Chapter 226 An Uneasy Premonition

After Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen entered the city gate of Nanyang Prefecture, they separated from Ji Junche, Yun Ruoxi, and Yun Ruolin. The couple took Mo Yan and Mo Xian back to the Jishiditang Clinic, while Ji Junche and the others returned to Wantong Bank.

The clinic was bustling with patients today. Mo Dong was busy seeing patients, Xuan Ping and Xuan An were preparing medicine and attending to waiting patients, and Mo Nan was taking inventory of the medicinal materials in the backyard storeroom. Lu Ling'er entered the clinic and headed straight for the consultation room. Gu Yichen went to the accounting office to sort out the accounts, while Mo Yan and Mo Xian were busy between the clinic and the Taoyuan Zhixuan grain store next door. Due to the lack of staff at Taoyuan Zhixuan, Mo Xi and Mo Bei were overwhelmed, and Mo Yan wondered if he should arrange for some more guards to come and help.

"Oh, Ling'er, you're back!" Mo Dong saw Lu Ling'er coming in, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. "There are several women waiting to see a doctor here. Can you help?" He pointed to the waiting area for female patients, his heart full of anticipation.

"Okay, then you will be responsible for the male patients." After washing her hands, Lu Linger walked into the consulting room, ready to serve the waiting female patients.

"Do you have separate male and female doctors here?" A patient who came to the clinic for the first time asked curiously to Mo Yan who was counting the medicinal materials at the front desk.

"Yes, we have female doctors in Jishidiang who can see patients. If the patient requires it, you can tell us in advance." Mo Yan tried to explain. Although he was a temporary guest, he tried his best to act professional.

"Oh, that's good. From now on, I can have my wife and sister come see this female doctor." The patient who had just asked the question nodded, but another patient next to him interrupted, "Doctor Ling'er is the hero who developed the plague prescription and saved lives. If it weren't for her, we would have died long ago."

"Really?" "That's her?" "So young?" "A young woman?" The waiting patients began to discuss Lu Ling'er, creating a lively and friendly atmosphere. The herbal tea stall was the clinic's own, where patients could enjoy tea and chat while waiting, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Listening to their praise, Lu Linger couldn't help but smile, and thought to herself: "This responsibility is really heavy, but I also hope to help more people." She began to examine each patient seriously, carefully inquiring about their symptoms, and recording each case in her mind.

At this moment, an elderly woman sat in the corner, looking a little anxious, as if she had something to say. Lu Linger noticed her, walked over and asked softly, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

"Doctor Ling'er, I..." The woman hesitated for a moment, tears glistening in her eyes. "My mother-in-law is seriously ill. Other doctors are unable to help her, but I heard that you are an excellent doctor. I would like to ask for your help."

Lu Linger's heart sank, knowing that such requests were often filled with helplessness and despair. She softly consoled him, "Madam, please don't worry. Take me to see your family. I'll do my best to help."

At this time, Gu Yichen walked out of the accounting office. When he heard Lu Linger's conversation, his heart tightened and he took the initiative to walk to her side: "I'll go with you." His tone was firm, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

Lu Linger turned around and smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart. The couple walked out of the clinic together, heading towards the woman's home. A sense of urgency emerged in Lu Linger's heart, remembering the complexity of her own life experience. The road ahead seemed shrouded in layers of fog. She walked side by side with Gu Yichen, their pace quick but tinged with unease.

"Husband, do you... feel that something is wrong around you recently?" she suddenly asked, looking straight ahead.

Gu Yichen was slightly startled, then turned his head to look at her, a trace of concern in his eyes. "You noticed it too?" His voice was low, with a hint of alertness in his tone. "I've always had an uneasy feeling, especially around you."

"I'm just a little worried. After all, too many things have happened during this period of time." Lu Linger sighed slightly, and the troubled emotions in her heart were difficult to calm down for a while.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Gu Yichen held her hand, offering her warmth and strength. He had already arranged for members of Qingyun Pavilion to secretly protect Lu Ling'er and ensure her safety. He guessed that her life story was destined to be entangled in those power games, and he was willing to take on more responsibility for her.

As they walked, they arrived at the woman's home. Although the courtyard was simple, it exuded a warm feeling. A ray of light shone through the crack of the door, which seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to this gloomy day.
