She didnât know why the madmanâs gene was so strong, but Rong Xi was only two years old and her personality hinted at a sinister nature, which already made her cautious.
She couldnât raise another Chu Yifeng.
Su Yingxue slightly furrowed her brow, âBut sister had released some information that led Chu Yifeng to find her portrait, hadnât she?â
She had thought that Rong Sheng, to some extent, would let Chu Yifeng know about his daughterâs existence, allowing father and daughter to meet.
âThat was bait, just my own news. Chu Yifeng might not come in a grand manner. Knowing he has a daughter, he would surely come prepared and have his concerns, he wouldnât want to hurt Rong Xi.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Rong Sheng looked at the young girl sitting quietly; she had just finished reading a picture book and then started tearing it apart.
On her delicate face, there werenât many emotions, yet she managed to tear the picture book completely, leaving no trace, giving no chance for others to pry.
Clearly, she had memorized the content of the torn picture book.
She would become like Chu Yifeng, surely his Achillesâ heel.
And she must use this Achillesâ heel to make Chu Yifeng forget her forever, to stay away from her for a lifetime.
Su Yingxue suddenly felt that this was somewhat cruel; regardless of what that madman Chu Yifeng felt, it was regrettable for the young girl Rong Xi, who had such a wonderful mother as sister Rong Sheng, yet would never see her father again.
Su Yingxue chatted idly with Rong Sheng for a while until Rong Sheng needed to continue seeing patients.
Back in the familiar clinic, Su Yingxue herself felt a strong urge to practice, though she could not sit in consultation like Rong Sheng anymore, but helping Rong Sheng, decocting medicine, and simply changing dressings for patients were still things she could do.
She had just finished bandaging one of Rong Shengâs patients when outside, Rong Shengâs apprentice, Little Xie, came running to say, âDoctor Rong, the person responsible for decocting medicine suddenly had an emergency at home; all three of them have requested leave to go back, and we are short-handed with the medicine-making.â
While saying this, Little Xie glanced at Su Yingxue, who had been helping out in Rong Shengâs place all morning, and noted that she was capable of doing the work.
âFind someone else,â Rong Sheng said with a cold face, âNot everyone can help you decoct medicines, go and arrange it yourself.â
Little Xie, having been with Rong Sheng for two years and although only seventeen or eighteen, had grown mature.
Seeing that it was not going to work, he could only turn away.
âWait, decocting medicine is a minor matter, let me help you.â Su Yingxue washed her hands and was ready to go out with Little Xie.
Rong Sheng slightly furrowed her brow, âDonât go, given your current status, it might not be good if people find out.â
Although she didnât have the ancient rigorous class concept, thinking Su Yingxue, as an empress, shouldnât do such hard work.
But she had to consider Su Yingxueâs safety; their visit this time was not as simple as sightseeing.
Su Yingxue smiled and shook her head, âItâs fine, the recent threats have been eliminated, and I am quite free! And besides, donât they always say, âto be a mother to the nationâ? Let me take care of my âchildrenâ.â
She smiled broadly, making all the myriad beauties of the world pale in comparison.
Rong Sheng did not control her further.
Su Yingxue went with Little Xie to help in the decocting room. Whereas it normally took the medicine apprentices half a day to organize the medicinal herbs and utensils, she did so efficiently and quickly finished decocting and packaging the medicine, having it sent out by the runners.
But when decocting a certain prescription, she pinched her nose, âWhose chronic old injury is so severe to require such medication?â
She felt something was unusual and grabbed Little Xie to ask.
