After dicine Farr Star successfully cured Xiahou Huai Gui’s strange illness, her reputation among the elite of Xia Country quickly rose.
Through their word of mouth, dicine Farr Star’s image has been mythologized, and she had long since beco a more formidable doctor than the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, Ye Mingluo.
They all firmly believed that no matter what rare and difficult disease one might have, as long as dicine Farr Star could be called upon to diagnose it, there was a ninety percent chance of survival.
Therefore, once news of dicine Farr Star appearing in West Continent City got out, those wealthy nobles with terminal illnesses would undoubtedly break through the doors of the city.
No wonder dicine Farr Star would emphasize specifically that her whereabouts must not be disclosed to outsiders.
Jiang Heng was worried that if he angered dicine Farr Star, she wouldn’t be willing to treat Bai Xuan. Facing dicine Farr Star’s demands, Jiang Heng could only comply.
Fearing any mishaps, he didn’t even inform Bai Xuan about it.
But Jiang Heng was a cautious and ticulous person; he couldn’t possibly go to Dongyang Mausoleum alone to obtain the dicine.
After all, he didn’t truly know dicine Farr Star’s real identity. What if she was his arch-enemy, waiting for a chance to take revenge? Wouldn’t he be walking into a trap?
After pondering for a mont, Jiang Heng finally decided to bring two Death Servants nurtured by the Jiang Family along with him.
Death Servants had signed a life-and-death contract with the Jiang Family, sworn to absolute loyalty to the Jiang Family. They were Jiang Heng’s most trusted individuals.
Better safe than sorry.
On this day, Bai Xuan also received a call from her mother, Jie Siyu.
On the call, Jie Siyu told Bai Xuan, "Xuan’er, tomorrow is your father’s anniversary, and I must go pay my respects to him. You’ve just married and ford your own family, and you should take Jiang Heng to pay your respects to him."
"But since you’re not feeling well and it’s inconvenient for you to travel, he wouldn’t bla you. You should ask Jiang Heng if he wants to accompany to pay respects to your father?"
Jie Siyu held more reverence than warmth toward Jiang Heng and dared not make decisions on his behalf without his consent.
In everything, she must seek Jiang Heng’s opinion.
Hearing this from her mother, Bai Xuan suddenly realized that her father’s anniversary had co around again.
Bai Xuan didn’t imdiately consent, but said, "I need to ask Ah Heng first. You know how busy he is with work; he might not have the ti."
"Alright, ask him first, and I’ll wait for your call."
"Okay."
Recently, Jiang Heng’s anemia had worsened, making him work from ho more often, and he happened to be at ho today.
Bai Xuan went to the study and gently knocked on the door, asking softly, "Ah Heng, can I co in?"
Jiang Heng’s voice ca from inside, "Just a mont."
Hearing this, Bai Xuan quietly waited outside the door.
After two or three minutes, the door was finally opened. A guard stepped out from the study, and upon seeing Bai Xuan, he nodded to her and said, "Good afternoon, madam."
After greeting her, he left.
Bai Xuan watched his departing back and noticed a black ’Jiang’ character tattooed on the back of his neck, realizing he was a Death Servant guard of the Jiang family.
Jiang Heng would only avoid her when discussing confidential matters with the Death Servants.
Bai Xuan wasn’t very concerned about Jiang Heng’s work or the Jiang family’s secrets. She only cared about whether Jiang Heng was loyal to her in feelings and if he had any mistresses outside.
As long as Jiang Heng didn’t cross her bottom line, Bai Xuan could forever remain a gentle and considerate young lady of the Jiang family.
Jiang Heng heard the commotion of the Death Servant greeting Bai Xuan, realizing Bai Xuan had been waiting outside the door. "Xuan’er, co in."
Only then did Bai Xuan step lightly into the study.
She noticed Jiang Heng seed quite pleased, and her mood lightened with his. "Ah Heng, did sothing delightful happen?"
Jiang Heng leaned back relaxedly in his executive chair. Hearing Bai Xuan’s words, he lifted his right hand and beckoned her over, "Xuan’er, co over here."
Bai Xuan flitted over like a delicate butterfly and settled on Jiang Heng’s lap.
She leaned softly against Jiang Heng’s embrace, asking him, "What exactly happened that’s so pleasing?"
Jiang Heng was a man who seldom displayed his emotions, so for him to show emotions outwardly, it must have been sothing significantly pleasing.
Jiang Heng, unable to reveal news about dicine Farr Star, only said, "A matter that has troubled for a long ti finally took a promising turn. I’m very pleased."
"Is it inconvenient to share the details with ?" If it was inconvenient, then Bai Xuan wouldn’t press for details.
"In a while, you’ll know." Jiang Heng, holding the gentle-bodied Bai Xuan, softly inquired, "Is there sothing you wanted to talk to about?"
Only then did Bai Xuan rember the important matter.
She said, "Tomorrow is my father’s anniversary, and my mother ntioned that since we just got married, I should bring you to pay respects to him. Also, let him see what an outstanding son-in-law I chose for him."
