Even Doctor Fu, who was impressed by her medical skills, did not think that she could destroy Hu Jiusheng's Renxintang within three months.

Qin Yanran looked regretful: "Why are you doing this? Stop saying those angry words and apologize to Miss Hu. I believe Miss Hu is very generous and will not hold it against you."

Hu Biyun snorted and said, "You are wrong, Miss Qin, I really care about it. I am waiting to see how she makes our Hu family's Renxin Hall disappear from Zhuangyuan Street!"

"Girl..." Although the owner of the drug store was anxious to sell his shop, he was not a wicked person after all.

He advised: "Don't go against the Hu family, you can't defeat them."

Li Baoren said nothing.

He had just heard that the two of them had treated a certain marquis, and he was secretly delighted, thinking that he had met a noble man in this case. However, he did not expect that the two of them would offend the Hu family the next moment.

Well, stop trying to persuade me.

Three months later, he was waiting to do their business.

Either sell or rent.

On the way back, Doctor Fu seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.

It was Su Xiaoxiao who spoke up: "What crime did your father commit that caused him to leave Beijing?"

He should have kept the matter about his father to himself.

He couldn't tell why, but he just had an inexplicable trust in her.

He said, "More than ten years ago, my father went to Zhaoyang Palace to check the pulse of the Empress Dowager. When he came back that night, he looked a little off. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he was fine, just too tired. But a few days later, my father 'committed suicide by taking poison'. My mother and I took my father's coffin back to our hometown to bury him. My father was a doctor, and he made himself look like a dead person. After avoiding many inquiries, we arrived in Qingzhou smoothly."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Besides you, is the only one who knows about this, Master Huijue?"

Doctor Fu said: "That's right. The reason why we were able to settle down in Qingzhou was thanks to her secret help."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "I have always been curious about the identity of Master Huijue. She seems to be very powerful."

Doctor Fu shook his head: "I don't know her identity in the secular world. Although I have a father who is an imperial physician, I am dull and failed to be admitted to the Imperial Hospital, so I don't have many opportunities to see the world. My mother must know, but she didn't tell me. Maybe she wanted to protect me. Knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with the last point.

As for being dull, Su Xiaoxiao doesn't think so.

In this world, some people become famous at a young age, while others achieve success late in life. It cannot be generalized.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "You just said that it was Hu Jiusheng who betrayed your father?"

Doctor Fu recalled: "That day, Hu Jiusheng was supposed to go and check the pulse of the Empress Dowager, but he had a stomachache, so my father went in his place."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "So your father... took the blame for Hu Jiusheng?"

Doctor Fu sighed, "I don't know if this counts as taking the blame. My father originally intended to lie and claim that he didn't diagnose anything, but it was Hu Jiusheng who told the then judge that my father had always had the habit of writing medical records. My father knew he couldn't escape, so he decided to fake his death and leave Beijing."

Su Xiaoxiao was very puzzled: "What did they find out that caused such a disaster?"

Doctor Fu had a complicated expression on his face. “I also found out about this after I secretly looked at the medical records before my father destroyed them. The page didn’t mention who the patient was, nor did it record the time. But I knew it was from Zhaoyang Palace. There were only two words written on the entire page.”

...Happy pulse.

After arriving home, the three little ones were hungry and wanted to eat big meat buns, so Su Xiaoxiao went out to buy them some.

When Su Xiaoxiao was walking back with a bowl full of meat buns, she was unexpectedly bumped by a woman who was rushing forward.

With Su Xiaoxiao's weight... it was impossible for her to be knocked down, but the other party staggered and fell forward.

Su Xiaoxiao freed up one hand and helped her up.

Without even looking at Su Xiaoxiao, she simply said thank you, then wrapped her cloak tightly around her and hurried forward.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her back strangely.

Was she dazzled just now or what?

Why does that person look a bit like... the Empress Dowager? But the Empress Dowager is in the palace and will not appear on the street alone.

The woman hurried into an alley, put on the hood of her cloak, and looked back vigilantly as she walked.

When she reached the alley entrance, she caught a glimpse of a grey figure and immediately shrank back in fear.

She returned the same way and entered a clothing store.

