Chapter 383 This is going to cause trouble!
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival, Li San Niang was still on duty at the clinic according to her schedule.
With Li San Niang were Tang Mingyue and the young apprentice Qi Li.
As for Dr. Li, Dr. Cui, and even Manager Gao, none of them were in the clinic; they had all gone home for the holidays.
However, tomorrow, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li San Niang will be able to take a holiday.
"The dates are perfect. I've always wanted to take Dewdrop to see the lanterns."
I haven't been out for years. There's no curfew tomorrow, so if we can, we can go to Anhua Gate to see the lantern wheel.
As Li San Niang talked with Qiu Xiang, she was also thinking about how to arrange things for tomorrow.
As they were talking, a man and a woman walked into the clinic.
The man was very tall, about the same height and build as Brother Li, probably over six feet tall (over 180cm). What was most striking about him was that he was wearing a bright red robe.
This is quite rare, as you know, this red dress is very selective in terms of who can wear it; it doesn't look good on just anyone.
However, the man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, fair skin, and a tall stature, so he could actually carry off the clothes well.
Compared to the man, the woman beside him seemed rather unremarkable; she was merely wearing a blue padded jacket and a matching skirt, with two silver hairpins in her hair.
The two people took their numbers and headed towards Li San Niang's consultation table. Upon hearing the footsteps, Li San Niang stopped talking to Qiu Xiang.
The man in the red robe approached Li San Niang's consultation table and scrutinized her with an aggressive gaze.
That look made Qiu Xiang, who was behind Li San Niang, stand up and come forward.
Li San Niang grabbed Qiu Xiang, shook her head at Qiu Xiang, and then turned to the man in red robes and the woman in green with a smile, "Who are you two here to treat us? Please sit down."
"So this is what the famous female physician in Chang'an looks like."
Li San Niang naturally felt very uncomfortable under this person's gaze, but as a doctor on duty, she had to treat everyone, no matter who came.
Besides, this man's only problem was that he had an improper gaze and spoke in a sarcastic tone; it wasn't anything serious.
"You flatter me, I only have a little reputation."
What are you doing here?
Li San Niang looked at the man and woman and asked them in confusion.
"This is my wife. She is feeling a little unwell. I would like to trouble Dr. Li to take a look at her."
Upon hearing this, Li San Niang looked at the woman in green and saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed and she was acting shy. She thought to herself, "This must be a newlywed couple."
After receiving the number, Li Sanniang gestured for the two women to sit down for the consultation. After a thorough examination, Li Sanniang then gestured for the woman in green to extend her hand.
It's nothing serious, just a common inflammation that women often experience.
Li Sanniang picked up her pen and wrote out a prescription. She then instructed the young woman, "This illness is quite common. You often suffer from this kind of ailment, so there's no need to worry."
As long as you take the medicine as prescribed and pay attention to your daily life, you should see some relief in less than half a month.
Li San Niang gave a few more instructions and then handed over the prescription so that the two of them could get the medicine.
Before she could finish speaking, the man in the red robe approached the consultation table, leaned closer to Li San Niang, and asked in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, "Dr. Li, we've been married for some time now, but we still don't have any children. When do you think we can have some?"
Li San Niang was stunned for a moment. From what the two had just said, they had only been married for three months. How could the child have gotten pregnant so quickly?
"Don't worry, as long as you two are healthy, there should be good news within the year."
You've only been married for three months, why are you in such a hurry?
The man in the red robe nodded in agreement, and then said, "Then I'll listen to Doctor Li. I prefer a sweet young woman, not a young man."
Li San Niang was somewhat surprised. At this time of year, who wouldn't want a son?
In modern society, there are just too many people who want sons and not daughters.
"Your idea is quite unusual. Most people only think about wanting a caring daughter-in-law after they have a son."
"Does Dr. Li have children?"
Li San Niang felt something was amiss, but still replied, "I do have a young maid in my family, and I also feel that a maid is more considerate."
However, as long as the child is one's own, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl; they're all the same.
After exchanging a few more words about children, Li San Niang handed over the prescription and saw the two of them out.
After the two people left, Li San Niang's uneasy feeling returned.
Li San Niang quickly whispered in Qiu Xiang's ear, "Something's not right between these two!"
There are men who would accompany their wives to the doctor, but if they are so concerned about their wives, why is there such a big difference in the material of their clothes?
I don't know much about these fabrics, but I can tell that the young man's bright red robe is made of brocade!
The woman was only dressed in slightly better quality coarse cloth.
Qiu Xiang frowned. Just now, he felt that the young man's gaze was looking at Li San Niang, which was very strange.
"Moreover, when I took the pulse of that woman just now, I saw that she had calluses on her hands, but I didn't think anything was wrong at the time."
After all, it's common for women who work all year round to have calluses on their hands.
But now that I think about it, those were calluses on the tiger's mouth!
It must have been left behind by someone who had been wielding weapons for many years!
These two are not right!
I guess it must be those people from the Temple Gate.
In the past six months, the only people I've offended are the Temple Gate. They wish I were dead already, since tomorrow is the Lantern Festival!
I figured they were definitely going to do something like they did during the Emperor's birthday celebration, and cause trouble during the Lantern Festival too!
The more Li San Niang talked, the uglier Qiu Xiang's expression became. When she heard that it was the Holy Temple Gate, Qiu Xiang's face immediately fell.
"Please wait a moment, Miss, I'll go and deliver the message to the master right away."
After saying that, Qiu Xiang turned and walked out. After seeing Qiu Xiang walk out and disappear from sight, Li San Niang sat in her chair, her heart filled with turmoil.
The man in red robes and the woman in green robes mentioned by Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang are none other than the Holy Son of the Holy Temple Sect and his maid, Xiao Tu (who appears in Chapter 232).
As for the Holy Son's claim that the two became husband and wife less than three months after their marriage, that is naturally false.
However, it is true that the Holy Son slept with Little Rabbit, and Little Rabbit was indeed feeling unwell. So the Holy Son used her as a pretext to pretend to be her husband and come to the clinic to meet Li San Niang, who had escaped the clutches of the Holy Temple time and time again and was quite formidable.
After leaving Yongpingfang and returning to a residence in the West Market, the smile on the Holy Son's face vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.
The Holy Son was still resentful about his humiliating escape from Chang'an last time.
Over the past few months, we finally managed to find a few places in the Turkic region and acquire some men and money.
Since we stumbled on the Emperor's birthday last time, we'll get our revenge on the Lantern Festival this time!
