Chapter 12
All of a sudden, the situation in G.o.dly Doctor Square changed. Although n.o.body left, no one entered either.
They were all waiting for somebody to become a sacrificial sheep, but still, n.o.body appeared.
But Baili Huangzhuang was not the least bit surprised as she watched the scene in front of her. In fact, she had already thought that something like this would happen when she first chose to open up G.o.dly Doctor Square.
Ji Wenbei had already finished their first business transaction before G.o.dly Doctor Square opened and had long since left for Ten-thousand Medicine Lane.
"The first three patients get their medical examinations free, so why isn't anyone coming forward?"
Amongst the crowd, a man who had just arrived at G.o.dly Doctor Square saw how n.o.body moved, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This so-called doctor is only a 15-year old girl with no elders supervising her, so who'd let her diagnosis and treat them? What if her diagnosis and treatments were incorrect?"
"Ai, this looks like it's no more than a rich little missie's farce, it's better to go, ah."
Everybody shook their heads as the crowd in front of G.o.dly Doctor Square gradually dispersed. After all, n.o.body would want to accompany a little missie's farce.
Looking at this scene, Baili Huangzhuang was still indifferent. Her original target customers for her hospital were big shots like ministers, officials, and royalty. Only they could give her a good profit.
She didn't have so much free time that she would practice medicine freely for the public. This hospital was no more than to pave a way for her own cultivation, so whether the common people entered or not, it was of no concern to her.
However, a figure in the crowd stared deeply at Baili Huangzhuang, and only when he was completely certain of her ident.i.ty, did he leave.
Chen Imperial Mansion.
"You said Baili Huangzhuang opened a hospital called G.o.dly Doctor Square?" Dibei Chen's handsome face was filled with interest as he twiddled with a ring on his thumb, staring at Hei Mu.
Hei Mu nodded earnestly, "Right, but the girl's age was too young so n.o.body believed her or went into her hospital."
Dibei Chen's air was relaxed, not the least bit surprised as he continued to ask, "And how did she respond?"
"Awfully calm." Hei Mu pondered and examined Dibei Chen, "Her reaction was rather similar to how little lord would've reacted."
Dibei Chen's deep, ocean like eyes glowed with brilliant blue and purple light as he muttered, "The current Baili Huangzhuang is many times different compared to the past. What happened in the past few years to make her change like this?"
"According to the information I found, this change occurred after Baili Huangzhuang attempted to commit suicide, as if she had been swapped with a different person." Hei Mu's voice was doubtful as he reported back to Dibei Chen.
"If she wasn't swapped with a different person, then it can only mean that she was hiding all along." Dibei Chen's eyes narrowed, "Has she hid her true self all along just
Something like replacing someone with a different person was something that could only happen in theory, the possibility was too low. Therefore, the only possible way was hiding herself.
Baili Huangzhuang's sudden change after the marriage was annulled, other than this reason, there were none.
Hei Mu was shocked. He knew that Xuanyuan Huan had always been unhappy with the marriage, but why would Baili Huangzhuang have such an intense hatred with it as well?
"Hei Mu, come and visit G.o.dly Doctor Square with me later." Dibei Chen chuckled, "I should also visit my wife occasionally."
Hei Mu was stunned when he heard Dibei Chen's words. His eyes widened as he stared at him disbelievingly, almost wanting to slap himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Was this really his little lord speaking?
"Master, not a single patient came, ah." Little Black sat on the table, his big, round eyes filled with distress.
She used to look forward to watching G.o.dly Doctor Square's business bloom to follow Master to eat, but now she's afraid that Master herself might starve to death first.
"What’s the hurry? Master obviously has a solution." Little White countered.
Baili Huangzhuang touched his head, "Little White is smart!"
"Master, what’s the solution?" Little Black curiously peered at her face, full of antic.i.p.ation.
Baili Huangzhuang smiled mysteriously, "This time, we’ll depend on Xuanyuan Huan’s help."
Little Black was startled, her round eyes glimmering with surprise, "That stupid Prince? How can he help us?"
"Right." Baili Huangzhuang smiled cryptically, "The news should’ve spread to the Imperial Castle by now."
The two fluffb.a.l.l.s looked at her smile, puzzled. They really couldn’t figure out what Master had meant.
"Wife, why did you leave without a word? It was really difficult to find you, ah."
A rich voice, warm with alcohol held traces of both blame and delight interrupted Baili Huangzhuang’s thoughts.
Hearing this shameless and familiar voice, Baili Huangzhuang’s face changed as she turned around only to see, sure enough, Dibei Chen standing behind her.
"Who is your wife?"
Baili Huangzhuang raised an eyebrow, her bright, clear phoenix eyes glittering with a dangerous light.
Last time, this guy was so shameless as to renege on a debt. This time, he even took advantage of her orally!
Dibei Chen looked at her innocently and blinked with his bright eyes, "Wife, I’ve already become one of your people, don’t tell you don’t want to take responsibility?"
"When did you become one of my people?"
Baili Huangzhuang was helpless. She really didn’t expect that this dignified looking Prince Chen would actually turn out to be so shameless, completely ruining his good looks, ah!
"On that bright, sunny day……"
"Just get to the point!"
"You saved me in front of so many people, so I naturally wanted to devote my body to you." Dibei Chen’s face was earnest, "I am not a man who goes back on his word."
When Hei Mu saw his always calm and indifferent little lord suddenly turning into a downright rogue, he couldn’t help but sputter in shock.
It seems like little lord really treats this Baili Huangzhuang differently, ah.
"If you really want to thank me, then never appear in front of me again. Then, I’d be very thankful to you."
She truly was helpless against this guy with such a flawless face. Even playing as a rogue, he still flooded with irresistible charm.
But even so, Baili Huangzhuang knew that he wasn’t the simple cripple he seemed to be on the surface. It’d better to avoid such a tricky person.
However, Dibei Chen just acted like Baili Huangzhuang never said anything as he continued to talk, "Wife, I didn’t think that you’d be skilled in medicine, ah."
As Dibei Chen examined the hospital, Baili Huangzhuang gave him a disdainful look. She really had no idea why Dibei Chen came to bother her.
"But your business doesn’t seem to be doing well, want me to help?"
Baili Huangzhuang inspected Dibei Chen. With this fellow’s rouge like qualities, his intentions most likely aren’t good.
"What can you do for me?" Baili Huangzhuang asked, "If you could gift me the hundred gold coins you previously owned me, it’d be a great help."
"Talks about money really hurts my feelings. With our relations.h.i.+p, we can just skip over matters about money."
A charming smile sat on Dibei Chen’s lips like a fresh breeze, giving off a soothing feeling.
Though of course, that was only relevant to other people. For Baili Huangzhuang, she could only think about how his rogue-like qualities were truly engraved deep into his bones.
"Between us, although I can’t do much about the money, I can help you gather customers, ah!" Dibei Chen grinned.
