Poison Genius Consort

“Is Madam worried about father-in-law?” Gu Beiyue asked.

Qin Min honestly shook her head, causing Gu Beiyue’s lips to curve up.
Vice-Head Shen was left even more lost.
Wasn’t the eldest daughter going to protect her own father?

“Then fine.
I’ll teach you have to save that patient and you cure him,” Gu Beiyue finally voiced his thoughts.

Vice-Head Shen was stunned.
He had to wonder how good Eldest Miss Qin’s foundation was to learn such a treatment.
Although it was the academy head’s personal instruction, this was no simple case.
He was aware of the woman’s personal set of acupuncture skills and knew her actual ability was above her ranking, but he didn’t think her medical skills were particularly high.

Does Eldest Miss Qin have some skills that nobody else knows?

Qin Min was surprised as well, though her doubts laid in why Gu Beiyue had taken so long to voice his decision.
What made him hesitate? Didn’t he trust her? Was he afraid that she’d favor the Qin Clan instead? She looked at him and said lightly, “All right.”

Qin Min waited for Gu Beiyue to continue, but he only replied, “Madam, it’s getting late.
You should go rest first.”

Qin Min’s eyes widened with even more surprise.
Is this guy chasing me off?

After she discovered the poison in her legs, after he had her leave Medical City for Yunning, he had told her many things about Medical City.
He said that he’d find a chance to carry out reforms with Great Qin’s doctors on Medicine City’s side.
He said he hoped she could join him and promised to find the person who poisoned her in the first place.
He promised her the right to participate, but now…

Why did he trust her at the start, but doubt her now? Besides the fake pregnancy, she hadn’t failed him in the past two to three years.
But Qin Min had a spine; since Gu Beiyue chased her off, she left.
Back at the rooms, her emotions surged but there was no place to vent her temper, leaving her organs all hurting.
In the end, she released her rage onto a pillow by punching it repeatedly.

“Gu Beiyue, don’t you know what kind of person I am? Is it fun to suddenly be so defensive?”

Qin Min was startled by her outburst.
After a while, she wondered, “Gu Beiyue, how would you know what kind of person I am? How could you have any idea…”

The night passed just like that.
Qin Min didn’t ask about the Qin Clan again and the next afternoon, Gu Beiyue called her to the study to personally instruct her in the treatment method.
Qin Min listened to him without a word the entire time.
Her silence spurred Gu Beiyue to speak more, asking her if she understood and if there were any questions.
Qin Min kept shaking her head until Gu Beiyue finished teaching, then voiced her own understanding of medical principles on the basis of Gu Beiyue’s instructions to simulate an acupuncture method.
Gu Beiyue was aware of Qin Min’s strength, but was still stunned by her high level of comprehension and enlightenment.
In the end, he couldn’t help remarking, “Eldest Miss Qin, it really is a pity for you.”

Pity how?

Pity that such high talent wasn’t cultivated or made famous at a young age in Medical City before spreading across the world? Or pity that I was married to you?

Qin Min shook her head subconsciously and refused to think more.
She hated considering gain or loss and doubting herself because of it.
If you didn’t want anything, you had no worries, right?

Qin Min neither asked nor thought about it deeply, but silently vowed to go back to Yunzhou once matters were finished in Medical City.
She would spend her own days taking care of little Shadow and teaching him well.

Gu Beiyue, I like you.

But that doesn’t mean I have to have you!

She smiled at him and said, “It’s not a pity, I’m living a carefree life.
Not like you lot, always shouldering your fate and always…holding a bellyful of words you can’t say.”

Qin Min stylishly turned and left, leaving Gu Beiyue a silhouette.
He was taken aback and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
He seemed to have returned to that night in Yunning, when the woman also turned away dashingly, her footsteps sprightly and light.
He pretended to consider the issue yesterday before asking her to leave just so she could kill her feelings.
He’d rather be a villain and make her resent him then leave her missing him moment after moment.
Although he’d seen the hurt in her eyes last night, she was already smiling at him the next day and saying these words?

Qin Min, just what kind of person are you?

This was the first time Gu Beiyue had considered such a question, but he didn’t think any deeper.

That afternoon, a group of young doctors from Medical City gathered together at the Qin Clan’s gates to protest and demonstrate.
They denounced the Qin Clan head and demanded he rescue the patient or leave Medical City forever.
Gu Beiyue and Vice-Head Shen were currently talking about letting Qin Min treat the patient when this broke out.
He had her leave for the Qin Clan to replace her father and save the patient, thus placating public indignation.
Qin Min didn’t know why Gu Beiyue wanted to do this or what his next step in the place could be.
She just did as she was told.

Shaoyao showed up less than an hour later.
Qin Min didn’t bother waiting for the guards, but had Shaoyao push her to the Qin Estate directly…
