Within just a few months’ time, both of them were extremely clever, their internal strength advanced much faster than that of ordinary people; while not profound, it had reached a certain level.

Originally, it was thought that Master Chang of Pear Blossom Villa would come calling, but Su Qingyue received news that Master Chang had been delayed by some matters and had to change his route from Longwan Town to the capital city.

It seemed that Pear Blossom Villa had a very close relationship with the capital.

Xiao Yishan had lost Li Rong’er and had been in low spirits ever since, and Xiao Yuchuan, after all, couldn’t bear to see him like this, so he did not make him go out to look for a shop.

Taking care of a shop alone was too much to handle, and also, with Yishan’s left face disfigured, many women and children, and even men, were frightened by the sight of him, making him unsuitable for shopkeeping.

Yishan’s plan to open a small food shop thus fell through, and Chuan arranged for him to work as a protector within the Xiao Mansion instead.

However, unlike other protectors who lived in the servants’ rooms, he had always lived in Elegant Garden.

Qinghe’s medical skills also slowly improved; though there were ailments he could not cure, the ones he treated successfully were handled with all his heart and effort.

Because the New Moon Medicine Hall was doing well and a single attending doctor could not handle it all, they hired another doctor, an old man around fifty years old.

The Xiao Mansion earned a lot of money daily, but life there remained calm for several months.

It was as if this calmness was the stillness before a storm.

In the blink of an eye, summer had arrived.

Su Qingyue, accompanied by Maid Yinzhu, walked out of the mansion and onto the street outside the medicine hall, where she saw Tao Meijiao sitting on a chair in the hall’s consultation area.

Meijiao’s eyes were continuously fixed on Qinghe, occasionally teasing him with a few words.

Qinghe had never paid her any attention.

In the face of her indifference, Tao Meijiao did not much care, and still came to find him every few days.

Before, it was the people of Guangwu Mountain Village who knew Miss Tao had a liking for Xiao Qinghe; now, the entire town knew that Tao Meijiao fancied Doctor Xiao of New Moon Medicine Hall.

“Young Lady, I think Miss Tao is really stubborn,” Yinzhu said, standing slightly behind Su Qingyue.

“If it were just any girl, after being rejected by a man like that, she would have been crying without any trace left, not daring to pursue him, but Miss Tao really has strong willpower.”

Su Qingyue’s expression was faint, “I’m not sure whether she really likes fourth brother too much, or whether it is that she simply cannot accept not getting what she wants.

It must be a mix of both affection and unwillingness.

The Tao family is a wealthy family in town; she has had almost everything she desired from birth.

With her looks, there are many men who like her, and Qinghe is the only one who has rejected her.”

“Young Lady, do you think fourth brother will end up with Miss Tao?”

“I too hope that the two of them will be together,” Su Qingyue sighed, “Lately, I’ve noticed that Tao Meijiao has been coming more frequently, yet the way fourth brother looks at her has become more and more impatient.”

“Do you mean to say, fourth brother won’t accept Miss Tao?”

“It seems so,” Su Qingyue replied helplessly, “Originally, Master Tao was against her marrying Xiao Qinghe.

Meijiao is a clever girl; she told Master Tao that Qinghe is a disciple of ‘Unnamed’, a status that has not yet been revealed.

Otherwise, once it gets out, countless people would scramble to marry Qinghe.

Although Qinghe has a disability in his leg, with his medical skill, supporting a family is definitely not a problem.

Master Tao has also tacitly consented.”

“I really don’t understand.

With Miss Tao being so wonderful, how can fourth brother just not like her?” Yinzhu felt indignant on behalf of Tao Meijiao.

“To like is to like, not to like is not to like,” Su Qingyue said helplessly, “Fourth brother met me too early.

If he had met Meijiao first, perhaps he could have fallen for her.”
