1272 There Should Be A Time And Place To Show Affection

“Ji Lingxiu,” Chu Jiu said as she gave a thoughtful glance at the woman. “How did she end up in such a state?”

“Both of Ji Qingyuan’s daughters give people nothing but trouble. But this girl was given aphrodisiac poison. We need to give her a cure as soon as possible,” Ling Lihua said, passing everything in her hands over to Chu Jiu. Ling Lihua helped Ji Lingxiu to walk as they hurriedly left the restaurant.

Chu Jiu followed beside her and said somewhat concernedly, “But that man said there isn’t a cure. The only way is to…”

Ling Lihua gave her a funny look. “You aren’t actually thinking of getting a man to help her resolve this, are you?”

Chu Jiu went red in the face. “That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if you have any way of helping her with this.”

“There is a way, but…” Ling Lihua’s expression was grim. She had checked Ji Lingxiu’s pulse and realized the aphrodisiac poison she took was not an easy one to cure. Sleeping with a man would be the ideal way to cure her.

“But what?” Chu Jiu pressed. She was a woman too and was highly sympathetic to what Ji Lingxiu was going through.

“But with the cure I have, she might end up being sterile and will never get pregnant for her entire life,” Ling Lihua said with a frown.

Chu Jiu was a little shocked. “Are you going to help her with the cure, Grand Duchess?” Thinking of the Ji family’s habit of causing trouble made her hesitant about helping Ji Lingxiu now. If the Grand Duchess helped Ji Lingxiu but the girl ended up becoming sterile, their good intentions might backfire with the Ji family blaming them for her predicament instead.

“We can’t just leave her be, can we? With her being like this, it would be dangerous to leave her out there.” Ling Lihua was troubled by this. “Let’s return to the army camp first.”

They mounted their horses and left the city in a hurry, bringing Ji Lingxiu with them back to camp.

Both of them had just arrived at the outer gates when they saw Lu Tingchen heading out on a horse. They all exchanged greetings.

“Why are you two back so early?” Lu Tingchen frowned. He had planned to meet them in the city and did not expect them to return so soon.

He felt a little disappointed about this. His gaze then fell on Chu Jiu and he noticed that her hair looked a little messy. Her clothes were also slightly disheveled; his frown became tighter. His voice was slightly lowered as he said, “You didn’t go out there just to end up in a fight, did you?”

Chu Jiu held onto the horse reins. Even though she was not looking at him, she could sense his firm gaze on her. It made her feel a little awkward and she gave a flustered nod. “I did.”

Lu Tingchen frowned. “You’re still brave enough to start a fight when your internal strength is sealed? You’re always making others worried, Chu Jiu.”

At this, Chu Jiu lifted her head to shoot a look at him. She retorted icily, “It’s none of your business!”

Lu Tingchen’s eyes narrowed. Before he could say anything, Ling Lihua, who had been watching from the side, could no longer keep silent. “There should be a time and place to show affection. You two should do all this another time. Can’t you see there is a poor thing here waiting for us to rescue her?”

Chu Jiu lowered her head with some embarrassment.

Lu Tingchen stared at her reddened ears and his gaze on her deepened. He decided to not comment on his mother’s inappropriate word choice.

He turned to look at Ling Lihua and finally noticed the girl in his mother’s arms. When he recognized it to be Ji Lingxiu, his expression remained unmoved and he did not react to her. He said coolly, “We have no medical skills. You can deal with her as you seem fit, Mother.”

Ling Lihua shook her head and sighed. “You’re so cold! Can’t you give me a hand and carry her into the tent?”

Lu Tingchen called over two soldiers. “Help the Grand Duchess carry this person into the tent.”

Ling Lihua raised an eyebrow. He did not act this way when Chu Jiu passed out last time.

It looked like Chu Jiu was the only one he gave special treatment to.

The soldier came forward immediately and took Ji Lingxiu from Ling Lihua’s arms.

Ling Lihua gave this some thought and said to Chu Jiu, “Jiu, come over and help me out.”

“Alright.” Chu Jiu immediately spurred her horse forward.

Lu Tingchen followed behind. When he noted the large number of purchases the women had, he asked, “Did you have fun in the city?”

“It was fine,” Chu Jiu replied nonchalantly.

“Did my mother buy all these for you?” Lu Tingchen reached out to fiddle with the stuff she was holding as he asked with some interest. He spotted some dresses and other similar items. His mother had good taste—anything she chose must be a good match for Chu Jiu.

“Yes.” Chu Jiu’s tone was still cold.

Lu Tingchen was a little unhappy with her distant attitude. “Did you buy any snacks for me?”

Chu Jiu finally turned back to look at him. “I have no idea what you even like to eat.”
