Divine Doctor and His Heroic Companion

Chapter 10

"Xiang Yin, why don't you take them with you? Just treat it as taking Miss Liu up to the mountains for a walk."

When Dong Mei saw the appearance of the pair of Mistress and maid pleading Xiang Yin, her heart soften and felt that Xiang Yin was very hard-hearted. She also helped to persuade Xiang Yin since Miss Liu was also the daughter of Magistrate Liu. Even if she did not give face to Miss Liu, she should at least, give face to Magistrate Liu.

"Dong Mei, even you also agree to this?"

Ruan Xiang Yin looked at Dong Mei with surprise. Her elegant face showed her struggling for a while. Her bright eyes swept across the three people and then she sighed helplessly.

"Alright then. But let me tell you first. If your body is unable to withstand the climb, both Mistress and maid will have to go downhill, do you understand?"

She was mad to agree! She knew that letting these two weak women follow her up the mountain would bound to complicate matters and hinder her from gathering herbs.

Ai....!

"Thank you, Miss Ruan!"

Both Mistress and maid were afraid she would take back her words and quickly thanked her.

Ruan Xiang Yin was compelled to sit in the carriage of the Mistress and maid to the foot of the mountain and then they started their climb. She was already mentally prepared that the two people would be a hindrance but when she saw the mountain path had become muddy after the heavy rain last night, she frowned.

After walking a short distance, Ruan Xiang Yin turned to look back and saw the two people climbing with difficulty and could not help but advised them.

"Miss Liu, because of last night's heavy rain, the mountain path had become muddy and is difficult to access. You should return now."

"Miss Ruan, I can still go on."

As soon as Liu Cai Lian finished speaking, she immediately slipped and fortunately, Ping Er was able to support her.

"In that case, do as you wish."

Ruan Xiang Yin's delicate face became gloomy and she really did not understand why this weak girl still insisted on coming. She would just simply let her be.

As soon as she turned around and walked away, Ping Er opened her mouth to persuade her Mistress.

"Young Miss, let's go back. You should not force yourself."

Even she as a maid who was used to hard work was panting heavily due to the climb, not to mention her weak Mistress. Her Mistress's face had become pale and it was not advisable for her to carry on and it was no wonder Miss Ruan was angry. The both of them, Mistress and maid did not know their own capabilities and had also brought trouble upon Miss Ruan.

"This......"

Liu Cai Lian clutched her chest and gasped for air. Breathing was almost impossible but her heart was not willing to accept. This is the first time, she was able to go up the mountain and did not expect after walking a short distance on the mountain path, her body was unable to withstand the stress. She once again resented her weak body. Her eyes full of envy watched Ruan Xiang Yin walking slowly into the distance and she had deliberately slowed down to accommodate them.

It looks like Dong Fang Tang and Ruan Xiang Yin were truly suitable for each other. Her eyes darkened and was about to tell Ruan Xiang Yin in the distance that she would be going back first when suddenly there was a rustling sound coming from the grass next to her. Immediately a green snake slid out of the grass. It lifted up its head with its forked tongue sticking out and stared at the two people.
