After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

It was already evening when Xie Ran returned to Jinxiu Courtyard. The candlelight was glowing in the room. Gu Jin was half leaning on the beauty couch. The light blue satin middle dress outlined her curvy figure, making her look graceful and charming.

Xie Ran stood at the door without moving for a while. He was used to being alone and lonely. Ever since he got married, there was suddenly one more person in the house and many more things that did not belong to him. Just looking at them made him feel a little noisy.

Gu Jin noticed someone at the door and looked over.

Xie Ran did not miss the sharpness that flashed across her eyes. Only when he saw that it was him did a smile appear in his eyes.

"You're back?" She closed the book in her hand, stood up with a smile.

He also smiled like a bright moon and a gentle breeze, "What book are you reading?"

Xie Ran picked up the book, "Chen Guozhi? Do you like this kind of book?"

"The local customs and practices here seem more interesting." Gu Jin smiled and took the book from Xie Ran's hand and casually placed it on the table. She had to familiarize herself with the local customs and practices here as soon as possible so that she could do business and make money.

"Have you had your dinner yet?"

Xie Ran nodded, "I just used it in the study."

"That's good." Gu Jin rolled up his sleeves, looked at Xie Ran with bright eyes and said, "Then let's go take a bath."

Gu Jin's eyes are as bright as the moon and stars. When she looks at people, she likes to stare at the other person's eyes without blinking. Her sparkling peach blossom eyes are full of emotion without words, and it is easy for people to get lost in the charm between her eyebrows.

Before Xie Ran could come to his senses, Gu Jin grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the bathhouse.

The mist is hazy and warm, and it feels ambiguous and lingering when it blows on your face.

But when Xie Ran saw the things in the bathhouse clearly, he frowned slightly and asked in disbelief: "Is this... for me?"

"Of course!" Gu Jin looked at the "bathtub" that was tailor-made for Xie Ran with great pride. The proud look on his face seemed to say, "See, it was worth the five thousand taels!"

Gu Jin planned to use the most gentle method to remove the remaining toxins from Xie Ran's body, but in ancient times, continuous heating was not possible, and if he wanted to soak in the medicinal bath for a full hour, he had to upgrade the equipment.

Gu Jin initially considered using an iron pan, but it conducts heat too quickly and she was afraid of cooking Xie Ran.

After much thought, I decided to place the bathtub on the big pot, which would be much safer as it could be heated in water.

"No need." Every hair on Xie Ran's body expressed resistance.

She was the one who came up with the idea of ​​making him take a bath in an iron pot.

Gu Jin grabbed Xie Ran who was about to leave and said, "The remaining poison in your body must be removed, otherwise it will eat away at your body bit by bit.

It's not like you need to get an injection or take medicine, what's there to be afraid of!"

Is he afraid? Is he simply ashamed?

It’s not as comfortable as acupuncture and taking medicine.

Seeing that Xie Ran still refused to move, Gu Jin spoke again: "You just soak in it, and I have to add firewood to the fire below. I don't even think it's troublesome, so why are you hesitating?

Besides, your body is your own, you don’t want to become a powerless gigolo, do you? "

顾锦又苦口婆心的道：“你再想啊，你若真成了病秧子，日后再不小心娶个彪悍的夫人，她便是日日揍你你都没有还手之力。”

Xie Ran: “…” He really wanted to thank her whole family!

Xie Ran was afraid that Gu Jin would say something shocking again, so he could only say, "I understand. I'll trouble you, Madam."

Xie Ran emphasized the word "Madam". He would never marry a woman stronger than her in the future. Who else could cook her husband alive except her?

Xie Ran gritted his teeth and took off his gown piece by piece.

Gu Jin sat in front of the stove with a struggle in her mind. A devilish voice kept tempting her to look up, but her conscience advised her that doing so was against moral customs and order.

But then she thought again that she was a doctor and Xie Ran was her patient, so it was only right for her to examine him through observation, auscultation, and palpation.

Gu Jin was convinced by this reason and slowly raised his head.

But Xie Ran had already stepped onto the shelf and entered the bathtub, and she only saw his back.

When Xie Ran turned around, he did not miss the disappointment in her eyes. He frowned in confusion. What was she regretting?

The warm water exuded a strong herbal scent. Beads of sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, as if he was being marinated by the herbs.

Gu Jin sat in front of the stove, waving a palm-leaf fan out of boredom and yawning from time to time.

Xie Ran never knew that it would be so awkward for two people to be in the same room. He did not become a fish on the chopping board, but fell into someone else's medicine pot.

"Madam, this is the mung bean soup you ordered. It has been chilled." Ruyi walked in respectfully carrying a tray, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the incredible scene in front of her.

The young mistress stewed the third young master! ?

Gu Jin took the mung bean soup from the stunned Ruyi and kept sitting by the stove until she felt uncomfortable with the heat. Fortunately, she had foresight.

The mung bean soup was cool and sweet, and Gu Jin felt much more comfortable. He looked at Ruyi's round face and said with a smile, "Would you like a bowl?"

A trace of fear appeared on Ruyi's face, and she trembled and said, "Come...a bowl of what?"

The Third Young Master’s Broth?

"Mung bean soup, what else can you have?"

Gu Jin didn't understand Ruyi's train of thought. Just as half an hour was up, Gu Jin looked up and said to Xie Ran, "Come out, we'll continue tomorrow."

Xie Ran lowered his eyes and responded solemnly.

Ruyi looked at Xie Ran who was soaking in the bathtub, and then at Gu Jin who was calm and composed. Her worldview, which had not yet fully grown, was turned upside down.

The Third Young Master's nanny is truly an extraordinary woman. The Third Young Master actually obeyed her orders obediently and was stewed over. She must obey the Third Young Master's nanny's orders in the future, otherwise the Third Young Master might get angry and stew her over as well!

Seeing that they were not leaving and Xie Ran had no intention of getting up, Gu Jin pouted and took Ruyi back to the inner room first.

After a while, Xie Ran walked in wearing a moon-colored undershirt with a slightly red face.

Gu Jin pushed half a bowl of mung bean soup to him and said, "It's not that cold anymore. You should eat some to cool down."

Xie Ran sat down, and regained his gentle and elegant demeanor. "What are your plans for returning home tomorrow?"

Gu Jin ate mung bean soup and shook her head indifferently. There were no relatives of hers in the Bo's Mansion. Tomorrow would just be a formality. She just didn't know if Li and Gu Rou would cause trouble secretly.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you tomorrow and I won't let you suffer any injustice." Xie Ran always spoke slowly and softly, his eyes as clear as moonlight, very charming, and it would be easy for people to be immersed in his gentleness.

Gu Jin lowered his eyelashes and stirred the spoon in his hand irregularly, seeming to be distracted.

She pursed her lips, and suddenly raised her head to look at Xie Ran, her eyes burning, "Who should pay for the things we need to buy when we return home? Can we use the official account of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xie Ran: “…”
