Chapter 429: Please Refrain From Constantly Seeking Out My Wife
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Someone was scheming against her, and Liu Shimei had certainly considered who the mastermind might be.
However, her relationship with Mu Jiangli had not reached a point where she could share such matters.
So, after a moment of silence, she said, “There’s no conclusion yet. Today has been quite busy. Let’s focus on the matter at hand. There are still plenty of people waiting to see who will walk out of the Fusheng Pavilion alive!”
Mu Jiangli also realized that he had overstepped boundaries.
He nodded and stood up. “I came to the Imperial Capital for some business today. I heard about the opening of the Fusheng Pavilion and came to take a look. A small gift is just a sign of respect. I won’t take up any more of your time. Carry on with your work.”
“Thank you, Young Master Mu.” Liu Shimei turned to look at Huangfu Lingyao and said, “Lingyao, can you escort Young Master Mu out for me?”
“Of course!” Huangfu Lingyao, the eager helper, didn’t need any further prompting. He turned to Mu Jiangli and said, “Young Master Mu, Wife asked me to escort you!”
Mu Jiangli silently looked at him for a moment but ultimately said nothing. He bid Liu Shimei farewell and left.
Watching Huangfu Lingyao escort Mu Jiangli out, Liu Shimei lowered her eyelids in thought. She wondered, “Why does he care more about me than our business deal? What could be the reason?”
Her imagination ran wild for a moment. “Could it be that the original owner had some memory loss? But that can’t be the case. If it were, why wouldn’t Mu Jiangli just reveal it?”
She shook her head, feeling that it was unlikely. It was about time to go back to the leprosy patient’s examination room and prepare for needle extraction.
Meanwhile, Huangfu Lingyao escorted Mu Jiangli to the entrance of the Fusheng Pavilion.
By this time, most of the onlookers had dispersed. They were curious about the situation but also understood that a critically ill patient could not be cured in a day.
Today’s events confirmed that Liu Shimei was indeed skilled in medicine, and her skills were quite extraordinary. Even though she did not charge consultation fees today, only accepting payment for medicine, several reputable doctors in attendance did not doubt her medical abilities.
This was all within Liu Shimei’s expectations.
Huangfu Lingyao escorted Mu Jiangli onto the carriage, then whispered, “Today, I appreciate your goodwill, but in the future, please refrain from constantly seeking out my wife.”
Mu Jiangli curled his lips and replied, “Whether I visit her or not is my freedom. Whether she chooses to see me is her decision. What’s it to you?”
Huangfu Lingyao was taken aback.
He felt anger welling up, but since they were in the middle of the street, he could not reveal his true emotions. He could only snort and say, “I will talk to my wife and tell her not to see you!”
Then, he turned and left in a huff.
He regretted it, truly regretted it!
Human relationships, they’re often cultivated through frequent interactions. Just look at how he initially relied on the ‘cling’ tactic to win over Liu Shimei and develop the feelings they had today.
Now, Liu Shimei and Mu Jiangli may not be familiar with each other, but that doesn’t mean they’ll never become close in the future. Today, Liu Shimei is still cautious around Mu Jiangli, not sharing everything with him, but who knows what will happen after they interact more intimately?
Mu Jiangli is an exceptionally outstanding person, and Huangfu Lingyao, having known him for many years, understands this well. In any case, he’s a presence that can make him feel threatened!
Caution is needed!
After receiving acupuncture treatment from Liu Shimei, Yu Wanqing’s condition improved significantly. When the Yu family came to pick her up, sparks flew between them and the Liang family.
Liu Shimei had hit the jackpot with Yu Wanqing, making a substantial profit on the first day of her clinic’s opening!
She was feeling quite content.
Because she had been in contact with leprosy patients, Liu Shimei did not return to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence but stayed at the Fusheng Pavilion.
Two days later, symptoms began to appear in Liu Shimei’s body!
She had indeed contracted leprosy!
