Chapter 427: You Talk Like Shes Not My Sister

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu s.h.i.+mei 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 shes already hired someone to cause trouble, she wouldnt bother doing it herself. So, its probably not her.

Glancing at the people inside the room, she added, Anyway, lets 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 its not revenge, then its trouble!

There were quite a few people who had a grudge against Liu s.h.i.+mei and had the ability to pull off such an act.

But

Huangfu Lingyao considered another possibility: Could it be compet.i.tion from within the same profession? The opening of the Fusheng Pavilion was too grand, and no other medical 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 s.h.i.+mei turned to look at her own dog and said, Lingyao, just stay outside the door and dont come in, okay?

Afu, 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 dont 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 wouldnt have dared to do it!

San Yuan and Si Xi, who had previously been unyielding towards Liang Yi, were now pleading for mercy from Liu s.h.i.+mei.

I thought this woman might be more accommodating, but Liu s.h.i.+mei certainly was not the type to make things easy!

She put on a mask, her expression unchanged, and said, Its not a matter of whether Im willing to let you go now. Its about youve had contact with leprosy patients. You might have already been infected. Just leaving like this, arent you afraid of falling ill?

San Yuan was skeptical. Didnt we take the medicine and have a herbal bath earlier?

Yes, you took the medicine and had a herbal bath, but that doesnt guarantee you wont get sick, Liu s.h.i.+mei replied coolly. She added, Besides, the herbal bathwater you used, you havent paid for it yet. You came to Fusheng Pavilion for trouble, used my herbs, and now you want to leave just like that. Do you think its that easy?

San Yuan and Si Xi exchanged glances in silence.

Liang Yi could not help but chuckle. Sister, youre something 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, dont let anyone bully her!

Liang Yi rolled her eyes. As if shes 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 time 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 some narrow alleyways.

Once he reached a deserted dead-end, he said, Find out whos responsible for todays 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!
