Liu Shimei used to know Du Gong as a respectable physician. According to her understanding of him, he would appear in the clinic every day, dressed neatly, speaking gently to the patients, and being friendly and tolerant towards his apprentices and servants.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In general, he was the kind of person who wouldn’t raise any suspicion at all, no matter how much one speculated, until his true face was exposed.

So why, after being detained for over half a month, did Du Gong change so drastically… looking as if he had experienced death?

Was it because he knew he was sentenced to execution and lost his will to live?

Upon hearing Liu Shimei’s doubt, Huangfu Lingyao glanced at her and said with a smile, “It’s definitely because of Wife’s compassionate heart; she can’t help but sympathize even with a bad person!”

In his heart, he thought, ‘A man, especially a lecherous one, without descendants and no hope in life, can he still have the will to live? Hehe!’

He continued, “Wife, there are too many people on the street; don’t go out. I’ll go out and teach him a lesson and be back soon!”

Saying that, he grabbed a basket and rushed out, incredibly fast, unstoppable.

The key was that one person had gone out, and immediately after, Mo’er also followed and ran out, saying, “Eldest Young Miss, I’ll go smash too! Changge, Lian Qiao, both of you protect the Eldest Young Miss!”

In no time, Mo’er also disappeared into the crowd.

Liu Shimei stood beside the counter, shaking her head helplessly.

One by one, they were all so playful!

But then again, it was all because they cared about her, that’s why they despised Du Gong even more.

Shu Yutong stood beside her, looking at the lively crowd outside, appearing quite despondent.

Liu Shimei lowered her head and, seeing her like this, asked, “Tongtong, you don’t want to go out too, do you?”

Shu Yutong actually wanted to go, but… she also knew she was young, and Liu Shimei wouldn’t let her run off. So she obediently stood there, shaking her head and saying, “Tongtong won’t go. Tongtong will stay obediently by Master’s side.”

Shu Jun walked over and said, “Yutong, accompany me to the pharmacy. Some medicines need your help to check.”

After the formal apprenticeship, Liu Shimei took Shu Yutong to formally pay respects to their senior martial brother.

So, their cousin also had to start calling them senior martial brother and senior martial sister.

“Huh?” Shu Yutong pouted. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to follow along.

In essence, even if she was a child prodigy with exceptional intelligence, she was still a sensitive child in need of attention. Orphaned at a young age and taken in by others, she longed for someone to be kind to her. Now that Liu Shimei, such a gentle person, appeared before her, she wished she could follow Liu Shimei around all the time.

But no one knew about her thoughts. If she voiced her opposition, they would just say she was throwing a tantrum.

Seeing her glance back every few steps, Liu Shimei gave her a faint smile and said, “Tongtong, go help your senior martial brother. By the time Lingyao and the others return, it’ll be almost lunchtime. We’ll have lunch together then!” Their junior disciple really behaved like their family dog!

She looked outside again, only to see the crowd in chaos. She couldn’t find their family dog anymore, nor could she see Mo’er.

Du Gong’s public humiliation had damaged his reputation, and it could be said that Zheng Medical Hall’s reputation had been affected as well. Liu Shimei didn’t miss this chance. She had Liang Yi hire some ‘water army’ to spread the news far and wide.

Recently, Fusheng Pavilion had become the direct beneficiary. More and more people came for medical consultations. Xu Xian said, “Our daily income has tripled compared to when we first opened!”

It was a good thing, but Liu Shimei remained cautious, thinking about Mu Jiangli’s words, warning her to be careful of the Zheng Medical Hall.

Du Gong had a master behind him, and the Zheng Medical Hall also had a master. Perhaps these were two different forces!

She couldn’t help but think about it again—there was another group of people behind the scenes plotting against Liu Quan…

It was too complicated!

Just as she was speaking, a scream came from the street.. “Oh my god! Someone is robbing the prisoner transport vehicle!”
