They were worried about the battle on the general's side and did not want to linger.
Little did they know, Qiu Yan had no intention of letting the two of them stay.
Although Prefect Xie was not entirely satisfied with Qiu Yan's words, at least they reassured him.
His son's life was saved at least.
He laughed heartily, "Very well, very well. If you need any help in the future, Dr. Qiu, please don't hesitate to ask."
Then, he instructed the attendants behind him,
"Have the kitchen prepare some food; I want to treat Dr. Qiu and her friends to a good meal."
The attendant acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Qiu Yan smiled faintly: "My lord, you can just call me Miss Qiu."
The way Prefect Xie kept referring to Doctor Qiu made her feel awkward.
The condition is not yet stable, and there is a risk of infection at any time for Mr. Xie's wound. Therefore, Qiu Yan is very worried.
Prefect Xie kept his promise and paid Qiu Yan nine hundred taels of silver.
Immediately afterwards, he took Qiu Yan to the Shuangxi Restaurant.
Behind them, Qin Susu and Ling Qi and Ling Ba chatted about staying for a few days.
Inside the restaurant, the waiter's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw Qiu Yan and her three companions arrive with Prefect Xie.
In the past two days, whenever local merchants or traveling travelers couldn't resist the cheap prices and went to the prefectural government or Xie's residence to inquire about the restaurant's prices, it was always the officials of Xie's residence who made the introductions on their behalf; Prefect Xie never received customers.
The reason those merchants didn't buy it was, of course, because of the rumors about the Shuangxi Building being haunted.
They asked about the price, and of course, they also inquired about the details.
"Miss Qiu, have you been to Shuangxi Tower before?" Because Young Master Xie's condition had improved, Prefect Xie walked with a brisk pace and was full of energy.
"I was here yesterday," Qiu Yan replied truthfully.
On the second floor, the innkeeper beckoned to the waiter, "That young lady has been here before?"
Waiter: "Yes, she's been here before. She was the girl who wanted to buy the restaurant."
Shopkeeper...
"How about it? Impressive, isn't it?" Prefect Xie pointed to the various furnishings in Shuangxi Tower, thinking to himself that Physician Qiu would definitely be satisfied with the Shuangxi Tower he had given her.
"Hmm, not bad," Qiu Yan said honestly.
Prefect Xie wanted to transfer Shuangxi Restaurant to Qiu Yan's name immediately, but Qiu Yan said that she should wait a few days until Young Master Xie had fully recovered before signing the documents.
Her words made Prefect Xie inexplicably uneasy.
"Dr. Qiu, now that you are the owner of Shuangxi Restaurant, you can take on the business while practicing medicine."
Qiu Yan smiled calmly. In her view, practicing medicine and doing business were not as important as the border war.
"From now on, you will stay in Qin County. If you are not used to living in my residence, you can buy a small courtyard house nearby. I can help you with the courtyard house," Prefect Xie said sincerely.
If we could make this a perfect match, wouldn't that be wonderful?
As soon as Qin Susu and Ling Qi and Ling Ba arrived, they sat down by the window.
They couldn't get a word in edgewise about business matters; at this moment, they simply observed the table and chairs, and Qiu Yan's every word.
Buy a small courtyard? Qin Susu sighed: "Being rich means you can do whatever you want. You can have a home anywhere."
Qiu Yan was slightly taken aback. "I will consider the matter of the courtyard. However, I still have things to do outside, and I will leave once your son has recovered."
She was still preoccupied with one thing: the fear that Young Master Xie's wound would get infected.
One wrong move and he could lose his life.
