He never thought that there would be such a strong competition to become a doctor. He only heard that Prime Minister Su's medical fees were quite generous, but the relative risks were also high. If he couldn't cure the princess' illness, he would be chased out by the Prime Minister's fatty.

However, even with such conditions, there were still many doctors who rushed over to the Prime Minister's Estate to try their luck.

With so many of these people, it would be a little more difficult for those who truly wanted to contribute.

She had only eaten two steamed buns in the morning before coming to the Prime Minister's Estate, and now she still had to wait for the doctors in front of her to finish their diagnosis and treatment. It was simply too excruciating.

Chen Mu Mu sighed. Because there were so many people in the courtyard, nobody paid attention to her. Thus, she crouched down and went to a corner to rest.

The people in the courtyard were all doctors, and it was said that the doctor in charge of maintaining the princess' survival in the hall at the Prime Minister's Residence was an even more brilliant person. With these people, Su Yanyan should be able to live past the next few hours, right?

Chen Mu was very generous and knew that it wouldn't be his turn to step up in a short while. He took out a dry steamed bun from his cloth bag and ate it slowly while observing the situation in the county governor's courtyard.

The environment was naturally quiet. With such a greedy father, Su Yanyan did not lack living expenses.

The courtyard was wide with many exotic flowers and herbs. Although it had no medicinal value, it was very valuable to watch. If one were to place the flowers within the yard, one would feel that the air they breathed was sweet and fragrant.

However, right now, the environment was still very quiet. It was just that there were a bunch of doctors who didn't dare to speak and treated themselves as mutes.

With so many people, the air was not as good.

Chen Mu Mu couldn't be bothered to care about these people. After eating the steamed buns, she noticed that there were still tens of people queuing up in front of her. She stretched out her hand and yawned, feeling tired again.

"Why don't we take a nap first?"

Chen Mu Mu was sitting on a rock, and her gaze once again swept across the group of silent doctors. Then, she lowered her head and lay down on her knees to take a nap.

Before he closed his eyes, he sighed.

In the ancient times, men valued their own children. All walks of life discriminated against women. There wasn't a single female doctor in the entire courtyard.

She was the only girl and it was not easy for her to talk to others. How boring.

Just as he was thinking about this, a rather gentle voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Lunch time is up and Miss is tired. She needs to rest for an hour. Gentlemen, why don't you all go to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Estate to eat something to fill your stomachs? "

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Mu Mu's heart thumped, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

She had heard many gentle voices before, and she wasn't a voice user either. She wouldn't jump when she heard a pleasant voice.

What shocked her the most was that she seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. It sounded somewhat familiar?

Although she didn't have much feelings for the person she just met, she still had some impression of all of her friends.

However, there were only a few of her friends here and there, and they weren't related to the doctor or the Prime Minister at all. How could she have heard such a familiar voice from the Prime Minister's Estate?

Chen Mu was an astute person, and due to the many people who had plotted against her recently, a conspiracy seemed to be brewing. With a grim expression, he turned to look at the owner of the voice.

The moment his gaze landed on her, he fixed his gaze on her body. Despite her calmness, she did not notice the slight change in her expression.

She was dressed in plain matriarch clothes and had a hairpin raised lightly. Her facial features were ordinary, and her face was gentle and calm. She had a very amiable image of a matriarch.

However, this person wasn't that easy to talk to when they met a few months ago.

Why would she suddenly come to the Prime Minister's Estate?

Perhaps because Chen Mu Mu Mu's gaze was too direct, the woman instantly caught her gaze and looked over.

Their gazes met and there was a brief moment of astonishment.

However, after being stunned, the two of them acted as if they didn't know each other and retracted their gazes.

The woman was still asking the maidservants to call the doctors over for dinner. Chen Mu Mu Mu continued to maintain her squatting posture.

Time passed by mercilessly. Half a moment later, only Chen Mu Mu and the woman remained in the courtyard.

"Miss, I'll take you to eat." The woman walked over casually and said gently.

Chen Mu, who had just eaten a cold steamed bun, was not actually hungry. However, after hearing the woman's words, she looked around and decided to cooperate with her.

"Thank you."

The woman nodded and led her past the gardens.

This was Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's first time at the Prime Minister's Estate. He was not familiar with the path of the Residence of Prime Minister, but when he saw that the woman had taken her to a more desolate place, he was shocked and felt for his waist.

This person brought her to a remote place. Could it be that he wanted to suddenly make a move and make a move against her?

With her mind filled with all sorts of thoughts, the woman had already brought her to a remote and small courtyard.

Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched as she looked at the overgrown weeds, then at the cobwebs on the ground and then at the woman who had stopped to stare at her.

"What, did you bring me here to silence me?"

When the woman heard this, she rolled her eyes.

"You damned girl. How long has it been since we last met and you want to pretend to forget about me? You're too heartless!"

Hearing this, the woman was still willing to acknowledge her.

Chen Mu smirked. "I haven't forgotten. It's just that you've changed so much in the past few months that I'm afraid to recognize you."

