CHAPTER 265: CHAPTER 265: SHE IS THE LADY OF THE SOUTHERN COUNTRY!

Yun Jin grabbed the medicine, and when he came over, he saw this scene, and was so shocked that his mouth hung open for a long time.

This girl, ah, causing trouble again!

The two of them, either causing trouble or on the road to causing trouble, really no one can match them.

She glanced at her senior, his expression hadn’t changed much, as always, he remained calm and composed, as if the sky were falling, unmoved.

However, Yun Jin didn’t notice the hint of surprise that flashed in Duanmu Nan’s eyes.

"Master..."

A soft and sweet voice came from behind, melodious and pleasant, like a small brush sweeping across his heart, making him itch.

"I’m so scared... This person is so fierce, will they eat me?"

Yun Jin felt like covering his face, could this girl act more convincing?

But seeing the eggplant-colored face of Lady Xue across, why did his heart feel so immensely satisfied?

Serves you right for trying to seduce my senior, now you’re embarrassed, huh? Haha...

"You... you little fool, I... watch me not beat you to death!"

Lady Xue looked at Long Yue’s wretched appearance, she was truly infuriated, and the key point was that she was tugging at Duanmu Nan’s sleeve, standing so close to him!

She must be able to smell the faint scent that belongs solely to Mr. Duanmu’s body, right? How can this be? That’s the man she had her eyes on, how can this fool’s dirty hands pollute him?

Lady Xue gritted her teeth in anger, truly wanting to slap Long Yue to death!

But seeing the man across looking as handsome as an immortal, she still held back this fury, for if she lost her temper and hit someone, it would be nothing short of the behavior of a shrew.

No, this won’t do!

"Lady Xue, sorry, my disciple... is a pitiful person, please forgive her, but her intentions are good, please don’t take it to heart."

Duanmu Nan smiled slightly at her and gave a slight bow, the apologetic gesture was so refined that it made Lady Xue’s heart itch.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Since Long Yue was Duanmu Nan’s disciple, for Duanmu Nan’s sake, forget it!

She showed a somewhat friendly smile and said, "Since she is a pitiful person, let it be, I can’t argue with a fool, can I? It’s just that today... I’m in a mess, so it’s not appropriate for Mr. Duanmu to diagnose me now. I’ll come back another day."

Lady Xue smiled, gave a bow, and took the medicine package from Yun Jin’s hand before leaving.

But before leaving, she didn’t forget to look back at Duanmu Nan, her reluctant expression made Long Yue’s hackles rise.

"Master, who is that woman? She’s so annoying! I hate her and want to cut off her brash fox tail!"

As soon as she left, Long Yue said angrily, helping Yun Jin tidy up.

The floor was full of water, luckily the weather was warm, it would dry soon.

"Lady of the Southern Country, Xue Mingzhu."

Long Yue was holding a wooden bucket ready to put it away, and upon hearing this, clunk... the bucket fell again.

"Wh... what? Lady of the Southern Country, Xue Mingzhu?"

"Yes, you child, causing trouble again!"

Yun Jin wiped the floor, stood up helplessly, and said.

Long Yue blinked, then looked at Duanmu Nan with a look of hopelessness, "Master... you’re not joking with me, are you? Lady of the Southern Country, isn’t she the Empress Dowager’s younger sister? How come she’s here..."

Seducing my master?

Duanmu Nan said, "I’m curious about that too, but she indeed is the Lady of the Southern Country, Xue Mingzhu."

Long Yue thought back to how the master kept calling her Lady Xue earlier, well, it seems it’s true.

This Lady of the Southern Country was thought to be a tragic figure too, as the Empress Dowager’s younger sister, once one of the four great beauties of the Capital City, she ought to have been very happy her whole life, but she married Marquis Ningning, who was a short-lived ghost, and just a year later he died after she married him.

It’s said to be a sudden death, as for how he died suddenly, that remains unknown.

Long Yue had a look of bitter perplexity on her face, and Duanmu Nan softened seeing her, saying, "Are you scared? Don’t worry, Master will protect you."

"Not at all, that woman... lost her husband, she should either stay a widow or remarry, but not marrying and still chasing after other men is so annoying! Master, you are my master, I absolutely cannot let her harm you! That woman... I’ll figure out a way!"

Long Yue reached out, biting her nails, and Duanmu Nan went up to open her hand, inadvertently touching her soft lips.

That moment of soft feeling made his heart skip a beat.

He hurriedly concealed the shock in his eyes, turned his face away, and said calmly, "Don’t bite your nails, you’ll get sick."

"Ah? Oh..."

Long Yue mumbled, seemingly disagreeing, but that expression made Duanmu Nan’s heart race even more.

"Anything?"

He suppressed the faint trembling in his heart and asked.

"Bringing you medicinal herbs, Master. Look, are these herbs good? They’re plump and fleshy, cute aren’t they?"

Long Yue said, picking up a piece of Chinese yam and handing it to Duanmu Nan.

Duanmu Nan glanced at it, slightly surprised, "It’s growing well, you’ve worked hard."

"Not at all, Master, this place... it’s really small, shall we move somewhere bigger?"

"No, Yue’er, here is nice, quiet, secluded, suitable for someone like me, too much noise is not good."

Duanmu Nan took some herbal medicines and said, "I’ll take a portion, the rest you can sell to others, or even open a pharmacy, it’s a business."

"Sure, the court knows I’m growing in the medicine field, I can operate openly, those people better not try to impeach my husband!"

Thinking about making money openly made Long Yue happy, forgetting the trouble of offending the Lady of the Southern Country.

Duanmu Nan looked at her carefree appearance, couldn’t help but smile, a genuine smile never shown before.

Yun Jin beside them saw it, and couldn’t help but be amazed, her senior brother had seemed rather strange lately.

After giving some medicinal herbs to Duanmu Nan, Long Yue had him check her pulse to ensure there were no major problems, stayed for a while, and then left.

Before leaving, Duanmu Nan gave her some recent concocted medicinal powders.

"Remember to take your medicine on time, perhaps by this time next year, you’ll have a child of your own."

"Really? Haha, that’s great, thank you, Master, thank you, Mistress!"

Long Yue was unbelievably happy, unaware of the slight pang in Duanmu Nan’s heart when he said this.

Happily bidding farewell to her master, Long Yue returned to the General Mansion, and upon arrival saw Yang Zhuoya waiting for her, and the first thing she said was, "Sister Yue, the Empress Dowager is coming back from Da Xiangguo Temple!"
