After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 126: Throbbing Heart

The golden light from the burning candle shone on the man's profile, revealing his shiny white earlobes, graceful cheek lines, plump and moist lips like pomegranate flowers, and eyebrows that were more graceful and elegant than those of an ordinary woman - these were all very beautiful, but the most beautiful thing was the focused, serious and concerned look in her eyes as she treated his wounds.

The eyes that were originally as dark as the night suddenly became as bright as the day and sparkled like stars.

Noticing that his wounded man had woken up, Lin Shuning tied the last knot and looked up at him: "Awake? How do you feel?"

Gu Wen's eyes flickered, and he tried to stand up quickly, but his movement pulled on his wound, causing him to gasp in pain: "Hiss——"

"You're seriously injured, so you should lie down and rest. Don't move. I've already sent someone to your house to pass on the message. Before that, just wait for them to pick you up," Lin Shuning said, stuffing the two packets of herbs in his hand into his. "This is the medicine I prescribed for you. Don't worry about taking it. It will invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. I guarantee that you'll be as lively as before in seven days."

Gu Wen stroked the rough medicine paper with his fingertips, his eyes a little dazed, and after a while he slowly spoke: "Thank you Miss Lin, but why are you here?"

"Me?" Lin Shuning pointed at himself and made up an excuse: "When my maid and I were out for a walk, we happened to meet you on the road. As a doctor, I couldn't just stand by and watch you die. At that time, there was only this clinic around, so I brought you here. Fortunately, the shopkeeper was kind and agreed to let me treat you here."

During the conversation, Lin Shuning praised himself calmly.

Originally, she had not planned to leave the Shangshu Mansion after returning there, but as she thought about the upcoming expansion of the clinic, she decided to come and inform Zhang Bo and Liuzi and the others so that they could prepare in advance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the gate of Liufang Hall, she was recognized by the common people, and they asked her to save the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in a hurry. So she had no choice but to agree and use the opportunity to promote her own clinic.

When she found Gu Wen, his face was covered in blood and even his eyelashes were covered in blood. He was covered with scars, so many wounds that she didn't know where to start. She asked someone to carry him in. He looked so weak and miserable, like a seriously injured animal.

She didn't know what he had been through or how long he had been in the "bloody battle". Given his status and temperament, how could he have been injured to such an extent unless he was willing to be tied up?

Who on earth could allow him to do this?

"Thank you Miss Lin for saving my life. I will repay you in the future." Gu Wen struggled to stand up and bowed to Lin Shuning respectfully and sincerely.

His face was now covered in bruises, and the cloud-blue cloth shirt he was wearing was tattered and dirty. Although he looked a little disheveled, his elegant and gentle temperament was still intact. His handsome demeanor reflected in his starry eyes was like bamboo and pine after the snow. Just looking at him made people sigh that he was as kind as jade and unparalleled in the world.

Lin Shuning raised his eyebrows. He had just been busy treating the wound, but now he realized that Gu Wen looked in good condition.

She showed a sly smile: "You're welcome. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, but..."

Lin Shuning stretched out his hand to him, opened his palm and made a pinky promise.

Gu Wen was puzzled: "What...does it mean?"

Lin Shuning made a "tsk" sound. Why is this person so rude?

"The money for your treatment, prescription and medicine adds up to twenty taels of silver. I'll give you a discount and just give me ten taels."

Lin Shuning stared at him steadily, then moved closer, narrowing his eyes dangerously: "You're not going to default on your debt, are you?"

"how come!"

Gu Wen suddenly looked into her eyes at such a close distance. The faint fragrance of the girl penetrated into every pore of his body so vividly and richly that he felt his heart was about to skip a beat.

He waved his hands quickly. He didn't know if he was afraid of being misunderstood or for some other reason, but his face and neck turned red instantly, just like a cooked shrimp. "I just didn't react for a moment. What do you mean?"

As he said this, he reached for the purse at his waist, but found nothing. He became anxious and searched his arms up and down, but still found nothing.

He raised his eyes stiffly and met Lin Shuning's scrutinizing gaze, his face showing embarrassment: "Maybe it fell during the fight just now. When the servant comes later, I will give it to Miss Lin immediately."

