Chapter 452: 452 Thinking you’re Princess Yongning? [2 more updates]

"Hey, what has Lanlan done to you?" Xing Yue was unhappy, "You didn’t even bring her a gift, and now you’re being harsh with her. I’m telling you, with me around, you won’t get to bully Lanlan."

Su Jinran hadn’t expected Xing Yue to jump out and speak up for Wanlan. She suppressed her anger, "This is the Su Family residence, even I have to follow the rules. If you break them, you can be kicked out. We don’t have much time left for filming."

"So what if it’s the Su Family?" Xing Yue said nonchalantly, "It’s not like I’ve never been here before. Last time I came, you weren’t even a core disciple."

"Miss Su, Miss Ye has things to handle. We’ll go ahead and wait there," the director also spoke up, "We really can’t shoot this program without Miss Ye."

Indeed, the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique was extremely appealing.

But if Su Jinran truly had an irreconcilable conflict with Ye Wanlan, of course, he would stand with the entire crew on Ye Wanlan’s side.

The director fully believed that Ye Wanlan could bring this production of Treasures of The Divine Land to a successful conclusion.

Su Jinran’s brow furrowed.

Even knowing her identity as Miss Su and the younger sister of Su Ningxiang, the crew still showed such favoritism towards Ye Wanlan?

Was it just because Ye Wanlan had exceptional talent in archaeology?

Su Ningxiang had instructed her to stay with the crew to observe Ye Wanlan, and even though she wanted to storm off right now, she had to restrain herself.

"Then let us go ahead and wait at the pavilion up front," Su Jinran composed herself, "Please, Miss Ye, be quick. We don’t want to delay everyone."

"Lanlan, do your thing," Xing Yue crossed her arms, "I’ll stand right here and see who dares to bully you."

Fuming, Su Jinran turned and walked away.

The director muttered, "This Miss Su Jinran doesn’t seem very clever."

"We should finish filming the Taiyi Palace segment as soon as possible," Producer Liu shook his head, "To prevent any future troubles. Huo Ximian, a collateral member of the Huo Family, is audacious enough, and Miss Su Jinran is a core disciple."

Producer Liu naturally did not understand the internal system of the Five Great Families, but the title of core disciple surely held a higher status than that of a collateral member.

Ye Wanlan stepped aside and dialed a phone number, "Young Master Shen, are you in Yunjing now?"

"I am!" Shen Que startled, "Miss Ye, what can I do for you?"

"I’m at the Su Family residence," Ye Wanlan said, "Their clinic is short-staffed, and there are people waiting for consultations. If you have some free time, could you take them over? I’ll cover the medical expenses."

"The Su Family? Miss Ye, you mentioned the Su Family?" Shen Que’s expression grew solemn, "Any hospital might be short-staffed, but this should never happen at the Su Family, where everybody is trained in medicine."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Miss Ye might be visiting the Yunjing Su Family for the first time and not know the rules of their clinic," Shen Que sighed, "They only issue a certain number of tokens each day, no matter how urgent the case. Without a token, you can’t get a consultation."

Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, "Continue."

"Those who come to the Su Family for medical help are all cases involving complicated diseases," Shen Que continued, "If the illnesses were normal, the hospital would have been enough."

But since the Su Family only issued a set number of tokens daily, these tokens had been driven to extremely high prices on the market, which most patients could not afford.

Every day, patients would go to the Su Family’s clinic to try their luck in getting treatment, but every one of them returned unsuccessful.

"Yeah, take them away," Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment, "Since I’ve encountered them, I’ll save them."

"No problem," Shen Que agreed, "I’ll head right over. But why did Miss Ye suddenly go to the Su Family?"

"Recording a show," Ye Wanlan answered tersely, "And doing an inspection."

"Inspection?" Shen Que was taken aback, but he did not ask further, "Don’t worry, Miss Ye. I’ll take care of everything you’ve mentioned."

After the call ended, Ye Wanlan pondered deeply.

A moment later, she approached Su Jinran, "The clinic dispatched so many people, is it because the Su Family is short-staffed?"

"Is it Miss Ye’s first time in Yunjing? Don’t you know the consultation rules of the Su Family?" Su Jinran responded coldly, "It’s not that we’re short-staffed, it’s that those people didn’t get a token, and they don’t qualify to come in for consultation."

