Of course it hurt. How could his neck not hurt when it was opened?
Seeing his son come back to life, Bai Gangru was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After she finished treating Bai Wenyuan's wounds, Lee Miaoyin was also exhausted.
However, the way the crowd looked at her was no longer the same.
Lee Chengji would never have thought that his daughter, who was never taken seriously, would learn such a miraculous medical skill.
Bai Wenhao's gaze on Lee Miaoyin also seemed to be different than before. The girl in front of him seemed to be covered by a veil, and she was faintly mysterious. It made one want to explore her.
"I hope Master Bai can keep this a secret for Miaoyin. Miaoyin doesn't want to be a topic of conversation." Lili turned to Bai Gangru, her expression sincere. She knew that since he was a friend of Master Chiang's, he must be someone who understood his feelings.
Bai Gangru nodded. The panic he had earlier had disappeared, and his face returned to its usual calm self. "Don't worry, Second Miss Li. I will definitely keep my mouth shut for today's matters." He thought to himself, "As expected of a student taught by Master Chiang. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and knows the ways of life, so it may not be a good thing for him to be in the limelight." His good impression of Lee Miaoyin deepened a lot, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances; the more he saw, the more he liked her.
After sending off Bai Gangru and his son, Lee Chengji hurried back to the side hall. Only Madame Xu and the others were still in shock, leaving Lee Miaoyin's figure there.
"Where's Second Miss?" Lee Chengji asked the servant that was cleaning the room.
"Second Miss said she's tired. Let's go back to her room to rest." The servant replied with a trembling voice. Thinking of the scene when Second Miss cut open Young Master Bai's neck, he felt as if his skin was about to burst out all over.
Lee Chengji turned to Lee Miaoyu, who was in a daze, and asked, "You entered the academy together with Miaoyin. Do you know what she usually learns?"
Lee Miaoyu shook her head recklessly, "She followed Master Chiang to study medicine, her daughter and sister-in-law were not interested, so she didn't pay attention to all of this."
At this moment, Madame Xu gradually calmed down and said slowly, "Having lived for so many years, this is the first time that I've seen such medical skills. Is this how Master Chiang usually teaches his students?"
Lee Chengji shook his head. How would he know? He had never cared about her, never paid attention to her, and he didn't seem to know much about her. When he thought of the way she had cut Bai Wenyuan's neck, he felt a chill down his spine, as if the tip of the blade was aimed at his own neck.
That night, Old Madam Li invited Lee Chengji to her courtyard.
"It's a success, my mother heard about the matter in the front hall. From the looks of it, Second Miss will become an expert in the future. From today onwards, you will treat her well and perhaps make up for it." The old lady had a regretful expression on her face. She regretted not being able to see Lee Miaoyin's extraordinary side earlier.
Lee Chengji shook his head: "Mom, I'm afraid it's too late. Although this girl is friendly on the surface, she has a cold and indifferent personality. All these years, I haven't seen her, and she has never come to see me, her father." Lee Chengji did not like Lee Miaoyin. Everyone in the family knew about her, and he did not intend to be good to her in the future. He was just a doctor, so what future prospects could he have? "She was still a girl, and after a few years, when she was old enough, she would find someone who could help her on her official journey and marry her.
She saw things a little further than Lee Chengji. With Lee Miaoyin's looks, if she could become famous in the future, it would be possible for her to marry into the House of the Marquis with her current identity as a direct daughter. Her son was a short-sighted person ..
