Chapter 186 Leaving the Cheng Residence
However, when he heard Long Chuqing's last words about offspring, he felt a sense of embarrassment and awkwardness, and that indescribable feeling welled up in his heart once again.
He doesn't know how to face this sudden marriage, or how to face his new wife.
Although he was already aware of his engagement and had met his fiancée once, he had always advised against it due to his poor health.
He didn't want to hold the girl back, and he never took matters of the heart, so he had no feelings for her whatsoever.
He was slightly touched when his mother told him that she had disregarded societal norms and chosen to marry him to bring him good luck despite her critical illness. He was determined to take responsibility for her no matter what.
But at this moment, his heart is filled with confusion. Perhaps he will gradually adapt as time goes by.
Standing to the side, Nangong Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this and gently reprimanded, "How can a young lady who is not yet married talk about these kinds of topics so casually?"
Long Chuqing didn't care at all. She calmly retorted, "What's wrong with that? I'm a doctor, and these are all normal phenomena for me."
“There’s no need to shy away from these things, especially since I’m just stating the facts, and patients and their families have the right to know.”
"Moreover," Long Chuqing said with a light smile, looking at the second young master on the bed, "today is the second young master's wedding day! After his health is restored, he can naturally have a baby."
Nangong Ming felt uncomfortable after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Why does this woman say everything? Doesn't she care about embarrassing others?"
He quickly intervened again. "Alright, alright, we already understand the situation, you don't need to say anything more."
Seeing this, Long Chuqing teased, "Eh... are you embarrassed to listen? I didn't expect Young Master Nangong to be so innocent, haha..."
Upon hearing this, Master Cheng and Madam Cheng exchanged a glance and then couldn't help but laugh.
Faced with their teasing, Nangong Ming was slightly unconvinced. He pretended to be calm and said, "Hmph... If a girl like you dares to say such things, how could I be embarrassed to listen? I'm just afraid that your words are too abrupt and will make the Second Young Master feel embarrassed."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the second young master who was sitting on the bed.
The second young master covered his lips with his hand, coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "Ahem... well, actually I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter, and the joyful atmosphere added a touch of celebration to the previously somber and oppressive atmosphere of the new house.
"By the way, Third Master Cheng and Madam Cheng, you should still pay close attention to the matter of the Second Young Master's poisoning."
"You need to pay more attention to your diet in the future and not be careless. Also, it's best to find someone trustworthy to prepare the medicine. If that's not possible, it's more reassuring to do it yourself. I can't say anything more, but I'm sure you know what to do."
After hearing Long Chuqing's words, Master Cheng and Madam Cheng's expressions became serious, and they nodded solemnly.
Master Cheng bowed to Nangong Ming and Long Chuqing, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Long, for saving my son today, and thank you, Young Master Nangong, for thinking of my son."
Long Chuqing smiled and said, "Third Master, there's no need to be so polite. It's fate that we met. Second Young Master still needs to rest and recuperate, so we won't bother you any longer."
“In that case, we will not disturb the Second Young Master’s rest any longer.” Nangong Ming nodded to the Second Young Master, indicating that he was saying goodbye.
The second young master said softly, "I'm sorry, but I'm not in a good enough position to see you off."
“Miss Long, Brother Nangong, thank you both for visiting me today and for your help in treating me. Once I recover, I will definitely hold a banquet to properly thank you both.”
Nangong Ming quickly waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Second Young Master, you flatter me. This is all thanks to Miss Long. If you want to thank someone, thank her. There's no need to thank me. I really don't dare to take credit for it."
Long Chuqing smiled and said, "Treating the sick and saving lives is a doctor's duty. Second Young Master, you don't need to be so polite. Now you should rest well!"
She then picked up the medicine box on the table and looked at Nangong Ming beside her: "Let's go."
"Cheng escorted the two men out of the residence."
The second young master sat on the bed watching the others slowly leave the room. The door closed gently, leaving only the second young master and Madam Cheng in the room.
At this moment, Madam Cheng spoke softly: "Chuan'er, Jiajia is still in the next room. She is very worried about you. I will go and bring her here to take care of you."
"Mother..." The second young master sighed deeply.
Master Cheng escorted them all the way to the gate of the mansion and thanked Long Chuqing profusely.
After bidding farewell, Nangong Ming and Long Chuqing boarded a carriage and headed towards the Nangong residence.
"See? I knew it would be right to ask you to come along!" Inside the carriage, Nangong Ming looked at Long Chuqing sitting opposite him: "Now that the Second Young Master's illness has finally been effectively treated, and with the wedding going smoothly today, it's truly a double celebration!"
Long Chuqing glanced at him. "Now you're quite the talker, but you didn't have such foresight before? You're just a Monday morning quarterback."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ming shook his head and chuckled. Then he sighed, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that the Second Young Master wasn't sick but poisoned. Thinking about all these years, he has been tormented by toxins and suffered greatly." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
Long Chuqing nodded in agreement, "Yes! Think about it, all these years, there has always been a treacherous person by his side who is plotting to kill him."
"And the fact that they didn't notice anything all these years is quite remarkable. This person is a very good actor in real life, he fooled everyone and hid himself very well."
Nangong Ming deeply agreed: "Fortunately, the murderer used a slow-acting poison. If a potent drug that could kill the Second Young Master in one dose had been used, he probably would have died long ago and wouldn't be alive today."
“Indeed,” Long Chuqing said thoughtfully. “It is rare that this murderer is so calm and patient, having spent so much time planning and choosing to spend years administering the drug. I really admire him.”
"You're even praising the murderer now," Nangong Ming couldn't help but complain. "Shouldn't we condemn such heinous acts?"
“Of course, condemnation is warranted,” Long Chuqing said casually. “What I admire is his perseverance. If it were me, I wouldn’t have the patience to waste so many years with him.”
Long Chuqing thought for a moment and continued, "However, in these grand mansions, this kind of thing is not unusual."
She shook her head and sighed, "Alas... wealthy families are troublesome. With so many people, there are so many disputes and schemes."
