Chapter 721 Mu Jiuyuan

"Wan Qiqi, don't dodge my question. How exactly did you escape from Tu Yi?"

Liang Pengfei followed the inquiry all the way to the clinic.

The female doctor at the clinic saw that Wan Qiqi's eyes were closed, her lips were pale, and the person in official robes beside her was still talking incessantly, so she stopped.

She looked at Liang Pengfei coldly, "Keep the clinic quiet, don't disturb others."

Liang Pengfei raised the ivory tablet and said righteously, "I am an official in charge of government affairs. I have something to ask you. Don't cause trouble here."

The doctor glanced at the ivory token in Liang Pengfei's hand, reached out, took it, and tossed it out of the clinic window.

“You…” Liang Pengfei didn’t expect a mere doctor to be so bold, and he raised his hand in anger.

Chen Yongnian immediately stepped in front of the woman, saying, "Lord Liang, if you lay a hand on a woman, I will despise you!"

“Chen Yongnian, because of your wife, Tu Yi ran away. Shouldn’t you give an explanation?” Liang Pengfei questioned.

"Isn't that your responsibility? The person was right in front of you, and you still hadn't caught him." Chen Yongnian spoke firmly, his aura no less imposing than Liang Pengfei's.

"You two, get out! I need to examine the patient!" the female doctor snapped coldly.

Chen Yongnian turned around and apologized to the young woman.

Liang Pengfei showed no remorse and said, "What's your name? How dare you throw away the government's token! I'll make you regret this!"

The woman stared at Liang Pengfei and said, "Mu Jiuyuan, if you have the guts, take me to the authorities."

Mu Jiuyuan remained firm and showed no sign of being intimidated by Liang Pengfei's words.

On the contrary, Liang Pengfei's expression changed after hearing Mu Jiuyuan's name.

He even knelt down on one knee and bowed, saying, "Miss Mu, it was my rudeness. Please forgive me."

"Get out! I don't want to say it a third time!" Mu Jiuyuan said coldly.

Liang Pengfei stopped arguing and got up to walk outside.

Chen Yongnian glanced at Wan Qiqi with concern, then followed her out.

Only Mu Jiuyuan and Wan Qiqi remained inside.

Mu Jiuyuan used a clean handkerchief to wipe away the blood around Wan Qiqi's neck, then poured on some specially prepared wound medicine before stopping.

“They’re all gone, stop pretending to be unconscious!” she said.

The person on the bed slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Physician Mu."

"A doctor's heart is full of compassion; no matter who is brought in, I will save them all!"

Mu Jiuyuan got up and started rummaging through the medicine cabinet next to her. “The wound is not deep and has not damaged your meridians. You are already weak, and the wound has caused you to lose a lot of blood, which is why you are so weak. I will prescribe some nourishing medicine for you. You can go back and decoct it, and you will feel better.”

Wan Qiqi sat up, watching Mu Jiuyuan's busy figure, and smiled, "Thank you, Doctor Mu."

"Also, after the neck heals, it will leave a scar. Women love beauty, so there is a scar repair ointment on the table. After the scar falls off, apply it every day and it will be as good as new."

Mu Jiuyuan instructed that the medicinal herbs had already been prepared for Wan Qiqi and packed up.

Wan Qiqi turned her head to look at the small round box on the table, and her uneasy heart was suddenly calmed down.

She felt that Mu Jiuyuan was not only a doctor, but also a ray of warm sunshine, capable of healing people's hearts.

Recalling Liang Pengfei's change in attitude towards Mu Jiuyuan, Wan Qiqi not only looked up to examine Mu Jiuyuan, wondering who she was.

There aren't many people who can make Liang Pengfei kneel down and apologize.

Even fewer people would immediately change their attitude because of a name.

"Doctor Mu, how did you come to study medicine? Aren't women from wealthy families supposed to stay in their chambers and not show their faces in public?" Wan Qiqi asked.

Mu Jiuyuan paused, looked up at Wan Qiqi, and shook her head with a smile, "As the wife of a clerk and with a scholar-official brother, doesn't Boss Wan also make her presence known in public?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Wan Qiqi's eyes.

She didn't expect that the other person, who wasn't from Yunhe County, would also know about these things.

"My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and it has been hundreds of years since then. I have also inherited the family's medical skills and practice medicine to help people and save lives."

Mu Jiuyuan explained as she handed the packaged medicine to Wan Qiqi.

Wan Qiqi nodded, finally understanding, yet also delighted.

A family that has practiced medicine for generations, sitting in clinics and treating patients, this person named Mu Jiuyuan is very much to my liking.

The way Mu Jiuyuan asked Liang Pengfei to leave was very much to Wan Qiqi's liking.

She felt that women like Mu Jiuyuan were the kind of people she wanted to get to know better.

She dislikes women who are submissive and whose lives revolve entirely around men.

Even so, Wan Qiqi did not take the initiative to make amends.

If two people like each other, they can become friends without having to try to please each other.

Wan Qiqi, holding the things Mu Jiuyuan had given her, asked with a smile, "Doctor Mu, how much money do these cost?"

"I like you, so I won't charge you!" Mu Jiuyuan said as she walked towards the medicine cabinet. "Consider it a gift to make friends!"

"Make friends?" Wan Qiqi was somewhat surprised. "Doctor Mu, you come from a prestigious family. Are you really willing to be friends with a country woman like me?"

"Where we come from is not something we can choose! The skills you possess are not something every man can match. And as for the brother of the son-in-law whom the Prince of Huaibei has chosen, if word gets out, people will think I'm trying to climb the social ladder by associating with you!"

Mu Jiuyuan raised her eyes, her gaze gentle. "I had heard of you in Liangzhou long ago. It is truly an honor to meet you!"

Wan Qiqi never expected that she would be sent all the way to Liangzhou!

Recalling Mu Jiuyuan's words, Wan Qiqi was even more certain that Mu Jiuyuan was no ordinary noblewoman.

But so what?

My friendship with Mu Jiuyuan was never based on her status, nor was it because I wanted to gain any benefit from her.

The clinic was filled with harmony as the sisters confided in each other.

Outside the clinic, the two people standing in the darkness remained motionless like two wooden stakes for a long time.
