As expected, Shi Yiyi didn't ask any more questions, but nodded and said, "I'll write to you once the steel plate is removed and the condition is restored."

Dong Xiaoshuang shook her head and said, "Master, I plan to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and then go to see Master Jiang."

Shi Yiyi looked Dong Xiaoshuang up and down and shook her head, saying, "You're too impatient. You can't even walk right now, how are you going? You're going to find a master to learn and study, not to have someone take care of you."

Dong Xiaoshuang hesitated for a moment. She knew, of course, that it wasn't appropriate for her to be discharged too early. But when she thought about the unpleasant things she would encounter during her hospitalization and the bad romantic prospects she might have in the future, Dong Xiaoshuang remained determined to leave the hospital.

“It’s alright, Master. I’ll hire a caregiver to take care of me after I get to G City.” Dong Xiaoshuang thought for a moment and continued, “I may have difficulty walking, but it doesn’t mean I can’t think straight. I can still do research and study in the lab without any problems.”

Dong Xiaoshuang sighed and said, "Besides, I really don't want to stay in Q City right now."

Shi Yiyi was silent for a while, but finally nodded and said, "Alright, study hard and forget about all the bad things. If you can't make it in Q City, try G City. Pack your things and I'll email Lao Jiang to recommend you."

"Thank you, Master." Dong Xiaoshuang said with a smile, "However, Master, there is one more thing I need your help with."

Shi Yiyi glanced at Dong Xiaoshuang with amusement and said, "This is really strange. It's rare to see you so dependent on someone."

Dong Xiaoshuang maneuvered the electric wheels to Shi Yiyi's side, grabbed Shi Yiyi's arm and said coquettishly, "Master, Master, you are like a teacher and a father. If I don't rely on Master, who else can I rely on!"

“You’ve changed a lot since this ordeal. That’s good, though. You used to be too strong-willed and too straightforward. Too much rigidity leads to breakage…” Shi Yiyi was a little sentimental and wanted to nag a bit, but then she remembered that her apprentice was still injured, so she stopped nagging.

Shi Yiyi smiled and patted Dong Xiaoshuang's hand, saying, "Tell me, is there anything your master can help you with?"

"I'd like my mentor to recommend a reliable lawyer," Dong Xiaoshuang said with utmost seriousness.

The legal profession is a murky business, and Dong Xiaoshuang doesn't want to end up being scammed.

As a renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine, Shi Yiyi has treated many patients, including many outstanding lawyers.

Whether the other party is doing it out of consideration for Shi Yiyi or out of professional ethics, I believe they can handle the financial dispute between me and Li Zihua well.

Dong Xiaoshuang didn't want to waste time meeting with that scumbag and getting into a fight. She figured she could just talk to her lawyer directly. Meeting to discuss things was unnecessary and pointless.

Shi Yiyi didn't ask any more questions. Dong Xiaoshuang had never hidden the matter of the house from those around her from the beginning.

Although Shi Yiyi had tried to persuade her, Dong Xiaoshuang was so infatuated with love that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was completely blinded by it. She truly understood the道理 (principles/reasoning), but she just wouldn't listen, and even if she did, she believed she was an exception.

Shi Yiyi didn't say anything more. Honest advice is hard to hear, and saying too much would only damage the relationship between the two masters and disciples.

Shi Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "I do have a good person I can recommend to you..."

Before Shi Yiyi could finish speaking, Dong Xiaoshuang suddenly spoke up as if she had remembered something: "It would be best if it were a woman."

Shi Yiyi looked at Dong Xiaoshuang with some surprise. Dong Xiaoshuang smiled and scratched her head, saying, "Well, women can empathize with me more."

“There are women too. I’ll arrange for you to meet her at a nearby restaurant tomorrow. You should go back and rest now.” Shi Yiyi sighed and said, “I know you want to resolve this matter as soon as possible, but it can’t be rushed. You’re still injured, so resting is the most important thing.”

Shi Yiyi stood up and pushed Dong Xiaoshuang's wheelchair, saying, "Leave the recommendation letter and finding a lawyer to me. Now I'll take you back to your ward."

Dong Xiaoshuang turned to Shi Yiyi and said, "Master, it's alright, I can drive the wheelchair back myself, no need to trouble yourself..."

Shi Yiyi gently patted Dong Xiaoshuang's shoulder and said, "It's okay. I've just finished my shift for today. I'll stay here and see who dares to disturb my peaceful sleep."

"Master." Dong Xiaoshuang looked at Shi Yiyi with some emotion, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Perhaps due to blood loss from the surgery, Dong Xiaoshuang was indeed quite sleepy. Shi Yiyi helped Dong Xiaoshuang lie down on the bed, and soon Dong Xiaoshuang drifted off to sleep.

When the nurse came to administer the IV, Shi Yiyi was sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed, sending emails on her phone.

Since Dong Xiaoshuang needed to receive an IV drip, it was natural to wake her up. Although Shi Yiyi wanted Dong Xiaoshuang to sleep a little longer, she couldn't break the verification process.

Dong Xiaoshuang was woken up. Although she was still a little groggy, she obediently cooperated with the nurse to complete the pre-infusion verification task.

When the IV drip officially started, Dong Xiaoshuang's mind cleared up. She smiled at Shi Yiyi and said, "Master, why don't you go back and rest? I've already hired a caregiver. It's fine for you to stay in the ward by yourself."

"It's alright," Shi Yiyi said with a smile. "Go see that lawyer at 10:30 tomorrow morning, and I'll help you with your discharge procedures. It's fine not to stay in this hospital; you can stay with your master for now. Once you can walk with crutches a little better, you can go to G City to find Old Jiang."

"Master, isn't this inappropriate?" Dong Xiaoshuang said somewhat embarrassedly.

She originally planned to rent a house for a month or two after being discharged from the hospital, and then go to find Jiang Guoshou after everything was settled. She never thought of moving to her master's house.

Shi Yiyi joked, "What, you think Master's house is too small?"

"How could I dare to complain about Master's small house?" Dong Xiaoshuang shook her head and said, "I just feel it's too much trouble for Master."

Shi Yiyi's home is the small house that the hospital assigned to her when she first joined the hospital. Even after she became a national expert in traditional Chinese medicine, she never moved.

The houses that companies allocated to newlywed employees twenty or thirty years ago were naturally not very big.

As for Shi Yiyi's husband, he had already sacrificed his life ten years ago during a medical support mission for earthquake relief. Shi Yiyi's son is studying abroad and lives alone in the old house, so he can spare a room for Dong Xiaoshuang.

The dormitory was built by the company 20 or 30 years ago, and there was no elevator. Dong Xiaoshuang is now a little inconvenient to move around, and she really doesn't know how to go upstairs.

However, there is no problem in this world that money cannot solve. At worst, we can just pay someone to carry Dong Xiaoshuang up.

Just thinking about that scene made Dong Xiaoshuang feel a little scared.
