After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 191 The key lies in who controls it.
Fu Hong sighed. Even Mr. Zhuang wasn't worried anymore, so what could he do?
The Prince of Huai was even less likely to listen to him. So, he said, "Let's wait and see if a flower can really bloom."
Hai Chengming smiled as he saw Cao Zhe and the other man off. When he turned around and saw Meng Zhan standing there blankly, he felt a surge of anger and kicked Meng Zhan.

"Tell me, what else can you do?"

"I really don't know how you passed the imperial examination."

Meng Zhan staggered from the kick, a sharp pain shooting through his leg.

"My lord, if Lord Lin doesn't come, won't it be Lord Lin who ultimately offends Prince Huai?"

"Sir, you don't need to take it to heart."

Meng Zhan covered his inner thigh and said with a slightly aggrieved expression.

Hai Chengming shifted his gaze to Meng Zhan, "Hehe! Hehe!"

"His subordinate has offended the Prince of Huai, do you think I can escape?"

You think you can escape?

"Get out! Get out of here right now, or you'll make me cry from stupidity."

Hai Chengming dismissed Meng Zhan with a look of disgust. He sat alone in the yamen, feeling uneasy no matter how he thought about it.

What if Lin Yunche doesn't come tomorrow? Wouldn't he have to endure the ordeal of Cao Zhe and his two scoundrels? Why should he?

With that thought in mind, Hai Chengming left the government office and headed straight for Lin Yunche's residence.

However, when he arrived at Lin Yunche's residence, the Lin family's gate was tightly closed.

"Go, go, go! Go knock on the door quickly and tell them I want to see Lord Lin." Hai Chengming ordered the coachman to go and knock on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, there was no response at the Lin family's door.

"Sir, is it possible that the Lin family has no one at all?"

"There's not a sound coming from the courtyard."

"How could there be no movement! There should at least be someone guarding the gate, right?" Hai Chengming's patience was almost exhausted.

The coachman bowed his head and took two steps back, saying, "Lord Hai, have you forgotten that the Lin family has no steward, and Lord Lin has no servants by his side?"

Hai Chengming naturally remembered it at this moment.

Hai Chengming gritted his teeth and squeezed out Lin Yunche's name one word at a time.

"Sir, what should we do? Should we go back to the government office now?"

"Why bother going back! Aren't you afraid those people will come to the government office again soon?"

"Let's go! Let's go too! By the way! You need to think of a solution for me now. I don't care if Lin Yunche is sick or not, I have to be sick tomorrow."

After saying that, Hai Chengming flicked the carriage curtain shut again, leaving the coachman standing there dumbfounded.

Sir! I'm just a coachman. You'll have to pay me extra for doing this.

The driver thought this, but ultimately didn't have the courage to say it. Fine, fine, isn't it easy to get sick?
The coachman had a sudden inspiration and took Lord Hai directly to the Hai family's stable.

Hai Chengming was overwhelmed by the stench as soon as he stepped off the carriage.

"Why did you bring me here! This place stinks!" Hai Chengming pinched his nose, looking speechless.

The coachman scratched his head and awkwardly said, "Sir, didn't you say you wanted to get sick?"

“If you stay in this stable for just one night, you’ll definitely get sick.”

Hai Chengming's eyes widened, and he angrily pointed at the driver with his other hand, "I want to get sick, not die!"

"You want me to get Ma Liu, don't you!"

The coachman, however, felt extremely aggrieved. "Sir, this is the only method I could think of just now."

The coachman dared not say that the master was to soak in ice water.

Looking at the stinking stable, Hai Chengming couldn't say another word and could only angrily turn and leave.

He's become stupid too, how could he think of asking a stable boy for help, and even make such a foolish request?

"Forget it! If Lin Yunche doesn't go tomorrow, I'll take some people to his door to find him."

When Hai Chengming returned to the courtyard, he saw Hai Shengyang standing there with red eyes, motionless, which was quite frightening.

"Shengyang, what are you doing?" Hai Chengming's head throbbed even more whenever he saw Hai Shengyang.

She was afraid that Hai Shengyang would still pester her and insist on entering the Lin family.

He might have agreed before, but now he shouldn't even think about it.

"Father!" Hai Shengyang suddenly burst into tears, feeling wronged. She had always been a favored daughter of heaven, and her talent in the capital was second to none.

But why did she have to come to Huaizhou City, to Lin Yunche's eyes, and become nothing?

Hai Chengming was taken aback. He had rarely seen Hai Shengyang so sad since she had become sensible.

"My daughter! Shall we leave Huaizhou City?"

Hai Shengyang was unwilling to give up, but at this moment he knew he couldn't let himself hang himself on this one tree.

"Alright! Father, send me back to the capital!" She wanted to re-plan her marriage.

Hai Chengming didn't expect Hai Shengyang to agree so readily this time, and he sighed softly.

"It's good to let go! It's good to let go!"

"The Lin family is ultimately a place of trouble. If Lin Yunche has no intention of protecting you, do you know what your fate will be?"

Hai Shengyang nodded, "Father, I understand. I was confused before."

Hai Chengming finally saw something that made him happy today, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright! Stop standing in the yard!"

"Let's pack up properly these next two days, and once we've seen the Prince of Huai off, we'll set off."

"Ok!"

