Seeing this, Shen Tianyi looked at Shen Shi and asked in a low voice, "Sixth Uncle, why aren't you saying anything? Are you thinking about something?"

“Tianyi, it’s not that I don’t want to talk, it’s just that I don’t know what to say,” Shen Shi said softly. “I don’t know if we can find Nanxuan successfully this time.”

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi didn't know how to comfort Shen Shi. He himself wasn't sure where Nan Xuan was, whether he was doing well, or even if he had food to eat.

However, he still looked at Shen Shi and said in a forcedly strong tone, "Sixth Uncle, Nanxuan will definitely wait for us to come find him."

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at Shen Tianyi and nodded with a slight smile. At the same time, in the Xia Guang Courtyard of the Su residence, Su Yun Chu was still awake.

She sat quietly at her desk, a candle lit, flipping through the medical books that Su Nanxuan had sent before his expedition, but she couldn't calm her mind.

She didn't know if her sixth uncle and the others would be able to find her brother Su Nanxuan successfully this time, or if they would be able to find out any information about him. She also didn't know if her brother Su Nanxuan was doing well or where he was now.

After a long time, Su Yun Chu finally climbed into bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Su Yun Chu got up early. After having breakfast, she brought Xi Er to the free clinic.

At this time, a long queue had already formed at the free clinic. Seeing this, Su Yun quickly put down her medical kit and took out the equipment needed for the consultation.

Su Yunchu examined each person queuing at the free clinic, one after another. Xi'er helped by preparing medicine and serving tea and water.

As noon approached, the number of people at the free clinic dwindled. After the last person had been seen, Su Yun Chu and Xi Er packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Just then, Su Yunyan and Lu Linglong walked over.

Su Yunyan glanced at Su Yunchu and said to Lu Linglong, "Linglong, this is the free medical consultation that my sister organized."

"Sister Yan'er, this free clinic is nothing special," Lu Linglong said dismissively. "Anyway, I wouldn't dare ask Miss Su for help. I'd rather go see someone who charges money."

Su Yun Chu listened to Su Yun Yan and Lu Ling Long's sarcastic remarks without saying anything. She simply continued packing her things quietly with Xi Er.

After packing their things, Su Yun Chu and Xi Er prepared to leave.

Just then, Lu Linglong suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She quickly clutched her stomach and stepped forward to block Su Yun Chu's path. "Miss Su, please, let me take a look too?"

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu stopped, said nothing, but simply waved her hand, gesturing for Lu Ling Long to sit down. Lu Ling Long then sat down and extended her hand towards Su Yun Chu.

Su Yun Chu gently placed her hand on Lu Linglong's pulse, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the speed and changes in her pulse.

A moment later, Su Yun Chu looked at Lu Ling Long and said in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, don't you know you're on your period? How could you dare to eat something cold?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a hole. She saw Su Yunyan eating an iced drink and wanted some too, forgetting that she was on her period and shouldn't eat ice.

And she was saved by Su Yun Chu, whom she hated the most. She shouldn't have humiliated herself by coming here with Su Yun Yan. She originally came here to see Su Yun Chu make a fool of herself, but in the end, she had to rely on Su Yun Chu for treatment.

Xi'er glanced at Lu Linglong with a hint of mockery, "Miss Lu, didn't you say you'd rather spend money to hire an outside doctor than let our young lady examine you?"

"Why are you now asking our young lady to examine you? Aren't you afraid?"

Xi'er glanced at Lu Linglong, paused, and then continued, "Miss Lu, it's best not to speak so confidently. Luckily, you've met our kind-hearted young lady; if you'd met someone else, they might not be so kind!"

As Xi'er spoke, she glanced at Su Yunyan. Seeing this, Su Yunyan looked at Xi'er and said coldly, "Xi'er, why are you staring at me like that?"

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at Su Yunyan and said tremblingly, "Second Miss, I just think you are beautiful, so I couldn't help but look at you a few more times."

"Second Miss, if you don't like me looking at you, you can just say so! I... I won't look at you, why... do you have to be so angry?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan was furious. She glanced at Xi'er and said sarcastically, "What a sharp-tongued and quick-witted girl!"

After Su Yunyan finished speaking, she looked at Su Yunchu and said in a low voice, "Sister, your maid Xi'er is really quick-witted!"

"Look, she even dares to talk to me and Linglong like that. Sister, aren't you going to do anything about your servant Xi'er?"

After hearing this, Su Yunchu looked at Su Yunyan, shook her head, and said calmly, "Sister, didn't Xi'er say that she only glanced at you a few more times because she thought you were pretty?"

"Why can't my sister's beauty be shown to just anyone? Since you don't want others to see it, then my sister can only stay at home and not come out."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Lu Linglong glanced coldly at Xi'er and said in a chilling voice, "Xi'er, you lowly servant. What right do you have to lecture me like this? Who gave you the audacity?"

After hearing this, Xi'er looked at Lu Linglong and spoke in a composed yet firm manner.

“Miss Lu, what I, Xi’er, said came from the bottom of my heart! If you don’t want to hear it, just pretend that I, Xi’er, never said such things.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong glanced at Xi'er, a hint of anger flashing across her face.

Lu Linglong had never been treated like this before, nor spoken to like this. And this person was a lowly servant girl; this was something she simply could not tolerate!

So she quickly walked up to Xi'er, intending to pin her to the ground and beat her up.

Just as she was about to reach Xi'er, Xi'er subtly dodged her. Lu Linglong missed her target and almost tripped.

After Lu Linglong stood still, she made a move to pounce on Xi'er again, but Su Yun Chu stopped her, "Miss Lu, what are you doing?"

"What has my Xi'er done to you that you dare to lecture my servant in front of me? Miss Lu, do you even respect me, Su Yun Chu?"

Su Yun Chu glanced coldly at Lu Linglong and continued, "As the saying goes, 'Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner.' Miss Lu, are you showing no respect for me, Su Yun Chu?"

Lu Linglong looked at Su Yunchu, unsure of what to say.

Seeing this, Su Yun didn't bother arguing with such an unreasonable person. She simply wrote her a prescription and instructed her to take it as prescribed.
