Arch-nemesis is back again
Here is the translation:
Next, Baishi's body indeed recovered quickly. In just a few days, her complexion had some rosiness to it and she was moving about with ease. However, after being ill for so long, her body still lacked vitality, so internally she still needed to slowly nurse herself back to health. But being able to have the current situation, already made An Yan's heart bloom with joy. She couldn't help but want to follow Wangshi's example and express gratitude to the ancestors of the Bai family.
Bai's body had recovered, and everyone's attention was now focused on the Baicao Hall. Because, in three days, the Baicao Hall would be opening.
This time, An Yan didn't make a big fuss about the opening. After going through some things, An Yan's mood became more and more peaceful, and he didn't like those flashy things anymore. If it were in the past, An Yan might have invited some famous people to come and help with the momentum or asked a lion dance team to come and add to the excitement. However, now An Yan simply followed the rules of Qingcheng, on the opening day, setting off firecrackers at the door, lifting the signboard of Baicao Hall, the ceremony was extremely simple. To outsiders, it seemed a bit shabby. But An Yan felt that this was already very good.
On this day, An Yan was checking everything in the Baicao Hall to see if everything was ready. The day after tomorrow is the opening day of Baicao Hall, and she was naturally both nervous and excited. In addition to being nervous, it was inevitable that she would be overly careful. Even if everything was ready, she still had to check everything again before she could feel at ease. She was checking whether all the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet were in place, and whether the stones for weighing medicines were placed correctly, etc.
"Mrs. Su."
Just as I was carefully checking, a soft cry like spring breeze came into my ears.
Anwen turned her head to look, and saw Li Yuzhu wearing a moon-white long shirt, holding a fan in his hand. Standing at the door with a cloud-like lightness, he was truly a jade tree, with a kind of enchanting and warm jade quality that made people infatuated.
Li Yuzhu stood quietly at the door, watching as the woman lightly turned her head back. In that instant, it seemed like a gentle breeze blew by, rustling the disheveled strands of hair beside her ear. In an instant, her black locks flew about, and her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting. Li Yuzhu felt that in that moment, even breathing became difficult. The woman turned back to look at him. Her eyes were like rippling water, though she didn't have the beauty to overthrow a city. But with just one raised eyebrow and one smile, it was already enough to make people's souls flutter and dream.
It's unclear whether it was a sudden infatuation or an uncontrollable emotion that had been building up for days.
As Li Yuzhu's thoughts were floating around, An Yan had already stood up and walked towards Li Yuzhu with a gentle smile.
"How can the young master have time today?"
The beauty suddenly drew near, and Li Yuzhu's breathing instantly became lighter. It seemed that if she breathed a little heavily, she would be afraid of startling the beauty away.
"I came here today for two reasons. Firstly, I want to thank Mrs. Su for saving my father's life. Secondly, I want to apologize to my second brother and Miss Yin."
Upon hearing this, An Yan spoke in a soft and nonchalant tone: "It's nothing, really. Saving your father was just a small effort on my part. The one who truly went to great lengths was Mr. Sun. These past few days, he has been constantly keeping an eye on Lord Li's condition. As for me, I didn't do much of anything. And as for your younger brother's matter, that day my husband also taught him a lesson. Speaking of which, it seems that my husband's methods were a bit too severe that day. After returning home, I was worried that he had been too heavy-handed. I was thinking about whether or not to go to the mansion to apologize, but who would have thought that such a coincidence would occur, and the young master would arrive first? This is quite embarrassing for me."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "Miss Yin's body is fine now. On that day, Miss Yin was indeed at fault first. Therefore, what Mr. Su did on that day was reasonable and justified. However, although Miss Yin is our Li family's daughter-in-law who has not yet entered the door, she is still a daughter-in-law who has not yet entered the door after all. So, on that day, my mother and I could only try to dissuade her. But Miss Yin is not an easy person to persuade."
"It's all right, the young woman naturally knew. On that day, the eldest son and Mrs. Li had already done very well. The young woman saw it all and remembered it in her heart."
After hearing An Yan's words, Li Yuzhu finally felt like he had put down a huge burden, fearing that he would offend the woman in front of him because of this. For several days, he tossed and turned, and even in his dreams, he couldn't shake off the image of her delicate face. Now, with her standing right in front of him, he suddenly realized his true feelings. However, after discovering his own heart's intention, he couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.
Although she knew it was not allowed and should have kept her distance, she couldn't help but be swayed by the palpitations and longing in her heart. She thought to herself that just seeing him once wouldn't hurt, as long as she didn't do anything out of line. From then on, Li Yuzhu seemed to have found a natural reason for coming.
An Yan naturally didn't know what Li Yuzhu was thinking in her heart, she just felt that the man in front of her was gentle and elegant, and also very knowledgeable. When talking to him, she felt extremely at ease. As a result, unknowingly, she actually treated Li Yuzhu as a friend. Therefore, she didn't think about other aspects.
