Gu Beiyue told Qin Min about Master Qin's request to see Qin Min.
Qin Min bowed and said seriously, "I'll listen to the director's arrangements."
An indescribable feeling of unfamiliarity washed over him. It was as if they had returned to the first time they met. Qin Min's attitude was not only polite but also respectful. Gu Beiyue did not realize that he had inadvertently furrowed his brows.
He said, "Miss Qin, it's only right for you to see your father."
"Thank you, Director." Qin Min stood up and added, "Father just wants me to plead for leniency. Don't worry, Director. Qin Min knows her limits."
Gu Beiyue was silent for a while before saying lightly, "It's fine as long as you know your limits. Go."
Qin Min bowed again and left.
No matter how close a person was, they would become strangers in the time it took to say harsh words. Moreover, they were not close.
His back was facing the door. She walked out of the door and brushed past him.
Qin Min did not turn back, but Gu Beiyue did. He looked at Qin Min's gradually disappearing figure and sighed unconsciously.
After bumping into her in the study that day, they had not seen each other. When she lived in this courtyard, he was always busy until late at night and slept in the study.
Today, when they met, she was even more polite than that day and even seemed distant. He knew that she was still angry.
Anger would turn into forgiveness, and also into despair. He was waiting, waiting for the latter …
Qin Min had the title of the director's wife, so it was easy to order people around in the medical school's prison.
She ordered someone to change her father's cell to a more comfortable one and send him hot food.
She originally thought that her disappointing younger brother would come to the prison. Although he could not bail him out, he could at least ensure that her father had enough to eat and wear. Unfortunately, her disappointing younger brother didn't come, and even her sisters didn't come.
If she didn't remember wrongly, just yesterday, her younger sisters had come to ask for an audience, but Shaoyao had turned them away.
She sat in the wheelchair and quietly watched her father wolf down his food. It was not that the prison did not provide three meals, but her father had been pampered since he was young. How could he get used to food? Her heart was stifled, but she did not show her emotions.
After filling his stomach, Qin Fengli opened his mouth and said, "Min 'er, since you're willing to come and see me, I have no more regrets in this life."
One had to know that ever since Gu Beiyue sent people over to ask for her hand in marriage, he had been constantly asking his daughter for this and that. After his son and daughter got married, his secret letters never stopped. He wanted his daughter to fight for the benefits of the Qin family in front of Gu Beiyue. He wanted his daughter to give birth to a son for Gu Beiyue as soon as possible and consolidate her position as the legal wife.
Unfortunately, his daughter had never paid attention to him. Even when the news of the miscarriage came, he went to Ningzhou in person, but his daughter did not see him.
He thought that his daughter would ignore him for the rest of her life.
"Father, why did you call your daughter here?" Qin Min asked indifferently.
"Do you still resent Father?"
Seeing that Qin Min was silent, Qin Fengli said, "In the past, Father let you down. Your acupuncture skills … were taught by the Dean? "
After his daughter's legs became crippled, he did not care about her anymore and gave all the learning opportunities to his other daughters. In order to let his other daughters get married, he even wanted to force her to marry an old man.
When Gu Beiyue sent people over to ask for her hand in marriage, he was so shocked that he did not sleep for three days and three nights. He had also asked his daughter the reason, but unfortunately, his daughter did not say anything.
Now, his daughter had displayed such shocking medical skills. Who else could it be other than Gu Beiyue who taught her?
Qin Min did not answer and said indifferently, "Father, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Qin Fengli was anxious and blurted out, "Min 'er, you must be careful of Fourth Miss Ren!"
Qin Min was slightly stunned and finally looked at her father seriously.
"Min 'er, Fourth Miss Ren's medical skills were also taught by Gu Beiyue! Otherwise, how could she be so capable at such a young age? "Qin Fengli said seriously.
Qin Min knew all of this. She remained silent.
"Min 'er, the Ren family is different from our family! Think about it carefully. If Gu Beiyue can marry you, why can't he marry Fourth Miss Ren? "
Seeing that his daughter was indifferent, Master Qin simply laid it out and analyzed it carefully for his daughter.
In his opinion, Gu Beiyue married her to use the Qin family to suppress the Ren family. Now that he and Master Ren were in prison, the power of the two families would definitely be taken over by the new heirs.
From the Qin family's point of view, Qin Min, as the elder sister, would definitely support her biological younger brother. In other words, Qin Min would become the behind-the-scenes controller of the Qin family.
From the Ren family's point of view, although First Young Master Ren was capable and could take on the responsibility of being the head of the family, his status in the medical school was ultimately not as high as Fourth Miss Ren's. In other words, First Young Master Ren would have to listen to Fourth Miss Ren in everything. Fourth Miss Ren would be like Qin Min and become the true head of the family.
"Min 'er, if Fourth Miss Ren treats the Ren family as … haha, as a dowry and wants to marry Gu Beiyue as a concubine, what do you think you should do?" Qin Fengli asked softly.
Qin Min still didn't speak.