The proprietress greeted her warmly: "Madam, do you want to pick out fabrics or buy ready-made clothes?"

The woman turned around and said absentmindedly, "Material."

The proprietress smiled and said, "We have just received a few rolls of top-quality brocade. Please wait a moment, madam. I will show them to you."

The woman hummed.

The proprietress turned around and went to get fabric from the shelf.

Suddenly, a sharp dagger pressed against the woman's lower back.

The woman stiffened.

The gray-robed man covered the dagger with his wide sleeves and supported her with his other hand as they walked out.

The lady boss turned around while holding the material: "Girl, these are the two... Eh? Where are the people?"

The woman was taken into a secluded alley and pushed into an abandoned house.

The man pushed her to the ground.

Several other people rushed out of the house.

One of the scarred men glanced at her, rubbed his hands together and said with a lewd smile, "Where did you get such a pretty girl, Fifth Brother?"

The scarred man said aggrievedly: "Is it not okay to touch it twice?"

The man said coldly: "If you want me to chop off your hand, just try it."

The scarred man took two steps back.

The man ordered, "I'm going to go out for a while, you guys keep an eye on her and don't let her run away."

The scarred man said, "I understand, Fifth Brother, you go ahead."

The man turned and left the house.

After making sure that he was far away, the man with the scar squatted down beside the woman.

His obscene gaze fell on the woman, and then he lifted her chin.

"Lao Zhou, Fifth Brother said you can't touch her!"

"What's wrong with me touching her? I won't break her virginity... But... she doesn't look like a young girl anymore... She must have been broken by a man a long time ago... I'll play with her for a few times first... The rest is yours..."

The woman was truly beautiful, with a face like jade and an extraordinary temperament. Her loose robe could not hide her exquisite and unique figure.

What man can resist such a beauty?

Several people remained silent.

The scarred man picked up the woman, ignored her struggle, kicked open the door, and threw her roughly onto the messy bed.

He advanced on him.

The woman looked at him in horror, with tears as big as beans falling from her eyes.

In the yard, the three of them looked at each other.

"Nothing will happen, right?"

"Don't you want to have a taste of that woman?"

"What if the fifth brother blames me?"

"Brothers who have been through thick and thin together, how can you turn against your brother just for a woman?"

There was a sound of someone falling in the room. The woman tried to escape, but was held back by the scarred man.

The three of them smiled wickedly and looked back at the closed door.

The next second, a cold dagger was pressed against the neck of one of them.

The man felt a chill on his neck: "You..."

He didn't have a chance to speak.

Su Xiaoxiao stabbed him in the throat with one knife.

By the time the other two realized someone had broken in, it was too late.

Su Xiaoxiao turned the handle of the knife, and the cold light reflected from the blade flashed across the two men's eyebrows.

The two of them didn't even have time to resist and fell to the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao kicked the door open, walked forward, grabbed the scarred man by the collar, and was about to stab him in the throat.

She glanced at the terrified woman on the bed, turned the handle of the knife, and hit him hard on the top of the head with her elbow from top to bottom.

The scarred man rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

Su Xiaoxiao threw him to the ground like a sack.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the woman on the bed.

I was not seeing things, she really was the Empress Dowager.

Su Xiaoxiao arrived in time. The Empress Dowager's clothes were intact, but her cloak had been torn off.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over, picked up the cloak and covered her slightly trembling body.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with her tearful eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because she took off her palace dress, but when she changed into a cloth skirt, she seemed like an ordinary folk woman.

Although it was absurd to say this, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was not looking at the Empress Dowager, but at a frightened deer.

Su Xiaoxiao tied the ribbon of her cloak for her and couldn't help but speak in a coaxing tone: "Grand Empress Dowager, it's okay."

The Empress Dowager said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that there was another man who seemed to be the leader of this group. His martial arts and vigilance were far beyond the reach of the four perverts.

Su Xiaoxiao said to her: "Let's leave here first."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly.

Su Xiaoxiao took her out of the house.

As soon as they left, the man came back.

He looked at the corpses all over the yard, with shock and anger flashing in his eyes.

"They all killed him with one blow... When did such a master appear in the capital?!"

The last day of the month, if you don't vote, it will expire 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
