Chapter 168: Du Gong Is Too Pampered With Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was too easy to find a reason to move out of the Grand Chancellor’s residence for a few days. Liu Shimei did not want to report it at first, but now she had to play the role of an ‘obedient daughter’ well, so she went to inform Madam Zhang that she was going to stay at the Liang Residence for a short time.
Madam Zhang could not help but mock her, but Liu Shimei did not care.
“Miss, let me go with you! “Mo’er was extremely worried.
Liu Shimei said, “You stay here. Nanny Li’s leg injury still needs a few days to recover. You have to take good care of her. Nanny Li should be fine by the time I come back.”
Nanny Li’s current condition required someone to take care of her, so Mo’er could only agree. “Young Miss has too few people around her. I think you should go hire some hands. Pick a few agile people to do things.”
Liu Shimei thought about it and agreed. “Mm, when 1 come back in a few days, you can accompany me. 1 really needed to recruit more reliable people!”
Because if she wanted to open a clinic in the future, she would definitely have many people around her! She would recruit a few people as soon as possible and train them. In the future, when the medical center opened, she would not have to worry about having short of manpower.
After leaving the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, Liu Shimei went to the small building. She first made herself look like Zhi Liu and went to the Zheng Medical Hall to ask for leave.
“Taking leave?” Du Gong was a little surprised and frowned. “You’ve been taking a lot of leaves recently, Zhi Liu.”
It had only been a month since she started working. It was indeed not good to have things happen one after another. Liu Shimei’s attitude was good. He smiled and said, “There are many things at home. Now, someone at home is sick and needs me to take care of the bed, so it will take at least four to five days.”
Before Du Gong could say whether he agreed or not, Jin Tao walked in from outside the consultation room and said sarcastically, “Tsk! Doctor Du, please don’t agree to it. Do you think this Zheng Medical Hall is owned by her family?”
Appearance came from the heart. Liu Shimei did not want to argue with someone shallow like Jin Tao. She only looked at Du Gong and said, “If Doctor Du doesn’t agree, I really have no other choice. Although 1 wanted to earn a few wages, there was no one to take care of the elders in the family. I had learned a little medicine, so it was not a good thing to only care about outsiders and not my family.”
Jin Tao, who had been ignored, was about to say something when Du Gong said, “What Zhi Liu said makes sense. Filial piety is the first of all virtues. If a doctor can’t even cure her own elders, how can she save the world?”
He looked at Liu Shimei and said, “You can go now. In any case, the wages of the Zheng Medical Hall will be deducted for every day of leave. 1’11 go and talk to the steward.”
“Thank you, Doctor Du!” Liu Shimei bowed.
Du Gong was letting her stay?
Liu Shimei was deep in thought.
She thought that Du Gong was too indulgent towards her, let alone Jin Tao.
When she came out, she received a jealous look from Jin Tao. Liu Shimei wanted to continue ignoring her, but Jin Tao blocked her way and said, “I say, Zhi Liu, Doctor Du is a kind-hearted person, so he will let you come or not. But don’t forget, this Zheng Medical Hall still has a master!”
“Oh. Then, may I ask Miss Jin Tao, who is the master of the Zheng Medical Hall?” Liu Shimei asked indifferently.
She had no intention of making things difficult for Jin Tao, but this person kept coming to find trouble. Even a buddha will get mad. Was this Jin Tao looking down on her?
As expected, Jin Tao choked on her words. “Even if it’s not me, how can Steward Zhang not take a person like you seriously? Sooner or later, 1’11 chase you out of the Zheng Medical Hail!”
“Heh.” Liu Shimei could not be bothered to argue with her and just smiled softly.
“What are you laughing at?” Jin Tao felt extremely humiliated by her smile!
Liu Shimei reached out and patted her shoulder, leaving behind a meaningful sentence. “Even if I’m chased away, it has nothing to do with you, right? You’re just enjoying the show. Why do you have to pester me so much just to find a sense of existence?”
After saying this, she left the door of the Zheng Medical Hall, ignoring Jin Tao’s glare..
