The Little Steamed Bun Came to the Capital

"County Princess, is this really a medical hall?"

Qian Jiao looked at the empty place and the plaque above her that was on the verge of falling with a puzzled expression on her face.

Yu Yunxi looked at the three big words on the plaque: The Revival Hall. At this moment, she felt suffocated by the anger in her heart. Her mother had personally written these three words back then.

In the past, after saving the Great Ancestor's life, the reputation of Yu Yunxi's mother had spread far and wide. As such, the medical hall could not accommodate the number of patients that came every day. However, now it had fallen to such a state.

Before something happened to Yu Yunxi's mother, she had done her best to teach the apprentices in the medical hall. She even left them a huge sum of money. So how did it fall into such a state?

Yu Yunxi suppressed her emotions and quickly entered the hall. She discovered there were only two apprentices dozing off inside.

When the duo saw someone walking in, they only looked up patiently before they closed their eyes again.

"I'm feeling uncomfortable. Is there a doctor here?" Yu Yunxi asked, breaking the silence first.

One of the apprentices opened his eyes and asked disdainfully, "Do you have money?"

Yu Yunxi brought out two pieces of gold and silver jewelry and placed them on the table before she said, "If you cure me, these are all yours."

The two men's eyes lit up immediately.

One of them said flatteringly, "Alright, alright, we'll go and look for Doctor Wang now!"

Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze and thought to herself, 'Doctor Wang? Is he the Doctor Wang in my memory?'

Soon enough, a man dressed in a top with a mandarin collar came out. His footsteps were messy, his face was flushed red, and he reeked of alcohol; it was clear that he had drunk a lot.

"He's drunk. How can he treat a patient? Get me another doctor," Yu Yunxi said coldly.

Indeed, the person in front of Yu Yunxi was Wang Fu, the doctor from her memory. Back then, he was just an apprentice. He was begging on the streets in the cold, and her mother took him in and taught him medicine.

Yu Yunxi could not help but feel disappointed when she saw the state the other party was in.

"Miss, you might not know this but Doctor Wang is highly skilled. Have you heard about Madam Xu from the Yu family? She saved the Great Ancestor's life in the past, and Doctor Wang was her student."

"That's right, that's right. It doesn't matter if he's drunk. Even if he were to sit at the back of the room and listen to you, he can still figure out what's wrong with you."

The two apprentices spoke one after another with proud expressions on their faces.

"How amazing!" Yu Yunxi said mockingly with a laugh.

However, it seemed that the three people in front of her did not hear the sarcasm in her words.

Wang Fu squinted and looked at Yu Yunxi for a long time. After a while, he coughed lightly and said, "Miss, I see that you're quite weak. You'll need a thorough examination. Why don't you follow me? I'll give you a thorough check-up."

As Wang Fu spoke, he gulped and rubbed his hands together, looking like he could not wait to lay hands on Yu Yunxi. The word 'lust' was clearly stamped on his forehead.

Qian Jiao, who was watching from the side, could not suppress her murderous intention at all. She stepped forward and quickly kicked Wang Fu's chest.

Wang Fu flew back and crashed against the wall behind him. He bellowed in anger and pain, "Where did this arrogant woman come from? How dare you hurt me!"

Yu Yunxi walked over and looked down at Wang Fu before she said icily, "Take a good look. Who am I?"

At this time, Wang Fu seemed to have sobered up quite a bit. When he finally had a good look at Yu Yunxi's appearance, he trembled in fear as he stammered, "E-Eldest, Eldest Miss, y-you're still alive?"

"Of course, I'm alive. Otherwise, I would have turned into a vengeful ghost and haunted you earlier," Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly.

Wang Fu tried to be brave, but when he met Yu Yunxi's piercing and frosty gaze, he panicked again and said in a trembling voice, "Eldest, Eldest Miss, it's great that you're still alive!" Then, he asked tentatively, "You visited Revival Hall so suddenly. How can I help you?"

Yu Yunxi looked away and found a seat before she asked icily, "How did Revival Hall become like this?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Fu averted his gaze. After a while, he seemed to be choking on his tears as he said pitifully, "Eldest Miss, you might not know this, but after your mother passed away, the Madam of the Yu family coveted the medical hall. However, Doctor Yang and I continued to guard this place with our lives! Alas, five years ago, after the Wei family opened a medical hall, no patients were willing to come here. At that time, the madam also gave up on this place. Then, the medical hall gradually fell into such a state."

