Chapter 421: Incurable
Thus, Mengyu spent her days teaching the children cultivation, and her nights entering the space to refine Spiritual Medicine. A dozen days swiftly passed, and the New Year was approaching.
Those children all made considerable progress; the older ones had all become Level 1 Martial Artists.
Even those who had not yet broken through to Martial Artist had developed some Martial Power, no longer afraid of being bullied when they went out to scavenge.
Moreover, their cultural knowledge had significantly improved. During this period of study, many children had learned quite a number of characters.
Mengyu planned to send some children to school when it reopened.
After healing Long Zhenghui, more sick people continuously sought Mengyu for treatment.
Mengyu was basically able to cure the sick, and even with difficult-to-treat diseases, she could mostly heal them with a single Revitalizing Pill that she refined with Spiritual Medicine.
But due to her consultation fee being one-tenth of one’s wealth, ordinary people were reluctant to seek her for treatment, as it is customary in China to not flaunt one’s wealth — nobody wants to reveal how much money they have.
This in turn gave her some relief.
Despite this, her reputation as a Divine Doctor gradually spread.
Just after the New Year had passed, another patient was brought into the City North Courtyard. However, the moment Mengyu saw the person who brought in the patient, her expression changed.
Mengyu did not recognize the patient, but she had seen the enchantingly handsome young man who brought in the patient when she was following Jiang Huaiyu as Ah Piao.
This man was Jiang Huaiyu’s lover in her previous life.
In her past life, Jiang Huaiyu falsely claimed Leng Xiangyu to be her mother, gaining a large fortune from Leng Xiangyu, and then married Gu Dongxing, acquiring an enviable status from him.
But in reality, neither Leng Xiangyu nor Gu Dongxing were genuinely affectionate towards her; Leng Xiangyu’s real daughter was the Eldest Lady of the Nan Family, and since they were not of true mother and daughter relation, their bond wasn’t deep.
To keep up appearances, she constantly gave Jiang Huaiyu money.
As for Gu Dongxing, he treated marrying Jiang Mengyu as a task to be completed, mostly focusing on his career and seldom coming home. When he did return, the two were not affectionate towards each other.
Gu Dongxing’s face was always frosty, and Jiang Huaiyu seemed somewhat afraid of him.
Consequently, the lonely and restless Jiang Huaiyu eventually had an affair.
And the man she had an affair with was the man standing in front of them now — Xie Hongjun!
Just by hearing his name, one could tell that his grandfather was an old Red Army soldier; his family was naturally not an ordinary one.
It was uncertain whether Gu Dongxing had any suspicions, but after Jiang Huaiyu’s infidelity, Gu Dongxing came home even less, and he didn’t seem to like the daughter Jiang Huaiyu bore either.
Having been reborn, Jiang Mengyu thought back and realized that the daughter born to Jiang Huaiyu first showed slight resemblances to Xie Hongjun, but as she grew up, she bore an ever closer likeness to Xie Hongjun.
With looks that compared to the legendary Pan An, that daughter grew up increasingly beautiful.
Had Jiang Huaiyu not been dragged by Leng Xiangyu to jump off a building, their marriage would have certainly come to an end.
Mengyu looked at the patient suffering from a severe headache and said, "I’m sorry, I cannot treat this person; please take him to the hospital instead." Mengyu directly addressed Xie Hongjun.
Xie Hongjun furrowed his brow: "You haven’t even examined him, how do you know he’s untreatable?"
Mengyu looked at him: "You should know that there are three types of patients I do not treat, right?"
Xie Hongjun’s heart skipped a beat: "My father is neither a great evildoer nor an unfilial person."
Jiang Mengyu smiled: "It seems you are aware of my rules for treating patients. There are three types of patients I do not treat: great evildoers, unfilial people, and those without fate. Therefore—"
