The old doctor immediately beckoned to an apprentice and had him take Qin Run to the backyard.
After writing out prescriptions for several patients, he took his medical kit and went to the backyard.
Qin Run's face had turned blue from the pain.
My body was so dirty that I couldn't sit on it.
Seeing that there was no one else around, he immediately took out a silver note from his pocket and threw it over.
"Go buy me some clean clothes and prepare a bathtub."

The apprentice exclaimed in surprise, "How dare you! Doesn't that noble person care about his own child?"
While inspecting the drying herbs, the old doctor said, "Some people know, and some don't know that this girl is pregnant. Over the years, all sorts of noblemen have come to Chunxiang Pavilion, even the current emperor has come for entertainment. It's just a fleeting affair, who would care?"
