Chapter 140: Delivering the Crimson Sun Pill

"You... How did you know?!"

Chen Xiafang felt as if she’d been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

She never imagined that he would have discovered her sneaking over to find Yang Xun last night!

He even knew she’d been pleasuring herself at the door!

In an instant, Chen Xiafang’s pretty face burned a deep crimson, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

’So humiliating!’

’As a mother, peeping on my own daughter with a man, while pleasuring myself...’

If word of this ever got out, she’d never be able to show her face again for the rest of her life.

"Auntie, don’t be nervous."

Seeing Chen Xiafang on the verge of tears, Yang Xun quickly comforted her. "I just happened to glance at the doorway, and that’s how I saw someone was outside."

Chen Xiafang bit her lip, her eyes filled with panic. She urgently grabbed Yang Xun’s arm, her voice trembling. "Xiaoxun, Mi Ting... Does Mi Ting know about this? Did she see me?"

Yang Xun shook his head. "She doesn’t know. She didn’t see you."

"Phew!!"

Chen Xiafang let out a long sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and she collapsed weakly into Yang Xun’s arms.

But then she suddenly looked up, staring right at Yang Xun, her tone full of pleading. "Xiaoxun, you have to help Auntie keep this a secret! Mi Ting must absolutely not find out! I’m begging you!"

"Auntie, don’t worry."

Yang Xun patted the back of Chen Xiafang’s hand, his voice firm. "I will never let Mi Ting know about this. You can rest completely assured."

He meant it.

Putting aside Chen Xiafang’s feelings, if Mi Ting ever found out that he had slept with her own mother...

Just thinking about that scenario made Yang Xun’s scalp tingle.

’How awkward would that be?’

’Mi Ting would probably have a breakdown on the spot.’

Therefore, this secret had to be taken to the grave. No one could ever be told.

The two of them shared another tender moment in bed. Chen Xiafang snuggled in Yang Xun’s arms, savoring the rare, warm moment. Although a trace of guilt remained in her heart, it was overshadowed by a long-lost sense of satisfaction.

After so many years as a widow, she finally felt what it was like to be cherished by a man again.

...

A moment later, they straightened their clothes and returned to the dining room.

Chen Xiafang cleaned up the broken bowl shards from the floor and ladled a fresh bowl of chicken soup for Yang Xun.

This time, she was extremely careful, afraid of another mishap.

Yang Xun picked up the bowl and took a large gulp, a look of bliss on his face. "Delicious! Auntie’s cooking is as good as ever!"

Chen Xiafang’s eyes curved into smiling crescents. She sat across from him, watching him gulp down the soup, a warmth spreading through her heart.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!

Just then, Yang Xun’s phone suddenly started vibrating.

He picked it up and saw the caller ID: Xu Qian.

Yang Xun answered the call. "Hello?"

"Yang Xun, three o’clock this afternoon, you and I are going to the sister-in-law’s bathhouse."

Xu Qian’s voice came from the other end of the line, crisp and efficient, without a single wasted word.

Yang Xun was slightly taken aback. "So soon? You’ve already settled things with the sister-in-law?"

"It’s settled," Xu Qian said. "But there’s one thing you have to remember. You must wear a mask. You absolutely cannot let the sister-in-law recognize you, just like how you hid your identity from me before. Understand?"

"Understood." Yang Xun nodded. He was, of course, clear on this point.

Meng Qiaofei was Xu Yue’s sister-in-law. If she found out the male escort at the bathhouse was Yang Xun, it would all be over.

"Alright. See you at the bathhouse entrance at three."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Yang Xun put his phone back on the table and continued drinking his soup.

Chen Xiafang asked curiously, "Who was that?"

"A friend. We’re supposed to take care of something this afternoon."

Yang Xun answered vaguely, not going into detail.

Seeing that he didn’t want to elaborate, Chen Xiafang didn’t press him and continued to put food on his plate.

After the meal, Yang Xun had Chen Xiafang lie down on the bed and began the second acupuncture session.

The procedure was the same as yesterday. Twenty-three Silver Needles were inserted one by one, and True Qi flowed through them into her body, flushing out the blocked meridians.

This time, however, Yang Xun remained focused the entire time, and nothing inappropriate happened.

About half an hour later, the acupuncture was finished.

Yang Xun took Chen Xiafang’s pulse again and confirmed that her liver cirrhosis had improved significantly. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Auntie, we’re almost done with the acupuncture part. The next step is the medicinal baths. Let me take you to Xinglin Hall to get the herbs. Then I’ll tell you how to prepare the bath, and you can do it yourself!"

"Okay!"

Chen Xiafang changed her clothes and followed Yang Xun out the door.

...

「Xinglin Hall.」

Yang Xun brought Chen Xiafang to the pharmacy and, following the medicinal bath formula recorded in the Rejuvenation Medical Scripture, gathered all the necessary herbs, one by one.

After getting the herbs, Yang Xun wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he led Chen Xiafang to Murong Wei’s office on the second floor.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Yang Xun knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in."

Soon, Murong Wei’s voice came from inside.

Pushing the door open, he saw Murong Wei sitting behind her desk, reading a medical text. When she saw Yang Xun, a gentle smile immediately graced her face.

"Xiaoxun, you’re here."

"Teacher."

Yang Xun walked to the desk, took a small white porcelain vial from his pocket, and placed it on the table. He smiled. "The Crimson Sun Pill. It’s ready."

"What?!"

Murong Wei looked at the small porcelain vial on the desk, her face filled with excitement. "Xiaoxun... You finished it so quickly!"

Yang Xun smiled and pushed the vial toward Murong Wei. "There are three pills in total. The quality is quite good."

With trembling hands, Murong Wei picked up the vial. She carefully unscrewed the cap and looked inside. Three pills, emitting a faint red glow, lay quietly within, and a delicate medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"This is wonderful! Wonderful!!"

Murong Wei was so moved her eyes turned red. She clutched the vial tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.

She looked up, her beautiful, tear-filled eyes staring right at Yang Xun, and asked urgently, "Xiaoxun, if I take this, will I be able to be intimate with my husband normally? Can I have a child?"

Yang Xun nodded firmly, his voice certain. "Yes. Half an hour after taking it, the cold energy in your body will be suppressed. You’ll be able to be intimate with your husband normally. Having a child will be no problem at all."

"That’s wonderful! That’s really, really wonderful!!"

Murong Wei couldn’t hold it in any longer. Tears streamed from her eyes as she pressed the vial tightly to her chest, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.

After all these years, she could finally be a normal woman.

Finally, she could be intimate with her husband.

Finally, she could get pregnant and have a child.

"Xiaoxun, thank you... Thank you so, so much!!"

Murong Wei said through her sobs.

Yang Xun smiled and was about to say something when the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A man rushed in with a frantic look on his face, yelling, "Honey, come downstairs quickly! Grandpa Zhou is dying!"
