Chapter 50: The Legendary Physician Bian Wen (2/2)
Thinking of Nanny Liu in danger, An Rushuang, being so worried and angry with her pretty face as cold as frost, hoped she could kick the doors open immediately!
Taking a few quick gasps, the old man howled in rage, “Quack? How dare you to call me a quack! Listen! I merely save, rather than harm people’s lives. I definitely won’t meet you today. Go back where you come from as soon as possible. As the descendant of the legendary physician Bian Que (TN: according to Chinese legend, Bian Que was the earliest known Chinese physician whose medical skills were quite amazing), I will never break my promise!”
Upon hearing his master’s thundering voice, Ye Chengzhi, having never heard him saying so much words, was stupefied before letting out a sigh. “My master is really infuriated. You should not call him quack; it’s a taboo for a physician. That being the case, I have to make a bold try. If Nanny Liu were cured, I would not ask you for a single coin. If not, I would apologize by committing suicide!”
He found An Rushuang was lost in thought.
“The descendant of Bian Que?” She murmured after a while.
Shocked by her words, Ye Chengzhi couldn’t help shuddering. He hadn’t noticed that his master, so old as him, was over excited, even revealing his real identity so recklessly.
They could no longer stay at the capital if it got known to the public!
Ye Chengzhi hoped this lady was not well-informed. Their stories in other countries might have not spread to Nanqi Kingdom.
An Rushuang couldn’t know who the descendant of Bian Que was if she hadn’t be reborn.
Now, everything was crystal clear to her.
“Oh, I know. As the descendant of the medical sage, no wonder you are so arrogant and pompous. However, you gave up practicing medicine because you killed a patient by accidence three years ago, am I right? As far as I know, the patient was of high social status. You did come to the capital in secret, and you are indeed a wanted criminal!”
An Rushuang said emphatically with a smile, but without a single wisp of amusement in her eyes.
Ye Chengzhi was alert at her words. How could this lady, who hardly left her manor, know his master’s secret?
Did they fall into her trap from the very beginning? If it were true, how adept was she at plot!
Ye Chengzhi didn’t dare to think about that. He stared at the expressionless girl in confusion.
After a long while of silence, there came a sound behind the door. “What do you want?”
It turned much older all of a sudden.
With a twitch in his heart, Ye Chengzhi turned to look at An Rushuang.
“I want nothing, merely looking down upon you who give up being a physician just because a single accidence. I know nothing about medicine, but I have heard a saying---never be afraid to correct a mistake.”
There was a cold laugh resounding in the air.
“Correct... Ha-ha. The patient had been dead and turned into ashes. So you tell me, how can I correct the mistake?”
