Chapter 84: Propriety and cannot be killed
Xiao Tianyao is a natural overbearing and self-centered man. He is trying to learn how he will show his respect to Lin Chujiu, but it doesn’t mean that he will stop putting and hold her in his palm like a baby pet.
Whenever Prince Xiao is unhappy, Lin Chujiu’s existence seems to be less important. So, no matter how unhappy Lin Chujiu is feeling right now, Housekeeper Cao could only give her the copy of Chu Ci, the songs of Chu. And Lin Chujiu herself could only accept them.
But even though she is unhappy, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what to do. Lin Chujiu knows very well how to adjust her emotions. So, when she accepted the book. She immediately moves a stool and sits beside Xiao Tianyao to the read the “CHU CI”.
When Lin Chujiu opens the book, she noticed that the version of CHU Ci in this era is exactly the same to her era. So even if there is no punctuations inlcuded in the book, she can read them without any pressure.
Lin Chujiu is not trying her best to recite the poem properly because her listener is not an affectionate man. On the other hand, her p.r.o.nunciation sounds very clear, there are some broken sentences but Xiao Tianyao doesn’t find it reasonable to pick a fight on her. Instead, he felt like listening to her is quite interesting. And because of that, his body gradually calms down.
In the views of normal husband and wife, Lin Chujiu’s life look very difficult. But, she can completely go along with him.
Because of that, Lin Chujiu’s work increased. Everyday she need to ma.s.sage Xiao Tianyao’s legs for half an hour and then read a poem for him during his medicinal bath.
Every day, Lin Chujiu reads a poem for him for about an hour. So, after four to five days, her voice started sounded ugly. Lin Chujiu tried to pull a chance to talk about it to Xiao Tianyao. But, someone like Mo Yuer cannot just replace her.
So in these pa.s.sed few days, Mo Yuer was looking at her with her eyes that were full of resentment and dissatisfaction. As if she had stolen something very important to her.
To tell the truth, in these pa.s.sed few days, Lin Chujiu felt a little regretful. After all, she took the initiative to go to this Jing Tian Courtyard to steal a one or two stoke to heal his legs and not just to spend a moment with him. But in this four to five days, she didn’t learn anything useful to improve his case. Instead, she keeps reading and reviewing this CHU CI that simply can kill her from boredom.
If she had known that she will end up like this, she wouldn’t have come to this Jing Tian Courtyard and destroy Divine Doctor Mo’s plan to make his daughter and Xiao Tianyao closed together.
And if only Mo Yuer is not difficult to get along with , Lin Chujiu will let her to know that she doesn’t want to go to Xiao Tianyao anymore and read him a poem. But, she also doesn’t want to push her work to others.
Lin Chujiu just recovered her mind, when Xiao Tianyao suddenly said: “Let Doctor Mo give you some boiled medicine. Benw.a.n.g believes your voice will be restored by then tomorrow.”
When did he become stupid ah? Every day she reads him a poem, so does he think her throat won’t suffer?
Xiao Tianyao would like to dare and use his legs to bet. With his words earlier, Lin Chujiu would definitely do something in private to heal herself just to avoid such thing to happen.
And because of it, Lin Chujiu who knows that she cannot refuse him decided to heal her throat and maintain her voice in a good condition. Anyway, she doesn’t want to sound like an old aunt.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had pa.s.sed. This time, Divine Doctor Mo adjusted his treatment remedy. So, Lin Chujiu not only need to ma.s.sage Xiao Tianyao’s legs for hour but also ma.s.sage his upper extremities and body for also an hour.
He just want me to die in tiredness, right?
Ma.s.saging for two hours? Seriously, when did I become a professional ma.s.seuse ah?
However, Divine Doctor Mo made his words sound righteous and explain that it will help Xiao Tianyao.
Lin Chujiu herself is a doctor. So, it’s very impossible not to know if Divine Doctor Mo is deliberately making things hard for her or not. Well, she doesn’t need to bother much Divine Doctor Mo in his medical procedure. After all, if Xiao Tianyao’s legs got heal, the person who will benefited the most is herself.
