The Imperial Concubine's Divine Doctor
Underestimate
Only after speaking did Xie San realize what he had said.
He considered himself a gentleman and would not easily speak ill of women, but this Feng Qingchen really had the ability to make people lose their composure.
It was the first time he had spoken ill of a woman, and Xie San felt somewhat uneasy, casting a surreptitious glance at Feng Qingchen, with a slight twinge of regret in his heart.
He can be proud of himself, knowing that he is wrong but refusing to admit it, and besides, he doesn't think he's wrong, he just speaks more bluntly.
Besides, his arch-nemesis Wang Qi is still around, and he won't back down even if you beat him to death.
It was as if to prove himself in the right, Xie San's voice rose again: "Feng Qingchen, now I'm giving you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Officer Wei said you have a way to break the case between the Wang and Xie families. Now come with me, and as long as you handle this matter well, I'll let bygones be bygones and won't bother you about it."
Feng Qingchen smiled lightly and said, "Lord Wei? Just because he says I have a way, does that mean I really do? I'm not familiar with him."
She didn't deliberately make things difficult for him; she refused only because he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Wang and Xie families.
Is it Wei Xueliang, Lord Wei?
I remember you lightly like dust.
I'll make you understand what happens when you offend a doctor, especially a female one.
You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, Feng Qingchen, or I'll make sure you regret it.
There are also the young masters of the Xie and Wang families, who are also praying that they won't end up with Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen slightly lowered her head, hiding the chill in her eyes.
Doctors are a sacred profession. A good doctor can not only save your life, but also the fate of a family, and even that of a nation.
But she has confidence in her medical skills.
"Feng Qingchen, what do you mean by this? You even dare to not give face to the Wang and Xie families?" King Qi frowned in dissatisfaction.
He and Xie Jia Laosan came together to invite him, but he actually dared to refuse. In this world, apart from Feng Qingchen, there is no second person who can do this.
Not to mention a Feng Qingchen, even if it were the Crown Prince, due to the actual power of the Wang and Xie families, he wouldn't dare easily say "no" to these two people.
"No, Seventh Young Master, you've misunderstood. Qing Chen wouldn't dare offend the Wang and Xie families; it's just that Qing Chen doesn't have the ability to do so." Feng Qing Chen hastily stood up to apologize.
These days, those with power and influence are really arrogant. Is this asking for her help? This is clearly forcing her.
"Don't have that ability? You haven't even looked, how do you know you don't have that ability? Feng Qingchen, don't make me say it a third time, come with us. Otherwise, I'll send someone to escort you." Wang Qi stood up, his tone not allowing Feng Qingchen to refuse.
Xie San naturally wouldn't just sit around either. The two of them came to the door in person today, and if Feng Qingchen didn't go, then their faces would be completely lost.
The Wang and Xie families, having just been embroiled in a scandal involving the murder of an eldest son by his stepmother, have now been involved in another scandal where the previous one was swept out the door by Feng Qingxue. This has left the hundred-year-old family's reputation in tatters.
Today, Feng Qingchen has no choice but to go, and even if she doesn't want to go, she still has to go.
Sigh...
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qingchen knew she had no way out. She forced a smile: "The two young masters are too kind, and Qingchen is not worthy of such treatment. Please, let the two young masters lead the way."
It seems that they have even moved the public hall to the Xie family's residence. The power and influence of the Xie family is indeed extraordinary.
It's no use trying to offend someone who can't be offended.
"It's about time." Xie Sanluo walked past Feng Qingchen's side, speaking in a low voice. "Not everyone has the right to say no."
Having said that, he strode out in big steps.
Outside the Phoenix Mansion, Xie San and Wang Qi's carriage was waiting outside. The two men came out and got in directly, indicating to the coachman to leave, without any intention of inviting Feng Qingchen along.
The horse carriage went forward with a "gong gong gong" sound, leaving Feng Qingxue standing still on the spot.
"Miss Feng?" The two officials exchanged a look of embarrassment, looking rather awkward.
