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

Chapter 199 Let him come over
"Dr. Liu, you don't need to be so polite. I will help if I can," Bai Wanqing said softly, gesturing for Dr. Liu to get up quickly.

Cui Jingcheng looked at Bai Wanqing with starry eyes.

Dr. Liu glanced at Cui Jingcheng out of the corner of his eye, knowing that he couldn't be counted on.

So he personally told Bai Wanqing what he had said to Doctor Luo the day before.

"Dr. Bai, Physician Luo refuses to examine General Cui. Please help me by intervening."

Bai Wanqing frowned slightly, "Grandmaster Luo didn't say he wouldn't!"

"Dr. Liu, you must have made a mistake!"

Dr. Liu was taken aback. "That's right! Yesterday, Doctor Luo clearly told the two of us that he wasn't going."

Cui Jingcheng nodded in agreement, "That's what they said."

Bai Wanqing understood, "Grandmaster Luo means that he will not go, but Lord Cui can come."

"If he comes, Grandmaster will definitely treat him."

Dr. Liu and Cui Jingcheng exchanged a glance. Good, good! This old man Luo has been teasing them ever since they met yesterday.

"If we send Lord Cui to Huaizhou City, will he be able to get away?" Doctor Liu turned to ask Cui Jingcheng.

Cui Jingcheng nodded, "I can get away with it. My father was just impeached a couple of days ago."

"Now that I'm currently unemployed, I'll write to him and ask him to come here."

After finishing his speech, Cui Jingcheng clasped his hands in thanks to Bai Wanqing.

"Here, I would like to express my gratitude to Wanqing on behalf of my father."

Cui Jingcheng called out to Wanqing again, but Bai Wanqing did not reprimand him.

The matter was settled just like that. Cui Jingcheng was about to go back to the inn to write a letter, but Doctor Liu stopped him.

"We're here today to help Dr. Bai."

"It's not a good time to leave!"

Cui Jingcheng said "Oh," turned to Bai Wanqing with a sweet smile, and then picked up the grinding tool again to grind the medicinal herbs.

Bai Wanqing stared blankly at Cui Jingcheng, muttering to herself: "Grandmaster, although he has an eccentric personality, he has always been moderate in his jokes. Why has he been joking with this Cui Jingcheng without stopping?"

Now they're even forcing Cui Jingcheng's father to come.
Bai Wanqing thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so she simply put the matter aside and went back to her work on the free clinic.

The streets of Huaizhou City were bustling as the sun set.

At that moment, Hai Daren was holding a bowl of bitter medicine and gulping it down his throat.

"Ouch! Ouch! I've had diarrhea for two days now!"

"I've lost so much weight, how can I stop my diarrhea?"

The doctor standing in front of Hai Daren was sweating profusely. "Sir, your anthrax infection is really severe. It won't get better with just one or two days of medicine."

"It will probably take some more time to recover before he can return to normal."

Hai Daren looked unconvinced and slammed the medicine bowl down on the table.

"Still need recuperation?"

"If this continues, forget about recuperation, I'll die here."

The doctor, standing not far away, dared not look up and spoke tremblingly.

"Dr. Hai, your illness has indeed come on very suddenly!"

"It's difficult to cure. Why don't you go to the century-old medical clinic and ask Doctor Luo for help?"

"Perhaps he has a quick way to stop your diarrhea as soon as possible."

After the doctor finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Hai Chengming looked at him for a long time, then sighed helplessly, "Alright! I understand."

"You go first."

After Hai Chengming dismissed the doctor, he rushed to the washroom and squatted there for an hour before finally emerging.

However, at this moment his legs went weak, and it seemed that he was about to collapse to the ground, which frightened the servants of the Hai family who rushed over to help him.

"Master, are you all right?"

Hai Chengming gritted his teeth, "Are you alright? Am I alright?"

Hai Chengming was too weak at this point, and he stopped mid-sentence, too lazy to pay attention to the servant's inappropriate behavior.

"Go! Go now! Bring Meng Zhan here for me."

When the servants heard that their master was looking for Meng Zhan instead of Prefect Lin, they all stood there dumbfounded.

Hai Shengyang, who had just heard the news, strode over and said, "If I tell you to go, then go."

"Stop making my father talk nonsense. If he gets tired of it, he'll hold you accountable."

The servants of the Hai family were more afraid of Miss Hai than Master Hai himself.

Upon hearing Hai Shengyang's words, the steward immediately sent someone over.

Hai Shengyang helped Hai Chengming back to the house and sat him on the bed.

"Father, it's all my fault for dragging you down," Hai Shengyang said sadly with a bitter face. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to go through all this."

Seeing Hai Shengyang's frightened and pitiful appearance, Hai Chengming felt pity for him even though he was physically unwell.

"Shengyang, this has nothing to do with you."

"it's not your fault."

"How can it not be my fault? If I hadn't insisted on coming to Huaizhou City..."

"Father didn't have to suffer like this."

After Hai Shengyang finished speaking, tears streamed down his face, and Hai Chengming, feeling sorry for him, quickly wiped them away with his hand.

"My dear daughter! That's just how officialdom is!"

"Given our family's current position, many things are inevitable."

“Even if I don’t come to Huaizhou City now, I will come eventually.”

"If you come here, you will meet Lin Yunche, and you will also meet the people of the Prince of Huai."

"It's not your fault, daughter."

Hai Chengming was exhausted after speaking so much in one breath.

