Shi Qingxue was stunned for a while and opened her almond eyes slightly, as if she were shocked by Mo Junyang’s heroic words.

Her stiff expression seemed to complain why Mo Junyang could say something so shameful.

If Mo Junyang didn’t hear Shi Qingxue’s bold words, only judging from her big bright eyes, he would wonder whether he said something wrong.

He wouldn’t be fooled by Shi Qingxue easily this time.

He looked at her coldly in silence.

Shi Qingxue tilted her head slightly, as if lost in thought.

She kept quiet for a while and then looked at Mo Junyang seriously, saying in a vague tone involuntarily,

“So…how about we are like clandestine lovers?”

Mo Junyang’s brows trembled.

“Ahem!”

A series of coughs were from outside suddenly and interrupted the weird atmosphere in the carriage.

Shi Qingxue finally realized that this carriage was not as sound-proof as imagined, and Wei Ziye with sharp ears was outside.

Her face got burning hot in an instant, and she tried to explain in haste, “No. I talked nonsense just now. Don’t take it seriously.”

She intentionally said loudly and obviously spoke to Wei Ziye outside.

She was joking and just said that to tease Mo Junyang.

Qingxue wanted to see more expressions on the cold face, so she restrained her shyness and said that to flirt with him, yet as she realized that Wei Ziye heard it, she wished to find a hole to hide herself.

Wei Ziye seemed unable to consider the young lady’s feelings but stressed outside the curtain, “My Lady, don’t worry. I didn’t hear anything.”

It was better not to say that.

Shi Qingxue was so shy that she didn’t dare to show her face.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she hurriedly jumped out and waved her hand to fan herself while looking around. She shouted, exposing herself unwittingly while trying to cover up, “It’s so hot. Why is the weather so hot?”

Mo Junyang noticed that Shi Qingxue wanted to avoid the subject which made her shy, but he stated, “Perhaps somebody’s words are hotter.”

The words…were hot…

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

This time, it was her turn to be unable to speak after hearing the flirtation.

She had a blush on her face, which was like an apple, unable to be seen.

“Jerk.” She pretended to be angry and glared at Mo Junyang, deciding to ignore this jerk.

Shi Qingxue ran to Wei Ziye and asked in confusion, “Where shall we stay next?”

The place where they stopped was not like a hotel.

Wei Ziye answered, “Although we visit this city in secret dressed like ordinary people, since we have entered Jiangzhou City, you and Master can’t be put to inconvenience in a hotel. This small house has been prepared earlier, and it’s clean and safe. Please stay here at ease for now.

“If you need something else, let’s move to another place.”

Shi Qingxue carefully looked the residence up and down that she would stay in the following days.

It was located on a street, and there were not many or few passers-by. It must be not the main street, and if something happened in the future, it wouldn’t cause much influence, and they would leave secretly. The courtyard was not big. Judging from its appearance, it was unspectacular, the same as the civilian’s house, and people standing on the street might not find it at a glance.

However, Shi Qingxue carefully checked the courtyard. It was arranged meticulously and gracefully. The furniture and decorations were top-grade but low-key and steady. The grass and trees in the courtyard were planted perfectly. It was suitable to live in.

“It’s great.” Qingxue was satisfied.

She grabbed Mo Junyang’s arm excitedly and went to the room. On the way, she suddenly remembered that a patient was lying in the carriage.

“I almost forget it. We have to find a doctor for her.”

However, before she walked, she was pulled back by Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang didn’t allow her to move. “Leave it to Ziye. You are not familiar with Jiangzhou City. Don’t tire yourself.”

Shi Qingxue pondered for a moment and thought that he was right, so she stopped hesitating. She smiled at Wei Ziye. “Ziye, thanks. You are capable, so you need to do more jobs.”

Wei Ziye bowed and answered, “My Lady, don’t worry. I will find a doctor to save that girl.”

He made a promise without delay and didn’t take it seriously.

Nevertheless, after half a day, Wei Ziye regretted it as he talked wildly.

He personally took the young girl to see doctors in some clinics, but something weird happened.

Those doctors saw the young girl in Wei Ziye’s arms and put their fingers on her wrist. Before they asked, they turned pale and then waved their hands repeatedly. “I am sorry that I am incapable. Please look for a more skilled doctor.”

In the beginning, Wei Ziye didn’t mind. Till the doctors said the same after he went to three clinics, he got mad.

“What the hell? You open a clinic, but before examining a patient sent to you, you said that you can’t treat her. Do you qualify to be a doctor?”

Unexpectedly, the old doctor spoke more loudly than him and cursed impatiently, “I said that I can’t treat her. Go away now. Don’t disturb me when I am doing business.”

