Chapter 427: You Talk Like She’s Not My Sister
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shii knew what Liang Yi was asking: Did she have any suspicions about the person behind these sinister activities?
She frowned and replied, “I initially thought it might be Yu Wanqing, but if she’s already hired soone to cause trouble, she wouldn’t bother doing it herself. So, it’s probably not her.”
Glancing at the people inside the room, she added, “Anyway, let’s focus on treating this person first. We can discuss the matter later.”
While the two were talking, Huangfu Lingyao leaned against the door, quietly listening. He was absentmindedly playing with a tree branch he had broken off in the courtyard, looking both silly and bored. He not only overheard their conversation but also contemplated it.
He thought to himself, ‘Seeking revenge and causing trouble. If it’s not revenge, then it’s trouble!’
There were quite a few people who had a grudge against Liu Shii and had the ability to pull off such an act.
But…
Huangfu Lingyao considered another possibility: Could it be competition from within the sa profession? The opening of the Fusheng Pavilion was too grand, and no other dical hall could have opened in such a high-profile manner.
Moreover, the Fusheng Pavilion followed a different path from ordinary clinics, making it easier for others to feel threatened!
Later, he would find an opportunity to slip away and have Li Xin investigate!
Before entering the house, Liu Shii turned to look at her own dog and said, “Lingyao, just stay outside the door and don’t co in, okay?”
A’fu, the leprosy patient, was still in isolation, as were the two hired thugs, San Yuan and Si Xi, as well as Liang Yi. These four individuals were in close contact with the patient.
“Eldest Young Miss Liu, we really don’t know anything. We were just doing it for the money. Please, let us go!”
“Yeah, Eldest Young Miss Liu, if we had known it was this kind of thing, we wouldn’t have dared to do it!”
San Yuan and Si Xi, who had previously been unyielding towards Liang Yi, were now pleading for rcy from Liu Shii.
I thought this woman might be more accommodating, but Liu Shii certainly was not the type to make things easy!
She put on a mask, her expression unchanged, and said, “It’s not a matter of whether I’m willing to let you go now. It’s about… you’ve had contact with leprosy patients. You might have already been infected. Just leaving like this, aren’t you afraid of falling ill?”
San Yuan was skeptical. “Didn’t we take the dicine and have a herbal bath earlier?”
“Yes, you took the dicine and had a herbal bath, but that doesn’t guarantee you won’t get sick,” Liu Shii replied coolly. She added, “Besides, the herbal bathwater you used, you haven’t paid for it yet. You ca to Fusheng Pavilion for trouble, used my herbs, and now you want to leave just like that. Do you think it’s that easy?”
San Yuan and Si Xi exchanged glances in silence.
Liang Yi could not help but chuckle. “Sister, you’re sothing else!”
As a well-behaved family dog, Huangfu Lingyao had been instructed not to get too close to strangers. So he stood obediently outside the door. He glanced at Liang Yi and said, “Ninth Brother, I need to use the restroom. Keep an eye on Wife, don’t let anyone bully her!”
Liang Yi rolled her eyes. “As if she’s not my sister!”
She turned away, not bothering to pay him any more attention.
Since he did not get a friendly response, Huangfu Lingyao let out a disdainful ‘hmph’ and childishly kicked at the air before turning and running off.
Watching his departing figure, Liang Yi sighed and thought to himself, ‘Just like a kid. My sister is going to have a hard ti with him in the future.’
Huangfu Lingyao had said he was going to the restroom, but in reality, he slipped out of Fusheng Pavilion through the back door and wandered through so narrow alleyways.
Once he reached a deserted dead-end, he said, “Find out who’s responsible for today’s incident. I want results within three days.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Li Xin, who had remained invisible, replied before departing.
Huangfu Lingyao returned to Fusheng Pavilion as if nothing had happened.
Upon his return, he was surprised to find an unexpected guest!
