late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 116
Qin Ruonan picked up the hairpin in his hand, turned to look at me and said.

"This hairpin is very important to me, I want to take it back."

Seeing how much Qin Ruonan attaches importance to hairpins, I didn't refute, but readily agreed.

"It was originally your thing, but now it is finally returned to its original owner."

Qin Ruonan carefully put away the hairpin and put it in the bag, then looked up at me with a slightly rosy face, and said.

"When are you free? Go see my mother again, she is still praising you all the time!"

"Really? Let's do it today!"

I didn't tell Qin Ruonan that I was going to Anqing, maybe I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back.

Qin Ruonan and I came all the way to the Qin mansion, entered the yard, and found Mrs. Qin looking out from the window in the inner room.

"It seems that your mother's condition has improved."

I am quite gratified that I have achieved such an effect in treating patients for the first time.

Because soon I will also face the plague, although it looks terrible, like a scourge, but I already have a countermeasure in my mind, and whether I can return to Beijing smoothly depends on my luck.

After entering the inner room, Mrs. Qin was sitting on the bed. When she saw us coming in, she immediately became happy.

"Miraculous doctor, you are here. Thanks to your treatment, otherwise my old bones might be put into a coffin."

"Mom... what are you talking about!"

Qin Ruonan sat on the side of the bed, supported Mrs. Qin, and said angrily.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? If it wasn't for this genius doctor, I might have died long ago."

I smiled awkwardly, waved my hand and said.

"Mrs. Qin, please be polite. Ruonan and I are friends, and you are her mother. I just know a little bit about medicine. I'm not a miracle doctor. I really dare not take it upon you to call me that."

Seeing my embarrassment, Qin Ruonan covered his mouth and giggled.

"Since it's Ruonan's friend, don't stand there. I didn't ask you when I came last time. What's your name? What do you do at home?"

Mrs. Qin asked a series of questions like checking the household registration, and my heart was full of wailing.

"Mom, do you treat him as a prisoner? He is a guest, and he is here to check your pulse today."

Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Ruonan's peachy face, and suddenly felt a little understanding.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

I went forward and carefully examined Mrs. Qin's pulse.

Compared with the last time, her body has recovered greatly in the past few days, her pulse is no longer so weak, and her complexion has also eased a lot. Given time, she will definitely return to normal.

I put away my hands and said kindly.

"Don't worry! Mrs. Qin, your health has improved significantly, and I believe you will be able to go out for a walk soon."

"Really? Thank you so much."

Mrs. Qin seemed a little excited, and directly grabbed my hand.

I was slightly embarrassed, but didn't break free immediately.

Seeing this, Qin Ruonan patted Mrs. Qin's shoulder lightly, and gave him a wink.

Mrs. Qin smiled awkwardly, withdrew her hand, and said nothing more.

According to Mrs. Qin's condition, I prescribed a prescription and gave it to Qin Ruonan.

Qin Ruonan sent me to the door, and looked at me with some embarrassment.

"Today, my mother is a little excited."

"No, her old man is excited, which means that her body is much stronger. You should be happy."

I turned around and left, and within a few steps, I ran into a person, who was the one I had been wanting to monitor——Qin Huaizhong.

Qin Huaizhong and his entourage hurried past me, and when they passed me, they hesitated a little, and glanced back at me, but they didn't stop, and went straight into the yard.

I stopped in my tracks, using all my internal strength, and at this moment I heard the conversation between Qin Ruo, his mother, and his daughter.

"Why did you let him go? Why don't you stay for a meal? I think this young man is not bad."

"Mother, what are you talking about? He is a dignified military minister, how can I be worthy of him!"

"That's even better. You girl, you have always been very noble since you were a child. You have never paid any attention to how many princes Baylor pursued you. This time, you are very interested in this person."

"Those idiots are either spending time and drinking, or eating, drinking and having fun. They don't have any ambitions at all. What's more, I don't have a common language with them. Mother, do you know?"

Qin Ruonan leaned over to Mrs. Qin and said.

"He once chased a thief for me, rescued me, and he even picked up my golden phoenix, not to mention we..."

Qin Ruonan blushed suddenly as he spoke, and didn't continue talking.

"The golden phoenix was picked up by him. It seems that you are really destined. Daughter, what's the matter with you? It can't be..."

"Mom, we have nothing, I won't tell you anymore."

Qin Ruonan ran out blushing, bumping into Qin Huaizhong who had just entered the door.

"oops……"

Qin Ruonan took a step back and covered his head.

"You girl, why don't you look at me when you walk! Dad, look, does it hurt?"

"Father, you're still being unreasonable. It's because you didn't make a sound when you came in, so blame me!"

Qin Ruonan rubbed his head and said unhappily.

"Okay, it's all dad's fault, why did you come back today?"

"It's not because of my mother's illness. I invited a friend to come back to check my mother's pulse."

Qin Ruonan turned around and sat down on the chair, and started to eat the walnuts on the plate.

"You mean, the one who cured your mother?"

Qin Huaizhong looked at Qin Ruonan in surprise, and asked suspiciously.

"Yeah! Look, my mother looks good today!"

Qin Ruonan ignored Qin Huaizhong, but stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, put his arm around Madam Qin and said.

"Mother, look at my father, he knows how to make money, and he never cared about you. Otherwise, you wouldn't suddenly fall ill. After so many years, no matter how many doctors look down on you, if I didn't meet this friend by chance, you I don't know how much I will suffer!"

Obviously, Qin Ruonan had a lot of dissatisfaction with Qin Huaizhong, and the resentment in his heart was self-evident.

"Where did you meet that friend? Who is he?"

Qin Ruonan turned his body to one side, bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing his daughter like this, Qin Huaizhong said vowedly.

"I know even if you don't tell me, are you the one who appeared in the secret path that day?"

When Qin Ruonan heard his father's accusation, he immediately became angry.

"So what if it's me! After so many years, what else do you want to do besides make money, for money, you even sell opium, are you still the number one scholar who once had the world in mind?"

"What?! Huaizhong, why did you sell opium? Tell me it's not true?"
