Chapter 537: Chapter 190 The True and Fake Fiancé_2
The dicine pot was exquisite, engraved with a delicate treasure motif, and a small silver dicine hamr lay inside.
Ordinary doctors use wooden jars for their dicine pots, and silver jars are very rare. This silver dicine pot belonging to Lu Tong was quite special.
He reached out and took the silver jar, "Why would Doctor Lu use a silver dicine pot?"
Lu Tong turned around, her face changing color, and snatched the dicine pot from his hand, "Don’t touch!"
Her movents were so quick that Ji Xun was caught off guard. It took him a mont to regain his composure, looking at her with surprise.
"I..."
Lu Tong steadied herself and explained unnaturally, "I don’t like others touching my things."
Ji Xun paused and nodded, not saying anything further.
The two of them fell silent for a mont, and the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward.
Just then, a call of "Doctor Lu" suddenly ca from outside.
Lu Tong looked towards the window and saw a bright green shadow fly in, and the face of a young man appeared from behind the door, greeting her with a smile, "It’s been a long ti since we’ve seen each other!"
It was Duan Xiaoyan.
Following behind Duan Xiaoyan was another person. Pei Yunng was in a silver-white cloud brocade robe, belted with a holster. The refreshing color made him seem less sharp, charming yet elegant. If one overlooked the hint of a smile at the corner of his lips, he and Ji Xun would look just like brothers, both graceful and captivating.
Walking behind the young man, Pei Yunng was slightly taken aback upon seeing Ji Xun there.
Ji Xun nodded to both of them.
Duan Xiaoyan also noticed Ji Xun and paused, "Does Doctor Lu have visitors?"
Ji Xun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
This remark made it sound as if they were the ones familiar with the dical Officer Institute, and Ji Xun was just an occasional visitor.
However, Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
The awkwardness from earlier had finally been broken.
She stood up and looked towards the two who had arrived unexpectedly, "Young Master Duan, Marshal Pei, is there sothing you need?"
Before Pei Yunng could speak, Duan Xiaoyan began excitedly, "Yes, there’s sothing! Doctor Lu, I think I’ve overeaten again these past few days. Hearing that the Marshal was going to visit the dical Officer Institute to consult with you about Miss Treasure Bead’s prescription, I thought I’d co along. The Appetite Pills you gave
last ti worked very well for ; I’m here to ask for two more bottles—"
He had t Pei Yunng that morning at the entrance of the Palace Marshal’s Mansion and, hearing that Pei Yunng was heading to the dical Officer Institute and that it wasn’t his shift today, decided to co along.
Lu Tong nodded upon hearing this, "Young Master Duan frequently suffers from indigestion, using only the Appetite Pills might not be appropriate. I should take your pulse and prescribe a new formula for you to nourish and regulate your spleen and stomach."
"That would be great!"
As the two conversed, the other two n in the room remained silent. The pharmacy was already small and suddenly felt a bit crowded with two more people.
Pei Yunng’s smile faded as he entered the room, leaning against the window as if casually, his gaze sweeping over Ji Xun.
Ji Xun stood up, "Doctor Lu has patients to see, so it would be inappropriate for
to linger. Rember to review the gold guidelines when they co in, and I will return in a few days to inquire about them."
Having said this, he nodded to everyone in the room and prepared to leave.
Pei Yunng stayed still, and as Ji Xun passed by him, a loud shout suddenly ca from behind—
"Wait!"
Before anyone could react, Duan Xiaoyan quickly stepped in front of Ji Xun, grabbing the jade pendant tied to his waist with a ribbon, and spoke excitedly.
"Isn’t this Doctor Lu’s jade? How co it’s on you!"
Ji Xun was taken aback.
Lu Tong was also montarily stunned.
Pei Yunng slowly furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the jade jue at Ji Xun’s waist.
Today, Ji Xun wore a snow-white robe, his favorite clean color, and the white jade at his waist almost blended with his clothes, making it nearly imperceptible without a close look.
However, Duan Xiaoyan was holding onto the jade jue tightly, his eyes practically glued to one side of the jade pendant.
"Yes, this is definitely the jade from Doctor Lu!"
Duan Xiaoyan was very certain.
He had a deep mory of this piece of white jade. On Huangmao Hill, after Zhizi damaged it, Pei Yun had employed Master Lu to repair it, which cost a considerable amount of silver.
This large sum of silver, though not his own, had also caused him much distress. For this reason, when he returned the jade to Lu Tong, Duan Xiaoyan had carefully inspected it for any cracks, hoping to find the slightest imperfection to save so silver.
Of course, to no avail.
But this piece of jade, which had been rely valuable before but beca truly precious after the repair, would be recognizable to him even if it turned to ash. The contrived High Scholar Playing Zither Picture, its imperfect shape, and the superfluous extra zither string added...
It was definitely the sa piece of white jade he had returned to Lu Tong!
His movents were too forceful, almost breaking the tassel that held the jade jue. Ji Xun frowned slightly and pulled back the white jade from his grasp.
