How to Deal with Having the Villainous Tyrant’s Child Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Yuwen Min thought that Doctor Lin was a good person in every way, except that he was too serious.

This might have something to do with his profession—doctors must avoid deception at all costs.

The two of them walked side by side toward the prince residence. The steward was already carrying dishes toward the front hall and greeted them with a smile and a bow.

Prince Chu came out to greet them, and at this point, his belly was truly noticeable. Even though his robe was wide, the bulge was still visible.

Lu Xuzhi supported him and said, “Be careful of the threshold…”

Doctor Lin stepped forward, took his pulse, and frowned, saying, “How much spicy food did you eat? The heat is rising straight to your face!”

Then he looked at Lu Xuzhi and said, “You didn’t stop him?”

Lu Hanzhi was sharing an apple with Ah Chan, each taking a bite, when he heard Doctor Lin and, with a surprised look, said, “Doctor Lin really is as skilled as they say—he can tell that my second sister-in-law ate spicy food just from the pulse?”

Doctor Lin turned to Lu Hanzhi and said, “Whenever he eats spicy food, it causes heat to rise. You can see that his lips are starting to blister.”

Lu Hanzhi leaned in to take a closer look, but Prince Chu quickly covered his mouth and muttered, “Oh, I just couldn’t help myself… I ate a little more than I should have.”

Lu Hanzhi stifled a laugh. His second sister-in-law was just too cute.

Next, Doctor Lin took out a bamboo tube from his medicine box, opened it, and handed it to Yuwen Jue, saying, “Drink this!”

Yuwen Jue’s face instantly turned pale, tinged with a slight green, and he reluctantly said, “Uh… this… can I not drink it?”

Lu Hanzhi, curious, asked, “What’s this?”

Doctor Lin answered, “Bitter melon juice, it treats the heat caused by spicy food.”

Lu Hanzhi looked at Yuwen Jue sympathetically and said, “Well… second sister-in-law, good luck with this one.”

In the end, Yuwen Jue couldn’t escape.

After drinking the bitter melon juice, Yuwen Jue’s face scrunched up like a bitter melon. Doctor Lin knew he loved spicy food, so he probably brought the bitter melon juice as a kind of punishment.

The small table was filled with dishes, and a jar of aged bamboo-leaf wine was also placed on the table.

Lu Hanzhi waved everyone over, and the steward poured wine for everyone before quietly leaving the parlor.

Yuwen Jue, sipping on a cup of honey water, asked, “So, have you figured out who was behind the attack on you?”

Yuwen Min replied, “It wouldn’t be the Crown Prince. He doesn’t have the time or the reason.”

Lu Hanzhi also understood. The Crown Prince had sacrificed the Empress, and only now had his position as Crown Prince truly been secured.

But who could say for sure?

In any case, he would no longer see the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince as real competitors.

The Fourth Prince had little presence, and the Eldest Prince was about to have a child.

Yuwen Mingji and Yuwen Jing were very close, and everyone knew where the real focus should be.

Yuwen Min continued, “The only person who would be keeping an eye on us is Yuwen Mingji.”

Lu Hanzhi nodded. Only Yuwen Mingji knew that Yuwen Min could escape his traps, so he couldn’t be underestimated.

Lu Hanzhi raised his glass and clinked it with Doctor Lin’s.

Doctor Lin drank it down in one go, and Lu Hanzhi couldn’t help but be a little surprised, saying, “Mr. Lin, you’re quite a drinker!”

He said this and also drank it down in one go.

Yuwen Min frowned, feeling as if he was being singled out.

Lu Xuzhi also finished his drink, leaving only Yuwen Jue and Yuwen Min without their glasses touched.

However, Lu Hanzhi didn’t tease Yuwen Min today. After riding fast the whole way, he was still avoiding the matter of having slept with Yuwen Min.

Yuwen Min asked, “Any movement from Fuping Youtan?”

Yuwen Jue replied, “Lu Fu took down the leader of the flower street. Now she’s becoming quite popular in the capital.”

Lu Xuzhi added, “Tomorrow’s the martial arts exam. She threatened that whoever wins the top martial arts title can drink with her.”

Lu Hanzhi smiled and said, “Does she not know that everyone in the capital is talking about it? My second brother is the reigning champion of the martial arts competition. What’s she trying to say?”

Yuwen Jue shook his head. “On one hand, he’s sending people to assassinate Ah Min, and on the other, she’s pulling in Prince Chu’s horse. What’s his real plan?”

Lu Hanzhi thought for a moment and said, “He’s trying to manipulate both sides, maybe to get you two brothers to turn against each other.”

Just as Lu Hanzhi finished speaking, Yuwen Jue responded, “Impossible.”

Yuwen Min said, “Possible.”

Yuwen Jue looked up at Yuwen Min. “Hmm?”

Yu Wen Min said, “Only we brothers know it’s impossible, but how does it look from the outside? I think… Yuwen Mingji must have heard something.”

But what could he have heard that might cause a rift between the two brothers?

Well, they wouldn’t know for sure until the time came.

Lu Xuzhi said, “In that case, let me meet this Lu Fu!”

Lu Hanzhi was eating grapes and said, “Second brother, you can control yourself, right? I heard this Lu Fu girl is fair-skinned, beautiful, with a large chest, slim waist, and soft legs. Everyone wants to…”

Lu Xuzhi: …

Yuwen Jue cleared his throat and said, “Your second brother is not that kind of person.”

Lu Hanzhi said, “You’d better be cautious, second sister-in-law!”

Lu Xuzhi knocked his younger brother on the head with his chopsticks and said, “You little rascal, what are you thinking? No one can compare to your second sister-in-law. He’s the only one in my heart.”

