Chapter 241 – Medicinal Bath
"Sorry about this, Traveling Doctor Liu." Old Master Nan felt utterly helpless when he saw the brats who were being noisy on the backyard. He thought that they would quieten down without Feng Ao Si. But because Feng Ao Kuai began to dote on Nan Hua... the brat kept on competing with Nan Luo.
It turned into a mess.
Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. "It's fine. It's nice to see the children so lively."
"Mhm."
Nan Hua managed to eat the two bowls of noodle and felt really full. She really needed to warn the kitchen next time so that they would not take order from Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai separately. She didn't want to eat two feasts at once in the future.
After she was done eating, Traveling Doctor Liu came to her quarter.
"I'll be brief." Traveling Doctor Liu knew the rules. Males were not allowed to enter the female quarter except their husbands. Even family members didn't usually enter except during some special times.
After all, female valued their reputation greatly.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Master is a doctor, so it's fine."
"That's true." Traveling Doctor Liu laughed when he heard Nan Hua's words. Doctors were not really restricted since there were cases when females were sick. The number of female doctors were exceptionally few because of female's low position in this land.
"Miss."
"Xiao Yun, I'll be staying in the bathroom for medicinal bath. Make sure no one come close and don't disturb me."
"Yes, Miss."
Traveling Doctor Liu took out the pouch he had prepared when he entered the bathroom while Nan Hua prepared the water. He arranged the herbs properly on the table while motioning for Nan Hua to bring the tub over.
"Do you still feel pain?" Traveling Doctor Liu asked when he saw Nan Hua's complexion turned better.
Nan Hua nodded. "A bit."
"Wait a bit more before washing up. I'm outside if you need anything."
"Yes, Master."
After the pain had completely disappeared, Nan Hua took a bath and cleaned up. As she looked at her appearance on the water, Nan Hua was taken aback. Her skin was already fair from the beginning, but after that session, she could see that it had turned even better. Her countenance exuded some kind of aura that made one felt she was pleasing to look at.
'...How am I stay low if I have this kind of appearance?'
Nan Hua began to feel that the description of original Nan Hua worked against her. While it was not completely obvious yet, she knew that Nan Hua was still a peerless beauty and many people mocked Long Qian Xing when he chose to abandon her because of her beauty in the story.
In the entire Fei Yang Kingdom, even those acclaimed as the most beautiful women couldn't be compared to her.
And it was precisely because of her beauty that many people coveted her. After the engagement was broken, a lot of people came to Nan Family Residence to court her. Unfortunately, the original Nan Hua only had eyes on Long Qian Xing and tried to pester him.
It eventually led her to her death.
"Miss?" Xiao Yun called out.
"I'll sleep now," Nan Hua came out and said softly.
Upon seeing Nan Hua, Xiao Yun blinked her eyes a few times. She always thought that Nan Hua was beautiful but upon seeing her appearance just now, she felt that Nan Hua had turned into a peerless beauty that couldn't be compared to anyone.
Nan Hua entered her room and looked at her table where she put Long Qian Xing's present to her. Looking at the content inside carefully, she noticed that he had engraved some words at the hairpin.
Nan Hua.
It was her name.
Nan Hua's eyes flickered slightly.. She put it away and turned to her bed.
