The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 116 - 97: Qiu Yan’s Worries (Part 2)

After being directly expelled from the clan, the aftermath is still quite powerful.

Now, watching them slowly rise again, there’s a sudden feeling of unease.

"Perhaps, we should not let them stay here any longer."

If it comes to dealing with people, Xiao Changfa has his ways.

He might even conveniently take that girl away for some fun.

"Do not act rashly," the Clan Leader sternly warned, "Don’t be too thorough in your actions; leave some leeway for future encounters."

"Father, do you think there’s any chance of reconciliation with the main branch?" Xiao Changfa didn’t believe so: "I think we must eliminate them completely; since we don’t want them to rise, we should uproot them while they’re still sprouts."

Dealing with this group of women and children doesn’t require many people. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

If it weren’t for the plans to move to a new residence, a single fire could solve the problem.

"Can you ensure it’s done without anyone noticing?" the Xiao Clan Leader asked, "If not, don’t cause more trouble, and don’t forget that behind the main branch stands Master Zhou Qi."

Master Zhou Qi is the most eccentric; if you dare to touch the people he’s protecting, the cost is beyond what you can bear.

"But Father, should we really wait for them to develop?" Xiao Changfa was well aware that much within the clan currently belonged to the main branch.

People are like this: when they are weak, they don’t think of anything else.

However, when they have enough skills and power, they will surely strike back.

If the main branch comes to reclaim what belongs to them, it would be a significant loss both publicly and for them.

To protect these assets, we must preemptively strike.

"Keep an eye on them, but don’t act rashly." The Clan Leader pondered: "Pay attention and see if they have any other connections besides Master Zhou Qi."

The Clan Leader regretted it too, never expecting the main branch to rise again so quickly.

Back then, either the expulsion should have been more thorough, or some courtesy should have been given.

Now, faced with this situation, it’s hard to know what to do.

"Alright, Father, I understand."

"You..."

The Clan Leader was somewhat disappointed in this son.

His skills weren’t great, but his ambitions were vast, always clinging to the Clan Leader’s side to snatch the Clan Leader’s position.

However, he has so many sons, but there’s only one position to pass on to someone, which poses a dilemma.

This position, like the Emperor’s throne, is always uncertain whom to choose as Crown Prince to inherit the ancestral estate.

"Also, in the Capital, it is Xiao Chunyu, isn’t it? Send someone to find out the situation."

"Yes, Father."

In the Capital, Xiao Chunyu sneezed heavily.

"Miss, be careful not to catch a cold."

Molan quickly rushed to wrap her in a cloak.

The young lady’s constitution was too weak.

She had suffered severe injuries during childbirth, was abandoned by a heartless man afterward, though she survived by risking her life to file a petition to the court, yet her frailty was evident to the naked eye.

"It’s nothing, perhaps it’s Second Sister thinking of me," Chunyu smiled slightly: "Last time, Second Sister wrote saying the family was renovating the new mansion, I wonder if it’s finished?"

"Our letters take one or two months on the road to be delayed, and receiving replies takes another one or two months; they should have finished by now," Molan said: "Miss, don’t think about anything else; take good care of yourself, and when the little girl grows a bit more, we will go to Shu City to see them."

"Yes, I also look forward to that day arriving soon."

Chunyu couldn’t help but sneeze twice more, making Molan even more worried, hurriedly pulling her inside and making her drink warm tea.

"Miss, Second Miss knows how to make herbal pills. Perhaps we should tell her about your body’s current condition and let her make some pills for you," Molan suggested.

"No need, I understand my body; just taking good care is enough."

Xiao Chunyu did not want to reveal any of her unpleasant conditions to her family, as it would only increase their worries and troubles.

"I’m taking Doctor Chen’s medicine, and it’s showing some improvement."

"But now it’s already April, and your hands and feet are still cold," Molan stated: "When will this ever end?"

Both Jian Lan and my hands are warm and moist, but only the young lady’s hands are icy cold to the touch.

"Doctor Chen said I have a deficiency in blood and energy. More nourishment should suffice," Chunyu replied, "Do not, under any circumstances, inform Second Sister and the others about this. Especially my mother—who knows how worried she would get."

"Elder sister..."

Molan was about to speak when she heard Jian Lan calling them.

"Miss, an esteemed guest has paid a visit."

An esteemed guest?

Seeing Qiu Yan, Chunyu genuinely smiled.