This sentence made Yuwen Jue’s face blush slightly. He glanced at Lu Xuzhi, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

After the meal, Lu Hanzhi had drunk quite a bit of wine.

Yuwen Min helped him back to his room, but Lu Hanzhi waved his hand and said, “I’m not drunk, I can walk on my own.”

Yuwen Min frowned and said, “Don’t want me to touch you?”

Lu Hanzhi cleared his throat and said, “It’s not really that. I don’t dislike you.”

Yuwen Min asked, “Is that just… not disliking me?”

Lu Hanzhi smiled and said, “I don’t mind what happened between us. It felt good, your technique was pretty decent. Is that okay?”

Yuwen Min: …

One was talking about emotional exploration, while the other was talking about technical aspects. It seemed like they weren’t even discussing the same thing.

Yuwen Min said, “Rest well. We’ll go to the palace tomorrow or the day after to visit Mother Concubine.”

To prevent collusion between the harem and the powerful families, even the princes could only visit their mothers three times a month.

Yuwen Min made good use of these three opportunities each month, visiting Imperial Concubine Rong regularly.

Lu Hanzhi had drunk, and the alcohol was starting to take effect. He felt a little light-headed.

At this moment, without Yuwen Min supporting him, he couldn’t even stand.

Tilting his head, he lost his balance and fell right into Yuwen Min’s arms.

Yuwen Min caught him, holding him tight. The lingering fragrance from last night hit him, making his heart race.

Lu Hanzhi was already beginning to get drowsy, his cheeks flushed, making him look innocent and cute.

Yuwen Min picked him up helplessly and took him back to his room.

The scent still lingered on him, and it was a bit overwhelming.

But Yuwen Min held back. He took a deep breath and covered Lu Hanzhi with the blanket.

Looking at Lu Hanzhi’s beautiful features, he said, “I wouldn’t take advantage of you. If I ever did, it would only be when you’re awake.”

After all, it wasn’t fun if the person was asleep; it was much more enjoyable when you’re awake.

Yuwen Min turned and left the room, washed up, and went to bed.

The next day, Lu Hanzhi woke up early.

As a regular drinker, his head was aching after sleeping off the alcohol. He realized he really needed to drink less.

He’d always found alcohol curious. When he didn’t drink, he craved it terribly. The first sip was amazing, and the process of drinking was so enjoyable. But afterward, when he woke up, he couldn’t stand it, and he’d often swear off drinking.

But after some time, he’d always crave it again.

Sitting up, rubbing his temples, Lu Hanzhi groggily started brushing his teeth.

Ah Chan was sitting in the outer hall eating, and Luan Feng was holding a bowl of egg custard, feeding it to Ah Chan bit by bit.

Xiao Liuzi stood beside them, watching Ah Chan eat.

Lu Hanzhi brushed his teeth while walking barefoot across the carpet, muttering, “Did you guys get here so quickly? Where’s Shu’er?”

Luan Feng answered, “Young Master, we just arrived too. Young Lady Ling Shu is picking flowers in the yard. Her room has been arranged right opposite yours, and the prince named it ‘Suxin Zhai.’”

“Suxin Zhai,” Lu Hanzhi repeated. “It sounds nice.”

After putting down his toothbrush, Lu Hanzhi went outside to take a look.

There, he saw Ah Shu, clean and changed into a red-and-white silk dress. She was slim, with fair skin, black hair cascading like a waterfall, and a graceful figure.

If it weren’t for the countless scars on her body and the disfigured pockmarks on her face…

From behind, Ah Shu really did look beautiful.

Ah Shu was only eighteen this year. Lu Hanzhi wondered what she had been through over the years.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with sympathy.

Lu Hanzhi forced a smile and walked up to Ah Shu, saying, “Ah Shu, what are you doing? Do you like plum blossoms? Hmm… your clothes look like plum blossoms too.”

He had given Ah Shu the full name “Lu Lingshu.” He couldn’t use Su Wan’ning’s name anymore.

Although Ah Shu’s identity was still unclear, he had a feeling this girl before him was his real cousin, the true Su Wan’ning.

To Lu Hanzhi, the name Su Wan’ning had been tarnished beyond recognition.

From now on, Ah Shu’s full name would be Lu Lingshu, and she would be his nominal sister.

He would bring his mother, Madam Lu, to meet her soon and adopt her as a goddaughter.

Ah Shu raised her face, which was lined with scars, and gave him a silly smile before lifting a bright red plum blossom and tucking it behind his ear.

Lu Hanzhi asked, “Does your older brother look good?”

Ah Shu didn’t answer but just smiled foolishly again.

At that moment, the voice of Doctor Lin came from behind, “Is this the girl you mentioned?”

Lu Hanzhi turned around to see Doctor Lin, dressed in white, standing under the plum tree with a medicine box in hand.

Seeing him arrive, Lu Hanzhi immediately said, “Doctor Lin, you’re here? Please, this way. Let’s go to ‘Suxin Zhai’ across the yard.”

Luan Feng approached and said, “Young Master, I’ll take the doctor there. The little prince is looking for you.”

Lu Hanzhi nodded and asked, “Where is Yuwen Min?”

Luan Feng replied, “The prince went to Prince Chu’s residence. He’ll be back shortly.”

Lu Hanzhi nodded and saw Doctor Lin following Luan Feng to the opposite yard.

Just before leaving, as if remembering something, he turned to Lu Hanzhi and said, “By the way, the contraceptive pill I gave you yesterday will be effective for three days. No need to worry for these three days.”

Lu Hanzhi: “Huh?”

The courtyard door creaked open, and Yuwen Min entered, dressed in his royal attire. He said to Doctor Lin, “I understand.”

Lu Hanzhi: … Wait, what do you understand?
