After arriving at the clinic, she made all the necessary arrangements and then went to find Zheng Shouwei.

The matter she asked Zheng Shouwei to do last night was to have him take her cloth bag out of the inn and keep it for her until she came back today to retrieve it.

"Thank you, Guard Zheng." Fang Qingyou thanked Guard Zheng and took the bag.

As expected, Zheng Shouwei was reliable. There were no signs that the bag had been opened, and its weight was exactly the same as yesterday.

Zheng Shouwei helped Fang Qingyou load the cloth bag onto the carriage. He saw a young medicine boy sitting upright inside the carriage, but he didn't think much of it at the time. After putting down the cloth bag, he looked away.

"Such a small matter, Miss Fang, you don't need to be so polite with me. I just wonder how the old man's health is now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Guard Zheng. Grandpa is much better now, but he doesn't remember anything about what happened yesterday. I will take better care of him from now on and try my best not to let him cause any more trouble for Guard Zheng."

"It won't cause any trouble at all, as long as the old man is alright." Zheng Shouwei laughed heartily, then paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Miss Fang, haven't we met somewhere before? You look somewhat familiar."

Fang Qingyou once again activated her shameless lying skill: "Huh? Really? I don't remember that."

Zheng Shouwei was slightly embarrassed: "Then I must have remembered it wrong."

Fang Qingyou shook her head, a playful smile on her lips: "But actually, Zheng Shouwei, you're not entirely wrong. Didn't we already meet yesterday?"

Zheng Shouwei was taken aback at first, but then burst into laughter: "Haha, yes, Miss Fang is right, we did meet yesterday."

That laugh wiped away the awkwardness as well.

At this point, Fang Qingyou bid farewell to Zheng Shouwei, saying, "Zheng Shouwei, thank you for yesterday. I have other things to do today, so I'll be leaving now. See you another day."

Zheng Shouwei nodded vigorously and said, "Okay. Miss Fang, you go ahead with your work. I'll be patrolling this area. If you need anything, please feel free to come and find me."

"Yes, until we meet again." Fang Qingyou nodded slightly, turned around, lifted the curtain, and got into the carriage.

The carriage had barely moved away when the young medicine boy pulled the cloth bag in front of him.

Open it and search through it.

This person was not a medicine boy at all, but Xiaoyaozi disguised as a young medicine boy.

Xiaoyaozi insisted on following Fang Qingyou, and in order to avoid being recognized by Zheng Shouwei, he disguised himself as this young medicine boy.

However, he only looked like her little follower on the outside, but he didn't have any awareness of being a little follower.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but wonder if her Master Xiong always felt stuffy with a disguise on his face in the sweltering summer heat.

Xiaoyaozi rummaged through the bag for a while, then pushed it in front of Fang Qingyou with disdain: "My good disciple, is this all you picked out from Young Master Wu?"

Seeing his disdainful expression, Fang Qingyou rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Master, each of these items is worth a fortune! Not everyone is like you, having seen countless rare treasures!"

These items are the best in Wu Sha's treasure vault. Any one of them would be enough to make countless people envious if taken outside. There are probably few in the world who would be as disdainful of them as Xiaoyaozi.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's mournful expression, Xiaoyaozi smiled and comforted her, "My good disciple, when the opportunity comes in the future, your master will give you more things and let you see what good things are."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou immediately stretched out her hand in front of Xiaoyaozi: "Master, people say there's no time like the present, so why don't we do it today!"

Xiaoyaozi was taken aback at first, then chuckled and pushed Fang Qingyou's hand aside: "Good disciple, another day, another day, my dear!"

"Hmph." Fang Qingyou reluctantly withdrew her hand. Her master disliked her things and wondered if he was just saying he would give her nice things.

On the way, as she passed through a bustling street, Fang Qingyou overheard people discussing what had happened the previous night.

"Hey, have you heard? There was a ghost story in Kyoto yesterday."

"Where is the ghost? I heard that someone dressed up as a ghost in the middle of the night to scare people, and was eventually caught."

"Is that so? Who is it that would do something so pointless?"

"It seems to be Miss Fang's grandfather. That old man is mentally ill."

"Miss Fang? I remember Miss Fang is Lord Fang's daughter, right? That old man used to be a high-ranking official, how could he suddenly get this kind of illness?"

"Who knows? Maybe he did too many bad things and got his comeuppance."

Hearing this, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Xiaoyaozi's outburst last night did have some benefits after all.

And now, that old fox from the Fang family has taken the blame.

Haha, it seems that from today onwards, everyone in Kyoto will know that Old Master Fang is mentally ill.

However, shouldn't the word "boring" be replaced with "perverted"?

Xiaoyaozi chuckled smugly, "My good disciple, what do you think? See how prescient I was? I tricked that black-hearted old fox! Haha—"

"Master, I give you countless thumbs up!" Fang Qingyou quickly gave Xiaoyaozi a thumbs up. It was rare for Master Xiong to do something so pleasing.

After returning to the clinic and arranging things, Fang Qingyou went into her consultation room.

Just as Fang Qingyou was about to close the door, Xiaoyaozi insisted on moving closer to her.

"Master, I'm going to study medicine now. You can go about your business."

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll stay with you. If you encounter any difficulties during your studies, I can guide you."

"Master, no need, I can manage on my own."

"It's so good to have your teacher by your side."

"Master, can you leave me alone for a while?" Fang Qingyou was almost in tears; she really wanted to be alone.

However, as I said before, don't ask her who Jingjing is.

"My good disciple..."

Seeing Xiaoyaozi's stubbornness, Fang Qingyou knew he wouldn't give up. Suddenly, a bright idea flashed through her mind, and she quickly pointed in a direction outside and said, "Wow! Master, look over there! There's an absolutely stunning beauty there! Tsk tsk, so beautiful!"

Before Fang Qingyou could finish speaking, she saw Xiaoyaozi turn his head in that direction.

Then, Fang Qingyou took the opportunity to quickly close the door tightly.

Fang Qingyou was secretly delighted. She had only intended to give it a try, but she hadn't expected it to actually work.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Master Xiong is a man, and there's a high chance he likes beautiful women. Given his arrogant nature, probably only an exceptionally beautiful woman could win him over.
