Chapter 442: Visiting for Treatment
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even a fool could tell how devoted he was to his wife!
She was not even officially his wife yet, but he obeyed her every word, showing such tender care!
It seemed that Miss Liu had landed herself quite a catch in this marriage proposal; perhaps it was not entirely a bad thing after all.
If strangers treated her this way, as the recipient of such affection, Miss Liu’s mood naturally couldn’t be bad.
She smiled and said, “It’s alright, there are people waiting for me to treat their illnesses. Whenever someone needs me, I’ll return to the medical hall!”
Upon hearing her words, the mood of many people subtly shifted: Right! Their attention on Liu Shimei was more about her fame than her medical skills. They all said Eldest Miss Liu was exceptionally skilled; she had even cured someone who was on the verge of death. So why hadn’t anyone thought of seeking her medical expertise before?
Then Liu Shimei raised her voice, “I am a female physician, and I prefer treating women. If there are women in your households who need medical attention, don’t hesitate to find me!”
Immediately, someone spoke up, “My wife is ill. I’ll go back today and bring her to see Doctor Liu tomorrow!”
Before Liu Shimei could respond, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, “Please make way, we demand a consultation!”
Hearing that voice, she had a hunch.
And indeed, Liu Shimei’s guess was correct. Soon after, pushing through the crowd, there she was – Miao Linglong!
“Hey, isn’t this the legitimate Young Miss of Duke An’s Residence?”
“Yes, yes, yes! I heard this Miss Miao Linglong is one of the candidates for the Crown Prince’s consort!”

In the crowd, there were those who recognized her. Through the grapevine, everyone present soon found out that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke An among the four candidates for the Crown Princess Consort?
After making way, Miao Linglong walked up to Liu Shimei and said, “Miss Liu… Oh, I should address you as Doctor Liu now.”
She smiled and continued, “On the day Fusheng Pavilion opened, I paid a visit. But Eldest Young Miss Liu, you were quite busy, so I thought I’d come after you were free. Unexpectedly, you isolated yourself due to contracting leprosy.”
With that, she signaled her maid to bring the gift box and said, “I apologize for the belated congratulatory gift. I hope you can forgive my tardiness.”
“Thank you, Miss Miao.” Liu Shimei’s reply was very official, and her smile remained polite.
She endured it.
But when Huangfu Lingyao saw Miao Linglong, his expression turned grim. He walked nervously to Liu Shimei’s side, holding her arm and warily glancing at Miao Linglong. He asked, “What are you up to now?”
Last time they met, they almost had a physical altercation, making the situation quite unsightly.
Miao Linglong’s audacity truly knew no bounds!
No matter how displeased Miao Linglong was, what could she argue with a fool?
Her smile remained intact as she said, “Eldest Miss Liu, you might remember that I mentioned before how my mother has been unwell. We have consulted various doctors and even royal physicians, but her condition never improved. As her children, it’s been a great worry for us.”
“You want my wife to diagnose your mother?” The Second Prince’s wariness instantly diminished. He looked reluctant, turning to Liu Shimei, and asked softly, “Wife, should we help her?”
Apparently, this King Dun Yu did not seem too eager to go and diagnose Duke An’s wife?
So, everyone became curious again.. Would Eldest Young Miss Liu go or not?
