The Demon Lords

Chapter 1018: Chapter 237: Healing Illness (Part 3)

The carriage moved along,

Liu Ruqing was kneeling at Zheng Fan’s feet, just like a typical maid’s posture.

Lord Zheng sat upright and proper, but every now and then he would lower his head to glance at the person before him.

By this point, Lord Zheng had gained a new understanding of the luxury of wealthy families, paying attention to detail, detail, detail; just look at their attention to detail!

Liu Ruqing’s brother Liu Zhong lived in a small dwelling, rented with Liu Ruqing’s help, while he attended the Fan Family’s private school daily.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the dwelling, and the accompanying Fan Mansion guards swiftly climbed over the walls to control a maid and an old caretaker inside.

Liu Ruqing was momentarily taken aback, and Zheng Fan had to reassure her:

"These people overreacted, let them go."

The people were released.

Liu Ruqing understood that her brother’s health was the most critical. The more the Fan Family valued Zheng Fan, the more it indicated the excellence of Zheng Fan’s medical skills.

This woman really didn’t know that the man she had been kneeling before all the way had no medical expertise and the most common prescription he had given was "drink more hot water."

Also, since the maid and caretaker had been controlled first, no one informed those inside, allowing Liu Ruqing and Zheng Fan to stride directly inside, although not entirely, since the depth of this dwelling wasn’t large.

"Ah Brother, Ah Brother, sister is here to see you, Ah Brother."

Liu Ruqing reached out to knock on the door.

At a time like this, her brother’s bedroom door was still tightly closed, making her think that her brother’s health had worsened, which caused her great anxiety.

Suddenly, there was a commotion inside, accompanied by the sound of a cup shattering on the floor.

Liu Ruqing’s face changed in shock, thinking there might be a criminal in her brother’s bedroom.

Lord Zheng immediately moved forward and kicked open the bedroom door.

What a scene,

inside, two people were facing each other in conversation.

One of the young men was thin and frail but bore some resemblance to Liu Ruqing in the eyes and brows;

As for the other;

"Mingyan, why are you here, why are you...?"

Liu Ruqing exclaimed.

The other young man was called Fan Mingyan, the son of the third branch of the Fan Family.

Lord Zheng was quite surprised, not expecting that accompanying Liu Ruqing to help with the treatment this morning would reveal such a scene of Jin land customs. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Hence, Liu Zhong’s poor health was not without reason.

Liu Ruqing was both angry and embarrassed, angry that her brother had clandestinely done such things, embarrassed that it involved a Fan Family descendant. For a moment, overwhelmed with rage, Liu Ruqing spit out blood and fell backward.

Lord Zheng quickly caught her.

Liu Zhong, seeing his sister being held by a stranger, immediately stepped forward.

But Lord Zheng’s gaze immediately sharpened, glaring at him.

Frightened, Liu Zhong, already weak in body, directly sat down on the ground.

Lord Zheng simply lifted Liu Ruqing into his arms, saying to those around him, "Return to the Fan Mansion."

On the way back in the carriage,

even more comfortable than before.

Zheng Fan sat, while Liu Ruqing was held in his arms.

The carriage shook, inevitably creating some movement, and although the pleasure here couldn’t match the torrential rains over Mount Wushan, there was a gentle elegance reminiscent of a small bridge and flowing water.

The most amusing part was when Lord Zheng realized that Liu Ruqing had already woken up, as she had merely fainted from anger, not due to any serious ailment.

However, first having revealed her brother’s disgrace before an "uncle," and secondly, her current position was too embarrassing, Liu Ruqing kept her eyes closed, continuing to feign unconsciousness.

Yet, how could such details possibly escape Lord Zheng’s notice? He intentionally didn’t expose her, finding it all the more entertaining.

Suddenly, the carriage halted.

"Make way, this is a Fan Family carriage!"

"What’s so special about being a Fan Family carriage, do you know which noble is inside? Get out of my way, quickly make a path!"

Zheng Fan furrowed his brows slightly, feeling the quarrel disrupted his enjoyment, and immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage, saying to a guard outside:

"Let’s give way."

Not to mention that being in the Fan Family carriage at this moment wasn’t enough to argue over mere Fan Family dignity with others, even considering Zheng Fan’s current identity in the Chu region, it wasn’t suitable to cause trouble.

Meanwhile,

in the opposite carriage:

"All right, all right, Mi Family sister, let’s let them go first." free𝑤ebnovel.com

"How could this be, why should we..."

Pausing as the driver outside responded: "Miss, the opposite carriage has given way."

The young woman immediately chuckled: "Ha, they know what’s good for them."

Saying this,

the young woman reached out to grab the hand of the maiden beside her,

and laughed:

"Good sister, you must change your temper; otherwise, how can you maintain yourself without being bullied when you get married?"

"I know, Mi Family sister."

"Okay, okay, you’re tired of me, aren’t you?"

"No, of course not."

The carriage resumed its journey due to the Fan Family carriage making way.

"Good sister, identity is one’s own, but when married into another family, though they might not dare bully you openly, behind your back, who knows what tricks they’ll play. You, you must be firm at the start to establish rules."

"Mi Family sister, I’m not married yet, what you’re saying is quite embarrassing."

"I know, I know, oh, who tells my princess to be thin-skinned?"
