Su Dingheng returned to the Marquis’s Manor with a stern face. When he saw Su Yingxue leisurely staying in the courtyard, he immediately rushed in and questioned, “Su Yingxue, why haven’t you brought that genius doctor into the palace to exchange for your sister? What if something happens to Rou’er in the palace?”
“So, what if something happens? Why are you making such a fuss?” Su Yingxue focused on arranging a basin, planting the herbs she had just dug out from Medicine King Valley.
“Don’t you have any heart? She’s your sister!”
“Oh.” Su Yingxue’s expression remained indifferent.
“Marquis, this is tea with flower petals. Please have a taste.” Zhilan suddenly interrupted their conversation.
Su Dingheng smelled the fragrant aroma of the tea and became even more furious. “Why drink tea now? Su Yingxue, let me tell you, that genius doctor in your clinic should be chased out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something happens to you, don’t blame me for disregarding our father-daughter relationship.”
Su Yingxue ignored him and glanced at Zhilan with praise. “You’ve become smarter!”
“It’s all thanks to Miss’s influence. Marquis is currently in a fit of anger, so how can he enjoy tea? I used the best tea leaves and the dried flowers that Miss Wu just sent. The fragrance is captivating. If Marquis smells it, he might become even more infuriated and want to leave.” Zhilan blinked her eyes slyly and placed the tea in front of Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue finished planting the herbs and put them aside. She tasted the tea, and it was indeed good.
She remembered Wu Jinyan. “Did Sister Jinyan send a gift to Brother?”
“She has already sent one to you. How could she forget about Eldest Young Master? But Eldest Young Master is busy with military affairs and seldom returns to the residence. Shu Yan brought the gifts to the military camp. Eldest Young Master will overjoy when he receives them!” Zhilan replied with a smile.
“Prepare some gifts. The next time Sister Jinyan sends something, make sure to return the favor and ask her to accept it as a token of my gratitude.” Su Yingxue instructed.
Thinking about Wu Jinyan’s difficult situation in the Wu family, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
In a few days, once she had resolved the current matters at hand, she would lend a hand to Wu Jinyan.
Zhilan nodded and said, “Miss had previously instructed me to return a catty of bird’s nest to Miss Wu, along with some tonics and jewelry. However, the person who delivered the dried flowers today was not Miss Wu but an elderly lady from Fufeng Center. She said that Miss Wu couldn’t make it and, according to Manager Qi, Miss Wu hasn’t been to the clinic for several days.”
She said it casually, but she didn’t expect Su Yingxue to detect something amiss.
“Sister Jinyan would never slack off. She has always been diligent. If she hasn’t been to the clinic for several days, could something have happened at her home?” Su Yingxue stood up, intending to go to the Wu family to check.
Outside the door, Manager Qi rushed over. “Miss! People from the palace have arrived. They have sealed our clinic! They said they’re searching for… the Seventh Prince!”
Su Yingxue furrowed her brows and had no choice but to follow Manager Qi to the clinic.
Something had happened at the clinic again, and many people were watching from the surroundings. Even Liang Jin arrived with his men after hearing the commotion.
When he saw Su Yingxue, he frowned and asked, “Are you the owner of this clinic?”
Su Yingxue, despite her young age and previous reputation, remained polite when facing Liang Jin.
Su Yingxue nodded. “Yes, I’m Su Yingxue. Welcome, Lord Liang.”
Su Yingxue still maintained courtesy towards Liang Jin, even without wearing the black veil.
Liang Jin had no objections to Su Yingxue, but before he left, his madam had warned him not to let the genius doctor be harmed.
So, he looked at the eunuch leading the Imperial Guards. “Sir, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to act in such a manner. If there is an issue, let me handle it on your behalf..”
