Chapter 28 Lu Family Clinic
“Why was it closed down?”

Lin Zhiqing asked Aunt Mu casually as they walked.

She moved with graceful steps and a charming figure, attracting many people to look back.

Aunt Mu was in a bad mood, but she did not forget to shield Lin Zhiqing from those malicious eyes: "Many people in the court have impeached the master and the mistress."

"But isn't it a good thing to let women study?" Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but ask.

But seeing the confused expression on Aunt Mu's face, she froze and didn't ask any more questions.

Deep-rooted prejudices exist in words, but are born in the environment.

Those caught in the situation can only passively accept it, and it's not their fault.

After this little episode, Lin Zhiqing lost the desire to go shopping and quickly found the Lu family clinic.

The Lu family is the Lu family after all. Although it is just a small medical clinic, they have put some thought into the doorway and decoration style. It does not look luxurious but very simple and outstanding.

The layout of the store is also very unique, a design that Lin Zhiqing has never seen before.

At just one glance, she concluded that this doorhead was not designed by Lu Nanyue, but instead had the style of Lu Huai.

As soon as she stepped into the door, a maid came out to greet her, her tone very familiar: "Miss Zhiqing, my mistress is busy, you can try the Maojian tea in the store first, and the mistress will come to treat you personally after the consultation."

As he spoke, he led Lin Zhiqing to the private room on the second floor.

Lin Zhiqing originally thought that the so-called consultation would not take long, but the waiting time was longer than she had imagined.

From the outside, the clinic's business looked average, but there were quite a few people inside.

She noticed that there were several unfamiliar maids in different clothes standing outside the private room on the second floor.

Lu Nanyue would not place so many maids here as decoration, so there is only one possibility - these maids were brought by the patients.

To be more specific, they should have been brought here by the wives and daughters of some wealthy and powerful families.

Sure enough, after observing for a while, Lin Zhiqing found that every patient who came out of the private room was wrapped tightly and went out through the back door.

She knew what was going on, but pretended she saw nothing.

Just as she finished her second cup of tea, a loud, delicate voice suddenly rang out from the inner room: "Mr. Lu, I'm still unmarried, and I'm not rushing to do that kind of thing with others. Why are you insulting me?"

Then came Lu Nanyue's slightly anxious voice: "Miss Hua, I don't mean anything else, I just want to understand the basic situation."

"Basic situation? How can you say such a thing out loud?" Miss Hua seemed to realize that she was still in the clinic and lowered her voice.

"It's not that I want to pry into your privacy." Lu Nanyue sighed softly, "It's really because your illness is special. I suspect someone has applied some kind of secret medicine on your skin to control you. Otherwise, most people wouldn't have such a strong need for skin contact..."

Lin Zhiqing pricked up his ears, but before he could listen for long, the maid lowered the curtain of the inner room, and the sound suddenly became unclear.

Skin contact... Lin Zhiqing touched his chin. This disease sounded familiar.

After frowning and thinking for a while, her brows gradually relaxed.

The description of the symptoms by the flower girl was somewhat similar to a disease she knew, but whether it was that disease or not required further investigation.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing beckoned the maid and whispered a few words in her ear. After the maid understood, she took the opportunity to serve tea and went into the inner room.

"Miss, can't you sit still? Why don't we go out for a walk? There are too many people here. If someone sees you here, who knows how much dirty talk they will say." Aunt Mu stared at the surroundings and couldn't help but remind her.

Lin Zhiqing waved his hand, and seeing the maid come out of the inner room and nod towards him, he immediately stood up and followed the maid inside:

"Aunt Mu, you keep watch outside." Lin Zhiqing raised his chin, and when he saw Aunt Mu nod, he went into the room next to Miss Hua and the others.

"Mr. Lu, I have brought all the maids with me. You have checked them now. They don't have any medicine on them. Just give me a definite answer. Can they be cured?" Miss Hua's voice came out.

Lin Zhiqing put his ear against the wall so that he could hear more clearly.

Lu Nanyue seemed to sigh: "Miss Hua, I have studied medicine for so many years and have never seen such a situation. I am afraid I will disappoint you."

When Miss Hua heard this, she immediately slapped the table:

"Mr. Lu, I'm getting married soon. If I hadn't heard that your clinic can cure any disease, why would I have traveled all the way from Bianliang to Shengjing?"

"I didn't expect that even the famous Lu Nanyue was helpless. I don't even know how your reputation spread. How ridiculous!"

Lu Nanyue was of course not happy with being blamed for no reason, but before she could say anything, Miss Hua spoke again: "I was planning to give you a hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift after this matter was settled, but I didn't expect to run into another liar..."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, had his eyes light up.

One hundred taels of silver!

Miss Hua's symptoms were somewhat similar to a mental illness she knew. Judging from Lu Nanyue's behavior just now, it seemed that this world did not have the concept of "psychological illness", and there were not even doctors specializing in this disease.

In her previous world, before psychology was introduced, there were also cases of perfectly healthy people suddenly seeking death.

The appearance of Miss Hua made Lin Zhiqing realize that although there is no concept of psychology in the world today, there are still people with psychological diseases.

If I go back to my old job as a "psychological counselor", can I make money?
The Miss Hua in front of me is a good experimental subject.

Thinking of this, she told the maid to go next door and inform them.

Soon, the maid came back to lead the way.

After a while, when Lin Zhiqing opened the door, he saw Miss Hua, who was wearing a veil and whose expression could not be seen.

She nodded, but Miss Hua turned her head away and didn't want to talk to her.

"Miss Hua, you've just said so much. Have some tea to moisten your throat first." Lu Nanyue noticed the awkward atmosphere and stood up and pulled Lin Zhiqing to the corner.

Then she winked at Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing knew that she was asking how confident he was, so he patted her hand and whispered, "No problem."

Upon hearing this, Lu Nanyue's lips curled up slightly.

First, she patted Lin Zhiqing's hand, and then brought her back to the table: "Miss Hua, this is Miss Lin. She has two opinions on your illness."

"Can you cure diseases?" Miss Hua looked up and down at Lin Zhiqing, her tone full of doubt.

"Miss Hua, you're fine." Lin Zhiqing had a proper smile on his face. "To be honest, I've seen this disease before."
