Chapter 30: Cats? Using cats as medicine?

Hearing the word "curable", Miss Hua's voice choked a little: "You didn't lie to me?"

After seeing Lin Zhiqing shaking her head, her tears suddenly fell: "Tell me how to treat it quickly! If you dare to tease me, I will make you pay!"

"Hey, why are you so poisonous?" Lu Nanyue gritted her teeth.

Miss Hua curled her lips: "I'm just too excited!"

Lu Nanyue rolled her eyes and then looked at Lin Zhiqing: "Zhiqing, how can we treat this disease?"

"That's easy to say." Lin Zhiqing spread out the white paper on the table, but when she was about to start writing, she realized that she couldn't write traditional Chinese characters.

"Nanyue, come here." Lin Zhiqing waved to Lu Nanyue and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Ah, this...is this okay?" Lu Nanyue lowered her voice.

"Don't worry." Lin Zhiqing pointed at the white paper and said, "Just write it down as I told you."

After a while, Miss Hua got the "prescription".

"A raccoon slave, a lucky grandson, a moon treasure..." As she looked at them, she frowned: "Miss Lin, you look gentle and polite, how can you be so vicious?"

"If you want ginseng and snow lotus, I can find them, but the prescriptions all mention animals. Using them as medicine is too cruel. I will never agree to it."

Lu Nanyue's face was full of disapproval, but she didn't want to ruin her good sister's plan at this moment.

Lin Zhiqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Hua is indeed kind-hearted, but this prescription is not for you to get the medicine."

"What do you mean?" Miss Hua frowned.

"Replenish what you lack. That's exactly what this prescription means." Lin Zhiqing pointed at the thin piece of paper. "Miss Hua, you've never raised animals, have you?"

"Those little things are troublesome and hard to take care of. Whoever wants to raise them can do so!" She said while waving her hands, her refusal was very obvious:

"Miss Lin, are you here to cause trouble for me on purpose? What kind of prescription is this?"

Miss Hua slapped the table, and the cup on the table shook.

After saying that, she stood up and was about to go out.

"Eh?" Lu Nanyue grabbed her wrist and said, "Your consultation fee hasn't been paid yet, don't even think about running away."

Miss Hua stamped her feet and said, "I came here for nothing and got fooled. I'm already showing mercy by not asking you for compensation."

"You can't say that..." Lu Nanyue was about to have a good argument with this woman, but Lin Zhiqing patted her shoulder.

"Miss Hua, you can go back and try my prescription to see if it works." Lin Zhiqing handed the forgotten prescription back to Miss Hua:
"No matter what, the consultation fee must be paid, but your symptoms are serious and you may need a second stage of treatment."

"You can pay half of it as a deposit first, and you can pay the other half when you come next time." Lin Zhiqing had a smile on his face, but his words made people feel convinced.

Miss Hua took a deep breath and thought about her current situation. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she still held the "prescription" tightly.

Seeing that she accepted the prescription, Lin Zhiqing smiled and winked at Lu Nanyue.

Lu Nanyue understood and reluctantly let go of Miss Hua's hand.

"Zhiqing, you are just too easy to talk to." Lu Nanyue sighed.

When Miss Hua heard the name before leaving, she couldn't help but look back.

Lu Nanyue realized that she had accidentally revealed Lin Zhiqing's name and slapped her mouth in annoyance.

Lin Zhiqing didn't say anything: "Miss Hua, is there anything else?"

Miss Hua lifted her hair and said, "Your name is also Lin Zhiqing?" Lin Zhiqing nodded.

Miss Hua narrowed her eyes, a trace of disgust appearing on her face. "What a coincidence! Your name is exactly the same as the one my cousins ​​mentioned, a young lady from an official family."

"But you are much more pleasing to the eye than that young lady from the official family. I heard them say that the young lady from the Lin family is a fool. Not only is she talentless and unattractive, but she even dared to harm her own cousin."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Nanyue's expression changed immediately: "Miss Hua, have you seen this Miss Lin in person?"

There was a hint of questioning in her tone.

"No, why are you so fierce?" Miss Hua was a little puzzled.

"Nothing." Lin Zhiqing pulled Lu Nanyue's sleeve, still smiling.

"It's incomprehensible." Miss Hua rolled her eyes at Lu Nanyue and told the maid outside the door to bring in the silver.

When Lin Zhiqing saw the five white silver ingots, his eyes immediately lit up.

"What kind of person is this? My Xiaoqing is so smart and pretty." Lu Nanyue put her hands on her hips and started to criticize Miss Hua.

But when she turned around, she saw Lin Zhiqing lying on the table as if nothing had happened, biting the silver ingot.

"What are you doing?" She couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Lin Zhiqing's hand: "This silver is so dirty."

Lin Zhiqing felt pain, then rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly.

This is something I haven't seen before.

Just as she was about to explain, she saw Lu Nanyue hug the silver ingot into her arms and took a deep breath: "It smells good, it really smells good!"

Lin Zhiqing:! ?
Sister, you are exaggerating even more than me... Lin Zhiqing was speechless.

"But then again, it's not good for you to talk nonsense like this, is it?" She sighed as she touched the silver, "But your story is pretty good. I can't hear anything wrong with it."

"Nanyue, I have something to tell you." Lin Zhiqing straightened himself. "Since the matter with my cousin has come to an end, have you noticed any difference in me?"

Speaking of this, Lu Nanyue raised her head and tapped the silver ingot intermittently: "Xiao Qing'er, I knew you had a hard time before, but I didn't know it was this hard."

"How can you live well in a place like that without changing?" She sighed, "You've been smart since you were little. I know you've been hiding your incompetence in order to gain a foothold in the Lin family. There's nothing wrong with that."

Hide your shortcomings... Lin Zhiqing never expected Lu Nanyue to say such a thing.

But her natural vigilance prevented her from continuing the conversation. She was afraid that Lu Nanyue was testing her.

"Nan Yue, everyone has to learn something. Although my parents died early, they also left some things for me." She attributed her changes to her parents who passed away early, and did not respond to the topic of hiding her shortcomings.

Lu Nanyue smiled faintly: "That's it. My uncle and aunt have always been far-sighted. If it weren't for them, this clinic might not have been able to open."

As she spoke, she pushed out a silver ingot: "Here, your reward."

Then, she put the remaining four silver ingots into her pocket in a flash.

Lin Zhiqing:! ?
"Just one?" She picked up the lonely silver ingot.

Lu Nanyue hummed a little tune and did not forget to pick her ears: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Uh...profiteer, definitely a profiteer!
But Lin Zhiqing changed her mind and realized that this was the Lu family's clinic after all, and it was not bad for her to earn ten taels of silver just by talking.

Moreover, this kind of "financial relationship" makes Lin Zhiqing feel much more at ease than simple feelings.
