The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 179: It’s Time to Take a Concubine for Ah Zhen

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: It’s Time to Take a Concubine for Ah Zhen

Mingzhu Ji found out her health was deteriorating and felt embarrassed, so she wanted to send Yun Zhen to sleep in the study that night.

Yun Zhen didn’t expect that would hurt Mingzhu’s health.

He thought, even if anyone should feel weak... it should be him.

He coaxed Mingzhu into taking her medicine, "It’s good we found out early, so we can treat it in time and avoid suffering later."

Mingzhu covered her face with the blanket.

"How am I supposed to face anyone?"

Yun Zhen immediately reassured her, "I’ll make sure everyone keeps their mouths shut. It won’t get out."

Mingzhu twisted around a bit under the blanket.

Cursing him continuously.

Initially, Yun Zhen listened with patience; after all, it was due to his lack of restraint that Mingzhu ended up suffering.

Then he remembered an important matter.

He set the medicine bowl down by the bed and then pulled her out from under the blanket.

He asked seriously, "Did you not take your medicine?"

Mingzhu used to think that medicine was for birth control.

She would take a pill after each time they were together.

Later, she found out Yun Zhen had switched her pills, so she didn’t continue taking them diligently.

That was also medicine to nourish her body.

According to the doctor, it was very good for a woman’s health.

If she took the medicine seriously, even if it couldn’t cure all ailments, she wouldn’t have had her health decline.

Yun Zhen was furious.

"Birth control medicine is harmful, yet you took it regularly. Knowing it’s good medicine for your health, you weren’t proactive. Mingzhu Ji, who are you trying to frustrate?"

Mingzhu glared at him, "Who’s the one that caused my health to decline?"

Her words successfully made Yun Zhen lose his composure.

"Then make sure you take it from now on, I’ll be checking the pills. If you forget one day, I’ll have Goldie whipped thirty times."

Goldie: "..."

She had no idea what medicine they were taking.

Why suddenly does she have to bear the risk?

Mingzhu stretched her foot from under the blanket and kicked him, "Stop scaring people! Look at Goldie, she’s gone pale!"

Goldie nearly cried, "Madam, I don’t want to be whipped."

Yun Zhen said, "Then keep a close eye on your madam, make sure she takes her medicine properly."

Goldie hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl and presented it to Mingzhu.

Without saying a word, she watched Mingzhu expectantly, looking utterly innocent.

Mingzhu knew they meant well, and she didn’t want her health to suffer.

Since the problem was diagnosed, she should cooperate with the treatment.

Mingzhu took the medicine bowl and downed it in one go.

She handed the bowl back to Goldie, "Don’t worry, you won’t be the one getting whipped."

Goldie had barely started to feel happy when Yun Zhen said, "Don’t slack off, or else the punishment will be doubled."

Goldie: "..."

With Yun Zhen glaring at her, he leisurely said, "I’ll check the medicine bottles every half month. If all is in order, you’ll be rewarded with two taels of Silver."

Goldie was thrilled.

That’s nearly her monthly allowance!

She quickly curtsied, "Thank you, Young Master!"

Yun Zhen waved his hand, signaling for her to leave.

He walked over to the table, took a sweet fruit, and placed it by Mingzhu’s mouth, "To cut the bitterness."

Mingzhu did not eat it, "Good medicine is bitter to the mouth."

The man nodded, "Good girl."

Then he put the sweet fruit in his own mouth, leaned in, and kissed Mingzhu’s lips.

"Then I’ll use my sweet mouth."

Mingzhu was amused by him, "Where did you learn this trick?"

Yun Zhen raised an eyebrow, full of pride in his eyes.

"I figured it out on my own!"

After experiencing so much, if he couldn’t figure out how to make Mingzhu happy, he would be beyond help.

After drinking the medicine and causing a bit of a fuss, Mingzhu clearly forgot about Yun Zhen sleeping in the study.

By the time she realized it, he was already in bed.

Holding her in his arms.

"Tomorrow you sleep in the study."

Yun Zhen nodded, "Okay."

He agreed so readily, which could only mean two possibilities.

The first is he brings Mingzhu with him to sleep in the study.

The second is he won’t be returning home for a while.

Mingzhu didn’t dwell on the topic.

Instead, she asked about the actual matter, "Is there any progress on that issue?"

Yun Zhen gently patted her back, "Don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll propose to the Crown Prince to throw out some bait to draw them out."

The other side had been setting things up for years; they’re probably running out of patience.

Yet they’re wary of seeing it all fall apart, so they haven’t acted yet.

If given an opportunity to exploit, they might yield other results.

Mingzhu wasn’t clear about the intricacies involved.

But she understood one thing, the promise of gain moves hearts.

The Xu family and Xiao family aren’t ordinary, how enticing must the bait be to tempt them?

She reached out to hug the man’s strong waist, "Will it be dangerous?"

Yun Zhen knew Mingzhu was worried about him, his heart overflowed with happiness.

He kissed her on the crown of her head repeatedly.

"It will be a bit dangerous, but I’ll protect myself for you."

They barely had a chance to restart, and he hadn’t enjoyed enough good times yet, so he’d definitely be cautious.

He kissed Mingzhu’s forehead firmly.

Teasingly, "Take good care of yourself at home, otherwise once this is all over, you’ll take me to see your parents, and they might think I’ve neglected you."

Their marriage wasn’t too long or too short, but Mingzhu hadn’t taken Yun Zhen to pay respects to her parents.

He had mentioned before, once the matters were settled, she should take him to pay respects to her parents.

Back then, Mingzhu didn’t agree.

This time she nodded, "I’ll wait for your news."

Yun Zhen began to push further, "How about we go tomorrow morning..."

He was already prepared for being scolded, kicked, or rejected, but the person in his arms nodded.

"Alright, I haven’t visited them for a while."

The canopy fell silent instantly.

Only their breaths were audible.

Mingzhu puzzled, propped herself up, about to speak when the man suddenly sat up.

Yun Zhen’s face turned serious, he held Mingzhu’s shoulders and pressed her back between the bedding.

Covered her with the silk blanket.

"I’ll go prepare the meeting gift."

Mingzhu felt helpless, "It’s getting late, where will you get it?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I have my ways."

Yun Zhen was affectionate towards Mingzhu, but this time he didn’t delay for a moment.

He swiftly got up, dressed.

Told the maid keeping night watch to attentively listen to any sounds in the house.

Then left the east courtyard.

Understanding his feelings about meeting her parents for the first time, Mingzhu let him be.

They invited the Imperial Physician to the east courtyard.

The old madam and the Commandery Princess couldn’t help but inquire.

Upon hearing the patient was Mingzhu, the mother-in-law duo started their discontent again.

Due to previous incidents, Princess An He refrained from saying much, afraid her son might truly split the family.

She just contemplated finding a good health regimen for Mingzhu.

If she remains frail, how could she bear and raise a child?

Yun Zhen isn’t young anymore, most of his peers already have children.

Princess An He now only hopes his residual poison gets completely cleansed.

For Mingzhu Ji to hurry up and conceive.

Boy or girl, as long as it’s Ah Zhen’s bloodline!

Meanwhile, the old madam thinks it might be time for her grandson to take a concubine.

If Mingzhu Ji can’t take good care of Ah Zhen, then find a considerate and understanding beauty to let Ah Zhen enjoy some comfortable days!
