Before he could finish, Shen Yang interrupted, “I know that it’s such a surprise to you. I’ll give you some time to think over it. Two days. I’ll find you two days later.”

“Okay.” Mo Shang nodded.

Then he stood up, looked at Shen Yang, and said, “Dean Shen, I’ll be backing home if you don’t have other issues.”

“Good. I’ll go to find you two days later.” Shen Yang said, smiling.

Mo Shang nodded before going outside.

Seeing Mo Shang going outside, Shen Yang couldn’t help but smile. It never occurred to him that the apprentice of Uncle Liu could also be so capable.

If he could work in the imperial hospital, he might cure many difficult and complicated diseases like a living medical book there.

Thinking of this, there was a smile on Shen Yang’s face.

What a lovely child!

After calling the waiter to pay the bill, he walked out of the Guibin Hotel.

Returning to the hospital, Mo Shang saw that its door was closed, so he knew that his master had already gone.

He stepped ahead and opened the door.

There were some silver ingots on the table, under which pressed a letter.

Mo Shang immediately walked to the table, pushed the silver to the side, and got the letter.

It said:

“Mo Shang, I don’t know when to be back after I leave for Beiling. I’ve been tough with you all these years. I used to think you would hate me, but in fact, you bought a cotton coat for me. I really like it. And there’s one more thing I want to tell you. I’ve thought for so long before I make the decision. I can’t be selfish.”

“I found you when I passed Nanman Hill during my trip one day. You were so small at that time. Seeing nobody around, I took you in. There had been half a jade pendant in the blanket wrapping you. In my opinion, your family must have no choice but to abandon you in the past. Now that you’ve grown up, if you want to find them, I won’t stop you. I’ve already put the jade pendant under your pillow.”

“If you get a job in the imperial hospital, do remember to come back and clean up this shabby medical hall, which can be the place for me to stay when I’m back.”

After reading what Uncle Liu wrote, Mo Shang couldn’t help but frown. He immediately ran to his bed and took away the pillow.

As expected, there was half a jade pendant under it.

At this time, Mo Shang took it up with the greatest care and stared at it. Although he knew nothing about jade, it must a good one according to its fineness.

After seeing it, Mo Shang put it back under the pillow idly.

Since his families could make the heartless decision to abandon him in the past, what was the meaning for him to look for them now? Let fate decide everything.

Then Mo Shang walked to the table beside and took in the silver left by his master. He bent over the table, thinking over Dean Shen’s words to him in the Guibin Hotel.

He had been in this medical hall since his childhood. In fact, he had seldom left the house up to now. Although he was idle every time his master was away, he had everything taught by the master remembered in mind.

Now there was a chance right in front of him. He thought it was improper to stay in the secluded medical hall anymore. He wanted to use what he had learned to cure more people, but there was only one patient coming to the medical hall every several months or even half a year.

Having thought of it, Mo Shang nodded. The reason he agreed to work in the imperial hospital was not for his own reputation. He simply wanted more patients to be treated.

Just like what happened now. Even though he would like to go out and treat others’ diseases, he had trouble making a living for himself. Despite his own willingness to cure others, others might not trust his words when seeing him.

In spite of his little contact to the world outside, he knew the saying well: the words of the lowly carried little weight.

Therefore, he should take good advantage of this opportunity.

Mo Shang stood up to pack up whatever he needed daily. He would follow Shen Yang to the palace after two days.

After packing up, he looked at the jade pendant under the pillow. Hesitating, He put it into his cloth package. Anyway, it might be left by his father or mother. So it was the best to preserve it well.

At that moment, Yang Zijin and her fellows had already arrived at the northernmost region of Guofu Kingdom after hurrying on their way for a few days. They were about to reach Beiling.

The further they went to the north, the colder it was. They had bought clothing according to the weather, wearing thick coats.

The sun was about to set.

Pei Moning stopped his horse and said towards the carriage, “Sister, it’s getting dark now. I find that there is a town ahead. What about staying there for a rest?”

“Alright. It’s really freezing. We shall take a rest ahead and get ourselves warm.” Yang Zijin lifted the curtain of the carriage and said.

Pei Moning also looked at Jiang Wei, who was driving the carriage, and asked, “Miss Jiang, are you feeling cold? If you are, I’ve got a coat made of tiger fur that can block the coldness for you.”

“Mr. Pei, thank you for your kindness. I’m not cold,” Jiang Wei gave him a glance and continued to drive the carriage.

Seeing that Jiang Wei’s face was frozen to red, Pei Moning knew that Jiang Wei was lying.

He took out the coat made of tiger fur from the cloth package behind him and squeezed the horse’s belly, keeping ahead. When he was close to Jiang Wei, he threw the coat to her, “Don’t pretend to be all right this time. Hurry to put it on.”

