From his eyes, other than disdain, she could not discern a hint of fondness for her.

Her heart ached as if it were bleeding, looking at the people surrounding her who had come to get medicine or to see the doctor, all showing sympathy in their eyes.

Tao Meijiao’s pride was wounded, and with tears streaming down her face, she ran towards the street outside, only to see her biological father standing there with a furious expression.

She called out in surprise, “Dad!”
On the street, Master Tao slapped her hard across the face, “You’ve been coming to New Moon Medicine Hall every other day just to take abuse from a disabled person?

Get back home, and you’re not allowed to come here anymore!”
Tao Meijiao, having been slapped, cried even harder.

Turning to look back inside the pharmacy, she saw Xiao Qinghe taking a patient’s pulse as if nothing had happened, seemingly indifferent to her being slapped by her father.

Xiao Qinghe felt a twinge of pain in his heart when he heard Master Tao directly calling him disabled.

So be it, he was already a cripple who could not walk, wasn’t he?

Others were merely stating the facts.

When Xiao Yishan was not on duty, he often came to help out at the pharmacy.

He saw what had just happened and looked at the retreating figure of Tao Meijiao being dragged away by Master Tao, feeling a trace of pity, “Fourth Brother, isn’t your treatment of Miss Tao a bit too cruel?”
“It should have been like this from the start.” His handsome face showed little emotion.

“She’s just a girl after all.

If you do this and she takes it too hard…”
“If Second Brother can’t bear it, you go and comfort her.”
“I would like to,” Xiao Yishan said offhandedly, “but Tao Meijiao is in love with you, not me.

If she loved me, I would willingly visit her at the Tao Mansion.”
“Is that so.” Xiao Qinghe wrote a prescription with an indifferent expression on his face, then said, “Next.”
He continued to take another patient’s pulse.

Tao Meijiao often visited the Xiao Mansion and would also always come to the New Moon Medicine Hall.

Although Xiao Yishan didn’t have much interaction with her, he greatly appreciated her clear-cut nature of love and hate.

After witnessing what had just happened and thinking that his fourth brother was too harsh, he prepared a gift and went to the Tao Mansion.

Master Tao did not receive him but had a servant convey the message, “We do not want to see anyone from the Xiao Family again.

Tao Meijiao will also not go and bother Xiao Qinghe anymore.”
Tao Meijiao was confined to her room by Master Tao.

…

Drunken Immortal Pavilion began selling cakes in all its branches nationwide, and with new types of cakes and milk tea that suited almost everyone’s taste, for a time, the business of over a hundred branches boomed.

In just one month, Su Qingyue received a considerable amount of silver taels from her shares in Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Su Qingyue was still always researching medicine, and inside the Xiao Mansion’s Qin Garden, she set up a specialized pharmacy.

After assuring her father, Master Tao, that she would no longer seek out Xiao Qinghe, Tao Meijiao who had been confined for one month, was finally free to leave the Mansion.

She and Su Qingyue still got along well, staying at the Xiao Mansion for two days, and was directly arranged to stay in Elegant Garden.

However, Qingyue was very busy and left her after only a brief time together to attend to her own matters.

She learned that the New Moon Medicine Hall’s business had been good recently, with Xiao Qinghe often so busy that he worked quite late and frequently went out on medical calls.

As night fell, Tao Meijiao saw Xiao Qinghe returning and a trace of smile appeared on her face.

Xiao Qinghe, seeing her at the entrance to Yi Garden, furrowed his brows, “Miss Tao, why are you here?”
Tao Meijiao said, “I’m feeling a bit unwell and wanted to see Doctor Xiao for a consultation.”
“There are so many doctors, why do you need to seek me out?” he said with a cold face.
