The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space-Chapter 1471: Grand Thoughts (3)

"It’s just that, we’ve used many medicines, but none of them have had an effect." Military Doctor Bao finally sighed, "I don’t know why, but the herbal soups that used to work against epidemics don’t seem to work anymore..."

"Perhaps, it’s not an epidemic at all." Yang Ruxin laughed lightly.

Military Doctor Bao immediately frowned.

But Yang Ruxin did not pay him any more attention. Instead, she walked to the bed and looked at the man she hadn’t seen for three months, now lying there with his eyes closed. Her heart felt a slight ache: "Gu Qingheng, you promised me you would be fine, but look what has happened to you?"

Regrettably, no one answered her.

Li Mingyin, unable to accept this, also wanted to follow into the inner chamber but was stopped by Shadow One, causing her to frown: "Gu Qiao, what are you doing?"

"Miss Li, I had warned you before, my young master got married, and your presence here is inappropriate. But you insisted on staying, and I respected your goodwill. However, now that my young master’s wife is here, do you still think it’s appropriate for you to stay?" Shadow One did not mince his words. Previously, since she was a young lady who had come risking dangers, he refrained from being too harsh. But with Yang Ruxin’s arrival, he felt no need for courtesy.

"You..." Li Mingyin’s face flushed with anger, grateful for the cloth veiling her face, or it would have been unsightly. She was a proud person, blessed with talent and looks, usually admired by others. For Gu Qingheng, she believed she had already humbled herself, even neglecting her own dignity, because she felt that his country bumpkin wife was simply not suitable to be with him. Once he awoke, he would recognize who was more fitting for him. But now... to be pushed away like this, how could she accept it? Yet, she still managed to suppress her anger, although she couldn’t keep her voice down, "You’re just a servant, how dare you speak to me like that?"

But Shadow One maintained his dignity: "I, Gu Qiao, am a servant of my master, not of the Li family. So please, Miss Li, leave and do not disturb my young mistress while she treats the young master..."

"You..." Li Mingyin took a couple of deep breaths and finally suppressed her rage, "I came for Master Gu, and I have taken care of him for many days. Do you expect me to just leave because you say so? Besides, are you certain she can cure Master Gu?"

"If my young mistress can’t cure the young master, then no one in the whole world can," Shadow One said with utmost certainty.

"How boastful..."

"Let me tell you, Miss Li, this is my man. Even if I can’t cure him, it’s my family’s affair. What are you doing here babbling incessantly, what do you really want?" Yang Ruxin sighed as she was about to examine Gu Qingheng and got up to walk to the doorway, "Don’t you think you’re making yourself look rather unsightly?"

"I..." Li Mingyin did not expect Yang Ruxin to speak up, but quickly laughed a little, "I naturally want to accompany Master Gu through this difficult time, after all... we have collaborated before... and besides, Master Gu is responsible for the safety of the Jin City citizens, how can it be as rash as you say?"

Yang Ruxin nodded: "Miss Li’s concern for another woman’s husband is truly admirable."

Military Doctor Bao’s mouth twitched, but he quickly looked down, as this was not the time to lose composure.

Li Mingyin had not expected this woman to be so direct in exposing her intentions, leaving her somewhat embarrassed, but she did not plan to back down: "Your words seem inappropriate. Master Gu is in this state for the sake of Jin City’s citizens, and my father is the Guard of Yong City. Is it not right for me to take care of him?"
