Lihoumen

Chapter 59 Be My Wife with Ease
After returning from the clinic, it was already the afternoon. Qingqing went to Chunxi Hall first to inform him that Doctor Li Hua had not returned yet.

Li didn't hold out much hope, so she just said, "You've done your best, that's all. I'll report back to my mother later."

Qingqing asked, "How is mother-in-law now?"

Li glanced towards the inner room and whispered, "The swelling has gone down a bit, but he still complains of pain all the time and can't eat. He refused to take the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhang and insisted on asking for the Immortal Doctor Hua."

Then, she winked at Qingqing and said, "Forget it. Since Hua Yixian is not here, I will ask my husband to find a way to invite a royal doctor to take a look. You have been tired all day, so go back and rest first."

Qingqing had done her best and had no regrets. She said goodbye to Li and returned to her own Lan Yaju.

When the old lady saw Qingqing, she helped her undress and said, "Today, Aunt Yu sent someone to tell me that we missed a day today, so we may have to study for a longer period of time for etiquette class tomorrow. The messenger also reminded me that the old lady will celebrate her birthday in a while, and there will be many guests coming and going in the mansion, so the lady has to attend the social events with the ladies of the other rooms. We have to pay attention to the etiquette rules."

Qingqing nodded perfunctorily, but the scene of Doctor Xiaorong today kept appearing in her mind.

Doing what she likes without distraction makes her the happiest. However, she has never experienced that kind of satisfaction and peace of mind since she entered the marquis's mansion.

Qingqing looked at the vast sky through the window, and suddenly felt depressed in her heart.

Shen Han was busy today. After returning home, he first went to Chunxi Hall to visit his mother. When he returned to Lan Yaju, the moon was already high in the sky.

Qingqing was leaning on the couch in front of the window, reading a book. She had just come out of the shower and was wearing a moon-white nightgown with floral patterns. Her black hair was flowing down softly. The bright moonlight shone on her, making her look like a painting.
"Reading medical books again?" He walked to her side and looked down at her.

Qingqing did not stand up. She moved her eyes from the medical book to Shen Han's face and said to him, "I want to be a doctor."

Shen Han was stunned when he heard this. He stood in silence for a long time, then sat down on the bench next to Qingqing and asked slowly, "Are you missing home?"

Qingqing sat up, put the medical book aside, and said to Shen Han seriously, "I want to be a doctor. I spend my days in the mansion learning those boring rules and etiquette. I think it's just a waste of my life. My medical skills are not bad, and I could use them to cure diseases and save lives."

Shen Han saw that she was not joking, so he fell silent again. After a long while, he looked up at Qingqing and said slowly, "I know you have always liked to be a doctor, but now you are my wife, the mistress of this mansion, how can you go out and show your face in public."

He paused, frowned slightly and said, "There is one more thing I haven't been able to tell you yet. The Saint has promoted me to the position of the head of the Privy Council. From now on, you will be the head's wife, the most prestigious lady in the capital. Qingqing, you cannot practice medicine."

This was the first time he had mentioned his position to her since they had met.

Qingqing understood that Shen Han would never support her.

She didn't say anything more, just said calmly: "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

She had just taken a bath, and after saying this, she turned around and went to the inner room, spread out the quilt, and then got into bed.

Qingqing squinted her eyes, preparing to fall asleep, when she smelt a fresh breath and then Shen Han embraced her in his arms.

"What? Are you unhappy?" As he said that, he leaned over and kissed her.

He had just come out of the shower, and the man's sharp breath mixed with the fragrance of soapberry was even more exciting in the quiet night. Qingqing supported herself between the two of them with her hands, making a small space for herself. She stared at the handsome man in front of her: "I really want to be a doctor, do you have a way to help me realize it?"

Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness and also mixed with begging.

Shen Han leaned over and looked at her. He didn't answer, but leaned over and kissed her again. This time, he held her tightly under him. After a long and passionate struggle, she finally pushed him away again: "Can I?"

Surrounded by such an atmosphere, her voice became even softer.

Shen Han still didn't answer her. Instead, he moved closer to her and completely absorbed her into his body.

Although the two of them have been getting along for a while, Shen Han's toughness and bravery still makes Qingqing unbearable many times, so Shen Han always controls his temper and accommodates his young wife a little.

But this time, his flames nearly devoured her.

Finally, he propped himself up on the bed with both hands and held her under him. He stared at her for a moment, then leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Be good, just be my wife."

Shen Han appears to be cold and stern, like an unreachable iceberg, but once he becomes gentle, he is like a refreshing spring.

Just like now, when he said this, his voice was gentle and doting. No matter how strong-minded a woman was, she would be unable to help but indulge in it and find it difficult to extricate herself.

"Okay." Finally, Qingqing nodded and agreed.

Shen Han looked at her, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he leaned down again.

Shen Han was newly married and in the prime of his life, but he had sex twice in one night, which was his first time.

The next day, Qingqing had just finished breakfast when Nanny Yu came over.

"Madam, the old lady's birthday is less than two months away, so you have to hurry up. The most basic thing is that you must learn the skills of the imperial hairpin. You are the head wife of the third room, and you can't not even wear a flowing hairpin when the time comes."

Although Nanny Yu was strict, she was not a power-hungry person. From the beginning to the end, she always treated Qingqing as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. She taught her strictly on a daily basis, hoping that she could reach the standards of a noble lady as soon as possible.

Although Qingqing didn't like Aunt Yu, she knew her character and agreed, "Thank you, Aunt. You have taught me for so many years, but I haven't made much progress. I feel bad about it."

In fact, Nanny Yu likes Qingqing very much. It is hard not to like a woman like Qingqing, unless one has prejudice against her.

"I don't feel tired, but Madam, you have to understand this. The Third Young Master is now in a high position and has great power. You are one of the most noble ladies in the capital. If there is anything wrong, it will not only be you who will be embarrassed, but also the Third Young Master will be embarrassed. Don't you think this is reasonable?"

Qingqing nodded: "I know."

"Madam, you are very smart. The main reason why you have not made much progress in etiquette is that you don't like these things from the bottom of your heart." As she said this, Nanny Yu sighed, "You! Just think of it as for the sake of the Third Young Master and pay more attention to it."
