Chapter 81: Volume 1, Chapter 81: Miss Yun, our master requests your presence

"Is Miss Yun looking for something?" He Mingxuan asked.

In truth, he had seen Yun Qiyue much earlier, but he hadn't dared to approach to confirm.

Yun Qiyue didn't overthink it and said, "I'm looking for a shop; I want to open a medical hall."

He Mingxuan thought of how his younger sister had been saved by Yun Qiyue, so he didn't find it strange. After a moment's thought, he said, "I happen to be familiar with all the shops on this street. If Miss Yun trusts me, I can help you keep an eye out."

Seeing Yun Qiyue look toward him, He Mingxuan smiled slightly. "My little sister was saved by you, Miss Yun. Your medical skills must be extraordinary. If you open a medical hall, it will surely benefit the masses. I should do my utmost for such a matter."

Yun Qiyue felt that He Mingxuan was a good person.

He could show kindness even to someone like her, whose appearance was flawed.

However, the words He Mingxuan said about benefiting the masses inexplicably made Yun Qiyue feel ashamed.

Benefit the masses? She didn't have such grand ambitions.

She just wanted to earn money and, incidentally, earn points.

Still, since He Mingxuan said he was familiar with the shops on the street, there was no need for her to be polite, so she nodded. "In that case, many thanks, Young Master He."

He Mingxuan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "You are about the same age as my little sister, and you are a friend she has acknowledged. Calling me 'Young Master He' is inevitably distant. Why not call me 'Big Brother He'?"

Yun Qiyue didn't think much of it and replied quite readily, "In that case, Big Brother He, don't call me 'Miss Yun' either. Call me Qiyue."

"Alright, Qiyue."

The carriage soon arrived at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. He Mingxuan stepped out of the carriage first, and a servant soon came to greet them.

However, the servant was taken aback when he saw a young lady step out of He Mingxuan's carriage.

Their young master... was actually bringing a young lady home?

Just as the servant was about to let his imagination run wild, He Mingxuan instructed, "Go quickly and notify my little sister. Tell her Qiyue has arrived."

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately entered the mansion gates.

Only on the way to notify He You Lan did the servant finally remember who Qiyue was.

Wasn't she the one the Princess had been mentioning frequently in the mansion these past few days?

The servant dared not delay and ran with lightning speed.

He You Lan was overjoyed to hear that Yun Qiyue had arrived. Ignoring her maid's attempts to stop her, she was about to run out, but fortunately, He Mingxuan and Yun Qiyue arrived shortly after.

Seeing He You Lan's state, Yun Qiyue stepped forward to take her pulse and cautioned, "Your body is still weak right now; you must not experience extreme joy or sorrow, nor should you run."

He You Lan stuck out her tongue upon hearing this. "That's just because I was happy to hear you had come."

As she spoke, He You Lan pouted. "You don't know, you are the first friend to come to my home to play with me."

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked at He You Lan's excited and joyful expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Fine, having a friend is not bad either.

"Let's go to your room first; I'll take a look at you."

Afterward, the two went to He You Lan's room. As a man, He Mingxuan naturally had to wait outside.

Once inside the room, Yun Qiyue asked He You Lan to take off her clothes.

Although Yun Qiyue was a woman, the feeling of undressing in front of someone else was still strange. He You Lan hesitated and blushed.

Yun Qiyue was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

In the end, He You Lan took off her clothes, and Yun Qiyue began to apply needles to He You Lan without changing her expression.

A full set of the needle array took nearly half an hour. He You Lan's complexion improved slightly, but Yun Qiyue looked somewhat exhausted.

"Qiyue, are you alright?" He You Lan asked, looking at Yun Qiyue's tired appearance.

Yun Qiyue shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yet, Yun Qiyue felt a bit alarmed in her heart.

If it were said that the original owner's constitution was poor at the beginning, making her feel drained after applying needles, that would be normal.

But the Body Tempering Pill provided by the system had raised her constitution to be better than an ordinary person's, even better than her own body's condition in her previous life. Why did she still feel so tired every time she completed a needle array?

Her hand quietly fell onto her own pulse. Judging by the pulse, there was nothing wrong with her body, and her Ghost Hand had not detected any issues with her body either.

"Qiyue, little sister."

Just as Yun Qiyue was feeling puzzled, He Mingxuan's voice came from outside the door.

Yun Qiyue signaled for He You Lan not to get out of bed yet and to take a medicinal bath later, then she opened the door and walked out.

At this time, He You Lan's parents, the Marquis of Ningyuan, He Qing, and Bai Shi, had heard the news and were waiting outside the door.

Seeing Yun Qiyue come out, both of them looked at her very nervously.

"Miss Yun, how is our You Lan?" Bai Shi asked.

He Qing also wore a nervous expression; it seemed these two truly cared about He You Lan.

To tell the truth, Yun Qiyue felt a bit envious.

In her previous life, she had no parents; in this life, she still had no parents. She had yet to experience what it felt like to be cared for by parents.

"Mother, don't be anxious. Qiyue is tired; let her rest and tell us slowly." He Mingxuan noticed that Yun Qiyue's complexion was not right and feared his mother might frighten her.

Bai Shi subconsciously glanced at her son upon hearing this, but she didn't overthink it. Instead, she looked at Yun Qiyue apologetically. "Miss Yun must be tired. Shall I have someone prepare some soup for nourishment?"

Yun Qiyue shook her head. "It's fine, but the Princess still needs to take a medicinal bath."

Upon hearing about the medicinal bath, He Qing hurriedly had someone fetch paper and a brush.

Yun Qiyue quickly wrote down the prescription for the medicinal bath. "This medicinal bath can be taken by the Princess once every three days."

Afterward, the servants went to prepare the bath, while Yun Qiyue explained He You Lan's condition to the He family.

Although He You Lan's body was weak, it did not require excessive pampering; she needed to move around and bask in the sun often. She then mentioned some dietary restrictions.

The He family was most concerned about whether He You Lan's health would improve, and Yun Qiyue clearly indicated that although the process was slow, a full recovery was not difficult.

Perhaps because Yun Qiyue had saved He You Lan at the Princess Mansion earlier, the He family had great faith in her words and were even more deeply grateful to her.

Afterward, because it was getting late and nearing dinner time, the He family prepared to keep Yun Qiyue for a meal before she left, but Yun Qiyue declined.

The He family did not insist and had a carriage hitched to send Yun Qiyue back.

He Mingxuan had the heart to accompany her, but fearing it would affect Yun Qiyue's reputation, he ultimately held back.

On the other side, Yun Qiyue arrived back at the General's Mansion quickly by carriage.

After eating a simple meal, Yun Qiyue returned to her room.

However, just as she entered the room, Yun Qiyue sensed someone inside and immediately became alert.

She gripped the poison needle in her hand, but as she turned to attack the person in the room, she saw a ghost mask.

Yun Qiyue was stunned, then she put away the poison needle and frowned at the masked person, looking displeased.

Seeing Yun Qiyue was angry, the masked person hurriedly explained, "Miss Yun, our master requests your presence..." ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