They don't have that ability, going out is a horse-drawn carriage, people like them go wherever they are on two legs.
But Miss Feng is still a delicate and noble young lady from an official family, although she has fallen on hard times. What the two gentlemen Wang and Xie did was still too excessive.
Feng Qingchen didn't mind, waving her hand: "Let's take our time walking, it doesn't matter."
Having been in this world for so long, apart from the last time she went to the government office, she hadn't really gone out much. It's a good thing to take this opportunity to see the bustling imperial city.
The bluestone road, the wooden loft, for these two officials, are familiar to the point of being unable to be more familiar, but Feng Qingchen looks at them with great interest, her eyes unconsciously revealing admiration and praise.
Walking on the ancient road in this old town, listening to the vendors' calls, watching people coming and going, Feng Qingxin's mood became more and more calm.
Isn't life just like this?
When you are busy with life, you have to bear the pressure that life brings. This pressure can make you breathless, but it cannot bend your back.
Strolling slowly and savoring the life of ordinary ancient commoners, when Feng Qingchen arrived at the Xie residence, the influence left behind by Xie San and Wang Qi had all been eliminated.
Two officials stepped forward and announced their identities. The gatekeeper of the Xie family looked at them with a defensive expression, sizing them up from head to toe before reluctantly opening the door.
"You're the one Master Feng personally invited, Feng Qingchen? Not bad at all." Leaving behind a sentence that didn't match his status, the doorman didn't give Feng Qingchen any chance to speak, turned around and walked ahead to lead the way, with steps that were both swift and rapid, not putting Feng Qingchen in his eyes at all.
"Miss Feng..." The two officials' faces were getting increasingly ugly.
The gatekeeper of the prime minister's mansion is a seventh-grade official, and this gatekeeper of the Xie family is not inferior to that of the prime minister's mansion. Even if they knew that Feng Qingchen was humiliated, they couldn't afford to offend her, so they could only ask Feng Qingchen to be more magnanimous.
"It's okay, let's focus on the main task." Feng Qingchen smiled and stepped forward.
Having been bitten by a dog, I should bite back, shouldn't I?
If you want people to respect you, you must have the ability to deserve it.
"Please, Miss Feng, please." The two officials let out a deep breath and thought to themselves: This Miss Feng's demeanor is truly impressive, not many men have this kind of bearing.
Such a person, coupled with exceptional medical skills, will undoubtedly achieve great things in the future. If they follow Miss Feng at this time, they may have a bright future ahead of them.
The two officials exchanged a glance and nodded at each other.
They may be small potatoes, but even small potatoes have their uses.
On the road, the two officials became more and more respectful to Feng Qingchen, without any hint of looking down on him.
This subtle change did not escape Feng Qingchen's eyes, and she smiled faintly, but didn't take it to heart.
She repays grievances with grievances and kindness with kindness.
If a man respects me one inch, I will respect him one foot; if a man insults me one grain, I will insult him three pecks; if a man owes me one inch, I will demand from him ten feet.
When she was down on her luck, the person who pulled her up would be remembered forever. When everyone looked down on her, the person who respected her would never be forgotten.
Just like the Ninth Emperor Uncle, just like these two officials.
The grandeur of Xie's residence exceeded Feng Qingxue's imagination.
Passing through the front hall and arriving at the sky well, turning over several corridors, passing seven courtyards, they have not yet reached their destination.
If no one leads the way, you will definitely get lost walking here.
A mansion with artificial hills, ponds, gardens and pavilions.
It wasn't until she arrived here that Feng Qingchen finally understood what a truly wealthy and aristocratic mansion looked like.
Her small courtyard with three entrances and exits is still smaller than the smallest one in Xie's family.
Alas, people die in comparison with others, and goods are discarded in comparison with better ones.
From Feng's house to Xie's house they only walked for a moment, but from the main gate of Xie's house to the courtyard of the second house, they walked for two moments.
The problem is, they haven't gotten there yet...
Such a road, let alone a woman, even an ordinary man would be exhausted after walking it once.
The people of Xie's household really don't lose out in the slightest.
