In the backyard of the Red Mansion…

“Uncle, An Jing gave us the money obediently.”

Wang Zhiping sat down smugly.

Wang He frowned and slowly put down his teacup. “What’s there to be happy about? He gave us money, but he still refused to sell the title deed. Isn’t everything we’ve done useless? We only want the title deed.”

The reason why Wang He raised the price of the herbs was to force An Jing to yield and obtain the title deed in his hands.

Wang Zhiping’s smile faded. “Uncle, what should we do now? An doesn’t have any family members…”

“I don’t believe that his bones can be that hard!”

Wang He took a deep breath and said, “You go and think of a way for me. No matter what it is, you must obtain the title deed in his hands within half a month. Only by obtaining the title deed in his hands can my subordinates’ livelihood be stabilized. When the time comes, I will ask the Branch Master for the Kaiyuan Pill. Only then will we have a chance to take another step forward and reach Rank Five cultivation.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Wang Zhiping narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll make that An Jing hand over the title deed within half a month.”

Wang Zhiping knew in his heart that everything he had was thanks to this uncle of his. If his uncle’s position was stable, he would naturally be able to rise along with the tide.

Therefore, he had to take this title deed.

……..

The next day, the breeze was warm and the sky was clear.

At the entrance of the Ji Shi Hall, a carriage slowly drove over.

“Miss Zhao, we have arrived at the teahouse.” Uncle Niu glanced at the teahouse and said to the woman in the carriage.

As the curtain was lifted, Tan Yun slowly helped a woman down from the boat. She was none other than Zhao Qingmei.

Zhao Qingmei raised her head slightly and stared at the signboard in front of her.

The place where the two of them met this time was none other than the teahouse beside the Ji Shi Hall.

“Doctor Xiao An is the most famous doctor in Yuzhou City. He’s the youngest and most promising doctor. His medical center is right by the side. Go in and wait for a while. I’ll go call him over right now.” Uncle Niu smiled.

Others might not know, but Niu Fu knew that this young lady in front of him seemed to have come from a prestigious family in the Jade Capital. It seemed like her family had met with some trouble before she escaped to Yuzhou City.

Not only was she gorgeous, but her family was also wealthy. Now that she had grown up, she wanted to find a reliable person to marry. The only thing that was strange was that she was not interested in Young Masters of higher classes, but she had a special interest in the Physician of the Ji Shi Hall.

‘Doctor An, don’t be silly and miss out on the most important peach blossom in your life.’

Niu Fu prayed in his heart.

“Look, a beauty is here.”

“Really? Let me see.”

“What a beautiful person. She’s even more beautiful than the courtesan of Red Mansion!”

“Isn’t that Niu Fu? He doesn’t look like he’s here to see a doctor.”

“Eh, he walked into the teahouse?”

……

Upon sight of Zhao Qingmei, everyone in the teahouse began to discuss amongst themselves.

Tan Yun’s expression sank and he unconsciously rubbed his left index and middle fingers together.

So cold!

Everyone felt as if they had gone from a hot summer to a cold winter. They subconsciously tightened their sleeves and retreated to the sides.

Zhao Qingmei walked into the teahouse calmly.

Tan Yun was startled and quickly withdrew her aura. She stood at the side with her head lowered like a little maid who had never experienced the world.

Under everyone’s gaze, the two of them slowly walked to the private room on the second floor.

“Uncle Niu, this lady is so handsome. Which family is she from? Is she already tied to a marriage?” Someone asked impatiently.

“Get lost. This is the wife I found for Doctor An,” Niu Fu said in an unpleasant tone.

“Doctor An!?”

When everyone heard that, they looked at each other and revealed looks of envy.

Doctor An was a very famous doctor in Yuzhou City. His reputation was especially good and he was very respected in Yuzhou City.

Niu Fu ignored everyone and ran towards the medical center.

“Doctor An! Doctor An!”

Niu Fu shouted at the backyard.

“Coming.”

