Chapter 533 - 353 Li Ke Begs for Forgiveness_2
"So it’s the Jade-faced Saint!" several ladies exclaimed in surprise, bowing and paying their respects.
Ran Yan had not expected that Liu Qingsong was indeed very famous among the common folks, it wasn’t all just him boasting. Today, she merely chose a few random people from the street, yet without exception, they had all heard of Liu Qingsong. It seemed that the so-called "friend of women" was not a title casually bestowed.
The ladies eagerly questioned Liu Qingsong about various topics, and roughly after the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Liu Qingsong cleared his throat and said in a light-hearted tone, "Ladies, from now on I will be the resident doctor at Qingzhu Medical Hall. If you have any difficult illnesses, feel free to come see me for a consultation. However, Lady Duanliang’s time is limited! I am far from matching Lady Duanliang’s expertise in beauty treatments, so you must make the most of this opportunity."
This little speech, modest to just the right degree, made him seem gentle as jade, of noble character. While he elevated Ran Yan’s status, he also subtly placed himself in the position of a master of medical arts.
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly exchanged a few courteous words with Ran Yan and then lined up in order for her diagnosis.
Wan Lu had servants prepare clean water and a screen, and with the help of Ran Yan’s specially formulated cleaning powder, what usually took a good half an hour now only required the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea. This piqued their interest while also boosting their confidence in Ran Yan’s medical skills.
Liu Qingsong, being a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, worked with Ran Yan to diagnose and prescribe individualized treatment plans for five people.
Before leaving, Ran Yan instructed her servants to package the cleaning powder they were interested in as gifts.
Liu Qingsong wore a light yet approachable smile as he saw them off all the way down the stairs to their carriages.
"Stop pretending, their carriages are already out of sight," said Ran Yan indifferently.
