My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 37 - 39: Befriending and Currying Favor with Miracle Doctor Qin

```

Qin Liuxi, a person who placed great emphasis on cause and effect, would not ask for more than the proper consulting fee after treating and saving a person; otherwise, she would bear the consequences.

Therefore, she rejected Landlord Qian's attempt to court her favor, simply agreeing that someone would come to buy from his shop, then she took her leave.

As Landlord Qian watched her departure, he turned back toward the mansion and ordered his steward: "Go and inform Manager Liao that if the person Dr. Qin mentioned comes, treat them well, no, no, no, actually summon Manager Liao here; I'll instruct him personally."

The steward said, "Master, I can convey the message myself; no need to trouble you."

Landlord Qian shot him a glare and said, "What do you know? Who is this Dr. Qin? A doctor! In the eyes of high officials and nobility, doctors are actually considered lowly and are looked down upon; however, when these nobles fall ill, who do they rely on but these very doctors? Making acquaintance with a doctor of exceptional medical skills is an excellent thing, after all, we are merely mortals prone to illness and pain. If we are faced with complex and tricky diseases that common doctors can't cure, then a divine doctor with extraordinary medical skills truly becomes invaluable."

"Not to mention something distant, let's talk about Lady Qian. She has seen many doctors without any improvement, but once Dr. Qin stepped in, with just one needle injection, hey, your lady could speak and sleep again. That's enough to see the exceptionality of her medical skills," Landlord Qian said with reverence, "Such a person, who wouldn't want to make their acquaintance? Especially for us businessmen, dealing in commerce and having interactions with both businessmen and officials—if someone on the other side has an illness that can't be cured, hey, if you could introduce them, wouldn't they owe you a favor? With this debt of gratitude, your own path broadens as well."

The steward praised while bending his waist, "It's really the master's foresight that's sharp; you certainly think more than us."

Landlord Qian smiled and said, "This Dr. Qin, although peculiar in temperament, also adheres strongly to principles. Straightforward in dealings, in fact, easier to get along with than other doctors. Such a person, even I might not be able to make their acquaintance, but now the opportunity has come. The person she sends over won't be a mere servant from her household; at the very least, it will be someone she knows. If I, your master, show good hospitality, I'll leave a lasting impression. Ah, speaking of which, I must see to it personally. Let's go, let's go."

The steward, witnessing the master's change of heart, couldn't help but be amazed—it was quite a show of importance for someone so young, but thinking of the other's medical expertise, it seemed quite justified.

Indeed, ordinary doctors are easy to find, but a divine doctor is hard to come by, and even harder to befriend.

What the steward doesn't know is that at this very moment, the divine doctor of high character that they speak of is looking at a box full of shiny gold ingots with a foolish smile.

"Young Master, there's a total of two thousand taels; Landlord Qian has been quite generous. He must be trying to curry favor with you," Chen Pi counted them.

Qin Liuxi toyed with an ingot and said, "After all, it's about his wife and child's lives; how could he not be generous?"

"Is Lady Qian's pregnancy really that dangerous?" Chen Pi asked further.

"Abnormally swollen fetus, liver fire rushing up, spirit and vital essence both depleted; when the time comes for childbirth, without the protection of vital essence, how could she survive?" Qin Liuxi said indifferently, "The final outcome is but forced delivery, and with such a method, the mother's body will inevitably perish."

Chen Pi shuddered and said, "Well, they're quite fortunate to have met you, Young Master."

"It is because Landlord Qian has accumulated some merit; he must have done many good deeds in his business ventures, otherwise..."

Thump.

The carriage came to a sudden stop.

Qin Liuxi's head hit against the side of the carriage, and she couldn't help but wince in pain.
