CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 165 THE FOOL’S DAUGHTER

Under the window, Xin Lin’s body shuddered; the food seemed to have been poured onto her.

Silly Chu still did not move, his handsome face covered in soup.

"Bullying...don’t...bully"

Chu Yuan stuttered.

"Oh, my lord, have you grown a brain after going out this time? Do you know that your subordinates are bullying you?"

Chu Yuan laughed loudly, slapping Chu Beiqing’s face hard with his palm.

Chu Beiqing’s face immediately bore several finger marks.

"So what if I am bullying you? Do you think anyone in this mansion would still help you? Do you think you’re still the high and mighty Grand Doctor Chu, the Medical Saint? I just can’t stand people like you, born with so-called talent and intelligence but merely because of the good family you were born into. Now, you are less than a phoenix that has fallen to the ground."

Chu Yuan’s eyes shone as he wantonly humiliated Chu Beiqing.

He is a servant of the Imperial Doctor Mansion, born a rung lower than others, always looking to the masters for direction.

Chu Beiqing, born a distinguished official’s child with good looks – all the good things in this world seemed to have been his.

But what use is Chu Beiqing’s prowess now? He has become a fool, at the mercy of his tormentor.

"Bullying...don’t let..."

Chu Beiqing muttered quietly, seemingly unaware of his surroundings.

"So what about bullying? Even your father is only concerned about his seclusion, too lazy to care about you."

Chu Yuan grabbed Chu Beiqing and threw him to the ground, pressing his head down.

"Lower than a dog, you will do what I say; lick the food off the floor for me!"

Chu Yuan’s expression was fierce as he firmly pressed down on Chu Beiqing.

"Chu Yuan! How dare you!"

Suddenly, with a bang, the door was kicked open.

Chu Yuan, startled, looked up.

A little girl stood outside the door.

The girl wasn’t tall, delicate and exquisite, with large round eyes and casually tied twin buns.

At first glance, Chu Yuan found her somewhat familiar.

"Daughter, daughter...hold..."

Chu Beiqing looked up, saw Xin Lin, and his blank expression changed to a childlike smile.

"Daughter?"

Chu Yuan was shocked again, looking at Xin Lin, finding her more and more familiar.

"Aren’t you the little beggar from outside the Alchemy Hall, the illegitimate child of Vice Minister Huang! No wait, are you a boy or a girl? His daughter?"

Chu Yuan remembered what Chu Tianyi had said before.

"Impossible, how could Chu Beiqing have a daughter, where did this little bastard come from to sneak into the Imperial Doctor Mansion!"

Chu Yuan raged.

He was actually being played by a little beggar.

"I am Chu Beiqing’s daughter, authentic and guaranteed. Chu Yuan, you bully my father and steal medicine from the Imperial Doctor Mansion, aren’t you afraid I will report you to Old Master Chu!"

Xin Lin had already inquired about it; the head of the Imperial Doctor Mansion was indeed Old Master Chu.

He had injured his meridians during martial practice years ago and had been in seclusion for nearly five years.

No wonder, during this time, Chu Tianyi and his servant were wreaking havoc in the mansion.

However, the Old Master was about to come out of seclusion soon.

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Beiqing, then at Xin Lin. They didn’t look very similar, but their manner of speaking... This little girl wore an effortless authority, just like Chu Beiqing in his normal days!

Could it be, she really was Chu Beiqing’s illegitimate child?

Chu Yuan’s expression kept changing, but soon, he burst into loud laughter.

"Report to the Old Master, keep dreaming about your spring and autumn dreams; do you think you can leave this courtyard alive tonight?"
