A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Upon hearing this, Fu Niang's hand, which was being held by Nie Qianqian, trembled violently. She instinctively tried to kneel down, but Nie Qianqian reacted quickly and pulled her back.

Fu Niang hurriedly explained, "Fu Niang didn't mean to deceive me."

Nie Qianqian waved her hand and said, "From now on, you will be helping my mother manage the kitchen affairs, so you can't be without your sense of taste and smell. Your condition is not difficult to treat. Come with me to Jishetang, and I will prescribe medicine and perform acupuncture for you. You should see some improvement in less than a month, and your sense of taste should be restored in about three months."

Tan'er was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this, and asked, "Really?"

Nie Qianqian nodded.

Tan'er was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed several times to Nie Qianqian, saying, "Thank you so much, Master! If you can cure my mother's illness, Tan'er will do her best to serve you for the rest of her life and be loyal to you to the death!"

Nie Qianqian helped Tan'er up. "Don't kneel down so easily. Just call me Sister Qianqian. As for Fu Niang, just call me Qianqian. I can see that Fu Niang's illness has always been a concern for you. Now that she's better, you can work for Guangjuxuan with more peace of mind."

Fu Niang and Tan'er were moved to tears. Tan'er's eyes reddened, and Fu Niang's eyes also stung. They secretly rejoiced that they had met such a benefactor.

Nie Qianqian, Fu Niang, and Tan'er boarded the carriage and headed towards Jishetang. Before long, they arrived at Jishetang.

Nie Qianqian knew the way well and went straight up to the third floor.

As soon as I went up there, I heard Director Zhang's voice:

“Young master, Doctor Qian does not see patients at Jishetang every day. I haven’t seen him for quite some time. Many people have been looking for him these past few days. I sent someone to invite him yesterday, but I couldn’t find him.”

Nie Qianqian looked up and saw that the person talking to Director Zhang was the same one who had gone to Guangjuxuan with Lord Tang yesterday. This person was dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor, clearly of noble birth.

This person was Jiang Zheng'an. Hearing someone come upstairs, he looked up and saw Nie Qianqian and her daughter Tan'er. He was slightly taken aback at first, but then recognized them as the people he had met at Guangjuxuan yesterday.

He glanced at them and saw that they looked normal and were in good condition, so he knew that yesterday's matter had been resolved smoothly.

The second manager of Guangjuxuan was clearly a shrewd and worldly old fox, someone ordinary people would find hard to handle. Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered by Nie Qianqian.

He thought to himself that this young woman was quite capable and not the kind of person who acted impulsively or blindly.

Strangely, even though it was their first meeting, he inexplicably felt that Nie Qianqian was familiar to him, and there was no sense of distance between them.

However, this woman acted too casually and had no manners whatsoever, which was completely different from his dignified and well-mannered sister. This made him feel an urge to lecture her.

Director Zhang also spotted the group, and upon seeing Nie Qianqian, he felt as if he had seen a savior.

The story of Dr. Qian saving Madam Zhao's life through cesarean section had already spread like wildfire in Fulin County. Many wealthy families from Fulin County and surrounding counties had come to Jishetang to ask Dr. Qian to make a house call, but they had not seen him at all these past few days.

Yesterday he sent people to Qinghe Village to search for them, but found that Dr. Qian and his family were not in the village.

Director Zhang was so anxious he was practically fuming. He winked at Nie Qianqian and said, "Girl, this young master is here to see Doctor Qian. Do you know where Doctor Qian is? Has he arrived yet?"

Nie Qianqian was perceptive and noticed that Jiang Zheng'an frowned slightly when he saw her.

Since you look down on me, then don't even think about consulting Dr. Qian.

Nie Qianqian smiled and said, "Ah, Doctor Qian didn't come. He went out of the city and probably won't be back in Fulin County for a while."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang was speechless for a moment: "This..."

This young master is clearly wealthy and noble. Given Nie Qianqian's greedy nature, how could she possibly refuse him?

Moreover, there are quite a few people seeking out Doctor Qian right now. Director Zhang was extremely anxious and said:

"That won't do! The wife of the wealthy Li family is about to give birth, the daughter-in-law of the Vice Minister Wang's family is carrying twins, and the dog that Old Madam Wang treats like her own daughter is also very pregnant and might have a difficult delivery. They're all waiting for Doctor Qian to save their lives..."

Nie Qianqian: "..."

There was no big word left.

Nie Qianqian spoke again, her tone firm and resolute: "Doctor Qian is really not here."

The word "truth" was uttered from her lips, enunciated with exceptional clarity.

Jiang Zheng'an couldn't help but feel strange, wondering to himself why Director Zhang would ask such a young girl about Doctor Qian's whereabouts.

When he heard her reply, he found that she lacked the humility one should show when facing an elder, and her tone was full of casualness and unruliness. This made Jiang Zheng'an's displeasure even stronger, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Since that's the case, I, Jiang, have other important matters to attend to and cannot wait here for Doctor Qian any longer. This is a letter I wrote myself, requesting that Doctor Qian come to Changqing Street in the provincial capital to treat my mother. Please ask Director Zhang to convey this message."

As Jiang Zheng'an spoke, he took out a letter carefully bound with bright yellow silk thread from his sleeve and handed it to Director Zhang.

Upon hearing the address and the man's surname, Jiang, Nie Qianqian immediately realized that this man was probably the brother of the noble lady from the capital who had spoken to her recently.

Look at his arrogant attitude, just like that noble lady, his eyes are practically on top of his head.

Thinking of this, Nie Qianqian couldn't help but roll her eyes, doing so very discreetly, and muttered under her breath, "No wonder..."

Jiang Zheng'an happened to catch Nie Qianqian's subtle movement, and that contemptuous look in her eyes felt like a thorn in his back.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to offer some advice, so he said, "Madam, to be honest, I saw you at Guangjuxuan yesterday. I admired your righteous act of reprimanding the manager and helping others. However, I still want to remind you that as a woman, you should be more restrained in your words and actions. Showing yourself in public like this, with such a sharp personality, is ultimately not in line with the gentle, quiet, and reserved demeanor that a lady should have."

Jiang Zheng'an spoke earnestly, as if giving a profound lecture, fully expecting Nie Qianqian to humbly accept his words and be moved to tears of gratitude.

However, Nie Qianqian remained unresponsive, like a stone statue.

She stood there quietly, looking calmly at Jiang Zheng'an, as if everything he had just said was nothing more than a passing breeze, utterly meaningless.

Standing behind Jiang Zheng'an, Director Zhang clicked his tongue inwardly and sighed, thinking to himself, "This young master really asked for trouble. Why did he provoke Nie Qianqian for no reason?"

Nie Qianqian's eyes revealed a look of disbelief, her gaze clear yet possessing an undeniable sharpness as she slowly spoke:

"You...are you...teaching me how to do things again?"

The rhetorical question, filled with doubt and disdain, struck Jiang Zheng'an's heart with each word.

Jiang Zheng'an was stunned for a moment, as if he had been frozen in place, and his expression became awkward.
