After talking for a while, they finally brought the conversation here. Huangfu Lingyao raised his gaze and glanced at the window mullions, sighing inwardly. ‘I’m making things too difficult for myself!’
Honestly, if it weren’t for the need to maintain a facade, he would have dealt with the other party directly. Why go through the trouble of persuading his wife to do this?
She should just pursue her own life goals well, leave the thorny matters to the men!
This time, Liu Shimei did not stay silent for long.
She had already pondered over these questions. “There are suspicions, but it depends on the circumstances.”

“Ah?” Huangfu Lingyao asked nonchalantly, “Aren’t they quite small?”
Liu Shimei explained, “Because they’re on the same street, even though they’re not large in scale, the opening of the Fusheng Pavilion directly affects them. They might just decide to shut down. So, they’re also suspicious.”
Hearing his beloved’s enlightened tone, she added, “6 medical halls, and let’s exclude the National Medical Hall.”
In her heart, her dear fool was still a treasure, so she explained even more clearly, “The National Medical Hall to the imperial physicians and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Hospital. Their status is unparalleled, and they wouldn’t deign to compete with our newly established private medical hall. The ultimate boss behind them is the Imperial Hospital, so there’s no need for us to compete with them.”
She mentioned ‘our medical hall’ several times, and Huangfu Lingyao’s heart could not help but flutter. ‘Yes, yes, yes, my wife’s clinic, saying it’s our clinic means she truly considers me part of her family!’
With this thought, his heart felt like it was bathed in honey, and he wished he could just hug her and give her a kiss!
Feeling sweet inside, he could not help but compliment his wife, “So, it’s down to 5, right? Wife, your process of elimination is amazing!”
Liu Shimei sighed and said, “The remaining 5 aren’t so easy to eliminate. My illness won’t be cured in a short time, so we’ll have to rely on Ninth Brother to help me with this.”
For matters like this, it’s best to rely on a wide network of contacts, and that’s where the Ninth Brother comes in handy!
Huangfu Lingyao blinked and asked, “Wife, why don’t you start by investigating your former employer?”
Liu Shimei hesitated for a moment and replied, “First, they don’t know that I am Shi Liu. Second, the Zheng Medicine Hall is already competing with the National Medical Hall. They probably won’t pay much attention to my newly opened small medical hall. So, I’m more inclined to look into those in the middle.”
Huangfu Lingyao: !!!
His mind was frantically refreshing: My wife, you’re wrong. It’s Du Gong, yes, it’s Du Gong, it’s that Du Gong from Zheng Medicinal Hall!
But how could he make her believe him? He was getting desperate!
After a moment of thought, he suggested, “Don’t you know anyone else from Zheng Medicinal Hall? You could ask someone to inquire.”
“That could work,” Liu Shimei responded this time. “Ninth Brother should notice that.”
They were going to investigate anyway!
Huangfu Lingyao sighed silently. Clearly, he had already found the answer, but he could not tell her. He could not take any credit and had to give it all to Ninth Young Master Liang!
Mu Jiangli was also brought here by me for you, my wife, even risking the risk of exposing your secret. But in my wife’s list of achievements, I don’t deserve a name!
Darn it, I don’t want to act stupid anymore!
“Alright, it’s late. Lingyao, are you tired? Let’s go to sleep,” Liu Shimei said after chatting for so long, feeling a bit sleepy.
Huangfu Lingyao obediently replied, “Oh, okay.”
But in reality, he did not want to sleep!
It’s not time for problem-solving, it’s…
In the long night, my wife is just a yard away, but I can’t break through this invisible barrier!
So frustrating!
