Chapter 50: The Legendary Physician Bian Wen

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Ho!”

An Rushuang scoffed.

“That being the case, physician Ye, as long as Nanny Liu trusts you, I will follow her decision. You can acupuncture her without the guidance of your master.”

Although knowing An Rushuang said those words at a fit of anger, Ye Chengzhi, nearly persuaded by her, shook his head after a second thought.

“Four years ago, when my apprenticeship began, I promised my master not to acupuncture anybody in the next five years. I shouldn’t break my promise now.”

“So you will see her die without doing anything?! What did you promise Nanny Liu several days ago!”

An Rushuang said peacefully, her expression as frosty as ice, cold enough to make one shudder.

Ye Chengzhi, taking half step back, lowered his head.

An Rushuang felt serious headache once thought of those two physicians, one of which was so merciless that cared nothing about the patients; one of which was such a coward, daring not to make a decision by his own. There was really no perfection in the world.

“And you! You might as well be a hermit if you don’t want to practice medicine any longer. Never ever let another quack be your apprentice and push the patient to death again!”

An Rushuang kicked the door with all her strength, producing a dull thump.

Being stupefied, Ye Chengzhi remembered Hong Yu’s bite. A fierce lady would surely have a fierce maid.

Suddenly, there came a sound inside the door.

“You…Who are you? I have never met such an… an unreasonable girl!”

Given the heavy breath, the old man was obviously infuriated by An Rushuang’s powerful kick at the door.

“I want to ask you, either, old man.” An Rushuang made another kick after sneering coldly. “Why do you hide in the room for fear of turning up in public? Are you a wanted criminal or what?!”

Seeing the lady scolding his teacher with hands resting on her hips, Ye Chengzhi was too shocked to say a word.

“What a shrew… What a shrew…”

The old man behind the door could say nothing else but these three words.

“I am a shrew? If I were a shrew, you would be a quack. There was no record about shrew scolding others in the history, but there were numerous stories about how quacks killed their patients. You are very likely to ruin your ancestors’ reputation!”

Thinking of Nanny Liu in danger, An Rushuang, being so worried and angry with her pretty face as cold as frost, hoped she could kick the doors open immediately!

Taking a few quick gasps, the old man howled in rage, “Quack? How dare you to call me a quack! Listen! I merely save, rather than harm people’s lives. I definitely won’t meet you today. Go back where you come from as soon as possible. As the descendant of the legendary physician Bian Que (TN: according to Chinese legend, Bian Que was the earliest known Chinese physician whose medical skills were quite amazing), I will never break my promise!”

Upon hearing his master’s thundering voice, Ye Chengzhi, having never heard him saying so much words, was stupefied before letting out a sigh. “My master is really infuriated. You should not call him quack; it’s a taboo for a physician. That being the case, I have to make a bold try. If Nanny Liu were cured, I would not ask you for a single coin. If not, I would apologize by committing suicide!”

He found An Rushuang was lost in thought.

“The descendant of Bian Que?” She murmured after a while.

Shocked by her words, Ye Chengzhi couldn’t help shuddering. He hadn’t noticed that his master, so old as him, was over excited, even revealing his real identity so recklessly.

They could no longer stay at the capital if it got known to the public!

Ye Chengzhi hoped this lady was not well-informed. Their stories in other countries might have not spread to Nanqi Kingdom.

An Rushuang couldn’t know who the descendant of Bian Que was if she hadn’t be reborn.

Now, everything was crystal clear to her.

“Oh, I know. As the descendant of the medical sage, no wonder you are so arrogant and pompous. However, you gave up practicing medicine because you killed a patient by accidence three years ago, am I right? As far as I know, the patient was of high social status. You did come to the capital in secret, and you are indeed a wanted criminal!”

An Rushuang said emphatically with a smile, but without a single wisp of amusement in her eyes.

Ye Chengzhi was alert at her words. How could this lady, who hardly left her manor, know his master’s secret?

Did they fall into her trap from the very beginning? If it were true, how adept was she at plot!

Ye Chengzhi didn’t dare to think about that. He stared at the expressionless girl in confusion.

After a long while of silence, there came a sound behind the door. “What do you want?”

It turned much older all of a sudden.

With a twitch in his heart, Ye Chengzhi turned to look at An Rushuang.

“I want nothing, merely looking down upon you who give up being a physician just because a single accidence. I know nothing about medicine, but I have heard a saying—never be afraid to correct a mistake.”

There was a cold laugh resounding in the air.

“Correct… Ha-ha. The patient had been dead and turned into ashes. So you tell me, how can I correct the mistake?”