Meanwhile, inside the century-old medical clinic, Bai Wanqing sat at her desk, pen and paper in hand, motionless. Her mind kept replaying the scene of Lin Yunche and Hai Shengyang returning to the Hai family home, a bitter feeling welling up inside her.

Bai Wanqing! My husband just had something to discuss with Miss Hai. She is Lord Hai's daughter. Even if they have some interaction, isn't that normal?
How can such a small thing make you so upset?

Bai Wanqing shook her head, about to pick up her pen, when the image of Lin Yunche telling her to bring Hai Shengyang into the house appeared before her eyes again.

Only when a drop of ink fell on the paper, staining a large area, did Bai Wanqing slowly put down her pen, pick up the stained paper, and sigh softly.

So caring can make you anxious and insecure!

Ruixin was arranging the medicinal herbs on the side. She had noticed that her mistress seemed a little absent-minded earlier. Now that she was sure, she put down the herbs and brought Bai Wanqing a cup of tea.

"Madam, have you encountered some difficulties? You seem to be preoccupied."

Ruixin asked with concern.

Bai Wanqing put down the paper in her hand and said leisurely, "Difficulties? They're not really difficulties."

"only."

Bai Wanqing suddenly realized that if she were to leave the Lin family now, she would find herself unable to say such things.

"Just what?" Ruixin asked.

Bai Wanqing came to her senses and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that the medicine cabinet in the clinic has already had an incident once, so we need to make up for it again this time."

"Otherwise, if there really is a problem with our medicine in the future, it would be terrible if we prescribed it to patients."

Ruixin nodded slightly. It turned out that the lady was troubled by the clinic's regulations.

"Madam, why don't we consult with Doctor Zheng and Doctor Liu together?"

"Many hands make light work; perhaps they have some good ideas?"

Bai Wanqing softly hummed in agreement. "Okay, I'll listen to Ruixin."

Bai Wanqing stood up and, with her initial ideas in mind, sought out Doctor Zheng and Doctor Liu to revise the regulations for managing the medicine cabinet.

In the future, if the medicinal materials of the century-old medical clinic want to be sold, they must go through three rounds of inspection.

"Isn't this going to be a bit too much trouble!" Doctor Liu had worked in the clinic for almost his entire life. Although the problem with the medicine was this time, wasn't that what the owner told Doctor Wang to do?

Now that the Fang family's clinic has closed down, patients from all over the city are flocking to the century-old clinic for treatment. They are even busier today because of their reopening.

"Boss, we don't have enough people!"

Bai Wanqing looked at the organized plan and said, "If it's not enough, we can hire people."

"The Fang family clinic closed down, which conveniently created a lot of vacancies for doctors."

“We can ask them for help.”

"In this way, every medicine sold in our clinic will pass through the hands of the doctor, the medicine boy, and the shopkeeper. With these three guarantees, at least in terms of medicinal materials, our clinic will not have any major problems in the future."

Seeing that his employer was determined, Doctor Liu had no choice but to agree.

Unlike Dr. Liu, Dr. Zheng felt it was necessary. "Boss, when I have time later, I will work with everyone to further improve the regulations."

"We've compiled all of this into regulations, including patient information records, medical records, and prescription filings, so that even if we cough up something in the future, we'll have a legal basis for our actions."

Bai Wanqing thought the suggestion was excellent, "Then Dr. Zheng, please take care of this matter in the future."

Dr. Zheng chuckled sheepishly, "Yes! Yes!"

Looking at the thoughts the two young people were having, Dr. Liu suddenly felt old.

But so what if he's old? He's still not ready to give up.

When Bai Wanqing finished her work, she noticed that the sun was almost setting, but the number of patients in the clinic had not decreased.

"Dr. Zheng, these past few days, patients from the Fang family have also come over."

"The number of people at our clinic has surged."

"We can prioritize emergency treatment for patients with severe conditions, and allow patients with milder conditions to wait a day or two."

"No, I'll find the doctors from the Fang family tomorrow and give them a free medical consultation."

Dr. Zheng knew that his employer was broad-minded, but he still felt a little awkward when he mentioned the Fang family.

"Alright! Master, don't worry about this matter. I'll talk to the Fang family's doctors tomorrow."

"What about the consultation fee and medicine for the free clinic?"

“We’ll go.” Bai Wanqing didn’t want the former doctor from the Fang family to stand against the people of Huaizhou City.

They are doctors, and they are also people who take orders. Bai Wanqing has always known that these people will act differently under different leaders.

Free medical consultation! That's to prove this!

Dr. Zheng couldn't fathom what Bai Wanqing was thinking; he simply assumed she wanted to do good deeds.

Now, he wholeheartedly supports whatever his employer wants to do.

After explaining the last few things, Bai Wanqing finally decided to leave the clinic. The sun had long since disappeared from the sky, and only the faint starlight could be seen.

"Madam, I didn't expect it to get dark so quickly!"

"Let's hurry back now, Fengniang must have prepared something delicious for us!"

Ruixin was eager to return home.

Bai Wanqing looked up at the sky and gazed at the bright moon, a sense of loneliness rising in her heart.

"Ruixin, how about you come for a walk with me?"

"My wife wants to leave! Shall I go with you?"

Bai Wanqing turned her head and looked at Lin Yunche, who was standing by the clinic at some point, smiling at her. She was slightly surprised.

Why is he here!
