Shen Xiyin: "I understand the reasoning, but I have only one question."
How do you manage to be so perceptive and understanding?
"you!"
"Pfft—" Someone couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
Once it starts, it starts again. Everyone stopped holding back when they saw someone laughing around them, and more and more people started laughing out loud. But instead of laughing at Chen Qiyin, they laughed at Xie Qing.
"Oh my, this is hilarious! Miss Shen, can I borrow your mouth for a bit?"
"This girl is pretty strange."
"That young lady from the Vice Minister's residence got called a dog again, didn't she? Right, right?"
Xie Qing was, after all, a lady from a respectable family. While she might not be treated like royalty wherever she went, she was at least the apple of her parents' eye at home. She had never suffered such humiliation before.
His face turned bright red, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Unable to argue with Shen Qiyin, she turned her anger towards Feng Ruoying beside her: "Why didn't you say you'd help me?"
"...Just look at my mouth, do you think I can out-scold her?" She did try to stop her earlier, but she insisted on showing off and provoking Shen Qiyin. Now she's blaming her.
Feng Ruoying was muttering to herself when her gaze inadvertently met Shen Qiyin's, and she shuddered in fright.
She quickly lowered her head, thinking: If you've insulted my cousin, you can't insult me too.
Shen Qiyin was amused by her timid appearance.
Xie Qing took it as a provocation and retorted, "Your jokes won't help. Do you think they can cover up the fact that you don't have an invitation?"
Shen Qiyin didn't even glance at her again, but said to the steward of the Marquis's mansion, "I really can't produce the invitation, but I'd appreciate it if you could go in and announce that a doctor from Guangrentang has come to see me."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Guangrentang?
She was actually a doctor at Guangrentang!
An elderly woman who had just finished shopping for groceries stopped when she heard the words "Guangrentang." She squinted at Shen Qiyin not far away and muttered to herself, "Isn't that our Er Ya..."
Someone nearby overheard this and immediately asked, "Er Ya?! You're saying she's the miracle doctor Er Ya?"
"Ah," the old woman said proudly, "aside from our Er Ya, who else has such beautiful eyes?"
"Hey, you know what, looking at his build, he really does resemble the Divine Doctor Er Ya."
"I heard that Master Shen is a royal physician. Why didn't the Marquis's mansion invite him, but instead invited Er Ya? Could it be that the father's medical skills are not as good as a little girl's?"
"Hey, that's what you call the student surpassing the master!"
...
The surrounding chatter was incessant, and even the steward was surprised, since he was the one who had gone to Guangrentang to invite the person just two days ago.
"You are the Divine Doctor Er Ya?!"
"Exactly."
"Oh my! It's you!" Steward Wei Chong slapped his thigh and hurriedly and respectfully ushered the man into the mansion: "Please come in quickly, the Marquis and his wife are waiting for you."
"Thank you for your trouble." Shen Qiyin nodded slightly and stepped inside.
As she passed by Xie Qing, she heard her say something like "Stop," but when she turned around, she saw Feng Ruoying covering Xie Qing's mouth tightly, her smile stiff as she said to Shen Qiyin, "She said to take care, hehe, take care, take care."
Shen Qiyin naturally did not believe it.
Having already achieved her goal, she was too lazy to continue dealing with Xie Qing. However, Xie Qing unexpectedly grabbed Feng Ruoying's hand and questioned, "You believed her just because she said she was a doctor at Guangrentang?"
"What if she heard it from others and is trying to sneak into the Marquis's residence?"
Feng Ruoying tapped her buzzing head twice, almost in despair, and said, "No... you had someone cast a spell on you?"
"Why would she lie and sneak into the Marquis's residence? To steal some rare herbs to use as medicine?"
Xie Qing: "No, she..."
Feng Ruoying interrupted her directly: "Can you shut up? This is the Marquis's residence!"
Marquis Wu'an, Wei Xi, is the only first-rank marquis in the Great Zhou Dynasty! Even princes have to treat him with utmost respect, but she, on the other hand, brays like a donkey at the gate of someone else's residence!
Wei Chong stepped forward at the opportune moment, first bowing to Feng Ruoying and Xie Qing, and then said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Biao, but Miss Shen is a person of noble character, and I believe she is not a liar."
"Lord Kuang and his wife are discerning and will not be easily deceived, so Miss Biao need not worry."
These words seemed polite, but in reality, they were practically a direct message telling Xie Qing to mind her own business.
When Wei Chong turned back to face Shen Qiyin, his smile became genuine: "Please come in."
When Shen Qiyin went further inside this time, Xie Qing didn't dare to utter a single word.
Of course, it's also possible that she released it, but didn't hear it.
Wei Chong led Shen Qiyin to the garden where the Marquis's mansion was holding a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and explained, "Please rest here for a while, have some tea and snacks, and I will send someone to inform the Marquis and his wife."
"good."
After Wei Chong left, Ren Dong immediately whispered to Shen Qiyin, "Miss, didn't we bring the invitation? Why did you lie and say it was lost?"
“Bring the invitation into the mansion, I am merely the second young lady of the Shen family.”
"But I want the world to know that the second young lady of the Shen family is actually Er Ya from Guangrentang!"
She knew about the Wu'an Marquis's residence, which was asking her to come and treat patients, as early as when Wei Chong left his address at Guangrentang.
She guessed that Marquis Wu'an already knew that she was Er Ya. In order to prevent her from harboring any resentment and thinking that they looked down on her, he sent another invitation to the Shen family to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.
At that time, she planned to take advantage of this opportunity to expose her true colors.
