I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 185 I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business

Luo Qianhuai did not defend his uncle in front of Baifu. This matter has been officially concluded. No wonder people look at Wen Pu through colored glasses.

When the case is over, people's attitudes will naturally change accordingly, and there is no need to use rhetoric in advance.

"I live in Muyun Building." She said to Guanshi Bai: "It's just that your husband's health is getting better. If he still hasn't improved, you can go and find me. Just mention the lady surnamed Luo."

Bai Guanshi is already over 40 years old, and he has seen many real people and things. He is also quite tactful in doing things and does not offend people easily.

The reason why she was rude just now was partly because of Luo Qianhuai's status as a female doctor, which made people look down upon her for no reason. On the other hand, it was also because of Gao Liang's words that connected her with the notorious quack doctor.

But the reaction of the young lady in front of him was beyond his expectation. There was no sarcastic retort, and there were no tears shed on the spot.

Her expression was always calm and peaceful, and her speaking speed was neither urgent nor slow. Just looking at this calm and measured demeanor, it is definitely not something that a small family can raise.

Only then did Guanshi Bai look at Luo Qianhuai seriously. I saw that although she was pretty and lovely, her features were pure and fair, not even remotely coquettish. Not only that, the clothes on his body are also extraordinary.

The collar of the cloak he was wearing was made of white ferret fur, with no trace of mottled color. The silver-gray fabric underneath, at first glance, he thought it was just ordinary brocade, but upon closer inspection, he could tell that it was extremely... The kesi material is so rare and precious that it is known as "one inch of kesi silk and one inch of gold".

Since the Bai Mansion started its business with textiles, it is natural that the family stewards are familiar with Kesi. But it was precisely because of this that Bai Guanshi was even more surprised.

Kesi was originally the favorite clothing material of the nobles in the palace and the wives of princes and powerful families. It was not available to ordinary people even if they wanted to take a look at it.

How could a lowly medical woman wear such a precious cloak casually? Could it be that she was the daughter of a powerful family and wanted to study medicine for fun on a whim?

Manager Bai's heart was filled with mist, but his attitude had changed on his face. Although he still hadn't invited her in to see Xiao Langjun, he followed Luo Qianhuai's words:

"If that happens, I will bother Madam Luo for no reason."

When Gao Liang saw that Manager Bai had offended Mrs. Luo, he was eager to watch a good show. Unexpectedly, in just two or three sentences, the other party became polite to her, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He looked at Manager Bai, then at Luo Qianhuai's beautiful clothes, especially the gold and blank jade lotus hairpin in her hair, and suddenly he understood the whole story.

After being deflated in front of the Huichun Hall last time, Gao Liang hated Wen Pu and Luo Qianhuai so much that he immediately went to the boss behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire and asked him to help check Luo Qianhuai's identity.

As a result, the result of this investigation was quite different from what he thought. It turns out that Mrs. Luo is not from an official family, but her real identity is that of a village girl from a remote state. It's just that he has a close relationship with a certain well-known ranger leader and has received many gifts from him. He is probably just a kept outhouse.

On the day when Mrs. Luo was arrested and brought to justice by the new Changling Ling, Gao Liang drank two jugs of wine for the first time. The wine was bought at the Renjia Liquor House in the back alley, and a bottle cost sixty cents. Although it was not comparable to the wine at Mingyue Tower, it was still a rare pastime for people in the market. Unexpectedly, when I woke up in the morning, I heard that the man was back again.

A hero has trouble with beauty. Even a high-ranking official like Changling Ling will still be seduced by the beauty of a little lady and let her go without hesitation, let alone such a steward in front of him?

He wanted to expose Luo Qianhuai's true identity in front of Manager Bai, but he was afraid that if these words were not brought to light, he would lose the reputation of a famous doctor that he had finally built up.

After his expression changed several times, Gao Liang sneered and said: "Take care of yourself, don't follow in your master's footsteps", and then left on his own. Luo Qianhuai said goodbye to Manager Bai politely. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he wandered around the streets of Anlingyi.

Anling is the burial mausoleum of Emperor Sejong, next to Emperor Gaozu's Changling. The mausoleum is far less prosperous than Changling. The population is only one-third of Changling. Most of the towns are dominated by wealthy merchants. , there are not many officials and dignitaries.

In Luo Qianhuai's eyes, he felt that the advantage of having fewer people was that he could at least appreciate the antique streetscape in a relatively quiet environment.

But this good mood did not last long. Just in front of a drug store in Nanshi, she saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl being dragged and thrown out of the door by two strong men.

"Our Guangqing Hall is a medical clinic, not a charity hall." One of the waiters said coldly: "Hu Langzhong has a soft heart. The previous one gave up three medicines for free. I didn't expect that you are not only ungrateful, but also came to ruin Hu Langzhong's reputation. It's simply It’s a dog that bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn’t recognize a good heart!”

This movement has alarmed pedestrians on the street. At first, everyone saw that the little girl was pitiful and was criticizing Guang Qingtang's behavior, but after hearing what the guy said, they had a different view.

"Mr. Hu from Guangqingtang is indeed a good person. He saved me from a heatstroke and fainted the summer before last. This little lady acted like this, but it was very inappropriate."

"It's not easy to do any business. The medicinal materials in the drug store are bought with real money. You are still not satisfied with getting the medicine for free. Are you here to blackmail me?"

"Looking at the skinny and dry little lady, she behaves so cunningly, which is exactly what the saying goes - 'Poverty breeds treachery, wealth breeds conscience'."

Some people directly said to the clerk of Guangqing Hall: "We and the neighbors all know what Hu Langzhong is like. If this little lady wants to hit the target, we are all willing to go to Yiting to testify."

Many people echoed his words: "That's right, it's better to report it directly to the official to save trouble."

From the beginning to the end, the little girl had a look of despair on her face, slumped, and her eyes were full of despair.

Luo Qianhuai had seen many similar expressions in his previous life. This is the heartfelt grief of the family members when they are helpless. It cannot be faked casually.

She frowned when she saw the crowd blaming the little girl.

She didn't know Hu Langzhong from Guangqingtang, and she didn't know the inside story. She just wanted to help this half-grown child.

"Is someone in your family sick?" Luo Qianhuai walked over, squatted beside her, and asked warmly.

The guy who spoke just now was about to turn around and go back to the store when he saw this scene.

"My lady, I would like to advise you not to meddle in other people's business." He said with an upright look on his face: "Be careful that you get entangled with this scoundrel lady like us."