Hai Shengyang wiped away his tears and said to Hai Chengming, "Father, I'll speak with Lord Meng when he arrives."

"I understand your idea."

Hai Chengming did not refuse and nodded slightly. Meng Zhan arrived quickly; he had heard that Lord Hai had summoned him, and he dared not delay.

But as soon as he entered the Hai family home, the family's steward led him to see Hai Shengyang.

Meng Zhan's expression changed slightly. "Miss Hai, where is Lord Hai?"

"My father is ill, so let's discuss this matter between you and Lord Meng today. What do you think?"

Meng Zhan dared not refuse. "Miss Hai, you're too kind. Just tell me what you need."

Hai Shengyang was worried about his father's health, so he asked him directly.

"I heard that Madam Meng had a difficult childbirth, and it was only after Doctor Luo and Madam Lin arrived that her life was saved. Is this true?"

Meng Zhan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Miss Hai is right about what she heard."

"My wife was indeed saved by Doctor Luo and Madam Lin."

"I didn't know Miss Hai was asking about this, is that right?"

Hai Shengyang smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking. After all, I've only heard of such amazing medical skills in rumors, and I just want to confirm whether it's true."

Meng Zhan was relieved, and the smile on his face relaxed considerably.

"That's right, it really happened."

Unfortunately, the title of Doctor Luo has nothing to do with the Lin family anymore.

But Meng Zhan did not reveal this regret.

Hai Shengyang breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "When the Meng family asked Doctor Luo for treatment, did Doctor Luo make any requests?"

"Or rather, how can Doctor Luo make house calls?"

Meng Zhan finally understood completely; he had known yesterday that Lord Hai was ill.

However, he thought that Lord Hai was like Lin Yunche, just trying to avoid seeing the Prince of Huai's people, but he didn't expect that he was really sick.

"At that time, we just went next door to call Doctor Luo."

"As for what conditions Doctor Luo proposed..."

"I don't have any recollection of it."

Meng Zhan was embarrassed to say that when he arrived, his mother had tried to stop Liu Feifei from having a cesarean section.

The mother and son were still plotting how to kill Liu Feifei and her unborn child.

They had no time to care how Liu Feifei had managed to invite Bai Wanqing and Doctor Luo.

However, according to what he later heard from the servants, it was Xiao Cui who went to the Lin family to fetch the person, so it's unlikely that a maid would offer anything good in exchange.

Therefore, he concluded that inviting Doctor Luo was simply a matter of Bai Wanqing saying a word.

Hearing that the Meng family had so easily invited Doctor Luo, Hai Shengyang felt relieved.

"Is there anything else Lord Meng would like to remind us of?" Hai Shengyang asked softly.

Since Meng Zhan first met this Miss Hai, he has never shown her such a pleasant expression.

At that moment, he felt elated. "See?" he thought. "No matter how high an official's rank is, there will come a day when they have to bow down to me."

"Have!"

"Of course."

Meng Zhan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "This tea is excellent; it's so refreshing!"

Hai Shengyang's eyes stiffened slightly, but he still responded in a good-natured manner, "Since Lord Meng likes it, why don't I have the maid pack some for you later?"

"You can savor it slowly when you get back."

Meng Zhan nodded slightly. "That's good then."

"However, Miss Hai, I have also heard that Lord Hai has collected some calligraphy works."

"I don't know."

Hai Shengyang was furious at Meng Zhan's increasingly arrogant attitude.

Her father is still alive, and a mere magistrate dares to be so disrespectful. Once her father recovers, she will definitely not let him get away with this man surnamed Meng.

Meng Zhan could tell that Hai Shengyang was really anxious.

He smiled and said, "Miss Hai, there's no need to rush. I was just asking; I didn't mean to ask for anything."

Hai Shengyang looked at him with disbelief, "Then what was the thing Lord Meng was supposed to pay attention to just now?"

Meng Zhan would naturally not offend Hai Chengming and Hai Shengyang now.

He stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hai Shengyang, and solemnly said, "To get Grandmaster Luo to make a house call, it's simple in some ways, and difficult in others, but there's only one problem."

"What is it?"

"As long as Madam Lin agrees, Bai Wanqing will be satisfied."

Hai Shengyang's expression changed when he heard Bai Wanqing's name. Did he want her to beg that woman?

"I understand, thank you, Lord Meng."

Hai Shengyang stood up, curtsied to Meng Zhan, and Meng Zhan felt much more at ease. That's more like it. She's just an official's wife, always so arrogant. He, on the other hand, is still an official.

Meng Zhan was in a great mood after leaving the Hai family.

He even forgot whether the two men from the Prince of Huai were still alive!

When Bi Yi returned to the yamen and found it empty, he found it rather strange.

"What about those two people from His Highness Prince Huai?"

"Didn't you come today?"

Meng Zhan then remembered, "That's right, no one has come since yesterday."

"Could they have already gone back?"

Neither Bi Yi nor Meng Zhan wanted to have any contact with the Prince of Huai's people, so they had no choice but to go back as a couple.

But in reality, Cao Zhe and Ma Yu had just finished another humiliating meal.

Cao Zhe could no longer tolerate this way of trampling on his self-esteem.

He scribbled two words on the ground with his feet, "Seeking an audience!" He frantically hummed them for Feng Niang to see.

Fengniang examined the words on the ground for a while, then copied the two awkwardly written characters onto a piece of paper and took it out.

When Cao Zhe saw the two characters she had copied, he cursed inwardly: Who would recognize them if you wrote them like that!

Done!Done!
