Medical Princess

“Since you eagerly want to learn medicine, you should show your sincerity!” Jingxin Monastery master said with a glance and a smile which embraced profound meanings. Then she closed her eyes and started to recite the sutra with beads rolling in her hands.

Unexpectedly, she put on a face that showed her reluctance to talk with Qin Wanru.

A nun walked in, and she folded her hands respectably to Qin Wanru, “Second Miss Qin, please!”

Qin Wanru had to leave as she saw Jingxin Monastery master went into her meditation already.

She walked out of the room, Qing Yue followed her in a hurry and asked with concerns, “Miss, why did you find Jingxin Monastery master to do?”

“Nothing!” Qin Wanru stood by the door and shook her head. However, she didn’t leave but looking down to the other side, where the land of grass came into her sight. If she walked further, she could also see a corner of the hut.

Qing Yue saw it too, but she was stopped by Qin Wanru’s smile when she was about to say anything. Qin Wanru turned around and walked back. Her eyes squinted slightly and thought if Jingxin Monastery master was attempting to examine her sincerity.

The medical book on the platform, her medical book?

The medical books but obviously belonged to the same set.

What did it mean?

Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in her mind, the medical book laying on the platform was the critical point because Jingxin Monastery master became much more amiable and talkative after she asked about that book. So was it admission to her?

It was not enough that Jingxin Monastery master approved her. She wanted to get trained by the best medical teacher, who was the Mingqiu Nun. Therefore, she required her approval as well.

On the way back to her room, Qin Wanru kept considering this question. After she sat down, an idea suddenly came upon her as her medical book was taken away by Chu Liuchen unreasonably.

Where was the mysterious Chu Liuchen? It was easy for him to find her but never easy for her to see him.

How to find Chu Liuchen on earth while staying at home at the same time? This was the critical problem, but Qin Wanru couldn’t solve it.

She thought for a while and finally decided to talk with grandma. If anyone knew anything about Chu Liuchen, that person could only be Old Grandma!

When Qin Wanru went into her room, Old Grandma’s medicine was ready. She took medicine from the young girl servant and sat on the stool by the bed. Blowing the hot burning medicine liquid down to the right temperature, she served and fed Old Grandma the medicine liquid by a spoon. After Old Grandma finished her medicine, girl servant took the bowl, and Qin Wanru picked up a towel using it to wipe Old Grandma’s lips gently.

“Grandma, why is Aunt Shui not here?” She put down the towel and looked around curiously and asked. Usually, Shui Ruolan would be here at this time.

“I asked her to go down the mountain to prepare for the wedding ceremony!” Old Grandma smiled, which indicated that she was in a good mood, and her voice was not that hoarse anymore.

“Leaving the mountain now?” Qin Wanru asked randomly and her eyes lit up. She held Old Grandma’s hands and said happily, “Will Aunt Shui marry into our family?”

“Yes, your father agreed already, and the wedding will be held recently. I am free here, Zhuozhuo is taking care of me, so I asked her to get prepared. This is a right and decent marriage though it was in a rush. However, we couldn’t abandon the rules and regulations. I am afraid that your Aunt Shui didn’t understand many rules, so I asked Nanny Duan to follow her to go down the mountain as well!”

Old Grandma smiled and caressed Qin Wanru’s hands, then she said amiably, “from now on, you’ll have Aunt Shui as your company. She’ll protect you. I could have protected you as I did in the old days, but I’m old if I… then your marriage would be gossiped and schemed in the future, which will toil hard all your life, so I dare not to be perfunctory!”

Qin Wanru lowered her head slightly to hide the disappointment and coldness in her eyes. In her previous life, her marriage was controlled by Madam Di, and now because of the accident here in Jiangzhou, her marriage went through ups and downs, including engagement, breaking up, re-engagement, and breaking up again, and again. She undertook three times’ breaking up in engagement, which would ruin her reputation no matter how good she was, and not mention that she was obliterated.

Madam Di controlled her marriage in the name of her mother, which made nobody wanted to marry her but ended up her marrying into Zuo Mansion only for warding off imminent death and bringing happiness to the mansion at last.

“Grandma, don’t be worried this time because I have Aunt Shui. And Aunt Shui has me on her side to help her take care of you and be filial, so you’ll live long!” When Qin Wanru lifted her head again, she was smiling already. She reached to hold Old Grandma’s hand and her look was filled with her affection and respect towards Old Grandma which made her eyes went wet.

She was such a good kid, how could Madam Di do something so vicious like that.

“Grandma, are you going back to the capital city?” Qin Wanru’s thick and long eyelashes fluttered and asked with a smile.

“Zhuozhuo was so smart, maybe soon. Your father’s job transfer order would come soon!” Old Grandma nodded her head and showed a bright smile. At least the situation was not bad now. She would not be worried as Ruolan was raising Zhuozhuo. Although Ruolan, as the second wife, was a little bit lower than Madam Di, she was a legal wife, who could help her protect Zhuozhuo.

