What... What did you just say?!

In the past, Su Wuyan had delved into many subjects like eastern and western medicine, chemistry and physics as well as economics, cooking, business and agriculture so she was very knowledgeable in various fields. Apart from her so-called normal life, Su Wuyan had also had a photographic memory. This meant she could remember every textbook read and every video watched.

Naturally, remembering a surgery was no easy feat, but for Su Wuyan, who was previously known as the human encyclopaedia in her past life, it was nothing compared to the hundreds of textbooks she had to go through just so she could satisfy her curiosity. And by no means was Su Wuyan a certified doctor. Thankfully, surgery wasn't the only method to treat appendicitis, otherwise even Su Wuyan would be rendered helpless. After much deliberations, she decided against surgery, instead, she voted for the more traditional and less invasive method; acupuncture.

Back at the restaurant, when Zhao Yunxu heard her words, his expression quickly changed.

"So what should I do? Can you cure it?" Zhao Yunxu asked grimly.

"I can. But I have one condition." As Su Wuyan said this, her eyes narrowed into slits while she presented a calm smile.

Zhao Yunxu didn't hesitate and immediately afterwards.

"No matter, I will do it!"

Su Wuyan blinked for a moment, a weird look present on her face.

"Mr Zhao, you don't even know what my condition is yet, how can you accept it so quickly?"

"No matter what it is, as long as you can cure it, I will owe you my life." Zhao Yunxu said, his eyes showing a resolution that was never there before.

"Very well." Su Wuyan's mouth twitched slightly before finally nodding.

However, once the men heard her request, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wuyan... Can you repeat what you just said?" Lin Wuyi's face paled, his mouth twitching while Zhao Yunxu's face became a bright red colour.

"Yeah, Mr Zhao. You must become one of my men. That is my only requirement." she said with a smile. However, as soon as she saw the men's expressions, her smile froze. Slowly, she lifted an eyebrow as if to inquire what was wrong.

Did she say anything wrong..?!

She wondered this when she saw the pair's drastic change in expression. Seeing Zhao Yunxu's face become red like a tomato and Lin Wuyi's pale-stricken face, she finally had an idea of what they were thinking.

Immediately she tried to rephrase her words, clarifying what she meant.

"I just meant..." unfortunately, when she was just about to explain, she was interrupted by Zhao Yunxu.

"O-Ok...I will work hard to serve you... even in the b-bedroom." He said as if he was a girl who was being miserably bullied.

Seeing how quickly he agreed to give himself away, both Su Wuyan and Lin Wuyi were utterly speechless.

Su Wuyan gulped as she looked at Lin Wuyi's equally shocked face, she realised she had been awfully misunderstood. Unfortunately, no matter what she said or did now to resolve it, they would probably not believe her.

"Alright... in that case, I will treat you."

-------------------

That night, Lin Wuyi personally directed the servants of her mansion to gather the required herbs and instruments needed to cure Zhao Yunxu. Meanwhile, Su Wuyan ensured to list all the required medicine and also asked him to find a set of silver needles as well as a bowl of warm water in order to cure Zhao Yunxu.

"Wuyan, everything is ready," said Lin Wuyi as soon as all the preparations were finished.

When Su Wuyan heard this, she smiled nonchalantly and nodded.

"Mm. I'll be there soon, tell Mr Zhao to wait for me there." then, just as she was about to leave, she remembered something important. Immediately, she turned back to Lin Wuyi.

"Wuyi, after I'm done, wait for me outside. I need to talk to you. Oh, and tell father to come too." she said seriously.

Hearing Su Wuyan's words, a chill passed through Lin Wuyi's back as he saw her resolute eyes. She seemed to have decided on something...

Gulp!

And whatever it was, Lin Wuyi knew it wasn't good. However, he could only nod in reply.

------------------------

Coming into the room, she greeted Zhao Yunxu, who sat anxiously on the bed as she carefully inspected the room the servants had arranged.

