Yu Yunxi stopped in her tracks when Third Master Wei mentioned the Prince Regent. She turned around and said coldly, “I thank Third Master Wei for the reminder. However, it seems like there’s something you don’t understand. There’s no relationship between me and His Royal Highness so how can our relationship be affected?”
Third Master Wei’s expression was a little unsightly when he heard these words.
“Qian Mei, let’s go.”
When they walked out, Qian Mei could not help but say, “County Princess, I really don’t understand why the Prince Regent would work with the Wei family.”
Although Oian Mei did not like the Prince Regent’s Residence. she thought that Feng Yili was quite a gentleman. How could he work with the Wei family? Moreover, according to Qian Jiao, the Wei family schemed and snatched away all of Yu Yunxi’s mother’s medical journals.
Yu Yunxi frowned when she heard Qian Mei’s words. The good impression she had of Feng Yili over the past few days diminished greatly.
“Forget about it. In the future, get more people to pay attention when we reopen the Revival Hall. Don’t give others any more opportunities to attack, ” Yu Yunxi said.
“Yes, County Princess.”
Just as Yu Yunxi was about to get into the carriage, she saw Doctor Li pacing back and forth outside of Wei Medical Hall. She walked toward him and called out, “Doctor Li?”
“It’s you?” Doctor Li was stunned.
“What are you doing outside of Wei Medical Hall? Shouldn’t you be inside?” Yu Yunxi asked in confusion.
Doctor Li scratched his head awkwardly as he said in a low voice, “I… I’m no longer with Wei Medical Hall…’
‘No longer with Wei Medical Hall?’
Yu Yunxi looked at the other party’s cautious and uneasy appearance, and a thought flashed in her mind. She asked softly, “Is it because I saved someone at the entrance of Wei Medical Hall previously? Did I cause you trouble?”
Doctor Li said with a sigh, “After I went back, I reflected on myself. I need to continue improving my medical skills, and I also need to change my attitude toward my patients. In fact, I’m also partly responsible for Third Master Wei asking me to leave Wei Medical Hall. I came today to see if he could give me another chance…”
After a moment, Yu Yunxi asked, “Doctor Li, why don’t you come to my medical hall
Although Doctor Li made mistakes that day, based on his willingness to admit his mistakes and provide her with silver needles and medicine, it was clear that he was not a bad person. Moreover, the Revival Hall indeed lacked doctors.
“Y-your medical hall?”
Doctor Li was stunned. Then he recalled the rumors he had heard recently. He stammered, “T-the Revival Hall…”
“Yes, it’s mine,” Yu Yunxi replied in a low voice.
Doctor Li’s expression brightened upon hearing this. He sounded a little excited as he asked, “So the Revival Hall is yours? Then Doctor Xu is your…”
‘Doctor Xu?’
Yu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly as she asked, “You know my mother?”
“Of course? How could people my age not know Doctor Xu? The Revival Hall saved many people back then. Unfortunately, not many people remember her now…” Doctor Li said, sounding a little disappointed nearing the end of his words.
Yu Yunxi felt a little touched when she heard these words. She did not expect someone to remember her mother. After a moment, she asked with a smile, “So, Doctor Li, are you willing to come to my medical hall?”
Doctor Li smiled, feeling flattered. “O-of course, I’m willing!” After a moment, he said cautiously, “You… You’re the County Princess, right? I heard that the Eldest Miss of the Yu family had been conferred the title of County Princess of
Xinan ”
“Doctor Li, there’s no need to be so polite. Just treat me normally,” Yu Yunxi said with a hint of helplessness.
“Alright, alright,” Doctor Li said tentatively with a nod. He suddenly thought of something and could not help but ask curiously, “County Princess, why did you come to Wei Medical Hall? Oh, that’s right. You should have a good relationship with Wei Medical Hall.”
“What do you mean, Doctor Li?” Yu Yunxi frowned slightly.
‘Why does he think I have a good relationship with Wei Medical Hall?’
“Actually, there’s a little story behind it,” Doctor Li said with a sigh, “I joined Wei Medical Hall because Wei Medical Hall has your mother’s medical journals. Many doctors in Wei Medical Hall improved thanks to your mother’s medical journals.”
‘So it’s like this… Did Wei Medical Hall trick Mother and snatch her medical journals?’
Yu Yunxi’s mother brought many books from Jiangnan to the capital back then, and Yu Yunxi only read a small number of them. Later on, these books were lost.
“Doctor Li, how many of my mother’s medical journals does Wei Medical Hall have?” Yu Yunxi asked probingly.
Doctor Li did not think too much about it Yu Yunxi’s question. After a moment, he replied seriously, “There’s a room that’s filled with your mother’s medical journals. If any doctor in Wei Medical Hall encounters a problem, he or she can refer to the journals. However, there are a few books that are only exclusive to the Wei family.”
“How many books are there?”
“I’m not sure, but they’re no longer in Wei Medical Hall. When the books were delivered, I accidentally flipped through a few pages of one of those special books. As a result, I was scolded by Third Master Wei,” Doctor Li said with a sigh as he shook his head.
“Do you remember what you read, Doctor Li?” Yu Yunxi asked a little urgently. She wanted to know what the Wei family was up to.
“I don’t remember. There were some incomprehensible characters, ” Doctor Li said.
‘Incomprehensible characters?’
Yu Yunxi’s head hurt a little, and some memories began to surface in her mind. She vaguely remembered seeing her mother reading a book with incomprehensible characters when she was six years old. She could not understand it at all. At that time, she only thought that she was young so she could read it. In hindsight, those words were incomprehensible. Moreover, her mother’s actions at that time were also very strange. Usually, her mother would hold her and teach her how to read. However, at that time, her mother did not do that. Her mothers had quickly closed the book and carried her out. After that, she had never seen that book again.
‘Wait… Those incomprehensible characters… Where have I seen them before?
Right, the warm jade!’
There were also strange characters on the warm jade.
‘Is there any connection between the two?’
The more Yu Yunxi thought about it, the more solemn she became. She felt like there was a fog shrouding her, preventing her from seeing clearly.
“County Princess, what’s wrong?” Doctor Li called out worriedly when he saw that Yu Yunxi’s expression was not right.
Yu Yunxi regained her senses and said calmly, “It’s nothing, Doctor Li. You can go to the Revival Hall today. I’ll get someone to arrange everything for you.”
“Alright. Thank you, County Princess.”
Yu Yunxi’s expression was a little cold when she watched Doctor Li leave. She said to Qian Mei in a low voice, “Qian Mei, is there a possibility that my mother’s origin is not as simple as it seems…”
‘The daughter of a rich merchant in Jiangnan shouldn’t have so many strange things…’
“What? What do you mean, County Princess?” Qian Mei asked, confused.
“It’s nothing,” Yu Yunxi replied, lowering her head to hide the complicated expression on her face. It seemed like she had to retrieve the warm jade from Feng Yili as soon as possible. After settling the matter in the capital, she would have to visit Jiangnan.
She heard from her mother long ago that her maternal grandfather and the others had passed away a long time ago and that she no longer had any family in Jiangnan. However, as long as they had lived there before, there would surely be traces left behind..
