Chapter 180: Bright Moon in the Sky, Dust on the Earth
In the next few days, Yuan Qing paid special attention to Mu Xiaoxiao's movements.
She just wanted to make sure whether the person who was watching her silently from behind was the one she thought he was.
As usual, Mu Xiaoxiao would go to the Imperial Hospital to get something before going out.
Yuan Qing followed her not too far away.
Mu Xiaoxiao also knew this.
When turning around the rockery, Yuan Qing heard the familiar sound of wheels again.
"It's really you."
The man in the wheelchair stiffened and subconsciously tried to move away.
But Yuan Qing would never let him go, so he walked around to him, blocked the wheel with his foot, and said to him, "Let's find a place to talk."
Doctor Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and Yuan Qing pushed him away.
The two arrived behind the rockery.
It was noon, when there were few people here, and it was a good time to talk.
Doctor Mu seemed very nervous.
He wasn't sure what the man in front of him wanted to say. He had been with the girl for several days, so he naturally knew that this man was very close to the girl and was the person she trusted the most.
Thinking of this, Doctor Mu clenched his hands. The familiar feeling of weakness at his wrists didn't seem to be able to calm him down.
Yuan Qing looked at his expression and asked, "Doctor Mu, do you know who I am?"
He shook his head.
Yuan Qing continued, "Mu Xiaoxiao is mine. She sold herself to me and will be a slave for life."
She deliberately provoked the man with words, trying to find flaws in his expression.
But he was so patient that he never got angry with her. Even when his emotions were most exposed, he just held her hand.
Yuan Qing sighed, "Xiao Xiao often told me about the past. She was still very young when she left home, and she can't remember many things clearly. She said that her greatest wish in life was to avenge her master, and..."
Doctor Mu seemed to have no reaction, but his body leaning forward slightly had already revealed his thoughts.
"And his senior brother, Ruan Chenjiu."
When Doctor Mu heard this, his body trembled slightly and even his breathing became a little rapid.
"So she was willing to be my slave for the rest of her life, just to help Master and Senior Brother get revenge." Yuan Qing continued to provoke him, "I also helped her look for them, but there was no trace of them in the world. I didn't want to make her sad, nor did I want to waste manpower and resources on two irrelevant people. That would be too worthless. So I lied to her and said that her Senior Brother had died when he was thrown off the mountain that year. This was told to me by an old beggar in the local area. Do you think she believed it?"
She watched his expression carefully, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Yuan Qing smiled, "She believed it, and cried her heart out that night. If she hadn't avenged her master personally, she would have swallowed poison and followed her brother that night."
There was a tone of contempt that played with people's hearts.
It seemed as if the person standing in front of him was just a dandy rich man who had been in a high position for a long time and treated human life as a joke. With just a few words, he could trample the person under his feet into the dirt.
In his eyes, everyone is just a plaything for his entertainment, and he can flatter and trample on them at will.
It seemed as if Doctor Mu just got to know the man in front of him at this moment.
No, the girl must not fall into this man's hands, he must save her!
Stimulated by these words, he finally asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"You have been with her for a long time, right?" Yuan Qing smiled coldly. "If I am not mistaken, you actually care about her a lot. If you hadn't said something behind her back, Xiao Xiao wouldn't have been accepted so quickly in the Imperial Hospital. This is her first time in Beijing, and she probably doesn't have many powerful friends in the entire capital, let alone in the palace. I have already inquired about it, and besides me, I am afraid that you, Doctor Mu, are the only one who has the authority to help her during this period."
"Do you think I'm right?" Yuan Qing pressed the handles on both sides of the wheelchair with both hands, forcing him to have nowhere to hide. "Divine Doctor Mu, no, I should call you Divine Doctor Ruan. Bright Moon in the Sky and Dust on the Earth, it's really a good name."
When his identity was revealed, Ruan Chenjiu suddenly let go of his hand.
But he still remained on guard against Yuan Qing, and his eyes, covered by the white cloth, looked straight over, as if he could see through the other person's thoughts through the thick cloth.
Yuan Qing let him stare at her like that.
The two were relatively speechless.
This person had the evidence against him, but he still talked to him alone.
Ruan Chenjiu knew in his heart that if he really wanted to make things difficult for him, it would probably be those people from Medicine King Valley who would be waiting for him.
He smiled bitterly and spread his hands on his legs, "Even if I admit it, it doesn't matter. I'm not the same person I was before."
"This is what I wanted to tell you," Yuan Qing crossed his arms and took a step back. "I don't want Mu Xiaoxiao to be trapped in the past. She is a very good poison master, and it would be a pity for her to die in the past. I am her master, and I am the only one who can decide her life or death."
She stared at him closely and said, "So, I don't want you to appear in front of her. Forgive my impoliteness, Dr. Ruan, given your current state, if you appear in front of Xiaoxiao, what do you think you will bring to her?"
It should be a burden.
Ruan Chenjiu leaned back, his pale face full of sorrow.
