PFC Chapter 36 Ability
Chapter 36 Ability
The room was filled with the ambiguous atmosphere of a man and woman's passionate love. Jiang Yuyue, who originally only wanted to end it quickly, did not expect Xie Jinglan to become so uncontrollable.
Unlike his usual sickly appearance, Jiang Yuyue pinched his shoulder and suddenly recalled something.
That day, when she touched her hard abs, it was indeed not an illusion.
He really does!
"Well……"
As the situation worsened, she felt as if her brain was about to run out of oxygen.
Then everything went blank; my body was out of control, and I could only passively accept it all.
She couldn't even remember how many times the two of them had partied all night, until Xie Jinglan finally stopped when the first light of dawn appeared outside the window.
Xie Jinglan, who had put on his outer robe, was leaning against the side with his eyes closed, resting.
The candlelight was dim, but the sweat on his chest reflected an ambiguous light. Jiang Yuyue's chest heaved violently, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed as she recalled her submissive manner just now.
This was the first time Jiang Yuyue had experienced something like this, and she didn't know what to say. She could only hurriedly put on her clothes and walk out.
Watching her leave without a word, a cold glint appeared in the depths of Xie Jinglan's dark eyes.
Although tonight's events were indeed just a transaction, she actually managed to walk away so gracefully as if nothing had happened.
She was like a patron who went to a brothel. At least a patron would say goodbye before leaving, but she was even worse than that.
To avoid disturbing Xiaoliu, Jiang Yuyue took a detour to the hot spring in the house. Her body ached and desperately needed the hot water to relieve the pain. After taking off her clothes, she looked at the ambiguous red marks all over her body and couldn't help but recall what had just happened.
I never expected Xie Jinglan to be like this...
Thinking about those things, her face flushed again, and she curled up in the water.
Only after hot water was poured over my head did those strange thoughts dissipate.
After soaking for about half an hour, Jiang Yuyue returned home and went to her room. Exhausted from the night, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.
"Miss? Miss?"
Jiang Yuyue was not usually a heavy sleeper, so Xiao Liu became anxious when she couldn't wake her up.
Thinking her injury had relapsed, he hurriedly pushed open the door and reached out to check her wound. But before he could even unbutton her clothes, he saw the ambiguous red mark on his young mistress's neck.
Xiaoliu:......!
Although she was still a young woman, she knew most of the things that were important to her, and upon seeing the marks, she immediately understood what had happened last night.
"Miss, get up quickly."
Xiaoliu blushed and raised her voice slightly, "Weren't you going to check on the shop today?"
Jiang Yuyue reluctantly sat up after hearing this. She thought that soaking in the hot spring last night would relieve her discomfort, but she did not expect that the soreness in her body would become more and more intense after waking up.
"hiss……"
As soon as she sat up, Jiang Yuyue gasped in pain from the soreness in her waist. Xiao Liu, who was supporting her, blushed slightly at her reaction.
This third young master looks sickly, yet he has such great abilities?
What used to be a simple matter of washing up became a difficult task today. Jiang Yuyue moved her body to reduce the pain a little, but she still couldn't ignore the discomfort all over her body.
Xiao Liu felt genuinely sorry for her seeing her like this, and her face showed concern.
"Miss, why don't you stay home and rest for the day instead of going out today?"
"That won't work."
Jiang Yuyue shook her head. "I had arranged to meet Lian Mo at the pharmacy today, how could I break my promise? Besides, what I'm doing... is not a big deal."
At most, my back and waist are a little sore...
It's not a big deal.
After a quick breakfast, Jiang Yuyue prepared to go out to look at the shop. As soon as she stepped out the door, she bumped into Xie Jinglan, who was sunbathing in the courtyard.
Good morning, Third Brother.
Despite the passionate night, Jiang Yuyue didn't believe their relationship would change as a result, and greeted him as usual.
Unlike usual, Xie Jinglan didn't even glance at her, instead turning his head away and ignoring her completely.
Weird.
Jiang Yuyue was puzzled. She hadn't really made him suffer any losses last night, had she? Was he just tired? Why did it seem like she owed him something today?
However, Jiang Yuyue didn't have time to analyze his little emotions right now. She had arranged to meet Lian Moke at the shop today, and as for Xie Jinglan, she would wait until she returned to discuss it.
Seeing that Jiang Yuyue had also responded with the same attitude, Xie Jinglan's face instantly darkened.
Seeing his master shivering from the cold, Jixiang, who was holding the medicine bowl beside him, broke out in a cold sweat.
What exactly did this young mistress do to displease her master?
……
Upon arriving at the shop, Jiang Yuyue looked around and was quite satisfied.
It must be said that Xiao Liu is very meticulous. A few days ago, she was injured and had no time to spare, so she entrusted Xiao Liu with the management of the shop. When Jiang Yuyue came over today, she saw that the shop was not only cleaned up, but also that all kinds of medicinal herbs were neatly arranged on the shelves, which looked really pleasing to the eye.
Her shop had just opened when a dark figure walked in.
"coming?"
Seeing him take off his cloak, Jiang Yuyue looked him up and down. "You still want to work as a helper in my shop?"
"Yes."
Lian Mo nodded, and then, as if to prove that he was capable of doing the job, he immediately pointed to the various medicines on the shelf and said,
"Jade Marrow Grass, twenty taels per plant; Tianshan Snow Lotus, forty taels per plant; Longevity Fruit..."
Seeing that Lian Mo could accurately identify each medicinal herb and its price, Jiang Yuyue's thoughts began to waver.
Although Xiao Liu could help her look after the shop on weekdays, she was a complete novice when it came to medicinal herbs. She only recognized some common herbs, and she knew nothing about the rarer ones. Moreover, she was not as familiar with the prices as Lian Mo.
It seems that hiring Lian Mo directly would be easier than teaching Xiao Liu to remember the names and prices of various medicinal herbs.
However, Jiang Yuyue still had some doubts about Lian Mo's identity.
Jiang Yuyue's gaze held a hint of inquiry. "Since you are an expert in medicinal herbs and have a large number of medicinal herb fields, why do you insist on working as an assistant in my small pharmacy?"
Faced with her questioning gaze, Lian Mo trembled slightly.
Could it be that the person revealed his identity to Jiang Yuyue?
"Could it be..."
A thought popped into Jiang Yuyue's mind: "Could it be that you are the son of some important family, being hunted down by your enemies, and have no choice but to work at my pharmacy?"
Lian Mo: "...No."
He breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help being speechless.
"I'm just short of money. Selling medicinal herbs on the black market can be profitable, but the black market only opens once every ten days, and there aren't many people who know their value, so I can't sell them for much silver."
"Besides, the herbs in your pharmacy are sourced from me, so it's more convenient for me to work for you. That's all, there's no other reason."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue pondered for a moment, carefully observing Lian Mo's expression. Looking at his harmless face, he didn't seem to be lying.
"alright."
Jiang Yuyue readily agreed, "Then you can stay and work in my shop. As for the wages, just as you said, I'll pay you the usual price."
Lian Mo had no objection to this and nodded.
"can."
