A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Jia Yuntian felt that Shen Lingshu's tone was much more pleasant to listen to.

Such a reasonable wife, how could her daughter be so unruly and rude?

She must have taken after her father!

Jia Yuntian responded respectfully to Shen Lingshu: "Madam, please wait a moment. The young general is upstairs. I will go and inform him."

"Thank you for your trouble, young master," Shen Lingshu said politely as always.

After watching Jia Yuntian leave, Shen Lingshu turned around and reprimanded Wang Mengling.

"Ling'er, when did you become so ill-mannered?"

"Mother..." Wang Mengling pouted and argued, "I was just too worried about my brother, so I spoke a little hastily..."

Wang Mengling's concern for her brother was understandable, and since they were outside, Shen Lingshu decided not to pursue the matter further.

"Greetings, Madam!" A soft child's voice called out. Shen Lingshu looked down and saw Zhou Ruo looking up at her with a smile.

"Oh, what a bright and lovely child!" Shen Lingshu exclaimed in amazement, having never seen such a spirited little girl before.

She remembered that Wang Mengling wasn't like this when she was little. By nature, Wang Mengling was much rougher than Zhou Ruo when she was young.

Zhou Ruo looked up after hearing Shen Lingshu and Jia Yuntian talking.

She didn't like Wang Mengling's voice, but she didn't pay attention to it at first.

It wasn't until she heard Shen Lingshu's gentle and proper tone that she turned her attention to her.

After recognizing the person, she jumped down from the chair behind the desk, walked to Shen Lingshu's side, and took the initiative to greet her.

Wang Mengling called out, "Zhou Ruo?" She hadn't noticed Zhou Ruo's presence when she looked around the clinic earlier.

She was quite surprised when it suddenly appeared in front of her.

Zhou Ruo then looked at Wang Mengling and asked her directly without addressing her, "Is your brother sick again?"

"Me! You...?" How did you know?

Wang Mengling had witnessed Zhou Ruo's medical skills, but she didn't take them seriously at all.

After Zhou Ruo gave Wang Mengling the medicine to take back last time and cured Wang Yucong, Wang Mengling completely forgot Zhou Ruo's kindness.

Shen Lingshu asked in surprise, "Good child, how did you know my son was sick?"

Just then, Zhao Jinzhong and Jia Yuntian came down the stairs.

"Be loyal!" Wang Mengling exclaimed upon seeing him and immediately rushed over, grabbing his wrists with both hands.

Zhao Jinzhong immediately pulled his hand away from Wang Mengling's, saying, "Miss Wang, please have some self-respect."

Shen Lingshu's eyes darkened; she had no idea when her daughter had become so frivolous.

Why would she take the initiative to grab a boy's hand?

"Ling'er!" Shen Lingshu scolded, and Wang Mengling immediately let go of her hand.

She timidly withdrew her hands, only then realizing that she had not only been impolite, but her mother had also seen it.

But Zhao Jinzhong's action of withdrawing his hand caused the temperature in her heart to plummet.

She was so conflicted that she couldn't speak for a moment. Her face was flushed and she stood there with her head down, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Shen Lingshu walked over, and in a few steps, she saw Zhao Jinzhong's appearance clearly.

His upright posture and slightly youthful face could not conceal his upright character.

However, his still slightly sleepy eyes made even his handsome face look a little tired.

Shen Lingshu first smiled and nodded at Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong clasped his hands in greeting and said to Shen Lingshu, "Greetings, Madam. Are you Miss Wang's mother, the First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion?"

Judging from the way Shen Lingshu scolded Wang Mengling just now, Zhao Jinzhong guessed that she was Wang Mengling's mother.

"Indeed, I am Lady Shen Lingshu of the Marquis's residence." After acknowledging this, Shen Lingshu praised Zhao Jinzhong.

"Young Master Zhao is a handsome and talented man with exceptional skills. He even defeated my Yu Cong in the martial arts competition."