But still, it doesn’t mean that Lin Chujiu doesn’t know how to express her hatred. So one day, when Mo Yuer enters the room to bring the herbs to where Xiao Tianyao is having his medicinal bath. Lin Chujiu pretended that she wants to chat with her: “Miss Mo looks so delicate and weak. I cannot imagine seeing you suffer. I’ve been only taking care w.a.n.gye for several days now but I’m already feeling tired. So, what more when you’re a.s.sisting Doctor Mo to take care all the injured patients and ma.s.saging their acupuncture points. I’m sure it must be really hard for you.”
“I never did.” Mo Yuer simply said. She is not a fool, Lin Chujiu’s words might sound very concern, but it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t understand her deep meaning. But still, it’s not really necessary to explain too much.
“Miss Mo, you don’t need to explain. I understand you, I really understand you. Gender is not important to doctors, I remember you said that. You don’t really need to mind w.a.n.gye, he’s just being stingy.” Doing this to Mo Yuer, Lin Chujiu felt really refres.h.i.+ng. After all, Divine Doctor Mo is trying to oppress her recently, but it’s actually nothing much.
You dare to bully me? Then, I’ll let your daughter lose her face in front of her beloved man.
“I never did.” Mo Yuer still replied the same words. But this time, her voice got a bit louder, as if she’s trying to emphasize something.
Lin Chujiu immediately reacted like a fool: “Miss Mo, try to lower your voice. In the capital, if you suddenly raise your voice. You will easily frighten the others. Because being loud is a very rude behavior.”
*Boom *
Mo Yuer’s cheeks immediately flushed and bite her lips as if she was wronged. Then, her watery eyes silently look at Xiao Tianyao as if she is waiting for him to say a word or two to defend her.
Unfortunately, Xiao Tianyao only closes his eyes and focus in resisting the pain he felt during his medicinal bath. So, how can he bother thinking about Mo Yuer?
Of course, Xiao Tianyao can sometimes be thoughtful, but not to Mo Yuer.
Lin Chujiu secretly glanced at Xiao Tianyao, but she only sees him frowning. This situation is enough to end their conversation, so Lin Chujiu said: “Miss Mo, I already added the herbs, do you need to do something else?” If you don’t, then leave now.
“I haven’t tried ma.s.saging acupuncture points, so I haven’t seen anyone else’s body.” Mo Yuer said, but not in front of Lin Chujiu. She was facing Xiao Tianyao.
After Mo Yuer finished, she turned around to go outside. But, because she didn’t walk so fast, she was able to hear Lin Chujiu’s words: “If she hasn’t, then how can she identify the acupuncture points to an actual person? My master taught me using a book, but he also let me practice with him. And if Miss Mo haven’t tried ma.s.saging acupuncture points, then how did she know the actual strength that needed to use?”
Lin Chujiu is talking to herself, but Xiao Tianyao who is soaking in the bath and Mo Yuer who is listening almost stumbled. After all, they understand the meaning of her words.
In short, Lin Chujiu is trying to put a mud on Mo Yuer’s face in front of Xiao Tianyao. A mud that can never be washed away.
Lin Chujiu’s mood turns good, so she happily opens the “Chu Ci” to read. And because she is feeling happy, her voice also turn very lovely. So, her listener felt good too.
Xiao Tianyao’s brow gradually relaxes and got adapted to the pain. Then, he said: “Happy?”
“Mmm,” Lin Chujiu know what Xiao Tianyao is actually asking, so she added: “w.a.n.gye, rest a.s.sured, I have a sense of propriety.” It won’t harm you, so just relax.
“Mmm,” Xiao Tianyao had no doubt about that.
Lin Chujiu is not only a reasonable woman but also a rea.s.suring one. So, if he will go to the battlefield and she was on his rear, he will feel very a.s.sured.
Of course, the most important premise is that he cannot be killed, nor defeated.
However, if he will be defeated or killed, he is sure that this woman will certainly find him away to turn the tides… …
Because she has always been so smart and sensible!
