After her anger, the Prime Minister's wife gradually calmed down. She then noticed the marks on the back of Li Qiulian's hand and felt distressed. "Why didn't you say anything, kid? It's all your fault for not knowing the seriousness of the matter."

Li Qiulian shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, but how can this jade pendant not be real? My daughter thinks it's no different from the one my mother has."

She murmured quietly, "If it's fake, then how did Gu Qinghe know about this jade pendant?"

The Prime Minister's wife's impression of Gu Qinghe had obviously hit rock bottom. If the Prime Minister's wife disliked her in the past because she and Shao Wei's affair had saddened her daughter, then today's fake jade pendant had completely made the Prime Minister's wife feel disgusted with Gu Qinghe.

Now in her eyes, Gu Qinghe is nothing more than a vain woman who is scheming and dreams of becoming a phoenix.

She had seen many people like this and naturally didn't take them seriously, but since she insisted on coming in front of her, the Prime Minister's wife had to teach her a lesson.

Li Qiulian also put away the pitiful look on her face and pounded the quilt angrily, "How hateful! This woman must be laughing at me in her heart now. No wonder the jade pendant fell in front of my daughter so coincidentally. That's why."

"No," she shook the sleeve of the Prime Minister's wife, "My daughter can't swallow this breath. She must be taught a lesson."

She was a bit spoiled in front of the Prime Minister's wife. When she found out that she was deceived by Gu Qinghe, she pretended to be magnanimous, which made the Prime Minister's wife suspicious.

If she were stupid, Li Qiulian would not have coaxed the Prime Minister's wife into protecting her like this all these years.

Perhaps it was because he inherited the meanness of his biological parents, or perhaps it was because he had heard too much gossip, but in short, Li Qiulian had been a very clear-headed person since childhood.

She has had a bad reputation in the outside world over the years. She is arrogant and domineering. She must get what she wants, otherwise she will destroy it rather than give it to others.

But among these, only half is the real her.

How do we know that she isn't deliberately disguising herself in the way the Prime Minister's wife needs?

She was thinking and pondering all the time, trying her best to turn herself into the daughter that the Prime Minister's wife needed. After all, without her, the Prime Minister could still find someone else to make the Prime Minister's wife happy.

She was aware that she was not the only one who was needed.

She is replaceable.

The Prime Minister's wife held her hand, her eyes filled with tenderness that seemed to be about to overflow. "Don't worry, since she dared to pay such attention to me, she should be prepared to pay the price."

In fact, she didn't like Shao Wei very much. She always felt that he was too rigid and dull, and not a good match for her daughter.

But I couldn't help but Li Qiulian liked him.

She sighed, "To be honest, isn't the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion much better than the second son of the concubine? I have seen his appearance before, and there is nothing to say. Why do you prefer fighting and killing on the battlefield?"

"Mother," Li Qiulian said coquettishly, "My daughter just likes it."

"Okay, okay, don't worry. As long as it's something you like, mother will do whatever it takes to get it to you."

……

Although Gu Qinghe's understanding of Li Qiulian was a little superficial, he could basically guess what she would do after taking the jade pendant.

In this regard, Gu Qinghe watched the situation develop.

After two days of seeing a doctor at the Beijing Medical Clinic, Mingxuan was promised that he would accompany her to the palace to help her sister, the imperial concubine, recuperate.

Knowing that she would not come to the Beijing Medical Hall tomorrow, the long queue of patients outside showed no sign of decreasing.

The shopkeeper went outside for a walk and came back, scratching his head as he walked into Gu Qinghe's clinic, "What should we do with these people outside?"

He advised Gu Qinghe to raise the consultation fee a bit, so that the number of patients outside could be reduced by at least half.

The line was so long. It was not realistic to say that they all came because of Gu Qinghe's medical skills. She was young and a woman, so she faced much more doubts.

But with the guarantee of the Beijing Medical Hall, and word-of-mouth from the patients she cured, her medical skills were indeed spread somewhat.

The reason why the line is so long is mainly because her consultation fees are cheap.

Most of the patients who came to see her were from poor families. They just needed to endure the minor illnesses and pains, and they were only willing to see her because Gu Qinghe’s consultation fee was cheap.

Of course, there are also some women who feel ashamed of their illness.

Luo Feng was not in the clinic today, and Gu Qinghe was so busy that she almost forgot the time.

The day before yesterday, I took Luo Feng to see Xiaocheng and his sister. The three of them had a lot of fun. Gu Qinghe thought that he had a lot of things to do these days and was afraid that he could not accompany Luo Feng, so he brought Xiaocheng and his sister into the general's mansion.

Sure enough, the three children had a lot of fun these two days, so Luo Feng would not be lonely even if he was not at home.

Gu Qinghe can also do his own thing with peace of mind.

Pinching his brows, Gu Qinghe stood up and looked at the patients waiting outside, and was silent for a moment.

Her mother once told her that doctors need to act within their capabilities and make their own rules.

Medical practitioners must always have compassion in their hearts, but they cannot be without rules.

Gu Qinghe lowered her eyes slightly. In this regard, she was indeed not as good as her mother.

"Please tell the shopkeeper outside that at most three people can be seen today. After the third person, you will not be able to see it today even if you queue up. You should all go home now."

The shopkeeper went outside to repeat her words. Gu Qinghe could see the disappointment on those people's faces. Perhaps some of them even felt resentful and turned away cursing.

By the time Gu Qinghe finished treating the remaining three patients, it was already completely dark.

Because Ouyang Xia saw her being picked on by Li Qiulian two days ago, she was worried about her. As soon as it got dark these past two days, she would bring Lan Yu to pick up Gu Qinghe.

Seeing Gu Qinghe coming out, Ouyang Xia clapped his hands and stood up, "When I left, Grandma Wang made braised pork. It must have been stewed to perfection now. Let's go back quickly."

The general's mansion was so lively again. Ouyang Xia praised the dishes made by Grandma Wang for the first time, so much so that Grandma Wang was dizzy for the past two days and happily made delicious food for them in different ways every day.

Walking into the night, after taking a few steps, Gu Qinghe saw from afar a thin figure waiting not far away.

At first she didn't recognize her, but the timid yet grateful look made her suddenly remember that this seemed to be her cousin Yu Qinglian from the Duke's Mansion.

She walked over there, "Are you waiting for me?"

Yu Qinglian looked pale and a little embarrassed, stammering and unable to speak.

After a while, she whispered her request, "Can I ask you for a rejuvenation pill?"

She opened her palm and saw a silver hairpin with ordinary patterns but looking quite old. "This hairpin is not worth much. If Doctor Gu doesn't like it, I can exchange it for something else in the future."