Shen Lingshu was on tenterhooks. Although she was preoccupied with the purpose of coming to the clinic, she still managed to say all the polite things she needed to say.

Zhao Jinzhong wasn't one for small talk, so he went straight to the point: "Madam Shen, what brings you here today?"

Before Shen Lingshu could speak, Zhou Ruo said directly, "Brother, the madam's son has been born with the Heavenly Wolf."

Shen Lingshu: ?!

Zhao Jinzhong: "Wang Yucong?"

Qian Lai and Fu Da were organizing medicinal herbs on the medicine cabinet when they heard Zhao Jinzhong mention Wang Yucong.

The two stopped what they were doing and listened intently to what the people below the ladder were saying.

Shen Lingshu was completely stunned. Wang Yucong had only been brought back to the Marquis's residence last night, and his illness worsened overnight.

How did Zhou Ruo find out that he was infected with Sirius?

Shen Lingshu couldn't understand, "How did this young lady know about my Cong'er's situation?"

Zhou Ruo seemed a little impatient. "Mrs. Shen, I'm getting worried for you!"

"You just wanted to get his medicine, but you haven't said so for ages. If you keep dragging this on, he'll die!"

Wang Mengling was furious. She took two steps forward and said to Zhou Ruo, "Zhou Ruo! What makes you think my brother is going to die?"

Jia Yuntian stopped Wang Mengling, preventing her from getting any closer to Zhou Ruo.

He said to Wang Mengling in an annoyed tone, "Miss Wang, our young lady is, after all, Princess Ji'an."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor for speaking to the princess like that?"

"Me!" Wang Mengling immediately stopped being presumptuous.

Zhao Jinzhong looked at Wang Mengling and suddenly remembered what An Chang had said to her: "I've never seen such a brainless young lady!"

Sure enough.

"Princess?" Shen Lingshu was unaware of Zhou Ruo's identity and looked at the child in front of her with even greater surprise.

"Is this young lady the Princess Ji'an, whom the Emperor recently bestowed upon her title?"

Jia Yuntian: "Yes, Madam."

Shen Lingshu knew about the Emperor's decree bestowing the title of Princess Ji'an, but she never imagined that it would be this little girl in front of her.

No wonder this child looks so special; it turns out his destiny is more noble than that of ordinary children.

Shen Lingshu immediately bowed to Zhou Ruo and apologized, "I have failed to properly educate my daughter. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I will punish her severely when we return today."

Zhou Ruo ignored Wang Mengling's rudeness and simply said, "Madam, I usually ignore her!"

But I know you're a good person, so I'm willing to help you!

"You'll help me?" Shen Lingshu had no idea that Zhou Ruo was the one who could produce the elixir that could cure the Sirius disease.

She looked at Zhao Jinzhong and asked him, "Young Master Zhao, I heard that you have a medicine that can cure Sirius disease."

Zhao Jinzhong nodded. "Exactly."

"Then what did the princess mean by helping me?" Shen Lingshu's gaze darted back and forth between Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo.

Zhao Jinzhong explained, "Madam, you may not know this, but all our elixirs were provided by my sister."

Amidst repeated shocks, Shen Lingshu finally understood the situation: Zhou Ruo was the backbone of the Ling Shu Hall.

"That was my ignorance. I was disrespectful in front of the princess. Please, princess, save my son's life."

Seeing that Shen Lingshu had reached this point in her speech, Jia Yuntian turned around and asked Zhou Ruo, "Princess, one Plague-Clearing Pill?"

Like other patients who come to the clinic for medicine, he went to the counter to get the anti-epidemic pill.

Zhou Ruo waved his hand and said, "No, no, the Plague-Clearing Pill can't save Madam's son!"

Both Zhao Jinzhong and Jia Yuntian asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Zhou Ruoneng could sense that Wang Yucong had already stepped onto the road to the underworld.

"He took the Qi-Subduing Pill," Zhou Ruo said, turning to look at Shen Lingshu and asking, "Madam, is that right?"
