Xinran listened from the side and was only surprised. How much did He Jiuniang hate Qin Jian to complain about him like this in front of others, let alone in front of her?
Or perhaps, knowing about her relationship with Qin Jian, he deliberately told her this so she could convey to Qin Jian how detestable he was.
It seems that the discord between Qin Jian and the Lu family is real. Even when they go to their house for a meal, it's Qin Jian who shamelessly goes.
As for why Qin Jian insisted on going to eat, it was definitely to disgust this family. After all, whenever Qin Jian came to the theater to see her recently, Lu Baichuan would always shamelessly follow along, eating the tea and snacks Qin Jian ordered while mocking Qin Jian for liking an actress who ignored him.
In one go, Xinran figured out all these relationships, so it seems that today wasn't entirely fruitless.
Soon, He Jiuniang finished writing the prescription and handed it to Xinran's maid. Then she had the young medicine boy carry the box away. When she reached the door, she stopped and said, "Miss Xinran, please tell that Qin guy that if he wants to slander my husband's reputation outside, then he shouldn't keep coming to my house. We should all be honest with each other. His actions are really meaningless."
After saying that, he really left.
The first thing I did when I got home was to share what happened that day with Lu Baichuan, and I laughed until my stomach hurt.
"I think my acting is pretty good, she'll definitely believe me!"
He Jiuniang has always been confident in herself. She has done things that are more difficult than this, let alone just acting in a play.
Lu Baichuan pinched her cheek and said, "There's definitely no problem!"
"By the way, aren't you free tomorrow? Remember to take the kids out to play. That thing you mentioned about riding horses can't be put off any longer."
Tomorrow is Lu Baichuan's day off. Since he has nothing to do at home anyway, he might as well do something meaningful.
"Okay, that's what I was planning too. It's all arranged. So, you..."
"I'm not going! I'm not interested in that stuff."
He Jiuniang waved her hand without hesitation. Firstly, she had only just returned, and there were many people at the clinic, so she couldn't delay too much. Moreover, even if she didn't go to the clinic, she still needed to check on the construction progress of the clubhouse, as there were many things she needed to follow up on.
"Oh well."
Lu Baichuan was a little disappointed. He had wanted to take her out to play. It was a rare day off, and it would have been nice for the family to go out and have fun together. But instead, he ended up taking a bunch of kids out to play by himself.
"By the way, please invite Mr. Kang and Lou Chong to our house for dinner tomorrow night. I asked the kitchen to make a braised dish so that everyone can have a taste."
The children said that Kang Xiucai had been staying in his little courtyard all this time while waiting for his results, and he seemed to be preoccupied. So why not invite him out to play and relax?
"Okay, let Leizi and the others invite Mr. Kang. He'll feel uncomfortable if I go."
Lu Baichuan was still somewhat self-aware. To Mr. Kang, he was not only Gou'er's father and He Jiuniang's husband, but also a third-rank official, which put some pressure on him.
To avoid making him uncomfortable, it would be better to let the children talk to him.
"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit. I've been a bit busy lately. My sister-in-law's restaurant is opening in a few days, so we'll definitely be going back. I haven't been home in a long time, and I miss Ms. Sun. We also need to check on my second sister-in-law while we're at it."
While eating, He Jiuniang made arrangements. Lu Baichuan felt a little sorry for her and said, "I will keep an eye on the club, so you don't need to worry about it. As for the clinic, if you can't see all the patients, then see fewer patients. There are many patients, but you are the only one. Don't overwork yourself."
He Jiuniang nodded, indicating that she understood, but in reality, she still wanted to do her best to see more patients. No one wants to be tormented by illness, and since she had the ability, she would see more people as a way of accumulating good karma.
"By the way, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
He Jiuniang put down her bowl and looked at Lu Baichuan with a serious expression. Lu Baichuan also put down his bowl and listened attentively: "Go on."
"Just like you said, there are too many patients, but I am only one. However, there can be many doctors. I plan to start teaching and train doctors with good medical skills."
Lu Baichuan asked, "To run a school?"
He Jiuniang shook her head: "It's not up to standard to run a school yet. I need to train a group of doctors with good medical skills first, so that there will be people to teach in the future, right?"
"My plan is to spread the word that not only Yuyuantang, but doctors from other clinics can also apply. However, there will be a fee. After completing the course, they can quickly earn back the money in their own clinics. Later, when we set up a school, we will also spend additional money to invite them back to teach."
Upon hearing this, Lu Baichuan understood her meaning and asked, "So, does that mean you'll be personally teaching this group of people?"
He Jiuniang nodded: "Yes, they are all doctors with basic skills, so teaching them should be much easier. However, I don't accept just anyone. I need your help to have someone investigate the backgrounds of these doctors in the city to see if they have any shady pasts. If they are barely acceptable, that's fine, but if they have been involved in any major accidents, we won't consider them. Also, we must pay attention to their moral character. I don't want anyone with bad moral character."
"Okay, I'll have someone take care of it tomorrow."
He Jiuniang chuckled and asked, "Tell me, wouldn't this count as taking up your public resources?"
"No," Lu Baichuan smiled and said, "His Highness might even praise you if he knew."
"No need for praise, but a little tip would be nice, hahaha!"
The two chatted like that, completely ignoring the group of children eating next to them.
A group of children blushed with embarrassment watching the couple talk so unrestrainedly and even engage in some intimate behavior, wishing they could bury their heads in their bowls.
Especially for Lei Zi and the other kids who are already teenagers, seeing their uncle and aunt so affectionate, they are naturally happy for them. But could they please refrain from hitting each other while talking? In just a short while, they've been pinching their cheeks and rubbing their heads. Have they considered how they feel?
While feeling indignant, Lei Zi secretly glanced at Lianhua and noticed that her face was flushed with embarrassment. He instantly found her incredibly cute.
Perhaps influenced by his uncle, he also wanted to reach out and pinch Lotus's face!
Fortunately, he remained somewhat rational and didn't do anything excessive, only shoveling rice into his mouth to cover up his embarrassment.
The next day, He Jiuniang went to the clinic as usual, while Lu Baichuan, after handing over the things he needed to tell, took a group of children to the horse farm outside the city to ride horses. Even Lianhua and the others were taken along, and they asked for leave from the shop.
