Chapter 51 Catching a Thief
The deep emotions in the man's eyes made her a little confused.
Fortunately, Qin Linche quickly looked away and stood up. "I'll be leaving soon. Since Huichuntang has been handed over to you, you can take over tomorrow. But I have to tell you in advance that Wei Xun will not give up his plan to take over Huichuntang so easily. You should be careful."
Although the Sang family's business involves many areas, Mr. Sang has never planned to open a clinic. Firstly, the Sang family is not very proficient in this area. Secondly, there are already many well-known clinics in Beijing. If they rashly open one, they will be in open opposition to the other clinics.
It is inevitable to attract enemies.
After all, with Mr. Sang's reputation, once this clinic opens, not only people in the capital, but also people from outside will probably come to him for medical treatment.
For no other reason than that these people felt that Mr. Sang was kind-hearted and would never cheat the poor out of their hard-earned money.
But Wei Xun is different. If Huichun Hall falls into his hands, there is no guarantee what he will transform it into.
But then again, in his previous life, Qin Linche didn't seem to have handed Huichun Hall over to Wei Xun.
Could it be because she didn’t treat Wei Xun’s injuries in his previous life?
Lu Wanning shook her head and put the matter behind her. It was not a big deal.
After coming down from the second floor, Lu Wanning repeated what Qin Linche had just said to Manager Wu.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Wu looked dejected, Lu Wanning didn't rush him to answer. She just smiled and said, "You've been here at Huichuntang for so long. You know this place much better than I do. If you're willing to stay and continue working here, I will definitely treat you well."
"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. I'll come back the day after tomorrow and you can give me the answer then."
She was about to take Hu Yan away, but just as she was about to take a step, Shopkeeper Hu spoke hesitantly, "But those people outside are really making a big fuss. And that Wei Xun, he's here today and he's sure to come again in the future. Does Doctor Lu really have a way to solve this problem?"
"nature."
Seeing her determination, Shopkeeper Wu gritted his teeth and said, "I've been at Huichuntang since I was young. It means so much to me, and I don't want to see it fall into decline. If Doctor Lu truly has a way to resolve Huichuntang's current predicament, and doesn't mind my old age getting in the way, I'd be happy to stay."
Lu Wanning was overjoyed and patted Shopkeeper Wu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Huichuntang means a lot to me too."
She grabbed some medicine and led Hu Yan out. On the way, she saw Hu Yan's strange expression and asked curiously, "What's with that expression?"
Hu Yan rubbed her face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay," Lu Wanning retracted her gaze, "I just felt like you saw something from your expression..."
My adultery is average.
She swallowed the last few words back. Lu Wanning stopped abruptly and stared at Hu Yan with narrowed eyes.
She kept her cold and hard face until it could no longer be maintained and anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Is there something on this servant's face?"
Lu Wanning continued to squint her eyes, didn't answer her, and asked instead: "Will you tell your prince everything I said to Boss Qin today?"
Hu Yan nodded silently, "If the prince asks."
"Did he ask that question often before?"
"No," Hu Yan said, "The prince usually only asks me where the princess has been and who she has met. He doesn't ask for details, and he only asks when she seems unhappy or very happy."
Lu Wanning felt a little relieved, but she felt that Hu Yan was a bit stubborn. Just in case, she explained, "I've known Boss Qin for a long time. He's my partner. Please don't exaggerate anything."
Hu Yan: "Of course I wouldn't, but I feel that the way Boss Qin looks at the Crown Prince's Consort is not right."
"Really?" Lu Wanning felt relieved. How others looked at her had nothing to do with her.
During these days, she has gained some superficial understanding of Qi Muchao.
Apart from anything else, his possessiveness is definitely very strong. Although he may not have any feelings for Lu Wanning, they are married after all. If this man comes back to cheat and accuses her of being fickle, where can she go to explain?
It's only about three years, as long as he doesn't catch us.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
The sound of galloping horses attracted the attention of the master and servant. Hu Yan reacted first and quickly pulled her back to hide.
Several yamen runners in tight clothes galloped past on horseback.
The people on the street were frightened and scattered, and the sound of horse hooves raised a cloud of smoke.
As the people walked away, the frightened vendors and people began to curse in low voices.
"Is he in a hurry to kill or set fire? I finally got some customers and I scared them all away."
"Who isn't? These days, the people in the government offices are so unreasonable when handling cases that ordinary people like us have to stay away from them. If we provoke them, we might be arrested too."
"You arrested him even though he didn't commit any crime?"
"Do you know who is the governor of that yamen now?"
"That's Minister Zhen's brother-in-law."
Lu Wanning lowered her eyes and thought for a while. She had no impression of this Minister Zhen's brother-in-law at all.
But I have heard a little about Minister Zhen.
It is said that Minister Zhen and his wife were childhood sweethearts. After they got married, his wife suffered heavy bleeding when giving birth to a daughter and almost died of dystocia. After she was rescued, Minister Zhen personally went to the Imperial Hospital to prescribe medicine to prevent himself from having children.
This not only saved him from his family from forcing him to take a concubine to continue the family line, but also saved his future wife from the pain of childbirth.
Perhaps it was because her parents had never had a quarrel with anyone in their life, so their daughter had only one request for her marriage, which was that he could only marry her and not take a concubine.
To be like her parents.
Later, their daughter married the eldest son of the Censor's family, and the couple lived in harmony.
Minister Zhen seems to be a good person, but his brother-in-law does not sound like a good person in the eyes of the people.
"Then what are these people doing running so fast? Are they trying to catch thieves?"
"Catch a thief?" Someone sneered, his tone filled with sarcasm and disdain. "When did these people ever think about catching a thief? They're going to catch the eldest daughter of the Sang family."
Lu Wanning suddenly withdrew her thoughts and her eyes instantly fell in the direction of the speaker.
He took a few steps forward and asked hurriedly, "Sang Mingyue?"
Almost everyone in the capital knew the Sang family, so this person had no doubt that Lu Wanning also knew Sang Mingyue.
He nodded. Judging from his expression, he must be extremely angry about the misfortune that befell the Sang family.
