Chapter 217: Unresolved Issues, He Promised Me
The clinic is in a great location, with a constant stream of people passing through.
As Ji Qingwu walked out of the door, she was almost hit by someone. Fortunately, she dodged in time and took two steps back.
"Girl, are you okay? I can't see the road clearly."
The servant with thick eyebrows and big eyes was holding a food box half a person's height in his hand. His vision was blocked by something, so he didn't see her.
Ji Qingwu's eyes were attracted by the person behind the servant.
Isn’t this the imperial merchant from Xijin that I just mentioned to Duan Mingfeng?
The servant asked enthusiastically, "Where are you hurt, girl? Do you want to go to the family clinic to see a doctor?"
Ji Qingwu shook his head and said, "It's okay, you didn't hurt me."
At this time, the man with gray-blue eyes took the initiative to speak and said, "The girl came from the clinic, so she must be someone in the clinic."
His voice was soft and soothing, but looking closely at his eyes, they were like the surface of the sea under dark clouds, giving people a sense of oppression.
Ji Qingwu did not answer, but asked: "From the accent of this gentleman, he doesn't sound like a local?"
Yuwen Tianqing said: "I am a businessman from Xijin. I have long admired the delicious food of Beili and came here to learn some business tips."
Seeing that he stated his identity so directly, which was exactly the same as what Duan Mingfeng had investigated, Ji Qingwu felt less resistant to this man.
He exudes a wealthy and leisurely aura, and one can tell at first sight that it is built of gold and silver.
Ji Qingwu looked at the food box in the servant's hand and said, "It is better to eat the food while it is hot. I won't disturb your pleasure."
After saying that, she moved aside and waited for them to pass first.
Yuwen Tianqing did not move, but turned his gaze to the medical clinic behind her which had not yet been hung with a sign.
"I remember that I have met the girl before."
"We just arrived in Lin'an City and went to look for the Tianxiang Restaurant because of its reputation. It turned out that it had been sold. It is now this medical clinic. The young lady was also there that day."
Ji Qingwu nodded and said, "Young Master has a good memory."
Yuwen Tianqing's eyes fell on her face and asked, "Young lady, were you one of the Five Divine Doctors in Nanchu?"
Ji Qingwu's faint smile disappeared: "Why do you ask this, young master?"
Yuwen Tianqing's brows were tinged with sorrow, and he said, "Actually, I have one unfinished business in Lin'an."
I have come a long way to find her, but I still have unfinished business...
Ji Qingwu's gaze moved from his face down to scan his entire body.
She looks like a strong person, could it be that she is unable to have children?
When she lowered her head, the gray in Yuwen Tianqing's eyes became darker: "Fifth Divine Doctor, can you please lend me a hand to talk?"

In the clinic.
The table was covered with white porcelain fragments and powder.
Duan Mingfeng sat there, looking at Mo Lingling who was shaking like a sieve.
He poured a cup of tea and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? Is it because I look scary?"
The table towel in Mo Lingling's hand was already wrinkled.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Duan Mingfeng threw the teacup on the table with a clanging sound, and Mo Lingling's shoulders shook again.
She quickly shook her head and said, "No."
Judging from his appearance alone, Duan Mingfeng is not at all scary-looking, and can be described as having sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.
When he was young, he was very popular with little girls, and Mo Lingling was one of them.
But the Duan family was wiped out in a revenge plot. Overnight, Duan Mingfeng's personality became gloomy, and Mo Lingling was the one he scolded the most.
She still has a scar on her knee, which was caused by him pushing her down after he lost control of his emotions.
Duan Mingfeng didn't look at her, and said gloomily: "What are your plans for the future?"
Mo Lingling whispered, "It's in Miss Ji's clinic. It's better than the Liangxiang Pavilion. There aren't so many intrigues. The owner and the waiters in the clinic also take good care of me."
He raised his eyes and said, "Are you not going to clear Lord Mo's grievances?"
Thinking of her father's unjust death, Mo Lingling dared not forget it.
"Of course!"
A look of sadness appeared on her face. “I am the only one left in the Mo family, but I must survive first before I can redress the injustice for my father.”
Duan Mingfeng continued to ask without any emotion: "How do you want to clear yourself? Are you going to find Li Chengxun?"
Having not heard this name for a long time, Mo Lingling looked dazed for a while.
Then, he whispered, "He promised me."
The night before, he whispered in her ear so firmly that sooner or later, he would vindicate her father.
Even though she lowered her voice, these words still reached Duan Mingfeng's ears.
He crushed the cup in his hand.
When Ji Qingwu came back in, he happened to see this scene.
The veins on the back of Duan Mingfeng's hand were clearly visible, and the cup in his palm turned into a pile of powder. He had no idea what the two men were talking about.
I don't know if it's feasible to find Duan Shisi a private job and hire him to grind medicine powder for the clinic...
Duan Mingfeng and Mo Lingling looked straight at the person behind her.
Ji Qingwu turned around and said, "This is a merchant from Xijin, his name is——"
"Yuwen Tianqing."
"Yes, Master Yuwen."
Ji Qingwu introduced: "He was the first patient before the clinic officially opened."
The looks of several people instantly became strange, and Mo Lingling's gaze was directly fixed on his lower body.
Yuwen Tianqing twitched his lips and said, "Miss Ji, you misunderstood."
"Can we talk in private?"
It is indeed inconvenient for others to hear the patient's privacy, Ji Qingwu nodded.
Then, she and Duan Mingfeng exchanged glances, and they went to the hall on the first floor to wait.
Ji Qingwu asked, "Master Yuwen, if you are fine, what do you want to see me about?"
Yuwen Tianqing sat on the chair, leaning back in a leisurely manner.
"I heard that the Fifth Divine Doctor was lost when he was young, and was only found by his family in the past six months."
Seeing him mention his past, Ji Qingwu said coldly: "It seems that Master Yuwen knows a lot about my affairs."
Sensing the wariness in her eyes, Yuwen Tianqing said, "Don't be offended, Fifth Divine Doctor. I didn't mean to deliberately inquire about your affairs."
"But who in Lin'an City doesn't know about the fifth young lady of the Ji family? I heard the diners mention her several times in the restaurant alone."
This argument is quite plausible.
Now, among all the ladies from aristocratic families in the city, whether good or bad in reputation, the story of Miss Ji Wu is not as widely spread as it is.
Ji Qingwu said: "Since Master Yuwen calls me a miracle doctor, you should know that I charge for my consultations, not just for casual chats."
"If Miss Ji can help me achieve my wish, you can set the consultation fee as you like." Yuwen Tianqing said generously.
Ji Qingwu's eyes flashed: "Aren't you afraid that I will ask for too much?"
Yuwen Tianqing said more openly: "As long as you have the ability and can do it, gold and silver are not a problem."
As expected of a wealthy royal merchant, Ji Qingwu put on a professional smile again.
She asked, "Sir, why are you here? Feel free to tell me."
Yuwen Tianqing stopped playing dumb and said, "I have a sister who is three years younger than me. She got lost when she was a child."
She had the same experience as him, and was also lost at a young age.
