“`
She frowned and bent down to pick up the tea leaves, then suddenly looked up at him.
“Young Master Wuxin, if I brew this cup of light tea for you, will you lay hands on my husband to heal him?” A cup of light tea in exchange for a chance at healing didn’t sound too bad.
Young Master Wuxin, who was examining a mural on the wall at the moment, turned back at her words, a face full of impatience: “Hurry up. If you dawdle any longer, do you want to taste the torment of an upset stomach for a few more days?”
When under the eaves, one can’t help but bow the head.
Liu Sisi clenched her teeth—it was just a matter of brewing some light tea, which wasn’t a big deal; she had done it before!
The only difference was between brewing tea willingly and being forced to do so.
This situation, witnessed by the others inside the house, caused them all to glare with anger, and even Di Hongyuan furrowed his brows.
Putting aside the identity of Princess Liu Sisi, even as the Madam Marquis, there would be no one who could casually boss her around.
Yet, the man in front of her did just that, with an impatient demeanor to boot—completely asking for a beating!
Methodically preparing the utensils, selecting the water, taking the fire, waiting for the soup, and practicing the tea, she followed each step until a curling tea fragrance gradually rose.
Even with her anxiety burning, Liu Sisi had to calm down and carefully brew the tea in her hands.
When the tea was ready, Liu Sisi placed the tea on a tray and brought it to Young Master Wuxin.
“To have good tea but no good water, I’m afraid it’s a waste of your fine tea leaves, Young Master Wuxin. Try it and see if it meets your taste.”
As she spoke, she held up the teacup to offer it.
Young Master Wuxin stared at her for a while but did not reach out to take the teacup.
Liu Sisi’s arms grew weak from holding the cup, and even her smiling face was almost faltering, but the other party still made no move, and the room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
He suddenly laughed, casually took the teacup from her hands, and smashed it to the ground.
“With tea like this, even pigs wouldn’t drink it, yet you have the audacity to offer it to me? Brew it again!”
Da Niu, who was beside her, couldn’t stand the other party’s behavior, clenched his fists tightly, and, despite trying to hold back, stood up in protest.
“Young Master Wuxin, as a lowly servant, I have words that perhaps shouldn’t be said, but still, I feel compelled to speak.”
“If you know you shouldn’t speak, then don’t.”
Without even fluttering an eyelid, Young Master Wuxin turned his head to look at Liu Sisi: “Your servant truly has no manners, speaking out of turn at such a time. If he were under my command, he’d have been pulled out and beaten with a heavy plank long ago.”
Da Niu’s face turned pale, he glanced at Liu Sisi and, biting his teeth, said: “There are some things our princess is too polite to say, so let this servant speak for her. Our princess has been enduring for the sake of your acclaimed medical skills. How can you bear to trample on her kindness like this? Healers are bound to save lives, but you use this duty to blackmail the princess, which is truly… an act of a scoundrel.”
“Presumptuous! Who gave you the right to speak here? Step back!”
Liu Sisi reprimanded him harshly.
Da Niu seemed to want to say more but suddenly clutched his throat with bulging eyes, the veins on his face rising like twisted earthworms. He covered his throat in agony, completely unable to speak.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
Seeing the situation at hand, Liu Sisi’s face turned pitch black.
Turning to look at Young Master Wuxin, who appeared nonchalant, she said, “There is a saying, Young Master Wuxin, that when you beat a dog, you should look at its owner. If Da Niu said something wrong, it is for me, his master, to discipline. As a guest, aren’t you overreaching yourself by taking matters into your own hands?”
Young Master Wuxin snorted coldly from his nose: “If not for the fact he is your servant, would he still be alive at this moment?”
“`
“So, I should thank the Young Master, should I?”
Liu Sisi was clearly anguished as well.
“As long as you know.”

Young Master Wuxin adopted an ‘I did this for your own good’ stance, “What are you waiting for? Why aren’t you rushing to brew a new cup? Do you no longer wish for me to save someone?”
Turning to look at Da Niu’s pained face and thinking of Di Yelei still suffering from high fever in the inner room, Liu Sisi finally gritted her teeth.
“Fine! I’ll brew it!”
As long as you dare to drink, I dare to brew!
Compared to the first earnest attempt, this time Liu Sisi’s tea-brewing was purely perfunctory. The boiled water hadn’t boiled, and she had used too many tea leaves; when the half-boiled water hit them, it became a cup full of tea leaves. Without any care, she slammed the teacup in front of him with a thud.
“Here! The tea is ready!”
Throughout the whole process of Liu Sisi brewing the tea, he hadn’t said a word.
He glanced down at the teacup with a few leaves hanging over the edge, extended two fingers elegantly, and carefully picked it up. He pretended to blow on it to cool it down before bringing it to his lips and taking a light sip.
He then nodded, finally setting down the teacup, “Excellent tea! This tea is truly unique, uniquely yours, Liu Sisi. Shall we? You said you wanted me to save someone?” As he spoke, he stood up.
Liu Sisi was dumbfounded with her mouth wide open!
The man had agreed to treat Di Yelei, but she had backed down herself.
If he dwelled on the “fine tea” she had just brewed for him, what would happen?
The few others present mostly shared the same thoughts, all looking anxiously at Liu Sisi.
“What are you dawdling for? Do you still want to save someone or not?”
It seemed Young Master Wuxin knew the turmoil in Liu Sisi’s heart, intentionally shouted out loud, crossing his legs. Having good looks was an advantage; no matter what he did, each action was so pleasing to the eyes that one found it difficult to dislike him.
Liu Sisi’s heart was bitter, but at the moment, she had no better solution and had to lead him to the inner room.
Di Yelei’s condition had not improved, still alternating between hot and cold. When hot, his entire body turned red like a shrimp, and when cold, he shivered like a sieve.
As soon as Young Master Wuxin entered the inner room, the disdain on his face gradually faded, and he promptly took Di Yelei’s wrist.
“He’s been injured by a sharp blade, the wound is about an inch and a half wide, and three and a half inches long, affecting the left lung, and he has inhaled water besides. It’s a wonder he’s not dead already.”
A master is recognized as soon as he makes his move!
In just a few words, Young Master Wuxin summarized Di Yelei’s condition, reached out to unravel the gauze originally wrapped around Di Yelei’s chest, and took out a dazzling array of tools, then looked up at her.
“What are you still doing here? Get out! Don’t get in the way of me saving someone.”
Though Liu Sisi was reluctant to leave, she had no choice but to step out. She stood at the doorway, peering inside.
From her position, she could only see the back of Young Master Wuxin. She saw his hands moving swiftly, and even when healing, his movements were as graceful as if he were dancing.
It felt like a century had passed before Young Master Wuxin finally came out from the inside.
Liu Sisi hurriedly approached him, “Young Master Wuxin, how is my husband, the Marquis?”
