Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Zhong Yi doesn’t love , soone else will
Lu Yingxue’s willow-leaf eyes swept over Qiao Xi’s figure.
Her fingers gently caressed the band-aid on her cheek, exuding charm.
Qiao Xi quelled the complexity in her eyes, looked at her, and said, “You’re the one who wants to compete with , right? Aren’t the rumors on the forum all spread by you? You lost at the needle-testing conference and are unwilling to accept it, always looking for a chance to make a coback.”
The Traditional Chinese dicine forum was consistently paying attention to Lu Yingxue and Qiao Xi, with many wanting to know who is the leader of this generation!
There was constant debate about the dical skills of Qiao Xi and Lu Yingxue.
After the needle-testing conference, neither had the chance to compete on the sa stage.
Lu Yingxue crossed her arms, looking very composed: “Qiao Xi, you’re overthinking things. The public clinic is ant to treat everyone’s illnesses, how can there be room for personal agendas? I never had such intentions. It’s a pity you’re still a disciple of the National Doctor, truly tarnishing their reputation.”
“Who are you talking about?” Sun Weing put his hands on his hips and looked at her, “You’re taking out your frustrations on our Qiao Xi because you’re too old to vent elsewhere! Isn’t it just because Zhong Yi doesn’t love you? Is there a need to be so angry?”
“You… I’m not going to argue with people like you.”
Lu Yingxue adjusted her cloak and said, “Zhong Yi may not love , but others do. Besides, he has plenty of other admirers, and I will not wrong myself anymore.”
It seems, she was planning to cut ties with Zhong Yi.
Climbing high.
Sun Weing sarcastically remarked: “Oh, so you’re planning to sever ties, seeing that Zhong Yi is about to lose his heir position. You’re so pragmatic!”
“Say what you will; everyone in the Imperial Capital knows it’s Zhong Yi who wronged first. His affair with Ye Ying is causing a huge stir. The clinic is starting, I don’t have ti to waste talking to you.”
After speaking, Lu Yingxue sat down at her seat.
Signaled to the security to start proceedings.
The place instantly beca noisy.
People were scrambling to get the best positions.
“It’s nine o’clock sharp, the public clinic begins! Please queue properly, no cutting in line!”
“Queue properly, don’t crowd!”
“Doctor Qiao, Doctor Shen, please be seated.” The staff invited Qiao Xi and Shen Xuanzhi to sit down, announcing the start of the clinic.
Qiao Xi sat at the long table in the middle, turning her head to glance at Shen Xuanzhi sitting alone on the left.
He had gained so fa in the Imperial Capital recently, and she wondered if he would take over the subsequent treatnts from Zhong Yi.
Qiao Xi retracted her gaze, softly speaking to Huo Xingzhou beside her: “You should go to the nearby café to work. Being here all the ti will make others nervous.”
He was such a formidable presence, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
The patients were all scared upon seeing him.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at the busy Sun Weing and Huo Sijiao, then nodded towards Old Chen, who stood guard behind Qiao Xi.
“Call if anything happens, and I’ll order lunch.” Huo Xingzhou pointed to the café so dozens of ters away, where a seat by the window offers a view of the clinic.
“Alright.”
Qiao Xi felt relieved persuading him to leave, finally not delaying his proper work because of her.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve poured hot water for you.”
Worried that Qiao Xi might feel too cold, Huo Sijiao took a glass cup filled with hot water and placed it by her side, refilling it from ti to ti.
Very thoughtful.
Sun Weing was not to be outdone, offering his eagerness.
Soon, patients began to flock in.
However, the queue on Lu Yingxue’s side was obviously longer and more popular.
Having been in the Imperial Capital for years, this was quite normal. Due to her title as the needle-testing conference champion and disciple of the National Doctor, Qiao Xi also had a fair number of patients, but Shen Xuanzhi’s side appeared sparse and sowhat deserted.
Patients were pragmatic too, all hoping to see a more famous and capable Chinese dicine doctor.
Seeing this, Sun Weing nudged Huo Sijiao with his elbow, signaling her to look at Shen Xuanzhi next door.
Huo Sijiao pursed her lips and glared at him harshly.
ddleso!
“Miss Huo, could you pour so hot water?” Shen Xuanzhi noticed Huo Sijiao’s gaze and asked restrainedly.
Sun Weing was gloating.
Huo Sijiao stood frozen, looking displeased. Shen Xuanzhi’s staff, astutely, said nothing about helping with the water.
“Go on, Shen Xuanzhi is doing a public clinic, you’re contributing to the public good.” Sun Weing nudged her again, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Huffing and puffing, Huo Sijiao carried the thermos over to pour Shen Xuanzhi so water.
“Doctor Shen, please use.”
“Thank you.”
Shen Xuanzhi gave her a deep look and spoke softly.
His fingers clenched tightly, holding back many words he wished to say to Huo Sijiao. But Huo Sijiao soon left, showing no desire for chit-chat with Shen Xuanzhi.
Busy with the clinic, Shen Xuanzhi lacked ti for further conversation.
Qiao Xi also welcod her first female patient to the clinic, who was fashionably dressed but looked a bit unwell, hesitant to speak during consultation.
In a gentle tone, Qiao Xi comforted her, finally diagnosing a simple constipation issue.
Nowadays, urban white-collar workers often suffer from constipation due to disordered schedules and irregular eating habits. Qiao Xi was well-prepared and wrote a prescription for the lady.
“Use this prescription and go to the Traditional Chinese dicine Hall under the Lu Family to collect the dicine.”
Upon ntioning the Lu Family Hall, Qiao Xi’s eyes had a certain obscurity.
Traditional Chinese dicine Halls under the Lu Family were spread throughout the Imperial Capital, making them the largest supplier for the Traditional Chinese dicine Association’s clinics. The dicines consud at these clinics all co from the Lu Family’s halls.
Finally, Lu Bannong claims reimbursent from the Traditional Chinese dicine Association at low prices.
But the laypeople outside don’t know this and mistakenly think the Lu Family pays for the good deeds.
The Traditional Chinese dicine Association wouldn’t cross paths with Lu Bannong over these minor issues.
Setting aside those thoughts, Qiao Xi said: “In the future, pay attention to your diet, avoid excessive at and maintain a light diet to reduce the burden on your stomach. Drinking the dicinal decoction for a week will resolve your issue; if you find it troubleso, the Chinese dicine Hall can prepare and package the dicines so that you can simply heat it with warm water at your convenience.”
“Thank you, Doctor Qiao.”
The urban lady smiled and said.
“You’re welco, next please.”
With a faint smile on her face, Qiao Xi positioned the pulse pillow again, treating patients.
Those at the front of the queue generally had no major issues.
Mostly cases of stomach ache, vomiting, or chronic illnesses.
A prescription could resolve them, more serious ones could be alleviated with a set of needle treatnts by Qiao Xi.
Other Chinese dicine doctors could handle these minor ailnts too.
It didn’t showcase any special advantage as a disciple of the National Doctor.
Lu Yingxue glanced over, then retracted her gaze.
She pondered what Zhong Lingxiao’s plan was, whether today would ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation or whether she could elevate herself by stepping over Qiao Xi?
Lu Yingxue pulled out a wet wipe and gently wiped her fingers.
Suddenly, the crowd beca restless!
