With a command, the tall ship turned around and slowly moved towards the shore.

Gradually, as it neared, the figures on the shore became clear.

Those with sharp eyes had already spotted Qi Yue at the bow, and they all began to point her out.

“Look, the Divine Doctor is there!”

Qi Yue on the ship heard them and frowned.

“What’s going on? Haven’t the Shen Family given up hope yet?”

“It seems so,” Qu Wei pointed to a few people on the shore, “Aren’t those the Shen Family’s people? Eh…”

Qu Wei was puzzled for a moment, “…isn’t that Eldest Young Master Shen?”

Qi Yue followed the direction he was pointing.

It was indeed Shen Zikuang.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, with a straight back, followed by a servant.

Seeing Qi Yue look over, he suddenly said something to the servant behind him, then began pushing the wheelchair towards the back of the Linjiang Pavilion.

Qi Yue curled her lip and said to Qu Wei sideways, “Big brother, go down and ask if we can disembark behind Linjiang Pavilion.”

Qu Wei left for a while, and, as expected, the ship took a detour and headed around back.

Soon the ship passed through the center of the lake and arrived behind Linjiang Pavilion.

In the past there was a water gate here, but now it was wide open, with Shen Zikuang sitting in a wheelchair, waving at them.

Shortly after, the tall ship docked at the shore, and Qi Yue, along with Shopkeeper Zhang and three others, disembarked, after which the ship headed back to the lake.

“Miss Qi.”

Shen Zikuang, sitting in the wheelchair, greeted her with a bow, and Qi Yue returned the gesture, joking, “Why are you here? You couldn’t be here to ask me to treat your younger brother, could you?”

“Dare not! Dare not!” Shen Zikuang waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes shining, “What I want is for Miss Qi not to take action.”

Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, “Looks like you have a lot of confidence in my medical skills.”

Shen Zikuang smiled and pointed at himself.

“Of course. My condition was much worse than Shen Ziao’s at the time.”

Although he had lost consciousness that day, in the past few days, when he saw his neatly dressed wounds while changing bandages, he couldn’t help but marvel.

It was a technique he had never seen before.

Hearing this, Qi Yue smiled slightly.

“How have you been these past few days? Your father…”

She hadn’t finished her sentence when Shen Zikuang interrupted her.

“I have no father. I’m not a Shen Family member at all.”

“Huh?” Qi Yue was surprised.

Seeing Shen Zikuang’s forlorn face and his look of helpless confusion, she didn’t ask any further.

After all, this was a private matter for others, and it was impolite to pry too much.

But Shen Zikuang seemed to have opened up, showing a desire to spill everything.

“That day, Shen Wanzhen came to ask me for the prescription again, and demanded that I tell him the whereabouts of the pharmacy worker. I refused to say anything, and he slapped me. Then he slipped up.”

Qu Wei, who was standing by, was hooked and hurriedly asked, “What did he say, that you’re not his son?!”

Shen Zikuang nodded.

“He said, ‘There is no one like me in the Shen Family!'”

“I sensed something was wrong with his words, so I pressed him. At first, Shen Wanzhen refused to speak, but it was Shen Ziao who let it slip, and Shen Wanzhen admitted it.”

Through Shen Zizhen’s passionate narrative, Qi Yue roughly understood.

In Beiyuan, the lineage relation is valued highly, and it is quite shameful for a man over 25 years old not to have a son. Generally, such men would adopt someone or take in a child from elsewhere.

Shen Wanzhen had no children with his first wife, and when he turned 25, the Shen Family adopted Shen Zikuang, who was nearly two years old, from a distant branch of the Shen Family.

At first, everything went well. Shen Zikuang was clever and pleasing to the Shen Family, and Shen Wanzhen’s wife treated him as her own child.

But the good times did not last. In the year Shen Zikuang turned twelve, Shen Wanzhen’s first wife passed away.

Not long after, Murong Xueyu entered the household, becoming Shen Zikuang’s stepmother.

At the beginning, everything was fine, but after a few years, when Murong Xueyu gave birth to Shen Ziao, his days became difficult, and it was from that time he devoted himself to business, trying to win Shen Zizhen’s approval.

