Chapter 344: Black and Red Is Still Red
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Miss Liu doted on her foolish, unmarried fiance so much that she exclaimed with great enthusiasm, “What a wonderful name! My beloved Lingyao has such a unique talent for naming things!”
Everyone else,
They were about to start spitting blood, okay?
This couple, the most beautiful joke in the Imperial Capital, was absolutely poisonous!
Liu Shimei turned to look at Tie Sanlang, saying, “Doctor, your trip to the Imperial Capital has not been in vain! From now on, you’ll be famous, renowned throughout the Capital!”
She gestured, “After all, black and red are both considered ‘red,’ right?”
Then, her gaze shifted towards the group of elites. “Today, if anyone can neutralize this Red Cockroach poison, I, Liu Shimei, promise to introduce them to the renowned Ghost Doctor Qi Yang!”
With a sharp turn in her tone, she continued, “Of course, whether 1 can become the senior sister in the future will depend on your individual abilities. Everyone will have to prove themselves!”
Having shown her hand and issued a warning, Liu Shimei turned to Xu Xian and said, “Xu Xian, you and Lu Ying, take them to the inner courtyard. Let Shu Jun assist you.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Yes, Master.”
They all acknowledged.
Xu Xian said, “Doctors who wish to stay, please follow me and register your names, specialties, and the schools you belong to. Those willing to attempt to neutralize the Red Cockroach poison, please step forward.”
This group of medical elites exchanged glances, while Tie Sanlang, already itching and in pain, was rolling on the ground, pleading, “Quickly… quickly… please detoxify me…”
Thinking that even Tie Sanlang had some reputation in medicine, he could not feel the poison administered to him, but when he tried to detoxify it, he was utterly clueless. Self-rescue seemed impossible!
Remembering what Liu Shimei had said about ‘black and red being both red’, the sympathy the crowd initially felt for him turned into amusement.
Miss Liu, in just one encounter, had already displayed her talents and temperament, which were no less impressive than her beauty!
It would not be a waste of time working under someone with such skills. Moreover, looking at this Fusheng Pavilion, even though it was not fully decorated yet, it still appeared quite promising.
Especially if you worked under her, there was a chance to meet the mysterious Ghost Doctor, Qi Yang. Some were genuinely considering staying!
After delegating the matter to others, Liu Shimei held Huangfu Lingyao’s hand and looked at Shu Han. She said, “Doctor Shu, would you like to continue the tour?”
“Miss Liu, please lead the way,” Shu Han nodded, unaffected by the earlier incident. In fact, he was pleased that Liu Shimei had agreed to accept his son as a disciple, which meant he would soon meet Qi Yang. A rare smile appeared on his face.
The hall quickly emptied, with Liu Shimei and her entourage heading inside, completely unaware that there was a sly-looking man outside who had been watching for a while. Seeing that there was no more entertainment, he finally turned and left.
He hurriedly entered the inner city’s Zheng Medicinal Hall, heading straight to Du Gong’s consultation room.
Du Gong had just seen off a patient when he noticed the man rushing in with a worried expression. Furrowing his brows, he asked, “What’s the rush? What happened?”
This man was none other than Jin Xi.
He panted heavily and said, “Doctor Du, we’ve found Zhi Liu!”
His eyes widened, and even after running this far, his shock had not worn off.
Du Gong’s face turned serious. “Where is she?”
Jin Xi replied, “No wonder we couldn’t find her. Originally, we thought she was just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. But, Doctor Du, you’ll never believe it. Zhi Liu isn’t just anyone, she’s…”
He stopped abruptly, as if his throat had been constricted, and fell silent.
“Who is she?” Du Gong asked urgently.
Jin Xi took a deep breath and said, “She’s the Eldest Young Miss Liu!”
Du Gong was astonished.
Seeing that Du Gong did not seem to grasp the gravity of the situation, Jin Xi emphasized, “She’s Eldest Miss Liu, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence! The same Miss Liu who caused a scandal on the night of the Lantern Festival, the one involved in the affair in the dark alley, the one who ruined her future and was given in marriage to the Second Prince!”
Du Gong was speechless..
