Qiu Tingxuan glanced at the next person waiting to see a doctor, a woman in her thirties, wearing coarse linen clothes, with rough skin and thick calluses on her hands, clearly a poor peasant woman. The woman had a timid expression on her face, looking at herself, wanting to sit down but not daring to, afraid of disturbing Qiu Tingxuan and Wang Pingan's conversation.

  Qiu Tingxuan had seen this expression many times before. He furrowed his brow and said, "Lady, do you know who I am?"

  The peasant woman shook her head, she didn't read books or seek fame, what's the point of recognizing Master Qiu? Even if she did recognize him, it would be better to spend that effort feeding the chickens she raised.

  Qiu Tingxuan nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll know each other from now on." He took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the peasant woman, saying, "I'm in line before you, okay?"

  The peasant woman was stunned, looking at the money in his hand, and didn't dare to take it. Others had to spend money to see a doctor, but Ping'an Xiao Shenyi's clinic didn't charge any fees, which was already an incredibly good thing. Now, not only did she not have to pay for medical treatment, but someone was also giving her money - this kind of good fortune was simply unimaginable!

  Wang Ping'an smiled and nodded at the peasant woman, indicating that she should take the money. The peasant woman then took the money, a joyful smile spreading across her face, and walked to the back of the line, rejoining the queue.

  Qiu Tingxuan turned around and clapped his hands loudly, looking at Wang Ping'an: "Now it's my turn, I have three questions to test you..."

  Wang Ping'an smiled and thought to himself, "You want to play a trick on me? Go ahead and play your little game. You can do whatever you want, I'll just pretend I don't see it. Even if you manage to create something amazing, it has nothing to do with me!"

  He raised his hand and shouted at the people behind him, "Come on, next one!" Still these words, still these four characters, once again embarrassed Qiu Da Gongzi on the spot!

  Cheng Jisheng couldn't help but laugh, he really found it hilarious. He turned around, pretending to stroke his beard with his hand, and chuckled uncontrollably!

  Qiu Tingxuan's face almost turned green with rage. "Alright, alright, you win, I concede! This time he was straightforward and didn't bother to say it one by one. He turned around and said loudly: "If none of you have an emergency... I don't think any of you have an emergency, go to the car outside the hospital, each of you will receive 10 copper coins from my servant, then go home and come back tomorrow to see a doctor!"

  The patients in the queue were shocked! Unbelievable, each of us was given ten copper coins just to come back tomorrow for treatment? When patients still have money to take, it can't be true! They turned their heads to look at the peasant woman who was queuing last, and the peasant woman felt very embarrassed. Suddenly she asked: "If I come again tomorrow, can I also get ten copper coins?"

  "Alright, go and get it!" said Qiu Tingxuan with a nod.

  The patients finally believed it was true, they were all poor rural farmers, ten copper coins were not a small amount for them, and they took the money, why not take it? They rushed out of the hospital and ran to the carriage to collect their money!

  Wang Ping'an clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Qiu Tingxuan with a smile all over his face, without saying a word.

  Qiu Tingxuan thought to himself: "This trip is really not worth it, Wang Ping'an's reputation as a divine doctor has spread far and wide, I'm afraid my own reputation as a spendthrift will spread just as quickly!"

  "Ah, finally! It's my turn now!" said Qiu Tingxuan, clearing his throat. "I have three questions for you, listen to the first one..."

  Before he could say anything, a man rushed in from outside, holding ten bright copper coins in his hand, and ran to Wang Ping'an's side, saying loudly: "Thank you, Little God Doctor Ping'an for the reward!"

  Wang Ping'an nodded and smiled: "Buy some food, go back and add some dishes, nourish your body!"

  The man nodded and thanked him, then turned and left.

  Qiu Tingxuan looked sullen, that money was given by me, why didn't he thank me, instead thanked him, this is ridiculous!

  Those who received the money swarmed into the courtyard, all coming to thank Wang Ping'an, and then returned home to add dishes. From start to finish, not a single person thanked Qiu Tingxuan, holding copper coins in their hands, passing by his side without stopping for half a step!

  Qiu Tingxuan was initially just sulking, but by the end he was left standing there with his eyes wide open and mouth agape, watching as the common people thanked Wang Ping'an. It wasn't until the crowd had dispersed that he came back to his senses, at which point he angrily exclaimed: "These ungrateful wretches, they truly don't know what's good for them!"

  Cheng Jisheng couldn't bear it anymore, walked slowly to the corner of the wall and burst out laughing. He thought: "What's wrong with country people? They are simple and honest, who is genuinely good to them, who is hypocritical, they can tell! Since they can tell, why still thank you?"

  Qiu Tingxuan was furious, walking up to Wang Ping'an and shouting: "I have three questions for you, listen carefully..." His forehead bulged with rage, he was truly angry!

