Chapter 130: Chapter 130: She’s My Little Wife

But that was just a clever and agile kitten. No matter how much he valued talent, he couldn’t train her as a member of his team.

Li Hanzhong had talked for quite a while, yet Meng Xinian retained that indifferent demeanor, which irked Li Hanzhong.

"Meng Xinian! Aren’t you going to say anything?"

Meng Xinian lazily asked, "Say what?"

"That young lady’s identity! I need to send someone to check on her!" Besides, he needed to express his gratitude.

Identity?

Meng Xinian’s body slid further down, and he lay back, no longer interested in conversing.

"She has nothing to do with this mission."

"Don’t give me that nonsense!" Li Hanzhong was so angry he wanted to kick him off the bed, his voice steady as he said: "Today, I had Doctor Chen come to take Aunt Jiang’s pulse. Ying Qiong said she should have been running a high fever, but when she was brought to the hospital, her temperature was normal. Doctor Chen said she must have taken some medicine beforehand, and the medicine was extremely effective."

He couldn’t quote Doctor Chen exactly; the gist was something like that.

The reason for suspecting that Jiang Ying Qiong had taken traditional Chinese medicine was due to the faint scent of herbal medicine from her mouth during the examination. If it were a physician from the hospital, they definitely couldn’t have detected it, but who came? It was Chen Baoshen.

Chen Baoshen was a famous Chinese medicine practitioner from Capital City, hailing from the herbal medicine family Renzhi Hall. When it came to traditional Chinese medicine, his nose was better than any instrument, so Li Hanzhong had no doubts about what he said.

Meng Xinian said, "At that time, someone was sent to deliver fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medicine."

Li Hanzhong glared at him, "Doctor Chen clearly said it was traditional Chinese medicine, he even recognized the scent of several herbs, but he mentioned that it was slightly different from the herbs he was familiar with, including the aroma of Lingzhi."

"It was traditional Chinese medicine, prepared by Zhao Xin," said Meng Xinian, a dark glimmer flashed in his eyes, but he spoke calmly.

Lingzhi?

Renzhi Hall was a century-old medical and herbal medicine clinic in Capital City. The Chen family had produced generations of extraordinary talents in Chinese medicine, and Chen Baoshen was known for his remarkably keen sense of smell.

Meng Xinian was aware of his capabilities.

"Doctor Chen also said that Aunt Jiang must have also used a herbal concoction to wipe down her body, which is why the fever went down so quickly. I’ve asked Ying Qiong about it, and she said the fever was severe, feeling as if she was Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) trapped inside Taishang Laojun’s Alchemy Furnace, being scorched by flames. Such high temperatures shouldn’t have abated so easily; it was because of taking oral medicine and using the herbal concoction for wiping that it subsided quickly. Are you saying she didn’t do it?"

Both the Li Family and the Jiang Family owed that young lady a great debt. Even if he didn’t inquire, his father-in-law would definitely look for the young lady to repay her.

Without saying anything else, when the time came, if someone really tried to make an issue out of it, they would have to support the young lady.

Upon hearing from Chen Baoshen that Jiang Yingqiong had also been wiped down with a medicinal concoction, a glint of light briefly crossed Meng Xinian’s eyes.

"Chief Alliance Officer, actually, she’s my little wife. She just happened to be with me yesterday and was not involved in the mission. She’s timid and has thin skin, afraid to meet important people. I will convey your and Aunt Jiang’s gratitude; there’s no need for a meeting," he said.

Li Hanzhong abruptly stood up, knocking over the chair in the process with a loud bang.

"Meng Xinian! Do you realize what you’re saying?!"

His little wife!

His little wife!

When had Meng Xinian gotten a wife? He had not heard about the Meng Family arranging a betrothal for him!

Besides, this young man had always been too proud to take interest in any of the young ladies from the big courtyard, always sporting a poker face around them. How could he possibly have gotten married?

Li Hanzhong, the Chief Alliance Officer, was rather shocked by him.

As a matter of fact, Meng Xinian had blurted out that statement almost without thinking, not knowing why he had said it.
