Lin Yuan was speechless.
He was the one who wanted to introduce the traveling doctor, right? Why did this annoying man had to take the credit for himself?
"Would you like to go by carriage, Young Miss?" Merchant Lin resisted the urge to lash out at Long Qian Xing. He knew that he would only end up in the worse end of the stick if he tried to do anything funny.
Nan Hua squinted her eyes. "We'll walk."
"I understand, Young Miss."
Taking a carriage would make it easy for others to recognize that she was going out of Nan Family. As the young miss of Nan Family, it was not easy for her to go out unnoticed, so walking around would be better.
Feng Ao Kuai looked at Long Qian Xing fiercely. "Please take care of my sister."
"Please be assured that I'll not harm her, Second Young Master Feng." Long Qian Xing smiled.
Watching the group disappeared into the distance, Feng Ao Kuai then turned to look at his servant. His expression was solemn. "Don't let anyone get close to Grandfather's room for now. Also, send someone to inspect the herbs."
Feng Ao Kuai would not trust anyone easily, especially those who get close to him and his family members. He looked at the door where Old Master Nan and Old Madam Long were staying and wondered.
Would there be someone stupid in the future who would try to frame them?
Walking out of the residence, Nan Hua took the veil that the servant prepared for her. Even though she didn't necessarily like it, it was the custom here for unmarried young lady to wear veil when they got out.
"Young Miss, please follow me."
"Don't go too far." Long Qian Xing looked at Lin Yuan and shook his head. "Don't walk too fast."
Lin Yuan was speechless. He was sure that he was already walking slow enough. Did he need to start crawling now so that he would be slow enough?
Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. Truthfully, she was fine with this pace. It was not like she was a weak girl who couldn't do anything. However, she chose not to say anything when she saw Long Qian Xing chided Lin Yuan.
The Capital City was big and they stopped before a rather small building.
"Traveling Doctor Liu is inside. However, he didn't usually like to meet with any guest." Lin Yuan bit his tongue at the end of his sentence. He really wanted to say that Old Madam Long had to extort a large amount of money when she came here last time and ended up quarreling with the doctor.
However, saying that wouldn't be beneficial for the old madam's reputation.
Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes. He had gone here with his grandmother last time but he felt that there were several pairs of eyes watching him from the darkness. It seemed that the people here were wary of him.
Well, considering that his grandmother nearly asked him to flatten this place back then, it was not strange.
"Young Master, you come here again." a young man stepped forward. He was dressed in light green clothes. Because of staying in a place where herbs were common, he looked quite young. At the same time, the thick smell of herbs could be smelled from him.
Nan Hua looked at the young man… no 'young' man in front of her.
Long Qian Xing smiled. "Apprentice Doctor Shan, I'm looking for Doctor Liu."
"Master is busy." Apprentice Doctor Shan smiled back. He looked at the other two in front of him as his eyebrows arched. "Is this young lady the patient? If that's the case, I can treat her myself."
"This one greets Apprentice Doctor Shan. The patient is not me. I come here for my grandfather," Nan Hua replied politely.
Apprentice Doctor Shan looked at the young girl in front of him. Even though he couldn't tell what was wrong from her expression since she controlled it well, he could guess that the young girl in front of him was not exactly living well. As for the detail, he would require deeper check.
"Young Lady, my master will not come out easily. He'll not be willing to treat ordinary people."
Nan Hua was silent for a moment before taking off her bracelet and also a bottle of poison that she had concocted. Aside from those that she smeared to her needles, there were some that she separated.
Some of them were left behind in some place as she didn't carry everything. As for this bottle, it carried the poison that she used to control Fei Mao and the other two. This kind of poison shouldn't exist in this era yet, so she might be able to attract his attention.
"I only have this with me. Can I trouble you to please ask your master whether he can spare some of his time to check on my grandfather with these?" Nan Hua asked softly.
She was not rich, and she didn't really like to use many accessories. This bracelet was an exception that Xiao Yun slipped to her when she said that there would be guest.
"If it's not enough, I can give my jewelries at home…"
Nan Hua began to feel that she should have just bring her entire box here.
Apprentice Doctor Shan really wanted to say that his master didn't lack money. But facing the sincere request of the young girl in front of him, he could only sigh. "Please wait here, Young Miss. I'll inquire my master."
"Many thanks for your help, Apprentice Doctor Shan."
Lin Yuan watched and then turned to look at Long Qian Xing. "I can't believe she pass by that blockhead barrier faster."
"That just prove that she's better than you."
"Why are you comparing with me?" Lin Yuan was speechless once more.
He should have compared with his grandmother and not him, ah!
Long Qian Xing chose to ignore Lin Yuan directly.
