Chapter 384 Meeting an Old Friend

It snowed a little last night, but it's a nice day today.

Qin Xiaoning packed everything up, and except for the pine branches, she also brought Hong'er and Qing'er, who she brought back from Qianzhou, to meet Jiang Nu.

The medicine shop jointly opened by Mr. Wei and the Jiang family was located in the most prosperous area of ​​Chang Street, not far from the mansion. It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive.

This shop has three floors, and the plaque on the first floor has the words "Xuan Ji Pharmacy" in large letters.

Qin Xiaoning ordered Songzhi to go and knock on the door. After a while, Mr. Wei and Ms. Jiang came out in person to greet them.

The little woman was wearing a Xiangfei-colored skirt and a shiny white fox fur cloak. Her black hair was tied up with only a hairpin, but just by looking at the watery tip of the jade hairpin, one could tell it must be priceless and a one-of-a-kind piece that could not be found on the market.

"It's only been a few months since we last met, I really can't recognize you." Jiang Nu came up to me and said, "A Ning, you've changed so much."

As she spoke, she corrected herself, "Look at my memory. Now I should call you Princess."

Qin Xiaoning warmly held Jiang Nu's hand and said, "Don't be so formal. You are my benefactor. If you are like this, I will be embarrassed."

Second Master Wei stood aside, looking at Qin Xiaoning with a smile in his eyes: "As the saying goes, one should look at Qin Xiaoning with new eyes after three days of absence. Who would have thought that Ning has only been back in the capital for less than half a year and has become a princess? Seeing that you are living such a smooth life, we old friends are happy for you."

Mr. Wei is a very good person. When he was in Qianzhou before, he didn't know Qin Xiaoning's identity. Although he tried every means to get close to her and win her heart, now that he knows there is no chance for him, this man can let it go. His behavior and words all show that he regards Qin Xiaoning as a good friend. People always feel comfortable when they are in contact with him.

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly at Master Wei. "I would also like to congratulate Master Wei. Your business is really growing bigger and bigger. After this medicine shop opens, it will surely become the leading medical clinic in the capital."

Master Wei replied, "I am just a businessman who only knows how to use an abacus. As for business matters, I still have to rely on Doctor Jiang."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the clinic. All the medicinal materials were already prepared. In the main hall on the first floor, there were three doctors sitting on duty. Qin Xiaoning recognized one of them, it was Juxian.

The clinic is currently in trial operation. In order to attract word of mouth, the doctors provide pulse diagnosis and medical treatment for free, so many people come to consult. Juxian is the only female doctor among the three doctors, but she does everything from diagnosis to pulse diagnosis very well.

Seeing her high-spirited appearance, Qin Xiaoning said as she and Jiang Nu walked to the reception room, "It's only been a few months since we last met, but Juxian has changed a lot."

Ms. Jiang said, "This child has really changed. She is studying very hard and her medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I originally thought that she would have to wait at least two to three years before she could see patients. I never thought she would be so successful now."

Qin Xiaoning knew that Juxian was in love with Jiang Nu's son Zhao Yuan, so she asked implicitly, "When I returned to the capital, Mr. Zhao's leg was injured. He should be fine now, right?"

"It's nothing serious. Fortunately, I'm not disabled. But every time it's cloudy or rainy, I feel pain. Sigh! The injury was so serious that I'm considered healed now."

Jiang Nu also understood Qin Xiaoning's meaning, and she didn't treat her as an outsider, so she mentioned her son and Juxian'er: "Juer has always liked Yuaner, but you can't force feelings. In the past, Juer was always stubborn, but later, somehow, she came to her senses and stopped entangled in her feelings for Yuaner. She just worked hard to study medicine."

As she said this, Jiang Nu couldn't help but sighed, "But I am glad that Xian'er can do this. A woman can make a name for herself on her own, which is better than relying on a man."

Qin Xiaoning had always gotten along well with Jiang Nu, and the two chatted for a long time before they parted. When Qin Xiaoning left the clinic, it was already the western border of Wujin.

"Princess, look over there, it looks like the prince's carriage." Song Zhi whispered to Qin Xiaoning: "The prince has come here specially to pick you up."

Then, he said worriedly, "Knowing that you came to Master Wei's clinic and met with him, the prince will not be angry, right?"

"You're still angry from the past two days." The little maid persuaded Qin Xiaoning: "You'd better be careful and coax the prince more."

Qin Xiaoning listened to Song Zhi's chattering without saying anything. She walked to Lu Ji's carriage and asked the driver, "Is the prince in the carriage?" Before the driver could respond, a deep voice came from the carriage, "Get in."

The coachman opened the door swiftly, and Qin Xiaoning held Songzhi's hand and got into the carriage.

The man sat on the couch, his head against the wall, his eyes narrowed, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Qin Xiaoning sat down and asked him, "Why did you come back so early today?"

The man did not respond, but just closed his eyes and squinted lazily.

"You've been waiting for me here for a long time?" Qin Xiaoning asked, "Why didn't you send someone in to call me?"

The man still didn't respond, didn't even bat an eyelid, and looked like he didn't want to bother with her.

Qin Xiaoning glanced at him and said nothing. She then moved slightly to the side and leaned against the other side of the car to take a nap.

"You came out so early in the morning, why did you stay so long?"

After a long time, the man finally spoke. At this time, Qin Xiaoning was leaning against the wall of the car, almost falling asleep.

"Are you talking to me?"

The little woman rubbed her eyes, with a hint of laziness and looseness in her tone.

Lu Ji looked at her and snorted, "There are only you and me here. Who else can I talk to except you?"

There was still a hint of anger in his tone.

The man is used to being proud and being praised by others, so others always follow his lead.

Qin Xiaoning opened her eyes and gave Lu Ji a dark look: "Just now I was talking to you, but you ignored me. Now you suddenly speak again, who do you know who you are talking to?"

The little woman responded to the man coldly, then greedily closed her eyes and continued to squint.

Seeing the indifferent look of the little woman, the man gnashed his sharp white teeth at her angrily.

But in the end, she couldn't hold back her anger and spoke again: "It's that Jiang girl from Qianzhou who's here, right?"

Qin Xiaoning didn't even bat an eyelid, leaning lazily against the car wall, and just replied with a faint "hmm".

Lu Ji looked at her and sighed inaudibly.

"Will Jiang Nu stay in the capital from now on?"

Men are not the type to pay attention to such trivial matters. Knowing that he was just making conversation, Qin Xiaoning opened her eyes, but only glanced at him. When the man saw her looking at him, he couldn't help but sit up straight subconsciously.

As a result, the little woman only replied him with two words: "No."

Then he lazily closed his eyes again.
