Jiang Mingxu blinked. "Pretty sister, what are you talking about? Don't you know I'm a child without a father?"

For a moment, Fu Lingshu didn't know what to say.

This child is really good at making people choke.

"No, that's not right either. Your face isn't pretty at all right now. I won't call you 'pretty sister' anymore, otherwise I'd be lying."

Women, especially young women, value their appearance the most. Otherwise, Fu Lingshu wouldn't have come to Anping County in Anzhou Prefecture to seek medical treatment with only Granny Luo and her personal maid after learning of Zheng Shuoyi's whereabouts.

Hearing this, the pampered daughter of the Minister's family almost lost her temper.

"Although I'm not a doctor yet, there's something I can remind you. Getting angry and having a bad temper is bad for your health, especially since you're still undergoing treatment. Getting angry too easily will ruin your beautiful face."

Jiang Mingxu's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Fu Lingshu even angrier. "Stop talking nonsense to me."

"Oh, really? Old Zheng, she said I was talking nonsense, which hurt me a lot. Maybe I really don't have the talent for medicine. I guess I'd better not study it. Studying medicine won't save the people of Da Ye."

Zheng said he didn't know why the two of them suddenly started arguing. Although he could tell that Jiang Mingxu had provoked Fu Lingshu's anger first, Jiang Mingxu was a successor of Medicine King Valley.

"Don't be angry, I'll go talk to Miss Fu."

Zheng's words infuriated Fu Lingshu even more. The renowned Physician Zheng, who was worshipped by the powerful and wealthy in the capital, was actually being so humble to such a child.

What's going on here?

“I know Gu An’an is a good cook, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll write a letter right now and ask the head chef of Xiangmanlou Restaurant in the capital to come to Anping County to cook for Doctor Zheng and Doctor Tian.”

It's just about satisfying one's appetite; can't one even hire a chef?

Zheng said that as soon as he saw the veil fluttering, he knew that the daughter of the Minister's family was very angry.

“Miss Fu, this is not the cook’s problem. Although doctors are supposed to have the heart of a parent, and I should do my best to help you since I have taken on your treatment, if you continue to argue with Mingxu like this, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to treat you again.”

Fu Lingshu never expected that Doctor Zheng would say such a thing.

Jiang Mingxu, however, looked rather smug upon hearing this. "Old Zheng, didn't we agree to go on a trip? How could you forget about that?"

Zheng then realized that the feud between the two had a deeper backstory.

This was a little darling he had to treat like royalty. He went along with Jiang Mingxu's words, "It's just that I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be, little darling, don't take it to heart. I'll discuss it with my junior brother later, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Jiang Mingxu thought for a moment, "Whatever you want, just come back for my birthday. I want to eat the longevity noodles my mother makes for me."

Zheng readily agreed, "Okay, let's discuss it."

"I'm going back first. I'll have my mother prepare my luggage."

Fu Lingshu was dumbfounded as she watched the limping man leave.

"Dr. Zheng, you..." You are a distinguished guest of so many noble families, how can you be so...respectful to a child?

“Miss Fu, the scars on your face are quite old, and it won’t be easy to remove them completely. It will probably take about three months. I will write down a prescription for you. Follow this prescription for internal and external treatment, and there may be a one in ten thousand chance that you will recover completely.”

Fu Lingshu became a little nervous upon hearing this, "Then, what about using Jade Complexion Cream or Scar Removal Cream?"

Zheng Shuoyi naturally understands women's desire to cherish their appearance. "Scar removal cream can only treat newly formed scars. It doesn't have much effect on old scars."

Hope was within reach, but it was about to be shattered. Fu Lingshu was getting anxious. "You're a miracle doctor, is there really no way to help?"

"I'm just an ordinary doctor. If Miss Fu isn't in a hurry, she can wait a few more years."

Fu Lingshu's eyes widened upon hearing this. "What do you mean?"

"That child has amazing talent. Given time, he will surely become the unparalleled successor of the Medicine King Valley's divine physician. Perhaps he will be able to restore Miss Fu's face to its original state."

Fu Lingshu froze upon hearing this, and touched her face in a daze.

Her once smooth and flawless face is now uneven and bumpy; you can tell how ugly it is just by touching it.

She herself couldn't bear to look at her face like that.

It's ridiculous to pin your hopes on the child you just had a fight with; it's utterly absurd.

"Why would Doctor Zheng joke with me like that?"

“Miss Fu is overthinking it. I, Zheng, never joke with anyone.” Zheng said, usually not one to mince words, but this time he did say a few more words. “I don’t know what entanglement Miss Fu has with Mingxu, but if Miss Fu still has hope, she shouldn’t offend that child.”

Offended Jiang Mingxu.

Fu Lingshu asked herself honestly, she was not an unreasonable person. "He lied first, he clearly wanted to see me make a fool of myself."

She recounted what happened at the Taibai Restaurant.

Zheng nodded upon hearing this, "I forgot to tell Miss Fu something else. Although Mingxu is studying medicine, he has been without parental guidance since childhood. If it weren't for Madam Gu's kind upbringing, he would probably have gone astray long ago. He respects and loves Madam Gu the most, and I hope Miss Fu will keep this in mind."

Zheng had no interest in knowing what kind of entanglement this patient had with Gu An'an.

However, being a doctor with the heart of a parent, he still said one more thing.

Whether or not Fu Lingshu can take it to heart depends on his comprehension.

These words left Fu Lingshu stunned—

From now on, she will not only have to respect Jiang Mingxu, but also Gu An'an...
