Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 200: Let’s See If There’s a Problem With This Prescription
These words are quite overbearing, yet the voice is pleasing to the ear, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
Li Qingmu whipped his head around, looking at the petite woman who appeared behind him, eyes filled with joy.
"Yue’er, why have you come here?"
Long Yue gently lifted her delicate chin, "With such commotion here, how could I not come out?"
Do you think your wife is foolish?
Li Qingmu chuckled clumsily, looking a bit silly, but why did she like him so much?
If a man is too conspicuous outside, he’ll easily attract unwanted attention! Luckily, her man knows his limits.
Long Yue glanced indifferently at several rather attractive young girls nearby. Their gaze carried some ambiguity when looking at her man, but seeing his silly demeanor led to disappointment in their eyes.
In the Capital City, a man with nothing but looks won’t do; he needs brains. You can’t marry a fool and just use him as a decorative piece, can you?
Long Yue tossed Li Qingmu a look that said he could scram. He obediently retreated behind her.
"Madam, we... that..."
The craftsmen saw Long Yue being a bit harsh to Li Qingmu and instinctively feared, stepping back.
Long Yue smiled slightly at them, her tone making a 180-degree turn, becoming very gentle: "Are you worried that someone might retaliate against you on the other side?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Don’t worry, I’m in dire need of hands here; both at the manor and farm. They’re physical labor, but if you’re willing, come to me! I’ll protect you completely!"
As Long Yue spoke, her demeanor was bright and confident, inspiring trust.
"Is what Madame says true? That’s great, we will follow Madame from now on!"
"Indeed, we’ll follow our benefactor and Madame from now on. Whatever... our lives were saved by our benefactor, so we’ll listen to him for anything in the future!"
"Yes, yes!"
"..."
The craftsmen were elated and pledged allegiance.
Li Qingmu sneaked over to Ling Yue’s side quietly, saying softly, "You hadn’t been taking in people at the manor and farm before; turns out you were waiting for this opportunity! Only those to whom we’ve done favors are more reliable than purchased ones!"
"Of course, people’s minds are unpredictable. Bought people vary in type and personality. To figure out who is loyal and who isn’t takes time, and I don’t have that kind of leisure!"
Long Yue wasn’t like those elder matrons who specialized in training people; she was very lazy and preferred "ready-to-use" types.
Li Qingmu touched his nose and said somberly, "The manor is full of men."
Wife, you should bring some maidservants in!
Long Yue gave the man a chilly look; Li Qingmu quickly explained, fearing her misunderstanding, "The manor is full of guys; it’s inconvenient for you as a girl!"
Long Yue lightly pat him, "Don’t worry, I’ll consider it later. But as maidservants serving me closely, they must be loyal enough. Those clever and calculating ones aren’t within my consideration!"
Long Yue had seen many instances of close maidservants betraying their masters, especially when she thought of her mother and the maidservants her mother had back then, likely not good ones!
In her past life, Long Yue lived in confusion, but in this life, she became aware, seeing things clearly.
"Come with us!"
Long Yue was here to help her husband recruit people, so she took them back after gaining these craftsmen’s approval and allegiance.
Some were assigned to the farm, and others to the General Mansion.
"In the future, you will inevitably open your own manor; these people will then become the most loyal servants."
Of course, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Whether this loyalty can be maintained depends on their couple’s skills. If you are strong and keep climbing up, how can those around easily betray?
Everyone loves those in high places over those in low ones; it’s human nature!
"Um... Benefactor, there’s a doctor outside, he says... he’s an Imperial Physician from the palace..."
The messenger was a craftsman named Wang Xiaoliu, ranked sixth in his family hence named.
He was one of the younger and smarter ones in this group, but upon hearing about a doctor dispatched from the palace, his voice trembled.
Can’t blame them; they’ve never seen the scene.
Ordinary folks, where would they see nobles from the palace?
Li Qingmu was massaging his wife’s shoulders, upon hearing, said, "Alright, and from now on, don’t call me Benefactor, call me Langjun!"
"Uh, okay, okay!"
Later, an Imperial Physician with a goatee came in carrying a medicine box.
The Emperor had previously mentioned getting an Imperial Physician for him, and here he was to fulfill that promise.
The Imperial Physician briefly introduced himself, sharing the surname with Li Qingmu, though his demeanor was somewhat arrogant. But being an Imperial Physician used to serving noble patients, he somewhat held himself high, yet the couple didn’t mind.
"You’ve suffered severe injuries before?"
Imperial Physician Li, worthy of his title, had sharp eyes. Just after taking a pulse for a while, he opened his eyes in surprise.
Li Qingmu slowly nodded, "Yes, suffered severe injuries, almost died."
The royal family has a mysterious spy organization called Yulong Pavilion, and if they want to investigate something, it’s easy, no need to lie about it.
"I see... Understood!"
Imperial Physician Li stroked his goatee, showing confidence.
"You’ve suffered severe injuries and are physically weak, yet continue with journeys and exhaustive movement, you’re depleting your life force! This is what we’ll do; I’ll prescribe a regimen for your health, follow it for a while to see the effect."
"If that’s the case, I must trouble Imperial Physician Li."
The Emperor sent an Imperial Physician to check him, prescribing medication. Even not wanting to take it, he’d have to pretend.
Imperial Physician Li wrote down the prescription with ink and brush, handed it to Long Yue, "Follow this, Imperial Censor Li’s body is depleted considerably, it mustn’t be delayed!"
"Alright, thank you! Sorry for the trouble!"
"My duty!"
Imperial Physician Li stroked his beard, satisfied seeing Long Yue ordering someone to get the medicine.
"Xiao Liu, wait a moment!"
"Madam, what’s the matter?"
"Go to Baicao Lane and call my master over. No, no need to, take this prescription to Jishi Hall at Baicaoxiang and have my master check if there’s anything wrong with it?"
Long Yue had followed Duanmu Nan through two lifetimes; if she hadn’t learned even a bit of skill, she should have long died.
Glancing at the prescription, all the medicines are evidently good, but there was one thing, grilled fresh ginger.
For some reason, she felt that this grilled fresh ginger seemed wrong.
"Alright, I’ll go right away."
"Just go boldly, and when returning, let Master prepare a few health-nourishing recipes."
"Uh, okay!"
"Wife, you’re too cautious, if the prescription’s no good, we just won’t open it!"
Seeing his wife caring so much about him, Li Qingmu felt warmth spreading in his heart, truly comforting.
Long Yue slanted a look at him, her small face slightly cold, showing a bit of discontent, "The Emperor specifically sent an Imperial Physician for you, you dare not take the medicine?"
Li Qingmu just smiled without speaking.
Half an hour later, Xiao Liu returned.
