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

Chapter 208 Let them go

After Dr. Zheng finished speaking, he carefully observed Bai Wanqing's expression.

She remained calm and composed, without a trace of anger.

"Besides Doctor Yang, is there anyone else?" Bai Wanqing asked.

Since Dr. Zheng had already brought up the topic, he naturally wouldn't hide anything from her.

"And...and Dr. Xu!"

Both Doctor Yang and Doctor Xu were originally doctors who ran their own clinics in Huaizhou City and were quite well-known in the city.

It was only because the Fang family was too domineering that their clinic couldn't continue operating, so they had no choice but to close it down.
Now that the Fang family is gone, their doctors can start their own practice, and they naturally have the idea of ​​reopening their clinics.

Ruixin, who was listening from the side, felt furious.

These people were desperate and had nowhere else to turn, but the lady kindly allowed them to stay.

The Fang family has only just fallen from grace, and they're already thinking about leaving.

In fact, it wasn't just Ruixin who thought this way; Dr. Zheng thought the same thing.

What did they say when they begged me for help? And now, in just a few short months...
Dr. Zheng found their behavior utterly shameful.

"Master, how about I talk to them? Our clinic is in dire need of manpower right now. If the Fang family clinic closes down, all our patients will be coming to our clinic."

"No need. If they want to leave, just release them."

Dr. Zheng felt somewhat resentful, "If we agree to Dr. Yang and Dr. Xu's terms, what about the other doctors?"

"Those who want to leave, can leave."

"If the clinic is short-staffed, I can just talk to Master Luo."

Doctor Zheng sighed. The owner was too kind-hearted. However, with Doctor Luo around, the century-old clinic would certainly not lack doctors.

"Alright! Let's do as the employer says."

So, a few days after the free clinic ended, four doctors left the century-old medical clinic, and medical clinics in Huaizhou City sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Because of a shortage of manpower, Doctor Luo completely recruited Doctor Liu.

Bai Wanqing stood at the entrance of the clinic, gazing absently at the newly opened clinics all over the street.

Cui Jingcheng felt a pang of heartache looking at Bai Wanqing like this. "What's wrong? Are you worried?"

"Actually, you don't need to worry. The century-old medical clinic has Doctor Luo in charge."

"No matter how fast other clinics work, they can't match your reputation."

"I know!"

Cui Jingcheng was surprised, "You know that, yet you're still so melancholy?"

Bai Wanqing withdrew her gaze and smiled gently, "I'm just worried about their business!"

Cui Jingcheng almost stumbled over his own tongue, then rolled his eyes.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Just then, a servant boy suddenly ran over from not far away.

He immediately grabbed Cui Jingcheng's leg and said, "Young Master! I've missed you so much these past few days."

Cui Jingcheng was taken aback when he saw the servant beside him, then excitement flashed in his eyes.

"How did you come?"

"Has Father arrived too?"

The servant nodded hurriedly, "The Marquis has arrived too!"

“They went to the inn they had booked first, and when they found that you weren’t there, they sent me out to look for you.”

Cui Jingcheng immediately pulled the servant up.

"Great!"

"Wanqing, how about we have dinner together today?"

Seeing Cui Jingcheng's happy expression, Bai Wanqing shook her head and said, "Your family is just having a reunion, so I won't go."

"I will speak with my master in advance today. You can bring the Marquis directly to the clinic tomorrow."

Cui Jingcheng was somewhat disappointed that Wanqing wouldn't go, but he still smiled and said it.

"Okay! See you tomorrow."

Cui Jingcheng watched Bai Wanqing's figure walk backwards into the distance.

The servant who followed Cui Jingcheng had never seen his young master treat anyone so well.

Even his own sisters in the Marquis's mansion had never seen the young master act like this before!
"Master! Master!"

"We've already turned the corner, and we can't see that lady anymore."

"Please turn around quickly."

Cui Jingcheng then stopped smiling, turned around, and reverted to his usual arrogant and dissolute demeanor.

"Young master, who is that lady?"

"You mean Wanqing? She's the owner of a century-old medical clinic."

The owner of the clinic, a young servant, understood why their young master was being so obsequious; it turned out it was all for the old marquis's illness.

But after thinking it over, the servant realized something was wrong. When had their young master ever been so obedient?

In the past, let alone for the sake of the old Marquis, no one would have allowed him to do this!
The two walked for a quarter of an hour before returning to the inn, where Cui Jingcheng went directly to pay his respects to Lord Cui.

"Father! Father!"

Cui Jingcheng pushed open the door and rushed inside. Inside, Lord Cui was sitting at the table drinking tea.

He was used to his youngest son's recklessness, so he just rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Why are you still so unruly?"

Cui Jingcheng simply bowed and smiled, "Father, hasn't it been a long time since I've seen you?"

"I miss it so much, that's why I'm in such a hurry."

Lord Cui merely snorted softly, "I heard you've been helping out at the clinic these past few days?"

