Chapter 172: Is Miss Smith Jealous?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Su Yingxue returned to the clinic, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She saw a few patients, but she couldn’t quell the bitterness in her heart.
She decided to head to the study in the backyard to read some medical books and calm down, but she sensed a hint of danger in the air.
Without hesitation, she kicked the door open and found Zi Wei facing off against several individuals inside.
Su Yingxue widened her eyes. “Hong Lian, what do you think you’re doing?”
Several black-clad assassins immediately closed in on her, forming a protective circle around Hong Lian.
Hong Lian sneered. “Naturally, we’re here to reclaim what belongs to our Silver Moon Pavilion.”
“You’re dreaming! This is my clinic, and there’s nothing here that belongs to your Silver Moon Pavilion. Get out!” Su Yingxue shouted angrily.
“Honorable Miss Su, Genius Doctor Su why so much anger? Could it be that you’re jealous of the favor Your Highness shows me?” Hong Lian’s lips curled with pride.
It wasn’t pride in her role as the Silver Moon Pavilion’s leader but rather pride in her victory in their previous encounter.
Su Yingxue, aware that Hong Lian couldn’t see, adjusted her breathing and chuckled. “Hong Lian, before 1 poisoned you, I never imagined that the poison would not only narrow your eyes but also thicken your skin.”
“Hmph! Su Yingxue, do you think that your quick tongue can change the fact that Your Highness treats me well?” Hong Lian’s voice dripped with disdain.
“Why should 1 bother changing something that doesn’t concern me? If he truly treats you well, then why are you still blind?” Su Yingxue had an innate talent for provoking people. The stupidity of her past life had given way to sharp wit in this one.
Her motto was simple, If someone didn’t bother her, she wouldn’t bother them. But if someone crossed her…
Hong Lian’s anger flared, and she waved her hand, ordering, “Find it! If you can’t, take all the books from here!”
“Are you looking for my mother’s diary? No need. I didn’t put it here. Where I’ve hidden it, you’ll never find it,” Su Yingxue said, crossing her arms.
“It’s either in this clinic or the Marquis’s Manor. Su Yingxue, do you think I wouldn’t dare to enter the Marquis’s Manor?” Hong Lian gritted her teeth. She had led the Silver Moon Pavilion for so long, and nobody had dared to be so audacious in front of her.
“If you want to enter the Marquis’s Manor, 1 can take you there. But even if 1 gave you a month, you wouldn’t find my mother’s diary, even if you dug three feet into the Marquis’s Manor.”
Su Yingxue informed her calmly that she was the only one who could enter the Medicine King’s Valley within her consciousness.
Not to mention digging three feet into the Marquis’s Manor, even if Hong Lian dug three feet into the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, she still wouldn’t find it.
“Su Yingxue, just you wait! The day 1 regain my sight will be the day of your death!” Hong Lian left those words behind and departed under the guard of her assassins.
Su Yingxue’s heart sank slightly. Hong Lian’s words posed no real threat to her, but they served as a reminder.
With Hong Lian’s skills, she could always find someone to cure the poison. However, during the time she had been blind…
She wouldn’t be able to oversee every aspect of the Silver Moon Pavilion.
She could infiltrate the Silver Moon Pavilion once more.
Once inside the Silver Moon Pavilion, she would discover who exactly had come to trade and buy her mother’s handwritten letter.
“Zi Wei,” Su Yingxue called softly, and the shadowy figure immediately moved to her side.
Su Yingxue winked at him. “Tonight, we’re going to the Silver Moon Pavilion.”
Zi Wei nodded.
After night fell, Su Yingxue donned a black robe that blended seamlessly with the night, just like Zi Wei. Under his guidance, they infiltrated the Silver Moon Pavilion.
The terrain was complex, and security was tight. Su Yingxue had to remain vigilant for any poisoned traps in the security. After all, the Silver Moon Pavilion’s trade network was extensive, and all kinds of poisons could be traded here.
Their defenses might also employ these tactics..
