Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Making Wei Qingwan Lose Face_1

“Let her worry.” Wei Ruo said.

“Also, it would be better for Miss to earn some more money from Wei Qingwan!” Xiumei was very fond of the idea of earning money from Wei Qingwan.

“Today, it seems that Madam Yuan and Madam Xu are nearby?” Wei Ruo said.

“Yes, our Madam is also here. I just saw them coming, with Madam Yuan leading others to collect medicinal herbs at the street corner ahead.”

“Let us go and find them.” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss, what are you planning to do?” Xiumei asked with a curious expression on her face.

“Isn’t Wei Qingwan supposed to be helping the disaster-stricken people? Then let’s take the ladies to see just how she is helping.” Wei Ruo curiously smiled.

Xiumei was stunned for a moment, then her face turned to realization: “I wondered why you suddenly let go of Wei Qingwan. I see you had a plan all along…”

Thinking of what Wei Ruo was about to do, Xiumei laughed.

“Let’s go.” Wei Ruo hinted with a smile, and she and Xiumei directed themselves towards where Madam Yuan and the others were.

###

Without Wei Ruo’s interference, the burly gatekeeper still blocked the entrance to the clinic.

Wei Qingwan had no way to enter the clinic.

“If you won’t let me in, then how did Wei Qingwan get in just now?” Wei Qingwan asked the guard.

“Miss Wei was brought in by someone she knew, so naturally that allowed her access.” replied the gatekeeper.

“Who is this acquaintance?” Wei Qingwan asked further.

“I cannot tell you. If you wish to know, you may ask Miss Wei yourself.” The guard had no intention of dealing with Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan’s face stiffened.

She had already done so much for a chance to meet Doctor Xu, yet she was blocked at the door by this crude servant!

With no other choice, Wei Qingwan could only choose to continue waiting at the door.

A good while later, apart from the patients who came out after their consultation, Wei Qingwan still couldn’t see anyone else coming out.

Wei Qingwan had to ask the guard again: “May I ask, when will Doctor Xu be coming out?”

The gatekeeper replied: “I do not know, the doctors usually come and go through the back door of the clinic, which I cannot see.”

There’s another exit at the back of this temporary clinic?

Wei Qingwan gave an astonished expression.

She had used up half a day’s worth of effort, only to find she was futilely busy!

“If there’s another exit, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Cuihe angrily questioned the gatekeeper.

“You didn’t ask me.”

“We have said that we have an urgent matter to see Doctor Xu!” Cuihe stomped her foot in anger.

“What does wanting to see Doctor Xu have to do with how many doors the clinic has?” The gatekeeper retorted.

“You!” Cuihe was so upset she couldn’t even speak.

She then turned to ask Wei Qingwan: “Miss, what should we do now?”

Wei Qingwan wasn’t sure what to do either.

After such a long time, Doctor Xu must have already left, it was already too late to rush to the back door.

“We should head back first.” Wei Qingwan decided after a long silence.

Cuihe helped Wei Qingwan to leave, they walked a distance, and entered a small alley where a carriage was stationed.

Just as the master and the servant were about to get into the carriage, a teasing female voice came from behind:

“Isn’t this the second Miss Wei? What’s going on? Why are you dressed like this? Have my eyes deceived me?”

Xiu Yaojun pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth wide.

Hearing the voice, Wei Qingwan trembled, then quickly lowered her head.

Xiu Yaojun got closer, came directly to Wei Qingwan’s side, and caught Wei Qingwan who was trying to escape.

“It really is you, Wei Qingwan; I thought I was seeing things!” Xiu Yaojun held Wei Qingwan’s hand, not letting her get away.

Wei Qingwan felt the other Madams’ voices behind her, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

“Let go! Let me go!” Wei Qingwan desperately wanted to break free of Xiu Yaojun’s grip.

But Xiu Yaojun, who rarely got such an opportunity, would not let Wei Qingwan go easily.

“Don’t rush off, Miss Wei. I’m genuinely curious as to why such an aristocratic and reserved lady like you is dressed in this way?” Xiu Yaojun held onto Wei Qingwan without letting go.

At this moment, Madam Yuan, Madam Xu, Madam Liu and other Madams, as well as their daughters had already clearly seen Wei Qingwan’s appearance.

Wei Qingwan hung her head lower in shame and anger.

Mrs. Yun was disbelieving. She hurried over to Wei Qingwan and asked, “WanWan, what’s going on? Why are you looking like this?”

“Mother…” Wei Qingwan’s voice was full of grievance.

“What on earth happened?”

With so many Madams watching, Mrs. Yun was also anxious.

“I…I wanted to help the disaster-stricken people.” Wei Qingwan had no choice but to come up with the excuse she had used before.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Yaojun couldn’t help but laugh out: “Ones as you, the future Concubine does not disdain to care about the people. Just that this way of caring for the people is so unique. A noble would-be Concubine, not afraid to dress in coarse clothing. Who knows what kind of help you’re offering.”

Wei Qingwan bit her teeth and glared furiously at Xiu Yaojun.

Not only did Xiu Yaojun not shudder, instead, she was very pleased. She loved seeing Wei Qingwan in this teeth-gnashing state.

“Yaojun, don’t be frivolous.” Madam Xu said seriously.

In front of so many madams, Xiu Yaojun didn’t dare to overdo it.

As soon as Madam Xu opened her lips, she stopped, running back to Madam Xu’s side.

The inquisitive gaze of the Madams and their daughters still lingered on Wei Qingwan.

Feeling the eyes of the Madams on her, Mrs. Yun felt like she had a knife in her back.

She didn’t know why her usually well-behaved and sensible daughter would do such an inappropriate thing.

Wei Qingwan desperately wanted to escape, the gaze of the people around her was a harsh punishment, she couldn’t bear it for a moment.

Madam Yuan said: “It’s a good thing that Miss Wei has the heart to help the disaster victims. It’s just that the area east of the city is full of mixed crowds due to the disaster victims gathering. It’s a bit dangerous for the Second Miss to go out with only one maid. Next time, bring more guards.”

“Yes.” Wei Qingwan answered in a low voice with her head lowered.

She felt that Madam Yuan’s words seemed to hint at something.

Then, Madam Yuan said to everyone: “Let’s continue going to the aid station to have a look.”

The initial destination of the madams was the aid station. They had prepared medicinal herbs specifically to be supplied to the aid station, so naturally they went to check the actual situation.

The madams walked away one after another. The last to leave was Mrs. Yun, who ordered Wei Qingwan to return home immediately with a gloomy look on her face before she left.

Once everyone was gone, Wei Qingwan was overwhelmed with a mix of anger, humiliation, and annoyance. Finally, with red eyes, she left.

When Mrs. Yun returned to the mansion after finishing her tasks, she summoned Wei Qingwan for a good talk. In the end, Wei Qingwan returned to Wangmei Garden in tears.

###

In the following half a month, the aid station ran smoothly, providing relief for hundreds or even thousands of people every day.

The doctors who treated the patients in the clinic were renowned physicians with excellent medical skills from all over Taizhou prefecture: Doctor Cheng from Zhengyutang, Doctor Cai from Baoshan Hall, Doctor Shen from Baicaotang…

These well-known physicians in Taizhou prefecture not only provided free medical consultations to the poor and disaster-stricken people but also gave away medicine for free.
