Chapter 428: Not the Kind of Unwelco That a Child Would Feel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Liu Shii examined A’fu’s pulse once more and successfully completed the second round of acupuncture treatnt, she knew she could not go anywhere as the source of the infection. So, she decided to sit in the room and wait.
While waiting for the needles to be removed, Shu Jun arrived at the door. “Master, the dicine Lord has personally brought a congratulatory gift!” “dicine Lord?” Liu Shii was taken aback. Although she had arranged a trade with Mu Jiangli after their conversation, it was just a deal involving so rare dicinal herbs for her dical hall. There hadn’t been any further interaction.
Yet, soone of his status coming to personally congratulate her on her new dical hall was quite an honor!
“Have Xu Xian set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, prepare so tea for our guest. Ask Lord Mu to wait for a mont.”
It wasn’t that Liu Shii did not value this guest, but she was currently under quarantine. If soone wanted to et her, they would have to undergo disinfection. Furthermore, she should avoid unnecessary movent to prevent spreading the infection to others.
If it weren’t for Mu Jiangli insisting on seeing her, she would not have agreed to et this guest.
Well, it seed she needed to prioritize developing disinfectants using alcohol and sterilizing solutions!
When Liu Shii erged, roughly cleaned up and in a fresh set of clothes, Huangfu Lingyao had already returned.
Hearing that Mu Jiangli had arrived, he hurried to the courtyard.
“Why did you co?”
His face still wore that childish expression, and his tone sounded like that of a child. However, Mu Jiangli knew: His unwelconess was not the kind a child expresses when they’re upset.
Tables and chairs were set up in the courtyard, along with refreshnts. Mu Jiangli sat in a chair, his usual silver mask on his face. He set down his tea cup and said, “Of course, I’m here to contribute to Shii’s dical hall.”
He gave Huangfu Lingyao a aningful look, as if saying: You were the one who initially approached to cooperate with Liu Shii, asking to support her on this path. So, isn’t it natural for to co?
Huangfu Lingyao’s heart sank, and he had nothing to say.
He was irritated that Mu Jiangli addressed his wife by na, but for now, he could not afford to pick a fight with Mu Jiangli.
After a while, Liu Shii approached.
Huangfu Lingyao instinctively reached out to hold her hand, but she withdrew it, saying, “Lingyao, until I’m sure I’m not infected, let’s avoid any physical contact.”
“What happened?” Mu Jiangli had just co out of the Thousand Butterfly Valley and was unaware of what had transpired here.
Liu Shii gave him a courteous nod from a distance but didn’t approach. She explained, “I received a leprosy patient, and they also have advanced liver disease. I had direct contact with this patient, so to minimize the risk of spreading leprosy to others, I should quarantine myself.”
She looked apologetic and added, “So, Lord Mu, I can’t stay here much longer. I apologize.”
“Leprosy?” Mu Jiangli’s expression changed slightly.
He wore a mask, so his expression was hidden, but the change in his deanor revealed his concern. “Eldest Miss Liu, even though you are a physician, as the owner of the Fusheng Pavilion, you don’t need to personally handle everything.”
“I ca for the opportunity to make a na for myself. I seized it,” Liu Shii said candidly.
Mu Jiangli understood. “It seems you’re confident.”
Then he furrowed his brow. “But this is still too risky.”
Liu Shii smiled and said, “In a way, it’s a matter of saving a life.”
“Have you thought about who might be behind this?” Mu Jiangli asked.
Liu Shii fell silent..
