章節 25: Who should not be offended

Ming Ya smiled at Xi Ma with assurance, "I understand. It is good to know then. Still, if there's anything, let us know." Her smile was captivating. Her innocent eyes would make anyone unable to refuse.

However, Xi Ma was not just anyone. He was one of the closest aides for the Wei Prince who Ming Ya wanted to marry. Badly.

He was used to beautiful women chasing the Prince from different parts of the continent. This scheme to get close to him to show favor, he was used to it.

'Ah. It should feel good to be chased by women too. ' he shook his head after thinking this.

With all that happened, he was sure that Ming Ya now assumed that Prince Wei was connected to Medical Pavilion. That alone was already enough reason for this woman not to give up chasing the prince.

Since he was closely servicing Prince Wei, there was a high chance that a lot of people would speculate regarding the background of the Medical Pavilion.

Especially this young miss Ming Ya. They could not offend the Ming family yet since it was one of the strongest families in the Shizi Empire. Xi Ma just hoped that they would not try to do anything to manipulate his master to marry into this family.

No one knew how Prince Wei would retaliate.

'I will just discuss this with the master later.' Xi Ma gave a dismissive smile to Ming Ya and did not say more. He proceeded to prioritize the closure of the Medical Pavilion for that day.

This made her a little irritated but it did not show on her face.

Before she left, she glanced at the young woman who was wearing a blue face veil. She was currently sitting on a chair while a servant and the old beggar were standing near her.

She had still not decided if she would approach her or not.

Deciding that nothing would harm her if she tried, "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 asked Gao Lan Mei about her identity. She arrived when the physicians had already finished confirming the presence of poison on 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 meant that Gao Lan Mei did 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 was not a citizen of the Shizi Empire. The Ming Family is one of the strongest families 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.
