It was all a trap she had ticulously set up...
And he had been ensnared in it for a long ti!
A shiver of cold dread surged from the depths of his heart, and his body, exhausted from the night before, staggered, ready to fall, while his head throbbed as though it were about to split in two. Cui Min’s eyes were wide open, the bloodshot whites terrifying, making his usually gentle face seem sowhat ferocious.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
"You intentionally left a problematic prescription to lure into your trap, predicting today’s events!"
He suddenly realized.
Why Qi Yutai’s illness, which had almost healed, relapsed so suddenly. Why the symptoms that never appeared before were all erging now. He couldn’t find a clue, nor could he find a direction for treatnt, simply because all of this was a trap left by Lu Tong.
He had been duped!
Miao Liangfang frowned, "What are you talking about?"
But Lu Tong walked a few steps forward from behind Miao Liangfang, looking at him with a wry smile.
"Does it matter whether it was intentional or not? To take what belongs to another as one’s own, sooner or later one must pay the price."
Her dark and shining eyes stared at Cui Min, filled with seemingly endless sarcasm.
"Envoy Cui, even if there were problems with the prescription on the spring exam paper, even if I made a mistake in the ingredients in your pharmacy, if you had not harbored covetous thoughts, or even if you had just ntioned my na in passing while doing this, you would not have ended up in such a passive situation today."
"All these years, still resorting to the sa trick. It seems—"
"You are not only despicable but also foolish."
Calm words, yet they struck like muffled thunder, pounding heavily into Cui Min’s heart.
He almost staggered.
Standing inside the shop, his forr friend, he didn’t know how much Miao Liangfang truly knew, or if he was the mastermind behind all this. However, instinctively not wanting to lose face in front of Miao Liangfang, Cui Min gritted his teeth, looked at Lu Tong, and lowered his voice, "Lu Tong, to go against , to avenge the past, you dare to lay hands on the Grand Preceptor’s young master, you’re finished, and he can’t escape either."
Lu Tong and Miao Liangfang were here for him, yet they used Qi Yutai as a pawn in their ga, the only legitimate heir of the Grand Preceptor’s Mansion!
Played like a fiddle by a lowly commoner, how can the Qi Family let this go easily?
"The Qi Family will never let you off..."
"You are courting death!"
"What does this have to do with ?" Lu Tong said in surprise, "The prescription was personally developed by Envoy Cui, and this was a fact established in front of the dical Officer Institute and all the dical officers when you were suspended."
She smiled, "As the head of the dical Officer Institute, you surely can’t just shift the bla onto others the mont there’s a problem."
Cui Min felt oppressed.
All the dical officers who had witnessed it at the ti were now witnesses.
She had already calculated everything!
Anger reaching its peak, Cui Min beca calm instead and spoke to Lu Tong with a voice that couldn’t help but soften a bit.
"Lu Tong, what do I need to do for you to correct the mistakes in the prescription?"
He had no other way out; if Qi Yutai didn’t regain consciousness before the ceremony, the Qi Family would threaten his wife and child...
The woman tilted her head, looking at him as if considering seriously.
A mont later, she nodded, her voice crisp, "As long as Envoy Cui now confesses to the world that the ’Cui’s Pharmacology’ you wrote years ago was stolen from the forr Envoy’s dical notes, ’Miao’s Prescriptions’, and you admit to the cri of framing the forr Vice Director, telling everyone in Da Liang that you’re but a fa-seeking fraudster..."
"I will let you off."
As soon as she spoke, Miao Liangfang’s expression changed, showing no delight.
But Cui Min’s face turned ashen.
She was indeed here for the affair concerning Miao Liangfang!
"Impossible," Cui Min said decisively, refusing, while a sense of absurdity rose within him.
This woman was very young, calm and collected in the face of trouble. He used to think she was the background-less Ji Xun, or perhaps Miao Liang, who understood the tis better, but now it seed she was different from both of them.
Cui Min had been in the dical Officer Institute for twenty years, from a small pharmacy assistant to the current Envoy. He was no longer the lowly, poor man bullied by everyone. He prided himself on understanding people’s desires like the back of his hand, especially those powerless and ordinary people, but he simply couldn’t see through Lu Tong.
To call her noble, yet she wavered and entangled herself between Pei Yun and Ji Xun; to call her greedy, yet she dared to oppose the Grand Preceptor’s Mansion beyond her abilities.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
He held on forcibly, not allowing himself to be completely defeated in front of her, trying to stop her reckless, almost self-destructive revenge.
"Qi Yutai’s illness, no one in Shengjing knows about it." He gasped slightly, "Now that you know his secret, do you think you can live?"
