Bao Yunhong deliberately exaggerated her tone, “Wow, the little kid has really grown up.”

As more and more people began looking their way, Bao Linjiang stood up and pulled Bao Yunhong inside the county office, a scene Rong Shiyu happened to witness.

Rong Shiyu’s expression darkened as she glared at the entrance of the county office. She crumpled the paper in her hand.

Fan Yuru, noticing Rong Shiyu’s reaction, ca over to tease, “That girl clearly has an old acquaintance with Bao Linjiang, and they seem quite close. Hmm, what could their relationship be?

Rong Shiyu glared at Fan Yuru, “What’s it to what their relationship is!” She turned and walked away.

Fan Yuru teased after Rong Shiyu’s retreating figure, “So people just love to deceive themselves.”

Rong Shiyu did not stop walking, but her heart felt like sothing was stuck in her chest. She felt extrely uncomfortable.

What was that girl’s relationship with Bao Linjiang?

Fan Yuru couldn’t help but smile, watching Rong Shiyu leave. Was she feeling jealous?

Yuan Hongjun stepped out of the county office and saw Fan Yuru smiling. He thought to himself that Fan Yuru looked quite attractive when she smiled.

He approached Fan Yuru, “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing much, let’s get back to seeing patients, shall we?” Fan Yuru imdiately composed herself and moved aside. Just yesterday, a girl had brought Yuan Hongjun pastries, and she wasn’t pleased about it either.

Yuan Hongjun didn’t know what to say.

He sighed inwardly, noting how the moods of young won could be as unpredictable as the weather in June.

In the county office, Bao Linjiang brought Bao Yunhong to a room and pressed her to her seat. He asked seriously, “What are you doing in Tongzi County?”

Bao Yunhong’s pretended cheerfulness faded, and after a mont of silence, she said sadly, “Bingyi has contracted a strange illness. When it flares up, it’s terrifying. His face distorts, and he becos extrely afraid of water and wind. He panics at the sound of water. We’ve seen all the doctors in the capital, but no one can cure him…”

Wu Bingyi was Bao Yunhong’s fiance.

Tears welled up in Bao Yunhong’s eyes as she looked at Bao Linjiang, “I’ve co specifically to ask you to treat Bingyi. Cousin said you’re a skilled doctor; you must find a way.”

Bao Linjiang beca solemn, “Where is he now?”

Bao Yunhong replied, “He’s at the inn. I brought him with . Otherwise, it would take up a lot of ti going back and forth.”

Bao Linjiang said, “Let’s go, I’ll see him right away.”

After leaving, Bao Linjiang called Yuan Hongjun to accompany him to the inn.

A disease that even their grandfather couldn’t cure was no simple matter.

At the inn.

After taking Wu Bingyi’s pulse, Bao Linjiang’s expression grew grave.

He couldn’t determine the illness.

Yuan Hongjun stepped forward to take Wu Bingyi’s pulse, finding it complex and strange, reminiscent of a case he encountered during his travels.

That person had suddenly fallen ill and died on the eighth day after Yuan Hongjun t him, despite his treatnt. To this day, he hadn’t figured out the cause.

Seeing the grim expressions on both doctors’ faces, Bao Yunhong asked, “Divine Doctor, your dical skills surpass those of many imperial physicians. Do you not know what this disease is?”

Yuan Hongjun shook his head helplessly, “I’m sorry, I really can’t tell. But don’t worry, I’ll write to my master right away and ask about this disease.”

Bao Yunhong urged, “Then hurry up and ask. Bingyi’s illness can’t wait.”

“I’ll write it.” Bao Linjiang fetched paper and pen, described the pulse and symptoms, and summoned an eagle with a whistle to send the letter to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi was busy preparing anesthetics and disinfectants for surgery. She had planned to start surgeries early in the morning but found so dicines were missing upon arriving at the military camp.

She was too occupied to imdiately read the letter, and by the ti she did, half an hour had passed.

At the inn, while waiting, Yuan Hongjun ntioned, “If my master hasn’t replied, it ans she’s busy.”

“What should we do?” Bao Yunhong asked worriedly.

Bao Linjiang suggested, “Let’s bring him to see the master directly.”

Yuan Hongjun agreed, “Okay.”

They prepared and took Wu Bingyi to the military camp.

Upon learning that Bao Linjiang had left with Bao Yunhong, Rong Shiyu’s jealousy worsened. She stord off from the free clinic area, and no one knew where she went.

At the county office of Shuiyun County.

Tao Zhenfeng, still upset about being hit by Chu Qingzhi, couldn’t take it lying down and decided to lodge a complaint with the magistrate.

Upon arriving, he encountered Chu Xujin, who was heading out with two constables to address a dispute among the townspeople.

Tao Zhenfeng stopped Chu Xujin, sizing him up disdainfully, “Are you Chu Qingzhi’s third brother?”

Chu Xujin, unfamiliar with Tao Zhenfeng, responded politely yet firmly, “May I ask what brings this gentleman to the county office?”

Tao Zhenfeng felt that it was an insult to him that Chu Xujin did not know him. He said in an unfriendly tone, “You don’t know ?”

Chu Xujin thought to himself, “Are you supposed to be known by everyone?” But he patiently asked, “May I know your esteed na?”

Tao Zhenfeng pointed upwards then at himself, “Take a good look. I’m the magistrate’s nephew, Tao Zhenfeng.”

Chu Xujin thought to himself, So what? You are not the county magistrate. He said, “Greetings, Young Master Tao. May I know why Young Master Tao is here in the county office?”

“For what?” Tao Zhenfeng scoffed, “Do you know your sister beat up? I’m here to file a complaint!”

Chu Xujin looked at Tao Zhenfeng. He indeed looked like he needed a beating. His fifth sister had hit him well. He smiled apologetically and asked, “Young Master Tao, why did my fifth sister hit you?”

Annoyed, Tao Zhenfeng retorted, “Do I need to tell you? Chu Xujin, stop grinning. I’m going to file a complaint against Chu Qingzhi.”

Chu Xujin advised, “Young Master Tao, if you make this public, my sister won’t suffer any consequences. Instead, you’ll be the one laughed at. Everyone will know you were beaten by a girl.”

Tao Zhenfeng frowned, “What do you an?”

“Think about it,” Chu Xujin analyzed. “With my fifth sister’s status, even if she hits you, the county magistrate won’t be able to do anything to her. However, the news of you being beaten will spread throughout the city. At that ti, won’t everyone know that you were beaten by a girl?” He patted his face. “At that ti, where will Young Master Tao’s face be?”

“Besides, if you complain about such a small matter, will the county magistrate think that you’re incompetent and childish and look down on you? Will he lose his trust in you?”

That seed to make sense. Tao Zhenfeng cald down a little. Chu Qingzhi’s identity was indeed terrifying, and his uncle’s trust was more important. “Then let’s forget about this matter?”

Chu Xujin tentatively offered, “How about I apologize on behalf of my sister, and we put this matter to rest?”