It was Wei Ziye’s first time to see somebody who was ruder than him although unreasonable. He was so angry that he grabbed the old doctor’s collar and asked ferociously, “What? You are bold with sufficient reasons even though you can’t treat her? Will you continue to open this clinic? If not, I will destroy it for you.”

Before Wei Ziye worked for Mo Junyang, he was idling about in society. Although he restrained himself later, when he showed his ferocious look, the ordinary people would be scared to wet themselves.

The old doctor was shorter than Wei Ziye, and he was lifted by Wei Ziye, with his feet in the air.

His eyes started to roll, as if he would faint soon, and his arrogance disappeared at once.

A young disciple of the doctor who looked on hurriedly walked forward to beg for mercy. “Sir, please don’t be angry. If you have something, let’s talk about it.”

Wei Ziye sneered and snorted. “What? You want to talk about it now?”

The other two were as obedient as quails and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“Please, please.”

Wei Ziye put the old doctor down unhurriedly at last and placed him in the chair which was for treating patients specially. Then he laid the young girl on the couch, pointing at her indifferently. “Examine her.”

The old doctor didn’t dare to put on airs anymore but trembled while checking the girl’s pulse. Then he raised his hand to lift her eyelids. After dillydallying for quite a while, he didn’t say anything.

Wei Ziye got impatient while waiting and snorted. “Tell me. What’s wrong with her?”

“Er…” The old doctor looked around aimlessly and stuttered. He didn’t say anything useful after a long time.

Wei Ziye was sophisticated and could certainly find that this old doctor was trying to delay.

He didn’t speak but drew a part of the long sword on his waist and waved it in front of the old doctor.

The old doctor became cowardly and quickly waved his hand. “Sir, no hurry. I will tell you at once.”

He lowered his head and seemed to ponder for a moment. Then he told the young disciple, “Close the door. We won’t do business today.”

“Yes.”

The young disciple ran to close the door of the clinic and cautiously bolted it, although the bolt was like a white elephant in Wei Ziye’s eyes.

Wei Ziye snorted with disdain. “Can you say it now?”

The old doctor smiled flatteringly. “Sir, to be frank with you, it’s not that I am unwilling to work for you, but this girl is really a disaster. I advise you to throw her away earlier, not to be meddlesome, in case that you get yourself into trouble.”

It seemed to be sincere advice.

Wei Ziye uplifted his brows. “So you know who this girl is?”

The old doctor shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand without a stop. “No, I don’t know. I don’t know anything.”

“Tell me frankly.” Wei Ziye unsheathed the long sword once more.

The old doctor felt cold on his neck at once, so he answered obediently, “This…girl is the only daughter of the supervisor in Jiangzhou, Lord Ye. I have heard that her name is Ye Zhixin.”

“The supervisor’s daughter?” Wei Ziye pondered for a while and found that it was like what Shi Qingxue guessed.

However, there was something wrong.

Wei Ziye stared at the old doctor in disbelief. “If she is really an official’s daughter, why did she faint in the wild with injuries all over her body?”

The old doctor begged for mercy in a hurry. “I don’t dare to cheat you. This is really Lord Ye’s daughter, but…”

“But what? Say it in one breath. Don’t hem and haw.” Wei Ziye didn’t have the patience to beat around the bush with him.

The old doctor explained in a trembling voice, “But Lord Ye isn’t the supervisor in Jiangzhou anymore, so Miss Ye’s position reduced, and she is not a young lady from an official’s family now.”

“Even so, why did you refuse to treat her at the sight of her and say that I would get myself into trouble if I saved her?” Wei Ziye calmly pointed out something wrong in the old doctor’s words.

“Lord Ye irritated all people in the city when he was the supervisor, and they wished to eat his flesh and drink his blood. His family members are like rats and all people want to beat them.

“Under the situation, how dare I treat his daughter arbitrarily? Do you think so?”

The old doctor talked with emotion and reasons, trying to persuade Wei Ziye to give up his plan to get involved.

Especially after seeing that Wei Ziye looked as if lost in thought, he continued, “Sir, I said every word from the bottom of my heart, and I didn’t tell a lie. I’m saying this for your own good. You need to listen to my advice. Let’s find an alley randomly and throw her away. Then it will be none of our business. Do you think that it’s okay?”

Wei Ziye looked distant and responded resolutely, “No.”

The old doctor was speechless.

Wei Ziye didn’t want to listen to this doctor’s bullshit. He pointed to Ye Zhixin and ordered, “Don’t dillydally. Treat her for me. I don’t care what you will do. You have to cure her. Otherwise, believe it or not, I will crush your shop sign.”

The old doctor didn’t dare to doubt him. He was scared by Wei Ziye almost to death and still wanted to stay alive, so he had to bite the bullet and write a prescription, finding medicinal materials for Ye Zhixin.
