This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me - Chapter 396 - 396: Shopping (2)

Chapter 396: Shopping (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the hall of the clinic, Madam Wang was leaning against the counter and chatting with a madam.”… Men are all amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Think about it. Your husband is troubled by trivial matters all day in the government office. When he comes home at night, you’re nagging in his ear about trivial matters. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to pay attention to you either…”

“But he hasn’t gone out with me for a long time. He would rather drink alone on the street than eat at home…”

“That’s because it’s boring to stay at home. Go to the Fan family’s store later to buy some clothes. When your husband is reading at night, you can say that the weather is hot and undress in front of him to show the new clothes. If he secretly glances at you, go over and sit in his arms. Tell him you want to read together and ask him what the book means. Even if you understand, you have to pretend not to understand…”

“Eh-? Isn’t… isn’t this the same as brothel women…”

“That’s why men like to go to brothels and spend a lot of money. If a woman wants to secure her position as the head of a brothel, she has to be a noble lady in front of others and a… Huh?”

While Madam Wang was speaking, she suddenly noticed a beauty in a blue dress standing at the door and eavesdropping. She hurriedly greeted, “Welcome, Miss Ning’er. 1 haven’t seen you in a long time.”

The chatting madam noticed that someone was here, so she hurriedly carried a few items and left.

Luo Ning’s gaze was a little strange. She went to the counter and handed back the Soul Separating Needle and other items. “Mrs. Wang, you know so much.” “Sigh- Doctors are benevolent. 1 mainly treat the young ladies and madams of Literary Virtue Bridge. Most of them are ‘illnesses from the heart’. Instead of going to doctors after falling ill, it’s better to start from daily life and treat their mentality first.”

“That does make sense…”

Mrs. Wang placed the remaining medicine under the counter and said, “Sir Ye is really amazing. He even captured Zhang Jinglin. This morning, Imperial Physician Wang even went over to take a look. He hasn’t returned yet. He’s probably talking about pharmacology. Although Zhang Jinglin doesn’t have any medical ethics, his medical skills will likely benefit many people in the future. I heard that Sir Ye is injured. How is his current situation?”

“He strained himself. On the way back, the doctor took care of him. He’s fine now.”

Madam Wang leaned on the counter and moved closer. “What about that aspect?”

??

Luo Ning blinked. She was still not used to this topic, but she was treating his illness, so she wasn’t afraid. She thought for a moment and answered truthfully, “Well… it’s quite good. There’s no problem.”

“Can you take it now?”

“I… I’m alright…”

Madam Wang nodded with a smile. She looked down at Luo Ning’s waist. “Have you tried the method 1 told you about last time?”

Luo Ning simply shook her head and acted as though she were avoiding a snake. “No… 1 really can’t do that kind of thing. Madam Wang, is there any other way? Something more normal…”

“The normal things are written in books, and they’ll be taught when we get married. Some madams come to look for me because it’s too normal and boring, so they want to ask about the abnormal things.”

“Uh…”

“You can’t do it… Let me think… Oh, right.” Madam Wang waved her fan gently. After some thought, she leaned closer. “Go to Fan Jiuniang’s store later and ask her to get you two pieces of jewelry for the boudoir. She makes them all herself. The price is a little high, but the workmanship and style are good, and they won’t hurt the skin…”

Luo Ning was a little confused. “The Fan family also sells jewelry?”

“Yes, but they’re not on the head.”

“Uhh?” 𝓷oν𝑒𝙡𝖇𝔦𝔫.𝔫.𝑛𝔢𝑡

“Oh, you’ll know when you ask. I’ve never used them before…”

Luo Ning felt that the so-called ‘jewelry’ should be torture tools used in the boudoir. If she really bought anything, she would be reaping what she sowed.

But when she thought of how Third Lady had been unreasonable last night, Luo Ning thought for a moment and didn’t say anything. After bidding farewell to Madam Wang, she went to the next store…

Unknowingly, it was already evening.

In a private room of a large restaurant on Parasol Street, gentle music sounded. Across the street was the Three Yuan Building, which Ye Jingtang had destroyed. Now, the gambling den had closed, and a new owner was renovating it.

The environment of the private room was excellent. There was a table in the middle, and there were couches and a Go table around it. On the table were all kinds of delicacies from all over the world. Among them was the restaurant’s signature dish, fish in vinegar sauce. Beside it was a jar of Sha Province’s specialty, Fierce Woman’s Worry, and a few bottles of fruit wine.

Ye Jingtang was sitting at the banquet table. He had shopped from morning to evening, and the dignified Martial Chief had almost broken his legs. Even now, he was still doubting life.

On the other hand, the empress dowager, who looked delicate and soft, was in excellent spirits. She didn’t look tired at all after walking all day. She was sitting at the table, holding a small wine cup and playing a drinking game with Daoist Xuanji.

Daoist Xuanji didn’t look like a scholarly lady at all when drinking at the table. Her posture was lazy, and she was half-leaning on the table. Her cheeks were red, and just by looking at her eyes, one could feel her demonic aura.

As a man, Ye Jingtang should be drinking strong wine with Daoist Xuanji, but all living beings were equal in front of Fierce Woman’s Worry. If he drank half a catty of it, he might do something treasonous to the empress dowager. Perhaps he would even attempt a twofer with one cannon. For safety reasons, it was better to drink fruit wine with the empress dowager.

The empress dowager had a great time shopping today. She was half drunk, but she still had no intention of returning to the palace. After drinking a cup of wine, she turned around and looked at the handsome young master accompanying her with drunken eyes. “Ye Jingtang, why aren’t you saying anything?”

The private room was brightly lit, and the empress dowager’s eyes were very big. Her clear eyes reflected the candlelight and looked sparkling. Coupled with her gentle and mature drunken state, her lethality was quite astonishing..
