Chapter 254 Is there any medicine that can make a man impotent?
Inside the hot pot restaurant, the broth in the pot bubbled and churned, and wisps of milky white steam rose and slowly diffused into the private room.
Yun Shang glanced sideways, his gaze fixed intently on the girl beside him, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.
She always surprised him, and was kind in ways he never expected.
Whether it was Wan Yuru's predicament or Granny Sheng's injustice, Yu Wan did not choose to stand idly by.
Yu Wan could have completely ignored the affairs of Wan Yuru and Granny Sheng. If she were kind-hearted, she could have simply asked her servants to lend a hand. However, Yu Wan treated their affairs as her own, doing her best to help them.
To help Granny Sheng, he even risked his life to persuade Princess Xiang.
That's incredibly audacious.
Yun Shang felt that he could no longer remember what Yu Wan looked like in Shijia Village.
He only remembers Yu Wan now.
Her eyes are clear and bright, and she always has a smile on her face. Being with her makes even the gloomiest sky seem bright.
Yu Wan was completely oblivious to Yun Shang's gaze.
She stared intently at the mutton in the pot, waited eight seconds, then immediately picked up some serving chopsticks and shared it with everyone. "Quick, quick, eat it while it's hot! I had the chef at the restaurant slice this mutton thinly. Once it changes color in the pot, you can take it out. It'll be tender and juicy, with absolutely no gamey taste..."
When the topic of food comes up, her eyes instantly light up, as if sparkling stars have been sprinkled into them, full of liveliness and enthusiasm.
Yun Shang's gaze followed her intently, never looking away for a moment.
Lady Anguo took in the whole scene, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips.
Although the Yun family's child has a lower status now, his heart and eyes are still full of his daughter.
Yu Ji Hot Pot opened smoothly. Because of its novel ingredients and delicious taste, Yu Ji Hot Pot is always packed every day, and the private rooms on the second floor are especially popular.
The next day, Yu Wan hosted a banquet for Princess Changning. Princess Changning had eaten many delicious foods, but she had never tasted such a novel hot pot, and she kept praising it.
Perhaps because Princess Changning had patronized the hot pot restaurant, the private rooms on the second floor had become even more sought after, with reservations already booked for a month in advance.
With the exoneration of Granny Sheng, the quelling of the Mengli ethnic group's rebellion, and the successful opening of the hot pot restaurant, Yu Wan keenly sensed that the invisible "plot line" was less influencing those around her.
In the original novel, Yun Shang was aloof and rarely smiled, but now, Yu Wan has witnessed the faint smile that inadvertently appeared on his lips several times.
Like ice and snow melting away, her smile was truly beautiful.
She almost couldn't resist pouncing on someone.
Since Shen and Yunxi arrived in Shengjing, the two of them have been sleeping in the same room and on the same bed.
Logically speaking, a man and a woman alone together, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, are bound to have something happen.
But the truth is, nothing happened!
Yun Shang was as cold and restrained as a monk who had spent his whole life practicing asceticism in a Buddhist monastery. He not only did not overstep any boundaries with her, but he also seemed to have no basic physiological reaction.
Yu Wan couldn't help but be shocked. Could this guy be impotent?
Can't?
To outsiders, Yu Wan seems sweet and obedient, but deep down she has a strange rebellious streak.
If Yun Shang were too enthusiastic towards her, she might shrink back into her safe shell like a snail.
However, if Yun Shang is too cold to her, she will become bolder and unable to resist taking the initiative to seduce him.
For several nights in a row, Yu Wan deliberately changed out of her white nightgown and put on a light pink, semi-transparent gauze dress.
After Yun Shang returned from her bath, she deliberately turned to the side while reading, and her collar and skirt 'inadvertently' slipped down.
Yu Wan knew best how alluring and fiery this body was. She originally thought Yun Shang would definitely lose control, but to her surprise, no matter how she struck a pose, Yun Shang remained unfazed.
