After these words were spoken, Qin Jianjian and Lu Qingheng's expressions turned a little ugly.

Qin Jianjian was about to speak, but Lu Qingheng pulled her back and signaled her to stop talking nonsense.

Then she apologized to Pei Xunzhi: "My little sister was outspoken and didn't mean anything else. Please don't blame me, Xunzhi."

Pei Xunzhi then turned his gaze to Lu Qingheng and said with a smile, "I heard that General Lu is now in charge of the General's Mansion. He is so ruthless on the battlefield, but how come he can't even discipline the servants in his husband's house?"

The words were full of smiles, but extremely sharp.

Lu Qingheng felt a little embarrassed. They used to have a good relationship, so why did they suddenly become so hostile to each other?

Qin Jianjian's face turned even paler, wondering what that sentence meant: "I can't even discipline my servants."

Who is the servant?

There were many guests at the banquet, and Pei Xunzhi quickly went to greet other friends.

He happened to sit down on a chair not far from Jiang Ningwan, and the two of them looked at each other inadvertently. Jiang Ningwan nodded slightly and greeted him, and Pei Xunzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Nothing was said, but the other party understood what he meant.

She and Pei Xunzhi did not have a very deep relationship. They just knew each other and did not interact much.

But she is the only daughter of a military general, outspoken and righteous.

Qin Jianjian saw the two people looking at each other, and then whispered something in Lu Qingheng's ear.

Lu Qingheng glanced at Jiang Ningwan with a bad look on his face.

Not long after, King Qin Shuang of Chu was late.

The courtyard was in an uproar. No one expected the King of Chu to come. Pei Xunzhi immediately stepped forward to greet the guest.

"Ever since he injured his leg, the King of Chu has never attended banquets, yet he unexpectedly came today."

"The King of Chu is rarely seen at palace banquets, yet he actually came to Miss Pei's birthday banquet."

Jiang Ningwan glanced towards the gate and saw a familiar figure. The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she immediately stood up and walked forward.

Qin Shuangchi raised his eyes and saw the snow-white figure coming towards him, and he curled his fingers unconsciously.

The next moment, the figure passed by him.

"Divine Doctor Qiu!"

Jiang Ningwan shouted in surprise.

Suddenly, Lu Qingheng next to her went to meet Doctor Qiu before her.

Unable to conceal his excitement, he said, "Divine Doctor Qiu, I thought you hadn't received my letter. It's great that you're willing to come!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Lu Qingheng is so capable that he can invite Divine Doctor Qiu?"

Pei Xunzhi was also delighted and stepped forward quickly, "Divine Doctor Qiu, I've finally been waiting for you. My mother's legs are becoming increasingly inconvenient to move. Your acupuncture skills are world-renowned and are my only hope."

Marquis Wu Bo had been seeking the services of Divine Doctor Qiu for a long time, but his whereabouts were elusive, making him extremely difficult to find and also difficult to invite.

Not long ago, she heard that Dr. Qiu was in Kyoto, so she immediately went to the inn to invite him, but found out that Dr. Qiu had already left. She felt regretful for a long time.

I never expected that he would come today!

Qin Jianjian said with great enthusiasm: "Divine Doctor Qiu was invited by my sister-in-law. He refused to accept the Star-Breaking Whip, but I can't refuse this great gift."

The sound was so loud that it seemed as if everyone in the yard could hear it.

Pei Xunzhi changed his previous attitude and apologized immediately: "I was too harsh in my words just now. I hope General Lu will not blame me."

Lu Qingheng accepted it happily. "You're welcome. We're both martial artists, so we speak our minds. There's nothing to take seriously."

Hearing these words, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sneer.

Lu Qingheng was quite bold in rushing to take the credit.

In a blink of an eye, they forgot how they had driven Doctor Qiu out of the house that day.

Divine Doctor Qiu didn't understand the reason, but he could tell something was amiss. He looked at Lu Qingheng seriously and said, "I haven't read the letter from your Qin family."

"I didn't come here for you today."