Yu Yunxi sneered. She asked tonelessly, "The Chen family and the Wei family's medical hall caused this place to become like this so you drank and disrespected the patients?"

Wang Fu's expression changed, and the corners of his lips twitched. He wanted to defend himself, but he did not know what to say.

Yu Yunxi smiled sarcastically. Her eyes glinted coldly as she said, "I still remember when Mother saved you back then. You were in pain, but you kept crying and kowtowing to my mother. You said that you'd become a benevolent doctor and that you wanted to save a lot of people. However, it seems like you've forgotten your words."

Yu Yunxi slowly rose to her feet and walked to the back of the hall. When she saw the empty shelves that were originally filled with medical records, she could no longer suppress her anger and killing intent. She demanded, "Where are the medical records my mother left behind? Where did they go?"

Wang Fu avoided Yu Yunxi's eyes. He hemmed and hawed for a long time but could not give Yu Yunxi an answer.

"Speak!" Yu Yunxi pulled out a knife and placed it against Wang Fu's neck.

If they had only ruined the medical hall, Yu Yunxi could still endure it. However, she could not tolerate them losing her mother's medical records.

Sensing Yu Yunxi's murderous aura, Wang Fu was so frightened that his body trembled violently. He hastily confessed, "Doctor Yang is obsessed with gambling and women over the past few years. He spends money like water. When he had no money in the past, he sold half of the medical records. The other half was taken away by your younger sister!"

'Yu Wanrong? Why did Yu Wanrong take Mother's books? There's also Yang Shi. Mother also saved him back then. How could he repay her like this?'

"Where's Yang Shi now?" Yu Yunxi asked. Her voice was bone-chilling.

"I, I don't know. However, he's been obsessed with the woman in the Drunken Harmony Parlor recently. The courtesans are performing tonight so he'll probably be there," Wang Fu said fearfully.

"Qian Jiao, throw them and their things out," Yu Yunxi said, withdrawing the knife, before she wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

"Eldest Miss, please give us a chance!" Wang Fu pleaded, truly frightened now. If he left this place, he would have nowhere to go.

Unfortunately, Qian Jiao did not give Wang Fu a chance to speak anymore. She beat him up and chased him away. If it were not for the fact that they were in the capital and that she was worried about causing trouble for Yu Yunxi, she would have killed these people.

Finally, Qian Jiao turned around and asked worriedly, "County Princess, are you okay?"

Yu Yunxi had calmed down a lot at this time. She said tonelessly, "The most important thing now is to find Mother's books. All of them contained her painstaking efforts. Get ready. We're going to the Drunken Harmony Parlor tonight."

"B-but, but from what that lecher said earlier, that place seems like a… a brothel…" Qian Jiao said solemnly.

"Find two sets of men's clothing."

"Yes, County Princess."

…

When night fell, some places in the capital were silent and some were bustling. The Drunken Harmony Parlor in the south of the capital was one of the bustling places.

The women standing at the entrance wore thick layers of powder and heavy rouge on their faces. They swayed their waists and walked around to greet the guests.

Not far away, a small and short figure wearing a brocade robe tilted his head and looked at the bustling scene. Under the moonlight, one could see his long and thick eyelashes that framed a pair of round and big eyes, which resembled Yu Yunxi's eyes. His face was slightly chubby and filled one with the urge to pinch it. Apart from that, his face mostly resembled that of Feng Yili greatly' it was just that he lacked Feng Yili's imposing and ruthless aura.

"Little Master, why did you invite the Prince Regent to the Drunken Harmony Parlor?" Qian Mei, who was dressed in men's clothing, asked with a frown. She looked at the gorgeously dressed young women in the distance with a complicated expression on her face.

Qian Mei had already committed a serious crime by allowing the child to sneak from Xinan to the capital, but now, she even accompanied him to such a place. If they were found out, it would not be enough even if she atone for her crimes with her life.

Yu Junjin said seriously, "I thought Drunken Harmony Parlor is a restaurant. Mother said that to negotiate with someone, we have to give the other party 30% respect. I was thinking of letting the old b*stard have a full meal before I kill him to avenge Mother!"

"Old, o-old b*stard?" Qian Mei almost choked on her saliva when she heard these words.

The little steamed bun said seriously, "Yes, that old b*stard! Those who disappoint my mother aren't good people! Feng Yili's not human! He's an old b*stard!"
