Chapter 355: Shixuan Medical Clinic

At the Lin'an government office, Master Shi was waiting at the door. When he saw Ye Wenyan coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

Ye Wenyan said the same thing: "We are partners, and we will deal with each other often in the future. If we are so polite every time we meet, then the clinic will not be able to operate."

Master Shi listened to her and smiled and no longer insisted on bowing, but the people in the government office bowed directly when they saw Ye Wenyan coming.

There's no way around it. This is what Lord Chi has instructed. No matter when you meet Fourth Miss Ye, you must be polite and courteous. He also said that if Fourth Miss Ye comes to visit, you must welcome her with great courtesy and listen to whatever she says, more than you would listen to him.

The official's salute made the Shi family and their husbands feel proud. Although they were not saluting them, they came with Ye Wenyan! When did people from the outer city have such face in the government? How could they not be proud?

The two followed Ye Wenyan and were politely invited in by the officials. Then they were personally received by the prefect Chi Hongfang. They also saw that Prefect Chi also bowed to Ye Wenyan seriously.

Madam Shi whispered to Master Shi: "Well, is my analysis correct? Fourth Miss Ye is not an ordinary person."

Master Shi believed it without a doubt, nodded firmly, and said firmly: "We must follow the Fourth Miss and do things well."

Zhuier heard this, and the little maid reminded them: "Just cooperate with the rules. My young lady is a very good person. As long as you are honest and kind, she will treat you well."

The two nodded happily, and then happily signed the deed rewritten by the government. From this moment on, the Shi Family Clinic in the outer city was no longer owned by the Shi family, and Ye Wenyan also owned half of it.

However, the title deed only stated the street number, which was the ownership of the house and land, but not the operation. Then another filing document had to be signed, which was related to the operation of the clinic.

Ye Wenyan said, "I originally planned to just sign the filing document, I didn't plan to take the house."

Madam Shi said, "You have to take it even if Miss Four doesn't want it. Since we are cooperating, we have to divide it clearly. Everything should be half for each family. You have to take the house. Only then can we feel at ease."

Chi Hongfang was very satisfied with the attitude of the Shi couple. He nodded frequently while listening to them speak. For this, Master Shi also felt honored. After all, this was considered as gaining the approval of the prefect, which was not easy for merchants from the outer city.

In particular, Chi Hongfang took the initiative to say to them: "You are lucky to open a clinic with the Fourth Young Lady, but you must cherish this opportunity and do your job honestly. Listen to the Fourth Young Lady, do whatever she tells you to do, and don't do anything she doesn't allow you to do, understand? Anyway, just listen to her, but she is very busy, so if there is nothing important, don't bother her all the time. If there are things that are difficult to solve on weekdays, come to this government, and this government will also tell the officials in the outer city to take good care of the Shi Family Clinic."

The Shi couple were so touched. They had never imagined they would receive such treatment before. This was like a sudden boost!

So he thanked him repeatedly and said that he would be obedient and would definitely come to bother the prefect.

Seeing that the couple was relatively honest, Chi Hongfang nodded and warned them: "If you are not honest and have bad intentions during the cooperation, I will be the first one to not forgive you! All the Shi family's businesses in Lin'an will be affected, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood." The Shi family couple responded immediately and assured, "We will definitely do our duty, please rest assured, sir."

Chi Hongfang snorted, feeling a little jealous of the couple! After all, being able to do business with Ye Wenyan meant they were close partners, and he wanted to participate. But unfortunately, he was an official, so he couldn't. But this filing document... Chi Hongfang was a little unhappy when he saw the words "Shi Family Medical Clinic" on it.

"Since it's a collaboration, shouldn't we change the name? The clinic is half owned by the Fourth Miss, but it's still called the Shi Family Clinic. It sounds like it has nothing to do with the Fourth Miss! Isn't that a bit bad?"

Ye Wenyan actually didn’t have any need in this regard. It would be better if her name didn’t include her name. She had no intention of attracting such attention.

But since Chi Hongfang had mentioned it, the Shi couple would definitely obey, and she couldn't refuse too much. After all, the clinic still had to rely on the government's protection, and she couldn't insult Chi Hongfang in front of the Shi couple.

So after the Shi family couple enthusiastically came up with more than a hundred alternative names, she made a decision - "Let's call it Shixuan Medical Clinic! We each take one character, it's fair and just."

Everyone present was confused, even Zhuier didn't understand, "Shi is the Shi family, what is Xuan? If we take one character from each, shouldn't it be called Shi Ye Medical Clinic? Why is it called Shi Xuan? What does this Xuan mean?" Ye Wenyan said, "It doesn't mean anything, I just like this character, so it's settled."

