No one had expected that the old man would choose to commit suicide.
Now that Gu Beiyue didn't have enough evidence to prove the Ren Family's conspiracy, his punishment of the Ren and Qin Families was unfair to the Ren Family.
If he guessed correctly, the Ren Family was already making their move. It was very likely that more than half of the family heads in Medical City would join hands to plead for leniency on House Head Ren's behalf tomorrow morning.
It wasn't that Gu Beiyue couldn't deal with the Ren Family. If he couldn't do it this time, there would be a next time. Even if he didn't have the chance, he could still set up a trap for House Head Ren to jump into.
But he didn't want to waste his time on such a battle. His time was becoming more and more precious. Moreover, he didn't want to see more scandals in Medical City.
Only a doctor with good morals could win the trust of his patients. Many times, "trust" was also a good medicine!
If too many scandals were exposed in Medical City, how would the people of Cloud Realm view the medical academy's doctors? How could they give their lives to them?
That was why Gu Beiyue came here to find Fourth Young Miss Ren. It had to be said that Fourth Young Miss Ren's shielding this time had bitterly disappointed him.
Gu Beiyue didn't explain, only saying, "Fourth Young Miss Ren, I'll have to trouble you to pass on a message to your father. Just say that if I want to protect the entire Ren Family and its rising stars, including … you, don't act rashly. Don't act rashly. Otherwise, he will pay an even greater price! "
"Your Excellency Academy Head …" Fourth Young Miss Ren stopped crying as soon as she spoke. She'd known him for so many years, but this was the first time she realized that he wasn't such a heartless person. When he was ruthless, he could be so heartless! Or perhaps he was just heartless to begin with. Their past friendship, gratitude, and even politeness were all gone now.
"I hope you can pass on my message."
Gu Beiyue turned to leave after saying this, but Fourth Young Miss Ren chased after him and sobbed, "Your Excellency Academy Head, I know my wrongs!"
Gu Beiyue circled around her and continued to leave.
Anxious, Fourth Young Miss Ren grabbed his arm and said, "Your Excellency Academy Head, I'll definitely pass on your message! I only have one question for you. How long have you known Qin Min? "
He had always thought that she, like most people, thought that he had married the crippled Qin Min in order to support the Qin family and fight against the Ren family. He wasn't restricted by the other members of the Qin Family.
She had always stubbornly believed in it. Perhaps this was the reason why she didn't break down in tears on his wedding day.
However, Qin Min's medical skills were far beyond her imagination! Although she was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that Qin Min's medical skills were almost on par with hers.
Why was Qin Min so secretive?
Did he already know about Qin Min's true capabilities?
How long had they known each other?
Perhaps, all the questions could be summed up in one thing — did he really want to marry Qin Min?
Gu Beiyue did not turn around and only said, "Fourth Miss Ren, it is improper for men and women to touch each other. Your question is a private matter, so it's inconvenient for me to answer. Please forgive me. "
He was still polite and courteous, but Fourth Young Mistress Ren felt extremely distant.
She would rather have him lose his temper, be impatient, or reprimand her than to feel so distant. She felt so uncomfortable that her entire heart felt stifled, and she slowly let go of his hand.
When Gu Beiyue returned to the medical school, Qin Min was hiding in the study and reading medical books.
In less than two hours, the news of Qin Min's superb medical skills and her secretive abilities had spread throughout the entire Medical City. The Qin family, as well as the madams and young ladies of the aristocratic families who were on good terms with the Qin family, all flocked to visit her. There were even many students from the medical school who wanted to see her, saying that they wanted to consult her.
She, who had always disliked crowds, was scared out of her wits, so she hid in Gu Beiyue's study and let Shaoyao deal with the crowd outside.
Gu Beiyue also saw the crowd, so he quietly took a detour and returned to the courtyard from the back door.
As soon as he entered the study, he saw her sitting on his spacious chair with her legs crossed, flipping through the medical books. When she saw him enter, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately put her legs down and sat upright.
His gaze moved down and saw that her feet were still on her embroidered shoes. She didn't have time to put them on properly. She knew that it would be too late and thought that he wouldn't notice, but who knew that he would actually look down. She wanted to pretend that she didn't notice anything, but he just stared blankly.
She was embarrassed and embarrassed, and her legs subconsciously shrank back. Only then did he realize her embarrassment and hurriedly looked away.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were here. My apologies. "After he finished speaking, he immediately left.
She couldn't wait to find a hole to hide in. As she put on her shoes, she muttered, "Gu Beiyue, aren't you very good at pretending? Can't you just pretend that you didn't see it? "
As a doctor, Gu Beiyue had seen a woman's bare feet and legs before, let alone a woman without shoes. He had seen Qin Min's calf a few times and even helped her apply medicine.
The reason why he was stunned was not because of her feet, but because she had taken off her shoes and was sitting on the chair. Was this dignified, proper, and cultured Eldest Miss always like this in private? When he first saw her back, he thought that he had mistaken her for someone else.
Gu Beiyue stood outside the door. He didn't know when Qin Min had put on her shoes, but he didn't dare to go in again.
Qin Min waited for a long time before she walked out.
Gu Beiyue had already regained his usual calmness, as if nothing had happened. He invited Qin Min to sit in the courtyard.
When it came to embarrassing matters, as long as one party wasn't embarrassed, the other party would also be at ease.
Qin Min had also regained her usual quiet and gentle demeanor. She was a completely different person from the person who was lazily sitting on the chair and reading a book.