  Wang Ping'an interrupted him, saying: "I only diagnose patients, but you have no illness, just some questions. I don't want to answer them now!" Looking at Qiu Tingxuan's anxious expression, he added: "Judging from your appearance, if you can't ask these three questions, you'll get sick from frustration! Fine, wait until you're really ill, then come find me!"

  Qiu Tingxuan was so angry that he was fuming, he had grown up to this age and had never seen such an infuriating young man. Others who saw him either praised or flattered him, but no one had ever tried to make him so angry that he got sick. This young Wang fellow was really too much!

  He turned his head to look at Cheng Jisheng, but found no one behind him. He looked again and saw Old Man Cheng standing under the wall, shrugging his shoulders repeatedly, doing who-knows-what! He called out: "Mr. Cheng, he...he...!"

  Cheng Ji Sheng suppressed his smile, finding it rather difficult to hold back, and after coughing twice, he turned around and said: "Ping An, or would you like to listen to Qiu Gong Zi's question?"

  "Wang Ping'an shook his head and said: 'Only examine the patient, don't answer questions!'"

  "You really wish I'd get sick from anger, don't you!" Qiu Tingxuan flung out his sleeve and strode out of the hospital without saying another word.

  Cheng Jisheng smiled and nodded, turned around and followed Qiu Tingxuan out of the yard.

  Arriving in front of the carriage, Qiu Tingxuan stopped in his tracks. His family's servant lifted the curtain and waited for the young master to get on board. Cheng Jisheng also arrived behind him, but Qiu Tingxuan didn't move.

  After a while, Qiu Tingxuan turned his head around, the angry expression on his face was gone, and he had already put on a smiling face. He gave Cheng Ji a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Cheng's introduction is good, this Ping'an Xiao Shenyi indeed has high moral character, not afraid of power and influence. If it were someone else, they would have tried to curry favor with me when they heard that I was the young master of Xiangtong Academy. But Ping'an Xiao Shenyi treated me as if I were just an ordinary patient's family member, equal to everyone else! He is a good man, worth getting to know!"

  Cheng Jisheng snorted and took a cold breath. Just now, Qiu Tingxuan had an arrogant attitude because he was a spoiled rich kid who had been flattered for years, achieving success at a young age, so he looked down on others. Even if he asked someone for help, he would still look down on them to see if they were worthy of his request. This was the normal behavior of a spoiled rich kid who didn't know how tough life was, and it was detestable but not scary.

  However, Qiu Tingxuan is now showing a smile, and it's clear that he's about to use his sinister tactics! Qiu Tingxuan has been educated in the ways of officialdom since childhood, where ferocious gods are not to be feared, but what's fearsome is the honey on one's lips and the knife hidden in one's belly!

  Qiu Tingxuan said: "Come on, Mr. Cheng, let's go in together and get to know the little peaceful divine doctor!"

  Cheng Ji thought to himself, "This is going to require some tactics!" He hastily said, "Let me go in instead, and have a peaceful discussion with the young doctor. Perhaps we can even ask Lord Wang and Lady Wang for help. The young doctor will surely not refuse to make a diagnosis!"

  "No, no, we'll go together. Only then can I show the sincerity of the Qiu family!" said Qiu Tingxuan with a smile all over his face.

  Cheng Jisheng's mind was as clear as a mirror. He had grown older and his experiences were rich, so how could he not know what Qiu Tingxuan wanted to do?

  Qiu Tingxuan first found an excuse for himself, and after entering the house, he would definitely say to Wang Ping'an, "Others all say that you have high medical ethics and good character, but I don't believe it. Just now was a test of yours, unexpectedly, after testing, I found that you are indeed as rumored, so I sincerely want to make friends with you." After the sweet talk, he would then say that he has been troubled by three questions and wanted to ask for advice.

  At this time, the trick was set, and no matter whether Wang Pingan answered these three questions or not, he would be deceived. If he answered correctly, he would have to make a diagnosis, even if he cured Qiu Wengpu, Qiu Tingxuan would still look down on him from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was a useful fool. If he couldn't answer, he would be humiliated immediately, and Qiu Tingxuan would not only mock him in public but also spread the word everywhere that Wang Pingan's medical skills were poor, ruining his reputation!

  Cheng Ji couldn't bear it in his heart and said, "Qiu Gongzi, let's all get along harmoniously. Some things don't need to be taken so seriously, do they?"

  "Come on, come on!" Qiu Tingxuan pulled his hand and they re-entered the courtyard.

  In the courtyard, Wang Ping'an was nowhere to be found, only a blonde-haired and blue-eyed girl standing beside the table, who was Ke Lianwu. Seeing them return, the girl said: "Young Master knew that Mr. Qiu would come back, so he asked me to pass on a message to you!"

  Qiu Tingxuan was stunned on the spot at the time, how did he know I would come back?

  Cheng Ji Sheng was still worried about Wang Ping An, but now he suddenly relaxed and took a look at Qiu Gongzi who was as stiff as a wooden chicken. He thought to himself: "You've met your match!"
