Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 295

The Marquis of Changguo's residence.

After the reward for medical treatment for the old lady of the Marquis of Changguo was widely distributed, quite a few doctors did come to the door.

Some were genuine; after examining the old lady of the Marquis of Changguo, they said they couldn't cure her and had to give up. Others were simply frauds, claiming to be some kind of miracle doctor, exaggerating their medical skills to the skies, just to swindle the huge sums of money offered by the Marquis of Changguo's household.

But Marquis Changguo was no ordinary man. With his sharp eyes, he easily saw through these swindlers, and in the end, none of them met a good end.

As the incidents occurred repeatedly, Marquis Changguo inevitably grew increasingly anxious.

The old lady of the Marquis of Changguo's health is deteriorating day by day, and she is on the verge of passing away. Despite offering such a high reward, not a single miracle doctor can be found; those who come to her door are either mediocre or fraudsters.

It was at this moment that Shen Lingjun, disguised, arrived at the Marquis of Changguo's residence.

She deliberately dressed very plainly because those legendary masters in the martial arts world often do the opposite and don't care much about these external things.

However, his calm and confident demeanor was clearly different from those of the people who had come before.

Marquis Changguo could certainly see through it, but he had seen too many charlatans these days, so he remained cautious about Shen Lingjun.

He asked, with barely perfunctory politeness, "Madam, what is your name?"

Shen Lingjun said calmly, "My name is not worth mentioning, so I won't go into it. I am the last disciple of Elder Xingju."

As she spoke, she took out an amber pendant.

Upon hearing this, both Marquis Changguo and Chu Tianming beside him changed their expressions, their faces filled with shock.

The renowned name of the Old Man of Apricot and Orange was well-known even to those in the imperial court. He was once the most outstanding physician in the land, capable of bringing the dead back to life and even snatching people from the jaws of death.

However, the old man Xingju passed away a few years ago, and after his death, his three disciples also disappeared, and the medical skills were lost.

Now, one of his disciples has actually appeared in the world?

Chu Tianming stared at the amber pendant in disbelief.

He knew that this amber pendant was a symbol of the lineage of Elder Xingju, and that each of his three disciples possessed one.

Amber can be used in medicine, and Yi amber is the best among them. "The most expensive amber is called Yi, which is red with a slight black tinge. However, it appears black in the daytime but becomes very red under lamplight."

This amber pendant, under natural light, appears as a deep, blood-red color, while its interior is as black as ink; it is clearly no ordinary object. This is absolutely an authentic piece that cannot be imitated.

Moreover, Chu Tianming had also heard that the Elder Xingju did indeed have a closed-door female disciple, but her identity was quite mysterious.

Chu Tianming nodded to Marquis Changguo to indicate his confirmation, then turned to Shen Lingjun, his attitude immediately becoming solemn and respectful.

"So it turns out that Madam is a descendant of Mr. Xingju. My apologies."

Shen Lingjun: "No need to be so polite. Take me to see the patient."

She revealed her identity as a disciple of the Elder Xingju here to intimidate Marquis Changguo and his group.