Anyway, Ye Wenyan made the decision, and no one asked any more questions. Chi Hongfang asked someone to rewrite the record, and both parties put their fingerprints on it, and the matter was successfully completed.

Ye Wenyan did not follow them back to the Ye Mansion. The Shi couple were a little disappointed, but they finally left in the carriage, looking back every few steps.

Chi Hongfang stood at the gate of the government office and watched until the carriage was out of sight. Then he asked Ye Wenyan: "Fourth Miss, have you investigated this matter? Are you sure it is credible?"

Ye Wenyan thought about it and shook his head, "I haven't investigated it, so I don't know if it's credible. This matter is entirely based on my own judgment. I would like to ask Sir Chi, you have been the prefect for many years, you should have some understanding of the merchants in the outer city, right?"

Chi Hongfang nodded, "Of course I know something about that." As he spoke, he sent Ye Wenyan back to the government office, "The Shi family is not one of the best in the outer city, but its family strength can also be ranked in the top five. Compared with other merchants, the Shi family is still conscientious. Basically, they have never done any dishonest business, nor have they made a fortune from national disasters. Madam Shi is kind and generous. She will donate and give alms during festivals or natural disasters. Master Shi is also a serious and decent person. He never lingers in places of entertainment or gambling."

Chi Hongfang was a little embarrassed when he said these things. "In fact, half of this information was collected during this period of time. Because the fourth young lady took a fancy to that clinic, I was more cautious and sent someone to check it out. This is also an explanation to the fourth young lady. Speaking of it, the Shi family is still trustworthy, but what we can see is only the surface. As for what is inside, we need to continue to observe. Don't worry, fourth young lady, I will always keep an eye on it and will never let you suffer any loss."

Ye Wenyan nodded, "It doesn't matter if I make a loss in business or not, and I don't care how much money I make. But since I have taken over this clinic, I have to be responsible for my reputation, so I really need to ask Master Chi to help me keep an eye on it."

Chi Hongfang was very happy that Ye Wenyan could assign him a task. He rubbed his hands while agreeing, and seemed to want to go to the outer city to guard it himself. But Ye Wenyan couldn't let him go. Firstly, the inner city couldn't do without the prefect, and secondly, she also had something she wanted to ask Chi Hongfang.

"Master Chi, please sit down." She signaled Chi Hongfang that he didn't need to stand in front of her. "Although I asked Master Chi to go to Yanhua Palace, I didn't mean to use Yanhua Palace to suppress you. You are the elder, and Wanting calls you Uncle Chi, so I have to do the same."

Chi Hongfang wanted to say that he didn't dare, but he also felt that it was a happy thing to be called Uncle Chi by Ye Wenyan. So he hesitated for a long time but couldn't bear to shake his head, and responded to the uncle.

Ye Wenyan smiled and thought that this was a good idea, at least it would help with the development of the next topic.

She asked Chi Hongfang: "Uncle Chi, do you still remember what happened when my grandfather and father passed away? For example, did the government intervene in the deaths of the two generals? Was there an investigation into the cause of death, or was there an autopsy?"

Chi Hongfang was stunned. "No! The old general was old. Although he was not yet sixty, he was not much older. He had been fighting outside for many years. He had been suffering from major and minor illnesses in recent years. He must have died of natural causes. As for the general, the Ye family said that he missed his father too much and suffered from old injuries. This... naturally there is no need to investigate."

As he spoke, he stared at Ye Wenyan's expression, and he felt that the more he spoke, the worse Ye Wenyan's expression became, so much so that in the end Chi Hongfang began to be afraid. "Fourth Miss, is there something wrong here?"

Ye Wenyan sighed softly, "It's no use whether there is something wrong or not. The government has missed the best time to file a case."

"What's the best time to file a case?" Chi Hongfang asked cautiously, "Miss Four means that we should start the investigation immediately after the death of the general? Is there any hidden story behind the death of the old general and the general?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "There must be something hidden, but the best time to file a case is not after my father's death, but after my grandfather's death. If someone had reported it to the police at that time, maybe my father would not have died. It's too late to say anything now, and it's also my own fault. I didn't notice anything unusual at the beginning, and my grandfather wasted all those years of training me."

She paused here, then said to Chi Hongfang, "There is one more thing that Uncle Chi may be able to help me with."

Chi Hongfang immediately said, "Fourth Miss, please speak."

Ye Wenyan said, "I want to check about thirty-five or thirty-six years ago, before my grandmother married into the Ye family, about the Jiang family in Xiushan County. Including the Jiang family saving my great grandfather, and then the two families discussed marriage and married my grandmother to Lin'an for a few years. I want to find out as much as possible, including the basic situation of Xiushan County in those years, who the Jiang family often interacted with, including who my grandmother often interacted with before she got married. Anyway, I want to know everything that can be found."
