Chapter 116 He is actually the legendary Doctor An!
The carriage drove out of the city.
Qin Wan sat to one side of Old Madam Qin, and she could sense Old Madam Qin's worry.
Seeing Old Madam Qin's hands clasped together and her silently praying, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
Whatever Qin Lang becomes in the end, even if he dies, it has nothing to do with her, and she will not be sad about it.
But her grandmother was different. Qin Lang was also her grandson. She didn't want to see her grandmother collapse because of Qin Lang. She only hoped that Qin Lang would show some spirit this time and not die too quickly.
Leishan Temple welcomed many pilgrims today.
Qin Wan accompanied Old Madam Qin to various temples dedicated to Bodhisattvas for protection and also obtained amulets for peace.
Old Madam Qin prayed for a talisman for Qin Lang, and Qin Wan also prayed for a talisman, but hers was not for Qin Lang; she wanted to give it to Xiao Jingyan. Only if Xiao Jingyan lived a safe and peaceful life until his marriage could she fulfill her wish.
Noon.
After having some congee and side dishes, Qin Wan added some money for incense oil and asked the nuns of Leishan Temple to find her a side room.
Madam Qin's health is not as good as it used to be; she needs to rest before she can return home.
"Grandmother, please rest here for half an hour. We'll set off back home this afternoon!"
"it is good!"
After settling Madam Qin in, Qin Wan bribed a nun and went to the back mountain of Leishan Temple.
Leishan Temple may look glamorous on the surface, but it's actually rotten inside. As long as you have the money, there's nothing they can't satisfy.
Even if they indulged in pleasures within Leishan Temple, no one would care.
Unlike the front, the back mountain was much quieter, with only the sounds of insects and birds.
Since Nianqi came into Qin Wan's life, she no longer takes Wan Shuang with her when doing dangerous things, so as not to implicate Wan Shuang if she gets caught.
Nianqi followed behind Qin Wan, carrying a storybook.
Nianqi remained alert to her surroundings, watching Qin Wan continue walking deeper into the mountains. She didn't know what her mistress was going to do; her only task was to protect her.
After a winding journey, we finally arrived near the small house on the back hill.
"Is Master Qiao here?" Qin Wan asked cautiously.
Seeing that the bamboo stalk in front of her had grown quite a bit, she was overjoyed.
If Master Qiao is willing to sell her some more this time, then Grandmother's illness will be completely cured.
"Ahem... Who is looking for me?" A soft cough came, and then a person walked out of the small house.
Upon seeing that Qin Wan had come in person, Mr. Qiao's lips unconsciously curled up.
"Oh, it's you! What brings you here?"
Qin Wan bowed to Master Qiao and then handed over the storybook from Nian Qi's hand.
"My grandmother has recovered greatly after using the medicinal herbs bestowed upon her by Master Qiao. Today, Leishan Temple is open to the public and accepts worshippers, so I came here with my grandmother. In my spare time, I came to this back mountain to personally present this storybook to Master Qiao as a token of my gratitude!"
Qin Wan lowered her status and presented the storybook with both hands.
I didn't know which storybook to buy for the night cream, so I bought a few extra.
Master Qiao stared intently at the thick stack of storybooks in Qin Wan's hands, eager to see what was inside.
But pride prevented him from indulging himself like that, so he straightened his body and ramrod straightened his back.
He coughed twice more to clear his throat.
"Not bad, a filial child. I haven't finished reading the storybooks you had the Fifth Prince send over the other day, and these today..."
"These are all gifts to honor you, and are not counted towards the seven-day festival!"
Master Qiao was overjoyed; that was exactly what he had asked about.
Unable to contain his excitement any longer, he was about to take the storybook from Qin Wan's hand.
"I'll accept these..."
"Wan'er?"
A sudden sound rang out from behind her, a voice so familiar that Qin Wan immediately felt disgusted.
What are you doing here?
The speaker walked directly between Master Qiao and Qin Wan, glancing at the two of them a few times before finally fixing his gaze on Qin Wan.
"Greetings, Fourth Prince!" Qin Wan bowed.
Despite his reluctance, he was the fourth prince and still had to observe proper etiquette.
Master Qiao had no idea what kind of day it was today. No one was coming when he said they wouldn't, but everyone came when he said they would.
Fearing something might go wrong with his storybook, Master Qiao quickly took it from Qin Wan, didn't bow to Xiao Jingyu, and went back to his small house to put the storybook away.
Qin Wan felt extremely unlucky today, as she had to run into Xiao Jingyu here.
"Wan'er, how do you know Doctor An?" Xiao Jingyu asked.
Doctor An?
Qin Wan frowned. Was the Master Qiao from earlier the same Doctor An?
Doctor An is a famous healer in Fengling. It is said that he has never failed to save anyone, and he can even bring the dead back to life.
Qin Wan never expected that he was Doctor An.
She had heard of Doctor An's reputation and had even asked him for medicine, but Qin Wan had never met him.
Today is also the first time I've seen his true face.
"I didn't know he was Doctor An. He sold me medicinal herbs before, and I'm here today to settle the debt. Now that I've finished my business, I'll take my leave!"
Qin Wan glanced at the bamboo pendant beside the elder on the ground and decided to come back to see Master Qiao another time.
She really didn't want to have much interaction with Xiao Jingyu.
Qin Wan turned to leave, but Xiao Jingyu blocked her way.
Nian Qi immediately stepped forward, shielding Qin Wan behind her, and glared back at her fiercely.
"Your Highness, my young lady has finished her business and is now returning home. Please do not stop her!"
Nianqi's words were forceful, making Xiao Jingyu feel uncomfortable.
As the current fourth prince, no one has ever dared to speak to him in such a tone, let alone a maid.
"How dare you, a lowly servant girl, stop me..."
"Fourth Prince, my temple is too small to accommodate your nonsense. If you damage my medicinal herbs, you will have to pay for it!" Master Qiao came out of the room and stopped Xiao Jingyu, who was about to get angry.
After Qin Wan learned of Master Qiao's true identity, she felt that Master Qiao was surrounded by an aura, as if his identity was a blessing.
"Master Qiao, you are actually Doctor An?" Qin Wan asked incredulously, her attitude completely different from when she spoke to Xiao Jingyu earlier.
Master Qiao stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "My name is Qiao An, and people call me 'Dr. Qiao,' but I don't think 'Dr. Qiao' sounds good. It's not as good as 'Dr. An' from the storybooks, so I changed it. The 'Master Qiao' and 'Dr. An' that you've heard of are both me!"
Qin Wan suddenly realized, and felt even more respect for him in her heart.
Qiao An looked at Xiao Jingyu, and the smile on her lips faded.
"Your Highness, as I have said, I am used to being unrestrained and carefree, and I do not wish to be involved in conflicts. I will not serve under Your Highness. Please do not come again!"
Xiao Jingyu ignored Nian Qi in front of her and went to Qiao An.
"Dr. An, I am not here today to win you over, but to ask you for a favor. I hope you will grant my request!"
"what's up?"
Xiao Jingyu glanced at Qin Wan beside her, her heart filled with conflicting emotions, but in the end, she spoke up.
"Dr. An, a few days ago, the third young lady of the Shen family was seriously injured. She is my cousin. My mother was very worried when she learned of her injury and forced me to come and find Dr. An. Please come and treat her."
