Chapter 67 Unable to Buy Medicine

The noodle fish made by the Qin family has a unique flavor that no one else can replicate, so even when others make and sell noodle fish, her business remains thriving.

They sell out every day after noon.

"Little fairy, what are you eating?"

A girl saw Qin Jin'an eating dried meat and asked him curiously.

Qin Jin'an generously handed her a piece: "Sister, have some. It's jerky made by my mother, but she hasn't made the best version yet, so we haven't sold it. Once we've perfected it, we'll sell it together with the noodles."

The woman blushed slightly as she accepted the dried meat, saying, "Thank you, little fairy."

Qin Jin'an smiled, then exclaimed, "Sister, you have the 299th lucky number! I can give you a free divination. Is there anything you want to ask?"

The woman paused for a moment, then her face lit up with joy, but she quickly frowned again and said, "I've lost something. Is there any way I can find it back?"

In front of everyone, she was too embarrassed to say that she suspected her friend had stolen it. Everyone said that the little fairy was very accurate and that she was a lucky number, which happened to be what she wanted to know most.

Qin Jin'an looked at her and quickly understood her troubles.

Qin Jin'an said, "You can still find it. Your suspicion is correct. It was taken by someone else. You can go to her room and find it in the box. If you don't look for it now, you will find it by chance in a few years. But in the meantime, you will be even more heartbroken. I don't think you two are suitable to be friends."

The woman, who had been hesitant, made up her mind after hearing what Qin Jin'an said.

She treated him like a close friend, and she was sincere about it, but he stole her things. It's better to lose a close friend like that.

If she hadn't known, she was afraid that telling her friend would hurt her feelings and pride; but after finding out, she was the one who was even more upset.

"Thank you, little fairy, I know what to do now."

The woman thanked Qin and left with the noodles that Qin had weighed out.

After the noodle fish sold out, Madam Qin said to Qin Jin'an and Qin Tianhai, "Dad, my dear, I'm going to the clinic. You wait for me here."

Qin Tianhai nodded: "Go ahead."

Qin Jin'an looked at Qin Shi and nodded obediently.

Qin smiled slightly and turned to leave.

The medicine for the child was bought from Hechuntang, the largest medical clinic in Liuzhou. I informed them a few days in advance, and they made the medicine. I could pick it up a few days later, which was perfect timing.

The young apprentice of Hechuntang frowned upon seeing Madam Qin: "Madam Qin, you've arrived..."

Madam Qin nodded. This young apprentice still remembered her. The last time she came to get medicine, she was still the Lady of Anping Marquis, but now she was just an ordinary woman named Madam Qin.

Madam Qin took out a silver note and said softly, "Here, I'm here to order the medicine, just like before. How many days do you think I'll come to pick it up?"

The apprentice didn't immediately take the money. Instead, he led Madam Qin to the back and sighed, "Madam Qin, we can't make this medicine anymore. To be honest, Lord Su has given the order that if we make medicine for you, our clinic will have to close down..."

"What?"

Qin felt as if struck by lightning; her heart skipped a beat.

The apprentice sighed, "Madam Qin, we don't know about the grudges between you noble people, but our clinic is innocent. Please understand."

"As you know, Lord Su is currently enjoying great influence, and even the Prefect has to give him some face. Why don't you, Madam, soften your stance with the Lord Su so that your daughter can continue taking her medicine sooner?"

The apprentice felt sorry for Qin Shi seeing how devastated she was, but there was nothing he could do.

How can ordinary people fight against officials?

These were orders from above, and they were simply following orders.

After regaining her senses, Qin replied calmly, "Okay, I understand."

She walked out of the clinic indifferently, and her young apprentice watched her leave, sighed, and shook his head.

Su Chang'an's decision to divorce his wife and abandon his daughter, turning it into a peaceful separation, has left many sighing. But in the end, they can only shake their heads and say that things are different now. No matter how much the Qin family tries to seek justice for their daughter, it cannot change the fact that Qin was abandoned with her daughter.

The family is in turmoil, and the Su family wants to take the child back again, making her a scapegoat. Qin Shi still has no choice.

Qin went to other clinics, and 'Hechuntang' was the best at making medicines, so she chose it first. But now that the Su family had given the order, Qin had no choice but to try other clinics.

Without exception, all the medical clinics that could produce medicine refused.

She bluntly stated that she had offended someone.

Qin was filled with anger and hatred. The Su family was trying to force her to send her daughter back. Even though she had changed the child's name, they still wouldn't let her go.

Qin walked along, her mind in turmoil, when a horse blocked her path.

A large chestnut horse. When Qin looked up, she saw Su Chang'an looking down at her. As soon as she went to the clinic to buy medicine, the clinic staff notified the Su family.

Su Chang'an rushed over to see what choice the Qin family would make.

Seeing Qin's disheveled appearance, Su Chang'an looked at her with contempt: "Qin, stop struggling in vain. Send the child back. Her name is not Qin Jin'an. Her name should be Su Dai."

Even if the child's name is changed, so what? As long as she returns to the Su family, she can only be Su Dai.

"Lord Su, you flatter me. I will not send the child back. Qin Jin'an is my child, and he will be for life. Lord Su, give up on that idea. My child will never shield anyone from disaster."

Qin took a deep breath and said coldly, her heart aching as she recalled the past.

This family has such a cold heart.

Liuzhou City is Su Chang'an's domain, but what about the other places?

He can't possibly control other cities, can he? No matter how powerful he is, he can't control everything.

Qin glanced at Su Chang'an, sneered, and said, "I heard you're going to the capital to marry a beautiful wife. Do you think someone as heartless and ungrateful as you can gain anyone's trust? Do you think someone's pampered daughter will believe that you will remain faithful even when you are rich and powerful? You chose a rich young lady and abandoned me, the daughter of a scholar. Who knows if you will abandon a noble lady in the capital for someone of even higher status in the future?"

"You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

A surge of anger rose in Su Chang'an's heart. If it weren't for his gentlemanly conduct and refusal to hit women, Qin Shi's death a hundred times wouldn't be enough to quell his hatred.

"No need for Lord Su to worry about it."

After saying this coldly, Qin turned and left.

Su Chang'an narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

The Qin family started a business, Su Dai, who changed his name, could tell fortunes, and Qin Tianhai, who was already old, wanted to study for the imperial examinations. All of this made him uneasy. He was just waiting for the Qin family to give in on their own, and then he would let the Qin family go for the sake of the children.

But now, he doesn't want to let them go anymore; they have no chance left.

Su Chang'an turned the rope and rode away.

On the way back, Qin was absent-minded, thinking about Su Chang'an's ruthlessness. She was preoccupied, but when she thought of her child and parents, she composed herself and smiled as she greeted them. She said with a smile, "Dad, my sweet baby, let's go home."
