Chapter 156 Love Will Find A Way (Section Begin) 1

A twenty-two-year old girl, if she were still in the twenty-first century, would believe that she was still a fragrant, blooming flower. However, in this ancient, old-fashioned epoch, the girls who passed seventeen years old would have a hard time finding their lifetime partners. She didn’t need anyone to remind her that she was a withering chrysanthemum, a dry land where only yellow leaves fell.

Luckily, the profession she was in occupied her a lot, giving her no time to let her mind wander. No matter if it was ancient time or in modern day, doctors were always busy, everyday their feet would never stay on one spot. She wouldn’t have time to even pity herself and her destiny.

Su Shuilian got off the carriage. She lifted her head to look at the carved board of “Qing Yang Clinic” that was written in a stylish running stroke. The corners of her mouth rose.

“Let’s go, Xin Zhi. I hope Jing Zhi won’t be too busy.”

“Ma… Madam? Why are you here? Are you all right?” The young girl sitting in the front was both happy and worried when she caught a glimpse of Su Shuilian.

She was worried because it meant Her Ladyship might not be feeling well. But she was happy because she had been working around two years in the clinic and she hadn’t had a chance to visit Her Ladyship due to her busy schedule. The girl had considered taking a day off to return to the private mansion at the Mid-Autumn Festival. And now, Madam was here.

“Long time no see, Qing Qing. Have you gotten used to the work in the clinic yet?” Su Shuilian smiled, rubbing the girl’s head.

“Used to it. Although it’s busy here, everything is great. But… Qing Qing can’t meet you and Liang-momo often.” Qing Qing said, her eyes reddening. She was one of the little maids Liang-momo had rescued and brought to He Yuan three years ago – a poor girl that people had falsely accused and the Lu family had abandoned her; she had no place to go. Fortunately, Liang-momo found her and Her Ladyship was kind enough to let her stay and send her to work in the clinic.

“You silly child, if you’re tired, you can ask the manager to take a day off and return to He Yuan to visit us.” Su Shuilian knew that the girl recalled her past again. Gently, she gently patted Qing Qing’s head. “Qing Qing, you should know that the Lu family is no longer?” One month ago, the Lu family sold all of their shops and lands to A Yao. Their old houses were now painted and renovated, becoming the new headquarters of Feng Yao Court.

“I’ve heard. It’s really satisfying! Evil has its retribution, time will come for their fortune! This saying is truly correct!” Qing Qing nodded and said indignantly.

Su Shuilian laughed and shook her head. This little girl was a victim of the Lu family so Shuilian didn’t have the right to interrupt her sharp remark. “Is Jing Zhi very busy?” She didn’t want to let this trip go in vain.

“It’s alright today. There are two more pregnant women that need to be checked. If you’re in a hurry, Qing Qing will go and let them know.”

“No need. I’m not in a hurry. After they are checked, I will see her.” This wasn’t something that could be solved within small chat. It wasn’t good to let the patients wait. Moreover, she needed to rehearse in her head first.

“Next, please.” Yang Jing Zhi furrowed her brows, trying to reduce her agitation.

“It’s me.” Su Shuilian smiled, pushing the door and entering. Slowly she made her way to sit on the wooden chair in front of Yang Jing Zhi.

Yang Jing Zhi frowned and looked at her. “You… Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Did Lin Si Yao’s ligation fail? Was she pregnant again?

“What are you thinking about?” Su Shuilian smiled and threw her a glance. “I can’t see you if I’m not sick?”

“I can’t reason why.” Yang Jing Zhi exhaled in relief. She pouted and began to sort her patients’ documents.

“How long do you still want to avoid him?” Su Shuilian sighed, asking reluctantly.

“What am I avoiding?” Yang Jing Zhi was still stubborn.

“Ever since he’s returned, you haven’t met him once. Wherever he goes, you will make yourself busy and not participate… Why do you need to act like this?”

As Shuilian was sitting close, she was able to see the exhausted countenance on Yang Jing Zhi’s face. She couldn’t help but shake her head. Jing Zhi obviously cared about him. Why did she have to force herself like that?

Yang Jing Zhi knew who Su Shuilian was talking about. She admitted that she was trying to avoid him. She was mad at him because he had left her here without an explanation. He returned to the imperial city alone several months ago. She also hated herself for missing him unceasingly. She worried about him every single second as she was afraid that he could be in danger. But he was fine, and now he was back to Fan Luo City. Ah no… He was the Wangye of Fan Luo, the handsome, young Wangye that would lead the people of the county to reform. And what was her? She was just an object to entertain him when he was bored.

“Jing Zhi, you also know that in this world, besides A Yao, you’re the one I’m closest to the most. You can share everything with me. If… you don’t have any feelings for him and you don’t want to get involved with him that much, when I return, I will tell him to let him give up.” Su Shuilian said, looking at her resolutely.

It seemed the other just needed to nod her head to confirm that she didn’t have affection for that man and she didn’t want to tangle with him, Shuilian would report her words to the man precisely. But why was her heart aching so much? She didn’t want to admit, nor to give up.

“Sigh…” Yang Jing Zhi buried her head into her palms, she looked miserable. But Su Shuilian knew that she was more deceived than this.

“Then I will consider that you have feelings for him. But why do you want to deny him?” Su Shuilian gently rubbed Jing Zhi’s head, and continued to complain, “Actually, I’ve been meaning to have a nice chat with you for a long time now. My third child’s cherry wine can be taken out and drunk now. You don’t know how busy I’ve been these days. Not only do I have to manage the silk farm, I also have to decorate the new house for my brother. And he, on the contrary, has been burying himself in the Duke’s mansion and discussing the planning of new areas in Fan Luo County with his subordinates. He pushed all the decorations for the wedding room in Luo Shui city to me. I spent a whole month decorating the wedding hall. Now we just need to choose a good day for the wedding and the reception. But the two involved parties don’t even care, just what did I do?”
