Chapter 240: 232 Ancient Medicine Families! Emperor Ying Fights Against Fakes [2 updates]
When he looked over, he saw two strangers.
A man and a woman, dressed in luxurious and noble attire, with an outstanding temperament.
Ying Tianlv’s gaze fixed slightly, and he lifted his chin, “Them?”
He noticed that this was the first time Mu Chenzhou, with the aid of the Ying Family, had stepped forward to greet them.
His reluctance to go home was also because of this.
“The Meng Family of the Imperial Capital, you’ve heard of them, right?” Jiang Heng sighed softly, “These two are from the Meng Family of the Imperial Capital. I just saw their photos at Young Master Mu’s place.
“This family is not as famous as the Mu family and the Nie Family since they are from the Ancient Medicine Families and do not engage in business or politics.”
Ying Tianlv pondered for a moment, “I have heard of them.”
He seemed to have also heard Zhong Manhua mention them, thinking about whether he could borrow the relations with the Mu family to invite the Meng family’s traditional doctors to treat Old Madam Ying.
“Young Master Mu said that the Meng family decided to come at the last minute,” Jiang Heng also lit a cigarette, “I guess there is some auction item that caught their attention.”
Ying Tianlv was indifferent to this, his eyes clear as he thought about things.
He wanted to prove Ying Zijin’s identity, not to tie her to the Ying Family.
With Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting being so cold-hearted and ruthless, Ying Zijin had finally left, and he had no intention of letting her come back.
It was to let the wealthy elite of Shanghai City know that she was not some lowly foster daughter, but a true daughter of wealth and nobility.
The scorn and disdain that had been cast on her were undeserved.
Ying Tianlv tapped off the ash from his cigarette, dispassionately, “Let’s go sit over there.”
**
Ying Yuexuan also knew quite a few daughters of wealth and nobility.
After coming out of the restroom, she was pulled aside by one of these socialites.
“Xiao Xuan, what was going on with Tianlv just now?”
Hearing this, Ying Yuexuan’s fingers stiffened slightly.
She pursed her lips, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
But in the end, her emotions prevailed.
Ying Yuexuan said in a soft voice, “Don’t you know too? My aunt had someone drive a car into my sister, nearly costing her her life. My brother is so upright; of course, he has to take extra care of her.”
“That may be true, but he should still consider your feelings, right?” the socialite shook her head, “In the presence of everyone, he went to find your family’s foster daughter. What kind of behavior is that?”
“Isn’t this siding with someone trying to steal a nest? Can you really tolerate this?”
Ying Yuexuan was startled, “Do you also think that blood relations are more important than adoption?”
“Of course,” the socialite replied, “How important is a blood relationship? No one would want someone with no blood relation to inherit their wealth, would they?”
“Didn’t I tell you about it on the phone last time? My second aunt can’t bear children, so they adopted one, didn’t they?”
“But later on, my second uncle openly brought home his illegitimate child and even let him join the company, and my second aunt couldn’t say anything about it.”
Ying Yuexuan bowed her head and fell silent.
Yet clearly, Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting favored her more.
But only today did she realize that Ying Tianlv’s attitude towards her was in fact the normal one.
“Just a heads-up for you,” the socialite patted her shoulder and sighed, “I know you don’t like competing with others, but you can’t let what’s yours be taken away. Otherwise, you’ll regret it later.”
Ying Yuexuan seemed still in a daze and did not respond.
Seeing her like this, the socialite continued, “Plus, people are visual creatures. Look at her appearance; who here can compare?”
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuexuan turned her head to look towards the other side.
The girl was still wearing a white T-shirt and casual pants, with a black baseball cap on her head.
Surrounding her were daughters of wealth and noble ladies in gowns, even the waiters were dressed in neat tailcoats.
Yet even so, her beauty was resplendent, her brows and eyes like artwork.
Being the same gender, Ying Yuexuan couldn’t help but admit, this was a beauty of an ethereal and transcendent nature.
“So you really should be more careful,” the socialite couldn’t help but advise, “Cozy up to your big brother a bit more to draw his attention back to you.”
“I understand,” Ying Yuexuan withdrew her hand smoothly, “I’m worried about my mom being alone over there, I’ll be going first.”
The socialite nodded and took a cocktail from a passing waiter.
She suddenly seemed to remember something.
She looked at Ying Yuexuan, then at Ying Tianlv and Ying Zijin nearby, frowning gradually.
