Ye Xinguang said to the driver, "Driver Wang, find a mall nearby. Let’s go for a walk, and then return to the Lin Family..."
However, at this mont, Si Mingjing received a call from an unknown number.
A steady, unfamiliar male voice ca through the phone.
"Miss Si, I’ll give you an address. Go and pick up Sheng Liangliang now."
"Who are you?"
"Si Lisao," the man’s voice was steady and gentle.
Crown Prince Lisao from Mu Continent?
"How did you get my phone number?"
"Is it that difficult?" A light laugh ca from the other end of the line. As if to say, what a silly question you’ve asked.
Indeed, it wouldn’t be difficult for a Crown Prince to obtain her phone number, so Si Mingjing didn’t dwell on it.
She asked, "Why do I need to pick up Liangliang?"
"Wasn’t it you who helped Mo Yinhe win custody of the child? In that case, Mu Continent will naturally hand the child over to you. Who else, Mo Yinhe included, is worthy enough for , Si Lisao, to entrust the child to?"
Si Lisao’s voice was deep, smooth, and magnetic, with a barely detectable hint of doting. He was, however, extrely arrogant.
Si Mingjing’s lips twitched slightly, but she didn’t refuse. "Then please send the address."
Si Lisao hung up, and soon, an address arrived on her mobile phone via text ssage.
After reading the address, Si Mingjing said to Ye Xinguang, "Auntie, Crown Prince Lisao of Mu Continent called. He wants to pick up Liangliang at this address."
Ye Xinguang’s voice trembled with excitent. "Is it my precious granddaughter? Then we won’t go to the Lin Family! Picking up Liangliang is more important. Hurry! Let’s go!"
「anwhile, at the Lin Family.」
Not long after Si Mingjing left, Lin Hanfeng, Mrs. Lin’s husband, invited Scholar Li from the Traditional dicine Research Institute to their ho to examine his mother.
"Mom, this is Scholar Li from the Traditional dicine Research Institute; he’s highly skilled in dicine. Your condition hasn’t improved with Western dicine, so I’ve asked a practitioner of Traditional Chinese dicine to take a look. Traditional dicine is often better for chronic conditions. Let Scholar Li take your pulse."
Lin Xiansi had been keeping Old Mrs. Lin company.
Seeing the esteed Scholar Li, Lin Xiansi smiled and said, "Uncle, you and Auntie really think alike. This morning, Auntie also found a famous traditional physician for Grandma, claiming that one dose would reduce Grandma’s facial swelling and three doses would cure her. She said he’s practically a Divine Doctor."
Lin Xiansi was at it again with her backhanded complints!
Ha! Heaven must be on my side. I was going to wait until tomorrow morning to buy trending spots and mobilize an online mob, but with Scholar Li here, Si Mingjing’s ridiculous claims can be debunked imdiately!
Lin Hanfeng was sowhat surprised. "Oh, really? Who was it?"
Lin Xiansi boasted, "It’s that Si Mingjing, the one who just returned to Earth—the so-called ’Divine Doctor of Cancer Light’!"
Scholar Li said, "It seems soone has already examined Old Mrs. Lin. Miss Si is quite skilled in dicine. There’s a principle that one illness shouldn’t trouble two doctors. Since she has already seen Old Mrs. Lin, there’s no need for to examine her as well."
Lin Xiansi frowned slightly. Scholar Li, how can you praise soone else like that and diminish your own prestige?
"Scholar Li, would you please examine my grandmother anyway? Miss Si made so bold claims, but my grandmother still feels uneasy."
Old Mrs. Lin indeed felt uneasy.
Si Mingjing was too young.
She glanced at Lin Xiansi appreciatively, comforted by the thought that the girl genuinely cared for her.
Lin Hanfeng also said, "Scholar Li, since you’re already here, please examine my mother."
"Very well."
Scholar Li sat down to take Old Mrs. Lin’s pulse and then asked her, "How did Miss Si diagnose her condition, and what prescription did she provide?"
