Chapter 126: 126

—Meng Qingrou knew that she was pretending to laugh in response to He Yunxiao’s kind explanation, and that it fell under the category of good intentions. But then she remembered that when He Yunxiao had lied to her, his initial intentions had also been good.

If it was “good intentions”, then wouldn’t the deception be “innocent”?

Meng Qingrou could not understand.

All these things were so complicated.

The only thing she could be sure of now was that she was no longer as determined as she had been yesterday.

Yesterday, if she had been forced by He Yunxiao to marry into the Marquis, she would probably kill herself and vow not to comply. But today, although she will also resist desperately, she will not try to force herself to death.

Meng Qingrou even felt that if she had married into the Marquis, she would have been coaxed by He Yunxiao into giving birth to his baby, even if the wounds in her heart had not yet healed at that time.

Meng Qingrou knew that her mother did not like her father at all, but she still gave birth to herself.

Compared to her mother, she was very lucky. At least, compared to other men, there was still a little liking for He Yunxiao.

He Yunxiao didn’t know that Nanzhu, who was sitting across from him, was having a lot of thoughts because of his one joke; his attention was still on the antidote to the Soul Devouring Pill.

If the remedy for the Soul Devouring Pill was to be drastically changed, did that mean that the bowl of medicine that Xing’er had warmed would be useless?

He Yunxiao couldn’t decide this matter for himself, so he said, “Doctor Nanzhu, I have a special constitution, do I still need to drink the antidote you made before? Or should I retake the medicine and cook it again?”

Meng Qingrou put her thoughts on business and after some thought said, “Get the potion again, the previous antidote should not have had a significant effect on you.”

She took out a pen and took out paper, writing as she said, “Wait a moment, I’ll rewrite a recipe, and we’ll take the herbs according to that.”

He Yunxiao did not understand this, so naturally, whatever Nanzhu said was what mattered.

Not being able to read the prescription, He Yunxiao focused on Nanzhu’s handwriting.

When it came to writing alone, it was definitely Ziruo’s sister’s handwriting that was the neatest and prettiest.

The writing of Nanjoo highlights a word that follows her person.

Naive and innocent.

Beautiful, but unconventional.

It is impossible to tell which genre it is, but it gives the impression that “the characters are quite pretty”.

Of course, He Yunxiao’s handwriting is at the bottom of the list, no matter which female protagonist it is compared to.

The handwriting of “Dragon fighting with tiger” plus “Chicken flying with dog jumping” plus “Cunning rabbit three caves” is so good that He Yunxiao cannot even look at it without being at the bottom. (Notes: probably previous life author or something)

After Meng Qingrou wrote the prescription, she carried a bamboo basket and led He Yunxiao around the various shelves in the room.

He could not understand any of them and did not know any of them. So he followed behind Nanzhu like a dog.

Sister Du is proficient in music. Sister Zirou’s, is a talented woman, sister Jiang is a superb dancer, and Nanzhu is a divine doctor in the world.

Compared to all the female protagonists, He Yunxiao feels more and more like a loser.

Once upon a time, he would probably have said, “Yeah, I’m a loser”.

But now, he is determined to work hard to make himself worthy of the heroines.

For no other reason than to be able to say “I want them all” with a straight face!

He Yunxiao couldn’t help Nanzhu, so he took the initiative and said, “Nanzhu, let me help you with the medicine basket.”

Meng Qingrou was looking for herbs, so she listened to He Yunxiao and gave him the medicine basket.

She did not forget to instruct, “Be careful, there is only one portion of one herb inside.”

He Yunxiao took the medicine basket, and since he did not recognize which was what. But as long as he kept the medicine basket as a whole free from accidents, then it would be fine, right?

So what happened next was that Nanzhu walked in front, and He Yunxiao followed behind with the basket, giving Nanzhu a hand.

When the herbs were almost ready, Meng Qingrou intended to carry the ladder.

He Yunxiao couldn’t let Nanzhu do it herself, so he put the basket aside and moved the ladder for her personally.

Under the direction of Nanzhu, He Yunxiao leaned the ladder against a tall herb rack.

Meng Qingrou said, “You hold the ladder while I go up to get the medicine.”

He Yunxiao looked at the ladder, which was quite high when it was up, and this rack did not look sturdy. On the rack, the wood used to support it was all a bit rotten. Although for Nanzhu’s weight, these logs would more than likely hold up when she went up. He Yunxiao did not want Nanzhu to take any chances.

