Chapter 444: What Kind of Miraculous Being Is This Fool?

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu s.h.i.+mei, accompanied by her ‘foolish son’ and Lian Qiao, set out for their medical rounds, unable to indulge in tofu for the time being.

Mo’er was still learning about herbal medicine and was nooot as knowledgeable as Lian Qiao, so she followed his lead during their medical visits.

When it came to examining female patients, Mei, her ‘Pretty Boy’ apprentice couldn’t accompany them. But Shu Jun thought to himself, ‘Since Father said he wants to send the female doctors from our family out, it’s the right time!’

Duke An’s Residence was located within the inner city, not far from Grand Secretary Zhang’s Residence, just across the street.

Upon entering the Duke’s Residence, Liu s.h.i.+mei discovered what it meant to have a frugal family tradition!

In the capital, prominent families typically had vermilion gates, with lacquered golden plaques above the lintels. Upon entering, there would be granite or marble screens; in more luxurious residences, the decorative part.i.tion would be carved from Hanbaiyu, a type of white marble.

However, the Miao family was different.

The red lacquer on the gate had partially peeled off, and the golden paint on the plaque above the lintel had faded. Crossing the threshold, they found that the screen was made of ordinary stone carvings!

Moving into the front courtyard garden, although the path was paved with bluestones, the plants on either side were evergreen shrubs, unlike other wealthy households that tried to cultivate rare and precious flowers.

Liu s.h.i.+mei followed Miao Linglong and headed towards Madam Miao’s western garden.

Although the scenery along the way was decent, it reflected the family’s frugal ways in every aspect, even in the simple designs of the carved beams and painted rafters in the corridors.

Liu s.h.i.+mei thought to herself, ‘Even in the households of ordinary wealthy families, palace lamps are hung every ten steps. But in the Miao family’s corridor, there’s a palace lamp only every 20 steps!’

To put it mildly, these practices were considered thrifty, but considering Duke An’s status, Liu s.h.i.+mei couldn’t help but think one word: shabby!

Truly shabby!

She couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Duke An lives so frugally in his own home, yet he still carries the prestigious reputation of a virtuous family. But Miao Fengyu and Miao Linglong, while relatively simple, don’t display the aura of great philanthropists. Could there be something fishy going on?’

Of course, if it had nothing to do with her, she would not bother about it and suppressed her doubts.

As usual, Liu s.h.i.+mei needed to arrange for Huangfu Lingyao to wait outside.

Children were always left out of adult affairs to prevent them from developing ‘childhood traumas’. Liu s.h.i.+mei gently rea.s.sured his emotions, saying, “Lingyao, just stay in the courtyard and don’t run around, alright? I’ll be out very soon.”

She almost said: If you behave well, I’ll buy you a lollipop!

Huangfu Lingyao nodded vigorously. “I won’t run around!”

He emphasized the word ‘run’.

In his mind, he thought, ‘I won’t run around, but walking should be fine, right? I’ll just walk around.’

“You just sit here and wait for me. After we finish Madam Miao’s check-up, we’ll return to the Fusheng Pavilion.” Liu s.h.i.+mei had no inkling that her little puppy had his own plans. She pushed him aside and made him sit down.

She was still very concerned about her ‘baby’.

Fortunately, their well-behaved Siberian Husky sat down obediently by the railing. She smiled at him, reached out, and patted his head, saying, “Very good!”

The silly puppy looked very pleased and said, “I’ll be very good, Wife, you can rest a.s.sured!”

Lian Qiao, who followed behind, didn’t glance sideways. Miao Linglong discreetly tugged at the corner of her lips, thinking, ‘What kind of miraculous being is this fool!?’

Then she pondered again, ‘And what kind of miraculous being is Liu s.h.i.+mei, who treats this fiance as a treasure?!’

Suppressing her disdain, she said, “Eldest Young Miss Liu, please come inside with me..”