Old Mrs. Lin’s explanation was muddled, so she had the butler fetch the prescription for Scholar Li.
"That young woman claid one dose of her dicine would make 90% better. I wonder if it’s true."
Lin Xiansi, standing by, beca excited! She thought Scholar Li was about to expose Si Mingjing’s bluff!
Scholar Li looked at the prescription.
Rehmannia 60g, Achyranthes bidentata 6g, roasted licorice 3g. Alisma 4.5g. Cinnamon 3g (to be taken as powder with water), processed aconite root 6g.
Scholar Li smiled with appreciation. "Excellent, excellent! There’s nothing wrong with this prescription. Old Mrs. Lin, you can take it with confidence. How long ago did you take the first dose?"
Old Mrs. Lin said, "About three hours ago."
Scholar Li said, "Then, in about another hour, your facial swelling should subside. That young woman must be well-read in dical texts. Despite growing up on Prison Star, her dical skills are undeniably impressive. A true talent, indeed!"
Old Mrs. Lin instantly beca excited. "After taking the dicine, I truly felt much better, but I wondered if it was rely a psychological effect. That young woman said I have a yin deficiency and she needed to tonify my yang. She also ntioned this is the ’leading the fire back to its source’ thod of dication."
Holding the prescription, Scholar Li said, "That young woman was absolutely correct. Old Mrs. Lin, your primary symptoms are yin deficiency with yang floating upwards, resulting in heat in the upper body and cold in the lower. The ’returning fire to its source’ thod is indeed the best treatnt! Rest assured, after three doses, you will undoubtedly recover."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Lin’s heart instantly settled.
Lin Xiansi, however, gasped in disbelief. "Scholar Li, could you be mistaken? How can there be such a miraculous prescription? Effective after only three doses?"
The shock on her face was palpable, a stark contrast to the unwavering confidence she had feigned earlier regarding Si Mingjing’s prescription.
Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Xiansi, puzzled.
Scholar Li said, "There is no mistake. Chronic pharyngitis is a common ailnt prone to recurrent attacks. Western dicine often uses antibiotics for treatnt, which can produce side effects harmful to health. Traditional Chinese dicine offers a remarkable therapy called ’returning fire to its source,’ which can fundantally treat chronic pharyngitis with just three doses. This prescription is called ’Stabilizing Yin Decoction,’ and it was created by Mr. Zhang Jingyue in the fifty-first volu of ’Jingyue Complete Works.’"
Lin Xiansi was deeply disappointed. So the prescription really is that miraculous! How can I discredit Si Mingjing now?
An idea struck her!
Lin Xiansi said scornfully, "So, it wasn’t an original formula by Si Mingjing after all! I thought she was so brilliant. Turns out, she just plagiarized a prescription from Zhang Jingyue! How shaless! We should inform Zhang Jingyue and have him sue her!"
Scholar Li looked at Lin Xiansi with furrowed brows. Is this young lady of the Lin family trying to be funny? Mr. Zhang Jingyue was a renowned dical master from four hundred years ago! His writings are required reading in colleges of Traditional Chinese dicine. Si Mingjing studied dical texts thoroughly and applied what she learned. How is that plagiarism? Doesn’t every dical student diligently study these texts, internalize the knowledge, and use it to treat patients and save lives? Even I do so! The sa applies to Western dicine; practitioners apply established knowledge! What Lin Xiansi said is tantamount to accusing the entire dical field of plagiarizing the work of its predecessors! This is not only an insult to Si Mingjing but to the entire dical profession!
Scholar Li’s expression turned stern. "Miss Lin! Please choose your words carefully! Mr. Zhang Jingyue was a great dical master from over four hundred years ago. Using the dical formulas he bequeathed to heal the sick and save lives—how is that plagiarism? If you learn ancient poetry and then quote verses, are you plagiarizing the ancient poets? A mont ago, you were praising Si Mingjing as a Divine Doctor, and now you accuse her of plagiarism. Why such a rapid change in attitude? Were your earlier complints insincere? Were you rely waiting for to expose her?"
