ARDA - Chapter 144 - As long as she likes it

 The residence of Divine Doctor Xue.

Jiang Ning walked into a room and dealt with the injury on her arm.

She took off her clothes, revealing her fair arms. There was a scar on her right arm. Fortunately, it was not deep. It was just a skin injury that did not require sutures. All she had to do was apply golden sore medicine.

Outside the door, someone knocked on the door.

Xue Xiu's voice came, "Miss Jiang, let me help you..."

Jiang Ning originally wanted to bandage it herself, but it was a bit inconvenient. It would be great if someone could help. She did not refuse and let Xue Xiu enter the room.

"Come in."

Xue Xiu walked into the room, and what she saw at first glance was her slender back with three thousand black hair draped down and rolled onto one shoulder.

She couldn't help but be stunned. Even a woman would be attracted to her.

In particular, there is a small lotus flower blooming on the shoulder blade, which is charming and beautiful.

Jiang Ning turned her back to Xue Xiu, unable to see her expression, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Xue Xiu finally came to her senses and walked over to help Jiang Ning apply the golden sore medicine, and then bandaged it carefully.

Jiang Ning saw that her bandaging skills were skillful, she must have practiced more in private, and praised her, "Your medical skills are getting better, and you will definitely inherit Grandpa Xue's reputation as a miracle doctor in the future."

After hearing this, Xue Xiu paused, lowered her eyes, and a trace of bitterness flashed across her face.

Jiang Ning's words of praise came from the bottom of her heart. Who said women can't practice medicine? If you follow Xue Xiu's hard work and continue to learn medical skills, you will one day be able to inherit the name of Xue Miracle Doctor.

I just don’t know if the listener is interested.

Xue Xiu was silent for a while and did not respond to Jiang Ning's words. Instead, she changed the subject, "Miss Jiang, is this a birthmark on your back?"

"Birthmark?" Jiang Ning couldn't see behind her, so she didn't know what was there. She thought for a moment that she probably didn't have a birthmark, "I don't have a birthmark."

"Huh? There is clearly a lotus birthmark here..."

Xue Xiu looked at Jiang Ning's shoulder blades, and saw the little lotuses blooming in layers, lifelike, charming and beautiful.

Jiang Ning frowned, does she have a birthmark? 

Xue Xiu brought two bronze mirrors and showed them to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning saw the lotus birthmark on her fair back and the shoulder blades. She was stunned. She knew very well that there was no birthmark on her back. If there was such a special birthmark, she would definitely know about it.

No one mentioned her birthmark in her previous life, and she didn't even remember it.

Why did a lotus birthmark suddenly appear...

She was silent for a while and didn't think much about it. The birthmark didn't bother her anyway, as long as it wasn't some inexplicable disease.

After treating the wound, Jiang Ning took a carriage back to the Marquis Mansion.

On the way, she told Shuangyue not to tell anyone about the matter, especially about her injury, and not to let anyone know.

.........

At night.

Jiang Ning had not yet fallen asleep. She looked at the dark night with bright eyes. Now that she had dealt with Zhuang Wei, it was time to deal with the remaining one.

At this time, the window was quietly pushed open.

Jiang Ning was alert and twisted a silver needle in her hand. She noticed that it was Shuang Yue's breath, so she put the silver needle away.

Shuangyue said, "My lord asks you to come over, Miss."

Jiang Ning was already used to it. Every time she went to Chu Yunli to discuss matters, she did so at night. She no longer found it strange.

She immediately put on her night clothes and used Qinggong to leave the house.

Went to Chu Yunli's private residence.

After going there twice, she was already familiar with the way and didn't need anyone to guide her. She walked to the study where Chu Yunli was and knocked politely on the door.

"Come in."

Jiang Ning pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Chu Yunli dressed in green clothes. When they met in private, he was usually wearing a pair of black clothes, but now his clothes restrained his cold and murderous aura, and now looked handsome.

Jiang Ning took a few glances and felt that what the world said was correct. The regent was so handsome that no one who saw him could forget it.

Chu Yunli turned his face away when he saw it.

He was not afraid of being looked at, but when the person in front of him stared at him, his heart was throbbing for some reason.

Jiang Ning said, "Lord Chu called me over in the middle of the night. Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Ning calmed down and didn't look at him again.

She guessed that Chu Yunli called her over to ask about Zhuang Wei. After all, she was the one who went there first and saved the Ninth Prince.

Little did she know that Chu Yunli had already found out everything, including the fact that she disguised herself as a miracle doctor and poisoned Zhuang Wei.

Chu Yunli said calmly, "Zhuang Wei will be executed tomorrow. Of course, the Zhuang family cannot escape. The Imperial Police has already investigated all the crimes they committed."

Jiang Ning was surprised and sighed at the Imperial Police's speed in doing things.

"You have made great contributions in this matter. You saved the Ninth Prince, but we cannot tell His Majesty about your medical skills." Chu Yunli looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning thought it didn't matter. It would be troublesome to spread the news. She also needed to explain it to the people in the Marquis Mansion. Lord Jiang and the old lady would definitely be suspicious of her.

She was very grateful that Chu Yunli could help her cover up.

Chu Yunli picked up the box from the table and handed it to Jiang Ning, "This is for you."

Jiang Ning took it with both hands and asked curiously, "What is this?" When she took the box, she didn't expect it to be so heavy. Her hands sank and she almost fell and hit her instep.

Opening the box, it is full of dazzling gold.

It is roughly estimated that there are a hundred taels of gold.

Jiang Ning was surprised when she saw the contents inside, "Is this... for me?"

"Yes, you have made great achievements."

Jiang Ning wanted to refuse. She saved the Ninth Prince casually, and she didn't put in much effort. She did not deserve the hundred taels of gold.

But Chu Yunli's face clearly told her to accept it.

Chu Yunli said calmly, "If you don't like it, I can prepare something else..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately picked up the box and said, "This is fine."

Gold can also be exchanged for silver. It has many uses. Who would think that there is too much silver... Since he has said so, just accept it. It is better than other flashy things.

Jiang Ning hugged the box tightly.

Seeing her like this, the corners of Chu Yunli's lips curled up slightly, as long as she liked it.

Jiang Ning returned to the Marquis Mansion and asked Shuangyue to put the box into the warehouse. She had a good sleep.

Another place, the remote Jiang family villa.

Jiang Mengyue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The musty smell of the quilt made her gag.

She hated all of this. The more she thought about what happened in her dream, how she had become the fourth princess and lived a high life, she felt that her current life was miserable and she couldn't stand it anymore.

She had to return to the Marquis Mansion as soon as possible.

Only in this way can she proceed step by step according to the plan.

Jiang Mengyue thought about what to do if Zhuang Wei was unreliable? 

She tried many ways, but there was no way to return to the Marquis Mansion.

She was already an abandoned child of the Marquis family. Her grandmother and father were cold and merciless. When she was the daughter of the Marquis family, they held her high in their hands. When they knew that she was not a biological blood and had lost their value, they abandoned her. 

Now the only one who she can place her hope and take advantage of is Lin family...

Mrs. Lin has a soft heart and cannot be cruel. Seeing her miserable life, she will definitely feel sorry for her.
