“Ah, little girl, you don’t understand. I’m old enough to believe in predestination. I just feel that you should be my student, so I asked.” The old doctor still doesn’t say it clearly.
Seeing Yan Ling is hesitant, the old doctor immediately adds that he is skilled in medicine and has many other skills. Most of all, there is no harm to learn from him without tuition.
Yan Ling thinks a little and looks up at Liang He who stands by. Seeing that he is the first person that Yan Ling turns to, Liang He feels satisfied and a little proud.
Although Liang He thinks that this doctor is a little petty-minded, he is not a bad guy based on their short-term contact. It’s not clear whether he has some purposes or is reliable, but as the old doctor said, “she won’t suffer any loss to acknowledge him as a teacher.”
Therefore, Liang He signals that Yan Ling can make her own decision. It doesn’t matter if she wants to have a teacher.
Finally, Yan Ling nods and agrees. However, because Yan Ling is still ill, the ceremony is simple. Except for serving a cup of tea, Yan Ling does nothing. Even she sits all the way.
But, obviously, the old doctor does not mind. He smilingly accepts the tea and his satisfaction is completely shown on his face.
“Ah, you. Your wife is my student. Don’t you have to call me Shifu? It means respecting the elderly. Can you understand?” The old doctor glances over at Liang He.
Liang He feels that he is holding his breath. Although it cannot be said how angry he is, he just feels that he is out of breath. In the end, neither of them speaks.
The old doctor deliberately provoked Liang He, now he doesn’t pay attention to him. Instead, he turns his head and says to Yan Ling, “my name is Mu Qingqiu. What’s your name, student?”
Yan Ling obediently tells him, and the old doctor suddenly laughs, “I just want a student but I didn’t expect that my student is the daughter of the prime minister. The old man is lucky.”
Liang He didn’t expect that the seemingly ordinary old doctor confirms Yan Ling’s identity only by her name. He is alert and frowns involuntarily.
Of course Mu Qingqiu sees what Liang He is thinking about and feels that he is completely nervous. Even ordinary people in the capital should know some names of the powerful people.
What’s more, the prime minister’s family is the only Yans in the capital, which is not hard to think of. Although, Mu Qingqiu didn’t infer through this way.
“Well, why are you so suspicious? Go out and ask, there are a lot of people who know that. Get out of here. I’m going to treat my student.” Mu Qingqiu starts to drive him out.
Liang He still feels strange, but he cannot tell. Therefore, he definitely won’t go out obediently.
“If you want to cure her, why do you have to drive me out? Is there anything that I need to avoid?” Asks Liang He.
“I said it’s my unique skill. Don’t think you are the same with my student as long as you call me teacher like my student.” Mu Qingqiu still doesn’t like him.
“……” Liang He only feels blue veins bursting out on the forehead. When did he call him Shifu? He said it as if he really wants to be his student.
“And you broke my desk. Go get me a new one. See it clearly. It’s made of good ebony!” As Mu Qingqiu says, he tries to drive Liang He out.
Yan Ling doesn’t perceive anything, but Liang He has found something strange.
This clinic is small, but even a common table is made of ebony. The furniture is a complete set, so the worth of the furniture equals the price of a few big houses in the capital.
Therefore, the doctor called Mu Qingqiu is not as simple as he appears to be.
However, it seems that he has no malice for the time being, so Liang He plans to investigate him in private. Anyway, now he has been pushed out of the door, and he has nothing to worry about, so he goes to the lake again.
Liang He flew back with Yan Ling, leaving two maids on the boat with the boatman. It’s estimated that they should have arrived at the shore now and they must be very worried.
Liang He doesn’t care about them, but Yan Ling is in the clinic now and could not go back home in a short time.
He has to make the Prime Minister’s House know that Yan Ling is safe. So he needs to tell these two maids the story and then send them back. As for the story, Liang He already has a plan.
When Liang He arrives where he has landed, he cannot find the two maids. Liang He asks the vendor on the lakeside, and finds out that they ran away in a hurry after getting on the shore. And they seem to have run towards the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
Liang He is a little relieved. These two maid are smart enough not to run back to the Prime Minister’s House directly, or it will be difficult to explain.
Liang He subconsciously looks around the lake, and does not see Liang Yi. He has expected that, but his expression becomes serious.
“No matter what your plan is, as long as it involves my beloved, I can’t let you make it.” Liang He thinks in his heart, then heads for his mansion.
Actually if it weren’t Qingyu, Liyi would have gone back to the Prime Minister’s House and made everyone know that.
When they first got off the boat, Liyi didn’t see Yan Ling and didn’t know where to go. Qingyu inferred that Yan Ling could not be sent back home according to her situation. Although they didn’t know where she was, as long as they went to the Crown Prince’s mansion and wait, there would be news.
Because of this, Liang He sees the two anxious maids as soon as he arrives at his house.
“Your Highness, how about Lady Ling? What’s the matter now? Is she OK?” Liyi asks directly without any salute when she sees Liang He.
Liang He doesn’t mind this, and he tells them, “there’s no big deal now, but she still has to stay in the clinic and cannot go back for the time being. You two go back first and explain to the Prime Minister. I will take care of Lady Ling.”
Liyi is hesitant, and Qingyu who gets better immediately stands out and salutes slightly.
Qingyu says slowly with her head lowered, “when we return, we will tell the Prime Minister that Lady Ling will stay with Princess Zhaoyan today because of her invitation.”
Liang He nods. Although this maid has been serving Yan Ling for not a long time, she is smart and calm. In this case, then there is no need for him to say more.
“That’s it. Go back first. I’ll send someone to tell Princess Zhaoyan.” Liang He says, and sends a servant to Princess Zhaoyan’s.
