The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 51 Spring Breeze Medical Clinic

"Then I wish my elder sister all the best in achieving her wish."

Princess Yongning nodded. She already had a plan in mind, so she didn't care how those people cursed her.

"However, since they can't get through to Father Emperor, they'll probably have to find another way: find a husband for my elder sister and whisper sweet nothings in her ear."

Princess Yongning curled her lip: "I'll fight them off one by one. Do you think I'm afraid of this trick?"

The two left with smiles.

Shen Hanyu returned to the courtyard, and Liang Fangrong came in carrying several pieces of clothing.

What happened at Fu'an Hall just now?

All she knew was that Lin Yun had angered Liang Siyu, but she didn't know the specifics of how it would be dealt with, because she still felt disgusted by what Old Madam Lin had said last time.

Shen Hanyu told Liang Fangrong about the Fu'an Hall incident, and Liang Fangrong's face turned ugly after hearing it.

"They've gone so far, and they still haven't driven the Lin family away?"

Shen Hanyu knew that Old Madam Lin wouldn't leave so easily and would probably cause a ruckus for a while.

Liang Siyu is about to go to Yucheng on business, while Lin Yun and Lin Yucheng will remain at the Marquis's residence. It remains to be seen what Old Madam Lin's plans are.

The mother and daughter each had their own worries. Liang Fangrong was thinking about the old lady Lin's advice to remarry, and she left with her heart in her throat, feeling distracted.

Miao Cui put the clothes away, and then Shen Hanyu said, "Come with me to a place tomorrow, and bring the curtain."

Miao Cui took the curtain and hung it to one side. Shen Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "You should wear one too."

This was the meaning of concealing one's identity. Miao Cui nodded and didn't ask Shen Hanyu what she was going to do.

Having met Li Jun yesterday, Liang Ruoxue stopped bothering her and instead went to Liang Ruoyan and Liang Ruochu to show off.

Shen Hanyu finally had some peace and quiet. She took Miaocui and left through a side gate of the Marquis's mansion, getting into a very simple-looking carriage.

This was the exact opposite route they usually took, and Miao Cui lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.

"We don't think we've been here much before."

The street where Shen Hanyu and Miaocui live is very lively in the morning, with breakfast stalls everywhere. It is far from the powerful and wealthy residents, but it has its own unique charm.

As the carriage slowed down, Shen Hanyu led Miaocui off the carriage and walked over.

The two of them, wearing veils, walked by. The people just glanced at them and then went about their own business.

Shen Hanyu stopped at Chunfeng Medical Clinic. Sitting at the clinic counter was a girl with an oval face and two round buns, who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing people approaching, the young woman's eyes lit up. She came out from behind the counter and asked, "Where are you two feeling unwell? You can come to me for treatment of any minor ailments."

Shen Hanyu thought to herself that she had indeed calculated the date correctly. In her previous life, Yuan Qi had mentioned that she had come to Chunfeng Medical Clinic as an apprentice in the early spring.

She was able to get to know Yuan Qi thanks to his kind heart.

After marrying into the Guangning Marquis's mansion, she suffered every day. The mansion's physician naturally wouldn't treat her, so she saved some money and went to Chunfeng Medical Clinic.

However, she had a combination of new and old injuries, and was short of money. At that time, Yuan Qi was already a doctor at Chunfeng Medical Clinic. Yuan Qi paid for her medical expenses and treated her injuries without asking how they came about.

Seeing that she wasn't sleeping well, he prescribed a calming remedy, the same one she had given to Pei Du that day.

The two had met a few times and had a fairly good relationship. They even chatted a bit while she was seeing a doctor, but unfortunately, she was always quickly found by people from the Guangning Marquis's residence each time.

Upon seeing the fourteen or fifteen-year-old Yuan Qi, Shen Hanyu smiled behind the curtain.

“I’ve been waking up after only a few hours of sleep lately, and I’m having some insomnia and vivid dreams. I would appreciate it if the doctor could prescribe some medicine for me.”

