Fang Qingyue didn't know what Shen Qiu Nian was thinking, but just looked at the wound on Jia Yinghua's face with some worry.
She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and carefully applied medicine to Jia Yinghua.
There was no ambiguity in her actions, simply because she saw herself as a doctor.
But Chen Qiu Nian couldn't stand these things and wanted to tear Fang Qingyue apart.
The noise downstairs naturally spread to the upstairs.
In the private room on the second floor, Song Xiaoya gently opened the window a crack and looked down at the scene downstairs.
When she found Chi Feng here, she was suddenly startled and clenched her palms tightly: "Why is he here?"
There were many people coming and going in this teahouse, so Song Xiaoya specially invited her spies in Beijing to come here to exchange some information.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuhan's people also followed here.
She waved her hand behind her, gently closed the window, dipped her hand in tea and wrote four words on the table: "If something changes, leave quickly", then got up and went downstairs.
When I went downstairs, I happened to see Fang Qingyue applying medicine to Jia Yinghua.
Song Xiaoya glanced at Shen Qiunian's face, which was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water, and said softly, "Ah, sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you flirting with a man in public? It's a good thing you broke off the engagement with the Marquis. Otherwise, the Marquis's concubine would actually be having an affair. Once the news gets out, it will be so unbearable."
Her tone was gentle, with a hint of smile.
But almost everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Fang Qingyue looked up at Song Xiaoya and said disdainfully, "As a doctor in a pharmacy, when I see someone injured, I naturally have to apply medicine to him. Why don't you do it?"
Covering the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, Song Xiaoya's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Forget it, I'm not like my sister, who can't wait to get close to a man when she sees him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were talking about it.
"Yes, if a doctor in a pharmacy is giving medicine to someone, shouldn't he go inside the clinic? How can they be so close to each other in broad daylight? How can this be allowed?"
"That's right. I heard that Fang Qingyue broke off her engagement with the Marquis because her innocence was ruined. Now it seems that it wasn't just a flower thief who came to her house, but she did it willingly, right?"
"A woman like this deserves to be thrown into a pig cage! How dare she come out in broad daylight! Why didn't that flower thief kill this bitch?"
A group of people were filled with righteous indignation, as if Fang Qingyue had done something extremely outrageous.
Fang Qingyue did not stop her movements, and her voice was even more sarcastic than Song Xiaoya's.
"I don't know when the victim will also be blamed. Some people say that dying of starvation is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a big one. How can this be applied only to women?"
"If that's really the case, the Marquis's family has strict upbringing, yet they produced a man like you, the Marquis, who got another daughter pregnant before they even got married. Could it be... that you, the Marquis, forced your sister into this?"
She spoke so eloquently that the people around her were silent. Shen Qiu Nian angrily slammed the table and said viciously, "Fang Qingyue, what are you talking about? How could it be possible that I forced her?"
"Oh, so you're the one who's paying me back, sister." Fang Qingyue curled her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I only interact with people because I'm a doctor, and I treat them with the same care as my parents. Everyone who has come to the clinic knows that even when I'm taking a patient's pulse, I always use a silk scarf."
"You are such a reserved little sister, yet you shamelessly get pregnant before marriage. It is truly a disgrace to our family."
Everyone else looked at Song Xiaoya, and seeing her slightly bulging belly, their eyes were filled with disgust.
"You..." Song Xiaoya didn't expect Fang Qingyue to be so sweet-talking. She subconsciously said to Shen Qiunian, "My Lord, look at her."
The more she acts like this, the more annoying she becomes.
Some people were afraid of Shen Qiu Nian and did not dare to speak loudly, but the sound of discussion still reached their ears.
"That's what I mean. There are so many young men and women from noble families in the capital. Is there anyone who gets pregnant before marriage?"
"I see that Miss Song doesn't act like someone from an aristocratic family. She doesn't know how to avoid taboos. Doesn't Shen Qiu Nian, as a marquis, know this?"
"In my opinion, these aristocratic families aren't necessarily any better than us. The more aristocratic they are, the more shameless things they do."
Chen Qiu Nian was so angry that he slammed the table hard, smashing it into pieces.
Although the people around him fell silent, their gazes towards him and Song Xiaoya did not diminish at all, but became even more explicit.
"If you look again, be careful or I will dig out your eyes." He said gritting his teeth, stood up and left in a hurry. His back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Song Xiaoya hurriedly followed him and shouted, "My Lord, wait for me."
After the matter was resolved, Chi Feng bid farewell to Fang Qingyue and turned to walk towards the Inspectorate Office.
Fang Qingyue finished applying the ointment and bowed her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to meet Shen Qiu Nian."
"Nothing." Jia Yinghua smiled politely. "You've been frightened by what happened today. Why don't we go to another store and continue our conversation?"
Fang Qingyue had exactly this idea.
The two of them found a seat in a restaurant not far away, and Fang Qingyue ordered a few dishes.
They first talked about Xiaoqu's storytelling for a while, and then Fang Qingyue cautiously probed, "However, you and I have such similar personalities. I wonder if we met when my father was still alive."
Jia Yinghua was startled, and after carefully examining Fang Qingyue, he shook his head. "I was studying at home during those years and rarely went out. I'm afraid I haven't met you."
"Then have you heard about anything related to my father?" Fang Qingyue asked hurriedly, a little anxious.
Jia Yinghua pondered for a moment. "I don't know. I failed the exams in those years, and my father wouldn't let me go out. I've never heard them mention many things. Even Mr. Fang, I've only met him a few times. Every time he looked hurried, he had no time to say anything to me."
Fang Qingyue was suddenly a little disappointed.
She thought Jia Yinghua would know something, but she didn't expect that he knew nothing.
"Is there something wrong?" Seeing that Fang Qingyue was in a bad mood, Jia Yinghua asked carefully.
Fang Qingyue shook her head slightly: "I just want to know some things about my father's life."
She had no mood to continue chatting with Jia Yinghua. She hurriedly finished her meal, paid the bill, and said goodbye to Jia Yinghua.
After wasting too much time outside, when I returned to the old house, Shen Yuhan was already waiting.
He still had the documents in his hand and sat upright at the desk in her boudoir, but his mind was not on the documents.
Hearing the sound of Fang Qingyue pushing the door open, Shen Yuhan simply threw the document in his hand aside: "You still remember to come back? I thought you were having a great time chatting with Jia Yinghua and didn't want to leave."
Fang Qingyue was not in a good mood at the moment and had no intention of arguing with Shen Yuhan.
She sat back on the bed, leaned back, and looked up at the layers of bed curtains, feeling heavy-hearted for a moment.
Jia Yinghua knew nothing about anything and Jia Wenyuan was unwilling to tell her the truth.
Now, she really doesn't know what to do.