"I won't be visiting Princess Yi anymore, and you don't have to waste your time writing to me anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

Lu Qingheng's face turned pale and blue. "Divine Doctor Qiu, why did you come to the Marquis Wu's residence without reading the letter? I invited you here."

Her second brother took great pains to find Doctor Qiu's residence. She wrote letters of apology every day, and even the Bodhisattvas in the temple would be moved by her sincerity.

Why is Doctor Qiu so heartless?

Everyone looked at Doctor Qiu curiously.

Divine Doctor Qiu looked at Jiang Ningwan with a smile on his face. "My disciple asked me to come. We became my disciple in such a hurry that I didn't have anything to offer as a gift. So I granted her a wish."

"She said she hopes I will come to the Marquis Wu's mansion to see the lady's legs."

Disciple?

The world-famous doctor Qiu once declared that he would never accept any disciples in his lifetime.

He actually made an exception and accepted a disciple!

who is it?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ningwan, and they were whispering to each other.

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, then quickly stepped forward and lowered her voice, "Didn't Master say that this matter couldn't be spread outside?"

Divine Doctor Qiu smiled and said, "I've changed my mind now! I want everyone in the world to know that you are my disciple. Bullying you is bullying me!"

I remembered what Li Chun had said when she was getting medicine at Huichun Hall last time: "The young lady said she has no home anymore and the Duke's Mansion won't protect her."

He felt very distressed.

General Ling’s granddaughter, if the Duke’s Mansion doesn’t protect her, he will!

Pei Xunzhi's eyes lit up, and he was genuinely happy. "Miss Jiang actually became the disciple of Divine Doctor Qiu! Congratulations!"

"I'm actually asked to use this apprenticeship gift. How embarrassing!"

Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow and jokingly said, "Now that my master is here, can I still let him go?"

"Of course not!" Pei Xunzhi quickly made a gesture of invitation, "Doctor Qiu, please take a seat!"

The atmosphere suddenly became familiar and lively.

Seeing Pei Xunzhi treating them coldly again, Qin Jian interrupted with dissatisfaction: "Even if you don't read the Qin family's letter, isn't Jiang Ningwan also a Qin family member?"

"My mother's headaches haven't healed yet, and she's in terrible pain. Jiang Ningwan has taken Divine Doctor Qiu as her teacher, but she hasn't even asked him to come and see my mother."

Qin gradually became filled with resentment.

Yes, just based on the master-disciple relationship, Jiang Ningwan didn’t even ask her master to come and see her mother-in-law, which was simply unfilial.

Saying this in front of so many people was to expose Jiang Ningwan to the accusations of being unfilial.

Jiang Ningwan was about to speak when his master stepped forward and said, "A few days ago, Jiang Ningwan came to me and kowtowed three times and nine times, asking to be my disciple."

"My first condition was that you couldn't use our master-disciple relationship to make me go against the principles of my years of medical practice."

“I will not practice medicine for those who are extremely evil, disloyal, or unrighteous.”

As soon as these words were spoken, people all started to talk about it, and everyone was speculating about what the Qin family had done to offend Doctor Qiu.

Lu Qingheng's breath caught and he clenched his palms.

I regret not covering Qin Jianjian's mouth in time.

At this moment, I just want to end the party quickly and leave here.

But Qin Jianjian was completely clueless and angrily asked, "What do you mean by that? Is our Qin family treacherous and evil? Or are we disloyal and unrighteous?"

"You have slandered an official of the imperial court, and you will be held accountable!"

After asking this question, Doctor Qiu naturally had to give her a satisfactory answer.

"Since you insist on asking, I'll explain it clearly so that you won't come back and embarrass my disciple."

Divine Doctor Qiu put his hands behind his back and said in a resounding voice, "Doctor Hong from Huichun Hall is my senior brother."

"As far as I know, he has been treating Princess Yi for two years, providing her with Tianshan Buddha Lotus every month. This medicine is priceless, yet he doesn't take a penny. He has devoted all his efforts to treating Princess Yi."

"Because the Tianshan Buddha Lotus was no longer found and he stopped treating Princess Yi, the Qin family blamed him and slandered him, saying he was a fraud and a thief."

"Isn't this an act of ingratitude?"