How could she feel that these two seemed more like biological siblings?
Of course, even compared to Ying Tianlv, Ying Zijin’s looks were still far inferior.
**
By six-thirty, all the guests attending the ball had arrived.
The auction would take place after the ball.
After the opening dance, the auction would commence.
Ying Zijin didn’t go down; she stayed in the reserved presidential suite, leaning on the bed with a laptop on her legs.
She had no interest in attending the ball.
In the past, during the period of Ancient O Continent, she had stayed in various royal palaces for a while.
These royal family members’ favorite thing to do is to throw dance parties of all sizes.
She didn’t even want to look at them anymore.
The reason she was here today was because of Mu Heqing, and there was no need to participate in any other events.
Ying Zijin leaned on one hand, resting her head.
On the computer screen were messages from Rita.@@novelbin@@
They were using an international chat software.
This chat software was actually developed by the NOK forum.
But unlike the NOK forum, this was a listed software that could be found in the app store.
What was the same was that after adjusting the language setting, no matter what language the other party used, it could be automatically translated by the system into the language of choice.
This was why, even though the big shots on the NOK forum came from various countries, they could still harmoniously chat together.
After all, not everyone has a talent for languages and can master the languages of various countries.
Having not been to Earth for quite a long time, more than two hundred years, Ying Zijin was a bit rusty with things she used to know.
Therefore, she changed the system language to Latin.
It wasn’t originally available in the chat software, so she specifically asked 10 to add it.
“I’ve searched all over Shanghai City and can’t find a single person that matches you. How is that possible?”
Ying Zijin didn’t reply to this sentence but instead asked.
“What time are you meeting tonight?”
Rita’s reply came immediately.
“Don’t even mention it, we’re not meeting tonight. By the time we meet, it will be tomorrow, and still at two in the morning.”
“I don’t get it. Are poison masters bats? They all like to come out at night? You know about The Third Poison Master I hired last time, right? The one active in the forum like a high-quality counterfeit.”
Ying Zijin remembered the ID “Take a Pill from Me” and raised her eyebrows.
“I know, he’s quite active. Didn’t he go sell sunscreen?”
Rita got pretty annoyed when this came up.
“Yes, he went to sell sunscreen, right on the beach near my house. So it was quite convenient to hire him. But when he arrived, it was also the middle of the night. If it weren’t for the box of hydrating masks he gave me, I wouldn’t have let him go so easily.”
However, this was just talk.
Catching a poison master was harder than reaching for the sky.
Not to mention the top three, any poison master in the top ten was covered in poison.
Touching them without their consent, you could get poisoned without even realizing.
Ying Zijin paused for a moment.
“Alright, I will be there on time.”
“OK, I’ll wait for you. But by the way, what do you want to meet the Number One Poison Master for again?”
“To expose a fraud.”
“????”
After sending these two characters, Ying Zijin changed her online status to invisible.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
The man’s voice was low and deep, like the calm flow of the deep sea.
“Yaoyao, may I come in?”
Ying Zijin was still leaning on the bed. At his words, she lifted her eyes slightly, didn’t get up from the bed, but pressed the switch next to the headboard instead.
The door of the room opened.
One good thing about the Queen Hotel was that there were enough switches, which was convenient.
Fu Yunshen walked in and closed the door behind him.
However, his eyes were cast down, not looking towards the bed.
Ying Zijin observed him thoughtfully for two seconds, “I’m not wearing pajamas.”
“…”
Fu Yunshen slowly turned his head, his gaze deepening.
Ying Zijin’s gaze had already returned to the computer screen, not feeling there was anything inappropriate, and said naturally, “Isn’t this what you told me to do?”
“…”
Another few seconds of silence passed.
“I just went downstairs,” Fu Yunshen said after a while, “I saw people from the Meng Family.”
“The Meng Family?” Ying Zijin thought back and nodded slightly, “I seem to have heard Elder Mu mention them.”
“A genuine Ancient Medicine Family, direct lineage family members all practice ancient medicine.” Fu Yunshen sat on the sofa, crossing his long legs, and hooked his lips slightly, “On the surface, though, they claim to practice traditional Chinese medicine.”
Ancient medicine was different from traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine originated from ancient medicine.
Just like many of the modern combat techniques in Hua Country are actually remnants of ancient martial arts.
Without using inner strength, one could still have a certain level of ability.
What do you think?