“It looks quite dangerous, I’ll go and get it.”

Meng Qingrou said, “Do you know what that herb looks like? It’s better for me to go and get it ……”

He Yunxiao shook his head decisively and said, “No. You tell me, I’ll go up and get it.”

Meng Qingrou knew that He Yunxiao knew nothing about medicine and was afraid that he would get it wrong, so she insisted, “It’s better for me to go.”

She did not expect that He Yunxiao, who had always been receptive to her, would not budge on this matter at all.

He Yunxiao said, “No. I’ll go. This is not negotiable.”

Meng Qingrou looked at this fierce He Yunxiao, recalling the old days, and subconsciously put her hands on her hips.

Her tone also softened uncontrollably because of He Yunxiao’s forcefulness.

In short, goaded.

Meng Qingrou beamed, “Oh, I understand.”

He Yunxiao asked, “What does the herb you want to take look like?”

“Just, a kind of sun-dried flower petals. Pale yellow.”

He Yunxiao nodded, then stepped onto the ladder. The creaking sound of the ladder swaying together with the medicinal frame added to the unease in He Yunxiao’s heart. He was not afraid that he would fall down. After all, he was a martial arts practitioner and this height was not unusual.

He was only afraid that the medicine rack would fall over and hurt Nanzhu. Nanzhu is so delicate that she cannot be hurt at all. Not to mention, she should not bleed.

“Nanzhu, you stay away.”

“I’ll hold the ladder for you.”

“I feel like this medicine rack might fall over. Be good, you stay away.”

Seeing that He Yunxiao was not afraid to use words like “good girl” to coax children. Meng Qingrou held onto the ladder and hummed, “Don’t call me that.”

He Yunxiao stood on the ladder. He found that Nanzhu had grown bolder and bolder since he had admitted his mistake to her.

She used to be docile and obedient, but now she had even learned to talk back.

As safety was at stake, He Yunxiao did not intend to coax her and said in a cross-tone, “No stubbornness. Be obedient and stay away.”

When Meng Qingrou heard that He Yunxiao’s tone was not right, she blinked, “I ……”

He Yunxiao’s tone became even harsher, “What?”

Under He Yunxiao’s gaze, Meng Qingrou was visible to the naked eye, and muttered, “Nanzhu knows.” Then she stood to the side.

He Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief and climbed up the ladder, almost reaching for the medicinal herbs, when he suddenly heard a loud sound of wood breaking. Then, the medicine rack, together with his ladder, began to tumble to one side.

He Yunxiao was speechless for a while, what a way to say that it would fall down.

But fortunately, he had asked Nanzhu to stand a little further away in advance.

Just as He Yunxiao was about to use his light weight to jump out of the way of the falling rack, he suddenly noticed a person running fast and rushing to the bottom of the falling rack.

He Yunxiao:?

He took a look.

Nanzhu!

What are you doing here?

“Nanzhu! Go away!”

He Yunxiao shouted angrily, but Meng Qingrou acted as if she hadn’t heard him, rushing towards the place where the basket was placed under the shelf regardless.

He Yunxiao cursed at the stupid girl. What’s so good about medicine that you’d risk your life for it?

Then he hurriedly used his lightning skills, pointing his toes at the ladder and the medicine rack, and swept past like a flying Peregrine.

Before the huge rack fell, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Nanzhu’s waist and legs and carried her out.

When he got to safety and put this desperate little girl down, He Yunxiao scolded under his breath, “I told you to stay away, but you still dare to go over there, do you want to die?”

Meng Qingrou held the medicine basket and said aggressively, “There’s only one portion in here. I ……”

“As precious as it is, is it as important as your life?”

“That is ……”

If not for the fact that his own lightness had been strengthened and was already the best in the world, Nanzhu would really have been crushed here today. This time, she was lucky at best to have survived the disaster.

When He Yunxiao saw that she had not only knowingly committed a foul act, but also dared to talk back, he had no intention of showing her any mercy. On the spot, he slapped Nanzhu upturned buttocks with a crunching sound.

“Slap!”

Then he said angrily, “You’ve done something wrong and you’re talking back?”

Feeling the burst of tingling in her buttocks. A burst of blush floated on Meng Qingrou’s face.

Biting her lips, Meng Qingrou held the medicine basket with one hand and shook the corner of He Yunxiao’s clothes with the other. She said, “Nanzhu knows she’s wrong. Don’t be angry, okay?”
