Chapter 990: Chapter 990 Confrontation (3)

Princess Fuyun, however, had not expected Mo Yan to deliberately conceal that matter, and seeing Mo Yan’s words did not seem fabricated, she somewhat believed her, "Being honored by Imperial Brother as a County Lord, you truly possess extraordinary talents! Not only have you cultivated high-yield rice to benefit the people, but you can also treat illnesses. Your master must be confident in your medical skills to let you come here; presumably, they are no less than his own and probably even match the skills of the Imperial Physicians from Taiyi Hospital. Then tell this palace, exactly how is Ping An’s condition?"

These words seemed to praise Mo Yan but were actually a trap for her. The Imperial Physicians of Taiyi Hospital had all been rigorously tested and carefully selected. Even if not the best in the world, they were better than the vast majority of common folk doctors. If the words of Princess Fuyun spread, Mo Yan would be in great trouble.

"Your Highness flatters me, Hejia has been practicing medicine for less than a year, and at present, has only learned how to take pulses. I cannot even prescribe medicines independently yet, so how could I compete with the best Imperial Physicians of Taiyi Hospital?" Mo Yan’s expression remained unchanged as she graciously admitted her insufficient medical skills, deflecting Princess Fuyun’s scheme back at her.

She had not anticipated that Princess Fuyun would harbor such petty thoughts. Having no grievances or enmity with her, Mo Yan’s visit to the Cui family to diagnose Cui Pingan had somehow triggered the Princess to dig such a large pit; this made Mo Yan feel even more sympathetic toward Cui Pingan.

Princess Fuyun had never expected that Mo Yan would admit to her inadequate skills in front of Old Lady Cui and the others. If your skills are inadequate, why bother coming here? Aren’t you afraid of mishandling the treatment and offending the Cui family? Immediately afterward, she remembered that this person was not only a County Lord but would also have an immensely promising husband in the future. With such recklessness, there must be a sense of confidence, right?

As though discerning Princess Fuyun’s thoughts, Mo Yan gave a cunning smile. She deliberately restrained herself, but her demeanor still betrayed a hint of arrogance, "Initially, it was another doctor whom my master intended to send here. However, Hejia was genuinely curious about Master Cui’s illness, so I took over the task. It’s fortunate if the Princess and Old Lady Cui do not mind my lack of proficiency in medicine."

Given her young age and her recent start in medicine, Princess Fuyun assumed Mo Yan was not particularly skilled. Unable to detect any deception in her current behavior, she truly believed her and felt somewhat disdainful in her heart.

Indeed, she is young and has not received proper guidance and refinement. Abruptly transformed from a lowly peasant girl into a County Lord and having obtained a desirable husband, she has become haughty.

With such thoughts in mind, Princess Fuyun ultimately felt reassured and pretended to say, "If your master willingly let you come here, he naturally trusts you. You need not be so humble."

If you’re going to act, commit to the role until the end. Mo Yan feigned a flattered and startled look after being praised by the Princess, and she tried hard to seem modest, "Your Highness is too kind; compared to my master, Hejia falls far short."

This pretense did not only deceive Princess Fuyun but also made Old Lady Cui start to wonder, while Cui Qingrou nonchalantly used a handkerchief to lightly touch her face, worried that the smile that crept onto her face would be seen by Princess Fuyun.

In the Space, Xue tuanzi laughed so hard that he rolled on the floor, remarking to Mo Yan in her consciousness, "Yanyan, I never expected you’d have a talent for acting. If you’d entered that what’s-it-called entertainment circle in a previous life, with this acting skill, you definitely could have brought home an Oscar."

Mo Yan’s face stiffened for a moment, then she boasted proudly, "I was forced into this position, wasn’t I? But I too didn’t expect to be bursting with acting talent, deceiving even myself, haha!"

"Hmph, get a couple of compliments and you start to feel all smug. If you can’t even handle this old lady, then living two lives is a waste," Xuetuan had no mercy in his taunting, without considering whether there would be retaliation later.

Mo Yan felt itchy teeth, wishing she could give Xuetuan a good thrashing right now, but in front of Princess Fuyun, she could only try hard to suppress her feelings to avoid giving herself away and spoiling everything.
