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

Jiang Ruining carefully examined this mysterious hermit doctor. He had imposing features, abundant blood and energy, and a rosy, full complexion.

Although there are fine lines around her eyes, she is far from being a "grandmother"; she looks to be around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

When she speaks, two dimples appear faintly on her cheeks, adding to her vitality.

Unlike the previous times when she came, she was lazy and didn't even give her a glance, only ordering the little medicine boy to fetch things. This time she was quite enthusiastic.

He shook the wine naan he had deliberately left loose in his hand, and the aroma of wine rushed out: "Wine!"

"When I came here before, I smelled a wonderful aroma of wine, so I figured you must enjoy it. I happened to get some good wine that's not available on the market, so I brought a bag with me today to let you try something new."

Grandma Red Flower was suspicious.

But she wasn't going to pass up something good, so she took the wine without hesitation, opened it eagerly, and brought it close to her nose to smell it.

The rich aroma of the liquor filled his senses, and his smile deepened the wrinkles around his eyes: "Fine wine!"

I took a small sip.

Savor it carefully.

Her face was filled with amazement and satisfaction.

Jiang Ruining could tell at a glance that she was enjoying her drink, and then said leisurely, "I have several different kinds of wine that taste even better than this."

Granny Honghua savored the lingering fragrance of the wine on her lips and teeth, then cast a sharp glance at her: "What do you want from this old woman?"

Jiang Ruining didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I would like to ask you to go to the Duke of Shao's mansion to treat a young lady's face."

Granny Honghua clearly knew who Duke Shao was: "To please a man?"

Jiang Ruining shook her head: "No."

Grandma Honghua raised her eyebrows high, clearly not believing her denial.

Jiang Ruining explained, "This is just compensation for the trouble I caused him before."

Grandma Honghua shrugged, with an expression that said, "What a spineless coward, not even daring to admit it."

Jiang Ruining couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply stopped trying and asked her, "Will you help me with this?"

He paused for a moment.

He added.

"No pressure, it's okay if you don't want to help. I'll have someone send over some other wine later, just to make you a friend."

How can this be described as "not forcing"?

This is blatant temptation!

Grandma Honghua clutched the wine in her hand, her heart itching with desire.

She has lived for forty years and has tasted almost all the fine wines in China, but she hasn't found a wine that can excite her for two years, let alone one that smells like the best!

And this little girl actually has someone even better?

How could she not befriend this person?

"The young lady knows how to handle people."

Jiang Ruining smiled and said, "So, Mother-in-law is willing to be friends with me?"

Grandma Honghua did not answer.

He then slowly savored the wine for quite a while.

Only after he was satisfied did he ask, "How did you get injured?"

Jiang Ruining said, "I was scratched by pebbles in the water when I fell in. The wound is quite deep, about two inches long. It got infected because the water didn't dry properly. The imperial physician examined me and said it would definitely leave a very noticeable scar. It's been almost half a month since the injury, and the scab probably hasn't fallen off yet."

Grandma Honghua nodded casually after hearing this, not seeming to think it was anything serious: "When are you going to see a doctor about the wound?"

Jiang Ruining: "It depends on your schedule."

Grandma Red Flower: "Aren't you afraid that after drinking, I won't do anything?"

Jiang Ruining: "You have a good eye for wine. You appreciate wine, but you don't force yourself to drink. You are a discerning person."

Grandma Honghua was pleased to be praised for her good drinking manners: "You have good taste!"

People who are particular about their work naturally pay attention to details.

"Go and inform the family that this old woman will be coming to treat your injuries in three days. Just cooperate obediently then, and don't nag or question anything. This old woman isn't some kind of nagging maid!"

Jiang Ruining smiled and agreed, "Okay, I know! I won't show up. If the Shao family asks you who invited you, just say it's Chu Jin, the girl with a small birthmark on her right hand."

Grandma Honghua glanced at her wrist; it was fair and clean, with nothing on it.

He frowned: "To pave the way for someone else's success?"

Jiang Ruining frowned helplessly: "Mother-in-law, I've already told you I don't have those kinds of feelings for Duke Shao. I'm just trying to bring them together! My main purpose is to become friends with you first!"

Grandma Red Flower went from disbelieving to being skeptical.

He waved his hand dismissively: "Whatever! They'll come crying to me for poison later anyway, I have plenty!"

Jiang Ruining: "..."

As she was leaving, Grandma Red Flower tossed her a bottle.

"Go see a doctor when it's time to give someone a chance to breathe."

Jiang Ruining was pleasantly surprised.

I thought I'd have to interact with her more often to get something good from her!

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Grandma Honghua lay back on the recliner, holding a naan bread, in a cheerful mood.

He waved his hand.

It indicates where to go.

Jiang Ruining took Yun Mi's leave after bidding her farewell.

As we were about to leave the alley.

She heard someone calling her name from behind, but it was muffled by the rustling of the weeds.

But she was certain she hadn't misheard!

She was wearing a veil and dressed very casually, so how did she still get recognized?

Terrible!

Could it be another case of a crazy, toxic fan who keeps an eye on her whenever she encounters one of the male or female leads?

run!

He quickened his pace, attempting to use the winding alleys to shake off the person.

As a result, the footsteps behind them caught up very quickly.

Before she had run two hundred meters, she crashed head-on into a wall of flesh. The force was so great that it bounced her off, and her hat flew off her head.

Just when she thought she was about to fall flat on her back, a strong arm supported her lower back and pulled her back with a slight force, holding her tightly in its crook.

Jiang Ruining thought she had encountered a thug, and her heart was pounding in her throat. She struggled desperately, her voice trembling, "Let go! Let go of me!"

Seeing her young lady being harassed, Yunmi threw a punch, yelling, "You scoundrel, let go of my young lady!"

With one arm around Jiang Ruining, the other easily fended off Yun Mi's reckless attacks.

In just over ten moves, he grabbed Yun Mi's wrist, twisted it behind her back, and pressed it down hard, causing the calf-like girl to kneel on the ground, unable to move.

"Yun Mi!" Jiang Ruining cried out in terror, fearing the other party might kill her. "Don't hurt her! Please, let her go!"

Seeing her panic and tears welling in her eyes, the other person quickly called out, "Ningning, it's me! It's me, Yun Ting!"

He introduced himself.

This reduced Yun Mi's madness of wanting to die together by half.

Jiang Ruining was stunned.

Still shaken, I looked up and met a pair of familiar, gentle eyes.

It was immediately confirmed that it was Shao Yunting!

After all, there aren't many people in the entire capital with eyes more beautiful than his!
