Chapter 1045: Distorting the Truth
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wushuang's mind raced. He thought to himself, "Hmph, what should be done? Of course, it's best if he never wakes up." But in front of the butler, Xiao Wushuang couldn't say that. He just sighed deeply, his brow furrowed as if he were genuinely troubled.
"Ah, originally I could easily cure Young Master Muyun's illness, but who knew Xiao Yifei would interfere like this. It's making things difficult for me." As he spoke, Xiao Wushuang looked at Xiao Yifei, his eyes filled with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei sneered and said, "I had no need to interfere so forcefully, there's no benefit to me." However, Xiao Wushuang didn't see it that way, and retorted, "You're just eyeing Young Master Muyun's power. Once you cure him, he'll naturally be grateful to you. By then, wealth and status will come easily to you, won't they?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei glared fiercely at Xiao Wushuang, saying word by word, "Stop slandering me. I only know that a doctor's duty is to save lives, not for personal gain. I think you, are not worthy of the sacred title of a doctor."
With that, Xiao Yifei looked at Xiao Wushuang, shook his head helplessly, and then turned to leave the room.
Upon hearing Xiao Yifei's words, Xiao Wushuang felt a bit ashamed because the words had touched upon his own respect for his profession as a doctor. However, Xiao Wushuang could not care about that now. He only knew that if he were discovered, it would be a dead end for him. Thus, he would go all the way without hesitation.
"Hey, you stop right there!" The butler, seeing Xiao Yifei turning to leave, wanted to block him. However, Xiao Wushuang stopped the butler, leaving the butler a bit puzzled.
Xiao Wushuang slowly said, "Let him go. Anyway, I know where to find him. If anything happens to Young Master Muyun, it won't be too late to find him later."
Upon hearing Xiao Wushuang's words, the butler did not continue to block Xiao Yifei. "Divine Doctor Xiao, what should we do now?" The butler appeared anxious, clearly because of the unconscious Muyun. Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang thought for a moment and then slowly said, "First, spread the news about Young Master Muyun."
Hearing this, the butler was a bit shocked, not understanding why Xiao Wushuang wanted to do this. However, Xiao Wushuang knew very well that he was doing this to make Xiao Yifei's supposed harm to Muyun a fact!
As for the explanation to the butler, it was to recruit talented people to cure Muyun. Hearing Xiao Wushuang's explanation, the butler nodded repeatedly, suddenly enlightened as he left the room to make this matter public.
Seeing the butler urgently following his instructions, Xiao Wushuang secretly laughed to himself. In any case, once this matter was spread, it would no longer be his concern. However, just then, Muyun suddenly let out a groan.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Wushuang turned around in shock, staring at Muyun closely. Seeing Muyun still in a coma, not awake, Xiao Wushuang finally breathed out, feeling relieved. Xiao Wushuang initially thought it had nothing to do with him, but it seemed like a condition was still missing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang looked at Muyun viciously. The condition unrelated to him was that Muyun before him never wakes up. However, at this moment, Muyun showed no signs of waking, so Xiao Wushuang could rest at ease for now. But who knows, when might Muyun wake up?
Xiao Wushuang could not help but worry, wondering what could keep Muyun from ever waking up. As he thought, Xiao Wushuang's expression suddenly turned fierce. The ones who never wake up are the dead!
A murderous thought suddenly arose in Xiao Wushuang's mind, but it was immediately suppressed. If he killed Muyun now, even a fool would know it was his doing. This matter needed to be approached slowly.
Xiao Wushuang let out a cold laugh and slowly exited the room.
At this moment, Xiao Yifei was somewhat helpless. First, Xiao Wushuang falsely accused him of being a descendant of an attendant, and now, he accused him of recklessly treating Muyun. This Xiao Wushuang really brought Xiao Yifei into a palace intrigue drama, just like a harem empress. But most importantly, Xiao Yifei was the one being bullied.
"Brother Xiao Yifei, where did you go?" Liu Sisi asked curiously when she saw Xiao Yifei return. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei looked at Liu Sisi, then shook his head without telling her about the day's events. Although Xiao Yifei knew she would believe him, he still chose not to tell the innocent Liu Sisi.
Seeing Xiao Yifei somewhat unhappy, Liu Sisi was a bit puzzled. Normally, Xiao Yifei always had a smile, so why was he so different today? Xiao Yifei walked straight back to his room, and even when he ran into Hu Jingtang along the way, he greeted him.
"Grandfather, what happened to Xiao Yifei today?" Liu Sisi asked Hu Jingtang, who also looked puzzled. Hearing this, Hu Jingtang shook his head but then knocked on Liu Sisi's head, saying, "People have times when they're not in a good mood. Why are you so concerned?"
Hearing Hu Jingtang joking with her, Liu Sisi couldn't help but pout, "All you do is make fun of me." Liu Sisi muttered. Seeing Liu Sisi's expression, Hu Jingtang couldn't help but laugh.
The sky quickly darkened, and so the night passed. Early the next morning, Xiao Yifei was awakened by a sudden knocking on his door.
Opening the door, he saw Hu Jingtang standing anxiously outside. Xiao Yifei yawned and asked Hu Jingtang what was going on. Hearing this, Hu Jingtang said, "Remember Young Master Muyun, who Qianxi mentioned last time?"
At the mention of Muyun, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but chuckle coldly inside. Young Master Muyun, how could he not know him? Xiao Yifei nodded. Seeing this, Hu Jingtang continued, "That Young Master Muyun has passed out!"
After this, Hu Jingtang glanced at Xiao Yifei. However, upon hearing this news, Xiao Yifei didn't seem surprised at all.
"Aren't you surprised?" Hu Jingtang asked, looking at Xiao Yifei's calm demeanor. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook his head, indicating he wasn't surprised.
After a moment, Xiao Yifei let out a cold laugh, saying, "I bet they're saying it's my doing?"
"What?" Hearing this, Hu Jingtang exclaimed, "Did you do it?" Hu Jingtang couldn't believe his ears and asked uncertainly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't me, but someone is framing me." After speaking, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but recall Xiao Wushuang's ugly face, and he pursed his lips in disgust.
Hearing Xiao Yifei say this, Hu Jingtang couldn't help but be shocked and also very puzzled. Seeing the expression on Hu Jingtang's face, Xiao Yifei sighed and slowly said, "Let's go outside, and I'll explain."
Hu Jingtang nodded, and the two walked to the courtyard, sitting on the stone benches. "Tell me, what happened?" Hu Jingtang asked, looking at the frowning Xiao Yifei.
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei explained the whole story of how Xiao Wushuang framed him yesterday to Hu Jingtang. After hearing it, Hu Jingtang immediately slammed the table in anger, appearing very furious. "Damn it, how can there be such a person?" Naturally, Hu Jingtang was referring to Xiao Wushuang.
Seeing this, Xiao Yifei hurriedly asked Hu Jingtang to calm down. Seeing Hu Jingtang angrier than himself, Xiao Yifei felt quite touched.
