Chapter 166: How Is Your Brain Constructed?
She had already lost her father's favor; indeed, because of Wu Shi, she had already lost her status as the legitimate daughter. Now that Wu Shi's deeds had been exposed, what she would become was something she dared not even imagine.
Jun Jun Yiyi seemed to have all her bones drained away, suddenly losing all support, and collapsed weakly onto the cold floor.
In the dim hall, candlelight flickered, casting the anger on Xiang Xiang Junzheng's face.
His eyes were filled with disgust as he stared tightly at Jun Jun Yiyi kneeling before him.
"Eldest daughter, since you knew of these evil acts yet still attempted to blackmail everyone in the household, and now you suddenly reveal this secret, plunging the Jun household into a dilemma, it is clear your mind is also vicious."
The Old Lady sighed deeply, then spoke slowly:
"Send the eldest daughter to Antang to copy scriptures and reflect on her faults. She is not to step out even a single pace before she comes of age."
Hearing she was to be sent to Antang, Jun Jun Yiyi, disregarding the throbbing pain in her wounded arm, struggled to her feet, dropped to her knees before the Old Lady with a thud, her face smeared with snot and tears, crying out for mercy:
"Grandmother, spare my life! Jun Yiyi knows her mistake! Jun Yiyi will never do it again! If Jun Yiyi goes to Antang, how can I ever face people again..."
A flicker of reluctance passed through the Old Lady's eyes, but thinking of what this granddaughter had done, she closed her eyes wearily. When she opened them again, her gaze was clear and her heart had hardened; she waved her hand to signal the servants to take her away.
Zhou Shi dried her tears and bowed deeply to Jun Jun Zijin and Jun Chengcai:
"Thanks to the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Lady for uncovering the truth; I shall remember this grace."
The two quickly stepped aside to avoid the bow and returned the salute.
Jun Jun Zijin smiled slightly and said softly:
"Mother need not be so; now that the truth is fully revealed, you and Jun Shuyan can finally set your minds at ease."
Before Zhou Shi could speak, Jun Jun Shuyan stepped forward a few paces, affectionately taking Jun Jun Zijin's hand, the light of admiration in her eyes deepening further, and said with exaggerated expressions:
"Second Sister, you were absolutely dashing just now."
Her tone carried a hint of playfulness and mischief, as if the tension and anxiety from moments before had vanished into thin air.
Jun Jun Zijin laughed helplessly; this girl had indeed learned quite a few words from the future.
"Second Young Lady, I have a request to make."
Zhou Shi glanced at Jun Jun Shuyan, hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind; turning to look at Jun Jun Zijin, her eyes revealed a plea as she spoke.
Jun Jun Zijin nodded slightly, signaling Zhou Shi to continue.
Zhou Shi took a deep breath:
"I beg the Second Young Lady to take Jun Shuyan with you, letting her learn from you. This child of mine is simple and kind; in this complex family, I fear she will be plotted against again. You have seen much and are wise; I believe that with you, Jun Shuyan will surely learn many things and better protect herself."
Jun Jun Zijin looked at Jun Jun Shuyan and smiled slightly.
"Mother need not worry; Jun Shuyan is clever and lovely, and I am naturally happy to take her along."
Hearing this, Jun Jun Shuyan jumped up in excitement, hugging Jun Jun Zijin's arm and refusing to let go.
After Jun Jun Yiyi was sent to Antang, the atmosphere in the Jun household suddenly grew quiet.
Jun Jun Zijin raised a hand to cover her mouth and let out a heavy yawn, her eyes welling with tears from the intense drowsiness; she had not slept all night, and upon returning to Aoxue Courtyard, she fell asleep without a care.
Unknown how much time had passed, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, gently falling on Jun Jun Zijin's face.
She slowly opened her eyes, her mind still foggy, her consciousness wandering in chaos.
Just then, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight, sitting quietly by the bedside.
"Oh my!"
Jun Jun Zijin was startled; always so vigilant, she had slept so deeply she hadn't even noticed someone by her bed.
"Oh, it's me!"
A familiar voice sounded, and the figure before her gradually came into focus; it was He Ling'er. He Ling'er was dressed in a fresh outfit, her eyebrows and eyes full of excitement and joy.
Jun Jun Zijin patted her chest, let out a long sigh, and said in a grumpy tone:
"You nearly scared me to death! In broad daylight, what kind of surprise attack is this?"
He Ling'er paid no mind to Jun Jun Zijin's complaint, grinned as she leaned forward, grasped Jun Jun Zijin's arms with both hands, and said excitedly:
"Jun Zijin, I can't wait to tell you some huge good news! The hospital we've been longing for, integrated with future culture, is finally renovated!"
"What? Let's go take a look."
Jun Jun Zijin instantly woke up; the drowsiness in her eyes vanished completely, replaced by surprise and excitement.
She had always been dedicated to reforming and innovating the medical hall, integrating advanced medical knowledge and cultural concepts from the future, hoping to bring better treatment and care to more patients.
But she had never been able to free herself until the arrival of her past-life friend He Ling'er. Now that the hospital was built, this ideal was half accomplished.
Jun Jun Zijin hurriedly rose, simply groomed herself, and changed into a clean, capable moon-white long robe. Miaozhu Cloaked in heaviness over her shoulders; only a simple jade hairpin adorned her bun, making her appear fresh and neat without losing elegance.
Jun Jun Zijin led a group of people in a carriage to the hospital.
Standing at the entrance of the medical hall, everyone except Jun Jun Zijin and He Ling'er was stunned by the scene before them.
The hospital had been converted from a residence; the originally simple appearance of the medical hall, through clever design, incorporated the clean and grand decoration style of the future while retaining traditional charm.
Above the main gate, a brand-new plaque shone brightly in the sunlight, bearing the four large characters "Tong'an Hospital," written with vigorous strength.
Stepping inside the hospital, the internal layout made everyone's eyes light up even more.
On the walls of the medical hall, carefully hung were pictures and texts introducing medical knowledge from the future.
These pictures were vivid and lifelike, the text concise and easy to understand; they conveyed professional medical knowledge without losing interest, allowing people to gain knowledge while appreciating them.
The waiting area was furnished with comfortable seats and included a tea room supplying boiling water all day long.
The medical hall was equipped with wards, an operating room, a training room, and staff dormitories.
"So this is a hospital; it's truly huge!"
Jun Chengcai exclaimed:
"Sister, you actually managed to build the medical hall like this; I truly don't know how your brain is constructed."
Jun Jun Shuyan finally came to her senses and chimed in with animated expressions:
"Yes, I never expected the medical hall Second Sister wanted to build would be like this; it's too magical, truly unbelievable."
The maids also wore expressions of admiration.
The group walked and chatted, praising the clinic's new appearance without end.
Although this hospital lacked the advanced medical equipment of later eras.
Yet from its layout, facilities, service, and the medical philosophy it conveyed, it was already a proper modern hospital, providing patients with more comfortable, convenient, and professional medical care.