Needless to say, Lin Wuyi did a great job as he not only followed her instructions down to the dot, he even instructed Zhao Yunxu to take off his top, which had left Su Wuyan a little speechless. As expected of the person that took care of her since infancy, he really knew her intentions well! After praising Lin Wuyi's flawless work, she turned back to Zhao Yunxu.

"Mr Zhao, you can relax, first I need to ask you to lay still on the bed and drink this medicine." She said as she handed him a bowl with medicine.

As Zhao Yunxu drank the bowl, he felt it tasted quite nice for a medicine. Usually, medicine would taste bitter and be hard to swallow, but this one was rather sweet and it gave Zhao Yunxu the urge to ask for more.

As soon as he drank it, he started to feel drowsy and a warm current surrounded the painful area in his abdomen, which seemed to numb his pain slightly. Eventually, he fell unconscious.

Seeing him fall asleep, Su Wuyan acted swiftly. The medicine she had given him was just a simple herbal anaesthethic. And this would only last for a short period of time, so she had to finish this quickly.

Using the sterilized silver needles, she isolated the infected area with her needles and guided the impurities to exit through his pores. The process took a little over an hour before she finally retracted the needles. Zhao Yunxu's body ended covered in a black and murky impure substance. This was the impurity that caused his pain.

If the modern doctors back on earth were to witness this they would probably be speechless. The countless cases of acute appendicitis that they only managed to cure via an expensive surgery of its extraction was solved so simply and painlessly by alternative medicine! Anyone who saw this would be agast. Most appedicitis cases were due to blockages or even cancer, so curing it so simply was just unthinkable for the modern man.

Shortly after, Zhao Yunxu regained consciousness.

"You're awake? Good, go and clean yourself, you stink!" Said Lin Wuyi in annoyance as he covered his nose.

"Where's miss Wuyan?" he asked perplexed.

"Wuyan is busy resting. I have to go. Take that shower. Seriously, you stink."Lin Wuyi said as he left the room.

The confused Zhao Yunxu did as he was told despite many of his questions remaining unanswered.

It seems he forgot to ask whether he was cured or not...

...

In the main hall of the Su residence sat a bearded man and a young silver-haired beauty drinking tea. They were none other than the Su father and daughter.

"Father, as we've discussed, I will pass a law that shall let me have many husbands. As the empress of this country no one can stop me, not even you!" She said solemnly.

She had made up her mind. It's not that Su Wuyan didn't believe in monogamy, but that it just sounded ridiculous to her that you could only have one partner. Besides, it didn't seem too hard to implement these rules in this primitive land.

"Wuyan, I understand your determination, but who will you be marrying?"

At this question, the girl smiled and pointed to the doorway.

"Him!"

Startled, Su Luochen glanced behind himself, where his daughter's finger pointed.

However, the person he saw standing before him, made him almost freeze into stone and cough up blood.

"L-Lin Wuyi?!" Su Luochen, who up until now had been a doting father who granted his daughter's every wish was now petrified.

S-sure, it was possible for them to fall in love, and it's not like the age gap is that big in either case, but even so...

"I won't allow it! He's not worthy of you!" said Su Luochen as he stood up in anger. His face was green and he looked as if he were to pass out.

"Well, you can't refuse! I'm with child, and it's his!" said Su Wuyan as she sat with a smile in her face while rubbing her stomach.

Just as Su Luochen had refused wholeheartedly, another piece of news made his whole body turn to stone. But this time, it wasn't only he who was petrified, but also Lin Wuyi, the person in question, who had inadvertendly walked into the tiger's mouth.

Su Luochen: "....."

Lin Wuyi: "..."

For a good few minutes, the room was in pure silence as the two men were petrified into stone by the unexpected 'news'. After a while, Su Luochen managed to say in a shaky voice as he seemed to have aged a few decades.

"What... What did you just say?!"
