Chapter 100: Chapter 101 Are you still good at predicting and calculating?

Chu Yu regarded her with deep, contemplative eyes. The face that once stirred pity in his heart now made him somewhat reluctant to look at her.

He slowly released his grip and leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

“Marquis…”

“I’m tired,” Chu Yu said, cutting off her words and not giving her a chance to speak further.

Luo Jiner lowered her gaze, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes. She vowed to make him pin all the blame on Shao He.

She would never let Shao He off the hook!

...

…

The temperature had suddenly dropped in recent days, and the change in the weather caused passersby to tremble with cold, considerably thinning the crowds on the streets.

Shao He came from the back courtyard to the front hall, intending to inform Yun Qian that many medicinal herbs were out of stock.

After looking around and not finding him, her beautiful brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself, “What’s gotten into Yun Qian lately? Why is he always absent from Anji Hall?”

Though she had her doubts, this was someone else’s business after all, and it wasn’t her place to pry. She could only wait for his return.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard footsteps from behind. Turning to look,

she saw Yun Qian entering covered in snow, not even taking the time to shake off the snowflakes before urgently saying to Shao He, “There’s been an incident.”

“What happened?”

Seeing his serious expression, Shao He had a vague idea and asked, “Is it a problem with Imperial Doctor Lu’s pharmacy?”

“How did you know?” Yun Qian asked with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

“Where are the items?” Shao He asked, looking up at him instead of answering his question and reaching out her hand.

Yun Qian reached into his chest and fumbled around, retrieving a bottle of frostbite ointment and Cold Effervescent Powder to hand over to her.

Shao He took them and opened the container for a sniff, confirming they were correct before putting them away.

Yun Qian watched her, hesitated to speak, and seemed to have a dilemma.

“If there’s something you need to say, just say it.”

“How did you know about the trouble at Imperial Doctor Lu’s pharmacy, and how did you know I bought frostbite ointment and Cold Effervescent Powder?” Yun Qian couldn’t help asking.

He was amazed by Shao He’s incredible ability. Could it be that she not only had medical skills but could also predict fortunes?

“Let’s talk about that later; for now, tell me what happened with Imperial Doctor Lu’s pharmacy,” Shao He said, not answering directly and diverting the topic with a light smile.

“I’ve already made inquiries. Rumors outside say that Anji Hall stole a recipe ancestral to a certain Imperial Physician. That physician has now given the recipe to the Imperial Medical Bureau. If the Bureau gets involved, it might become troublesome,” Yun Qian said, knowing the situation at the Imperial Medical Bureau better than anyone—it was a place that devoured people without spitting out the bones.

Shao He pondered while sitting in the chair and then said, “No matter, it’s better if the matter blows up.”

“What do you intend to do?” Yun Qian, who was becoming more puzzled by her by the day, didn’t understand what she was thinking.

Shao He curved her lips into a slight smile, “You’ll find out when the time comes.”

Having said that, she stood and walked out.

Yun Qian watched her leave, pondering thoughtfully.

Outside Anji Hall, Old Madam Chu alighted from the carriage, her nanny beside her asking in confusion, “Old Madam, why have you come to see Shao He again?”

Having served Old Madam for so long, none knew her temperament and nature better than her nanny, who found it strange that despite being repeatedly rebuffed, she did not take offense, but continued to welcome him with a smile.

Old Madam Chu’s lips curled into a mysterious smile, “You naturally wouldn’t understand the reasons.”

The nanny advised with good intentions, “Old Madam, the Marquis will not agree to Shao He and her son entering the mansion. I see that the Marquis is not very interested in the child either.”

Having heard this, Old Madam Chu snorted with anger, “Yuyu is just being manipulated by that little wench. I will never allow a lowly maid to become the lady of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.”

It would be a great humiliation for Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion and make it impossible for her to face others in the future.

“I see the Marquis shows special favor to Luo Jiner. If the Old Madam forces the issue, I’m afraid it will cause strife between you and the Marquis. Wouldn’t that benefit Luo Jiner?” the nanny cautiously reminded from the side.

In the mansion, Luo Jiner, with the backing of the Marquis’s favor, ordered the servants around, and no one dared to voice their displeasure.

Nanny Xu had been deliberately framed by her and had held a grudge against Luo Jiner ever since, desiring nothing more than to prevent her from becoming the lady of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.

“She wants to compete with me? She still has much to learn. I don’t care whether Shao He can return to the mansion or not; I just want to use this opportunity to provoke Luo Jiner. No matter what I do, it will only hasten my embrace of a great-grandson,” Old Madam said, smiling as she looked toward Anji Hall and stepped inside.

Nanny Xu suddenly understood and quickly followed.

Yun Qian, seeing Old Madam Chu approaching again, stepped forward and asked, “Is there some discomfort with the Old Madam’s health?”

After surveying the hall and not seeing the person she wanted to meet, Old Madam Chu asked, “Where is Shao He?”

“If the Old Madam feels unwell, I can take your pulse just as well,” Yun Qian said, smiling to keep her from troubling Shao He.

Old Madam Chu said haughtily, “I’ve always been treated by Doctor Shao, and I’m not accustomed to suddenly changing doctors.”

Nanny Xu echoed on the side, “Indeed, Doctor Shao has always treated our Old Madam. Only she knows the Old Madam’s condition best. Please let her come to treat our Old Madam.”

“This…”

“Very well, Old Madam, please have a seat here,” Shao He said, carrying medicinal herbs and passing them to Yun Qian before turning to head to the area for medical consultations.
