Chapter 1310: Is it truly beneficial for medicine to be bitter? Each person has their own thoughts, and thus certain matters and certain individuals find themselves treated differently from the way others might expect. While Zhang Yunqian could grasp Zhang Huaying's thoughts to some extent, she had never imagined that bringing her cousin over tonight would spark such passionate, wild ideas within her—ideas that were now quietly taking root and blossoming in her heart. As for what would happen next, Zhang Yunqian could not foresee it. At this moment, she simply couldn't comprehend her cousin's thoughts. If she knew that Zhang Huaying, at this very moment, had suddenly solidified such an intensely passionate vision, would she not regret having brought her over tonight? ... Two flowers, each blooming in their own way. Meanwhile, Xu Huaying swiftly flashed through all her wild ideas in the span of a moment. Though if she were to express them aloud, they would surely astonish her cousin, Xu Huaying quickly adjusted her mindset—this wildly imaginative plan was still just in its infancy. It wasn’t clear when it would truly come to life. Since they wanted to achieve conception, they needed to wait until Lu Yun was in his peak condition. Thus, after hearing Lu Yun’s question, Xu Huaying only responded after a brief pause: "I don’t feel any more tender now. Shall we have a glass of water next?" At thirty-something, Xu Huaying managed to sound so delicately sweet, that Lu Yun couldn’t help but admire her grace. Upon hearing this, Lu Yun took a deep breath and turned to Zhang Yunqian: "Qian, Huaying has already been soothed by you. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise." When Zhang Yunqian heard Lu Yun's words, she felt a deep sense of sorrow. The inevitable had finally come—would she really have a reason to refuse? If she were to firmly decline, Lu Yun and his cousin would likely not press her. But if she did so, wouldn't it be a significant embarrassment to Lu Yun in front of his cousin? Zhang Yunqian wasn't particularly afraid of Lu Yun's anger; rather, the situation was different now. Lu Yun had a younger cousin, Xue Huaing, who was not only younger but also more graceful and poised than herself. Zhang Yunqian had no doubt that, under her cousin's persistent and charming attentions, Lu Yun would eventually find it hard to maintain his interest in her. She was a respectable woman, indeed. Before meeting Lu Yun, she had coldly rejected countless men's advances. Even when she had gone to the head of the teaching department—just to secure her promotion—she had struggled for several days, deeply reluctant, only agreeing under the relentless pressure and inducements of that old man, all for the sake of her family. Yet, she hadn't expected Lu Yun to suddenly appear on the scene. All paths lead to the same destination. No matter what their intentions were, in the end, they all fell under Land Yun's gun. Even Zhang Yunqian felt, if she could stay with Land Yun for the long term, she would be more than willing to serve as his maid. Huff, huff. Watching her cousin's passionate gaze and Land Yun's calm, expressionless face, Zhang Yunqian began to doubt whether, beneath her cousin's warmth, Land Yun had already lost interest—or even patience—toward her. With that thought in mind, Zhang Yunqian bit her lip and firmly declared, "Isn't it just about drinking water? I've got plenty of water down below. You two go ahead and drink—how much you want, that's how much you'll have." Is that really so impressive? As soon as Zhang Yunqian mentioned that her flow was abundant, Xue Huaing felt deeply不服, which was strange—usually, whenever she slightly moved, a steady stream of moisture would continuously seep out. Tonight, however, it seemed as though she had been bewitched. No matter how hard she tried, nothing came out from her lower region, and she ended up completely outmatched by Zhang Yunqian, leaving Xue Huaing genuinely frustrated. Nevertheless, this woman truly had talent. Upon hearing her cousin's teasing remarks, she immediately responded, "Sister, then I won't hold back at all!" She glanced toward Zhang Yunqian's lower region. Zhang Yunqian sighed in resignation and then gently parted her legs to fully expose her area. At that moment, Xue Huaing said, "Sister, wait a minute—there's not a single drop of water coming out of your泉eye. What am I supposed to drink?" "...?" Zhang Yunqian now just wanted to utter one word: *cucumber!* Are you still my cousin? Though we've been quietly competing behind the scenes, when Lu Yun was about to clear the weeds from your path, I was deeply worried—otherwise, I wouldn't have summoned you to the outer room to have that talk with you. Now, here I am, literally lifting a stone to crush my own foot! Zhang Yunqian felt deeply unbalanced, yet could only grit her teeth and persevere. It was clearly evident that if she fought, she simply wasn't on the same level as her cousin; they were worlds apart. Would she have to grow as delicate and fluttering as her cousin, only to stand a chance beside her—especially in Lu Yun's presence? "Sister, first let me think of something that will stir up romance, poetry, and gentle waves of emotion—something that will bring out the water. Then, hehe, I'll be able to quench my thirst with sweet, clear spring water,"薛 Huaying smiled with a touch of mischief, as if she were enjoying the spectacle of Zhang Yunqian's struggle. Chang Yunqian was about to be driven mad. "Drink! I've got plenty of water flowing down there—only fear you'll choke to death!" Chang Yunqian now stood firm, staring at her sister-in-law Xue Huaing with a defiant gaze, and declared, "Very well! In one minute, water will flow continuously from my lower body—enough to make you drink until you're satisfied!" Chang Yunqian had thought this through: for men, the water flowing from a woman's body often serves as a stimulating and exciting sensation, but for women themselves, it's typically a bitter, medicinal experience—something as unpleasant as any bitter herb. "The better medicine is bitter, the more it helps the patient. I wonder if you'll actually be able to drink it!" Under the relentless stimulation from Xue Huaing, Chang Yunqian had now completely lost her composure. After all, it was just water—drink it, then! Let her drink until she's drained!
