Chapter 328: Chapter 191: Guidance from Sister Ye

"Three maces of nightshade vine, half a mace of Amber Powder, three maces of Indigo Naturalis, two maces of bayberry seeds..."

In the medicine room, a light smoke twisted and twirled.

On the ancient bronze stove sat a clay pot, the fire flickering and dancing, casting the beautiful profile of the woman in its glow.

The woman, dressed in plain clothes, her hair lightly coiled up, a few loose strands sticking to her smooth, white forehead, held a bamboo long spoon in her hands, slowly stirring the medicine soup, emitting a "gurgle gurgle" sound.

Jiang Shouzhong, following Ye Zhuchan’s instructions, placed the herbs on the medicine grinder one by one, picking up the pestle to carefully grind them.

The man’s gaze occasionally swept towards the vague figure soaking in the medicine barrel behind a partition, swallowed his saliva, and asked softly, "Ye, are you sure Hong’er can withstand such a potent medicine bath? Won’t she be cooked like a shrimp?"

"Cooked like a shrimp? I’ll make you a pot of fairy meat porridge."

Ye Zhuchan turned down the fire a bit, speaking seriously though jokingly, her beautiful eyes slightly glancing, "But where did you get the name ’Hong’er’? Did she tell you that?"

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "She can’t remember anything, let alone her name. Since she wears red, I simply call her Hong’er. If she wore blue, I’d call her Blue. If purple, her name would be Purple..."

"What if she is wearing nothing at all?"

Ye Zhuchan asked curiously.

Jiang Shouzhong blanked for a moment, pondered, and said, "Then she’d be called ’Nude’."

Ye Zhuchan chuckled, eyes narrowing with mirth, "You might as well just call her wife, after all, she fell from the sky and was coincidentally saved by you, isn’t that just like a little wife falling from the sky?"

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head earnestly, "My heart has room only for Ye."

"Really?"

"My heart, heaven, and earth can bear witness."

"Yet ever since you rescued this girl, your eyes hardly leave her, you think of her when sleeping, stare at her when eating, and now even when you’re supposed to be grinding herbs, you’re distracted, not even noticing when you spill them..."

"Uh..."

Jiang Shouzhong only then realized the herbs were spilled, and, resignedly, he re-measured a portion, sheepishly saying, "Ye, in my heart, you are unique... Eh? Are you jealous?"

As if he had discovered a new continent, he stared at the woman’s face,

"Exactly, Ye, you’ve fallen for me without even realizing it. Don’t worry, even though you rejected me last time, I’m not one to hold grudges, even if it means paying 380,000 as a bride price, I... uh, never mind..."

Ye Zhuchan said flatly, "Add three maces of nightshade vine."

"Ah?" Jiang Shouzhong paused, frowning, "Wouldn’t that be too much? It’s mainly for calming the nerves and promoting sleep. Too much could have side effects on Hong’er."

"It’s for you, to make you sleep more, to dream more during the day."

"..."

Jiang Shouzhong obediently shut his mouth.

Ye Zhuchan’s lips curved slightly upward, her voice soft, "Little Brother Jiang, a man needs to be thoughtful to be liked by girls. In that regard, you still have a long way to go."

Jiang Shouzhong earnestly responded, "I’m actually quite good at understanding ’clothes’ off people."

Ye Zhuchan picked up the wooden long spoon and gently tapped the man’s forehead, "Don’t think I didn’t catch what you just said there."

Jiang Shouzhong was routed.

This Ye before him was of great wisdom, having been intentionally teased by him since their first encounter, every ambiguous comment was taken seriously... Now she didn’t even need to think, she just knew whenever he was making a pass.

However, Jiang wasn’t content, so he pretended to feel wronged and said, "Ye, can’t we be a bit more romantic?"

"How do you suggest we add more romance?"

Ye Zhuchan asked in return.

"Ah, I understand now..." Before the man could speak, Ye Zhuchan suddenly realized, her beautiful eyes curving into a smile, "I’ll be more flirtatious, you slow down... right?"

Jiang Shouzhong had nothing to say, just extended his thumb.

You’re awesome.

You’re truly a modern-day expert driver.

However, looking at Ye’s composed, gentle, and aloof appearance, it was hard to imagine what "being more flirtatious" could mean.

Snap!

He was hit on the head with a shovel again.

Ye Zhuchan narrowed her eyes and warned, "Don’t let your thoughts wander."

"..."

Jiang Shouzhong diligently ground the herbal materials.

Ye Zhuchan poured the cooked herbal soup into another pot, simmered it again until the soup turned a deep amber color and was fragrant, then she strained out the residue and handed a bowl to Jiang Shouzhong.

"Take it in and let her drink it."

"She is naked in the bath right now, it wouldn’t be proper for me to enter."

Jiang Shouzhong assumed the air of an upright gentleman.

Ye Zhuchan looked at him with disdain, "The night you saved her, when I was taking off her clothes, you were also hanging around and didn’t leave. Don’t tell me you saw nothing."

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "Didn’t see a single hair."

Recalling that night, Jiang Shouzhong’s gaze inadvertently drifted towards Ye...

I wonder if Ye is bald?

Snap!

Another shovel smacked down on his forehead.

A hint of rosy blush emerged on Ye Zhuchan’s cheeks as she said irritably, "Where are you looking? Recently felt overheated? Should I give you a herbal bath as well? Don’t worry, I’ll use ice to cool you down this time."

"That won’t be necessary."

Jiang Shouzhong quickly picked up the soup and slipped into the partition.

Inside the steamy, herbal bath, the young girl, surrounded by mist like clouds, had her long eyelashes gently closed, resembling the delicate wings of a butterfly, serene and peaceful. Her body, enhanced by the ambient steam, appeared even more rosy and radiant, like a mythical goddess by the water, ethereal and incomparable.

Hearing footsteps, the young girl opened her eyes, her clear eyes showing a hint of confusion.

Jiang Shouzhong coughed lightly, smilingly said, "Ye sent me to bring you the medicine, she was too busy to come herself."

The young girl closed her eyes, her body slightly submerged further down... From Jiang Shouzhong’s perspective, he could only vaguely see some curves, as well as the delicate collarbone and fragrant shoulders of the young girl.
