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

Chapter 210 Forced onto a Boat
Hai Chengming was no match for Lin Yunche's strength. He had barely raised his fist when Lin Yunche broke free, causing Hai Chengming to stumble.

"Dr. Hai, what's wrong with you? What do you mean I'm not mine?!"

Lin Yunche looked at Hai Chengming with a puzzled expression, and casually straightened the collar that Hai Chengming had tugged at.

Hai Chengming regained some of his composure at this point.

Yes! He has no evidence whatsoever. Even if he confronts Lin Yunche directly, as long as Lin Yunche denies it to the death, what can he do?
But now he finally made up his mind.

“You don’t have to resign if you’re going to the Northern Dynasty!” Hai Chengming had already returned to normal, showing no trace of his earlier anger.

"Oh? Does Lord Hai have any better ideas?" Lin Yunche asked bluntly.

Hai Chengming rubbed his temples, feeling like he'd been tricked by Lin Yunche again.

Everyone knows that the Lin family's relationship with the emperor is delicate. If he suddenly resigns and goes to the Northern Dynasty, the emperor could easily use the Lin family's past betrayal as a pretext to wipe them out.

That's why they set up this trap to get him involved.

Why bring him in? Just to cover for this bastard.

Hai Chengming now fully understands his own worth! But he's already on this pirate ship, does he want to get off?

He has no say in anything.

"Don't you have a wife at home who is skilled in medicine?"

"Why don't you ask her to think of a solution for you?"

Hai Chengming had already made his point clear enough; what else could Lin Yunche not understand?

"Then I thank Lord Hai in advance!"

Lin Yunche cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Hai Chengming, who, feeling his hands and feet were now ice-cold, impatiently waved his hand, and Lin Yunche finally withdrew.

"I never imagined! I never imagined that I would one day fall into the hands of the Lin family."

Hai Chengming sighed silently.

Meanwhile, Cui Jingcheng arrived at Lord Cui's room early to call his father.

"Father, Father, are you awake yet!"

Cui Jingcheng was used to being disrespectful at home, and everyone, from his servants to the servants of Lord Cui, was used to his way of doing things.

So now, when they see him knocking on the Marquis's door early in the morning, everyone is used to it.

Lord Cui was still wearing his undergarments. He opened the door with a slight anger on his face, and looked at his son standing at the door with a smile on his face, but he was helpless.

"What are you doing so early?" Lord Cui didn't seem to be in good spirits. Perhaps it was because he had been traveling and changing places for the past few days, and he had barely slept at all last night.

Cui Jingcheng immediately had the servant behind him bring in breakfast.

"Father, it's already broad daylight outside, it's not early at all!"

"Moreover, Wanqing said that we should get up earlier in the morning and eat breakfast on time."

"Such a regular lifestyle will make our bodies stronger; it's a good habit."

Cui Jingcheng continued.

Lord Cui's expression darkened slightly. "My Jingcheng has indeed made some progress."

“If you put all that effort into your studies, I would be even more gratified.”

Cui Jingcheng had never liked studying since he was a child, and now that his father was talking about his studies again, he had no choice but to agree.

"Father, come and have breakfast. After you've eaten, we'll hurry to the clinic."

Cui Jingcheng pulled Lord Cui to sit directly at the table.

Lord Cui frowned and asked, "So you're in such a hurry?"

"You've been trying so hard to please them these past few days, haven't you gained any face at all?"

Cui Jingcheng pouted and shook his head, "If we're talking about Wanqing's face, I've definitely earned it, but if we're talking about Doctor Luo's face, I can't earn it."

"So Father, you should eat quickly so we can go earlier and not upset Doctor Luo Shen."

Lord Cui raised an eyebrow. He had watched Cui Jingcheng grow up since he was a child, and he knew his thoughts all too well.

What kind of miracle doctor is he! What's with all the anger? It's all because of that daughter of the Bai family.

"Jingcheng, are you...?" Lord Cui knew how to ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

Cui Jingcheng's mouth was full of food, as if he didn't understand what his father was saying.

"What is it?" Cui Jingcheng looked at Lord Cui with innocent eyes.

Lord Cui shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing! It's nothing!"

"Let's eat quickly."

The father and son then quietly finished their breakfast. Without delay, Cui Jingcheng had his servant prepare the carriage.

Lord Cui had just finished changing his clothes, and the father and son immediately went to the clinic.

When the father and son arrived, all the doctors in the clinic had already seen the first batch of patients.

Cui Jingcheng proudly spoke to his father behind him.

"See, I told you it was getting late."

"The reputation of this century-old medical clinic is not just for show."

Lord Cui neither agreed nor disagreed, and followed him to the backyard of the century-old medical clinic.

The quiet here contrasted sharply with the hustle and bustle of the front hall, where a woman was quietly grinding medicine.

As soon as Cui Jingcheng saw Bai Wanqing, he skipped and hopped to her side.

"Wanqing, I've brought my father!"

"And why are you doing this work? Has Dr. Liu been slacking off again?"

As he spoke, Cui Jingcheng reached out and snatched the medicine grinder from Bai Wanqing's hand.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" They eagerly took over the task.

