Chapter 32: Smart

Dean Shen was shocked to see the young man in embroidered clothes at the door.

This brat was really Young Master Jing.

Young Master Jing was not easy to get along with. He looked young but was merciless.

Fortunately, this kid didn’t really escape. He hoped that Young Master Jing could forgive him for his sake!

“Young Master Jing-you came back at the right time-Young Master has no grudges with anyone, but someone wants to harm Young Master-”

Changping began to mourn again.

The young man in embroidered clothes quickly swept his gaze across the scene and paused on his unconscious cousin for a moment before turning to look at the stranger who had appeared in the room.

“Let go!”

Dean Shen scolded in a low voice.

Shen Chuan was so frightened that he forgot that he was still holding Su Xiaoxiao’s fat wrist.

Su Xiaoxiao calmly moved her hand away.

Dean Shen hurriedly said, “Young Master Jing, listen to me. My son didn’t mean-”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Changping’s cries. “She drugged Young Master and almost killed him… Your son let her in… He even said that it wasn’t intentional…”

“This…” Dean Shen’s scalp went numb.

There was a big misunderstanding. How should he protect his son?

At this moment, the manager of Rongen Hall followed over with another doctor surnamed Yang.

The two of them were originally with the young man in embroidered clothes, but the young man suddenly quickened his pace. The two of them could not catch up, so they fell behind by a few steps.

However, what did that servant say just now?

Did someone drug a noble?

The shopkeeper of Rongen Hall crossed the threshold and recognized the little fat village girl in the room at a glance.

“It’s you!”

“Shopkeeper Cao, do you know her?” Dean Shen asked.

Manager Cao looked at Dean Shen. “She’s a little liar. The last time she came to Rongen Hall to cheat, I discovered her in time and chased her out! Dean Shen, why is she here? The person who drugged the noble just now… Could it be her?”

Dean Shen’s expression gave Manager Cao an answer.

Manager Cao clenched his fists and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao’s nose. “I know! No wonder there’s no improvement in the noble’s illness. It’s because of you!”

Dean Shen was unhappy to hear this.

Doctor Dong had treated Young Master a few days ago. Did Manager Cao mean that this girl had come several times? Was their academy so careless?

Or was it his son who let this girl over every day to harm Young Master?

Shen Chuan chuckled and said, “Cao, don’t slander others! Why are you blaming Miss Su for your lack of medical skills? Miss Su just arrived today!”

This time, Dean Shen stood on his son’s side.

The young man in embroidered clothes moved his feet.

He did not speak. It was just a slight movement, but it deterred everyone.

The house fell silent.

Shen Chuan boldly glanced at him and saw him walking towards him. Shen Chuan’s breathing paused, and his heart was in his throat.

The young man stopped in front of him.

He was so nervous he couldn’t breathe.

“Why are you here?” the young man in brocade asked.

“I, I, I…” Shen Chuan stammered, not knowing how to answer.

“I’m looking for someone,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Shen Chuan was stunned. Only then did he realize that the young man was talking to Miss Su.

“What did you give my cousin?” the young man in embroidered clothes continued.

“Medicine,” Su Xiaoxiao replied.

“You know medicine?”

“I know a thing or two.”

“What illness does my cousin have?”

“Lung disease.”

“Can you cure it?”

“I can.”

“What are the chances?”

“If the patient has no hidden illness, the chances are very high.”

“Okay, you treat him.”

Everyone was shocked!

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I don’t want anyone to disturb me when I’m doing my treatment.”

Especially the one called Changping. He was too noisy.

The young man in embroidered clothes said, “Sure.”

“No onlookers.”

“Sure.”

“The consultation fee is very expensive.”

“That’s fine.”

Shopkeeper Cao’s expression turned ugly. “Young Master Jing! Don’t be deceived! She’s a liar!”

Shen Chuan chuckled. “You’re the liar! You took so much money from Young Master Jing, but you treated him until he was half-dead! What right do you have to call others liars!”

“You!” Shopkeeper Cao choked.

He turned to look at the young man in embroidered clothes. “Young Master Jing, Doctor Yang is a famous doctor I invited from the city. Are you sure you want a little girl from the countryside to treat the noble in his place? I’ll be blunt first. If this girl treats the noble, our Rongen Hall won’t clean up her mess! It’ll be too late for her to come to our Rongen Hall then!”

The young man in embroidered clothes said expressionlessly, “Bai Ze, send the guest away.”

“Yes!”

The guard called Bai Ze looked at Manager Cao and the others coldly. “Please.”

“Hmph!” Shopkeeper Cao flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

Dean Shen opened his mouth. “Young Master Jing, this is a serious matter. Please think twice.”

The young man in embroidered clothes did not answer him. Instead, he said, “With Cousin’s current situation, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Dean Shen for a few more days.”

Dean Shen understood that he had made up his mind. He cupped his hands and said, “It’s my honor.”

After leaving the house, Dean Shen frowned and looked at Shen Chuan. “Do you know what’s going on? Young Master Jing seems to know that village girl.”

Shen Chuan thought for a moment. “Dad, now that you mention it, I remember that Young Master Jing was also in Jin Ji that day! He should have seen Miss Su!”

The scene that day was a pity. He actually didn’t witness Su Xiaoxiao saving someone with his own eyes. He went to the opposite side to look for her and only saw a fat village girl coming out of Jin Ji. Not long after, Young Master Jing came out.

Everyone was talking about how the young man in embroidered clothes had knocked down a crazy horse and how the fat village girl had saved the child who had choked on food.

Inside the house, the young man in embroidered clothes said to Changping, “You can leave.”

Changping did not dare to disobey the brocade-robed youth and obediently retreated.

The young man looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Miss Su?”

He had heard Shen Chuan call her that.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and turned to look at him. “Young Master Jing?”

She had also heard others call him that.

“Jingyi,” he said.

“Miss Su,” she said.

Some things happened by chance. He wanted to avoid it, but it seemed to be destined. The heavens had made a decision for him.

“I’ll pay you for the last consultation fee.” He was talking about her helping him reattach his dislocated arm.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse.

Although she didn’t take it to heart, to these big shots, it was the hardest to return a favor. It was better to give the other party a consultation fee in the form of two silver ingots.

“I’ll leave my cousin’s illness to you.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi agreed to come back tomorrow. After she left with the basket, Jing Yi called Bai Ze over.

“Check her identity.”

“Yes.”
