Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

When Mu Xue saw Wu Ying walk in, she asked, "Uncle Wu, is something the matter?"

Wu Ying nodded and said, "Manager Liu from the Treasure Pavilion has come looking for me. He says he has something important to report and asks me to make sure you see him."

"Me?" Mu Xue pointed to herself in surprise.

“Yes, that’s right,” Wu Ying confirmed.

"What does Liu Ming want with me?" Mu Xue asked curiously.

"It must be about the eldest son of the Mu family," Wu Ying said. "These past few days, there have been rumors in the city that the eldest son of the Mu family is probably not doing well, and General Mu has sent people everywhere to inquire about the ancient doctor."

He knew that Mu Xue was the ancient doctor, so he guessed that Liu Ming had come to Mu Xue to discuss the illness of the eldest son of the Mu family.

Mu Xue had also thought of this, and she said to Su Su, "You shouldn't come with me. Everyone in the Mu family knows you, and it wouldn't be good if we were exposed."

Su Su nodded and asked, "Then should I go back and wait for Miss?"

"Uncle Wu, could you please arrange a carriage to take Susu back to Shenjing Lane? I'm going to the Mu residence now to treat the eldest young master. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, please tell Manager Liu that I won't be going out to see him," Mu Xue said to Wu Ying, picking up her medicine kit.

"Susu, come with your uncle in a bit. I'll take you back. Xiaoxue, be careful when you go to the Mu residence," Wu Ying kept nagging.

No matter how capable Mu Xue is, in Wu Ying's eyes, she is just a teenager, and he is always worried about her!

Mu Xue handed Wu Ying several sheets of paper with drawings on them, saying, "I finished these a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to show them to you, Uncle Wu."

Wu Ying took it with both hands and excitedly flipped through it, becoming more and more alarmed with each reading!

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Brilliant! Brilliant! You little girl are truly amazing! How did you come up with all these ingenious ideas?"

Mu Xue smiled but did not answer. She couldn't very well tell him that this was the culmination of thousands of years of wisdom and experience!

Mu Xue changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Wu, you don't need to see me off. I can go to the Mu residence by myself."

Wu Ying stopped Mu Xue, saying, "It's not appropriate for you to go by yourself."

He thought for a moment and said, "Well then, Manager Liu came by carriage, I'll have him leave the carriage for you, and you can take the carriage from Treasure Pavilion."

After thinking about it, Mu Xue also felt that Wu Ying's suggestion was wrong, so the two of them agreed to it.

Liu Ming was still waiting in the main hall, completely unaware that his carriage had been requisitioned and that he would have to walk back to the Treasure Pavilion in a while.

Of course, he was more than willing to let Mu Xue borrow his carriage.

Ever since he learned that the Dragon Pearl had been given to Mu Xue by Ye Shangyuan, he had been convinced that Mu Xue would eventually take over the Treasure Pavilion completely, and that she was now practically his mistress.

Wu Ying had the carriage driven to the back gate, where it went unnoticed. Mu Xue quietly boarded the carriage and headed to the Mu residence.

Upon learning that Mu Xue would be going to the Mu residence to treat the eldest son, Mu Feng, Liu Ming had already sent someone to the Mu residence to inform Mu Qinghe.

When Mu Xue arrived at the entrance of the Mu residence, she saw Mu Qinghe and Zhu Zhiyue already waiting at the gate.

Mu Xue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mu Qinghe, a tall man whose face showed little sign of age. Years of fighting on the frontier had made his face more resolute, and he stood straight as if at ease.

This is the original owner's father, and now he is also his own father.

She only glanced at Mu Qinghe before paying him no further attention, after all, her current identity was that of an ancient physician, not his daughter Mu Xue.

Looking to his side, a woman dressed in silk chiffon caught her attention.

Based on Ye Shangyuan's previous description, she recognized the woman at a glance as Zhu Zhiyue, the woman Mu Feng had brought back from the border.

Just now, when Mu Xue first saw Zhu Zhiyue, she was a little stunned. Not only did this woman look somewhat like herself, but more so because of the gentle and graceful temperament that was unique to women from Jiangnan, which was very similar to the temperament of Princess Shengping in her few memories.

However, Princess Shengping's temperament was innate, while Zhu Zhiyue's temperament seemed more like something that could be imitated, merely copying what she was seeing.

Mu Xue smiled knowingly and muttered to herself, "This is really interesting."

Mu Xue got out of the car and stood still. The driver was Ren Yuan, a guard from the Treasure Pavilion. He had been ordered by Liu Ming to stay by Mu Xue's side at all times to protect her.

Mu Qinghe felt somewhat displeased when she saw that a teenager was getting off the carriage from the Treasure Pavilion.

He stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Has the Ancient Physician not yet alighted from the carriage?" He then went to invite him.

At this moment, the guard spoke up, "This is the Ancient Physician."

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

Two shocked voices came at the same time; it was Zhu Zhiyue who had come over after Mu Qinghe.

When he first heard Manager Liu say that this young man was the legendary ancient doctor from the Treasure Pavilion, he also had the same astonished expression.

Seeing that even the renowned Mu Qinghe had the same expression, he suddenly felt a sense of balance.

At this moment, Mu Xue spoke up, "What? General Mu doesn't believe me? Then I'll take my leave."

She turned to return to the carriage, but Mu Qinghe blocked her way. He said awkwardly, "Master Gu, you misunderstand. I just didn't expect you to be such a young and handsome man."

Mu Xue coldly replied, "General, you'd better hurry up. My time is very precious." She showed no respect for Mu Qinghe and retorted sharply.

Mu Qinghe was displeased, but he didn't show it on his face. He gestured for the way and said, "This way, Doctor Gu. I'll leave my son Mu Feng in your care."

He knew perfectly well that he had upset Mu Xue.

For Mu Feng's life, he had to suppress his dissatisfaction. As long as this ancient physician could cure Mu Feng, he wouldn't care about any of this.

He said he wouldn't hold it against her, but Mu Xue didn't say she wouldn't hold it against her!

Mu Xue stood at the main gate of the Mu residence, refusing to take a single step.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhiyue stepped forward, leaned slightly forward, and gave a graceful bow, saying, "Does the Ancient Physician have any further instructions? Yue'er can do it for you?"

As soon as Zhu Zhiyue leaned closer, Mu Xue smelled the fragrance of datura flowers on her.

Mu Xue subtly moved to the side and said, "I have a sensitive nose, so you'd better stay away from me. I can't stand the vulgar smell of women's rouge and powder."

These words were utterly merciless, and Zhu Zhiyue's face flushed instantly, growing redder and redder from her neck to her cheeks. Helplessly, she looked up at Mu Qinghe and then at Mu Xue, but Mu Qinghe showed no intention of speaking up for her.

Zhu Zhiyue could only cover her face with a handkerchief and run back to the Mu residence.
