After Zhou Xuan went to the backyard well to take a bath, he casually washed the clothes he had changed out of. Now that there was no longer any servant woman, everything had to be done by himself. After finishing washing and hanging them up to dry, he returned to his bedroom. It was probably around 1 o'clock in the morning when he lay down, but just as he did, he heard someone knocking on the door in the front courtyard. The Qin family's estate covered an area of five or six hundred square meters, and from the main gate to Zhou Xuan's bedroom was a distance of over thirty meters in a straight line, with many buildings in between. Yet the sound of the knocking still came through so clearly, it was obvious that the person knocking on the door was very urgent and was knocking very heavily.

  Zhou Xuan didn't know what had happened, was it the servant Lai Fu coming back with an urgent message? Or was it the county government coming to arrest someone in the middle of the night? He hastily put on his summer shirt, felt his way out of the room door, and arrived at the courtyard, where he saw that Qin's wife, Qin Que, and the needlework room all had their lights lit up. Qin's wife was speaking with a trembling voice, fearing that someone from her family was in jail, afraid of being knocked on the door in the middle of the night.

  "Mother-in-law, don't be alarmed, I'll go take a look," Zhou Xuan Yang said. He took a step towards the outside, and just as he reached the outer hall, a lantern's light shone from behind him, and Qin Que's voice said, "Young Master Zhou, let's go together."

  Qin Que didn't know who was knocking on the door, and she was also very scared. But seeing Zhou Xuan go out, she thought that she couldn't let Zhou Xuan bear everything, so she quickly lit a lantern and chased after him.

  Arriving at the front yard, I saw that Lu An and his old servant as well as the coachman had all gotten up and were standing in the yard, not daring to go open the door.

  The knocking at the door grew louder, accompanied by shouting: "Dr. Qin! Dr. Qin!"

  Zhou Xuan walked to the door and asked: "Dr. Qin is not at home, what can I do for you?"

  Someone outside the door heard a response and stopped knocking, shouting loudly: "My wife is having a difficult labor, the midwife says that only Dr. Qin's golden needle technique can save my wife's life, Dr. Qin, save her!"

  At this time, Mrs. Qin also came out with the help of her needlework assistant, and upon hearing that they were there to seek medical attention, she became very angry. Having been disturbed in the middle of the night, she thought it was the county government coming to arrest someone again, and said angrily: "Dr. Qin has been taken to the county prison, if you want to see a doctor, go to the county government!"

  The people outside the door lowered their voices, but became more urgent: "Is Miss Qin Zhuo inside? Please ask Miss Qin to save my wife, please!"

  Madam Qin became even angrier, this kind of person, upon hearing that Dr. Qin was arrested and thrown into prison, didn't offer a single word of comfort, but instead begged Qin Que, as long as he saved his wife, he didn't care about anyone else's life or death!

  "Qin Que is also not here, he's in prison serving his old father!" Madam Qin said with a huff.

  "Ah", the person outside the door cried out in disappointment and began to sob.

  Qin Que hastily said: "Qin Que is here, just returned from the prefectural government office, may I ask where your home is?" He softly told Qin's wife: "Mother, the patient still needs to be rescued."

  The people outside the door who were seeking medical help turned from sorrow to joy: "Miss Qin is here, that's great, thank goodness, Buddha bless us. I live in Hubinfang and have prepared a horse carriage, please Miss Qin come out and diagnose immediately, thank you, thank you."

  "Alas! My husband has been a doctor for thirty years, saving countless lives. Now that he's been wrongly imprisoned, not one person is willing to plead for his life or ask for leniency on his behalf..."

  The person outside the door hastened to say: "Is it Old Lady Qin? I didn't know that Dr. Qin was wrongly imprisoned, if I had known, I would have been the first to go to the provincial government office to strike a drum and proclaim his innocence. Dr. Qin is a well-known philanthropist in Jiangzhou, he will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."

  Zhou Xuan burst out laughing and said to Qin Furen: "Mother-in-law, this person is quite eloquent, so let your son-in-law accompany the sparrow then."

  Madam Qin responded with an "Mm-hmm".

