Chapter 54 The Despicable Siblings

Chapter 54: The Disgusting Siblings

Everyone present was utterly confused.

Finally, when Ji Yuntang pointed to the largest letter "E," Zhao Di barely managed to make it out and said weakly, "Right."

The same went for her right eye.

After doing all that, Ji Yuntang had a rough idea of Zhao Di's vision in both eyes.

She put down the stick, told Zhao Di to wait off to the side, and went back to fiddling with her medical kit.

"What's Princess Ye doing? Does she even know what she's doing?"

"All this flashy stuff—I think she doesn't know a thing, and she still dares to go up against all these doctors."

"Yeah, in all my years, I've never heard of curing blurry vision. What does a little girl like her know?"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with chatter, and even the twenty-nine doctors sitting up on stage looked at Ji Yuntang with disdain.

The happiest person there was none other than Ji Qingqing.

The more Ji Yuntang embarrassed herself, the happier Ji Qingqing got.

The more she boasted, the harder the slap in the face would be later.

She couldn't wait to see Ji Yuntang crushed under her feet—that thought got her excited.

While everyone had their own opinions, Ji Yuntang ignored them all. Using the medical kit as cover, she pulled out a bunch of lenses from her space.

The square was too crowded for a proper eye exam, so Ji Yuntang decided to adjust the prescription for Zhao Di one step at a time.

When the prescription hit 500 degrees, she put the glasses on Zhao Di's ears, and Zhao Di's vision instantly cleared up.

"So clear! I can see! I can see everything now!"

Zhao Di's face turned red with excitement. Whether it was people, clouds in the sky, leaves on trees, or signs ten meters away, she could see them all perfectly.

And the images weren't zoomed in or out at all.

Ji Yuntang let her get used to it for a moment and asked, "Any discomfort? Dizzy?"

Once the initial excitement wore off, Zhao Di realized she was actually a bit dizzy. She whispered, "It seems... a little dizzy."

Ji Yuntang added another lens and had her get used to it until the dizziness went away.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ji Yuntang tested her vision again. She could now mostly make out the letters in the last ten rows, which she couldn't see before.

This blew a lot of people's minds!

"No way! Can something that small really fix your eyesight?"

"This girl couldn't see the symbols down there just now, and now she can? That's amazing!"

"Can Princess Ye actually cure her?"

Ji Yuntang confirmed the final prescription and pulled out a pair of ready-made glasses from her space, putting them on Zhao Di.

"From now on, just wear these when you go out, and you'll be able to live like everyone else."

"The lenses are thin and fragile, so be careful with them and don't drop them. Take them off and put them in the case when you go to sleep at night."

Filled with gratitude, Zhao Di dropped to her knees with a thud in front of Ji Yuntang.

"Thank you, Princess Ye! You're truly a reincarnation of Hua Tuo, curing the eye problem that's bothered me for years. I'm so grateful."

Ji Yuntang helped her up. "Nearsightedness isn't a big deal. Don't stress about it or feel like a freak. It's actually really normal."

Back in ancient times, without phones or computers, not many people were nearsighted, and those who were often felt out of place.

In modern times, nearsighted people could even get surgery to fix their vision—it was no big deal.

Zhao Di walked off happily, full of gratitude for Ji Yuntang, while the faces of the doctors on stage turned as black as a pot bottom.

"Hmph! Curing one person is nothing—that's the easiest case. I don't believe she'll get that lucky again!"

"Exactly, it's just that I don't have those lenses. If I did, I could cure that girl's eyes too. It's no big deal."

Luo Sinian thought differently. He stared intently at the woman in white in the square, his heart pounding.

For the first time, he saw hope in someone he used to despise.

If Ji Yuntang could help others get their vision back, could she save his third brother's eyes too?

Luo Sinian wanted to ask Ji Yuntang about it right away, but considering the occasion, he held himself back.

Ji Qingqing was burning with jealousy, but then she heard Ji Qingfeng's voice.

"Qing Qing, curing one person doesn't mean anything. Maybe Ji Yuntang just got lucky and found a pair of lenses somewhere. That's not real medical skill. In my heart, she can't even compare to a single hair on your head."

Ji Qingqing smirked smugly. It seemed that in her second brother's heart, she was still their most amazing sister.

Her eyes softened like water, and she gave a sweet smile. "Second brother, don't say that. If sister hears you, she'll get upset again."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out again: "Tsk tsk, are you two fish and shrimp crawling out of a sewer? That's so cringey."

Ji Qingfeng and Ji Qingqing froze. Turning around, they saw it was Xie Liuzheng who had spoken.

Ji Qingqing couldn't take it anymore. He could insult Ji Qingfeng alone, but why drag her into it?

She was just telling the truth—how was that cringey?

Feeling wronged, she bit her lip and said softly, "Heir Xie, my brother and I were just talking. How did we offend you to make you so hostile toward us?"

"If there's a misunderstanding, Heir Xie, please tell us. My brother and I would be happy to make it up to you."

Although the Marquis Yongning Mansion was a powerful court family with centuries of history, it still fell short compared to the Duke Rong Mansion.

Xie Liuzheng was Duke Rong's only son, destined to inherit the title. Despite his unruly nature, his status was unmatched by Ji Huaiche. It was better to befriend him than to make an enemy of him.

Ji Qingqing naively thought that with her charm, a little apology would win him over. But she clearly underestimated Xie Liuzheng.

"No need for an apology. I just don't like the look of you two. If I hit a nerve, it's not because I'm being blunt—it's because I'm doing it on purpose."

Xie Liuzheng smirked playfully, twirling his folding fan in his fingers, his phoenix eyes full of mockery.

The sight of Ji Qingfeng and Ji Qingqing fuming was amusing, just like that annoying heir brother of his.

"You—" Ji Qingfeng's face turned green, but Ji Qingqing pulled him back. "Second brother, forget it. There are too many people here. If we make a scene, it'll backfire on us. Let's just watch the rest of the competition."
