The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 217 Lowering One's Stance

Li House.

These past two days, Chen Yuniang has been tormented by a woman's illness, leaving her exhausted. The story she heard about the female doctor in Baiyun Town the other day was also false.

They made a wasted trip.

She had originally planned to go outside the city yesterday to seek a free medical consultation from the female doctor at Qianjin Pavilion.

But I heard that during the free clinic at Qianjin Pavilion, only the poorest families would receive treatment.

She had no choice but to suppress her feelings and decided to go to Qianjin Pavilion to find the female doctor herself after the free clinic was over.

She got up early this morning, intending to go to Qianjin Pavilion as soon as possible.

However, when she arrived at Qianjin Pavilion with her maid, she was told that Qianjin Pavilion did not have a female doctor.

"How could there not be? Yesterday and the day before, you were providing free medical consultations to the people outside the city. Wasn't there a female doctor among them? Don't try to fool us. Quickly call that female doctor out. My lady will never mistreat her!" Chunxiang said angrily.

Chen Yuniang was also filled with anger, and the unspeakable pain made her even more anxious.

She said impatiently, "Is your Qianjin Pavilion so untrustworthy? You clearly have female doctors, yet you still dare to deceive us. Believe me or not, we'll go out and spread rumors about you. How can your Qianjin Pavilion be two-faced?"

The young Dr. Jin patiently explained, "Madam, please calm down. We at Qianjin Pavilion do not have any female doctors on duty. On weekdays, it is always male doctors who treat patients. Our medical skills are quite good. If you trust us, we are all willing to treat you."

"I want that female doctor. If she doesn't come out to treat me today, I'll make sure your Qianjin Pavilion is infamous!" Chen Yuniang threatened with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Jin's face darkened. "How can you be so unreasonable? We truly do not have any female doctors in our department!"

"Then where did that female doctor who was with you providing free medical consultations for the people a couple of days ago come from?" Chen Yuniang asked with a stern face.

During the two days of the free clinic outside the city, the female doctor sat there and provided free medical care to the people. Everyone saw it in full view of them. Now they are saying that their Qianjin Pavilion does not have a female doctor.

Does this mean she's easy to fool, or easy to bully?

Just as Dr. Jin was about to explain further, Dr. Qin walked over and said, “Madam, you’ve misunderstood. The doctor who came with us for the free clinic last time is not a doctor who works at the clinic. She is our boss. We are doctors at the clinic, but she doesn’t usually come here. She only helped out last time because we were short-handed.”

Chen Yuniang was stunned for a moment.

Although I only caught a glimpse of her from afar the day before yesterday, and the lady was wearing a veil, I could still vaguely tell that she was very young.

How could such a young woman be the owner of this Qianjin Pavilion?

"Your boss is so young?" She looked at Doctor Qin with suspicion, thinking he was lying to her.

“Our boss is indeed young, but ability has nothing to do with age,” Dr. Qin said, his face unconsciously showing admiration.

Their owner was young but ran the clinic and was also very skilled in medicine.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Chen Yuniang softened her voice a bit, "I didn't know that was your boss, I'm truly sorry."

Seeing that her attitude had improved, Dr. Qin waved his hand and said, "Ignorance is no excuse."

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuniang changed the subject and said, "But since your master knows medicine and is willing to provide free medical treatment to those poor people, he must be a doctor with a benevolent heart and should treat all patients equally."

Doctor Qin paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, our boss isn't in the room. Otherwise, she would certainly be willing to treat the patient if needed."

“I can wait.” Chen Yuniang sat down on the chair without asking. “I’ll have to trouble you all to go and ask her.” Doctor Jin was furious at her matter-of-fact attitude. Doctor Qin was also a little angry, but he was no longer a young man and quickly calmed down.

"This lady probably didn't understand what I meant. Our master isn't in the house, and we can't find her either. If she hadn't shown up herself, none of us would have seen her."

"Is there really such a strange thing? Then how do you usually contact her when you have something to report? Don't try to fool us with this weird excuse," Chunxiang said unhappily.

"We have no reason to lie to you. Of course, if you don't believe us, there's nothing we can do," Dr. Qin said with a helpless expression.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, Chen Yuniang frowned.

Her illness cannot be delayed; she must receive treatment as soon as possible.

She had heard of the doctors at Qianjin Pavilion; their medical skills were excellent. For other ailments, it wouldn't be a problem to have them treat her, but her illness was so private that it was really inappropriate for a male doctor to examine her…

Thinking of this, she suppressed her impatience and asked, "When does your employer usually come over?"

"It's hard to say, there's no fixed time. Sometimes it's three days, sometimes five days. When there's nothing to do, I might come once every two weeks," another young doctor replied.

Chen Yuniang's heart sank; things were so uncertain...

"Is your boss really this capricious? Aren't you afraid the shop will close down?" Chunxiang couldn't help but ask.

"Our boss can do whatever he wants. Why are you interfering?" Dr. Jin retorted.

Chunxiang choked for a moment, wanting to retaliate, but was stopped by a look from Chen Yuniang.

When you need someone's help, you should adopt a humble attitude.

"I only want to see your master for treatment. How about this, when will your master arrive? Could you send someone to the Jing'an Marquis's residence to inform us?" Chen Yuniang asked kindly, and gestured for Chunxiang to take a money pouch to give to Doctor Qin.

Doctor Qin immediately dodged the question, saying, "We can't guarantee that. If Madam is in a hurry, she can send someone over every day to wait for her. But whether the owner is willing to make house calls is something we don't know."

Hearing these perfunctory excuses, Chen Yuniang became angry. Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

The clinic's staff ran out to check, then ran back.

"Dr. Qin, a lot of people have come outside, saying they want to thank our employer and apologize."

Steward Ding was not in the pavilion, so Doctor Qin was in charge.

Hearing what the waiter said, Dr. Qin frowned. "Why apologize?"

He understood the gratitude, after all, Qianjin Pavilion had been providing free medical consultations for the people these past two days, and even the medicinal herbs had been donated free of charge by the owner, which could be said to be at no expense.

But what about the apology?

The doctors looked at each other, completely baffled.

"Go out and find out what happened right away," Doctor Qin instructed his assistant.

"Dr. Qin, why don't we go out and take a look ourselves?" the young doctors suggested.

So the doctors left Qianjin Pavilion.
