Days as a Wet Nurse in the Jiang Mansion

Chapter 226

Fifth Young Master held the torch, watching Li An work, and could not help but feel a little nauseous."If you are going to throw up, get out." He did not want his dissection subject to get dirty.

"I am not," Fifth Young Master retorted eagerly. How could he throw up? He had seen all kinds of grand scenes. However, what Li An was doing really did scare him a bit.

"An'an, did you learn all this from Imperial Physician Gu?"

"No."

"Who taught you to do this?" Once he found that person, he would definitely tear them into pieces.

"Does this even need to be taught?" Li An glanced at Fifth Young Master. It was something one could learn just by looking; it did not require teaching.

Fifth Young Master froze for a moment, but quickly recovered and praised him.

"An'an is so smart to think of such a good medical learning technique."

What he really wanted to say was that he was a pervert, right?

"How could I think of you like that? An'an, you misunderstand me," Fifth Young Master retorted, refusing to admit that he actually did have a little bit of that thought in his heart.

"You can think whatever you want." Fifth Young Master was not someone Li An cared about, so it did not matter what he thought.

"Does An'an not have any thoughts about me at all?" Fifth Young Master was very disappointed.

"I would really like to take a look at your heart." Li An smiled, his bloodstained hand holding a knife that was different from ordinary blades.

Fifth Young Master suddenly shuddered.

"Do not smile." Li An's smile made Fifth Young Master feel a chill in his heart.

"How should I smile?"

"I, I, I," Fifth Young Master did not know what to say. "The people in the valley have all been caught. Do not worry, not a single one escaped."

"Did you catch the person who shot the arrows too?"

Fifth Young Master looked at the arrows around them. These were not Li An's doing.

Fifth Young Master's expression changed; there was still a killer hidden in the depths.

"Kongqing."

Kongqing, who had been guarding outside, came in and took the torch to provide light.

Fifth Young Master went out to investigate the archer.

Kongqing had already heard a lot from outside, but seeing what Li An was actually doing still shocked him a bit.

In Kongqing's mind, Li An was a gentle and refined doctor.

"If you cannot accept this, you can leave." For the sake of their master-servant relationship, Li An would not hold it against him.

"Second Master, you are my master, and that will never change." Kongqing felt he needed a day to digest the changes in Li An.

"You are stronger than your master."

Hearing this, Kongqing smiled.

"Thank you for the praise, Second Master."

"Come a little closer, I cannot see clearly."

"Yes." Kongqing brought the torch closer so Li An could better examine the distribution of blood vessels in the body.

After Li An had thoroughly examined the human organs, he let Zhao Hong take her last breath.

Kongqing brought water, and Li An washed his hands. He took the pen and ink to record everything he had observed.

After recording it, he walked out of the cave.

Right in front of the cave entrance, Fifth Young Master was reprimanding his men.

Li An looked elsewhere and saw Hua Ling being kept under guard.

Hua Ling also saw Li An and called out in joy.

"Doctor Li."

Li An walked over, and Hua Ling stood up.

The soldiers reached out to block Hua Ling's path.

Hua Ling needed to stay within the guarded area.

Unable to go out, Hua Ling looked at Li An in confusion, "Why is Doctor Li here?"

"I am not too sure either. I wanted to go find you. Halfway there, my eyes went black," Li An said, spreading his hands, "and then I ended up here. How did you get here, Miss Hua Ling?"

"I implicated you." Hua Ling blamed herself.

"This has nothing to do with you. I am perfectly fine now." Li An comforted Hua Ling.

"Doctor Li, you are such a good person." Hua Ling was very moved.

"An'an has finished his examination." Fifth Young Master walked over.

"Miss Hua Ling is my friend, can you let her go?" Li An asked Fifth Young Master.

Fifth Young Master did not want to let her go, but he wanted even less for Li An to be angry.

He waved his hand.

The soldiers withdrew their hands.

Hua Ling stepped out of the encirclement and wanted to approach Li An.

Fifth Young Master blocked her.

"There is no need for thanks. Men, escort Miss Hua Ling out."

Reluctant to leave, Hua Ling thanked Li An and followed the soldiers out of the valley.

Li An smiled as he saw Hua Ling off, watching until her figure disappeared.

"She is far away now, you cannot see her anymore," Fifth Young Master said, full of jealousy.

"Where has Hua Ling been staying this whole time?"

"The raw materials room." Fifth Young Master had had Hua Ling interrogated; she had entered the valley and accidentally stumbled into the raw materials room.

"Take me to see it."

"You do not believe me?"

"You are very busy, you can just find anyone to take me." Li An did not answer Fifth Young Master's question, insisting on going to the raw materials room.

"To accompany An'an, I am always free." Fifth Young Master smiled and led Li An to the raw materials room.

Li An walked a circle around the raw materials room and asked Fifth Young Master, "Are you sure Hua Ling was in the raw materials room the entire time?"

"Is there something wrong with Hua Ling?"

"I smelled Youning incense on her."

"What is Youning incense?"

"A poison I refined. Anyone who enters the cave will be tainted with the Youning incense," Li An explained.

Fifth Young Master raised his sleeve and sniffed, but smelled nothing.

"Ordinary people cannot smell Youning incense." As for how he could smell it, Li An did not say.

"When did Hua Ling enter the cave?" Fifth Young Master pondered, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. "She is the archer. She killed her own biological mother?"

Fifth Young Master could not believe it; truly, you cannot judge a book by its cover.

Hua Ling looked innocent and kind, but she was ruthless.

If what Hua Ling had said before was true, Li An was not surprised that she killed Zhao Hong.

But why would Hua Ling kill Xiaoman?

Dongzhi had not told the truth; he was still hiding something.

Li An left; he needed to interrogate Dongzhi again.

Fifth Young Master stayed in the valley. Yingmeng was too dangerous; he had to keep an eye on the soldiers and ensure all the Yingmeng was destroyed.

Li An took Kongqing back to the fabric shop, only to see a heavily injured Lingyu and a dead Dongzhi.

Li An applied acupuncture to save Lingyu.

Lingyu woke up, "Second Master."

"Who hurt you?"

"I do not know."

Lingyu only remembered bringing medicine for Dongzhi to drink.

Walking into the room, he saw a dagger plunged into Dongzhi's chest, his eyes wide open, dying with a remaining grievance.

When Lingyu approached to check, he was ambushed from behind and knocked unconscious.

"Second Master, this subordinate is useless. Please punish me."

"If Dongzhi is dead, then he is dead. There is no need to blame yourself."

"But,"

"Your life is more important than his." Li An instructed Kongqing to watch over Lingyu.

Returning to his room, Li An took out the drawing of the valley he had made earlier based on Dongzhi's description.

He picked up his brush to add what he had seen today.

Once the valley was drawn, Li An looked at it.

It was not until dark that Fifth Young Master returned, interrupting Li An, who was deep in thought over the painting.

"An'an, I have already led men to raid and confiscate the Huacao Hall."