Yuan Qi smiled shyly and coughed twice: "I am only an apprentice now, but I can treat insomnia and excessive dreaming. Wait a moment, I will write a prescription and get the medicine for you right away."

Shen Hanyu watched as Yuan Qi stepped onto the chair, dipped his brush in ink, and began writing rapidly on the paper.

Miao Cui watched the young medical apprentice from behind, swallowing her questions.

She could tell that Shen Hanyu was quite happy today.

The prescription was quickly written, and Yuan Qi handed it to Shen Hanyu. The old doctor then came out.

"You silly girl, let me take a look first." The old doctor smiled apologetically at Shen Hanyu. "She's just an apprentice, so I have to check the prescriptions she writes before I can feel at ease."

Shen Hanyu nodded in understanding.

Yuan Qi stood on tiptoe and said, "Master, the prescription I wrote is absolutely fine."

The old doctor took it and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu paid Yuan Qi the money and asked the pharmacy clerk to get the medicine.

It just so happens that the Spring Festival banquet at the Founding Duke's Mansion is coming up soon, so I'll give this to Pei Du as a token of my gratitude.

After glancing at Yuan Qi one last time, Shen Hanyu took her things and left.

She's still at the Marquis of Anping's residence, and too much contact with Yuan Qi would only harm her. The current situation is good enough.

Miao Cui looked at the things in Shen Hanyu's hands, and only asked after getting into the carriage, "Is this for Young Master Pei?"

Shen Hanyu did not deny it.

Miao Cui seemed to be thinking of something, and though she wanted to offer some advice, she held back and said nothing.

After returning to her residence, Shen Hanyu encountered Lin Yucheng on her way to her courtyard. Lin Yucheng was holding a scroll of poetry and was also taken aback when he saw Shen Hanyu, and then took two steps back.

"Miss Shen."

Shen Hanyu glanced at him, then looked away and continued walking forward.

"Miss Shen, please wait!"

Shen Hanyu stopped to see what he wanted to say.

"What happened yesterday..."

"If you feel guilty, your cousin hasn't gone to Yucheng yet; his courtyard is over there."

Shen Hanyu pointed in one direction.

Miao Cui suppressed a laugh, knowing that Shen Hanyu didn't want to get involved with Lin Yucheng, and that old lady Lin was no pushover either.

Lin Yu was speechless, clutching the book and standing there, unsure of what to do.

"If there's nothing else, Young Master Lin, I'll head back now."

Lin Yucheng exclaimed, "Miss Shen, have you read this collection of poems?"

Shen Hanyu lowered her eyes and then shook her head.

"I only know a few words and have never read any books."

This was, of course, a lie to Lin Yucheng; she really didn't want to get involved with the Lin family.

Lin Yucheng finally managed to run into Shen Hanyu, but was repeatedly rebuffed. He couldn't hide his thoughts on his face. He seemed to have thought of something and happily told Shen Hanyu.

"I heard that Princess Yongning is going to run a girls' school. Miss Shen can go there."

Shen Hanyu had heard a little about the girls' school. Princess Yongning had indeed accomplished this in her previous life. She had studied there for a while with the people from the Marquis's mansion, but was soon sent to the Guangning Earl's mansion.

"Thank you for informing me, Young Master Lin."

Shen Hanyu thanked him and left in a hurry, leaving Lin Yucheng standing there looking bewildered.

Back in her room, Shen Hanyu relaxed completely. She took out the medicinal herbs, picked up a piece of Suzhou embroidery fabric, and compared it to her own, preparing to make a Chinese medicine pouch.

She had originally planned to make a sachet, but considering her and Pei Du's identities, it would be bad if someone saw the sachet and questioned them.

Seeing Shen Hanyu doing everything herself, Miao Cui didn't say anything to let her take over, but instead helped Shen Hanyu tidy up the loose threads.
