After dinner, Bai Ruozhu brought up the incident of being threatened by Zhou Jue to hand over the suturing technique.
"You..." Jiang Yichun's eyes widened in anger, "You are really bold, aren't you? How dare you lie to me?"
Bai Ruozhu gave him a lukewarm look, "If you dare to scare me and cause me trouble, you ought to be prepared, right?"
Jiang Yichun was choked with her words, his fiery momentum cooled instantly, "Even so, you cannot hide things like this from me. This is a life-threatening matter."
Seeing his spirits dampened, Bai Ruozhu softened her tone, "I have managed to stall him for now. It guarantees temporary safety. Besides, I don't think he would dare to reveal it, and the Imperial Court probably won't cause me any trouble."
"Did you really use the cowpox technique on him? Or was it all a bluff?" Jiang Yichun furrowed his brows.