Not long after, An Jing walked out from the back hall.

Niu Fu urged, “The missy from the Zhao family is here. Quick, she’s in a private room at the teahouse.”

“Oh? I’ll go now.”

When An Jing heard this, he was too embarrassed to let a woman wait for too long. He simply packed up and walked towards the teahouse.

…..

In the private room on the second floor of the Datong Teahouse…

Many people had gathered outside the private room to watch the fun. They all stuck their heads out, wanting to see the woman’s face.

“Doctor An is here. Make way, make way.”

Uncle Niu squeezed through the crowd with An Jing.

He saw the girl in green sitting by the table. She looked natural and unrestrained, her eyes like were glistening like autumn waters and her cheeks flushed.

Her skin was smooth and fair, and she looked gentle and elegant, like a lady from a wealthy family.

For some reason, An Jing felt a sense of déjà vu when he looked at the woman before him. Could it be because this woman was too beautiful?

Uncle Niu hurriedly introduced, “Doctor An, this is Zhao Qingmei, Miss Zhao.”

“Greetings, Physician An.” Zhao Qingmei stood up and bowed slightly with her hands on her waist, her face flushed red.

Zhao Qingmei’s voice was light and melodious. It was worlds apart from the coldness of yesterday.

“You’re welcome. Miss Zhao, please sit.”

An Jing smiled.

Uncle Niu chuckled and gave Tan Yun a look before the two of them left.

“Wait!”

The two of them walked out of the private room and Tan Yun pulled Uncle Niu who was about to leave.

“Miss Tan Yun, what’s wrong?” Uncle Niu asked in confusion.

“We will stand guard at the entrance to prevent others from disturbing them.” Tan Yun said indifferently.

Although Tan Yun’s voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable tone.

“Okay… okay.”

Uncle Niu laughed dryly and could only agree.

……

In the private room of the teahouse…

“The Datong Teahouse is the most famous teahouse in Yuzhou City. Drinking tea is very good for the body. It is currently hot summer, and tea has the ability to reduce heat in the body.”

An Jing picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Qingmei.

Zhao Qingmei picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her eyes lit up and she said, “It’s fragrant and has a lingering aftertaste. Great tea.”

Her words came from her heart.

“I didn’t expect you to like tea too, Miss Zhao.” An Jing chuckled.

“Doctor An, you must be joking. I simply drank tea with my father for a few years and learned a little.”

She behaved appropriately and naturally.

The way she sipped her tea was very particular. She must be from a noble family. An Jing was increasingly satisfied.

“I’ve heard that Miss Zhao has moved here with your entire family. May I know where you’ve come from?”

Zhao Qingmei slowly put down her teacup with a sorrowful expression. “My parents passed away one after another, and I had no one to rely on, so I sold my house and returned to my ancestral land…”

Based on her words, she was originally from a scholarly family. Her grandfather and father were both officials in Jade Capital. Later on, her family declined and her mother passed away due to illness. Following her mother’s last words, she returned to Jiangnan Road.

In this difficult world, without the help of her brothers and sisters, she sold all her family assets and even brought a maid to Jiangnan Road. This was an extremely difficult task for an adult man, let alone a weak woman.

The two of them chatted for another 10 minutes and briefly understood each other.

An Jing then asked Zhao Qingmei about her birthday, and found out that she was two years younger than him.

He was extremely pleased with Zhao Qingmei.

This was his ideal wife, virtuous and gentle.

An Jing looked at Zhao Qingmei and asked, “Ms. Zhao, what do you want to know?”

“I have nothing to ask.”

Zhao Qingmei hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. However, she sighed in her heart and thought to herself, “It’s always hard to say certain things.”

“Looks like Uncle Niu has already told Miss Zhao.”

An Jing was slightly disappointed when he heard this. It seemed like he would not be able to obtain this azure opportunity.

Since Zhao Qingmei did not want to ask about it, her intentions were clear. She might not be interested in him..
