However, when they returned to the pond, they actually discovered Qin Lily again!
How is this woman so relentless!
Not far away, Qin Lily circled the pond and found that there was no tray on the ground.
"Tsk, there's no tray here either. I thought it would always be here."
Far away, Sixteen was infuriated. "This is too much! Does she want to come and steal the master's... intimate clothing? How could she... how could she…"
Such a transformation!
Jun Mo: "…"
He hadn't expected that Qin Lily would actually come here again.
Moreover, from her actions, it was obvious she was looking for the tray where he placed his clothes.
He couldn't help but recall her actions at the pawnshop, sniffing those intimate garments.
Beneath the silver mask, his sharp lips twitched slightly…
Qin Lily took a look around the pond, saw there was no tray, and after what seemed like either a sigh of relief or regret, shook her head and left.
The master and servant pair watched her retreating figure until she disappeared, their feelings very complicated.
Unaware that she was being watched by the master and servant, Qin Lily returned to Qingshan Temple and informed Qin Huan that she was preparing to open a clinic at the foot of the mountain.
"I've bought the shop, and the money was provided by that Young Master Ye from last time. It's right across from the Qin Medical Clinic."
Qin Huan was silent for a moment before speaking with concern. "Right across from Qin Medical Clinic? Although we can't return in the short term, opening a clinic there won't attract any patients."
Because patients would naturally go to the Qin Medical Clinic, which had the reputation of a divine doctor, instead of coming to their newly opened, unknown little clinic.
"Don't worry, brother." Qin Lily said confidently, "I already have a patient lined up. It's that Ni Yan you know? He has a problem below, affecting his ability to carry on his family line. No one else can cure him, so he will have to come to me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huan, who was drinking medicine, spat it out.
"B-below? What do you mean, below?"
It took Qin Huanzi the entire night to vaguely accept that his own sister could treat all sorts of strange ailments... especially, well, that kind of ailment...
He couldn't help but think that before Chen'er became foolish, she indeed enjoyed reading all sorts of wild historical medical texts and discussions. Could it be related to those?
But!
How could she treat something like Ni Yan's condition, where, um, that place was broken?
Would she have to fix it herself?
Just thinking about this possibility made Qin Huanzi feel faint. He repeatedly advised her, "Chen'er, you're a young lady, don't… don't touch or look at inappropriate things…"
Qin Lily: "..."
No matter how reluctant Qin Huanzi was, the clinic Qin Lily had bought still opened its doors for business.
They couldn't stay in Qingshan Temple forever, and they would have to move out sooner or later.
Qin Huanzi's leg was now able to be supported by a cane, and he had a new understanding of his sister's medical skills.
So on the day the new clinic opened, Qin Huanzi also came down the mountain with a cane.
Since their uncle was already certain that Qin Huanzi's leg was absolutely crippled and unfixable, and with Qin Lily's disguise, no one recognized him as Qin Huanzi.
Ni Yan had been waiting for this day and came to the clinic on its opening day.
"Doctor, are you ready to treat me today?" Ni Yan asked with a cold face.
Before Qin Lily could speak, Qin Xin anxiously said, "Brother Yan, what's wrong with you? Why must you come to him for treatment? The Qin Medical Clinic is right across the street, don't you trust the divine doctor there?"
Ni Yan actually didn't trust the current Qin Medical Clinic.
In fact, this pain had tormented him for three months, and two months ago, when the former divine doctor was still alive, he had sought treatment there.
At that time, the divine doctor had said, "Unless there is a divine medicine, there is nothing I can do."
But divine medicine is hard to find!
Qin Xin turned to glare fiercely at Qin Lily. "Who are you, wild brat? Do you really know medicine? If you can't cure Brother Yan and delay his condition, can you take responsibility?"
Qin Lily was still dressed as a young man. Because of her slender figure and young age, she looked like a mere boy, which made people doubt whether she really knew medicine.
Facing the doubts, Qin Lily curled her lips into a half-smile and said, "I can't take responsibility? Then, Miss Qin, if your incessant chatter here affects my mood for treating Young Master Ni, and I accidentally make a wrong diagnosis or misplace a bone, can you take responsibility for that?"
"You!" Qin Xin was so enraged that the facade she had been trying to maintain was starting to crack.
A trace of impatience flashed in Ni Yan's eyes, but he still spoke patiently, "Chen'er, you can go back first. I'll be out soon."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Ni Yan, Qin Xin bit her lip in grievance, trying to use her tearful eyes to make him change his mind. However, Ni Yan simply lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.
"Damn it!" Qin Xin stomped her foot, her face dark with anger.