"So busy that you didn't even have time to go out of the city to pick up your father when he arrived?" Cui Jingcheng dared not admit that he had long forgotten about his father. He immediately explained with a wronged expression, "Father, we invited a miracle doctor this time."

"If your son isn't there to arrange for a miracle doctor to treat you, how can he possibly treat you!"

Lord Cui thought it made sense, "I didn't expect that you've made so much progress since you came out here, Jingcheng."

Cui Jingcheng grinned, "For Father's health, I naturally need to improve."

The father and son chatted about what Cui Jingcheng had seen and heard in Huaizhou City. When Lord Cui heard about the Bai family, his eyelids twitched.

But seeing that Cui Jingcheng's expression was unchanged, he didn't say anything more.

"Alright, it's getting late!"

"Let's order some food, eat, and then rest well."

Cui Jingcheng immediately instructed his men to order food from the inn. The father and son had a simple meal and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After watching his father's room close, Cui Jingcheng sighed deeply.

Some things are probably things we'll have to face sooner or later.

While Lord Cui and his group settled smoothly into the inn, the Hai family was thrown into turmoil by a bolt from the blue.

Hai Daren was originally bedridden at home, but he has improved a lot in the past few days after taking the medicine from the miracle doctor.

But after all this trouble, Hai Daren's health has deteriorated considerably, and he spends most of his time in bed.

"Master, Master!" The butler rushed into Hai Chengming's room in a hurry.

Hai Chengming immediately frowned and growled, "What are you doing! What are you doing, in such a hurry?"

"Sir, the angel from Kyoto has arrived and is waiting for you at the door."

Hai Chengming was stunned as soon as the butler finished speaking.
Kyoto? Angels? What are they doing here? He only took a few days off.
Hai Chengming was completely bewildered, but he certainly didn't dare to neglect the angel from Kyoto.

He immediately had his maid change his clothes, and after a quick wash, he went to pay his respects to the angel from the capital.

He was stunned as soon as he entered the front hall. How could it be Lord Cheng from the Censorate?

What mistake did he make that gave the Censorate something to hold against him?
Hai Chengming was still feeling uneasy, but Cheng asked him questions first when he saw him.

"Lord Hai, you don't look too well. Are you feeling any better?"

Hai Chengming cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Cheng. I have already passed the critical period."

Lord Cheng, with his hands behind his back, said meaningfully, "Lord Hai certainly needs to take good care of his health."

"There are many places that need Ocean University graduates these days."

Hai Daren was already cursing in his heart; being approached by the Censorate was never going to be good.

The two officials, each with their own thoughts, took their seats. Just as Lord Cheng was about to state his purpose, Butler Hai rushed in again.

"My lord! My lord! I..."

Steward Hai was panicking! But what could he do? The messenger said that if they didn't tell Lord Hai about this soon, the Hai family would be finished.

It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not!

Hai Chengming glared angrily at Butler Hai, "Didn't you see I was about to discuss business with Lord Cheng?"

"How can you behave so recklessly?"

"Go and collect your punishment in a moment!"

Hai Chengming growled, and Butler Hai simply responded, but didn't move his feet.

Lord Cheng smiled and said, "Lord Hai, I'm not in a hurry here. Why don't you see if there's anything more urgent?"

Hai Chengming smiled awkwardly and led Butler Hai to the side hall.

"what happened!"

"When did you become so unruly?"

Hai Chengming was clearly annoyed. Butler Hai immediately took out the letter he had just received, his hands still trembling.

"Look at you! You've been in our house for over ten years now!"

"He hasn't improved at all."

Hai Chengming angrily took the letter, quickly opened it, and couldn't hold back any longer. His legs went weak, and he leaned backward.

Fortunately, Butler Hai was nearby and caught Hai Chengming with his hand, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Hai Chengming felt like he couldn't breathe, and the housekeeper reached out and patted Hai Chengming's chest.

Hai Chengming finally caught his breath.

"Who gave this to you?" Hai Chengming asked, his voice trembling.

The housekeeper shook his head.

"Didn't you see it clearly?" Hai Chengming almost roared.

"No, sir. The man left very quickly. He only said that this matter concerned the life and death of your family and that I must deliver it to you immediately. I didn't have time to ask anything else before he left."

Hai Chengming closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, and thought of Lord Cheng sitting outside.

"Alright, alright, you can go now!"

Hai Chengming tucked the letter into his pocket with trembling hands; he hadn't yet figured out what to do about it.

We mustn't let Lord Cheng notice anything amiss. If the Censorate finds something wrong with him, he'll be in deep trouble.

Hai Chengming adjusted his expression and calmly walked back to the front hall.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry to have kept Lord Cheng waiting. I was just dealing with some family matters."

"I was in a bit of a rush, so I had no choice."

Lord Cheng stared intently at Hai Chengming, who felt a little guilty and unconsciously looked away.

"Lord Hai, the reason I've come here is to have a detailed discussion with you about the matter you submitted regarding the case of the Prince of Huai."

"Lord Hai, this is a matter of great importance, you can't be careless about it!"
