World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess Chapter 150 - Relentless Flow

Chapter 150 Relentless Flow

Guima sneered.

Suddenly, Liu Rumeng knelt down, looking at Xia Houmo with tears in her eyes. “Your Royal Highness, please don’t drive me out of the mansion.”

Seeing Liu Rumeng’s actions, Xia Houmo was a little confused.

“When did I say I would drive you out?”

Xia Houmo’s answer confirmed Liu Rumeng’s presumption; it was definitely Su Muge’s idea to let her marry someone!

She looked so pitiful with her tears streaming down her cheeks. “I know that I’m incompetent. I just want to serve you as much as possible, Your Royal Highness. Yesterday, Housekeeper Liao asked me if there was anyone I wanted to marry, and I refused him immediately. I don’t want to marry anyone. I only wish to serve Your Royal Highness and Your Grace in Jin Mansion. Please allow me.”

Seeing the weeping beauty, Guima stroked the gooseb.u.mps on his body and gave Su Muge a playful look. Su Muge raised her eyebrows but continued observing the mice in the cage.

Liu Rumeng had a “special status” in Jin Mansion. Housekeeper Liao had no courage to arrange her marriage. Therefore, it must be the order of Xia Houmo. But she didn’t expect Xia Houmo to let Liu Rumeng marry someone.

Seeing the crying girl, Su Muge wondered if she thought it was her idea to let her get married.

Su Muge thought: it was none of my business!

Xia Houmo’s face was expressionless, hiding his thoughts and feelings. “You don’t want to get married?”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness, I only want to serve Your Royal Highness and Your Grace for my life.” Liu Rumeng was crawling on the ground; her emaciated body was trembling slightly, like a withering leaf in the cold wind.

“Your Royal Highness, you… let Rumeng marry someone?”

Unexpectedly, Qingyu had groped outside of the room and heard their words.

“Brother Qingyu, why are you here? What if you get hurt again?” Seeing Qingyu outside the door, Liu Rumeng hurriedly stepped up to support him with a nervous look.

Qingyu held her hands tightly in his palms. “Your Royal Highness, since Rumeng is reluctant to get married. I beg you to take back the order.” Qingyu knelt in front of Xia Houmo.

Xia Houmo was silent; Su Muge and Guima also kept silent.

“Since she doesn’t want to marry someone, I’ll let her move here and serve you in the future.”

Xia Houmo’s words made Liu Rumeng’s face even paler.

“From now on, you don’t have to worry about the affairs of the mansion. Just take care of Qingyu.”

Hearing the words, Qingyu held Liu Rumeng’s hand even more tightly. “Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”

With red eyes and trembling lips, Liu Rumeng chocked and finally gritted her teeth. “Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”

“Help him go back.”

“Yes, brother Qingyu, be careful.” Liu Rumeng helped Qingyu get up.

“Rumeng, I’m fine. I didn’t get hurt just now.” Judging from Qingyu’s expression, he was in a good mood.

Guima stretched his arms. “I didn’t sleep last night, so I’ll go to have a rest and leave here to you, Your Grace.”

After Guima left, Su Muge and Xia Houmo were left alone in the room.

“Your Grace, here is your medical kit.” Yueru appeared in time with the medical kit.

“Put it down.”

“Yes.”

“Close the door.” Xia Houmo said when Yueru retreated.

“Yes.”

After the door was closed, Su Muge always felt the atmosphere in the room a little bit strange.

She opened her medical kit and took out all the things she needed.

“Your Grace, aren’t you curious?” Xia Houmo took the initiative to ask.

“A little bit, but it seems not so important whether I know or not.”

“Liu Rumeng’s father had taken the best care of me when I first joined the army. He died in a battle a few years ago and entrusted his only daughter to me.” Xia Houmo explained.

Xia Houmo had never been a person who would take care of someone. He just took Liu Rumeng back to his mansion and let her settle down here. After that… nothing else had happened.

“Qingyu is a general who had gone through fire and water with me. After returning from Nanban, he has become like this.”

Xia Houmo looked cold-blooded on the surface, but in fact, he attached great importance to his relations.h.i.+ps, at least to his comrades.

“Before Qingyu had the accident, he had asked to marry Rumeng. But Rumeng said that she only regarded him as her brother and refused.”

Su Muge raised her eyebrows. She could see that Qingyu liked Liu Rumeng very much. Unfortunately, the flowing water was ruthless. Liu Rumeng was only attracted to Xia Houmo. Therefore, Qingyu would be let down.

Su Muge got close to Xia Houmo with a gossip face. “Have you ever wondered why Miss Liu doesn’t want to marry someone, Your Royal Highness?”

Xia Houmo glanced at her and raised the corner of his lips. “I don’t want to know.”

Su Muge pouted her lips and put on the cape gloves to prepare for her work.

Xia Houmo sat quietly behind her, with his eyes fixed on her.

Su Muge anesthetized the mouse and began to cut open the periocular area. She had to find out where the blood in its eyes came from.

After helping Qingyu return to his room, Liu Rumeng put the empty dishes on the table into the hamper.

