"Is this Madam Wen's home?" The person who came was a middle-aged woman wearing brocade clothes and gold and jade bracelets on her hands. Her face was whitened with powder and lipstick, and her eyebrows were carefully outlined. There was a carriage parked behind her. She did not look like an ordinary family.

"Who are you? What do you want to see Madam Wen for?" Ye Xiuying asked at the door.

"We are from the Ji Mansion in the county. We heard from Madam Liu that there is a Madam Wen who is an excellent doctor, so we came here specially to invite Madam Wen to come to the mansion to diagnose and treat the illness of our young lady."

Wen Qingcheng was in the yard. When she heard that someone had introduced someone to seek medical treatment, she walked over and asked, "I am Madam Wen. Who is the Madam Liu you mentioned just now?"

After asking, I found out that Wen Qingcheng had cured Li Hongxiu's second uncle's gout, so Mr. Liu's eldest daughter introduced Wen Qingcheng to the young lady of the Ji family.

The patient came all the way to see her, and she didn't want to refuse, but she had already promised Mo Jinghong to go hiking together in the afternoon, and she didn't want to spoil his fun. Wen Qingcheng glanced at Mo Jinghong who was loading fruit snacks into the carriage in the yard. Coincidentally, Mo Jinghong heard someone looking for Wen Qingcheng, and looked in her direction, and their eyes met.

Wen Qingcheng said decisively: "I'm really sorry, I just happened to be busy today. There are many famous doctors in the county, please ask for someone else."

After saying that, Wen Qingcheng blinked at Mo Jinghong. The corners of Mo Jinghong's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile on his face.

The woman seemed to be choked. She didn't expect to be rejected. She thought that a barefoot country doctor would rush to treat a nobleman, but she didn't expect him to be rejected so decisively. Didn't she know who the owner of the Ji Mansion was? If he cured the young lady's illness, the reward alone would be more than what she earned from treating patients in a year.

The woman quickly looked up and down at Wen Qingcheng's dress. Without her hair tied up, she looked like a young girl. She thought she had found the wrong person. Could such a young woman really treat illnesses? But the young lady's close friend, Madam Liu, said that this Madam Wen was indeed a superb doctor with good medical ethics. That's why the young lady insisted on asking this Madam Wen to come and treat the patient. If she couldn't invite Madam Wen, wouldn't it seem that she was not doing her job well?

The woman had no intention of leaving. She smiled and said to Wen Qingcheng, "Madam Wen, our master used to be an official in Kyoto. He was appointed as the Prince's tutor. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown. If Madam Wen can cure the young lady's illness, he will definitely reward her with a large sum of money."

"This is not about money. I am really busy today. You should find someone else. To be honest, treating patients is not my main job. I only have a little knowledge of medicine."

"We have consulted other doctors, but none of them can cure our young lady's illness. Besides, most of the doctors are men. Our young lady heard of Madam Wen's medical reputation and insisted that I, an old man, come and invite Madam Wen."

Wen Qingcheng was in a dilemma. The patient came here because he admired her, so she should go with him. However, she didn't want to ruin Mo Jinghong's mood for the trip. The patient came at this time, not earlier or later.

"If your young lady insists that I go, why not go tomorrow? I'm free all day tomorrow."

The woman said anxiously, "Madam Wen, we can't wait until tomorrow. Our young mistress is in so much pain that she is trembling all over and can't get up from bed. To be honest, the young mistress is our daughter. I have raised her since she was a child. Later, she followed her to the Ji Mansion after she got married. She has unbearable abdominal pain every time she has her menstrual period. I thought it was a minor problem for girls, but after she got married, the situation became more and more serious. Now she has been married to the Ji Mansion for five years and has no children. Many doctors have been invited to see her, but none of them can cure her. If she can't be cured and doesn't get pregnant, I'm afraid our young mistress's marriage will be over..."

As she spoke, the woman's voice was filled with tears, and she wiped her tears with a piece of silk in her hand. Wen Qingcheng was somewhat moved. This was indeed an emergency, and the patient was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed. If she didn't go to treat her, she would feel uneasy.

"Wait a moment." Wen Qingcheng said and walked towards Mo Jinghong, hesitating, not knowing what to say.

Mo Jinghong understood her. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still respected her choice. "No need to say anything. Just go ahead and do what you should do."

"Brother Mo, I really want to go hiking with you."

"I know we can go hiking some other time. You have patients on your mind. Even if you go hiking with me now, you are distracted."

Wen Qingcheng didn't expect Mo Jinghong to understand her so well. "Will you be unhappy?" She now cares a lot about Mo Jinghong's thoughts.

Mo Jinghong smiled dotingly, and reached out to adjust the tassels on Wen Qingcheng's hairpin, "I'm not unhappy, go ahead."

After Wen Qingcheng confirmed that Mo Jinghong was not unhappy, she readily agreed. She picked up the medicine box and got on the carriage of the Ji Mansion.

Ye Xiuying watched the carriage go away, and she began to worry. "Chuyi, why do I feel so uneasy? The Ji family is a wealthy family, and wealthy families have many rules. The masters and mistresses are all valuable. I'm really afraid they will embarrass Qingcheng."

Mo Jinghong said, "Don't worry, Auntie. You stay at home and look after Xue'er. A Falcon and I will go over and take a look."

Mo Jinghong was indeed worried about Wen Qingcheng. The girl was getting more and more eye-catching. He had to protect her and bring her back in person. These wealthy families had a lot of shameful things going on. Wen Qingcheng was honest and upright. If she was accidentally involved in a family fight, it would be bad for her. He followed her secretly to protect her.

There is another point, that is, Mo Jinghong has his own selfish motives. He wants to stay alone with Wen Qingcheng for a while. After Wen Qingcheng finishes seeing the doctor, he can pick her up and leave directly.

As soon as Wen Qingcheng's carriage left, Mo Jinghong and A Falcon followed in the carriage from behind. They arrived at Ji's house in the county town one after the other.

As soon as she got off the car, Wen Qingcheng saw that the Ji Mansion was indeed magnificent. She pushed open the door and found that the Ji Mansion covered a large area, with exotic flowers and rocks in the garden, and carved beams and painted buildings. It was rare to see such a large house in the county town, and it was worthy of the man who resigned from his post in Kyoto.

"Madam, how old is your young mistress?" Wen Qingcheng asked as they walked.

"I dare not call you Madam Wen. I am the servant of the young lady. My husband's surname is Zhai. Madam Wen, you can just call me Mother Zhai. My young lady is twenty-five this year."

Wen Qingcheng knew that people in the Great Qi Dynasty reported their ages based on their real ages. They counted their ages from the ninth month in the mother's womb. In fact, this young lady should be 24 years old. I heard from this Zhai that she had dysmenorrhea before she got married, so it seems that she had a long history of this disease.

The two followed the winding corridor and came to a quiet little courtyard. Mother Zhai smiled and said, "This is where our young lady lives."

As soon as I entered the room, a little maid was pouring tea. Mother Zhai asked, "How is the young lady?"
