Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 733: Chapter 733: What Damn Lucky Break Is This?

Qin Hongling, upon hearing the tone in Old Master Qin’s voice, dared not ask further. He got up and followed him into the study: "Dad, what happened?"

Old Master Qin frowned, pointed to the chair opposite, indicating for Qin Hongling to sit down: "I just came back from Uncle Jiao’s place; I found out some things from him."

Qin Hongling looked at the old master’s expression: "What is it?"

Old Master Qin looked at his son: "Yunyi has apprenticed under Yuan Yuxun."

Qin Hongling clearly didn’t understand: "Who is Yuan Yuxun?"

Seeing his son’s reaction, the old master was instantly displeased: "Yuan Yuxun, the former director of Beijing Hospital. The Yuan Family is a long line of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and you don’t know this?"

After a long pause, Qin Hongling finally remembered: "You mean Yunyi has joined the Yuan Family?"

Old Master Qin nodded and said: "Although Yuan Yuxun studied Western medicine, the Yuan Family’s medical heritage is surely in his hands. I heard that there is only one child left in the Yuan lineage now. I guess Yuan Yuxun must have seen Yunyi’s talent in traditional Chinese medicine. To continue the Yuan Family’s medical skills, he took Yunyi as a disciple."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongling’s expression also became serious: "I didn’t expect Chu Yunyi to have such an opportunity. Truly, life is unpredictable."

After speaking, he remembered: "Did you get this news from Uncle Jiao?"

Old Master Qin nodded.

Qin Hongling continued to ask: "How did he know?"

Old Master Qin was even more irritated now: "He has some connections with the Fu Family. He visited them a few days ago and heard the Fu Family mention it."

Qin Hongling didn’t know which Fu Family the old master was referring to: "What’s the story?"

Only then did Old Master Qin say: "It’s the Fu Family in the big courtyard next door. Years ago, Fu Chenyi of the Fu Family was injured in an avalanche and was left with some latent issues despite seeking medical treatment. Yuan Yuxun recommended Yunyi to them."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongling also fell silent.

He understood the old master’s concerns. If Chu Yunyi could really help Fu Chenyi cure his latent issues, the Fu Family would owe her a big favor. Even if she couldn’t cure him, this matter would forge a connection with the Fu Family.

Qin Hongling sighed: "Now it’s too late to say anything, the Long Family is beyond our reach. With that Chu girl’s temperament, even if we wanted to mend relations, I’m afraid she wouldn’t give us the chance."

Old Master Qin looked worried: "Remind everyone in the family not to provoke Yunyi without reason."

Qin Hongling nodded: "Got it, I’ll let them know."

Old Master Qin waved his hand: "Go on with your work."

Seeing Qin Hongling stand up, Old Master Qin remembered something and reminded him: "Since the wedding date with the Long Family is set, don’t let anything unexpected happen; we cannot afford to break the promise again."

As Qin Hongling stepped out of the study, he saw his wife standing to the side. Without needing to ask, he knew she was eavesdropping, an old habit of hers.

He gave her a look, then walked toward the living room.

Wu Lijuan quickly and cautiously caught up: "What did the old master want from you?"

Qin Hongling didn’t hide it: "Dad asked me to tell you all that if we ever run into Yunyi, don’t cause trouble or provoke her."

Wu Lijuan was puzzled and dismissive: "Why?"

Qin Hongling relayed everything the old master had said to his wife: "Since we’re no longer connected, let’s treat her as an ordinary person. No need to go out of our way to befriend nor to antagonize."

Wu Lijuan looked incredulous: "Truly, fortune shifts between places every thirty years; what a stroke of luck she’s had!"
