She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

What kind of miracle doctor?

What business is it of Shao Yunxi's?

Jiang Ruining was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about.

But she pretended not to understand: "I don't understand what you're saying?"

Shao Yunting looked directly at her face, which was bathed in the pale golden light of the morning sun: "Miss Chu came to me and said that she has a doctor friend who can heal Yunxi's facial injuries. She said that she is an orphan and this is just to gain a favor from our Duke's mansion."

"But her expression told me that she felt uneasy about this enormous favor! I ordered someone to investigate her relationships over the years, and it was confirmed that there had never been any trace of the miracle doctor around her!"

"Who could give up such a huge favor? No one but you."

Jiang Ruining sighed.

The male lead is indeed too clever.

"Duke Shao is a smart man; he should understand why I don't want you to know that the divine physician is my friend."

Shao Yunting's heart sank: "Since you invited the divine doctor, the Shao family cannot repay this lover in the wrong way."

Jiang Ruining stated frankly, "It was indeed troublesome for you back then. Asking your mother-in-law to heal your sister's face was a form of compensation. Having Chu Jin step in was just to get a favor from you as well. It was a win-win situation for both her and me, nothing more."

She raised her eyebrows.

Unrestrained and flamboyant, bright and playful.

"Does Duke Shao really think I'm playing hard to get?"

Shao Yunting had to admit that, before this moment, he had indeed had this thought: "We can start over."

Jiang Ruining waved her hand, firmly refusing: "When I approached you, I had an ulterior motive, but wasn't I also presenting you with an opportunity? You didn't cherish it, so once it's gone, it's gone."

"I am beautiful, intelligent, good-natured, and from a good family. There are countless men who want to marry me. I have many choices, and you are not the most outstanding among them. I don't have the habit of waiting for someone in the same place."

Her rejection was too clear and too direct.

Shao Yunting's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew the answer.

She really didn't like him anymore.

Or perhaps she never really liked him.

When Jiang Ruining called him, her voice was cold: "Shao Yunting."

Shao Yun took a deep breath and composed himself: "Go on."

Jiang Ruining said seriously, "Don't say a single word of doubt or harshness in front of Chu Jin. She just feels indebted to me and wants to make it up to me, so she unconditionally agreed to my request!"

Shao Yunting nodded: "I know, it won't happen."

Jiang Ruining nodded: "That's good. Duke Shao, I'm tired and need to rest."

Shao Yunting was very frustrated. He had never been rejected by a woman so repeatedly in his life.

But not wanting to upset her, he stood up and said, "Take good care of yourself, I'll come see you again in a few days."

It was as if they weren't giving her a chance to refuse.

He got up and strode outside.

He left.

Then he encountered Chu Jin again.

She held a white umbrella painted with orchids, wore a light blue long skirt, and a semi-transparent apricot-colored cover-up. Her jade teardrop-shaped earrings swayed gently by her cheeks. She looked like a spring mountain bathed in mist, an elegant orchid.

It's still beautiful, but I can't find that initial, breathtaking feeling.

She's lost weight and looks quite haggard; she must have been worried about Ningning day and night and hadn't slept well.

"Miss Chu."

Upon meeting, he stopped and bowed respectfully.

When Chu Jin saw him again, she was surprised: "Didn't Duke Shao return to the hunting grounds?"

Shao Yunting felt a tightness in her chest and was somewhat listless: "I went back, but I was worried, so I came to check on you."

Chu Jin was taken aback.

Although both are in Chengde, the hunting grounds are seventy li away from here. Even at a fast pace, a round trip would take a whole day.

gone back.

Because he was worried, he rushed over again, just to see her and know that she was alright, and then left.

What kind of love could drive him to such an extreme?

She was envious, she was shocked, but the last trace of regret also dissipated.

She wouldn't cling to a man who had passionately loved another girl; it was like a lingering moonlight in her heart that could never be erased, and it disgusted her.

It's not that I'm annoyed by Ningning, it's that I'm annoyed by the mark that will forever remain in his heart!

He nodded slightly and smiled gently as he bid farewell, saying, "Have a safe journey, Your Excellency."

Seeing the relief in her eyes, Shao Yunting suddenly understood something.

But he was only slightly surprised.

He said "thank you" and left.

Chu Jin didn't look at him again. She held up her umbrella and continued walking forward without turning back. What was missed was not worth lingering over.

Go in along the road.

Watching the patrols and the heavily guarded soldiers, one can't help but marvel at how meticulously the regent protected Ningning.

We arrived at the doorway where roses were climbing.

Yun Mi was already waiting for her, and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Jin has arrived, please come with me!"

Chu Jin was surprised to see her: "What are you doing here?"

Yunmi explained, "I ran away thinking of retrieving your body from the river, but I couldn't find it. I was heartbroken and drifted aimlessly with the current, waiting to die. I was found by the Regent's men and brought back."

Chu Jin was shaken.

I was deeply moved by the deep bond between Ningning and this girl.

Shocked by the Regent's high regard for Ningning, even when he was not in the capital, he ordered people to keep a close eye on Ningning's every move and to cooperate with all her actions.

"The Regent treats Ningning very well."

Yunmi nodded vigorously: "Yes! Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to rescue me, a worthless servant. Shi'an said it's called 'love me, love my dog'!"

Chu Jin understood the weight of the phrase "love me, love my dog".

Then she smiled faintly.

It's so nice that someone values ​​Ningning so much!

"You're Ningning's confidante, someone she values ​​and considers important. You're invaluable." Hearing her mention a name she hadn't heard of, she asked curiously, "Who is Shi'an?"

Yun Mi grinned sheepishly.

Yes! The girl also said she's very important!

"You've met Shi'an before, he's always by the prince's side, and he has a small black mole on the corner of his mouth."

Chu Jin nodded. She did remember him; he was a tall, thin man with sharp eyes.

The cousins ​​met.

Jiang Ruining smiled and gestured for her to sit down.

Chu Jin looked at her, scrutinizing her several times. She had lost a lot of weight, her face was still pale, and her voice lacked strength. Her eyes welled up with tears: "Poor thing, you've been through hell!"

A warm feeling washed over Jiang Ruining.

The female lead is indeed the female lead; her underlying nature is still gentle.

"I'm fine now, don't worry! But you, why do you look so pale? Were you worried about me, not eating or sleeping well?"

Chu Jin wiped away her tears and smiled, "How could I not feel sorry for you? Fortunately, we made it through. A near-death experience is sure to bring good fortune!"

He paused for a moment.

Hesitantly, he began, "My aunt..."
