Pei Xiuping stepped back into the medicine shop and asked, "By the way, when will my injury heal?"
"It should be in a few days," Ling Xin replied, puzzled. "Are you in a hurry?"
Pei Xiuping forced a smile and said, "Not at all."
What a lie! He thought to himself, if he didn’t seduce this little woman back home soon, who knew when she might give him a green hat! She had seen him completely exposed and still wanted to flirt with others? Not a chance!
The steam in the medicine shop was thick, and Lou Yuxiao felt suffocated by the heat.
In his daze, he saw someone approaching and was about to call out to him when he heard a displeased voice from the man: " mister Lou, are you still alive?"
Pei Xiuping secretly wished that Lou Yuxiao would just suffocate!
Lou Yuxiao exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
He had been hoping that if Ling Xin came in to help him with a massage, being alone together would ignite some passion, allowing him to smoothly propose to her.
Although Ling Xin had made it impossible for him to be with any woman, he found himself missing her more and more.
Lou Yuxiao glared at Pei Xiuping with hostility and questioned, "What is your relationship with little Ling Xin?"
"Ling Xin is my fiancée," Pei Xiuping replied coldly, his eyes filled with determination. " mister Lou, I advise you to be careful. If you dare to covet my fiancée again, you might find that your troubles go beyond just impotence."
This man is indeed no ordinary character. There are many remarkable figures in Fengcheng County, and perhaps it is for this reason that Ling Xin dares to hide here.
Since Pei Xiuping found Ling Xin, he has sensed that this man is unusual. However, with his face wrapped in bandages and deliberately concealing his abilities, it only piqued Pei Xiuping's curiosity about his true identity even more.
"Who exactly are you?"
"You just need to remember that I am Ling Xin's husband."
Pei Xiuping thought for a moment but still felt unsatisfied. Taking advantage of Lou Yuxiao's distraction, he knocked him out, muttering, "I really can't feel at ease without giving you a beating!"
"Where is Lou Yuxiao?" Ling Xin noticed that Lou Yuxiao was missing and asked.
"Do you miss him?" Pei Xiuping replied sharply, jealousy evident in his tone. "I tossed him over to Holy Grove Pavilion."
"Uh..." Zhao Lingxin certainly didn't dare to nod; she frowned and said, "Well, his medical fees haven't been paid yet."
Having treated two patients for free had cost her quite a bit of precious medicinal materials. Just thinking about it made her feel pained! If she didn't start making money soon, she'd be broke!
Thus, Yiming Pavilion reopened for business, and she raised the price of her coffins by half. Yet even at two hundred taels for a coffin, people still came in.
Pei Xiuping's task was to help Zhao Lingxin screen patients, kicking out all the male ones and only inviting female patients inside.
"Um... your voice sounds very familiar." A female patient looked at Pei Xiuping curiously. Although his face was still wrapped in bandages, his demeanor was strikingly familiar.
Pei Xiuping smiled and said, "It is truly an honor to be remembered by a beauty like you."
"Pei... Pei Xiuping!" The woman was stunned. "You are Pei Xiuping from the Holy Grove Pavilion!"
Pei Xiuping placed a finger on his lips, signaling her to keep quiet.
The excitement in the woman's eyes was hard to conceal. She often visited the Holy Grove Pavilion but had rarely seen Pei Xiuping lately, so she couldn't help but ask, "I heard you went missing. How come you're here?"
Pei Xiuping chuckled lightly and replied nonchalantly, "I'm here selling coffins."
"Ah?" The woman was taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.
From inside, Ling Xin called out, "Pei, what are you dawdling for?"
Pei Xiuping sighed with a smile and shouted back, "Ling Xin said if I don't sell a few coffins today, she won't let me sleep tonight."
His voice was loud enough to catch the attention of those outside. People turned to look, noticing that although his face was covered, his exposed arms bore several red marks, as if someone had pinched him.
This led to speculation among the crowd that Ling Xin from Yiming Pavilion had kidnapped Pei Xiuping from Holy Grove Pavilion, indulging in him every night without restraint, leaving him with injuries... As for the cloth covering his face, it seemed likely that Ling Xin was being domineering, unwilling to let others see his appearance.
