Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2144 Getting Medicine

Wan Shufang touched her head, her face full of relief: "Go quickly, don't waste time, I will go to the old house to find you after I'm done with my work and treat the county magistrate."

"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Shangguan Chu bowed and left. She went back home first, changed into comfortable clothes, and then went out to get the medicine.

Nowadays, except in the academy, Shangguan Chu is used to wearing women's clothes.

At this moment, she had just received the tonic when she was seen by Liu Mochen. She met "Shangguan Qing" again. Liu Mochen's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to stop her: "Miss Shangguan, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Seeing Liu Mochen, Shangguan Chu could only sigh inwardly that he was unlucky, but his face did not show it, and he remained cold and said, "Mr. Liu, what can I do for you?"

"Miss Shangguan, this is the second time we meet. It is truly fate. How about we have a cup of tea together?" Liu Mochen invited with a flattering face. Just one sentence made Shangguan Chu's face darken.

Glancing at him coldly, she said calmly, "Liu Mochen, we are not that familiar with each other yet, are you so shameless?"

Hearing Shangguan Chu scolding him, Liu Mochen was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "This is fate, Miss Shangguan. Your brother and I are classmates. It's not too much for me to be friends with you."

"Heh." Shangguan Chu sneered. If he hadn't been bullied by Liu Mochen before, he would have been deceived by his appearance.

She pushed Liu Mochen away and said in a cold voice: "I don't have time to drink tea. My father is still waiting for medicine to save his life. Mr. Liu, goodbye."

As she spoke, Shangguan Chu shook the herbs in her hand, turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Mochen followed her closely, pestering her for an invitation next time.

Shangguan Chu rejected several invitations and made excuses every time. Liu Mochen became more and more persistent, and only stopped when Shangguan Chu got angry.

Looking at Shangguan Chu's leaving back, Liu Mochen gritted his teeth and ordered behind him: "Follow her, and tell me in time if there is any situation."

"Yes, young master." The servant followed Shangguan Chu all the way home. Until the two figures disappeared from his sight, Liu Mochen still felt unwilling and followed them.

At the same time, Xiao Jingheng happened to pass by and saw Liu Mochen harassing a woman and even following her. He hurriedly chased after her. When he was almost at the old house, Shangguan Chu discovered the person who was following him.

"Liu Mochen, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Her voice was cold and she looked at Liu Mochen fiercely. In the corner, Liu Mochen smiled awkwardly and appeared in front of her obediently.

"Ms. Shangguan, I am not..."

"Liu Mochen!"

Before Liu Mochen could finish his words, he was interrupted by a male voice. Shangguan Chu was slightly stunned when he heard the familiar voice, then he quickly lowered his head and hurried away.

At this moment, Xiao Jingheng also came over and blocked Liu Mochen's way: "Liu Mochen, why are you following a little girl?"

Xiao Jingheng questioned coldly, raised his head and looked over there. Looking at Shangguan Chu's departing back, he looked puzzled, and felt that this woman looked very much like someone.

But he couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so he could only look away and focus his attention on Liu Mochen: "Reading the books of sages and doing gentlemanly things, you are like this..."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Jingheng, stop meddling in other people's business. Otherwise, don't blame the Liu family for being rude to the Xiao family." Liu Mochen interrupted him impatiently, and when he saw that he could no longer catch up with Shangguan Chu, he turned and left.

Everyone had left, and Xiao Jingheng had no reason to stay. Although he was very angry at Liu Mochen's attitude, he still did not lose his temper.

In the alley, Shangguan Chu heard the quarrel over there stop, his heart beating like a drum and his ears turning red.

"Why is it that every time, he always comes to rescue me?" Shangguan Chu murmured, and he couldn't help but clench the medicine bag. At a certain moment, his heart was ready to move.

But thinking of Wan Shufang's words, she quickly shook her head and threw away her complicated thoughts: "I have to send the medicine back quickly and go to collect the herbal medicine."

With thoughts swirling in her mind, Shangguan Chu quickened her pace, returned home, put down the medicine and went out again. The medicine she went to get this time was the tonic that the county magistrate usually drank.

The medicinal ingredients need to be picked from the cliffs in the deep mountains.

Shangguan Chu recalled Wan Shufang's words and followed the route all the way to the deep mountains and dense forests.

"Madam said that the medicine is on the cliff and must be retrieved within three days. For my father, I must get the medicine back as soon as possible." Shangguan Chu's eyes flashed with determination and his pace quickened.

There were many mosquitoes in the forest, and soon her delicate skin was bitten and became red and swollen. Shangguan Chu scratched herself while climbing the mountain with difficulty.

Every time I wanted to give up, I remembered Wan Shufang's words: "After three days, the medicine will lose its effect."

She climbed harder, sweating profusely. At the same time, Wan Shufang also encountered big trouble in the academy. Looking at Master Qin standing in front of her, Wan Shufang looked unhappy: "Master Qin, what's the matter?"

"If you have nothing else to do, I'm going to teach my students."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Shufang wanted to walk around him and leave. She really couldn't like this Master Qin, and she couldn't show him courtesy.

Master Qin is a new teacher who has just come to the academy three days ago. However, during these three days, he always bullies Wan Shufang for no reason, thinking that she, as a woman, is not fit to teach.

"Master Wan is quite anxious. I wonder what kind of people like you will teach your students to be!" Master Qin said with sarcasm and indignation, "They are all children of aristocratic families. They really shouldn't be ruined by you."

"Master Qin!"

Wan Shufang shouted coldly. She had previously respected the other party as a teacher and had been courteous to him, but that did not mean that he could bully her again and again.

"As a teacher, you judge people by their appearance. You really haven't read enough books of sages. Please apologize to me." She retorted bluntly, instantly angering Master Qin.

"How dare you, a woman, challenge me? You are not worthy of being a teacher in the academy."

"If you want to convince me, then you can compete with me. If you have real skills, I will be ashamed of myself and apologize."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang frowned and didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she thought about Master Qin's several provocations, she simply agreed.

The two went directly to the dean.

Soon, a competition between masters began. In order to shut Master Qin up, Wan Shufang did not choose medical skills, but chose the Feihua Ling that Master Qin was good at.

After several rounds of poetry competition, Master Qin was completely suppressed by her, and his eyes were red.

"How is it possible? How can you be so talented?"

"You are too superficial." Wan Shufang looked at him mercilessly and said coldly: "Now, apologize."

She won a great victory in this battle. Even though Mr. Qin was unwilling, he had no choice but to apologize to Wan Shufang in front of everyone's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Master Wan, I misunderstood you because of my appearance." His face turned red, and he almost broke his teeth after he finished apologizing.
