Ze County.
After a heavy rain, large snowflakes began to fall again from the sky.
The cold wind was biting, and after staying at the new house for two days, the Peng father and son bid farewell and left.
In the house, there was the silent worker Wei Shouzhong, and the considerate and diligent Hui Niang.
The girl regained the leisure she had after just marrying into the Wei Family.
Every day she only needed to do two things.
Keep an eye on Wei Zhao and... eat.
Yu Tingwan felt extraordinarily happy.
The wind blew open the windows, the coldness pushing away the warmth inside.
Yu Tingwan shivered from the cold, and quickly ran to close the window. After doing that, she walked back to the bed to watch Elder Ge check Wei Zhao’s pulse.
The girl’s eyes darted around, landing on Elder Ge one mont, and on Wei Zhao the next, as if deep in thought.
Wei Zhao glanced up and said, "You can leave now."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Yes, he was about to have acupuncture.
So he started to chase her out again.
After Wei Shouzhong arrived, he wouldn’t let her do even the cleaning.
He was really... quite virtuous.
He wouldn’t even let her touch him!
But there were differences too.
Wei Shen wouldn’t let her undress him, touch him, or tease him. But he allowed them to share a pillow.
Although he was initially reluctant, asking her to go back to her place.
But Yu Tingwan wouldn’t listen!
She was quite stubborn.
The girl just lay in bed, occupying his pillow, with an innocent face, but what she said left Wei Zhao speechless for a long ti.
["Husband, you’re too sensitive. I just purely want to sleep with you, nothing more."]
Yu Tingwan: ["Don’t be so petty, can’t you compromise a little for ?"]
Satisfy her!
She was really both cheeky and shaless.
Yet, the girl was unaware of it.
Seeing that Wei Zhao wouldn’t relent, she even acted pitifully and said.
["A good wife like doesn’t ask for much, is actually quite reasonable, but even the slightest neglect would break my heart. Do you know that, husband?"]
Who knows how she managed to say such things while remaining expressionless and rigid.
Even a crow could sound more emotional than her.
Wei Zhao: ...
Not a single word from Yu Tingwan’s mouth was true.
How could the girl keep coming up with new antics all day long!
He had no way to defend against her.
Wei Zhao looked at her deeply.
Yu Tingwan looked back at him fearlessly.
Between a couple, one always has to compromise.
Once again, it was Wei Zhao.
Thinking of this, Yu Tingwan smirked smugly.
She looked at Wei Zhao, "I want to stay."
Seeing Elder Ge’s grave expression, how could she not guess the risks involved in the acupuncture process?
The girl was ultimately not at ease.
But Wei Zhao was very firm: "Out."
Yu Tingwan had to resort to her old tricks and murmured, "My heart..."
Wei Zhao: "Then let it break."
???
Elder Ge furrowed his brows.
Why did it sound like flirting?
He couldn’t help but scold the General.
Yu Tingwan glanced at Elder Ge, sneaking a glare at Wei Shen.
That glance was full of grievance.
Just...
It felt...
That glance was not simple!
She was unnecessary.
Yu Tingwan pressed her lips together.
"If soone didn’t know better, they might think..."
Wei Zhao squinted: "If it’s not sothing nice, swallow it."
They might think you and Doctor Ge have so illicit affair and want , the proper wife, to clear out.
But Yu Tingwan couldn’t say that.
She was still counting on Doctor Ge to treat the man, couldn’t afford to offend him.
The girl was sensible enough and was willing to preserve the man’s dignity in front of outsiders.
She was very obedient, "Oh."
Reluctantly, she said, "Then I’ll trouble Doctor Ge."
Elder Ge wasn’t aware of the undercurrents between the couple, and chuckled awkwardly at her words: "It’s my duty, it’s my duty."
Yu Tingwan poured a cup of hot water and placed it by the bedside, so Wei Zhao could drink when thirsty.
After doing all this, she left the room, even thoughtfully closing the door.
When she left, Elder Ge still held onto Wei Zhao’s pulse, his expression graver.
Wei Zhao noticed this and asked plainly, "What is it?"
Elder Ge took a deep breath.
He said.
"There’s only one bed in this room."
Wei Zhao said nothing.
Elder Ge: "There’s a hairbrush used by the girl on the table."
Wei Zhao picked up a strand of hair from beside the pillow with his free hand.
It was a strand left by the girl.
"I sleep here with her at night, do you have a problem with that?"
Elder Ge: ???
Truly shaless.
She is a Wei Family woman!
Elder Ge recalled the girl’s radiant complexion, instead of the dark appearance, her face was like a bright hibiscus.
Such appearance, even an old man like him was struck by her beauty.
"You... You both..."
Wei Zhao: "If it’s not sothing nice, swallow it."
Joking, could Elder Ge be as considerate as Yu Tingwan?
Those in the Capital all said Wei Zhao was indifferent and wouldn’t fall in love.
Elder Ge didn’t know whether he would fall in love or not.
But as a doctor, he knew Wei Zhao’s current condition was of strong vitality in the kidneys.
It seed he had been moved emotionally many tis but restrained himself.
Elder Ge thought of sothing, then quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "I’ve overthought, even if the Wei Madam is so attractive, sleeping together doesn’t an anything. The General’s weak body can’t even walk a few steps without fatigue, how could he do anything as vile as forcibly taking soone’s wife."
Wei Zhao squinted, looking at Elder Ge with a half-smile.
Despite doing nothing, Elder Ge felt a chill rising from his feet, spreading to his whole body.
Seeing him at a loss for words, Wei Zhao snickered.
"How long will I need treatnt?"
Elder Ge responded cautiously: "In the next three months, if the General can endure, it will take three to five years for a complete recovery."
He sighed as he said this.
Truly, Wei Zhao’s health was too poor, the risks too high.
If there were even the slightest mishap...
Elder Ge dared not even imagine.
Wei Zhao blandly replied: "You have a year."
Elder Ge: ??
Bargaining for vegetables wasn’t even this ruthless!
Wei Zhao asked gently: "What, am I being too much for you?"
Elder Ge: ...
"No."
He laughed, rather stiffly: "The General’s trust in my dical skills is my honor."
Wei Zhao leaned back, his eyes calm, showing no emotion.
"Take the letter under the pillow with you when you leave."
This was important, so Elder Ge agreed earnestly.

In the courtyard.
Wei Shouzhong was sawing wood, preparing to make a wheelchair for Wei Zhao.
When Lang’s condition improves later, and the county streets are bustling, Wan Niang could take him out for a stroll, staying indoors all the ti wouldn’t do.
He was skilled in carpentry, having checked the styles at the carpenter’s shop, although it was his first ti making it, he was exceptionally adept.
Seeing Yu Tingwan exit the house, he stopped his work.
Wei Shouzhong looked at the closed door uneasily.
"Wan Niang."
He was afraid of disturbing the ongoing dical examination inside, so he lowered his voice to ask.
"Is this Doctor Ge really a military doctor from the Wei Family Army?"
Yu Tingwan: "He says so himself, it should be correct."
Wei Shouzhong: "This... he values our Lang so much, even visiting in person. Coming every day to check Lang’s pulse, let alone the days scheduled for acupuncture, more than us..."
Proactive.
Yu Tingwan’s eyes flickered.
She raised her hand to catch the snowflakes flying in the air.
lting in her palm, icy and cold.
She lowered her eyes, her tone light as a feather.
"Yes."
