Chapter 255: Administering the Medicine
Chapter 255: Administering the Medicine After giving her instructions, Shu Yu left while holding the medicine bottle given by Zhao Xi. Instead of going back home, she changed her direction and walked out of Liufang Lane. Yesterday afternoon, she accompanied her grandmother to collect scraps of cloth around the county, so she had naturally learned some information. For example, it was quickly discovered that Jiang Li, who had been injured, was brought back to the Jiang residence. Since the incident occurred outside, it had already become a hot topic of discussion. Furthermore, the Jiang family had reported the incident to the authorities and was currently conducting an intensive search for the culprit. They even stated the amount of reward for providing information about the perpetrator. To be honest, when Shu Yu heard about the reward, she was tempted and almost turned herself in. Another piece of information she learned was that the doctor who treated Jiang Li was none other than the physician from the medical clinic where she took Little Ya for treatment. That medical clinic was the best and most expensive one in the entire county. Yesterday, the doctor made a house call to treat Jiang Li, so he would naturally go for a follow-up visit today. Shu Yu went to find him. The door of the medical clinic was already open, and many patients had come early in the morning. Shu Yu wasn't there for a medical consultation; she used the excuse of picking up medicine. She took out the prescription given by the physician named Hu, who had treated Little Ya, so the medicine boy quickly led her inside. There were more people picking up medicine than those seeking treatment, but it was still slightly less crowded. While waiting, Shu Yu started to look for the physician who treated Jiang Li, and she also waited for the right moment to take action. Leaning against the counter, Shu Yu didn't have to wait long before she heard someone calling for the physician. The physician hurriedly came out, instructing the medicine boy, "Are the medicines I requested ready? Hurry up, I still need to go to the Jiang residence." The medicine boy behind the counter answered in a hurry, "Almost done, almost done." Shu Yu chuckled to herself. The opportunity had come. She moved closer, taking advantage of the medicine boy's momentary absence as he went to get a rope. With a swift motion, she discreetly sprinkled the powdered medicine onto the herbs, using her sleeve as a cover. She then saw the medicine boy hastily wrap up the herbs and tie them with a rope before handing them to the physician. The physician placed the package into his medical case, slung it over his shoulder, exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper, and left. Shu Yu also picked up the medicine she had requested and followed him. The physician went directly towards the Jiang residence. Shu Yu confirmed that the medicine was indeed for Jiang Li, and she felt slightly relieved. She didn't go back home but instead found a breakfast stall nearby and ordered a bowl of wonton soup. It just so happened that she left home early in the morning, and the meal wasn't ready yet. After being busy for a while, she was quite hungry. As Shu Yu ate her wonton soup, she eavesdropped on the conversations of the people around her. The incident of Jiang Li being beaten had caused quite a stir, and almost everyone in the vicinity knew about it. After all, the Third Young Master of the Jiang family had been lawless for many years. Anyone who criticized him would suffer. Now someone had directly smashed his head, leaving a bloody hole not even 300 meters away from the Jiang residence. This person truly... had guts. Not only did he rid the people of a menace, but the problem was that the Jiang family still didn't know who the culprit was. As Shu Yu enjoyed her wonton soup, she basked in the praises from the crowd. Third Young Master Jiang had truly committed numerous evil deeds over the years. Just look at this divine retribution—most people were relishing in his misfortune. After finishing her bowl of wonton soup and sitting for a while, Shu Yu spotted Meng Yunzheng walking over from a distance. He wasn't carrying anything and looked quite refreshed. She wondered where he had put the bamboo stick and the note she gave him. Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
