Chapter 464: Rewards for Success
Mentioning Doctor Wu and his son, Lai Manting abruptly turned her head, "Mother, please send someone to call for Doctor Wu and his son; the little girl poured all of the medicine powder into my mouth. Ask them to bring the antidote—and quickly!"
She had to take the antidote as soon as possible, so as to prevent her figure from becoming disfigured and prevent more blotches from appearing on her face.
Leng Zongfa covered his nose and mouth as he walked to the vanity, squinting at his daughter’s face before shaking his head, "That face of yours, I’m afraid it can’t be cured. How can it smell so foul?"
Hearing her father also mention the stench, Lai Manting suspiciously shifted her gaze to Mrs. Feng, "Mother, do you think it smells?"
Mrs. Feng nodded with difficulty, "Indeed, there is a rather unpleasant odor."
"To see if the paste used by Doctor Wu and his son has any effect, one can simply inquire with the Imperial Physician."
Leng Zongfa flicked his sleeve, hurriedly fleeing the stench-filled area.

Elsewhere, Li Yuyue sent Gao Yuan to check on Doctor Wu’s medical clinic.
But unexpectedly, upon arriving at the clinic, Gao Yuan discovered that the clinic had changed owners.
The signboard hanging at the clinic’s entrance was being removed; after inquiring further, he learned that Doctor Wu and his son had sold the clinic several days earlier, and today was the official day of ownership transfer according to the contract.
