Chapter 82: Trouble Beckons

“Doctor, has the poison in my son been completely removed?”

“Almost. But he needs to take a few more doses of medicine to clear out the remaining toxins and replenish his body. He’s been weakened for the past two years, and if he doesn’t properly nourish himself, it will affect his lifespan.”

“Then please, Doctor, write a prescription.”

Yunzhi nodded and wrote a prescription for Qin Zhiye, one that would both remove the remaining poison and restore his health.

After writing the prescription, Yunzhi gave some instructions.

“Doctor, this is a small token of our gratitude, please accept it.” The Duchess of Qin presented a box, already prepared, to Yunzhi.

Looking at the box, Yunzhi didn’t refuse. Though they had paid a portion of the fee during the appointment, the consultation fee was still due.

After accepting the money, Yunzhi gathered her things and prepared to leave. The Duke of Qin personally escorted her to the front gate, saying, “Thank you, Doctor.”

“You’re welcome, saving lives is my duty as a physician.” Yunzhi smiled and left with her medicine box.

Rulan, who was waiting outside with the carriage, greeted her mistress as soon as she saw her come out.

Upon entering the carriage, Yunzhi said to Rulan, “Don’t go back to the Shadow Building yet, let’s find a place to eat first.”

“Yes, Miss!” Rulan nodded and drove the carriage towards the main street.

However, as soon as their carriage left, someone emerged from the shadows and quietly followed behind.

Yunzhi lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and saw the person following them, a cold smile forming on her lips. It seemed she had attracted trouble.

But it was no problem, as long as they dared to come, she would make sure they wouldn’t return.

“Miss, someone is following us?” Rulan also noticed the person following them and asked in confusion, “Could it be someone from the Duke of Qin’s residence?”

“You’re right.”

“Why? Could it be that someone doesn’t want the Young Master of Qin to recover?” Rulan wasn’t stupid, she immediately guessed the key point.

“Most likely.” Yunzhi smiled, feeling a little sympathy for Qin Zhiye. Being born into a noble family, he had enjoyed a life of luxury since childhood, but also faced endless power struggles.

If he hadn’t met her, his life would have been lost.

“It’s so scary!” Rulan sighed. She had grown up with Yunzhi in the Xu family in Jiangnan and the Valley of Medicine Kings. Both places had many members, but neither the Xu family nor the Valley of Medicine Kings had ever experienced such a thing. Everyone was united and harmonious.

“This is just the beginning, there are even scarier things to come.” Yunzhi chuckled. Throughout history, there were countless instances of husbands turning against wives and brothers against brothers.

“Okay, I guess I’m just inexperienced.”

The mistress and maid chatted as they headed towards the restaurant. It didn’t take long before they reached their destination.

The person following them saw the carriage stop and waited for a while, until they were certain the two had entered the restaurant, before leaving to report to their master.

Yunzhi and Rulan entered the restaurant and found a table to sit down for their meal. As they were halfway through their meal, a gust of wind came rushing towards them. The mistress and maid’s faces changed, and they slightly tilted their heads to avoid it.

With a thud, a dart landed on their table, with a note attached to it.

Rulan looked at the note, which only had one line of words: “Mind your own business, or you’ll pay with your life.”

“Miss, look!” Rulan took the note and handed it to Yunzhi, saying, “This person is so arrogant!”
