However, Miao Tianai didn't feel much about all this. She just ate and drank as usual.
"Dad, has something big happened in our family? Why do you look so scary?" Miao Fangtian, the current head of the Miao family, asked the old man sitting in the seat of honor with a cautious look on his face.
Old Master Miao glanced at his family and snorted softly, "Look at you all, you all look like decent people, but none of you have inherited our Miao family's medical skills. Look at the Xiao family, they haven't been able to do it for so many years, but this year they actually qualified for the medical competition."
Miao Xinru, who had been lowering her head, immediately raised her head when she heard the Xiao family. "Grandpa, are you talking about the Xiao family that Xiao Wen and his family are from?"
Grandpa Miao glanced at his eldest granddaughter and replied coldly, "Now in the capital, besides the Xiao family, which other Xiao family can reach the ears of our Miao family?"
Under the lecherous gaze of her grandfather, Miao Xinru had no choice but to lower her head again with a look of fear.
At this time, Miao Tianai, who had eaten and drunk her fill, put down her bowl and chopsticks and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "The Xiao family has a granddaughter-in-law who is an excellent doctor. Of course she can enter the so-called competition you mentioned."
As soon as she finished speaking, she asked the woman sitting next to her to pull the corner of her clothes, signaling her to keep quiet.
Miao Tianai glanced at her mother who was afraid of meddling in other people's affairs, pouted her lips, but was obedient and didn't say anything else.
At this time, Mr. Miao looked at her and called her out for the first time, "Girl Tianai, you just said that the Xiao family has a daughter-in-law with great medical skills. How did you know that?"
Miao Tianai raised her eyebrows a little flattered when she saw that the old ancestor actually remembered her name.
People like their second branch who had no sense of existence made her think that their whole family were just outsiders living under the surname Miao.
"Grandpa, were you talking to me just now?" Miao Tianai asked Grandpa Miao with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was sternly warned by her uncle Miao Fangtian.
"Tian Ai, don't be disrespectful. If you continue to be disrespectful of your superiors, you will have to kneel down in the ancestral hall."
When Miao Tianai heard what he said, she curled her lips indifferently.
At this time, Mr. Miao spoke again, "Fangtian, don't interrupt me, let Tianai continue."
Miao Fangtian replied softly, "Yes, father."
Miao Tianai looked at her uncle who was frustrated, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Over the years, the first wife has inherited the power of the Miao family, while the second wife can only depend on the first wife. Over the years, the second wife has suffered a lot at the hands of the first wife.
Now that’s good, tonight, the second branch finally showed its strength to the first branch.
After feeling proud in her heart for a moment, Miao Tianai finally returned to reality and began to seriously answer Grandpa Miao's words, "Grandpa, don't you know that Xiao Wen, the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, married a wife who is very skilled in medicine and is gentle and generous? Haven't you noticed the difference in me?"
When she asked this question, Grandpa Xiao took a serious look at his little granddaughter. He immediately noticed something different.
The scar on this granddaughter's face is gone.
"What's with the scar on your face?" he asked in surprise.
Seeing that her ancestor had finally noticed something different about her, Miao Tianai proudly lifted her hair and said, "Grandpa, let me tell you, the scars on my face were cured by the Xiao family's granddaughter-in-law. It only took her half a month to make my scars disappear. Isn't that amazing?"
Having said that, she secretly glanced at her uncle.
Their Miao family is also a medical family, and her uncle is the director of a large hospital in Beijing. However, her uncle cannot get rid of the scars on her face. She finds it funny when she thinks about it.
When Miao Fangtian saw the mocking look his niece was giving him, his face turned red.
Old Master Miao waved at her excitedly, "Come here and let me see the scar on your face."
He knew a little about the scar on his granddaughter's face, but since she was younger than him, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But over the years, this scar has always been on his granddaughter's face, and he still remembers it vividly.
Miao Tianai laughed, immediately stood up and walked to the old man, allowing him to check her carefully.
Anyway, her face is almost healed now, so she doesn't have to worry about being examined.
After the examination, Mr. Miao's eyes were full of surprise.
"It's really healed. There's no trace left at all. There are actually people in this world with such medical skills." Old Master Miao murmured in a daze.
"Sister, speaking of this matter, I have to thank you very much. If you hadn't pushed me to the ground and hit the stone, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet Sister Qingqing."
When Miao Xinru heard her little cousin's words, a hint of annoyance flashed across her pretty face.
When Miao Tianai saw her deflated look, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Old Master Miao doesn't care about the wars among his grandchildren. In his opinion, the more struggles the younger generations have, the better it will be for the future development of their Miao family.
Lin Qingqing was unaware of what was happening at the Miao family.
The next day, she received a petition in a high-quality wooden box at the Xiao family's house.
When Lin Qingqing received the box, she thought it was a prank played by someone.
After all, she had never encountered a request for advice being delivered in a wooden box.
Just when she was about to ask Xiao Wen to throw the wooden box at the door, she happened to meet Grandpa Xiao who came back from outside with his three little ones.
"What is this?" he asked, pointing at the wooden box in his eldest grandson's hand.
Xiao Wen shook his head. "I don't know. Someone just delivered it to our door. They didn't tell me what it was for. Qingqing thought it was ugly and told me to just throw it away."
Just as his eldest grandson passed by, Grandpa Xiao's shrewd eyes inadvertently swept across a certain mark on the wooden box.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly he hurriedly called out to his eldest grandson who was about to go out.
Xiao Wen stopped and turned around in confusion to look at his grandfather who suddenly called him.
Before he could ask what was going on, he suddenly saw his grandfather running towards him and snatching the wooden box from his hand.
"Grandpa, what are you doing..." Before he could finish his question, he heard Grandpa Xiao's voice with a look of relief on his face.
"That's great, that's great. Fortunately, we stopped it. It would have been terrible if it was thrown away." Old Master Xiao held the wooden box with a treasured look on his face.
Lin Qingqing, who was inside, heard the noise outside and came out to see Grandpa Xiao holding the box with a look of relief on his face.
Puzzled, she walked up to Xiao Wen, nudged him gently with her arm, and whispered in his ear, "What's going on? What happened to Grandpa?"