"The young master doesn't have to stand anymore, come in and talk."
An softly urged Li Yuzhu to come in, Li Yuzhu's heart fluttered with excitement, her face grew even more gentle and warm, like moonlight.
"It's better to obey than to make a show of respect."
Li Yuzhu didn't stand on ceremony, and with a slight bow, she followed An Yan into the inner chamber. An Yan personally poured tea for her, and they sat down to chat while drinking tea.
"How is Old Man Li's body now?"
These past few days, she hadn't been paying attention to that side, and only now, seeing Li Yuzhu, did she remember. Although her impression of Li Hui wasn't good, considering Li Yuzhu's and Mrs. Li's face, she was still quite polite.
"My father's body has recovered very well and he was discharged from hospital yesterday."
"That's good, Mr. Li just needs to take good care of himself for a while longer and he'll be fully recovered."
An softly took a sip of tea and smiled as she spoke.
Li Yuzhu listened and nodded. He picked up his teacup, took a light sip of tea, and suddenly said, "I wonder if Madam Su has been free lately?"
"What?"
"It's like this, my mother has been having headaches for a long time, and Mrs. Su also knows about it. Therefore, I want to ask Mrs. Su to take a look at my mother."
As soon as she heard this, An Yan suddenly remembered that time. Last time she met Mrs. Li on the street, they were familiar with each other and went to the Li's house together. She thought about chatting while examining Mrs. Li's headache symptoms. Everything was fine, but halfway through, Su San suddenly had a seizure, and everything didn't go as usual, so she forgot about it. At this moment, when Li Yuzhu mentioned it, An Yan's eyes flashed unnaturally for an instant.
"It just so happens that the young woman has nothing to do today, so she'll follow the young master back. Firstly, to let Aunt see her symptoms of headache, and secondly, to pay respects to Aunt."
Her face wore a warm smile, and her elegant eyes sparkled with tiny starlight, extremely delightful to behold.
Li Yuzhu's eyes flashed unnaturally, and she was naturally delighted in her heart, but on the surface, she showed gratitude, "Really troubling Mrs. Su."
An Yan and Li Yuzhu stood up at the same time, exchanged a smile, and were about to head out.
Just then, the curtain of the back hall was suddenly opened by someone, and Su San, still in black clothes, strode in with big steps.
Su San went to the city master's mansion today to drink with Yu Lei and Zhang Jun, but who knew that halfway through drinking, Su San felt his eyelids twitching violently. If it were in the past, Su San would have definitely ignored it. But since having An Yan, everything has become different. Su San started to become cautious and vigilant. Just then, under Yu Lei and Zhang Jun's inexplicable gaze, Su San quickly stood up and hastily rushed back.
At the moment he entered the back hall, Su San's mind flashed with an idea. Indeed, no wonder he felt uneasy, it turned out that his love rival had arrived again. He even dared to come and steal his thunder when he was not around. Did he think Su San was a dead man? Always using his gentle and elegant face to impress the little woman. Zhang Jun said before, little women should like gentle and elegant men more. If this kid showed off in front of the little woman too much, it's likely that the red apple would be snatched away.
Thinking of this, Su San suddenly felt as if he was facing a great enemy, and his whole body instantly became unwell.
Su San took three big steps forward and stood beside An Yan, his massive frame exuding an intense sense of oppression.
Li Yuzhu didn't know if it was because he had a guilty conscience or what, but anyway, as soon as Su San came over, he subconsciously touched his nose.
This appearance fell into Su San's eyes, and it was a typical thief's appearance.
If An Yan heard this evaluation of Su San, he would probably retort and say "look at yourself".
"Li Gongzi has arrived, why didn't anyone inform Su Mou about it?"
Li Yuzhu: "......" I didn't look for you, what's the point of telling you, I'd rather you weren't here anyway......
"......" He came to ask me to help his mother see a doctor, what does he want with you? It's not like they're fighting, what use is a big piece of wood?...
Su San didn't feel out of place at all, and naturally put his arm around An Yan's shoulder, saying: "Li Gongzi can go back first, Su will find you later." Go on, hurry up and leave, don't stand in front of my wife, it's really annoying to look at.
Unfortunately, Li Yuzhu didn't hear Su San's inner voice at all and instead humbly said: "Su Gongzi misunderstood, I came to find your wife. My mother has a headache, and she wants to invite your wife to our house to diagnose and treat her. If there is an opportunity next time, I will bother Su Gongzi again and have a good gathering with him."
Su San's face suddenly turned black, although it wasn't very noticeable. But An Yan was meticulous and noticed it instantly, thinking of Su San's various out-of-line behaviors last time. Hurriedly, she secretly stretched out her hand to pinch Su San's waist hard, then whispered into his ear: "I'll be right back, don't make a scene."
Su San really wanted to get rid of Li Yuzhu, but intimidated by the woman's fierce power, he still suppressed this violent thought.
