Free Web NovelChapter 234: Chapter 234: That Miao Something-Ping
"..."
Shen Nian remembered that while her grandparents had always been good to the children in her family, Miao Suiping had probably been the most doted-on of all.
After all, Miao Suiping had always lived in Miao Village, growing up by her grandparents’ side. Plus, Miao Suiping had a knack for flattery.
However, no one was to blame for the current change in attitude but Miao Suiping herself.
’Miao Suiping might just be the textbook example of someone engineering their own downfall!’
The people who once doted on her now viewed her with considerable disapproval.
But as far as Shen Nian was concerned, the matter with Miao Suiping was more or less over.
’She believed that after today’s events, Miao Suiping wouldn’t dare to cause trouble so easily again!’
"Uncle, how’s your leg feeling?"
When Miao Suiping had arrived, Shen Nian had already finished a stage of Miao Changquan’s treatment, so it hadn’t been affected. It was just that the subsequent observation wasn’t complete yet.
Now that Miao Suiping was gone, everyone’s attention naturally shifted back to Miao Changquan.
Reminded by Shen Nian’s words, the people around them immediately turned to look at Miao Changquan.
"Xiao Nian, I feel great right now. This leg hasn’t felt this comfortable in a long time. I even feel like I could just stand up and walk a few laps!"
"Uncle, that’s a good sign. But you still need to rest quietly for the next half-month. You can only start walking around after that. If you want your leg to heal faster, Uncle, you have to hold back!"
"Okay. To get better sooner, I’ll definitely hold back."
"I’ll write a prescription in a bit. For the next half-month, you’ll need to take it orally and apply it topically. You can’t stop halfway through."
"Okay, I’ll listen to you completely. Xiao Nian, I’ll do whatever you say!"
"Okay."
Shen Nian nodded in satisfaction. ’As a doctor, the most gratifying thing is to have a patient who cooperates unconditionally. Dealing with an uncooperative patient is the absolute worst!’
Fortunately, her first two patients had both been the exceptionally good kind.

Since she wanted her grandfather and uncle to have the best medicine, Shen Nian decided to take on the task of buying it from the Chinese pharmacy herself.
’She had a plan. For any medicine she had in her space, she would use that. For anything she didn’t have, she’d buy a substitute from outside.’
Besides, she could also make a trip to the pharmacy to buy some common but frequently used medicinal herbs to plant.
’In any case, there was still plenty of empty land in her space. If she planted more medicinal herbs, they might come in handy later.’
When Shen Nian was about to head out, Lu Cheng naturally followed her the entire way.
However, from the moment they left the Miao family’s home, Shen Nian sensed that something was a little off with Lu Cheng. It was as if he wanted to say something to her but didn’t know how to begin.
"What’s wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Shen Nian stopped and looked at Lu Cheng. ’If she didn’t get to the bottom of this, Lu Cheng would probably be on edge for the entire trip!’
"Xiao Nian, there’s nothing going on between me and her. Don’t misunderstand. And please, don’t take anything she said to heart."
Lu Cheng had been holding these words in for a long time, looking for a chance to tell Shen Nian. Now that she had asked, he finally let it all out in a rush.
Of course, he wasn’t hung up on Miao Suiping. He just didn’t want Shen Nian to overthink things or be affected by what Miao Suiping had said.
Most of all, he didn’t want Shen Nian to think that anything had ever happened between him and that woman!
"Huh? Who’s ’her’?"
"..."
Lu Cheng felt Shen Nian’s question like a direct blow to the chest. He suddenly understood the look on Shen Xiangnan’s face during their last conversation after hearing what he’d said.
"That... Miao something-Ping."