“Did anyone send a message from the capital city?” Qin Wanru shook Old Grandma’s hands and asked like a spoiled child, and her big black eyes made Old Grandma felt so worried about her.

“Don’t be upset, Zhuozhuo. This thing is real!” Old Grandma thought Qin Wanru didn’t want to stay in Jiangzhou after all those accidents.

“How could grandma be so assured that someone from the capital city is visiting us?” Qin Wanru, blinked her eyes happily and asked.

“Yes!” Old Grandma laughed and caressed her hair. Even if she was not her grandchild, Old Grandma still loved her so much because this kid was both good-looking and cute, and she was only a little bit naughty but still behaved well and would never have evil ideas.

“Who? Can grandma tell me how sent the message? Duke Yong Mansion?” Qin Wanru asked like a spoiled kid.

On seeing her innocent look, Old Grandma smiled and replied randomly, “Not only Duke Yong Mansion but another distinguished person in the capital city also delivered the message.”

Old Grandma had no good feeling about Duke Yong because of Madam Di.

“Is someone from the capital city visiting us? Will he live in our mansion?” Deliberately, Qin Wanru looked very curious and made up her decision to figure it out which, however, was totally like a kid asking in a randomly.

“He lived in the mansion for a short time and left now.” Old Grandma surely couldn’t tell a kid an essential thing like this, so she just mumbled her words and said.

Qin Wanru suddenly felt nervous, and her face turned pale, couldn’t… couldn’t he leave in this critical moment?

“Where did he go, grandma? Did that man from the capital city go back? Qin Wanru blinked her eyes, which made her long eyelashes almost touch Old Grandma’s palm.

“He didn’t go back yet. I heard he is living in the accommodation, but I didn’t know anything else. This is your father’s business. You’re just little girl. How come you have so many questions?” Old Grandma flicked her finger on Wanru’s head and criticized her with a laugh.

Old Grandma knew all these only because Qin Huaiyong revealed some information to her, but she didn’t know the real identity of Chu Liuchen.

Although Old Grandma was criticizing her, her voice and movements were both very gentle which didn’t have an influence on her. Qin Wanru pretended to be an innocent kid knowing nothing and talked with Old Grandma for a while. When she saw Old Grandma looked a little bit tired, she left the room.

She walked outside and asked some girl servants and old women to serve Old Grandma in all efforts, and then she left.

Last night, Chu Liuchen went to her room and left in the morning. Could that accommodation be someone near Jingxin Monastery?

She suddenly remembered father did have an accommodation nearby because when she accompanied grandma to rest in Jingxin Monastery, father would stay over night in an accommodation nearby.

“Qing Yue, where would father live when he arrived late in Jingxin Monastery in the past? Do you know?” Qin Wanru thought and asked.

There was a time when father left very late, and Qing Yue once sent him out of Jingxin Monastery.

“I knew, General had accommodation in our mansion for rest. And I asked the servants beside General who said he lived in accommodation at the back of the mountain.” Qing Yue followed Qin Wanru to go outside and said.

“Do you know how to get there?” Qin Wanru felt relieved and thought it would be great as long as Chu Liuchen didn’t leave.

“I knew some but not all of them. I used to send general to an intersection at the back mountain of Jingxin Monastery, and I saw a yard far away, but I didn’t know that was the one!” Qing Yue thought and said. She didn’t send general to the yard that time as the general asked her to stop and go back home far away from the yard.

“Go check it!” Qin Wanru made up her mind, so she turned around and went to the back mountain of Jingxin Monastery.

She didn’t know why Chu Liuchen came to Jiangzhou and also had no clues about the time he would leave. If he really left, where would she find him? That medical book was essential to her medical learning so that she couldn’t lose it.

“Yes, Miss! I’ll check the situation in front of us, so Miss doesn’t go now!” Qing Yue nodded her head and trotted ahead of Qin Wanru to lead her way. Although she didn’t know what Qin Wanru was planning to do, her miss said that, so she had to be obedient to her. Qing Yue now had solid faith in Qin Wanru.

Servant and master were walking towards the back of the mountain one by one. They turned to the path which Qing Yue still remembered and then went through the forest. Then they saw a yard far away.

The accommodation didn’t have a large yard or a high wall, and it looked desolated which shared many similarities with the yard of Jingxin Monastery. Qin Wanru walked to the door, and she even saw a few strings of smoked bacon hanging under the roof. It looked like a normal family during the New Year festival.

The only inconsistency with the simple yard was a beautiful lad wearing a red gown.

Sitting in the solely wooden lounge chair in the yard, he closed his eyes and rocked the lounge chair, which made him look very carefree. Having a book by his hand, Qin Wanru found that book was familiar to her and she knew it directly. That book was her medical book which he snatched from her.

The lad wore a sophisticated appearance which portrayed elegance. His red gown made this handsome lad walking out of an ink-landscape much more colorful, showing his deep-rooted dignity and his elegant distinguished status. All of those elements mingled together contributing to this coordinative picture as if he was born to look like this.

“Did you see me enough? If so, then come in!” Chu Liuchen didn’t even open his eyes but knew someone was standing by the door.