This was exactly the same as what Shen Que had described.

Ye Wanlan hummed, "Since manpower is sufficient, why not treat additional patients?"

"Miss Ye, don’t lament on behalf of others here," Su Jinran stopped, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "Do you know how precious the medical resources of the Su Family are? If everyone had access, would they still be valuable? How would the Su Family make money then?"

After all, scarcity drives value.

A token from the Su Family could start at a seven-figure price in the market, such an amount of money could support the Su Family’s further development.

"Yet, three hundred years ago, Taiyi Palace, regardless of gender, age, or social status, provided treatment to anyone who came to Medicine King Valley seeking medical help," Ye Wanlan spoke lightly, "The Su Family originated from Taiyi Palace, so why is it different now?"

Su Jinran lost her patience, her tone icy, "Miss Ye, you mentioned three hundred years ago. It’s definitely not three hundred years ago now, times have changed. Don’t you understand this simple fact?"

"Yes, I understand," Ye Wanlan did not get angry, but instead smiled faintly, "Times have changed, and the Su Family is ultimately not the Taiyi Palace."

Like the Jiangcheng Lin Family, the Su Family prioritized interests above all.

This was the result of the whole family centering around interests from top to bottom.

Even geniuses like Su Ningxiang and Lin Shiyuan did everything purely for "profit."

In this way, how could the Su Family and the Lin Family not be corrupted by interests?

Ye Wanlan’s expression was indifferent.

Using the name of Taiyi Palace, yet already corrupted by greed, truly disappointed her.

The Su Family must be thoroughly cleansed from top to bottom.

Otherwise, when she later met Shui Yunqing, how cold would Shui Yunqing’s heart be?

Su Jinran could not help but hear, Ye Wanlan’s words clearly meant that the Su Family was unworthy of being the successor to Taiyi Palace.

But being in the same production group, she would not confront Ye Wanlan directly during the filming.

"This is not something you need to worry about, nor does it concern you," Su Jinran turned her head, "Director, Producer Liu, we only have half a day for shooting today, let’s speed it up."

"This..." The director looked at Ye Wanlan first, "Miss Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "Continue filming, I also want to see what the legacy of Taiyi Palace really looks like."

Su Jinran led the way, and the guards and servants they met all showed her great respect.

Yet, she had a very strange feeling.

When Ye Wanlan heard her say this, it was not accusations laced with sarcasm but a sense of regret and melancholy.

It was like an emperor inspecting his subordinates, only to find that reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

Su Jinran exhaled.

She must be paranoid; since ancient times, when has any woman ever claimed to be an emperor?

An emperor?

Was Ye Wanlan even qualified?

Did she think she was Princess Yongning?

The affairs of the Su Family were not something an outsider could comment on.

**

On the other hand, a Hidden Guard had already reported the matter to Su Ningxiang.

"Oh? Have they already arrived?" Su Ningxiang’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Really sharp-tongued, to have blocked my dear sister from speaking."

The Hidden Guard kneeled on one knee, "With just one command from Miss Ningxiang, this outsider will be dealt with."

"As a sacred land of medicine, the Su Family must not see blood," Su Ningxiang said with a bewitching smile, "And don’t scare the people from ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ show crew either, you may leave now."

The Hidden Guard complied and quickly disappeared.

Su Ningxiang then looked up, her expression a mix of a smile and not, "Shiyuan, what do you think if I let her die quietly in the Su Family without a trace?"

The woman sitting opposite her, behind a veil, was none other than Lin Shiyuan of the Jiangcheng Lin Family.

She spoke indifferently, "She is not easy to kill."

Long before Lin Qin returned to the Lin Family, she had already had her people check every member of the Jiangcheng Lin Family.

Only Ye Wanlan seemed peculiar to her.

How could someone’s temperament change drastically twice in just a few years?

But the records showed that apart from archeology and studying, Ye Wanlan had no other talents.

Even when going to commemorate Lin Weilan, Lin Shiyuan had not sensed any fluctuations of inner strength in Ye Wanlan’s body.

This also proved that Ye Wanlan was not a martial artist.

"Killing her is of course difficult," said Su Ningxiang casually, "But my Su Family, skilled in medicine, is also skilled in poison."

Once Ye Wanlan entered the Su Family, she wouldn’t even know how she died!
