Chapter 1726: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1726: Granny Fang
Meng Qi knew that Shu Yu definitely hadn't told the truth, but he understood that Meng Yunzheng and the others were planning something significant and wanted to keep the truth hidden from as few people as possible.
Thus, he didn't refute Shu Yu's words and only remembered to introduce Shu Yu's identity, hastily saying, "This is my cousin's fiancée, Miss Lu. After hearing about the incident in Chenggu County, she was worried about the safety of her family and came to the county with my cousin a couple of days ago."
Doctor Mi extended his hand in a gesture of respect, "Miss Lu is considerate. Since those bandits believe that Brother Meng has already died, they probably won't harass the Meng family anymore. However, just to be safe, let Brother Meng recuperate here for now. Once the officials capture those bandits, he can return home."
"Thank you very much, Doctor Mi."
Doctor Mi waved his hand, "Your father is a good friend of mine, so it's only natural. But if you happen to find out the bandits' whereabouts, it would be wise to inform the patrolling officers immediately and have them apprehended as soon as possible."
Shu Yu sighed, expressing regret, "We did try to catch up and find out their hideout. Unfortunately, we lost them midway. My uncle's injuries are too severe for us to delay any further, so we had to give up."
Doctor Mi was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but given the circumstances, there wasn't much else that could be done.
As they were conversing, faint footsteps suddenly approached from outside.
Meng Qi glanced outside, "It's Granny Fang."
Doctor Mi's clinic was a small one, usually manned by two doctors and two apprentice healers. However, due to the chaos in the county, the clinic had temporarily closed. So, during these days, only Doctor Mi lived in the clinic.
Doctor Mi used to have a wife and daughter, but his wife passed away last year, and his daughter got married two years ago. As a result, besides Doctor Mi himself, there was only Granny Fang and Yuan Gui left in the spacious clinic.
Upon seeing the people inside the room, Granny Fang appeared somewhat reserved. She immediately whispered, "I heard some noise here, so I came to see if you needed any help."
"No need, we're fine now." Meng Qi took a few steps forward and asked Granny Fang, "How is Yuan Gui doing?"
"He's much better now. He woke up briefly last night and was able to get out of bed." Granny Fang hurriedly explained, "Thank you so much, Young Master Meng. Without you, I might never have seen Ah Gui again."
"You don't need to be so formal, Granny Fang."
Granny Fang smiled, as if remembering something, and then looked up, "By the way, I was planning to prepare breakfast. What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you. I, I'll pay."
Since Yuan Gui was staying here for his recovery and had already paid for medical expenses, his meals were included. However, he had to cook for himself, with Doctor Mi providing utensils and ingredients.
Granny Fang didn't have much money left, but she genuinely wanted to thank Meng Qi. Since she couldn't offer anything else, making a meal for Yuan Gui, the person who saved his life, was the least she could do.
As long as Yuan Gui was safe and sound, they could earn money again in the future.
Meng Qi was actually quite hungry, so he didn't decline, "Thank you, Granny Fang. Anything is fine. Uh... maybe some porridge?"
"Sure thing."
Granny Fang turned and left the room.
Shu Yu thought for a moment and followed her, "Let me help you."
Granny Fang was taken aback, turning her head to look at her. Shu Yu had been standing on the side inside the room, and Granny Fang hadn't noticed her. She assumed there were only Meng Qi, Doctor Mi, and the injured person in the room.
Unexpectedly, a girl suddenly appeared from inside the room.
