Jiang Ningbao felt as if she ate a pill that set the mind at peace and the worry at her heart disappeared.

A cold wind blew by and Jiang Ningbao sneezed. She abruptly snapped back. They were still in the veranda and in the corner of her eye, Jiang Ningbao could see that observing people and her face turned red.

"The pouring rain is cold outside, let's talk inside." After saying this, she left Duke Ding's embrace and pulled Duke Ding's big hand to her room. She could not help but feel upset. Duke Ding definitely came rushing here and became drenched from head to toe. She actually dawdled in the veranda where the wind blew coldly.

She really should not be.

"Chun Xi, send someone to take a clean set of clothes from my older brother's place." Jiang Ningbao ordered Chun Xi once she entered the room and took a clean handkerchief to wipe the rain water from the duke's handsome face and hair.

Duke Ding focused his gaze on the little lady and the softness in his eyes was clear to see.

Jiang Ningbao flushed from his heated gaze as if she had blush on, looking rosy and attractive. After she wiped dry Duke Ding's face and hair, she poured a cup of hot tea for him and spoke in a soft voice.

"Sir duke, sit down and drink hot tea to warm yourself. I will get an earthen jug of cold dispelling medicinal wine for you."

"Alright."

Duke Ding looked at the tender, pretty, and kind little lady as he reached out his hand to receive the hot tea. He looked at her leaving back that went to take medicinal wine and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously. The worry and anxiety in his heart disappeared at that moment.

A while later, Jiang Ningbao took a delicate small wine jug to the room and after opening its seal, the concentrated nice smell of the medicine wafted. Jiang Ningbao poured a small cup for Duke Ding and spoke with a smile.

"Cold dispelling medicinal wine."

Duke Ding emptied it with one swallow and the coldness on his body disappeared. In place of it was a warmth that traveled through his body, very comfortable.

He could not help but think of the soldiers in the northwest's bitter cold land. His handsome face turned serious and he asked, "Ningbao, the effect of this medicinal wine is very good, is it hard to make it?"

Jiang Ningbao understood Duke Ding's meaning and smiled. She answered with seriousness and detail, "Sir duke, making this cold dispelling medicinal wine is actually very easy, the receipt is also simple, and the herbs needed are common. It can be said to be lower than the composition of the alcohol in the wine stores."

"The important point is my special ability."

"If sir duke needed this kind of cold dispelling medicinal wine, I can spend some time brewing it."

Duke Ding nodded, "Give the list of herbs to me."

Almost all of the alcohol in the Dayue Dynasty was made from grains and the production of grains was not high. The commoners depended on the weather for their crops and Dayue Dynasty made a lot of prohibitions on alcohol but it continued despite repeated prohibitions.

But the wines the little lady brewed were medicinal wines and flower wines, her course of action made the duke felt gratified.

Duke Ding did not know that Jiang Ningbao was a person from the apocalypse who transmigrated and had placed importance on grains since she was little so she won't waste any grains, only using herbs and edible flowers to brew wines.

"Okay." Jiang Ningbao did not refuse and agreed with a smile.

At this time, Chun Xi's voice rang from outside.

"Sir duke, lady, the clean set of clothes has been taken."

Jiang Ningbao happily took the new set of clothes and gave it to the duke and then pulled him to the door of the middle room, pushing him inside. "Sir duke, quickly change out of your wet gown." After saying this, she closed the door.

Duke Ding Xie Heng looked at the new clothes on his hand and his mouth raised to a very small curve.

Around fifteen minutes later, Duke Ding Xie Heng changed into a purplish blue new gown and strode out of the room with steady steps. His brows were sharp and his features were handsome with oppressive aura, making one's heart palpitate.

The only disharmonious thing was that the size of the gown did not really fit. Duke Ding's body was taller and Jiang Jin's gown seemed a bit shorter on Duke Ding's body. It was also tighter, outlining Duke Ding's good figure.

"Sir duke, the lady went to change clothes, please wait for a while at the main hall. This servant will retreat."

Chun Xi immediately felt an oppressive force once Duke Ding came out and her heart felt depressed and upset. She immediately spoke out the words and left after bowing.

Duke Ding: "....."

A while later, Jiang Ningbao went to the main hall with a white bottomed scattered cerise flower silk skirt. She saw the long gown with a size that did not fit Duke Ding and covered her mouth as she laughed silently. Her eyes were filled with sigh. A person with a bearing and good figure would look good in any clothes.

Once she thought that such a good man was hers, Jiang Ningbao's brows were filled with joy.
