Chapter 240 Even If So, They Wouldn't Acknowledge Each Other

Could it be that Miss has accepted Lord Xie?

Spring Bud's heart wavered as she pondered. Su Youyue had already put away the silver note and instructed her to keep it.

"Has Jin'er not returned yet?"

Before going to bed, Su Youyue had sent Jin'er to Warm Green Courtyard to check on the situation and to see what Nurse Wang and Nurse Song thought after taking care of Doctor Ji.

Spring Bud nodded. "Calculating the time, she should be back soon. Miss, you should rest a bit more. Perhaps Doctor Ji will start treating you in the next couple of days."

Now that the martial arts competition is over, Su Youyue naturally wouldn't need to go out much anymore.

Su Youyue thought this made sense and went back to bed to rest.

On the other side, in Warm Green Courtyard, after Jin'er had spoken with the two nurses for a long time in the corner, she finally left the courtyard. However, instead of resolving her doubts, they only deepened.

Nurse Wang and Nurse Song both served Lady in the past. After seeing Doctor Ji, they said he looked exactly like Lady from back then, but Doctor Ji didn't allow them to serve him closely, so they couldn't discern anything in a short time.

Thinking that perhaps Doctor Ji simply didn't like being served, Jin'er could only ask them to wait and watch him closely. They naturally agreed.

However, while the three were talking in the corner, they didn't notice that Ji Qingyan had already seen them whispering through a crack in the window on the other side.

After everyone dispersed, she closed the window crack, but her brows remained tightly furrowed. She then lowered her gaze to look at her wrist.

In fact... there was originally a mole on her wrist, but she disliked it and used medicine to remove it.

However, regardless of whether she was the lady they mentioned or not, she wouldn't acknowledge them.

She wasn't from this era; she was just a soul from the twenty-first century. When she transmigrated into this body, she wasn't initially in Dongrong Country but indeed in Great Shen.

The body she possessed was already doomed to die, with no organs or parts in good condition. It was a merchant from Dongrong Country who saved her using her prescribed remedies and brought her back to Dongrong Country.

Therefore, she had no sense of belonging to Great Shen, feeling more connected to Dongrong Country.

Saying she grew up in Dongrong Country with family was just to deceive the Su family.

She wasn't the real Lu Shi; how could she be their family?

Ji Qingyan returned to the mirror in her room, slowly undressed, and looked at the spots where she had removed moles. They had now scabbed over, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In a few days, she would prepare a Jade Dew Beauty Ointment. After using it for a few days, no one would notice anything.

Once she cured Miss Su's leg, she would leave Great Shen forever and live freely by herself. Although some ancient men were handsome, they were deeply rooted in feudal thinking. She didn't want to spend her life with such people who would brainwash her into submission!

Just thinking about it scared her; she didn't want to be assimilated by these ancient ideas.

After making up her mind, Ji Qingyan checked her body thoroughly again to ensure there were no birthmarks or other marks before feeling relieved.

Eager to leave Great Shen, when Miss Su showed no reaction the next day, Ji Qingyan came to urge her.

By now, Su Youyue knew that the two nurses hadn't found any conclusive evidence. She felt both helpless, guilty, and worried about Doctor Ji.

"Doctor Ji, I understand. You don't need to repeat it for the sixth time... Let's start the treatment tomorrow."

Hearing that she could start treating Miss Su's leg tomorrow, Ji Qingyan immediately became excited. She stood up abruptly, startling Su Youyue: "Alright! I'll go prepare the final herbs. Don't worry, Miss Su. I'll use silver needles to seal your acupoints and minimize your pain!"

With that, she ran off.

Watching her hurried departure, Su Youyue couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head. She truly didn't believe Doctor Ji could be her mother. From what she heard, her mother was an extremely gentle and talented woman whom she greatly respected, not someone who could be her friend like this.

Moreover, her maternal grandfather's family was from Jiangnan, where women were typically gentle and spoke softly. How could Doctor Ji sound like a northern woman?

There must be some mistake.

However, since Doctor Ji could treat her leg, she was her savior, and Su Youyue would treat her with gratitude and respect.

Thinking about starting the treatment tomorrow, Su Youyue didn't hesitate and sent Jin'er to Xie Mansion with a message.

Since Xie Yuan wanted to come, let him come.

After all, they've seen everything about each other...

Jin'er sensed the change in her Miss's attitude towards her future son-in-law. She was both happy about the change and worried about Miss's pain tomorrow, smiling and frowning as she left.

Halfway through, she encountered a familiar figure.

"Little Brother Zhe Jing."

Jin'er called out happily.

The young man standing under the bamboo grove turned around and smiled at her. "Miss Jin'er, are you going out?"

Jin'er nodded. "Yes, I'm going to Xie Mansion to inform Lord Xie that Miss will start her treatment tomorrow."

Hearing this, Zhe Jing's eyebrows raised slightly. Was Miss Su sending Jin'er because of Lord Xie's insistence, or did she want him to come?

If it was the former, he sighed that Lord Xie's pursuit of his wife was still far from over. If it was the latter, he would congratulate Lord Xie on winning her heart.

"Miss Jin'er, you don't need to make the trip. I'm heading to Xie Mansion today and can pass the message for you."

Jin'er instinctively wanted to refuse. The task Miss gave her, she must complete personally. So, the little girl stubbornly shook her head. "What Miss entrusted me with, I must do myself."

It wasn't that she didn't want to trouble Little Brother Zhe Jing, but Miss was the most important person in her heart.

She had been with Su Youyue since childhood. Though not sisters, her feelings for Su Youyue were deeper than those for her own sisters. Her life revolved around Miss. When Su Youyue was happy, she was ecstatic; when Su Youyue was sad, she felt even more sorrowful.

Jin'er's world is tiny, but Miss is her entire universe, now and forever.

"Goodbye, Brother Zhe Jing! I'm off!" Jin'er waved her little hand.

Watching the young girl's departing back, Zhe Jing was surprised at first, then shook his head with a smile. He then caught up to her pace: "I'll go with you. I need to return to the mansion anyway."
