Chapter 985: Chapter 983: Clever Words and Pleasing Appearance Seeing Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin hanging their heads, Imperial Doctor Du couldn’t bear it and finally said awkwardly, “Of course, as your master, I’m not telling you to always be cautious, afraid to do anything! What’s the difference from being a salted fish? I just want you to see clearly before you act, whether it’s worth doing or even possible!” “Once you’ve made a decision, your master’s first lesson is: either don’t do it, or do it to completion! Since you’ve involved yourselves in this case and offended the Magistrate, you must spare no effort to bring him down, leaving him no chance to ever threaten you again, understand?” Imperial Doctor Du looked at Song Chongjin, clearly directing these words at him. Song Chongjin was silent for a moment, then nodded, “Master, I understand!” Imperial Doctor Du then said, “You’re both foolish, having a master and still stupidly handling this yourselves, handing over leverage to others? Didn’t you think to check with me first? Why would you need to take the lead yourselves? You look clever, but do foolish things!” In the end, he blamed Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin for not using his connections. Wang Yongzhu understood Imperial Doctor Du was indirectly telling them that with him as a backer, they didn’t need to handle these matters themselves. It’s like the calm after the storm, all peace again. Immediately she tugged on Lady Qi’s sleeve, acting spoiled, “Madam, Master scolded me and Brother Song for being foolish, I feel so bad, I need a hug from you to feel better.” Lady Qi was so amused she couldn’t close her mouth, hugging Wang Yongzhu tightly, still saying, “You little girl, your master is just worried about you—” Song Chongjin silently glanced at Wang Yongzhu, so there was such a way to handle this? No way, in the evening he also needed a hug from Yongzhu, otherwise he’d feel bad too. Imperial Doctor Du simply couldn’t watch, his own lady, ever since knowing Song Chongjin’s background, was unconditionally good to both Yongzhu and Song Chongjin, making him jealous. He couldn’t help but glance at Song Chongjin: “Look at your wife.” Song Chongjin looked up at the sky. Imperial Doctor Du had no choice but to say, “How grown are you, still clinging to your Madam? Today, follow me to visit your Uncle Master!” He directly dragged Wang Yongzhu out the door. Song Chongjin also followed them out, Imperial Doctor Du waved a bit grumpily, “Why are you following us? Just focus on reading your books!” Song Chongjin obediently bid farewell and left. Imperial Doctor Du turned back to see Wang Yongzhu smiling at him, instantly making him uncomfortable, “What are you looking at me for?” Wang Yongzhu used the skills she had for placating her own mother Old Granny Zhang: “I see Master looks extraordinarily spirited today, this outfit looks so good on you. Who would think we’re master and apprentice? They’d probably think you’re my elder brother!” Imperial Doctor Du’s mouth twitched, then he kept a straight face reluctantly: “Nonsense! Flattery!” Yet, he couldn’t help but straighten his sleeves, stepping out with extra light steps. Peace Clinic was located on the most bustling street, not far from Imperial Doctor Du’s house. Out of the alley, it was the main street, lined with shops on both sides, bustling with pedestrians. Since this was after the Bathing Orchid Festival, according to tradition, the Bathing Orchid Festival divided into major, middle, and minor days, with the fifth as the first, fifteenth as the major, and twenty-fifth as the last, the whole month was bustling. The streets still had various items from the Dragon Boat Festival, and Wang Yongzhu looked around, finding everything interesting. Imperial Doctor Du appeared impatient, but as long as Wang Yongzhu looked at something a few extra times, he grumbled, “Is this even worth your attention?” Meanwhile, he fished for money in his bag, bought the item, and tossed it into Wang Yongzhu’s arms, “Take it to play with.” Wang Yongzhu was not shy, happily accepting it, “Thank you, Master, you are the best and most handsome master in the world. Being able to be your apprentice must be great luck accumulated from my ancestors—” Imperial Doctor Du’s face remained unchanged, but his eyes smiled, clearly joyful inside. He became even more generous, almost wanting to buy the whole street. Arriving at Peace Clinic, both of them were carrying a pile of various things, swaggering in. Today was a rare occasion with Old Master Qin seeing patients, and quite a crowd waiting, seeing these two not lining up and going in, they were anxious. “Why aren’t those two lining up and just going in like that?” “Exactly, we came yesterday, queued up here even before dawn today. I heard Divine Doctor Qin only sees patients once a month, treating only ten patients each time, what if it comes to us and we don’t get treated, what do we do?” Hearing this, everyone became restless. “What’s going on with your Peace Clinic? Didn’t you say Old Master Qin treats everyone equally? How come they get to go in first?” Someone grabbed the Shopkeeper of Peace Clinic relentlessly. The Shopkeeper hadn’t seen clearly at first, about to stop them when he saw Imperial Doctor Du place his items boldly on the table, looking around Peace Clinic with hands behind his back. This attitude didn’t look like he was here for treatment, more like looking for trouble. Upon hearing the patients’ questioning, the smile on Peace Clinic’s Shopkeeper’s face didn’t change a bit, “Brother, don’t worry, let me go check.” He composedly walked over, just about to inquire. When he saw the curtain of the consulting room lifted from behind the hall, a previously seen patient exited with joy, still chanting, “Thank you, Divine Doctor Qin! Thank you, Divine Doctor Qin!” The waiting patients couldn’t help but grab that patient: “Brother, what illness do you have? Have you been cured?” The patient was jubilant, “I’ve had this cough for over ten years, it’s okay during the day, but at night I get chest discomfort, cough, dry mouth, feel like I can’t breathe. I’ve seen many doctors for this, tried a lot of medicine, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.” “Most of my family’s savings went into this old ailment. Finally managed to find Divine Doctor Qin, came over, and unexpectedly in just a month, my cough has greatly reduced, earlier Divine Doctor Qin said after two or three months more of medication, it should be fine!” At this, tears welled in the patient’s eyes. Hearing this, everyone’s gaze towards the consulting room grew even more eager and respectful. Most of those waiting were from other places, some even traveled from afar, naturally hearing more about how skilled Divine Doctor Qin’s medical techniques were made them feel even better. Wang Yongzhu also listened with stars in her eyes, not expecting this Uncle Master to be so amazing. Imperial Doctor Du watched Wang Yongzhu in such awe, immediately displeased, little girl who hasn’t seen the world, it’s just a minor cough issue, is it worth such admiration? Does she still remember who her master is?