  Qin Que glanced at his cousin Lu An, who retreated a few steps into the darkness as soon as Zhou Xuan suggested accompanying Qin Que. This made Qin Que feel helpless - that's just how his cousin was, always retreating in the face of difficulty.

  Zhou Xuan opened the door and was startled to see the medical seeker, who was indeed a foreigner with blue eyes, purple hair, a wide mouth and high nose, brown hair that was slightly curly, and skin that was not white but had a ancient copper color. He wore a black robe and held a green lantern in his hand. When he saw Zhou Xuan come out, he hastily retreated down the steps and raised the lantern in his hand to light the way.

  It seems that Qin Que's midnight visit is not the first time, Xiao Huixiang has already neatly packed up the medical bag and box, ready to follow.

  Zhou Xuan said: "Xiao Huixiang, give me the box, I'll accompany Miss."

  Xiao Huixiang glanced at Qin Que, who responded with a gentle "hmm". Most of the residents in Hubin Fang were outsiders, and it was always somewhat chaotic, with occasional fights and robberies. With Zhou Xuan accompanying her, she felt more at ease.

  Unconsciously, Qin Que had developed a sense of dependence on Zhou Xuan.

  Zhou Xuan asked the foreigner: "Brother, what's your surname and full name? Which country are you from?"

  That foreigner heard Zhou Xuan call him "old brother" and was flattered, humbly saying: "I am Abu, from the kingdom of Abos far to the west, which our Tang Dynasty calls the Black-Robed Da Shi. Please, both of you, get in the carriage."

  Zhou Xuan thought: "It turns out that they are Arabs. Arabs have money and know how to do business, so this carriage is very luxurious."

  Zhou Xuan followed Qin Que onto the carriage, where a black-robed big eater named Abu sat on the crossbar, urging the coachman to drive faster.

  It was late at night, and the sound of horseshoes and carriage wheels on the long street seemed particularly loud. The driver cracked his whip, and the two horses pulling the carriage suddenly surged forward. Qin Xiao wasn't prepared, and she fell backward. Zhou Xuan reacted quickly, stretching out a hand to support her back before immediately withdrawing it, smiling as he said, "Lean against the side of the carriage."

  Qin Que softly murmured "uh-huh", feeling inexplicably nervous in her heart, she hadn't felt this way when she first met Zhou Xuan, so why was she suddenly getting cold feet now?

  There was a delicate little lamp in the carriage, fixed on the wall of the car, which was obviously not in the style of Tang Dynasty, but like an Arabian magic lamp, with multiple colorful glass shades.

  Zhou Xuan saw Qin Que with lowered eyebrows and eyelashes, that kind of shy and timid demeanor he had never seen on Qin Que's face before, and couldn't help but feel delighted, calling out: "Que'er——"

  Qin Zhuo's heart was like a deer struck by an arrow, he did not dare respond.

  Zhou Xuan smiled brightly and asked: "Que Er, did you often go out for night visits in the past?"

  Qin Que relaxed a bit and replied: "About once or twice a month, Father is getting old, it's hard for him to get up at night, so I've been the one going out on calls since last year."

  Zhou Xuan sized up Qin Que, seeing her thin clothes and slender figure, her beautiful eyebrows perfectly groomed. Suddenly she thought: "Feng Ah Jian said that one glance can tell if a girl is a virgin, but how does he do it? Is it by looking at the eyebrows? The eyes? The lips? Tsk tsk, what profound knowledge! How did Feng Ah Jian learn it? Isn't she herself an old spinster?"

  Zhou Xuan's slender eyes were now shining brightly, making Qin Que's face flush with excitement. Suddenly, he said: "From now on, I'll accompany you to every medical examination."

  "Qin Que subconsciously asked: 'Why?'"

  Zhou Xuan said: "I'm worried, such a beautiful female doctor, I'm afraid someone will have bad intentions towards you."

  "You!" Qin Que's face turned even redder as she turned her head sideways, facing Zhou Xuan with a scowl, indicating that she was angry.

  Zhou Xuan said: "I'm telling you the truth, one can't be too careful."

  Qin Jian remained silent, as the horse carriage moved forward with a creaking sound, his initial feeling of shyness and annoyance gradually dissipated, and he felt Zhou Xuan's caring heart, although his words were a bit rough.
