Capítulo 2087: Chapter 2084: Poison Tongue

“How much silver will it cost? At least dozens of taels, and it won’t even last a few times.”

As they were about to reach the resting room, Li Mingde mustered the courage to speak to Lu Chuan, “Steward Lu, if the material costs too much…”

“Don’t worry, Master Li. As long as you’re not deliberately wasting it, there’s no problem. Just do as you please.”

“…Alright.” Li Mingde couldn’t say much more.

Since the hosts themselves weren’t afraid of wastage, and though such hosts were rare, the world is full of surprises. He voiced all his concerns, and since they didn’t mind, he might as well just work diligently.

Ye Muyu went to the medical clinic quite early.

And happened to see Lu Sangqi.

This time, however, Lu Sangqi wasn’t reading books in the backyard but was diagnosing patients at the front shop.

The patient he was attending to was a rather cold and proud woman, dressed in a simple white dress, with a rather serious wound on her face.

Lu Sangqi was applying medicine on her wound.

Even though it was quite painful, the woman didn’t utter a word, only the cold sweat on her forehead indicating the pain, showing her strong endurance.

What caught Ye Muyu’s attention was overhearing Lu Sangqi’s sharp-tongued words as she passed by the screen.

“Aren’t you supposed to be impressive? The woman threw a porcelain bottle at you, and you couldn’t even dodge?” Lu Sangqi’s words were unpleasant, anyone hearing them wouldn’t be happy.

But Ye Muyu, who was familiar with him, could tell that he was actually concerned about the woman, although Lu Sangqi had a habit of saying one thing and meaning another, which was quite infuriating.

As expected, the woman coldly replied, “If Doctor Lu has nothing else, you can go about your business.”

Clearly implying that he should leave.

Lu Sangqi was amused and angry, “You’re my patient, so I care. Do you think I’m always available?”

Then Ye Muyu saw through the screen that the woman stood up, clearly intending to leave.

Lu Sangqi was taken aback, not expecting her to leave directly, and was quite upset, “Do you not want the medicine? What use is it to argue with me? If you have the guts, deal with the real culprit.”

“It’s none of Doctor Lu’s business.” The woman was clearly cool and hard to bully.

The two immediately began to argue.

Of course, it was mostly Lu Sangqi talking, while the woman treated him with indifference.

Seeing them leave, with Lu Sangqi chasing after her, their voices gradually faded away.

To Ye Muyu, it seemed like a scene straight from one of those classic romantic drama scenarios, causing the corner of her mouth to twitch involuntarily.

She looked up to see the shopkeeper behind the counter, looking unfazed and doing the accounts, greeting her warmly when he saw her.

“What was that about?” Ye Muyu casually asked.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly and whispered, “I’m not at liberty to discuss the young master’s affairs, but that young lady got her face cut by porcelain. If it’s not properly cared for, it might scar.”

“The young lady knows the young master. If you’d like to know more details, you’ll have to ask him.”

He had pretty much said everything he could.

From this information, Ye Muyu quickly deduced what was useful to her.

The young lady might be one of the candidates Lu Sangqi mentioned for marriage, and her background could be from the Huo family, where the Elder Princess married into.

As for which exact branch, she wasn’t sure.

Judging by Lu Sangqi’s demeanor, he was clearly concerned about her.
