Chapter 423: Opening a Small Medical Hall?

Jiang Feng heard the hostility in Xue Wenshu's words, but his face showed no ripple, only a faint Laughter.

"I have been orphaned since childhood, grew up in the countryside following my master, and have only just arrived in Jiangcheng not long ago."

As soon as those words were spoken, Xue Wenshu's eyes flashed an unmistakable smugness, and the corner of the Mouth almost lifted upward.

Indeed, it was exactly as she had guessed!

This kid is nowhere a boyfriend of Nie Qianxue; clearly he's just the shield that this damned girl hired with money!

No lineage, no background, and someone like this dares to deceive the Nie family? Truly laughable!

Later, after a few more thorough interrogations, I'll be sure to make him slip up, and then we'll see how Nie Wenchang still protects Nie Qianxue!

Xue Wenshu quickly suppressed the secret joy in her heart, her face still bearing that gentle and virtuous Laughter, but her eyes now held a few barely perceptible hints of contempt.

She did not Immediately respond, but turned her head to look at Nie Wenchang.

Indeed, Nie Wenchang's eyebrows slightly furrowed at that moment.

He is not someone who despises the poor and loves the rich, but the Nie family is after all a great clan in the Provincial Capital, and Qian Xue is the daughter he has cherished for so many years; in his heart he still hopes his daughter can find someone of comparable lineage.

Jiang Feng's background is indeed too ordinary, one could even say it's shabby.

With such conditions, not only would the Eldest branch not agree, even he himself inevitably feels some discontent.

Nie Qianxue instantly sensed the odd atmosphere, her heart tightened Immediately, and she hurriedly spoke up to defend Jiang Feng.

"Dad, don't say that! Jiang Feng really works especially hard; he now runs his own Medical Hall, and Throughout Jiangcheng he's especially famous!"

She said while anxiously looking at Nie Wenchang; she knows how formidable Jiang Feng's medical Art is, and also knows that her father has always valued Doctors the most.

Indeed, upon hearing this, Nie Wenchang's complexion instantly cleared from cloudy to sunny.

He was in poor health when young, had seen many Doctors, and has always respected those with outstanding medical Art. Moreover, being so young yet able to run his own Medical Hall and make a name in Jiangcheng shows that Jiang Feng indeed possesses True Skill.

"Oh?"

Nie Wenchang raised an eyebrow, and his gaze toward Jiang Feng even carried a hint of curiosity.

"I didn't expect little Jiang to be a Doctor? Being so young yet able to run his own Medical Hall and make a name, indeed not easy."

Jiang Feng heard this, and simply smiled with Humility.

"Uncle, you flatter me. I only learned a few medical Arts from my master when I was young, not really outstanding. Now opening a small Medical Hall is just barely enough to make a living."

Nie Qianxue, upon hearing this, could only offer a bitter Laughter.

Mr. Jiang is also too Humble!

With his medical Art, not to mention Jiangcheng, Throughout Jiangnan there is no telling how many nobles and dignitaries are crowding to request his services!

Even figures like Jiangnan Wang have already been treated by Mr. Jiang into complete submission.

If father knew that Mr. Jiang is a big boss who can even tame Jiangnan Wang, he would probably now want to pack her up and send her straight to Mr. Jiang's side, caring not at all about lineage.

Unfortunately, she cannot say those words, she can only keep them bottled up inside.

How could Nie Wenchang know the tangled thoughts in his daughter's heart? He truly thought Jiang Feng was just making a living.

Opening a small Medical Hall, barely making a living, with such conditions, how could he match Nie Wenchang's daughter?

How could this satisfy the Eldest branch?

Even if Jiang Feng's medical Art is good, in front of an absolute lineage background, this bit of medical Art is essentially worthless.

The Eldest branch people have only family interests in their eyes; with Jiang Feng's conditions, they will definitely oppose in a Hundred ways, and then Qian Xue will still suffer grievances.

Thinking of this, Nie Wenchang's gaze toward Jiang Feng added a few more layers of complexity.

Xue Wenshu kept a fixed stare on Nie Wenchang's changing expression, and upon seeing dissatisfaction appear on his face, her heart instantly blossomed with joy.

This is exactly the effect she wanted!

She immediately seized the opportunity and spoke.

"Wenchang, don't overthink it. It's good for a young person to have a particular skill, and diligence deserves recognition. However, Qian Xue has been pampered since childhood, never knowing hardship; we elders always hope she can live peacefully and comfortably."

She paused, her gaze shifting to Jiang Feng, her Laughter still gentle, but her words now began to pose a challenge.

"Mr. Jiang, Qian Xue just said your Medical Hall is famous in Jiangcheng; we elders are also pleased for you. However, hearing is uncertain, seeing is certain; how about we go to your Medical Hall right now? That would fully reassure us elders, knowing that Qian Xue follows you and can indeed live well."

As soon as those words were spoken, Nie Qianxue's heart Immediately gave a sudden thump, and she hurried to try to refuse.

"Auntie, doesn't it have to be so troublesome? There might still be Patients in the Medical Hall…"

But before she could finish, Jiang Feng directly took over the conversation.

"Sure. It's perfect for Uncle and Auntie to give me some guidance; I originally planned to expand the Medical Hall toward the Provincial Capital."

As soon as he said that, Xue Wenshu Immediately burst into a giggling Laughter, her face showing exaggerated approval.

"I didn't see little Jiang had such ambition; truly a promising youth!"

For someone like you, an orphan and good-for-nothing, opening a shabby small Medical Hall barely to make a living, and still wanting to expand to the Provincial Capital?

What kind of place is the Provincial Capital?

The Nie family there has to watch people's expressions; with your meager ability, going to the Provincial Capital would just have you crushed in minutes, wouldn't it?

It's truly a toad dreaming of swan meat, utterly ridiculous!

Nie Wenchang originally wanted to see what Jiang Feng's Medical Hall was really like, and upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, he Immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then we'll go take a look."

He was actually still a bit curious, after all, being so young yet able to make his Medical Hall famous does indicate some skill.

Moreover, if Jiang Feng truly has the ability to expand his Medical Hall to the Provincial Capital, that shows he is indeed not ordinary, and then the Eldest branch will also have an answer.

Seeing father and Jiang Feng both agree, Nie Qianxue found it hard to oppose further, and with a bitter Laughter she consented.

The group quickly boarded the carriage and headed toward Jishi Hall.

The vehicle drove for about ten minutes and arrived at the Jishi Hall Gate.

Jiang Feng was the first to push open the car door.

"Uncle and Auntie, we've arrived; this is my Medical Hall, Jishi Hall."

Nie Wenchang and Xue Wenshu got out of the car one after another, then looked up at Jishi Hall.

The front of Jishi Hall was indeed not large—just the width of two shops—its décor was simple, and a wooden sign hung at the gate, giving it a certain charm.

A few patients waiting to see a doctor stood at the gate, all dressed as ordinary commoners, which looked completely unlike the scene of nobles gathering that Xue Wenshu had imagined.

Xue Wenshu curled the corner of her mouth into a barely perceptible cold smile.

Sure enough, it's a tiny, run-down medical hall—it can only treat these ordinary commoners, no wonder it can barely scrape a living.

Such a medical hall dares to say it wants to develop in the provincial capital—laughable!

Nie Wenchang, looking at the Jishi Hall before him, frowned slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of disappointment.

"Little Jiang... your clinic is indeed a bit small."

Just then, two figures suddenly arrived at the gate of Jishi Hall.

"Excuse me... is Doctor Jiang in?"

Seeing the two figures, Nie Wenchang suddenly froze.
