Chapter 25
However, Xi Ma is not just anyone. He is one of the closest aides for the Wei Prince who Ming Ya wants to marry. Badly.
He is used to beautiful women chasing the Prince from different parts of the continent. This scheme to get close to him to show favor is something he is used to.
'Ah. It should feel good to be chased by women too. ' he shook his head after thinking this.
With all that has happened, he is sure that Ming Ya is now a.s.suming that Prince Wei is connected to the Medical Pavilion. That alone is already enough reason for this woman not to give up chasing the prince.
Since he is closely servicing Prince Wei, there is a high chance that a lot will speculate regarding the background of the Medical Pavilion.
Especially this young miss Ming Ya. They cannot offend the Ming family yet since it is one of the strongest family in the s.h.i.+zi Empire. Xi Ma just hopes that they will not try to do anything to manipulate his master to
No one will know how Prince Wei will retaliate. 'I will just discuss this with the master later.'
Xi Ma gave a dismissive smile to Ming Ya and did not say anything more. He proceeded with prioritizing the closure of the Medical Pavilion that day.
This made her a little irritated but did not show it on her face.
Before she left, she glanced at the young woman who is wearing a blue face veil. She is currently sitting on a chair while a servant and the old beggar are standing near her.
She is still not decided if she will approach her or not. Deciding that nothing will harm her if she tries, "Miss it is a good thing that all is now proven. I hope you do not mind, I am called Ming Ya. I just want to know how I should address you?"
Ming Ya arrived at the Medical Pavilion late, so she was not present when Xi Ma asked Gao Lan Mei about her ident.i.ty. She arrived after the physicians finished confirming the presence of poison in the walnut.
She just learned from the others that this woman supported the mute old beggar regarding this claim.
"Surname Gao." Gao Lan Mei responded without any expression.
For Ming Ya, this means that Gao Lan Mei does not appreciate her attempt to know her.
Nevertheless, she endured her irritation, "This is the first time I have seen Miss Gao. You might not be aware of the Ming family?" She smiled pleasantly.
"Ming family?" Gao Lan Mei asked with brows wrinkled showing her confusion.
With this Ming Ya, confirmed that Gao Lan Mei is not a citizen of the s.h.i.+zi Empire. The Ming Family is one of the strongest family in the empire due to the backing of the Empress Mother.
"Yes. Anyone from the Ming family should not be offended. This is just an advice that you should strongly remember." Ming Ya stated with confidence.
"Is that so?"Gao Lan Mei asked, "You can also remember that I am someone who should also not be offended." added still with her usual indifferent tone.