"Eldest Miss Qin, your medical skills have surprised me." Gu Beiyue went straight to the point. He was surprised and curious, "That set of acupuncture techniques is …"
The Qin Family had a few sets of acupuncture techniques that were not taught to outsiders, but it was definitely not Qin Min's set. What he wanted to ask was who taught Qin Min this set of acupuncture techniques.
"I extracted the essence of the Qin Family's ten sets of acupuncture techniques and created them with severe injuries." Qin Min didn't hide anything.
Gu Beiyue was shocked. He knew that Qin Min wouldn't lie, and there was no need for her to lie. If Qin Min had created this set of acupuncture techniques, then her medical attainments would be even higher. Her future achievements would be immeasurable.
Seeing that Gu Beiyue didn't say anything, Qin Min hesitated for a moment before she asked faintly, "Grand Tutor Gu, I didn't spoil your plans in my eagerness to save someone, right?"
Gu Beiyue knew that Qin Min was referring to him and Fourth Miss Ren.
Fourth Young Mistress Ren suddenly appeared and accused her father. Fourth Young Mistress Ren claimed that she could cure that strange illness. Third Young Mistress Ren had chosen Fourth Young Mistress Ren. Based on these three points alone, not to mention Qin Min, even other people would guess that Fourth Young Mistress Ren was instructed by him.
Gu Beiyue wanted to explain, but Qin Min said faintly, "Grand Tutor Gu, I didn't understand the situation. I just thought that since I promised you to save someone, I had to do it no matter what. If I spoiled your plans, I hope you can forgive me. Please convey my apologies to Fourth Miss Ren. "
Gu Beiyue looked at her and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Before he could speak, Qin Min stood up. She was still so polite and calm, as if no one could disturb her quiet little world.
"Grand Tutor Gu, if there's anything else, feel free to let me know. I'll take my leave first. "
So speaking, Qin Min turned to leave. Gu Beiyue watched her retreating form as his eyebrows creased. His dark eyes flickered with a trace of heartache.
However, he didn't chase after her or explain himself.
It was a misunderstanding, right?
He didn't want to find an opportunity to deliberately reject and hurt her.
He muttered to himself, "Qin Min, the matter at Medical City is over. You should go back to Yunning. Maybe you'll be happier there. "
Qin Min walked away confidently, but she was counting. She was waiting!
She was counting how many steps she had taken. She was waiting for him to catch up with her and explain to her about Fourth Miss Ren.
He had acquiesced to her probing, which meant that he had arranged for Fourth Miss Ren to do what she did. She didn't know why he had arranged it, and she couldn't care less. However, shouldn't he at least give her a heads-up?
Not only did he allow Fourth Young Mistress Ren to interfere, but he also chose her. Why did he teach her the treatment method so seriously?
Did he know how awkward it was for her when he chose Fourth Miss Ren? How sarcastic were those people looking at her?
She was open-minded, but that didn't mean she had no self-respect!
In order to succeed, she was willing to sacrifice a little bit of her self-respect. However, he should have at least told her first!
What was the point of not saying anything and letting her guess like a fool?
Fortunately, she was the first to save the old man in the end. She was stubborn and willful enough to complete what he had asked her to do.
Qin Min pushed the door open and said angrily, "Gu Beiyue, you're infuriating me!"
Shaoyao was in the room. When she saw Qin Min, she immediately rushed over. "Miss, those women outside are so scary. They …"
Before she could finish speaking, Shaoyao was stunned. She pulled Qin Min and stood on her tiptoes. "Miss, you're crying!"
Qin Min pushed her away. "What nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with those women outside? "
Shaoyao said seriously, "Miss, you're crying!"
Qin Min suddenly closed in on Shaoyao. She glared at her and asked angrily, "When did I cry?"
She was full of anger. Shaoyao, this brat, was asking for a scolding.
"Miss, your eyes are red." Shaoyao was also very persistent. "You're not crying?"
Qin Min was slightly stunned.
Her eyes were red? Why didn't she know?
She wasn't sad. She was just angry, very angry.
Sadness would make people cry. Anger … would that happen too?
"Miss, did Young Master … bully you again?" Shaoyao probed.
It wasn't clear if Qin Min heard Shaoyao's question, but she said sternly, "Shaoyao, tears that don't fall are not tears. I'm not crying. If you dare to spout nonsense, I'll chase you back to the Qin family! "
Shaoyao originally wanted to ask about Fourth Miss Ren, but when she heard this, she covered her mouth with both hands and nodded vigorously to show that she understood.
In the next few days, the Ren and Qin families didn't make any big moves. Although some people came to plead for leniency, it didn't affect the overall situation. The warning that Gu Beiyue asked Fourth Miss Ren to bring back seemed to be very effective. As for Patriarch Qin, Patriarch Qin knew that he was done for this time. He didn't lose to the Ren family, but to Gu Beiyue, his son-in-law, and he was willing to accept it.
Although Gu Beiyue's punishment was severe, it didn't meet with any resistance from the various families. Therefore, it had a great deterrent effect on the medical world. This was extremely helpful for Gu Beiyue's next few reforms.
When this matter reached Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's ears, Long Fei Ye said that Gu Beiyue's methods were gentle violence.
A few days later, Vice Academy Head Shen personally carried out the punishment for the Qin and Ren family heads. Both family heads were demoted to medical slaves. The so-called medical slave was a doctor who had no personal freedom and was forever locked in prison to treat the prisoners' illnesses.
Before they were sent to prison, the two family heads were temporarily imprisoned in Medical City's prison. Patriarch Qin requested to see Qin Min …