"It's okay, no rush." ​​Lin Shuning smiled and straightened up. "Master Gu, I'm a little curious. Who dares to attack you openly? Do you think life outside is too free and want to experience a different life in prison?"

Gu Wen frowned, his long eyelashes were dark, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "He is just an acquaintance."

Lin Shuning nodded meaningfully: "No wonder..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and a servant dressed in coarse linen rushed in from outside the door, crying and shouting: "Sir, sir, how are you?"

He rushed to the bedside, pulled Gu Wen up and down to examine him carefully. Seeing the wounds on his son's body, snot mixed with tears flowed into his mouth: "Who is it? Who is so bold to lay hands on the adults! Report to the police, we must catch this shameless thief!"

"Potato, this is a clinic, no noise is allowed."

Gu Wen's tone was slightly reproachful. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and threw it to Potato: "Wipe it off, don't let outsiders laugh at you."

Potato sobbed and blew his nose with a handkerchief, hesitating to say: "Sir..."

Gu Wen seemed to know what he was going to say and raised his hand to interrupt him: "It was Miss Lin who saved me. Do you have any silver on you? Pay Miss Lin ten taels of silver."

"Huh?" Potato was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly took out his purse from his arms, took out the silver and handed it to Lin Shuning, saying gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, for saving my master."

Lin Shuning shook his head and returned the five taels of silver in his hand: "I just miscalculated, it's five taels."

She originally thought that as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Gu Wen must have some assets, and the cloth shirt he wore was just a low-key gesture.

It was not until she saw his servants that she finally understood that Gu Wen was not low-key, but was really poor.

She was soft-hearted and cut the original price in half.

Tu Dou took the silver and was about to put it back into his pocket with shining eyes, but was stopped by Gu Wen.

He looked at Lin Shuning seriously and said, "It should be the right price. Otherwise, it would be unfair to other patients and would waste Miss Lin's energy."

Potato quickly reacted and agreed, "Yes, my master is right, Miss Lin, you should accept it."

Seeing that the two men were so persistent, Lin Shuning didn't say anything more and accepted the silver.

"It's getting late, Miss Lin, please go back as soon as possible. Do you need me to send someone to take you there?" Gu Wen asked considerately.

"No need. Lian'er and I can just walk back," Lin Shuning waved his hand and looked at the two tall and strong servants of the Gu family standing beside him, and said, "You'd better prepare a carriage and carry him on it."

"No need for that," Gu Wen refused. He rolled over and got off the ground with difficulty. He tidied up his clothes regardless of the pain in his body, and then bowed to Lin Shuning. "These injuries are not worth mentioning. Just rest for a few days."

Lin Shuning frowned: "You'd better not be so stubborn. Your calf bone is prone to fracture. If you don't take good care of yourself, you may become a cripple."

When Potato heard this, he was immediately shocked: "What?"

He immediately used his hands and feet to push Gu Wen back: "Sir, we must listen to Miss Lin and don't move."

Gu Wen did not expect it to be so serious. After hearing Lin Shuning's warning, he lay down obediently and stopped moving.

Lin Shuning raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Master Gu, I'll leave first. Goodbye."

Gu Wen raised his eyes and looked at the departing figure, his heart beating violently.

The girl's smile, as she tilted her head, was like a rare flower blooming at midnight, exuding a subtle, sweet fragrance. Her expression was a strange mixture of the cunning cuteness of a little fox and the generosity and brightness of a mature woman.

The fingers she moved lightly on his wound were as gentle as fingering flowers, and her heart seemed to be flowing through a stream of green grass in April, clear and leisurely, and her senses and soul trembled.

Rippling, winding, tender, gestures like falling petals, mood like planting flowers.

He pursed his lips, his eyes flickering.

The beating he suffered today was not in vain.

……

The moon is bright and the wind is clear.

The cold moonlight reflected on the puddles on the ground, adding a bit of brightness to the dark streets.

Lian Er held a lantern and walked side by side with Lin Shuning, answering her question: "Miss, you guessed right."
