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

Chapter 77 You've got the wrong person.
After Furong married into the Du family, no one visited Bai Wanqing's courtyard anymore, and Bai Wanqing felt a bit lonely for a while.

"Ruixin, have you packed everything? Let's go to the clinic in a bit." Bai Wanqing already knew what happened at the Du family's wedding banquet from Furong. Du Huan was too reckless. They actually let their grandmaster make a scene. This commotion disrupted their banquet.

However, the Du family didn't pay much attention to it, but the Bai family girl's reputation became better and better. Before, her third uncle's daughter had been asked to marry into several families, but it didn't work out. After the Du family's banquet, several families took the initiative to come to propose marriage.

This finally relieved Bai Wanqing, but she didn't know if Meng Zhan and Liu Feifei would blame the Bai family for this.

Bai Wanqing thought this way because she knew what kind of people Liu Feifei and Meng Zhan were.

After returning from the Du family banquet, Meng Zhan's attitude towards Liu Feifei became lukewarm, which made Liu Feifei feel extremely wronged. Finally, after they returned to Huaizhou, they had a fierce argument.

"What's the point of your attitude towards me now? In the end, isn't this all your fault?!" Liu Feifei cried and shouted. You see, since she was born, her father has been an official. No matter which family she attended a banquet, she had to give him some face. She had never suffered such humiliation and grievance. So she attributed all the humiliation and grievance to Meng Zhan's incompetence.

Meng Zhan was also looking disheveled. He had heard what the neighbors were saying when they left Huai'an County. As an official, he couldn't stand such gossip. "Swearing! All you do is swear! I told you not to take me, but you insisted on coming. Now look what's happened, everyone knows about our little affair."

Liu Feifei never expected that Meng Zhan, who was always so accommodating and good-tempered towards her, would contradict her. Why did she go? Wasn't it because of that person in Huai'an County? Others might not know what Meng Zhan was thinking, but how could she not?

"Trivial matters? Meng Lang, what do you mean by that?" Liu Feifei glared at Meng Zhan, disregarding her pregnant belly, and asked imposingly.

Meng Zhan knew Liu Feifei's temper; if he spoke again, the matter would never end. "It's not a big deal. Let's just leave it at that. It's already like this, so let's not talk about it anymore."

Meng Zhan was extremely annoyed. He had to be mindful of his father-in-law's feelings in everything he did in Huaizhou Prefecture. Now that so many people knew about this matter, he didn't know if his father-in-law would be furious. He was also worried about his reputation as an official here. He was really having a huge headache.

Meng Zhan made a fool of himself at the banquet, but Master Huang met Doctor Luo at the banquet.

He now visits the century-old clinic every day to see Doctor Luo, hoping that Doctor Luo can cure his hidden ailment. But Doctor Luo's temper is eccentric. Master Huang has already visited four or five times with gifts. In Master Huang's mind, it's almost enough to persuade the Sleeping Dragon to come out of seclusion, but Doctor Luo just won't budge, refusing him with excuses such as not being at the clinic or not seeing patients that day.
This caused Master Huang great distress! Fortunately, his servant gave him an idea.

"Master, why don't you try going to the Bai family's daughter?" the servant whispered in Master Huang's ear.

Master Huang knew that Master Luo had taken Bai Wanqing and Bai Furong as his grand-disciples, but he had not taken Bai Qinglian as his grand-disciple!

"Would it be of any use to find her?" Master Huang curled his lips. To be honest, he still didn't like Bai Qinglian. Every time he thought of Bai Qinglian, he would think of what happened in the carriage that day, which always made him feel lingering fear. It was only because he was old and still vigorous that he was able to survive. If it were him, he might have died suddenly in the carriage.

“It’s useful, after all, she’s Master Luo’s disciple!” The servant didn’t know that Master Huang’s first thought was of Bai Qinglian. It wasn’t until he said the word “disciple” that Master Huang’s eyes lit up.

But then her face fell again. "I hope she's not so vengeful."

That afternoon, Master Huang ordered someone to prepare a generous gift and went to the Bai family's house. Bai Chenming and Madam Chen came out to greet him.

The two women paid special attention to the arrival of Master Huang. For Madam Chen, while the Du family was influential, their influence was mostly concentrated in Huaizhou, but Master Huang was different; he was the wealthiest man in Huai'an County, a truly unique position. Bai Chenming, however, had different thoughts. He knew how his daughter had come to the Huang family, and that Bai Qinglian would need Master Huang's care in the future, so he couldn't afford to be negligent.

Without standing on ceremony with the two, Master Huang led the things into the main hall. When Madam Chen saw that Master Huang had brought so many things again, she was immediately overjoyed.