Qin Fengli paused for a while before he revealed his true purpose. "Min 'er, you can't lose the Qin family. Without the Qin family, what will you use to compete with Fourth Miss Ren in the future? "
Qin Min finally understood her father's meaning. Her father said so much because he wanted her to help her useless younger brother to prevent the power of the Qin family from falling into her second uncle's hands.
Qin Min sighed softly in her heart. Why didn't her father just say what he wanted to say? Why did he have to involve Fourth Miss Ren? After all, her father didn't understand Gu Beiyue.
Gu Beiyue didn't marry her to use the Qin family to restrain the Ren family. Moreover, Gu Beiyue wouldn't marry Fourth Miss Ren just to win over the Ren family.
If he wanted to control Medical City, there were many ways. As long as he was willing to be ruthless, no family could escape from the palm of his hand.
As for the marriage …
Until now, she only knew that he didn't know why he was marrying her, but she didn't know why he was marrying her.
For example, after getting along with him, she paid attention to everything, but she only knew what he didn't like, but she didn't know what he liked.
Since her father saw Gu Beiyue this way, the Ren family must also see Gu Beiyue in the same way. The purpose of Gu Beiyue's trip this time wasn't to win over anyone, but to abolish all the family's privileges and the medical school's monopoly on the medical world.
In other words, Gu Beiyue's trip this time was to hand Medical City over to the imperial court and the Long Fei Ye!
That day, Gu Beiyue didn't punish the Elders Council in public, but delayed it. In the past few days, Gu Beiyue had secretly sent people to spread the news that he was going to reform all the systems of the medical school. He was going to hand over all the major powers of the medical school's teaching, grading, and granting of medical qualifications to the imperial court.
Gu Beiyue ordered people to spread the news to test everyone's reaction. Since her father was imprisoned here, he naturally hadn't heard about this. Qin Min didn't say much and only said, "Father, no matter who is in charge of the Qin family, as long as they can carry forward the Qin family's acupuncture technique and heal the wounded and dying, they will be worthy of our ancestors. The dean is a smart person and will not treat the Qin family unfairly. "
"Min 'er!" Qin Fengli was anxious.
Qin Min smiled, "Father, I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing in prison. If you need medical books, just tell the jailers and they will find them for you. Father's medical skills are superb and can cure countless illnesses. I hope that father will keep his heart in the forest and ignore right and wrong disputes. Min 'er is already married and can't bear such heavy responsibilities. Brother is still young and his medical journey is long, so he still needs father's guidance. Father, take care. "
After Qin Min finished speaking, she called Shaoyao to send her away, leaving Qin Fengli stunned in place and unable to recover for a long time.
He didn't know if Qin Min wanted to say these words to him herself or if Gu Beiyue had asked her to warn him. However, he understood the knack of these words.
He had lost his position as the head of the family, his title as the Medical Sage, his power, and his wealth. However, he didn't lose his medical skills. He could still treat illnesses and save people, and he could still impart his medical skills. The Qin family's biggest bargaining chip was his medical skills!
After leaving the prison, Qin Min didn't go back immediately. She and Shaoyao went to the south of the city and were about to enter an inn. Unfortunately, they didn't walk far before they were surrounded by passersby.
Before she married Gu Beiyue, she often sneaked out of the Qin family and wore a veil to treat patients.
Any inn in Medical City could find many patients who couldn't find a famous doctor. At that time, she could go to three or four inns and see more than ten patients.
At first, those patients didn't believe her and thought she was a liar, but she always had a way to convince them.
At this time, she was wearing a veil just like in the past. However, she was surrounded by passersby before she even entered the inn. This was because they recognized her servant girl, Shaoyao.
Everyone surrounded her. Some were simply looking at Qin Min, some were incessantly asking questions, some wanted to take Qin Min as their master, and some even sought medical treatment.
Ever since she saved the old man's life, she had become famous throughout the Medical City. She was admired and respected by everyone. Some people even made her story into a nursery rhyme and sang it among the children, praising her for her stubbornness and unwillingness to submit to fate.
One had to know that when she married Gu Beiyue with a crippled body, more than half of Medical City was cursing her!
Unscrupulous methods, seductive seduction, and premarital pregnancy. In short, she was almost treated as a vixen.
This time, instead of saying that she became famous in Medical City, it was more accurate to say that she made a name for herself.
The happiest person was none other than Shaoyao. However, this had nothing to do with Qin Min. She was a very interesting person who could live happily by herself. The comments of irrelevant people didn't affect her.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Qin Min whispered, "Shaoyao, where's the carriage?"
"It's in the alley up ahead," Shaoyao quickly replied.
"Then why aren't we leaving?" Qin Min asked in displeasure. She didn't like being surrounded and stared at like a monkey. Moreover, Gu Beiyue had spread the rumors, so many people in Medical City were dissatisfied with him. As his wife, she'd be implicated as well. The more people gathered, the greater the danger.
"Make way, make way!"
"Please make way, we have urgent matters to attend to. Don't block the way!"
"If you want to seek medical treatment, go to medical school. I'll arrange the time for you. Make way! "
… …
Shaoyao didn't think too much at first, but as more and more people gathered around, she became afraid.
