松鼠症仓库

After having lunch at the Liang family’s house with her silly puppy, Liu Shimei continued her tasks at the Fusheng Pavilion the next afternoon.

In order to ensure her safety in the future, she had to minimize her outings as much as possible.

Due to the increasing number of patients seeking her consultation, she refused all house calls. She decided to stay at the Fusheng Pavilion and only return to the ancestral mansion once every two or three days.

After Shu’s family sent seven or eight female physicians, Liu Shimei personally prepared exam questions for them, assessed their learning outcomes, and once they passed, allowed them to start seeing patients.

When the Liang family heard about this, they naturally had to investigate. Du Gong, who had successfully abducted and injured several officials from the Ministry of Justice, had angered the Emperor, who ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate thoroughly.

With all these visible actions taking place, Huangfu Lingyao certainly could not stay aloof!

Liu Shimei was too busy. After she stopped making house calls, patients came to her instead. She had even more patients to attend to. Apart from gynecology, there were also other difficult and complicated cases that required her Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation, and she would personally attend to them.

In addition, she had to teach her two apprentices!

So, there was even less time she could spare for her own dog. To solve this problem, she came up with a good solution—

When Liu Shimei was busy, Huangfu Lingyao stayed in Liu Shimei’s consultation room, facing a pile of books on the desk and sighing in frustration, “Ah! Why do I have to go through these books again?”

The various schools of thought, the Four Books and Five Classics, he knew them all inside out!

When Li Xin arrived, what he saw was the depressed Silly Second Prince who was almost buried in books and seemed utterly hopeless!

How bored was he?

Ink stains were everywhere, including his face!

“What is His Highness doing? Reliving the past?” Li Xin had come using the identity of the imperial coachman, so he had the right to come openly to the consultation room.

Huangfu Lingyao glared at him fiercely, spitting out the wolf hair he had bitten in his mouth, and asked, “Is there anyone outside?”

Li Xin replied, “No. Your subordinate wouldn’t dare to enter if there were anyone!”

Only then did Huangfu Lingyao become serious and asked, “Any progress?”

“None.”

Li Xin’s face tightened, saying, “These people are well-trained; they must have deep roots in the Imperial Capital. After I caught up with them, they used diversion tactics, and I ended up chasing a decoy while the real Du Gong has disappeared without a trace!”

Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes were filled with intense anger. “If he doesn’t die, the one in danger will be my future wife, don’t you understand?”

Li Xin,

Even if he had the eloquence of a storyteller, facing such a master, he couldn’t find the right words!

When it came to his master’s future wife, there were only four words that mattered: Nothing else even mattered!

To add an adjective to those four words, it would be: utterly unreasonable!

Li Xin dared not speak. Huangfu Lingyao fell silent for a moment before saying, “Go, investigate through Duke An’s side.”

“Master, do you suspect that the Miao family is involved with Du Gong?” Li Xin asked in surprise, “But we’ve been keeping an eye on the Miao family all this time and haven’t found any evidence, have we?”

Huangfu Lingyao gave him a cold glance and said, “That’s because there hasn’t been anything actionable in these years, no talking, no doing! Now the situation has changed, I don’t believe they haven’t made a move!”

Li Xin fell silent. “Yes, I will immediately send someone to watch them.”

As they were speaking, suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside.

The steps were light, with an irregular rhythm, sounding like a pair of short legs!
