To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

Su Mingyue silenced Xiao Zhan with a single sentence.

Time was too tight, and she was not valued.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

He cleared his throat lightly: "What time would be suitable, in your opinion?"

"This is no different from an engagement party. It's fine if it's three days later. I have no objection."

Xiao Zhan: "..."

A woman's heart is truly unfathomable; one moment she thinks it's okay, the next she thinks it's not.

"Is there anyone you'd like to invite? If so, you can invite them all over; it'll be more fun with more people."

"Okay, I understand. I'll invite a few friends over." Su Mingyue thought for a moment, and aside from Ye Wushuang, there were others she was willing to associate with.

In this capital city, there are probably not many people willing to associate with her.

She was just a woman who ran away from the Su family, unloved by her father and stepmother.

Su Mingyue spread all the medicine on a cloth to sunbathe.

"Is this meant to be made into a powder?"

"Yeah, it's easy to carry."

"What kind of poison is it for? Could you share some with me?"

"It can cure all poisons. Think about it, it's not impossible. One thousand taels of silver for a bottle."

"It's just silver." Xiao Zhan pulled out a silver note worth a thousand taels of silver from his pocket and waved his hand, "Give me a bottle."

"Your Highness is truly generous. I dried a bottle yesterday, and I'll sell it to you." Su Mingyue put away the silver notes and took out a bottle from her bosom, handing it to Xiao Zhan.

"Is it the same? Can it really cure poison? You're not just trying to fool me, are you?"

"Look, you just said we were engaged, but you don't trust me at all. If outsiders find out you don't trust me, they'll definitely suspect us."

Xiao Zhan: "..."

It seems he doesn't even have the right to question anymore.

"I don't know how to use it, I was just asking casually. You sell medicine, you're a merchant, if a customer has a problem, shouldn't you solve it? What if I get poisoned like last time, will this antidote work or not?"

"If you're poisoned, you'd better pray to a god; my medicine isn't that effective. But I can save your life, don't worry."

"That's good." Xiao Zhan put it in his pocket: "As long as it can save your life, it's better than any medicine."

"You won't lose out, and you won't be cheated."

Xiao Zhan originally wanted to stay with Su Mingyue a little longer, but Su Mingyue was about to go out. Xiao Zhan wanted to follow her, but she wouldn't let him.

"I have some personal business to attend to, Your Highness, it would be best if you didn't come along."

"You're not going to see Fu Jingsheng, are you?"

"What are you thinking?" Su Mingyue said speechlessly, "Their family isn't worth my concern right now. I'm all alone in the capital, and I have to support myself."

"I will take care of you."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary." Su Mingyue led Xingchun out.

Su Mingyue has recently prepared a lot of medicine, and she has her own plans for these medicines.

Upon arriving at the renowned Qian Family Medical Clinic in the capital, Ye Wushuang waited for her outside.

“Mingyue, although I have some connections with Elder Qian, I can’t guarantee whether he will approve of the medicines you make or whether he will be willing to help you sell them. You should be prepared.”

"It's alright, I'm not short of money right now. I was just thinking that since I'm idle anyway, I might as well get some exercise."

She owns many businesses, but she doesn't manage most of them herself. Almost no one knows she has medical knowledge.

Qian's Medical Clinic is quite famous in the capital and attracts a lot of patients. There are two doctors on duty in the main hall, and there are quite a few people queuing up in front of them.

Following Ye Wushuang, they went straight up to the third floor and pushed open the door to a room.

An old gentleman inside was studying a medical book. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Ye Wushuang. He couldn't help but tease him, "What brings you here, kid?"

“Grandpa Qian, haven’t you always wanted to know who cured my illness? Now I’ve brought the person to you, so you can ask them properly.” Ye Wushuang stepped aside.

Qian saw the person behind Ye Wushuang.

A very young girl with curved eyebrows and a faint smile on her lips stood respectfully in front of Grandpa Qian and greeted him solemnly: "Grandpa Qian, I am Su Mingyue."

Looking at her, Old Qian felt that her appearance was familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before: "Wushuang said that you cured his illness, and it really was you who cured him."

He found it hard to believe that someone so young could cure Ye Wushuang's illness.

He had been treating Ye Wushuang's illness in her early years, but to no avail. Then one day, Ye Wushuang somehow obtained a medicine, and after taking it, she recovered. No matter how he asked, Ye Wushuang wouldn't say anything.

Today they brought in such a young girl, claiming she was cured by the doctor. As a senior doctor in the capital, he was skeptical.

"I dare not claim credit for curing him, but he was in poor health at the time, and I did send him a lot of medicine. Later, when I heard that his health had improved, I stopped sending him medicine."

"I see." Madam Qian asked Su Mingyue to sit down. "I happen to have a patient here. If you can figure out the cause, I will grant you any request you may have."

Being with straightforward people is always a pleasant experience.

Madam Qian led up a woman in her forties. The woman was pale, her eyes were lifeless, and her limbs were weak.

"This lady came to me from out of town seeking medical treatment. She has sought treatment from countless doctors in her hometown, and they all told her that her illness is incurable and that she should make plans as soon as possible. Her illness is similar to Wushuang's back then. You were able to cure Wushuang's illness, so do you think you can do something about hers? If you can cure her, I will agree to whatever you ask for."

Mr. Qian was also helpless regarding his wife's illness.

This disease is chronic and cannot be cured; it will only cause you suffering.

In the end, you'll be tortured until you're emaciated, devoid of any energy, and die little by little.

Su Mingyue understood what Old Master Qian meant, so she stepped forward to check the lady's eyelids, took her pulse, and listened to her heartbeat.

It was more serious than Ye Wushuang's condition back then.

But it's not impossible.

Watching her treat patients, you can tell that she is indeed a skilled doctor.

There were some techniques he had never seen before.

After the examination, Su Mingyue asked the patient a few more questions.

Ask her what she usually eats, or what her lifestyle habits are like.

The lady answered truthfully.

"Mr. Qian, I am basically certain about her condition."

"Then tell me, what is her condition? And how should it be treated?"

"There must be something growing inside her body. It was small before, so she didn't feel anything. But as it grew bigger and bigger inside her, the reactions she had became stronger."

Which part?

“Here.” Su Mingyue pointed to the other person’s neck. She reached over with one hand and could vaguely feel it: “She just said that she can only eat liquid food now, and she can’t choke on anything harder.”
