Chapter 273 The Ye Family’s Gratitude



Xia Jinqing's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. He was not the kind of person who spoke frivolously. He was worried that Ye Qiao would get angry after misunderstanding him, so he quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant... do you still want me to continue learning from you?"

Ye Qiao cleared his throat and said, "I am not a person who goes back on his word."

Xia Jinqing understood what she meant and immediately smiled foolishly, "That's good, I was really worried that you wouldn't let me go to the clinic anymore."

Ye Qiao glared at him. How could he be so stupid but also so upright?

After that, Wu Qian went to see her several more times, on the way to the clinic or at her home.

But Ye Qiao's attitude has been the same from beginning to end, and there is no way she can change her mind.

Ye Qiao hasn't fallen to the point of marrying such a disgusting man.

Her parents seemed to have thought about it before, and if the two of them still had feelings for each other, their family wouldn't mind.

But after Ye Qiao told her parents what Wu Qian had done, her parents were also extremely disappointed.

After all, at first they just thought that it was their daughter's stubbornness that caused the two young people to miss out, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Dad, don't worry about me. There are many good men. I will never marry into the Wu family. It's not just because he divorced his wife. There are problems with him. He agreed to let me open a clinic just because his reputation has been damaged and no one wants to marry him. His father is cunning and is playing the emotional card with you."

Ye Qiao was extremely calm. "You know, he was the one who strongly opposed it at the time. He clearly felt that the Su family was of higher status than ours, so he deliberately made trouble. He knew that I would not give in, so he forced you to cancel the engagement."

Ye Xiu nodded, "Dad is just hoping for the best for you. He thinks that the Wu family knows you well and that since you are with Dad, they will at least consider Dad's face and not embarrass you. Don't you know your temper?"

The Ye family not only has a daughter like Ye Qiao, but also a son. However, the Ye family is also very good to their daughter.

"What's wrong with my temper? My future in-laws will naturally accept what I do."

"It's difficult." Mrs. Ye said.

Ye Qiao subconsciously thought of the Xia family. Although she had never seen the fourth sister-in-law that Xia Jinqing mentioned, she was not looked down upon by others even though she married into the Xia family as a widow. Everyone also supported her when she showed up in public. This was the kind of family she was looking for.

Of course, she didn't mean to marry Xia Jinqing.

"How can it be difficult? Dad, do you know the Xia family?" Ye Qiao couldn't help but say.

"Xia family? But the Xia family of the princess?"

"Yes, all the women of the Xia family are working outside. The princess used to run her own business. The fourth daughter-in-law of the Xia family is also a businessman. She has opened many shops outside. Not only do people not object, they support it."

"You said it was a marriage."

"No, the girl from the Xia family is also outside."

"Qiao'er, how do you know so much?" Mrs. Ye asked.

Ye Qiao sighed softly, "Could it be that you two elders don't know that the fifth young master of the Xia family is in my clinic? Otherwise, why do you think Su Tao would be so blind as to offend the young county lady?"

Ye Qiao told his parents the whole story, and they were dumbfounded.

“But a family like the Xia family is hard to find even with a lantern,” Ye Xiu said.

Madam Ye winked at him. Women are more sensitive in such matters. "Why is it so difficult to find? Didn't Qiao'er say that the Fifth Young Master is in her clinic and even stood up for her? Qiao'er, you and the Fifth Young Master..."

"No, no, he is learning medicine from me. He is my apprentice. Don't talk nonsense. I tell you all this just to tell you that there are many families in the world that can accommodate me. If I can't find one, then I will be gone for the rest of my life."

"Don't worry, I won't hold my brother back. I'll move out when the time comes. I can make money on my own anyway."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Ye felt sorry for her daughter and blamed her for talking nonsense.

Ye Qiao's younger brother Ye Qun came in at this time. Although he was still young, he had the temperament of an old scholar. He said with a stern face, "That's right, sister, what are you talking about? Why are you delaying me? If you really don't get married for the rest of your life, then my children will take care of you in your old age."

Ye Qiao rolled his eyes, "Nothing has happened yet, and you're already thinking about sending me away."

Ye Qun: “…”

Ye Qiao smiled and patted his head. "I won't tease you anymore. I know you are doing this for my sister's good. Remember not to be narrow-minded in the future. Be a real man and be open-minded. Don't be petty. Only in this way can girls like you."

"Sister, do you really know the young county lady?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Ye Qun was shy, "Can you take me to see him?"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Qun blushed, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to meet her and see what kind of person she is. She is so young, but she can actually cure the Queen Mother's illness. I'm curious."

"She is smart, cute, lively and clever, and has a strong sense of justice."

"Qiao'er, if you hadn't told me, your father and I wouldn't have known. The young county lady and the fifth son of the Xia family helped you with this matter, and they also suffered for you. We should thank them."

"I already thanked you."

"How can that be? If the adults don't show up, they might think we are just being perfunctory. Invite them to come to our house and I will cook for you myself."

Ye Qiao felt that it was not necessary, but he couldn't persuade his mother, so he agreed.

Ye Qun was also very happy, as she could meet the legendary little princess.

They were not qualified to attend the previous palace banquets and banquets at some ministers' homes.

Originally, the imperial physician did not have much contact with those families.

Ye Qiao was too lazy to deal with those things. If he had that time, he might as well treat a few more people and let them suffer less.

Ye Qiao felt clear-headed and told Xia Jinqing about it the next day.

Xia Jinqing was a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry to bother you, Madam Ye."

"It's not a problem. My mother is a very good Jiangnan cuisine cook. It's very delicious. You are in for a treat."

Xia Jinqing nodded repeatedly, feeling happy yet a little nervous.

"By the way, can the county lady go?"

"Zhiliao... I have no say on this. Don't underestimate her because she is so young. She is very busy."

"She is so cute, I'm sure the princess will be reluctant to let her go." Ye Qiao could understand, after all, it was a reunion after a long separation.

"She has been helping Jinxiu to open a shop these days. Jinxiu is my little sister."

Ye Qiao smiled and said, "You told me, but you forgot."

She now understood the situation of the Xia family, and didn't know why he told her all this, but she didn't feel annoyed after listening to it.

"Let me ask her later. She likes lively occasions, so I'm sure she will agree." Xia Jinqing said.