Lord Cui's expression turned sour at the sight before him, especially when he met Bai Wanqing's face!

Not only was Lord Cui's expression unpleasant, but even the other servants in the Cui family changed their expressions upon seeing this. When had their young master ever done such rough work at home?

Not to mention that this young master is a little devil at home.

Why is he suddenly being so attentive to a woman? If this woman is an unmarried girl, they would think that the young master has taken a fancy to her.

It's also acceptable to be experiencing the first stirrings of love.

However, the woman in front of him was clearly a married woman.

The young master of the household was fawning over a woman like this.
Suddenly, all the servants of the Cui family had tears in their eyes. Lord Cui glared at the servants behind him, and Old Man Zhao, who had been by Lord Cui's side for many years, wiped away his tears and murmured.

"Young Master has grown up!"

"Master, the young master has really gone to great lengths for you!"

Lord Cui's face showed no joy whatsoever; instead, it grew even more somber.

Bai Wanqing also noticed the Marquis's expression. Although she found it strange, she couldn't figure it out.

"My Lord!" Bai Wanqing bowed in accordance with proper etiquette.

Lord Cui snapped out of his daze and forced a smile. "Madam Lin."

Bai Wanqing smiled and behaved impeccably throughout the entire process, showing no signs of being the uncultured daughter of a country gentleman.

"My master has been waiting for you, my lord, for quite some time. Please follow me."

After Bai Wanqing finished speaking, she made a gesture of invitation.

Lord Cui nodded slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble Madam Lin."

Seeing Bai Wanqing and her father enter the back room, Cui Jingcheng was naturally unwilling to fall behind, so he quickly stood up and followed.

However, the servants of the Cui family wisely stopped in their tracks.

"With the young master with you, the Marquis will be fine."

Uncle Zhao murmured with red eyes, and the others, also moved, echoed his sentiments.

The three entered the house and were immediately struck by the books scattered all over the floor.

The divine physician Luo was searching through medical books, but it was unclear what she was looking for.

"Grandmaster! The Marquis has arrived!" Bai Wanqing gently reminded him.

Doctor Luo brushed aside the hair that was blocking her face, then suddenly looked up and sized up Lord Cui.

At first, he just observed from a distance, but gradually, he moved closer.

They practically pressed themselves against Lord Cui's body to look at him.

Lord Cui had heard of Doctor Luo's eccentric nature, but he never imagined it would be this eccentric.

"Dr. Luo, my name is Cui Minran, and I have come to request your medical assistance."

Lord Cui respectfully bowed to Doctor Luo with clasped hands.

Sometimes it's like that; no matter what power or status you have, a miracle doctor is worth more than a life.

The divine physician Luo did not seem to pay much attention to Lord Cui's thoughtfulness.

He simply shifted his gaze from observing Lord Cui alone to observing both Lord Cui and Cui Jingcheng.

Cui Jingcheng was thick-skinned and didn't care about being stared at at all.

Lord Cui, however, was somewhat unsteady on his feet and could only cough awkwardly twice before explaining the purpose of his visit.

Doctor Luo then stepped back, saying, "I understand! I understand!"

“I’m not deaf yet. I heard everything you just said.”

Doctor Luo's tone was not pleasant, and Lord Cui's face flushed red.

"Grandmaster! The Marquis has come from afar this time, you should take a look at him quickly!"

Bai Wanqing stepped in to help, and Cui Jingcheng looked at her with gratitude.

As expected, Doctor Luo did not make things difficult for Lord Cui. Instead, she gestured for him to sit down and then personally took his pulse.

Cui Jingcheng was very quiet at this moment. He held his breath and watched as Doctor Luo placed his fingers on his father's wrist.

"Don't be nervous!" Bai Wanqing's gentle voice sounded behind Cui Jingcheng.

Cui Jingcheng's body, which had been stiff, relaxed considerably.

Time seemed to pass very slowly. Lord Cui, a man of great composure, remained in one position for a long time, but as long as Doctor Luo did not remove his hand, he dared not move.

Bai Wanqing had never seen her grandmaster like this before, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

But no one interrupted Master Luo as he took the Marquis's pulse.

The consultation lasted for an hour, and Lord Cui was already feeling weak and drenched in sweat.

He was about to give up when, thankfully, Doctor Luo finally withdrew his hand.

Then he opened his mouth and yawned.

"Sorry, I fell asleep just now."

The words of Doctor Luo made Lord Cui's face turn green instantly. Just as he was about to lash out, his son quickly held him down.

"Father! Father, the divine doctor is old, please don't blame him."

Although Cui Jingcheng said that, he already understood in his heart.

It was just like when he and Doctor Liu first met Doctor Luo at Wanqing's house; he was playing a trick on them again.

After being reminded by Cui Jingcheng, Lord Cui could only suppress his temper.

"Dr. Luo, is there any cure for my illness?"

As soon as Lord Cui asked this question, everyone in the room turned their attention to Doctor Luo.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Luo shook his head.

Lord Cui felt as if he had fallen into hell. Could it be that even the Divine Physician Luo could not cure him?