Seeing that Liu Rumeng kept silent, Qingyu couldn’t know about her mood. “Rumeng, don’t worry. Doctor Gui said that the Rani had excellent medical skills and could definitely cure my eyes.’

Liu Rumeng responded absently.

“Okay.”

Qingyu lowered his head down shyly. “If you are willing, I can take care of you all my life.”

When Qingyu asked to marry Liu Rumeng, Xia Houmo didn’t tell him that Liu Rumeng had refused him. After that, Qingyu went to Nanban on a mission and came back with injured eyes. As a result, Xia Houmo had no chance to give him a reply.

Seeing that Liu Rumeng had taken good care of him when he was injured, Qingyu thought… Liu Rumeng was also willing to marry him.

With flickering eyes, Liu Rumeng didn’t say anything to refuse.

“Brother Qingyu, His Royal Highness knows that you like me… How will he let me marry another person? It must be the Rani who doesn’t know the situation… She thinks His Royal Highness and I … so she ordered Housekeeper Liao to find someone for me to marry.”

“The Rani wants you to marry someone?”

“Well, yes, when I went to see her before, she mentioned the management of the inner courtyard. I was planning to hand over the control to her after I had arranged everything properly. But now … I’m afraid that she must have misunderstood me.”

Qingyu didn’t quite understand the intrigue between women in the back courtyard, but he could certainly understand Liu Rumeng’s meaning!

She meant that Su Muge deliberately made trouble for Liu Rumeng!

“Rumeng, rest a.s.sured, and I’ll make it clear to the Rani.”

“No, brother Qingyu, if the Rani knows, she will certainly think that I’m plotting her behind her. Brother Qingyu, just pretend that I have said nothing.”

Qingyu nodded repeatedly. “Rumeng, rest a.s.sured. I know what to do.”

After cutting open the skin of the mouse layer by layer, Su Muge found the blood vessels around its eyes ruptured, thus leading to its eyes bleeding. The blood vessels around the eyes were very thin, so only one or two of them getting ruptured couldn’t cause such ma.s.sive blood loss. But things would be different if many blood vessels were ruptured at the same time.

Then Su Muge dissected the mouse’s body. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with its body, she raised her head.

It was not enough to just find the cause of bleeding. Su Muge opened the porcelain bottle and poured out some miasma liquid. The mouse that had been dissected by her was still alive. She dripped some miasma liquid into its body for further observation.

Xia Houmo just looked at her quietly beside her, without bothering her.

“Your Royal Highness.” Zuoqiu’s voice came from outside the door. Xia Houmo stood up and went out.

“What’s the matter?”

“I found that Fengtian originally planned to retire, but a month ago, someone came to his door and paid him a large sum of money to take the task.”

Xia Houmo darkened his eyes. “The one who asked him to come to Jin Mansion?”

“Yes, I found the man somewhat a.s.sociated with Manyun Villa.”

Manyun Villa was the top villa of the Chu, but it had never partic.i.p.ated in any affairs of state.

“Find out his ident.i.ty.”

“Yes.”

“Send someone to monitor the people in Manyun Villa.”

“I see.”

Just as Xia Houmo turned around to enter the room, Su Muge opened the door and walked out.

“Your Royal Highness, I’m hungry. Let’s go for lunch.”

“Okay.”

Su Muge and Xia Houmo returned to Bamboo Courtyard.

The maids served the dishes for lunch.

After putting a chicken into her mouth, Su Muge watched the dishes on the table without moving her chopsticks.

Xia Houmo took a sip of soup and looked at her. “Why? You don’t like them?”

Su Muge was still recuperating, so the dishes were relatively light.

“Your Royal Highness, the dishes will get cold easily in this way in winter. Since the weather is cold, we should eat something warm, which is good for our health.”

Xia Houmo put down his chopsticks. “What do you want to eat, Your Grace?”

Su Muge smiled. “Your Royal Highness, you’ll know tonight.”

After lunch, Xia Houmo went to the study, and Su Muge went to check the situation in the drug-making house.

The pharmaceutical methods were as secret as the martial arts techniques, so all the five pharmacists were working separately. n.o.body was willing to tell others about their unique skills.

Su Muge would dispense the medicines they had made and make them into applicable medicines.

“Your Grace, Madam Duke Qing asks to see you. His Royal Highness asks you if you want to see her.” A guard came to send the message.

Su Muge didn’t stop working and filled a package of medicine powder into a porcelain bottle. “What’s up?”

She wouldn’t come and see her for no reason.

“Madam Duke Qing said that you had helped her before but she had never thanked you face-to-face. Today, she is coming to thank you, Your Grace.”

Su Muge took a cloth and wiped her hands. Duke Qing had specially sent a box of medicine seedlings to Su Mansion before. This time, Madam Duke Qing must be here for something else.

“Invite Duke Qing Madam into the mansion. I’ll go back in a moment.”

“Yes.”

Su Muge wiped her hands and asked w.a.n.g Yi to collect the finished medicine she had made today before returning to Jin Mansion.
