Chapter 621: Do As You See Fit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A guard respectfully reported, “Fifth Miss, the eldest son of the Minister of

Rites, Young Master Kong Guang, has arrived.”

He reported this with a lot of surprise in his heart. It seemed like anyone who came to see Fifth Miss had a high social status, which completely exceeded his expectations!

Chu Qingzhi said, “Please bring him into the guest hall; 1 will be there shortly.”

“Yes.”

In the guest hall.

Guided by the maid, Kong Guang arrived in the guest hall and sat down in a chair, showing a slight expression of joy and excitement on his face.

As soon as Chu Qingzhi entered the guest hall, he stood up and expressed his gratitude, “Miss Qingzhi, thank you for saving my wife and our two children. I was too caught up in my happiness earlier and didn’t get a chance to thank you. 1 came here today to personally express my gratitude.”

Chu Qingzhi had a favorable impression of Kong Guang. He didn’t seem like the type of person who only cared about continuing his family line without regard for his wife’s well-being, which was rare in this era.

“Saving your wife and children is what a doctor should do, Young Master, no need to be so polite.”

Kong Guang turned and took a box from the servant’s hand, handing it to Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Qingzhi, 1 cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. This is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it.”

The maid took the box from Kong Guang’s hand and stepped aside.

“Young Master, there’s no need for such formality.”

Kong Guang cupped his hands. “Miss Qingzhi, you must be busy. 1 won’t waste your time.”

Chu Qingzhi gestured to the butler, “Escort Young Master out.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi and the maid returned to her courtyard together. After the maid placed the box down, she left on her own accord.

Chu Qingzhi opened the box and smiled slightly. Everyone was quite practical. Inside the box were one thousand taels of silver, a large piece of deer antler, and a box of Sumu, both of which were precious medicinal materials.

She closed the box and put the items away.

In the General’s Mansion.

After Tang Jinghong returned to the mansion, he called for Wen Shaoyuan.

“Arrange for those who currently have no tasks to search for Snow Lotus. It doesn’t have to be limited to the territory of the Daling Dynasty. Once it’s found, have it immediately delivered to Qingzhi. Whoever finds it will be rewarded with one thousand two taels of silver.”

“Yes, General.”

In the free medical clinic area.

The free medical clinic in the capital was located near the government office. Those who had participated in the free clinic before were all dedicated and had successfully treated many people.

Yuan Hongjun raised his head and looked at the street in front of him. Fan Yuru didn’t come to the clinic yesterday. Why didn’t she come today too?

When Bao Linjiang saw this scene, he naturally wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to tease him. He walked over and gently bumped Yuan Hongjun’s shoulder. He teased, “What are you looking at? Your lover?”

Yuan Hongjun glared at Bao Linjiang. “What does it have to do with you? There are so many patients. Why don’t you go and treat them? Instead you come and ask for a beating!”

Bao Linjiang chuckled, “1 know what you’re looking at. It’s Fang Yuru, right? Why are you hiding? It’s not like it’s something scandalous!”

Yuan Hongjun frowned. “Little Abalone, is your skin itching?”

Bao Linjiang quickly stepped back, pretending to be in a fighting stance, “A gentleman uses his mouth but not his fists. We are on duty now. 1 won’t fight you.”

Yuan Hongjun looked at him with disdain. “Because you can’t beat me.”

“Who said 1 can’t beat you?” Bao Linjiang challenged, “Fine, after the free clinic ends this afternoon, let’s have a match.”

Yuan Hongjun pointed at Bao Linjiang and said fiercely, “Alright, watch how 1 beat you up.”

Bao Linjiang snorted. “Don’t be so confident. We’ve fought for so many years. Who has won?!”

“We’ll see!”

“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?!”

Fan Jingxu rode over on a horse and dismounted in front of Yuan Hongjun, looking quite annoyed. “Hongjun, my second sister hasn’t shown up for two days, and you haven’t even gone to look for her?”

“I…” Yuan Hongjun was speechless. He had no reason to look for Fan Yuru.

“What? If you hadn’t hinted at me, 1 wouldn’t have let my second sister go to the clinic with you. Now that you have the opportunity, you don’t appreciate it. You really disappoint me,” Fan Jingxu said, growing even angrier.

Yuan Hongjun opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing Yuan Hongjun’s bewildered expression, Fan Jingxu’s anger only grew.

“My second sister has been locked up by my father now. He intends to force her into an arranged marriage. I’m delivering the message, so you figure out what to do yourself.”

With that, he mounted his horse and left.

Yuan Hongjun stood rooted to the ground in a daze. His mind was overwhelmed by Fan Jingxu’s words just now.

Bao Linjiang nudged Yuan Hongjun and said as if he was watching a good show, “Are you going to find Fan Yuru?” He changed the topic. “However, if you go to find her, you have to be responsible for her.”

Yuan Hongjun turned to look at Bao Linjiang. “Don’t just watch from the sidelines. You and Rong Shiyu haven’t even had a proper conversation yet. If I recall correctly, the two of you haven’t exchanged more than fifty sentences in total. It’s even more challenging for you than it is for me.”

Struck in a sensitive spot, Bao Linjiang’s expression gradually faded, until it became completely blank, and he silently walked away.

Yuan Hongjun smirked, thinking, Always the loser!

At the Chu Residence.

With no other options, Yuan Hongjun had to turn to his master, who could do anything. “Master…”

Chu Qingzhi emerged from the medicine room, asking, “Why the long face?”

Yuan Hongjun sighed, “Master, General Fan plans to forcibly arrange a marriage for Fan Yuru. What should 1 do?”

“Why would he arrange a marriage forcibly?”

“I don’t know. Master, please help me think of a solution.” Yuan Hongjun’s mind was a mess, like a tangle of threads he couldn’t unravel.

“Have you found out who General Fan has in mind as a potential match?”

“I haven’t inquired yet, Master. I came straight here.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at her young disciple, who was clearly troubled. She found it somewhat amusing, “This matter can be easily resolved…”

Yuan Hongjun suddenly perked up and looked at Chu Qingzhi with enthusiasm.

“If you like Yuru, just go and propose. If you don’t like her that much, then stop it.”

Chu Qingzhi continued, “I understand your current thoughts. Do you have some affection for Yuru, but it’s not enough for you to propose?”

Yuan Hongjun nodded, “Yes.”

Prestige within large families was highly significant. When two children from different prominent families were betrothed, unless an unexpected situation occurred, it was unlikely that the engagement would be canceled. Otherwise, they would be expected to live together for the rest of their lives.

In other words, Yuan Hongjun was not yet determined to spend his life with Fan Yuru.

Of course, Fan Yuru felt the same way.

So, the current situation was quite awkward.

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment, “Does Yuru have any affection for you?”

Yuan Hongjun shook his head slowly and helplessly. “No, she’s interested in someone else, someone like Brother Tang.”

Every time Brother Tang appeared, Fan Yuru would cast several glances at him. Of course, it wasn’t out of love, but rather pure admiration.

Chu Qingzhi was not surprised. Most girls liked tall and handsome men.

Hongjun and Linjiang were still young men, so they naturally did not have the charm of mature men. “If you don’t want to give up on Yuru, I’ll talk to General

Fan..”
