Chapter 460: Chapter 167 Qi Huaying_4

The person who had been sent to gather information returned and reported that the female dical officer who traveled with Pei Yunng was Lu Tong.

Qi Yutai was also greatly surprised when he heard this na.

He rembered Lu Tong; Jin Xianrong’s inability to perform in the bedchamber had spread among the officials, and the dical Officer Institute had changed a few dical officers without success, yet it was under the care of a female doctor that he slowly began to recover. He had seen Lu Tong the last ti he had a nightmare at the Board of Rites Office, and she even took his pulse for him.

To be fair, that female doctor was quite attractive, possessing a kind of cold elegance starkly different from the ladies of Shengjing. Qi Yutai had almost entertained so thoughts at that ti, but after all, she was just a servant, and his father had been especially strict lately, so in the end, he quelled those ideas.

Now that he learned this female doctor was the very culprit who had caused his sister’s heartache, his anger was uncontrollable.

"Sister," Qi Yutai looked at Qi Huaying’s slightly emaciated face with concern and said, "What is she after all? Just a lowly commoner, not even fit to be your servant, and yet she dares to upset you."

"Brother will vent for you. Tomorrow, I’ll make her suffer and let her know the hefty price for offending our Grand Preceptor’s Mansion’s precious jewel!"

Qi Huaying was startled, "Brother, you mustn’t!"

"Sister, I am venting for you," Qi Yutai replied, puzzled.

Qi Huaying was well aware that, although her brother appeared polite and respectful on the surface, he had been impulsive since he was young. Normally his behavior was restrained by their father and the steward, and he could still manage to not show it in public. However, when alone and unchecked, he always couldn’t help but act rashly, which was even more botherso.

She said, "Brother, you are also a man. Since Marshal Pei is infatuated with that female doctor, and they are in the throes of passion, if you were to act, wouldn’t you be creating an enemy?"

Qi Yutai said with contempt, "Make an enemy over a lowly commoner?"

Seeing Qi Huaying’s disapproving look, Qi Yutai sneered, "I’ll have it dealt with cleanly, nobody will know it was done by the Qi Family."

Qi Huaying could only shake her head, "Father has said the thods of the Palace Front Office are not to be underestimated...and even if he doesn’t know it’s you, if that female doctor really has an accident, it would instead beco a lasting regret in his heart, sothing he can never forget."

"The most important thing is..."

Qi Huaying lowered her eyes, "I have decided to give him up."

"Sister?"

"Since he has soone else in his heart, why should I make a fool of myself? Besides, with my status, it would be beneath

to compete with a re commoner. Brother, don’t try to persuade , nor do you need to take any further actions. Father said there are many watching the Grand Preceptor’s Mansion lately, and Father’s birthday is coming up soon too. At this juncture, let’s not create any problems and add to Father’s worries," she said.

Although she still looked dejected, her tone was very determined. When Qi Yutai heard her ntion their father, he felt exasperated. This sister of his was smarter than him and also more attractive. She was also dignified and proper in her dealings with others. The only flaw she had was that when she lectured him, she was just like their father, which was sowhat intimidating.

He coughed lightly, not daring to continue the topic. Just as he was about to stand up to leave, his glance swept over the desk drawer, and he suddenly rembered sothing. His eyes narrowed, and he sat back down, looking at Qi Huaying and said softly, "Sister, last ti I ntioned borrowing so silver from you..."

Qi Huaying sighed, summoned a maid, took out a thick stack of silver notes from the drawer and handed them to him, "Don’t let Father know."

"Understood, understood," Qi Yutai took the silver notes with glee, smiled as he got to his feet, and said, "You always treat

the best, Sister."

"Pei Yunng that ingrate, he doesn’t deserve my sister," he said, "Wait and see, in a few days when Xia Miao is here, I will go to the hunting grounds and have soone catch a snow-white little fox for you. Keep it for fun, don’t be unhappy."

Qi Huaying shook her head and only reminded him as she watched his retreating figure, "Brother, now that you have the silver, don’t take that dicine powder anymore."

"Of course, of course."

Qi Yutai agreed heartily, smiling as he walked out of the room.
