aunt.
After leaving Prince Ning's Mansion, Lin Wuchen did not go to look for Xue Yuan, but instead drank up the half jar of Huadiao wine that the two of them had left.
The next day, Lin Wuchen, who had a splitting headache, woke up early and ordered someone to prepare a car to go to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Yesterday, Ah Ci made it clear that he was not happy with this marriage, but he had not yet told his aunt and Aunt Lian.
He planned to tell his aunt today, find some faults in Xue Yuan, and tell her that this marriage was not suitable. As for Xue Yuan, he just had to say that Prince Ning's Mansion did not want Su Shun and Ci Yuan to marry.
But when he arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, he found out that Su Shunci had a high fever last night.
At this moment, Lin Wanyin, Bai Sulian and Shen Yue were all guarding in Su Shunci's yard. They said that the fever had just subsided after taking medicine.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wuchen immediately walked quickly towards the inner courtyard, his heart in his throat all the way.
What he wanted to do most now was to slap himself twice. If he had been more alert at the beginning, he would not have been tricked into doing this.
He started traveling around the country with his father and brothers when he was thirteen years old. The only time he was plotted against, it cost him his life.
Qinyuan, where Su Shunci lived, was not far from Lin Wanyin's plum garden, separated by a small garden.
Lin Wuchen entered Qin Garden, but was not allowed to enter the inner room, so he had to ask the maid to go in and report.
"Cousin, come to see Aci?" Soon, Shen Yue came out.
Lin Wuchen nodded and asked hurriedly: "How is she? Why did she suddenly have a fever? What did the doctor say?"
Shen Yue invited Lin Wuchen to the hall next to her, and explained as she walked: "The maid who served her last night found that she had a fever, but Ah Ci was afraid that her family would worry, so she didn't allow her to call a doctor."
"She didn't go to the Plum Garden for breakfast this morning, and my mother sent someone to check on her. The doctor has already prescribed medicine, and her fever has gone down an hour ago."
"Maybe she caught a cold at night, but the doctor said it was caused by depression. Has she encountered difficulties in her business recently? Why is she depressed?"
Shen Yue motioned for Lin Wuchen to sit down and asked someone to serve tea.
Just after giving the order, Lin Wanyin also walked in and asked the same question as Shen Yue.
Lin Wuchen's heart was broken, but he couldn't say a word. He could sense Su Shunci's feelings, but he didn't dare to think about it at all, let alone expose it.
"Would you like to ask Mr. Zhou to come and take a look?" Lin Wuchen asked.
Lin Wanyin shook her head and said, "The fever has gone down, so it should be fine."
Lin Wuchen lowered his eyes and thought, wanting to tell his aunt that he was going to see Ah Ci, but it was against the rules.
Just when her heart was in a knot, Feng Ye, the maidservant beside Lin Wanyin, hurried in and said, "Oh no, the fourth young lady has a fever again."
Lin Wuchen stood up after hearing this and said, "I'll go and invite Mr. Zhou."
He didn't even bother to look at Su Shunci and walked out quickly.
Mr. Zhou still lives in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, so Lin Wuchen went directly to the Shen family.
Without notifying anyone, he went straight to Mr. Zhou's yard.
There were not many people in Mr. Zhou's yard, only a little maid drying medicinal herbs in the yard.
This little maidservant was a maidservant of the Shen family. Shen Zhixiu asked her to take care of Mr. Zhou's daily life. But Mr. Zhou didn't need anyone to take care of him, so he ordered her to dry medicine and grind powder all day long.
Seeing him come in, the little maid hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Lin San, the prince is making medicine inside, no one is allowed to disturb him."
But it was too late for her to speak, Lin Wuchen had already pushed the door open and walked in.
Mr. Zhou was frowning at this time, as if he had encountered some difficulties.
When he heard someone coming in, he turned around and got angry.
But when he saw clearly that it was Lin Wuchen, the anger on his face disappeared.
"Your Highness, please come with me to Prince Ning's Mansion. Ah Ci has a fever. It went down after taking medicine for a while, but then it came back again."
Mr. Zhou stared at Lin Wuchen for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
He ignored Lin Wuchen's words, grabbed his wrist and pulled him closer, "You came at the right time, lend me two drops of blood."
Lin Wuchen was stunned, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to joke around, human lives are at stake."
Mr. Zhou said unhappily, "This is a matter of life and death for me. I'm short of an ingredient for this medicine, and boy's blood is just right. I don't want more, two drops will be enough."
He had been thinking about this prescription all morning, and just now a flash of inspiration came to him, and he suddenly figured out what was going on.
Lin Wuchen smiled bitterly and said, "Don't make fun of me, Your Majesty. If you want to find a boy, you have to go outside and find an underage boy."
"Besides, I've already had sex with you, so don't delay Mr.'s medicine making."
Mr. Zhou explained, "I don't want a boy, as long as he is a man whose essence has not dissipated."
He looked at Lin Wuchen suspiciously again, "You slept together? With a ghost?"
Lin Wuchen was puzzled, "What does your lord mean by this?"
Mr. Zhou grabbed his wrist, felt his pulse with his fingers, and said teasingly, "Third Young Master, are you in a hurry to find a wife? Are you dreaming? I have been practicing medicine for many years, so I am sure of this. You must have never had sex with anyone."
An ordinary doctor would not be able to tell whether the boy was a virgin or not. But he was originally a witch doctor, so he did not even need to feel the pulse.
Having said that, without waiting for Lin Wuchen to react, he pricked Lin Wuchen's finger with a silver needle, and two drops of blood dripped into the porcelain bottle.
After this injection, Lin Wuchen's mind instantly became clear.
He held Mr. Zhou and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what the prince said true? Did he lie to me?"
Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why would I lie to you? By the way, who did you say was sick just now?"
Lin Wuchen hurriedly said, "Aci is ill. Your Majesty, please follow me to Prince Ning's Mansion."
"What happened to the girl from the Su family? Let's talk while we walk."
Mr. Zhou took the silver needle and left the Shen family with Lin Wuchen.
