After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 38 My rest tonight was delayed.

By the time Xie Jinglan finished speaking, still feeling unsatisfied, it was already past midnight.

Jiang Yuyue couldn't understand why she had ended up on Xie Jinglan's bed when she had only come to deliver some tonic.

However, the chances of conceiving are greater with more attempts, Jiang Yuyue comforted herself, touching her flushed cheeks.

Judging that it was getting late, she got up, dressed, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat up, she was pulled back into that embrace that exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, Xie Jinglan's voice still husky with eroticism.

"Want to leave again?"

"It's getting late. I should go back."

By the dim candlelight, Jiang Yuyue made no attempt to conceal her admiration of his naked upper body. His broad shoulders and narrow waist, with their distinct lines, made her ears burn even though she had already fully enjoyed the pleasure this body brought her.

"Besides, if I stay here any longer, it might disturb your rest."

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan twirled her hair with his fingers. The pent-up frustration in his heart had dissipated, and he spoke casually,

"It's already past midnight, and you've already kept me from resting tonight. Is a little more time still too much?"

Jiang Yuyue: "..."

That makes sense.

But being held in his arms always gave me a strange feeling that I couldn't quite explain.

Jiang Yuyue withdrew her hand and lay a little further away from him, otherwise she would lose control again and wouldn't be able to sleep for the rest of the night.

Sensing that she was a little further away, Xie Jinglan remained silent, closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

Jiang Yuyue also closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy at all.

The thought that he was finally at ease while I was suffering terribly made me so depressed that I couldn't sleep.

……

A dreamless night.

The next day, when Jixiang came into the room to help Xie Jinglan wash up, he found that Jiang Yuyue was still there. He had a bad feeling and immediately lowered his eyes and hurriedly prepared to leave, but Jiang Yuyue directly gestured for him to come in.

"Come in and help your third young master wash up. I still have to go to the pharmacy, so I have to go now."

Jiang Yuyue knew that Jixiang was Xie Jinglan's confidant, and she had no intention of hiding this from Jixiang, nor could she hide it anyway, so she simply didn't bother to conceal it.

Moreover, she was in a hurry to leave, afraid that Xie Jinglan would grab her again.

Jixiang nodded repeatedly, unaware of what Jiang Yuyue was thinking. She kept sighing inwardly at how unconventional this young mistress was, truly a heroine among women!

Jiang Yuyue returned to her courtyard and bumped into Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu could tell from her rosy complexion that something had happened the night before.

"Miss, you should come back earlier next time."

Although Jiang Yuyue had already done something outrageous, Xiao Liu still considered her young mistress's reputation.

"If someone sees you coming out of the Third Young Master's courtyard, wouldn't that be..."

"There are only a few of us in this house, who could see us?"

Jiang Yuyue was quite indifferent, but she could understand Xiaoliu's feelings.

"Don't worry, these few days are just the auspicious days for me to conceive. Once this period is over, it won't be like this anymore."

Hearing her say that, Xiaoliu could only sigh, and at the same time silently prayed that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky would not blame her young lady for such behavior.

After two consecutive nights of testing, Jiang Yuyue finally confirmed that Xie Jinglan's sexual function was not only fine but also incredibly strong. As a result, she felt much more at ease. In order to increase the chances of getting pregnant, she decided to sleep with Xie Jinglan for the next few nights.

Another night of pleasure came to an end. Seeing Xie Jinglan, with his disabled body, working so hard every night, even Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but feel guilty.

After all, Xie Jinglan was a dying man being used like a tool by her. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she was being too ruthless.

Furthermore, after calculating the days, today is the last day of the most fertile period, so it seems that her affair with Xie Jinglan can be put on hold for now.

"I won't be coming tomorrow."

Nestled in Xie Jinglan's arms, Jiang Yuyue traced circles on his chest with her fingers. "You've really worked hard these past few days. Get some rest now, and don't ruin your health."

Hearing himself being questioned again, Xie Jinglan frowned.

"You still need to worry about my health? Or do you want me to... again?"

"is not what it means!"

Fearing he would try to prove himself again, Jiang Yuyue immediately interrupted him. After all, she now understood that a man's sexual prowess was not open to questioning, so she simply made up a lie and took the blame upon herself.

"I've been feeling a bit too tired these past two days. It's probably because my arrow wound hasn't fully healed yet. I'm really exhausted, so I'll take a break for a while."

Hearing her say that, Xie Jinglan didn't ask for anything more, but instead gently stroked the scar on her right shoulder.

"In that case, you should get some rest."

Jiang Yuyue finally managed to fool Xie Jinglan and breathed a sigh of relief.

With Xie Jinglan's matter temporarily resolved, Lian Mo's side had also completed the preparations for the pharmacy, and today was the opening day of Jiang Yuyue's pharmacy.

"Come and take a look! Thousand-year-old ginseng, snow lotus from Tianshan, and all kinds of precious medicinal herbs are available. Don't miss it when you pass by!"

Jiang Yuyue and Xiao Liu loudly promoted the opening of the pharmacy, while Lian Mo stood silently in the corner.

Jiang Yuyue glanced at him before noticing him. Seeing him idly standing there, she frowned. It wouldn't do for a helper to be so blatantly lazy.

"You have to join us in the shouting too."

Jiang Yuyue stepped forward and said, "Our shop has just opened. If we don't make some noise, who will know that we're in the medicinal herb business?"

Lian Mo looked troubled and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I can't bring myself to say it."

"what?"

Jiang Yuyue raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that you, a grown man, have a thinner skin than me and Xiao Liu, two women?"

Lian Mo did not answer, but his attitude clearly showed that he was determined not to shout. Jiang Yuyue could tell from his personality that he was not someone who could risk his reputation, so she simply came up with another idea.

Jiang Yuyue removed the mysterious black cloak from his head and pushed him to the shop entrance.

“If you don’t want to shout, then stand at the door. You’re working for me, so you can’t just do nothing.”

Although Lian Mo didn't want to do this public thing, he thought that just standing at the door was much better than shouting loudly, so he obediently accepted it.

Lian Mo had only been standing at the door for a short while when a number of young girls gathered around the entrance. After hesitating for a while, they blushed and walked into the shop.

"Excuse me... how much does the Tian Shan snow lotus cost here?"

"Forty taels per plant."

Lian Mo remained as taciturn as ever, while the girl clearly hadn't expected the medicinal herbs to be so expensive, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

"Then...can you help with the diagnosis?"

Hearing this, Lian Mo was slightly impatient, but Jiang Yuyue immediately gave him a look, so he had no choice but to change his answer.

"can."

Upon hearing this, the girl, who had been hesitant, immediately bought it without hesitation, saying, "Okay, I'll take one!"
