Chapter 56: Are You In Love With Your Wife?

After being let go, Tang Li quickly took a large step back. She patted her chest and grumbled, “If you want me to speak, you don’t have to grab me like that. Just tell me! Are you afraid that I’ll run away?”

She thought to herself, “I’m still single, and you’re so handsome. Aren’t you afraid that I might do something to you?”

Qi Yihan pursed his lips tightly and looked at her without saying anything.

Tang Li suppressed her racing heart and continued, “I’m not playing any tricks with you. If I am, I won’t be here saving your father. Instead, I’ll sit back and watch him die and run away with my share of the inheritance.”

Seeing that he was still silent, she thought of something and patted his chest, saying seriously, “Don’t worry, I like being your wife. I feel like the title gets me a lot of respect from others.”

Qi Yihan continued to stare at Tang Li without saying anything. His dark eyes seemed to be able to see through her heart.

Tang Li looked back at him, not feeling guilty at all because what she said was true and sincere.

“Master, Madam.”

Tang Li tilted her head to look at Butler Zhang, who was standing there nervously, and Mr. Situ, who was standing beside Butler Zhang.

Mr. Situ looked a little embarrassed. His expression looked like he had just seen something unspeakable.

Tang Li immediately put on a serious expression and acted as an expert, “What is it about?”

Butler Zhang was filled with regret for bringing Mr. Situ here to meet Tang Li. He didn’t know that his master was here and was… on a date with Madam.

Butler Zhang was immersed in regret and did not speak. Mr. Situ put away his awkwardness and said, “Fourth Madam, you asked me to look for some herbs previously. I wonder if you’ve written the list of herbs?”

As a matter of fact, Tang Li forgot about it but she didn’t tell Mr. Situ honestly. Instead, she said, “Don’t worry. I need to think about it.”

Then, she changed the topic. “Since you’re here to ask, I’ll start with a few herbs. You can get someone to look for them.”

When the time came, she would need to have a lot of herbs on her island. Since there was free labor right now, she didn’t wanna waste it.

Tang Li suddenly glanced at the other free laborer, Qi Yihan.

Tang Li did not feel guilty at all for using him. She then withdrew her gaze and looked at Mr. Situ.

Mr. Situ didn’t know that he was fooled and was very happy. “Sure.”

Then, he suggested, “Fourth Madam, why don’t you go and check my son’s pulse? This should make it easier for you to give him the medicine he needs.”

If Tang Li refused to go, she was afraid that he might think she didn’t take his son’s life seriously.

Tang Li thought for a moment and agreed.

She and Qi Yihan followed Mr. Situ towards Situ Jin’s villa.

Although Situ Jin was saved, his health was greatly compromised and he couldn’t even get out of bed.

He was bedridden with his eyes half-closed, giving off a feeling that he might die at any second.

“Jin, I invited Fourth Madam over.”

After Mr. Situ spoke, Situ Jin looked up.

When he saw Tang Li, a glint flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He then looked at Qi Yihan and nodded at him as a greeting.

Qi Yihan nodded in response.

Then he looked at Tang Li again.

Tang Li said, “I came over today to prescribe the herbs you need in the future. Take good care of yourself for the time being.”

“Since Fourth Madam is prescribing me herbs now, why don’t you treat me now?”

Actually, Mr. Situ also wanted to ask this question.

Qi Yihan understood what Tang Li meant.

As expected, Tang Li said, “You won’t be able to find all the herbs I need in a while.”

“How is that possible? As long as Fourth Madam can name the herbs, I will immediately get someone to find them.” Mr. Situ said confidently and asked, “If I find the herbs today, will Fourth Madam treat my son today?”

Tang Li did not bother to explain and only said, “Go get the pen and paper. I’ll write down the herbs right now. The moment you find them, I can begin the treatment.”

“Deal.” Mr. Situ and his son looked very confident.

Qi Yihan shook his head and didn’t say anything.

He knew how difficult it was to find the herbs.

It took Tang Li eight pieces of paper to finish writing all the herbs needed to treat Situ Jin.

There were hundreds of herbs written on the paper.

After she finished writing, Tang Li said, “The hospital has the herbs on the first five pages. You can get them now to help Situ Jin recover. I’ll treat him when you guys get the ones on the last three pages. Remember, I want the herbs on the last three pages to be fresh.”

Situ Huang quickly took the list and looked at it.

The prescription written by Tang Li was quite legible, unlike the ones written by doctors.

After reading the list, Situ Huang said to Tang Li, “I’ll immediately get someone to find the herbs. Fourth Madam, my son’s life is in your hands.”

“Find the herbs first.” Tang Li glanced at Situ Jin and said to Qi Yihan, “Hubby, it’s time to go.”

Qi Yihan found that Tang Li liked to call him Hubby in front of outsiders every time as if she was deliberately letting everyone know that they were husband and wife.

After saying that, Tang Li walked toward the door.

“Yihan, wait.” Situ Jin suddenly stopped Qi Yihan, who was about to leave with him.

Qi Yihan stopped.

Situ Jin said, “I want to talk to you in private. Ahem…”

After saying that, he suddenly started coughing.

Situ Huang wanted to pat him on the back but was stopped by Situ Jin.

Tang Li glanced at the two men and walked out first.

Situ Huang waited until Situ Jin was almost done coughing before leaving.

After the door was closed, Situ Jin looked at Qi Yihan and asked, “Does your wife know medicine?”

These words were obviously filled with doubts and warnings.

Qi Yihan knew what he meant and replied calmly, “Her father does.”

Situ Jin coughed again and said with a frown, “I know my illness. It can’t be cured.”

“Nothing is absolute in this world.”

Situ Jin looked at Qi Yihan in surprise.

In the past, Qi Yihan didn’t even want to talk about Tang Li, but this time, he trusted her so much. Situ Jin asked, “Is she treating your father now and it’s already working?”

He knew about the old man’s illness. With current medical technology, it was impossible to cure him.

So, was Tang Li really that capable?

Qi Yihan looked at Situ Jin, who was suspicious of Tang Li, and felt a little displeased. Though he doubted Tang Li all the time, he couldn’t stand hearing others doubt her.

“Her father knows medicine, so it’s normal for her to have learned it before. Besides… if you don’t believe her, you don’t have to seek treatment from her.”

Situ Jin looked at Qi Yihan’s serious face for a few seconds and laughed out loud. Then he started coughing again. After the coughing stopped, he asked, “Are you in love with your wife.”

Qi Yihan gave him a piercing stare and said rudely, “Instead of caring about my matters, you should think about yourself.”

Situ Jin stopped making fun of him. He lowered his eyes and sighed, placing one hand behind his head. “If I can survive this time, I’ll investigate everything that happened in the past. No matter who it is, I will make them pay back the debt.”

After saying that, he stared at the ceiling and zoned out.

Qi Yihan looked at him for a while before turning to leave..