“Master Huang, you’ve already given the betrothal gifts. How can we let you spend more money now?” Although Madam Chen said this, her eyes never left the things Master Huang had brought. She had been preparing dowries for Furong and Qinglian these past few days, and she had almost emptied the Bai family’s storeroom. She was worried about what to do.

Master Huang smiled and said, "I'm here to see Miss Bai. I need her help with something."

Bai Chenming and Madam Chen were both taken aback. What help could Bai Wanqing possibly give to Master Huang?

Madam Chen asked directly, "Master Huang, Qing'er is just a maid. How can she help you?" Master Huang naturally wouldn't say that he wanted to see Doctor Luo to treat his hidden ailment, so he smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. I wonder if it would be convenient?"

Bai Chenming was reluctant, after all, Master Huang had been keeping a close eye on his eldest daughter, and although it was all in the past, he was still worried.

However, Madam Chen didn't think much of it, especially since Master Huang was now coming to her door with such sincerity, so she disregarded Bai Chenming's attitude and readily agreed, "Of course, of course, I'll have someone call Qing'er over right away."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenming glared angrily at Chen Shi. Chen Shi then realized that if Lian'er found out, she would probably cause a scene again. However, the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.

The servants of the Bai family went to the century-old medical clinic to find Bai Wanqing. At that time, Bai Wanqing was treating patients. She was now able to diagnose some patients with relatively mild symptoms. In the words of Master Luo, she was quite talented.

"Miss, Master and Madam want you to come home." The person who came to fetch Bai Wanqing was Uncle Liu, which made Bai Wanqing think that something had happened at home.

Fortunately, Uncle Liu explained in time, and Bai Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. However, upon hearing that it was Master Huang who had come to her door, Bai Wanqing already had a general idea of ​​what was going on. She turned to look at Doctor Luo, who was reading a medical book, and asked, "Grandmaster Luo, what is Master Huang's illness?"

"What? Have you forgotten how he bullied you back then?" Master Luo was a man who hated evil as if it were his enemy. He remembered all the people who bullied his grand-disciple back then, even though he didn't say anything at the time.

Bai Wanqing understood her grandmaster's thoughts and a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Grandmaster, I understand. I'll go back to the Bai family now."

"Go on, go on!" Master Luo impatiently shooed them away, but Bai Wanqing left with Uncle Liu, so he kept glancing towards the door a few more times out of concern.

Shopkeeper Zhou and Doctor Chang both shook their heads with smiles. They had always heard people say that Doctor Luo was strange, but they hadn't found anything strange about him after interacting with him for a long time. Now they could see it for themselves; his personality was indeed quite peculiar.

After returning home with Uncle Liu, Bai Wanqing went straight to the main hall. Bai Chenming and Madam Chen were having tea with Master Huang in the main hall. When Master Huang saw Bai Wanqing arrive, his eyes lit up, and his blood began to surge. Master Huang himself wondered what was so special about Bai Wanqing.
Bai Chenming naturally noticed the deep look in Master Huang's eyes. "Master Huang, now that my daughter is here, please feel free to speak your mind. If she can be of any help, I will do my best."

Ms. Chen nodded with a smile.

Master Huang's face darkened. He glared at Bai Chenming and Madam Chen. At first, the two didn't understand what he meant, but after Master Huang's servant withdrew in front of them, they understood.
But Bai Chenming was unwilling to leave Bai Wanqing alone here, so he did not get up. Besides her, Madam Chen also felt something was wrong. Could it be that Master Huang had not given up on Bai Wanqing? What about her Lian'er then? Madam Chen then looked at Master Huang with a very wary gaze.

Master Huang frowned and sighed softly. He had no choice but to ask for a favor, so he couldn't be too arrogant. "Master Bai, rest assured, I won't do anything to Miss. If you're worried, you can keep watch at the door. However, there are some things I really can't say to more people. Please be lenient, Master Bai."

After saying this, Master Huang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Bai Chenming, and Bai Chenming, seeing that Master Huang had already said so much, could only give him face, so he pulled Chen Shi to stand at the entrance of the front hall.

"Master, what exactly is going on with Master Huang? Why are you being so secretive?" Madam Chen pouted, clearly displeased.

"Who knows! Let's take a look here first," Bai Chenming said, then turned and glanced towards the front hall.

In the front hall, Master Huang said with a smile, "Miss Bai, I've come today to ask you for a favor."

Bai Wanqing bowed slightly. "Master Huang, I'm afraid I'm just a woman and can't be of any help to you."

"No, no, no! You can," Master Huang thought to himself, "To be honest, I want to ask Doctor Luo to examine my illness!"

Bai Wanqing frowned, looking troubled, which made Master Huang's heart sink. "Master Huang, although Doctor Luo is my grandmaster, he is still my elder. Who he chooses to treat is not something a junior like me can interfere with. I'm afraid you've chosen the wrong person."
