Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 848: Gilding

"Not long ago, my sister took Xu Huanduo away. Although I didn't think he could cure her, I still wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, after his treatment, the poison in my sister attacked her more frequently. Mr. Jian Geng, do you think you took your anger out on my sister because you were dissatisfied with me and sent Xu Huanduo to harm my sister?" Qiao Anbo asked.

Jian Liang said, "You have such a wild imagination. Do you know how long it has been since I last saw Xu Huanduo? When you mentioned his name just now, I had to recall what he looked like a long time ago. Do you think I know him very well?"

"Aren't you familiar with it?" Qiao Anbo asked.

"Of course not. He just treated my illness and we haven't had any contact since then." Jian Liang replied.

"But he always mentions Jian Gengyuan." Qiao Anbo said.

"What? He mentioned me? What did he say?" Jian Liang asked.

"He always said that he cured his old friend Jian Gengyuan, and Jian Gengyuan praised him for his excellent medical skills," said Qiao Anbo.

Jian Liang did not expect that after so long, his impression of Xu Huanduo was not so clear, and Xu Huanduo still mentioned him and said that he was his old friend. In fact, the only intersection between the two was that Xu Huanduo had cured Jian Liang once. They were not "old friends", let alone acquaintances. Xu Huanduo mentioned Jian Liang not because he really regarded him as an old friend, nor because he really felt how gratified he was to have cured him. It was just that whenever he mentioned the experience of curing Jian Gengyuan, some people were more likely to think that he had a lot of experience as a doctor, and some people thought that he was an old friend of Gengyuan, which was not simple in itself. Xu Huanduo just gilded himself by telling others that he had cured Jian Gengyuan.

Jian Liang said, "Old friend? Think about it, if he really knows me so well, why does he keep talking about old things from so long ago? I'm really not familiar with him."

Qiao Anbo thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that Xu Huanduo mentioned to others that he cured your illness just to brag about himself?"

Jian Liang said, "What do you think? I don't know why he mentioned me, but the fact is that after he cured me that time, I never contacted him again."

Qiao Anbo said, "If you weren't angry with my sister because you were not dissatisfied with me, then why didn't you stop your daughter from shielding the murderer who indirectly killed my sister? I have already told you how important Lan Haoxuan was to my sister. After my sister passed away, I knew that some people from the Mangyan Palace, with your daughter as the core, were shielding him. I was very angry. I suppressed my anger and talked to you calmly about this matter, hoping that you would stop your daughter from continuing to shield the murderer. Why didn't you stop it? Isn't it because you really took your anger out on my sister? My sister's passing away is what you wanted to see, right? The murderer who indirectly killed my sister catered to your wishes, right? Not only did you not want him to pay the price, but you also wanted to reward him?"

Jian Liang said to him, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Then he immediately said to Tan Sizhi, "He has started talking nonsense."

Tan Si asked Qiao Anbo: "Let me ask you a question. You just said that he was the murderer who indirectly killed your sister. What is going on? I want to hear you talk in detail."
