Ji'an District, He Mansion.
A servant pushed open the door, cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Minglang and Su Yulan who were standing outside, and handed back the visiting card.
"My master said that he is not receiving guests today. Please go back."
Qin Minglang asked anxiously, "Did you say you were from the Su family?"
The servant nodded.
"I already said that."
He then turned around, hurriedly closed the door, and went back home.
Su Yulan's expression was rather unpleasant.
“This He Nian is really ungrateful. If it weren’t for Mother saying that he might be appointed as the supervisor of the patrol battalion and would still be of some use, his dilapidated family would not have been worthy of us coming here to befriend him.”
The patrol battalion supervisor and the patrol battalion commander jointly manage the patrol battalion, one in charge of military and political affairs and the other in charge of internal affairs. If that matter succeeds, it will be necessary to subdue them in the future.
As he was pondering a solution, a carriage stopped in front of them.
Dr. Zhong got out of the car first, went up the steps, and knocked on the door.
The servant who had just responded to them came out quickly, his attitude changing abruptly.
"Dr. Zhong, you've arrived. The master is waiting for you."
Su Yulan was overjoyed and immediately went forward to greet them.
"It's Dr. Zhong! What a coincidence! My mother mentioned you to me just a few days ago."
Dr. Zhong frowned and looked at the two of them.
Ever since he was summoned to examine Qin Run in the middle of the night, he had no good feelings towards either of them.
The servant hesitated for a moment, then, fearing he might delay important matters, quickly bowed and asked, "Doctor Zhong, do you know these two distinguished guests?"
Before Doctor Zhong could answer, Qin Minglang immediately said, "I know him. He and my mother-in-law are old acquaintances, and we are quite familiar with each other. Since we are all here to see Lord He, why don't we go into the mansion together?"
The servant hesitated, but Doctor Zhong looked coldly at Su Yulan.
“Princess Yulan, I made it clear that day that the jade pendant has been returned and my feud with the Su family is over. If you two wish to enter the He residence, please do not use my name.”
After he finished speaking, he left the two of them behind, walked quickly to the front of the carriage, and personally held the stirrups.
"Madam Jiang, you can get off the carriage now."
The curtain was lifted by a delicate hand.
Qin Minglang and Su Yulan stared in astonishment as Jiang Qingwan stepped down from the carriage. Dressed in a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), she was as beautiful as a fairy, making Qin Minglang's heart race and causing him to become somewhat infatuated.
Su Yulan stomped on his shoe in anger, shouting, "You shameless scoundrel, parading around like this without a shred of decency! Jiang Qingwan, you have a really thick skin!"
Dr. Zhong was furious and rebuked him.
"You are a county princess, raised with the education of the Su family, how can you be so rude and vulgar? You have truly disgraced the old prince."
Su Yulan's face turned red from the rebuke, and he pointed at Su Yulan and started cursing at Dr. Zhong.
"You call yourself a divine physician of the capital, saving lives and helping the people, yet you've actually turned to prostitution, taking women like this in and out of the residences of court officials. How are you any different from a brothel madam?"
When had Dr. Zhong ever suffered such humiliation? After inserting a silver needle, Su Yulan suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain, and a foul odor was about to burst out of her chest.
"What...what did you do to me?"
"Your breath stinks, let me cure it for you." Doctor Zhong snorted and led Jiang Qingwan toward the gate of the mansion.
Su Yulan clutched her stomach, not daring to move an inch.
"Damn it, if you dare to hurt me, I'll smash up your pharmacy."
Dr. Zhong was not afraid at all.
"Go ask your mother before you smash it, and see if she dares to!"
"puff!"
A loud fart was followed by a stench.
The stench almost made Qin Minglang, who was supporting her, vomit, and even the coachman and Chunmei covered their noses.
Jiang Qingwan stood at the entrance of the He residence, suppressing a laugh as she gave a reminder.
"Go find a latrine quickly. It's really unbecoming for a county princess to relieve herself in the street."
After saying that, he stepped inside.
Looking at her slender back and composed demeanor, and then at Su Yulan beside him, who was clutching her stomach with one hand and her back with the other, Qin Minglang felt even more regretful for having impulsively kicked Jiang Qingwan out that day.
"puff!"
Another loud fart rang out, and Su Yulan could no longer hold it in. Her face flushed red, and a warm flow gushed out between her legs.
She reached out her hand to Qin Minglang, trembling.
"Help me into the car."
Qin Minglang was still reminiscing about his sweet past with Jiang Qingwan when he turned to look at her, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes. He steeled himself and carried her into the car.
Chunmei quickly instructed the driver to drive faster.
As soon as she entered the carriage, Su Yulan could no longer hold back.
Grabbing Qin Minglang's arm, she cursed, "Damn Jiang Qingwan, I must kill her."
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The stench was so unbearable that Qin Minglang made an excuse to get off the bus halfway through the journey.
...
Inside the He residence, He Nian, with a cold and aloof expression, looked at Jiang Qingwan, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Dr. Zhong, this...this is the helper you invited?"
Dr. Zhong nodded.
"Lord He, appearances can be deceiving. Please be careful with your words."
He could tell that Jiang Qingwan didn't want to meddle in other people's business; she was only willing to come because of his favor.
He had just gotten into some unpleasantness outside, and he was really afraid that He Nian might impulsively drive her away.
He Nian was well aware of Doctor Zhong's abilities, and upon hearing this, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Jiang Qingwan.
"Please come with me."
The sound of a woman sobbing could be heard coming from the east bedroom.
Hearing the door open, he immediately came to greet her, his eyes swollen.
"Master, Dong'er... Dong'er, he..."
The haggard lady clutched her chest, unable to speak, and upon seeing Doctor Zhong, she knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Please save Dong'er. I beg you, for the sake of your years of friendship with the master."
Dr. Zhong quickly reached out to help her up, and was about to introduce Jiang Qingwan.
Jiang Qingwan had already walked to the bedside.
