Chapter 121: Knowing People and Exposing Evil
Xiajia Hutong
The Lin family's entry procedure of drinking wine from the cup has been completed, and the next step is the feeding process.
Although Chen Xueru couldn't drink as much as Liang Ladi, she wouldn't get drunk even with half a catty of wine. Lin Chen didn't plan to let her drink that much... just a little tipsy would be fine!
As the saying goes, alcohol makes a coward brave, so she just needs to be brave enough to fight. She is not like Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi, who come from the countryside and can endure hardships... She needs to be coaxed a little bit...
"Brother Lin Chen, mom said that having three wives is very hard. You...you should take care of your health in the future..."
Chen Xueru's voice became quieter as she spoke, because Lin Chen's big hand around her waist had already started tickling her...
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor, haven't you forgotten? Strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy is what I'm best at... You'll understand in the future."
Lin Chen carried her into the bedroom...
"Wait a minute. I'll get you some water for a bubble bath... and I'll make you an orchid scent."
Chen Xueru was so nervous on the big bed that she could hear her own heartbeat...
"Ok!"
A few minutes later, a bucket of hot water was prepared, and Lin Chen filled the stove with coal and was about to go out.
"Brother Lin Chen, can you come over and hug me? Let's take a bath together! The bathtub is so big..."
Since my wife has invited me, what is there to wait for? In no time, Lin Chen came to the big bed wrapped in a bath towel.
Chen Xueru's arms, as white as lotus roots, pulled open the curtain...
Lin Chen picked her up. Although the candlelight was dim... she still instinctively protected her privacy with her hands.
Looking at his wife's fair face, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows at her.
Chen Xueru shyly buried her head in her man's chest.
"Don't look at me if you hate me..."
……
In the bathtub, Chen Xueru looked at the petals curiously.
"Brother Lin Chen, where did you get these?"
"In our own small pharmacy in Siheyuan, I collect some every year and then use a special method to air-dry and preserve them... Now when it comes into contact with water, it will melt again."
Chen Xueru didn't think too much about it, and the two of them started to play around under the influence of alcohol...
……
Half an hour later, the mandarin ducks were laid down, and Chen Xueru was a little regretful now. She didn't regret having the wedding night today, but she regretted not finding out the enemy's strength.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. The enemy is too strong, why did I forget to ask the two seniors for advice before challenging... At least I should be mentally prepared!
Being spoiled is not good, so Lin Chen had to continuously supply her with vitality to help her recover.
In the dim light, Lin Chen used a clean towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead... and saw tears in her eyes.
"Let's get here today!"
Chen Xueru hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear.
"Mom said that we have to go through this process sooner or later, so we might as well do it all at once. At worst, I won't open the door tomorrow... I... I am crying tears of happiness. I am still okay..."
"Well, mom is right! I will take care of you..."
……
More than nine o'clock in the evening
Lin Chen helped Chen Xueru tidy up the sweat-soaked hair on her cheeks.
"Thanks a lot!"
"It's not hard, I'm willing..."
The two of them chatted in low voices... Soon Chen Xueru fell asleep. She was too tired after more than an hour.
After Lin Chen helped her dispel her tiredness again, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
It's just dawn
The system's rewards arrived as expected.
[Host, good morning. I have inherited Sun Simiao's medical skills. The pupil technique adds the ability to identify people and distinguish evil (can help the host to distinguish the attitude of people around the host). Two acres of pasture, two acres of freshwater spirit pond, and two acres of seawater spirit pond are added. ]
Lin Chen first inherited the medical skills, and the three great doctors were finally gathered together.
A minute later, Lin Chen's mind was filled with new knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Most of Sun Simiao's inheritance was actually the art of treating medicine. As expected of a Taoist, he could use the herbs in his own space to make medicine.
At this time, Lin Chen activated his pupil technique and looked at the little cutie who was holding him tightly in his arms...
There were a few hundred small light spots with intimacy numbers displayed above Chen Xueru's head.
"I think a system intimacy of 100 is the maximum level!"
[Yes, intimacy of 100 means never betray. Others include loyalty, viciousness, and affinity.]
Lin Chen knew what it meant without the system's introduction.
"I see. This benchmark is useful! It will be much easier to distinguish friend from foe in the future. Just a glance will tell..."
Lin Chen changed into a comfortable position and cuddled his young wife to sleep in again... Ranch Spirit Pond slowly went to collect exquisite ingredients...
Chen Xueru moved her body in a daze, and her brows slightly frowned...
……
Courtyard house
outside the gate
Yi Zhonghai was depressed when he came back from the public toilet early in the morning. He was usually very confident and high-spirited. Why did he pee all over his shoes today?
Yi Zhonghai just arrived at the gate carrying the night bucket when he suddenly froze and the bucket in his hand fell to the ground.
He now thought of what Lin Chen had said at the time, that he only had three months to spare. Could it be that...
The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the more scared he became... He wanted to wait and see what the situation would be.
I had just offended him a few days ago, and now what should I do? A few days ago, I boasted to Jia Zhang that I was the best in the Siheyuan, and this slap in the face came too suddenly!
"Good morning, Old Yi! What are you thinking about? Standing in front of the door in a daze..."
Yi Zhonghai's thoughts were interrupted by Yan Bugui, who also got up early, and he hurriedly picked up the night bucket.
"It's too early for you. Whatever you think is wrong, it's the old lady's business! She is too suspicious every day. She suspects others of saying bad things about her even though she can't hear anything. Guangqi went to take care of her yesterday and was scolded. Now what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Yan Bugui looked towards the backyard and shook his head: "It's difficult!"
……
After getting up, Lin Chen prepared a nutritious breakfast for his wife, including boiled eggs and millet porridge.
Chen Xueru didn't even get out of the big bed, mainly because she couldn't get out now... She looked so pitiful because the swelling hadn't gone down yet.
Eating the boiled eggs peeled by Lin Chen made her feel sweet.
"Brother Lin Chen, you are so good to me. I will follow you for the rest of my life..."
Lin Chen looked at her and teased her.
"It's all my fault that you're in this state today. I must take good care of you..."
Chen Xueru's face immediately turned red again when she heard this. When she sat up just now, she felt a tearing sensation. It was his doing... It was too unusual for someone to do this. It was totally different from what her mother had told her.
"Brother Lin Chen, you are so annoying. Go to work now! I'm fine... Sister Huairu will come to accompany me later..."
Lin Chen kissed her again before locking the door and leaving.
Chen Xueru was laughing while eating eggs. Although she was a little uncomfortable now, it was nothing compared to the happiness in the next few decades. Only after experiencing the bitterness can you know the sweetness!
I can't let Xu Huizhen get away with it after I suffered a loss, and I won't tell her and let her cry.
Chen Xueru is now thinking about tricking her good sister Xu Huizhen... She also wants to team up with Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi not to tell her.
