I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 812 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang

Jiang Huashan's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority that instantly quieted the noisy corridor.

Those who were pushing the young man were startled when they heard the sound. They looked down the corridor, their faces changed, and they immediately let go of their hands.

The young man was wearing an old shirt that had faded from washing, but he had kept it very clean. He was suddenly released and stumbled a bit, but he still held tightly to the dark wooden box that looked quite old in his arms, as if it was something more important than his life.

He raised his head, revealing a handsome yet stubborn face. The young man was none other than Shen Zhili, who had taken Shen Zhuang's pulse before.

The group of people from the old house had already recognized Jiang Huashan, and they all lowered their heads and respectfully made way.

The leading man hurriedly explained, "Miss Jiang, are you sorry for disturbing me? This kid is being naive and insisting on barging in, claiming he wants to see the clan leader. We were afraid he'd disturb his rest..."

Jiang Huashan didn't immediately pay attention to them. His eyes fell on the wooden box that the boy was holding tightly. He glanced at his fingers that were white from exertion and his stubborn eyes, and frowned slightly. "You said you came here to see Grandpa?"

The young man nodded vigorously, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and said very quickly: "Yes! The clan grandfather promised me before! I, I studied medicine! I heard that the clan grandfather was ill, and I was very worried. I have medicine here..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously pushed the wooden box in his hand out, as if to prove that what he said was true.

Hearing this, the tribesmen nearby couldn't help but sneer: "You've only learned a few days of barefoot doctor's folk remedies, and you dare to come and treat the tribe leader? It's only because the old man indulges you little brats. Go away, this is not the place for you to fool around."

Mentioning the late Shen Jun, Shen Zhili's eyes instantly turned red, and he shouted at everyone like a fighting beast: "I'm not fooling around! I'm learning serious medical skills!"

The leading man was too lazy to argue with him. He explained to Jiang Huashan with a forced smile, "Miss, this child used to pick herbs for stray cats and dogs. Later, with the care of the old man, he worked as an apprentice in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in town for a few years. But that was just a child's life..."

Jiang Huashan ignored him and walked straight past the crowd to the boy. "You just said that Grandpa promised you? What did he promise you?"

The man's smile paused for a second, and he took the initiative to continue, "The old man is busy with all sorts of things, so how can he have time to deal with him? I think it's just that this little brat is blind..."

Jiang Huashan tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her expressionlessly, "Did I ask you?"

The man was stunned. He had only thought that Miss Jiang was pretty, but he didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with.

Shen Zhili also noticed that this group of people seemed to be very afraid of the beautiful sister in front of them, and his eyes were sincere: "Last time I took the pulse of the clan grandfather, my technique was not good enough and I made a fool of myself. The clan grandfather promised me that I would try again after my medical skills improved. I heard that he was ill, and I thought maybe I could take this opportunity to feel his pulse again."

Jiang Huashan pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over the tribesmen who were holding their breath, and finally fell back on Shen Zhili.

"Grandpa just woke up and needs to rest. Doctor Meng is taking care of him inside." She said in a calm but decisive tone, "I will convey your wishes. As for seeing a doctor, it's not convenient now."

Shen Zhili opened his mouth, as if wanting to refute, but looking at Jiang Huashan's calm yet unquestionable eyes, and then looking at the tribesmen around him who were eyeing him covetously, he finally swallowed his words.

The young man lowered his head and picked up the wooden box on the ground, then bowed deeply to Jiang Huashan: "Thank you... Thank you."

Then, looking back every few steps, he slowly left the corridor under the gaze of everyone.

Jiang Huashan watched the young man's thin back disappear at the end of the corridor, then retracted his gaze and looked around at everyone with a calm expression: "Which family are you from?"

The leading man's face turned stern, and he quickly apologized in fear, "Miss Jiang, we don't want anyone to disturb the old man's rest. If there is anything we did wrong, please correct us, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Huashan smiled and said, "No~ You did a great job. You ruined Grandpa's reputation and isolated the younger generation from getting close to him. You did a very, very, good job~"

How could the man not hear Jiang Huashan's sarcasm? He swallowed hard and said, "Miss Jiang..."

"Get lost! You don't need to interfere in the affairs of the inner house from now on. If I see you again..."

"I understand!" Without waiting for her to finish, the man winked at the people behind him and rushed out of the yard as if he was running for his life.

The group of people were confused and looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, they turned around and followed.

"Fifth Uncle, why are you running so fast?"

The man ran through three gates in a row until his legs were shaking so much that he stopped. Seeing that everyone looked confused, he panted and waved his hands, "Next time you see her, stay away from her."

Everyone was even more puzzled. She was just a pretty little girl, was it really that serious?

The man shook his head. "What do you know? It's because your cousins ​​criticized Miss Jiang in front of the clan leader that the old clan leader got angry and wanted to split up the family. Now the whole clan is waiting for the old clan leader to change his mind. If they provoke her, the Shen family will be divided into two families in the future."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and looked towards the gate at the same time.

No wonder the old man ordered her to rest and not be disturbed, but this Miss Jiang can come and go freely.

Shen Zhili, holding his precious wooden box, walked slowly in the quiet alley outside the Xiangying old house.

The setting sun stretched his shadow long, revealing a sense of loneliness. He was ultimately disappointed that he hadn't been able to see his clan grandfather, but he was grateful that Miss Jiang had spoken up for him and prevented those snobbish hirelings from driving him away.

It’s just that my great-uncle just passed away, and they treated him like this. I’m afraid his future will be even more difficult.

Shen Zhili turned into a more secluded corner, where some discarded bamboo baskets and other miscellaneous items were piled. He pried open a few baskets with ease, and in the corner suddenly appeared a dirty stray cat. It seemed to have injured its hind legs, curled up, and looked at him warily.

Shen Zhili sighed, squatted down, and carefully opened the wooden box.

Inside the box, various dried herbs and several small porcelain bottles were arranged in different categories. He took out some crushed herbal powder, poured some water from a bottle, and expertly mixed the mixture. He whispered to the cat, "Don't be afraid. The pain will go away after you apply the medicine..."

He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice the slight footsteps behind him.

"It turns out they were right, your patient really is a kitten."

Shen Zhili was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Jiang Huashan standing there at some point, looking at him and the cat with interest.

The golden glow of the setting sun outlines her delicate silhouette, which seems somewhat out of place in the messy environment she is in, yet strangely blends in.

"Ms. Jiang?!" Shen Zhili stood up hurriedly, his expression stunned. "Why...why are you here?"

Jiang Huashan nodded at the kitten at his feet and said, "I'm here to ask you to treat my grandfather."

"See a doctor?" Shen Zhili frowned slightly in confusion. "But... don't you not trust me?"

"No~" Jiang Huashan corrected seriously, "I believe you, but there is someone else I don't believe in, Xiaoli, the Miraculous Doctor~"
