Chapter 9: The Regent is Jealous

Xiao Yuheng cried out in pain.

Jing Gonggong quickly covered his face, pretending not to see this tragic scene.

Xiao Yuheng's face turned blue with anger. Was this how she treated her patients? She could even ruin a wound that was healing.

Gu Jinyan awkwardly picked up a teacup and tried to wipe the tea off with his sleeve.

He chuckled awkwardly.

He felt extremely regretful.

He shouldn't have been greedy for beauty.

What should he do next to ask for wealth and treasures?

This was a great favor.

Gu Jinyan's face twisted into a frown.

"Do you still need treatment?" Xiao Yuheng asked with a grim face.

Gu Jinyan shook his head.

The poison had already been expelled from his body, so there was no problem. It was just the matter of the medical fee...

Gu Jinyan sighed, "Yesterday, I observed the celestial phenomena and knew that the regent might be in trouble. I rushed here without having breakfast and even missed lunch. I immediately administered acupuncture to the regent. You..."

"Jing Gonggong, prepare fine wine and delicacies," Xiao Yuheng immediately ordered.

The family members were speechless.

Why did she need fine wine and delicacies?

"This is a life-saving favor," Gu Jinyan took the initiative to assert his rights.

Xiao Yuheng's face turned dark.

Thinking about the moment when he was feeling dizzy, there was someone sucking the poisoned blood from his chest. Although she was not well-behaved, she had a kind heart.

He had heard that if a woman had intimate contact with a man, the man would be responsible for her.

Miss Gu had just broken off her engagement, and it was not easy for her.

He was also unmarried at his age.

Marrying her was not impossible. She just wanted to use the favor of saving his life to offer herself to him. He was not a stingy person.

"Marriage..." Xiao Yuheng was about to speak.

Gu Jinyan, with a puffed-up look, earnestly asserted her rights, "As your benefactor, how can I be dismissed with just fine wine and delicacies? Your regent's mansion has plenty of wealth and treasures. At the very least, you should give me some!"

Goodness!

As the regent, he was not as valuable as gold and silver?

Xiao Yuheng was at a loss for words, "Get out, stop making a scene!"

"Quickly, kick him out!"

Jing Gonggong, who had been enjoying the show with a smile, hurriedly pushed Gu Jinyan out. Gu Jinyan was furious and held onto the door, "You have to pay the medical fee!"

"Get out!" Xiao Yuheng was so angry that he wanted to throw something at her.

The medical fee, the medical fee!

Were those pieces of gold really that valuable?

Jing Gonggong pried Gu Jinyan's fingers apart and pushed her out, "Miss, come on, why are you bringing up the medical fee now..."

"Just treated the person, and now you're asking for the fee? When else should I ask for it?" Gu Jinyan looked puzzled, "Is the regent's mansion so stingy?"

Jing Gonggong was also puzzled.

The regent was not stingy at all!

Wasn't it normal to ask for the medical fee at this time?

What was wrong with the regent?

Why was he angry? He had grown up with the regent since childhood, and he should understand the regent's temperament the best...

What's going on!

"The regent's temperament is really unpredictable. I've done a good deed for nothing!" Gu Jinyan was so angry.

Xiao Yuheng was speechless all night.

Miss Gu was really unreliable. Could she do anything reliable?

The next day, with panda eyes, he couldn't help but ask Jing Gonggong, "Where is she? Did she have something delicious to eat?"

"Your Highness, are you talking about Miss Gu? She hurried back yesterday and didn't have time to eat," Jing Gonggong said matter-of-factly.

Why did she let her go back? Xiao Yuheng felt a sense of frustration.

Jing Gonggong looked around.

The prince didn't ask her to stay, did he?

"Let's go," Xiao Yuheng said with a black face, getting up.

"Your Highness, you're not fully recovered yet. Where are you going?" Jing Gonggong hurriedly followed.

"Bring the valuable gold and silver jewelry," Xiao Yuheng said with a dark face.

With Jing Gonggong, he rushed to the capital.

When they arrived at the Gu Mansion, Xiao Yuheng felt that something was not right. He had no reason to visit, so he used lightness skills to take Jing Gonggong to the rooftop.

After searching for a while, they finally heard some voices in the study of the Minister of Personnel.

The Minister eagerly took out a scroll, unfolded it, and said to Gu Jinyan, "Ayan, last time you complained that the young man from the Marquis's family was handsome but had a lowly background, right? These days, I've been searching for a long time. Take a look at the second son of the Minister's family. He's handsome, and I heard that he's also knowledgeable. He's the legitimate second son. If you're not willing to marry him, I'll just bring him over and have you two get married in front of me."

Gu Jinyan's face froze, showing a complex expression.

Goodness.

Did the Minister have a ceiling on his understanding? Was he promoted through bribery and corruption?

Was she implying that she found the young man handsome but with a lowly background?

Was she thinking that the Minister's behavior was too much like a bandit...

On the rooftop, Jing Gonggong, who couldn't see the scroll, knew the legitimate second son of the Minister's family. He enthusiastically said, "The Minister's judgment is indeed good. The legitimate second son of the Minister's family is indeed handsome. He's much better than that guy from the declining Marquis's family."

"If it's a formal marriage proposal, the Minister's family will definitely not agree. But if the Minister brings him over, it's feasible. The Minister's strategy is top-notch."

Xiao Yuheng was so angry that he slapped Jing Gonggong's head heavily.

He gritted his teeth in frustration.

Is Xiao Yuheng not handsome?

Can the second son of the prime minister's family compare?

Why does she need gold, silver, and jewelry? Isn't he more valuable than those things? And what's with the prime minister's family's second son...

No way!

Xiao Yuheng turned and walked away.

The Duke quietly reminded, "Your Highness, the gold and silver jewelry brought has not been given to Miss Gu yet!"

Xiao Yuheng snorted coldly.

This is not enough!

Does she think she's stingy, so she asked the Lord Shangshu to find a handsome husband for her?

When it comes to money, he never loses to anyone!

He still needs to prepare more gold and silver jewelry to show her his power. Otherwise, if she hasn't seen good things before and casually falls for a second son of a prime minister's family, that wouldn't be a good thing.

The Regent hurriedly pulled the Duke of Jing using light skills and flew out of the Regent's Mansion.

The Duke of Jing was puzzled, "Your Highness, are we not giving the gold and silver? Although it's not a lot, it's not a good look for our mansion to be stingy, is it?"

The Duke of Jing muttered behind him.
