“I asked Stone Guard, and he said he’s absolutely certain,” the eunuch said.
“Oh? Haha, interesting.” Xi Zhaoting paced in the hall, growing delighted.
“Your Highness, should we send someone…” the servant hesitated.
“Send whom? It’s just a misunderstanding. I was just frustrated that we didn’t determine a clear winner last time, and I want to compete again,” Xi Zhaoting said.
“Your Highness, if the Empress Dowager and the King were to know…”
“Deng Ping, I believe you won’t let them know about this, right?” He glared, and the eunuch fell silent, feeling bitter.
At the medical clinic, another day began. Wei Lindong finished placing needles for Young Master Jing and then retreated to the back. Recently, she felt an invisible pair of eyes watching her, making her uncomfortable. Through the curtain, Young Master Jing and Miss Niao whispered and glanced her way. Wei Lindong wondered if he had discovered her identity and sent someone to watch her. Did he really think she was responsible for the closure of his family’s medicine shop?
If they kept watching her, her identity would surely be discovered… Alas, why was the world so small?
After a while, Niao called her. Wei Lindong thought something was wrong and followed her out.
To her surprise, Young Master Jing narrowed his long eyes and curved his thin lips, saying, “I have something today, so can we remove the needles earlier?” Wei Lindong was startled but nodded, gently removing the needles. Focused on her task, she didn’t see Young Master Jing’s gaze fixed on her hands. After she finished, Wei Lindong turned to pack her needle bag while Niao helped Young Master Jing put on his socks and boots.
“Doctor Xia, I’ll come again tomorrow,” Young Master Jing said.
“Okay,” Wei Lindong replied. The fat doctor approached, reminding him not to forget his medication, showing more enthusiasm than for other patients. After Young Master Jing left, the fat doctor said regretfully, “If only I were ten years younger. This young master of the Jing family is truly handsome and well-mannered.”
Wei Lindong smiled, “Perhaps Young Master Jing wouldn’t mind marrying an older wife, hehe.”
“You little monkey, you’ve been here for a few days and already dare to tease me,” the fat doctor scolded playfully.
