After saying this, Lin Miaoxin stood up and stood directly in front of Madam Xin before the ladies could react.
"Didn't you reject my invitation before? Why are you still coming all the way here now?"
As she spoke, she looked at Song Ruoan beside her, her eyes filled with pride: "In the past, Minister Xin wronged Young Master He. It was I who mediated and persuaded the divine physician to agree to treat your illness."
"But you don't know what's good for you, you go back on your word, and now you've rushed over here, do you think the whole world should respect you?"
Lady Xin was petite and pale, and despite the late autumn season, she was still wearing a cloak. Her delicate features were well-maintained, and her frail appearance made her even more charming, a true sickly beauty.
Hearing Lin Miaoxin's words, she frowned slightly and said softly, "Could you please move aside?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxin became even angrier. She sneered, "I invited this miracle doctor! He came because of my connections!"
"You humiliated me before, so at least you should be polite to me now, right?"
Seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder, as if they were about to start arguing, the other ladies also hurriedly got up and tried to calm them down.
“Madam Xin, you were wrong about what happened before. You know Miaoxin’s temper; a few kind words will make it all go away.”
The others nodded: "Yes, this miracle doctor is extraordinary. He will definitely be able to cure your illness. You should apologize to the miracle doctor and Miaoxin!"
"As Lord He's status rises in the future, if you still wish to seek treatment from the Divine Physician Ruo'an, I'm afraid you won't be able to!"
Song Ruoan stood quietly to the side, her chin slightly raised, waiting expectantly for Madam Xin to apologize to her.
Lady Kexin's pale face showed a hint of impatience. She said indifferently, "I came to Baifanglou not to see you, much less to see this so-called miracle doctor."
"You're all making a ruckus and blocking my way. Isn't that absurd?"
"Please apologize to me, Miss Lin."
Everyone was stunned by Madam Xin's words, and Lin Miaoxin stared wide-eyed in disbelief:
"What are you being stubborn about? Is there any better doctor in the world than Ruo'an? Impossible!"
The other ladies also advised, "Yongshu, don't torture yourself! This is your only chance! Quickly apologize!"
Madam Xin spoke directly: "That miracle doctor cured Su Mingli, so I am more willing to believe her."
"If Miss Lin has misunderstood me and is unwilling to apologize, then please make way."
Everyone stared at Madam Xin's face in disbelief. Madam Xin walked around them and continued forward, reaching a higher, lacquered, gilded pavilion.
The pavilion there is located at the highest point of the entire Baifanglou, in a quiet and secluded environment. As the saying goes, "climbing high and looking far," it is the most prestigious place in Baifanglou.
The entire pavilion is made of glazed tiles, and the top is inlaid with South Sea pearls, coral, and agate, which is a symbol of nobility.
The black and gold curtains surrounding the room obscured the view of who was inside, adding to the air of mystery.
Madam Sun stared at the pavilion and covered her mouth: "Isn't this where the Lady stayed when she came to visit a few days ago? Madam Xin is actually going there."
Miss Zhou looked at the magnificent decorations above with envy: "This is the only glazed pavilion in Baifanglou. This pavilion symbolizes status. Even if you have money, you can't buy it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxin stared intently at Madam Xin's back as she watched her enter the pavilion without any hindrance, feeling utterly humiliated.
"Even my father and mother couldn't get an invitation to such a magnificent pavilion, so it's impossible for that Minister Xin to do it!"
Song Ruoan frowned, feeling a little displeased: "If it wasn't Madam Xin who booked the table, then it could only have been booked by that divine physician."
Lin Miaoxin gritted her teeth: "I've never heard of any miracle doctor, let alone someone of such high status, who could reserve such an elegant pavilion. It must be that Madam Xin putting on an act, or she's been deceived!"
Song Ruoan nodded: "My husband said that Su Mingli will die soon, so the miracle doctor must be a fake."
"Shall we go take a look together?"
Upon hearing this, everyone became very curious about what was going on and said they wanted to go and see.
The group followed Madam Xin's path upwards, and the scenery became more and more unique as they went higher, revealing vast fields of flowers.
The trees are lush and green, with countless pink flowers adorning the branches, making the scenery ten times more beautiful than the pavilion below.
Lin Miaoxin had been frail and sickly since childhood, and lived a secluded life in her mansion. It was rare for her to see such a scene, and her eyes were filled with wonder. She even slowed down her pace considerably.
Sensing Lin Miaoxin's thoughts, Song Ruoan felt anxious but dared not offend her, so she simply picked a flower branch from the roadside and stuffed it into Lin Miaoxin's hand.
"The scenery is beautiful, but we should appreciate it later. Madam Xin's illness is the most important thing right now."
After all, Madam Xin was terminally ill, and she was a veritable god of wealth!
Lin Miaoxin looked at the flowers in her hand with joy. She didn't know the name of the flowers, but she thought they were beautiful.
Feeling Song Ruoan holding her hand, she followed closely in Song Ruoan's footsteps, and the group arrived at the pavilion at the very top.
They were about to go in when they were stopped by a waiter who said curtly, "Sorry, you have no reservations, so you are not allowed in."
No one in the world had ever stopped her like this before. Lin Miaoxin gritted her teeth, feeling her face burning.
She spoke without hesitation: "I know the lady who went in just now. I was afraid she would be deceived by a quack doctor, so I rushed over to stop her."
"If something were to happen to that lady, and her husband were an official in the court, could you bear that responsibility?"
Her voice was strong and clear. Before the servant could react, Lin Miaoxin gave an order, instructing her two maids to stop him, while she rushed inside.
Seeing this, Song Ruoan and the other ladies hurriedly followed Lin Miaoxin and rushed into the pavilion.
"Let me see what kind of quack doctor dares to swindle and deceive officials' wives!"
As soon as Lin Miaoxin finished speaking, a gust of autumn wind suddenly rose, causing the magnificent black and gold curtains on the three sides of the pavilion to flutter in the wind.
The bright sunlight streamed in at that moment, and the glazed pavilion, refracted by the sunlight, shimmered and shone with unparalleled extravagance.
In the very center of the pavilion, only two people were sitting.
One of them was Lady Xin.
The other woman, dressed in a black and gold embroidered robe and a crescent-shaped silk skirt, with delicate features, arched eyebrows, and smiling peach-blossom cheeks, looked like a fairy princess under the colorful light.
The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone stared blankly at the woman in the pavilion.
The crowd murmured to themselves, "Who is this doctor? He's so handsome. I've never heard of him before..."
Only Song Ruoan stared at the familiar face in the pavilion and screamed in shock, almost losing her mind.
"elder sister!"
"How did you end up here?!"
