"Miss Lu must be the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. Otherwise, how could we control the epidemic so quickly?"

"I heard that thousands of people died in Pingzhou and Chongzhou. If it weren't for Miss Lu's prescription, I estimate that more people would have died later."

"Thanks to Miss Lu. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only a dozen people killed in Xilin County."

"Miss Lu is our savior."

"Who is qualified to marry a girl like Miss Lu?"

"Who can marry her? Apart from the princes and ministers, the emperor's sons and grandsons, I think no one in this world is worthy of her."

"I heard that Miss Lu is extremely beautiful..."

"A golden phoenix is ​​about to fly out of our Xilin County."

……

The rumors that followed became more and more outrageous.

They said that no man in the world was worthy of her. They praised her as a peerless beauty who could only marry into a wealthy family.

"What's going on?" Lu Ke'er was a little angry. "Who spread this rumor?"

A trace of melancholy flashed across Qiu Shui's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water: "Miss, Qiu Shui thinks that this matter is not simple, and it seems that someone is behind it and fanning the flames."

These days, Lu Ke'er lived in Pinxianlou, so she took the initiative to follow Lu Ke'er and serve her.

Lu Ke'er asked Rong Zhixing: "Mr. Rong, didn't I make it very clear at the beginning? The prescription was developed by me, so don't publicize it. If anyone asks, just say it was developed by Xuanhu Pavilion. Why do everyone know it was me now?"

Rong Zhixing glanced at Ye Feng, who had been silent the entire time, and his eyes dodged: "This... this..."

Lu Ke'er was in a dilemma: "Saving lives is the duty of a doctor. What's so good about it? Wherever I go now, people who know me will bow to me and thank me. I don't even dare to go out on the street."

Yu Qianjing also looked at Ye Feng, then sighed: "Now that things have come to this, don't be angry. In fact, this matter can't be hidden in the end. Successfully preventing and controlling the epidemic is an unparalleled achievement. The court will definitely reward you for this in the future. Xuanhu Pavilion can't lie to the emperor, and will report the truth sooner or later."

Lu Ke'er was anxious: "What about those rumors about who I'm going to marry? It's obvious that someone is deliberately leading this. What does this person mean?"

As a modern person who has lived in obscurity for 25 years and is used to keeping a low profile, Lu Ke'er does not want to be famous. She just wants to live her life leisurely and comfortably, and she does not want to bear too much responsibility and the attention of the world.

However, now in ancient times, the life attitude that she had always adhered to was broken.

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when, at this moment, a servant came to report that there were two scholars outside the building who wanted to see Miss Lu.

"Scholar?" Lu Ke'er's mind flashed with Wei Jinzhi's figure. She remembered that he also lived in Jinji Town, so she thought it was him and replied, "Please invite them in."

It was not until the servant brought people to the reception hall in the backyard that Lu Ke'er realized what a big mistake she had made.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ke'er felt even worse.

The person who came was Su Qizhen, and the scholar who came with him was his companion whom he met in the bookstore last time.

Su Qizhen and Jiang Bo were standing in the magnificent and elegant meeting hall. They were stunned when they saw the young men with noble temperament and outstanding appearance in the hall.

The two of them held their breath involuntarily, not daring to even breathe.

Su Qizhen's eyes looked around tremblingly, and finally fell on Lu Keer.

After just a few days of not seeing each other, Lu Ke'er has become even more beautiful. Her skin is whiter than snow, her black hair is like clouds. Her pair of phoenix eyes are as bright as thousands of stars falling into them, dazzling.

Su Qi was choking on his breath and stared at Lu Ke'er blankly, not moving a muscle.

That dazzled look made everyone present frown slightly.

Ye Feng tapped the table with his fingers with a "dong" sound and glanced at him coldly.

As soon as the pressure from the superior was released, except for Lu Ke'er, almost everyone present felt a suffocating and heavy atmosphere, and they all fell silent.

Su Qizheng's knees went weak and he could hardly stand, so he wanted to kneel down.

At the last moment, he suddenly woke up, gritted his teeth, and struggled to stand.

"Who are you?" Ye Feng spoke slowly, his voice cold and distant, "What do you want from Ke'er?"

"I...I..." Su Qizheng's eyes met Ye Feng's, and he quickly shifted his gaze back to Lu Ke'er, "I am Lu Ke'er's fiancé..."

"Su Qizheng! Can't you save some face for yourself?" Lu Ke'er interrupted him angrily, "How can you be my fiancé? We have no relationship at all! Your father came to my house in person to cancel the engagement. What? Don't you remember?"

Su Qizheng's face flushed red: "Even if the engagement is cancelled, you were once my fiancée, so I have the responsibility to give you some advice."

Yu Qianjing sneered: "What a joke! Since the engagement has been cancelled, you two have nothing to do with each other. From now on, men and women will get married and have nothing to do with each other!"

"You, who are you?" Su Qizhen wanted to ask righteously, but when he saw Yu Qianjing in brocade clothes, with an extraordinary temperament, a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes looking at him with a smile and a face full of sarcasm, Su Qizhen couldn't help but lose his arrogance.

"You are not qualified to ask who I am." Yu Qianjing said coldly, "Miss Lu is not someone that anyone can see. Tell me, what do you want?"

Su Qi suppressed his anger and snorted at Lu Ke'er, "Lu Ke'er, the epidemic is raging and the people are in danger. The person who provided the prescription has done a great deed. How could you be so shameless as to spread the word that you developed the prescription? And take the credit for someone else's work for yourself? You...you disappoint me so much!"

Lu Ke'er's eyes widened.

Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Mr. Su, what basis do you have to say that the prescription was not developed by Miss Lu?" Rong Zhixing sneered, "You don't know Miss Lu at all, how can you make such a statement?"

"How could I not understand her?" Su Qizheng shouted with his neck stiff, "She has been timid and self-deprecating since she was a child. She is taciturn and just a country girl. She is vulgar and ignorant. Otherwise, I would not have broken off the engagement. Her family..."

He wanted to continue speaking, but he caught a glimpse of Lu Ke'er's cold almond-shaped eyes staring at him mockingly, and his voice suddenly stopped.

What he just said was all about the Lu Keer of the past.

But now Lu Ke'er seemed like a noble lady who had taken off her simple clothes and put on colorful clothes, making the world look up to her.

"She...she doesn't know anything about medicine, how can she develop a prescription?"

Su Qi was feeling extremely unwilling and angry.

She was the girl he didn't want, she should have been humbled. His choice would not be wrong.

Why? Why was everything out of his control? Why did he always think of her these days? He thought of her completely different personality, her completely different behavior and reactions. He also thought of her confidence and style that could not be ignored.

Even his good friend Jiang Bo repeatedly reminded him: "Qi Zheng, your family really made a mistake this time. How could your family cancel the engagement with such a capable and beautiful fiancée?"