They even thoughtfully handed her a blanket, saying, "It's cold at night, wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."
Yu Wan: "..."
He's definitely not going to make it!
Yu Wan harbored this doubt in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, but she was too embarrassed to ask Yun Shang directly.
Ministry of Rites.
Many officials have noticed that their young Vice Minister of Rites has been acting strangely lately.
In the past, he only exuded a sense of aloofness that kept people at a distance, but now, that coldness is even stronger, making people feel a chill as soon as they get close.
Moreover, he severely reprimanded all the subordinate officials in the government office in the past few days.
Although everyone harbored resentment, they dared not utter a word of it, since the fault lay with them.
Seeing that Yun Shang was in a bad mood, Wang Ling felt he had an opportunity to take advantage of him, and often spoke sarcastically and sarcasticly in front of him.
Yun Shang, however, seemed oblivious to this, as if he had not heard anything.
Upon seeing this, the officials of the Ministry of Rites all believed that Vice Minister Yun's temperament was gradually becoming more gentle.
To everyone's surprise, when Wang Ling finished his shift in the evening, he tripped and fell flat on his face in front of the Ministry of Rites.
It was during the peak period when officials were leaving work, and many people witnessed Wang Ling's wrestling.
Wang Ling was filled with shame and indignation, and almost wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
Yun Shang remained calm and composed as he steadily stepped out of the yamen. He glanced at him indifferently and said, "Why would Lord Wang be so desperate?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ling was furious, but because his mouth was full of mud, he could not retort and could only watch Yun Shang leave, looking quite comical.
The passing officials burst into laughter.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites, witnessing this scene, all remained silent, lost in thought.
Indeed, it was better to offend Vice Minister Wang than Vice Minister Yun.
After finishing his shift, Yun Shang did not go home, but went straight to a clinic in the city called Huichuntang.
Huichuntang is the very clinic where Miaohong and Granny Sheng rushed in for help when they were being chased by Xiangwang's men.
For now, Old Man Feng is temporarily providing free medical consultations at Huichuntang.
Although Old Man Feng was a bit unreliable on a daily basis, he was indeed a kind-hearted doctor who consulted doctors and treated patients at Huichuntang without charging a penny.
The doctor at Huichuntang initially thought he was just a somewhat skilled itinerant doctor, but after seeing Old Man Feng giving acupuncture to a hemiplegic patient, he was immediately moved.
The Thirteen Needles of Miaoyun are the unique skills of the legendary Physician Feng. It is said that as long as a person still has a breath left, Physician Feng can save them by inserting thirteen needles.
Upon realizing Old Man Feng's true identity, the doctors at Huichuntang became even more respectful towards him.
Neither of them said anything, but Old Man Feng knew that he probably recognized him. Seeing that he was kind-hearted, he would occasionally give him some pointers.
When Yun Shang came to Huichuntang, he said he was looking for Old Man Feng, and the old doctor at Huichuntang immediately became very attentive and enthusiastic towards him.
The old doctor said, "Doctor Feng is currently administering acupuncture to a patient in the inner room. Young master, please sit for a moment and have some tea to soothe your throat."
Yun Shang thanked him politely and thoroughly, and then sat down comfortably.
Before long, Old Man Feng stretched and came out of the inner room. He immediately saw Yun Shang and frowned, saying, "Who's in trouble now?"
Yun Shang calmly put down his teacup, met Old Man Feng's gaze, and slowly uttered a single word: "Me."
Inside the consultation room, Old Man Feng felt Yun Shang's pulse, his expression somewhat grave.
After a while, he shook off Yun Shang's hand and said irritably, "Your weakness is almost cured. Your pulse is strong and powerful. There's nothing wrong with you. Why did you come to see me if you had nothing better to do?"
Yun Shang lowered his eyes and asked a startling question, "Mr. Feng, is there any medicine that can temporarily render a man impotent?"
Old Feng was drinking tea when he heard this and spat it all out.