“I only now understand why he was so strict with me before, yet so lenient towards Shen Ziao and the others,”

As he spoke, Shen Zizhen felt a bit uneasy, “Miss Qi, was I too impulsive, ruining your plan?”

Qi Yue fell silent.

In fact, according to clan relations, although Shen Zikuang was adopted, as the eldest son, he was the legitimate heir to the Shen Family. As long as he did not renounce it, the Shen Family was his.

However, Shen Zikuang was prideful by nature. Not voicing this meant he did not want to fight for it, which conveniently made him available to work for her and earn money.

“Not at all, it’s just right. After eating, let’s go back and move,”

While speaking, they had already entered the Linjiang Pavilion from the back courtyard.

But this meal was destined to not be pleasant.

They had barely eaten halfway when Shopkeeper Feng rushed in to report, saying that both the Shen Family and the Ma Family had arrived, causing a huge commotion on the first floor, and they urgently requested Qi Yue to come and save someone.

Upon hearing this, both Shen Zikuang and Qu Wei turned their gaze to her, clearly indicating she should make a decision.

Qi Yue, not quite full yet, paused with her chopsticks and instructed, “Tell them to go back first, and I’ll come over after I finish eating.”

Shopkeeper Feng dashed out hastily.

Qu Wei curiously asked, “Why has the Ma Family come? Shouldn’t the two families be at loggerheads with each other?”

Qi Yue let out a laugh and continued eating without a word.

Shen Zikuang, however, said, “They must have reached some tacit agreement, now they are all hoping for Miss Qi’s miraculous healing.”

Qu Wei nodded, “With just the Ma Family, it’s unlikely the Shen Family would compromise so easily. Could it be that Murong Mingyue has also made a move?”

Qi Yue set down her chopsticks and scoffed.

“Aside from her, who else could redefine deliberate harm as a personal grudge?”

Shen Zikuang also furrowed his brows.

“Looking at it this way, taking back the pharmaceutical factory won’t be an easy task.”

“Indeed,” Qu Wei agreed, “Sister, do you have any good ideas? If things go south, we may end up confronting the Murong Family, and then we would be facing enemies on three fronts!”

Shen Zikuang looked at Qi Yue with eyes full of expectation, “Miss Qi, whatever you need me to do, just command.”

Qi Yue curled the corner of her lips.

“When the time comes, you just need to cooperate.”

“And what about me? What should I do, brother?” Qu Wei asked eagerly.

Qi Yue looked Qu Wei up and down, and it took her a while to think of something suitable for him to do.

“I think you could bluff a little,”

Qu Wei was puzzled, “What does that mean?”

Just as Qi Yue was about to speak, Shopkeeper Feng ran back in hurriedly.

“Miss Qi, they refuse to leave, insisting that you must go now.”

“Then let’s go,”

Qi Yue was going to have Auntie Zhang go back and rest first, but she insisted on following.

“If there’s any trouble, this old servant will risk her life to protect Miss.”

Seeing her seriousness, Qi Yue no longer objected.

The trip was mainly to reason with them, so there shouldn’t be any danger. Might as well go!

No sooner had they left the Linjiang Pavilion than people from the Shen and Ma Families surrounded them, clamoring noisily.

“Divine Doctor Qi, please hurry and save someone!”

Qi Yue wasn’t in a hurry to proceed, instead she casually said, “What happened? Both families seem so anxious, where should I go first?”

“To the Shen Family,” Ma Qun said impatiently.

“Oh?” Qi Yue pretended to be unaware, “Since when have the Ma Family and the Shen Family become so friendly? Even helping to summon a doctor? If I remember correctly, haven’t you two families been at odds for many years now?”

Ma Qun’s withered face immediately stiffened, and the person from the Shen Family was extremely anxious, quickly explaining the situation.

“Miss Qi, that’s the situation, please hurry and save our Second Young Master Shen!”

Yet Qi Yue furrowed her brows.

“Given that Second Young Master Shen is injured in that area, it wouldn’t be proper for a young woman like me to treat him. You should seek another highly skilled doctor!”