She sized up the person in front of her once again and a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes. "Yao Sanniang, how have you been?"

"Of course. Each strand of air that we breathe outside is more fragrant than the one in the prison." Yao Sanniang stretched her back in front of her. With a relaxed expression, she said, "Only after coming out did I realize how wonderful the taste of freedom is."

"Is that so?" Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at her but didn't comment. "So the 'freedom' you're referring to is to come to the Prime Minister's Estate to be a maid?"

These words were so fake that even a three year old child could not be fooled.

Yao Sanniang's eyebrows twitched and she rolled her eyes, "Fine, I know you're smart. I can't hide anything from you."

She paused, a trace of mockery flitting across her eyes. Lowering her head, she said somewhat depressingly, "I've come to the Prime Minister's Estate for a purpose indeed."

"What purpose?" Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu transformed into a curious baby as he asked excitedly.

Yao Sanniang refused to answer, "This is my personal secret, I don't need to tell you."

"Is that so?" Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was unperturbed as she narrowed her eyes into two crescent moons, "If I remember correctly, Third Madam, you seemed to have an agreement with me."

Yao Sanniang's face twitched as her eyes flickered, "What agreement?"

"Aiya, you're going back on your word just like that? Those who renege on their debt are not good children. " Chen Mu Mu frowned slightly. "You probably don't know this, but I hate people who don't keep their promises and don't keep their promises."

In the Linzhou City prison before, Yao Sanniang had already been secretly taken advantage of by Chen Mu Mu. Now that she had changed her tone, her entire body trembled and her expression changed a few times.

"I'm not going back on my word."

"That's good." Chen Mu Mu Mu once again revealed a smile, his face looked harmless, but his gaze was somewhat aggressive. "However, since you didn't go back on your word and came out of the Linzhou City prison, why didn't you come find me?"

"I remember someone telling me that they were going to be my lackey for five years."

Yao Sanniang's anger died down and she fell silent. After a long while, she finally said, "I don't know where you live."

Chen Mu Mu replied, "Hur Hur."

At that time, her case's name shook Linzhou and if one was serious, it would be a joke to not be able to find out where she lived.

Perhaps it was because it was too ear-piercing, but Yao Sanniang's face turned white, turning red. After hesitating for a while, she sighed.

"I don't want to break my promise but I have been imprisoned for too long. Since I have come out, I have to make up for my regrets."

Some regrets, once created, could cause a person to be stuck for a lifetime.

And she had finally found freedom. She had a chance to make up for her regrets, so of course she wouldn't miss it.

"I just want to find you and fulfill my five-year promise after I've made up my regret."

"A person can say anything he wants with his mouth." Chen Mu Mu Mu spoke in a low voice, declining to comment.

Actually, when she made the promise with Yao Sanniang back then, she had only been joking around and didn't take it to heart.

After all, at that time, she didn't even have the intention to save Yao Sanniang from prison.

Her agreement with Yao Sanniang was established on the basis of Yao Sanniang's freedom.

Originally, there was no hope. Who would have thought that Yao Sanniang would actually escape and openly infiltrate the Prime Minister's manor, becoming a part of the Prime Minister's household.

Suddenly, Chen Mu Mu Mu wanted to burn a stick of incense on Qin Tianli.

No reason, just thinking.

That living ancestor who desired to stir up trouble was the one who had harassed the prison with Linzhou twice in a row, and he had also released many prisoners.

He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but some of the prisoners had already run away and never returned to the prison.

After that, it seemed like it was going to end there as well.

However, with so many criminals running away from him, Qin Tiansei was still fine. There was no crime that landed on him, so his ability to withstand pressure was top-notch.

Perhaps, it was him who had the ability to shake off the pot and clear away all responsibilities.

But no matter what, Chen Mu Mu still wanted to burn a stick of incense for Qin Tianli due to the fact that this heinous crime hadn't harmed him.

This prince had reached the point where he could enjoy the incense.

Yao Sanniang forced a smile. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Then you've come looking for me. What are your plans? You want me to go with you now? "

It had to be said that Yao Sanniang's brainpower was truly formidable.

However, she really liked this brainwash.

Chen Mu Mu tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Then, if I want you to leave, are you willing to leave?"

A trace of struggle flashed in Yao Sanniang's eyes. After a long while, she nodded with difficulty, "Since it's a promise, I will naturally fulfill it."

Although he said that, his face turned green.

Chen Mu Mu was secretly amused, but he didn't reveal it on his face. His eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

"Actually, I don't need you to come with me right now. You only need to answer a question for me."

"Alright." The surprise was too unexpected for Yao Sanniang to even think about it.

A trace of craftiness flitted across Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's eyes, but the smile on her face deepened.

"Then tell me, what exactly is the illness of the Princess Qingxia?"

There was no one who knew the patient's condition better than those who stayed with him for a long time.

Although she did not know the reason behind Yao Sanniang sneaking into the Prime Minister's Residence, she was sure that Yao Sanniang's understanding of Su Yanyan was no less than the doctors outside.
