How to become a Taoist priest starting from a brothel

Wen Shuyi quickly brought the imperial physician.

Although the physician was puzzled as to why Wen Shuyi had come to see him so late at night, he thought that something had happened to the Wen family patriarch's health again. He was so frightened that he did not dare to delay and quickly followed Wen Shuyi over.

He didn't realize what was happening until he reached the guest room door, but before he could ask, Wen Shuyun had already opened the door and urged him on.

"Dr. Zhang, could you please take a look?"

Seeing this, Physician Zhang dared not delay and quickly went into the room.

She saw a woman lying on the bed in the room, looking disheveled, while another disheveled woman on the soft couch next to her was trying to stay awake and looking at her.

Seeing that it was a woman, Physician Zhang quickly looked away and carefully walked to the bedside.

Wen Shuyi finally realized what was happening and hurriedly went to lower the curtain, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a clean handkerchief.

Seeing this, Wen Shuyun had no choice but to say, "Saving people is the priority. Let's not worry about formalities for now."

Hearing this, Physician Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to take Liu Yin's pulse.

“This young lady’s problem isn’t the wound itself. It’s just an external injury, but she’s a bit weak in both qi and blood. The main issue is that she caught a lot of cold, which might affect her future fertility.” After thinking for a moment, Zhang Langzhong said, “I’ll write a prescription to help her recover first. Let her rest for a while and then we’ll see.”

"Alright, you should also take a look at Miss Zhu Mei." Wen Shuyun looked at Liu Yin with worry in her eyes, and then hurriedly asked Doctor Zhang to examine Zhu Mei.

After examining her, Dr. Zhang said, "This young lady is much stronger, so it won't have much of an impact. She just needs to rest and sweat it out."

Zhu Mei didn't care at all. After seeing that Liu Yin was being taken care of properly, she fainted peacefully.

Liu Yin lay there until the afternoon of the next day.

I opened my eyes and looked at the unfamiliar bed curtains.

"Cough cough." After a few light coughs, she shakily propped herself up and tentatively pulled back the bed curtains.

"Miss, you're awake?" Zhu Mei heard the noise and quickly came over.

"Why didn't you rest properly? Where is this?" Liu Yin looked at her with disapproval in her eyes.

Zhu Mei also had a cough, but since she exercised regularly, she was in much better health than Liu Yin. She could only explain, "I'm much better off than you, Miss. I took my medicine and had a good sleep, and I'm fine now. But you, Miss..."

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Yin asked, somewhat puzzled, but relieved that Zhu Mei wasn't implicated.

“Miss…” Zhu Mei hesitated for a moment, but seeing Liu Yin staring at her, she still whispered, “Miss, don’t be afraid. Surviving is more important than anything else.”

"It's alright, I've always been easygoing, so feel free to speak." Liu Yin already had a bad feeling.

"The doctor said that the girl's health was already poor, and she had not taken good care of herself during her adulthood. Now, she has lost blood and been agitated by the river, which may damage her lungs and internal organs. Moreover, she may have difficulty having children in the future." Zhu Mei could not hide the sadness in her voice.

"I know, it's alright." Liu Yin didn't seem to care much after hearing this, and instead comforted Zhu Mei, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

“Miss…” Zhu Mei was touched for a moment.

"By the way, where are we now?" Liu Yin then realized that she hadn't asked where they were.

"He's a young master surnamed Wen, who says he's an old friend of yours," Zhu Mei recounted the events of the previous night.

"It was him?" Liu Yin was also quite surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Did you tell him that the situation was critical?"

"Not yet." Zhu Mei shook her head.

"Call him over, I'll talk to him," Liu Yin said after thinking for a moment.

Zhu Mei didn't delay and quickly went out. Not long after, Wen Shuyun followed her in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Yin dressed in plain clothes, her black hair loose, without a trace of makeup. Her natural beauty was enhanced by the absence of any artificial adornment, but a rather noticeable scar on her face added a touch of ferocity to her pure and beautiful appearance.

Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to yet different from usual, he froze for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "Miss Liu... Miss Liu?"

Liu Yin touched her face and immediately understood. After gesturing to Zhu Mei, she said to him, "First of all, thank you for saving me, Brother Wen."

"Not at all, it was just a small favor, but..." Wen Shuyun wanted to ask what had happened, but she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and touching on the person's sore spot, so she hesitated for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Liu Yin guessed what was going on. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm afraid this matter can't be kept secret for many more days. I'm sorry, Second Brother Wen, for keeping it from you before."

"What?" Wen Shuyun was stunned, her face full of confusion.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Liu Yin, formerly Qing Yin, a courtesan at Qingyin Hall. Now, I am not only Liu Jianniang, a writer, but also a wanted recluse." As Liu Yin spoke, she stared intently at the other person, ready to leave immediately if he hesitated even slightly.

Wen Shuyun did not disappoint her after all. Although she was very surprised by Liu Yin's self-disclosure of her identity, it was just surprise.

After his initial surprise subsided, he looked at Liu Yin and murmured, "You are the hermit. Yes, only you could write such articles and have such insights."

“I am currently being hunted down by the imperial court, and I really do not want to involve you,” Liu Yin said after thinking for a moment. “I jumped into the river in front of them. Based on my understanding of these people, they will probably not give up until they are completely defeated. They will definitely search the villages near the riverbank carefully, and then you will be implicated.”

"Don't worry, although this village is not big, it is the territory of my Wen family. The people who have lived in the village for generations are all relatives of my Wen family. Although my father has resigned from his official post, there are still many people in my Wen family who hold official positions in the court. Ordinary soldiers will not forcibly search our area."

Liu Yin shook her head and said, "We still shouldn't let our guard down."

Seeing her say that, Wen Shuyun had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Don't worry, with my brother around, he has always thought things through very thoroughly."

Hearing him say that, Liu Yin finally felt relieved.

"By the way, how did you end up here?"

What will you do in the future?

The two remained silent for only a moment before being overwhelmed by the awkward atmosphere and couldn't help but speak at the same time.

Seeing that he was speaking at the same time as her, Liu Yin stopped and gestured for him to speak first.

Upon seeing this, Wen Shuyun simply smiled and then said, "I wonder what Miss Liu's plans are for the future?"

"After I recover from my injuries, I will definitely go to the Northwest." Liu Yin didn't elaborate.

Seeing her like this, Wen Shuyun was somewhat disappointed by the slight distrust in the other party's eyes, but she did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she said, "My father's health is really not good, so I brought him and the family doctor to stay in the countryside for a while."

“I see…” Liu Yin nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, Miss Liu, just rest for now." Seeing that she looked a little tired, Wen Shuyun quickly added, "Miss Liu, please rest. If you need anything, just let Miss Zhumei tell me."

Liu Yin watched him leave before she breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep.