While saying, Pei Moning patted the back of his horse to chase Runyu.

Jiang Wei shouted behind him, “Take it away.”

Without turning around, Pei Moning speeded up.

In the carriage, Yang Zijin couldn’t help but give a muffled smile. How straightforward her big brother was! Was there such a way to care for ladies?

After all, he was her elder brother. She had to help him this time.

Yang Zijin lifted the curtain of the carriage, seeing that Jiang Wei was grabbing the reins in one hand and the coat given by Pei Moning in the other hand.

Finding that Yang Zijin had lifted the curtain, Jiang Wei immediately said, “Your Highness, it’s cold outside. You should put down the curtain right now.”

While saying, Jiang Wei gave two slight coughs.

“There, there. You know how to care for me well, but you yourself are catching a cold. Hurry to put on the coat. There’s still a way to go. You cannot get sick.” Yang Zijin said hastily.

Jiang Wei nodded. She pulled the reins to stop the carriage by the road and wore the coat.

Seeing her wear the coat, Yang Zijin said with a smile, “That’s good. Now we shall go faster and have a good rest in the town ahead.”

Jiang Wei nodded and drove the carriage again.

Yang Zijin put down the curtain of her carriage.

Pulling the coat to herself, Jiang Wei showed a small smile on her lips. However, it disappeared the next second. Then she called while pulling the reins, “Ahead. Ahead.”

Before long, Jiang Wei stopped the carriage, leaned backward, and said to Yang Zijin in the carriage, “Your Highness, we’ve arrived at the hostel.”

While saying, Jiang Wei got down the carriage firstly.

“Okay.” Yang Zijin answered, walking out of the carriage.

Jiang Wei stretched out her hand to assist Yang Zijin to get down the carriage.

Pei Moning and Ghost Immortal had reached the town in advance and found the place to stay. Now the two were waiting for Yang Zijin and Jiang Wei at the entrance of the hostel.

Seeing them coming, Pei Moning stepped forward, “Hurry to get in. The room is ready for you.”

“Let’s go inside.” Yang Zijin nodded and said to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei looked at the carriage and said to Yang Zijin, “Miss, you go first. I’ll arrange the carriage.”

It was Yang Zijin that asked Jiang Wei to call her “Miss” so as to avoid the possible trouble caused by her identity as an infanta.

While saying, Jiang Wei took the reins.

To her surprise, as soon as she finished her words, Pei Moning hurried to go to the carriage and take the reins from her. He said with a smile, “Oh, what… I’ll be responsible for the carriage. Ladies are weaker, so you’d better go inside quickly.”

Yang Zijin had to bear her smile on one side.

It was acceptable to say other girls were weak. However, Jiang Wei practiced martial arts. It seemed that the elder brother had nothing else to say so he said that her body was weak.

Controlling herself, Yang Zijin turned around and said to Jiang Wei, “Let’s go. My brother will take care of it.”

Hearing that, Jiang Wei nodded. She glanced at Pei Moning, walked to Yang Zijin, and said, “Miss, let’s go inside.”

"Okay." Yang Zijin answered and winked at Pei Moning.

Pei Moning also stretched his fists to Yang Zijin.

After dinner, all the people were back to their rooms.

It was already winter. Not long after dinner, there were scattered snowflakes falling.

Hearing the sound of snow falling down outside, Yang Zijin got off the bed, walked to the window, and opened it.

Snow fell down slowly. The ground had begun to turn white.

Seeing the scene with snow, Yang Zijin couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. The bleak scene with snow was exactly like the portrayal of herself right now.

Shuo Ling knew that she had left Jing City for Beiling, but he didn't chase her. He used to promise that after his wedding with Infanta An Qin, he would go to Beiling with her. However, she was about to reach Beiling now without even seeing his shadow.

She had to admit that in the beginning, her heart was full of the hope that Shuo Ling would chase her so she tried to wait for him. However, the first day had passed. The second day had passed. The third day and the fourth day had passed. The man just never showed up.

Since then she no longer had any expectations. Shuo Ling was merely a hypocrite who had pretended to be virtuous with no interest in feminine charm. In her opinion, that was fake.

He might be lying in Infanta An Qin's arms now, enjoying himself.

Thinking of it, Yang Zijin couldn't help but sneer. Now she thought herself a joke. A modern person as she was, she was fooled by an ancient man with her emotions.

“Shuo Ling, now that you are merciless to me, you shouldn't blame me for being heartless!”

“When I returned from Beiling, I would definitely bring disputes to your home!”

While buried in her thoughts, Yang Zijin suddenly felt nauseous and retched at the window.

A few moments later, Yang Zijin retracted her head. She stroked her chest with her hands. Somehow, she had been feeling nauseous these days.
