The idea that Jiang Wan gave to Shen Cang was not so much about making money as it was about controlling Shen Qiyin.

While he, as her father, is out in the wind and rain, she is sitting in the house leisurely and comfortable. If others see this, won't they poke her in the spine and call her unfilial?

If she didn't want to bear the blame, she could only ask him to go to Guangrentang for consultation.

Or, she could use the money to open a clinic for him.

With this plan in mind, Shen Cang endured the embarrassment of setting up a shabby stall in front of others.

But for some reason, the development of things was not quite the same as what he and Jiang Wan had expected.

Ever since he set up his stall here, not only did passers-by look at him strangely, but even the surrounding vendors looked at him as if he were a fool from time to time.

Shen Cang was completely confused.

Fortunately, Shen Qiyin was really "stimulated" by him.

She stood at the door of the clinic, looking puzzled: "What is going on, father?"

"Didn't you ask me to set up a stall to treat patients? I am following your instructions. What's the matter? Is my stall in front of your clinic stealing your business? Or do you think I have brought shame to you?"

Anyone can hear the sarcasm in these words.

A hint of sneer flashed across Shen Qiyin's eyes: "I didn't know when my father would listen to his daughter so much."

"I didn't want to marry Feng Heng that day, so I asked you to cancel the marriage with the Feng family. Why didn't you listen?"

"My eldest brother was lying in bed with serious injuries and his life was in danger. I kindly gave him some medicine, but why didn't father listen to me and give it to him, but threw the medicine away instead?

"Besides, before I became your disciple, I begged you to teach me medicine. Why didn't you just listen and teach me?" She used his words to stop him: "Are you afraid that I will steal your business? Or are you afraid that I will embarrass you?"

Shen Cang's face turned green.

He discussed the matter with Jiang Wan at home, and thought his rhetoric was flawless, but who knew that this girl would actually be so treacherous.

Shen Cang was just wondering how to explain himself, but he heard Shen Qiyin say, "Father, we don't need to play dumb anymore. You set up your stall here today because I said that day that I couldn't have you come to Guangrentang for consultation, and you were upset, so you came up with this idea to make me bear the stigma of being 'unfilial', right?"

"Oh, I didn't..."

"You don't have to refute. The neighbors are not fools. Everyone can see what you are thinking." Shen Qiyin looked chilled and unwilling to talk more. He said, "Guangrentang is my master's clinic. He set the rule that non-disciples of this sect are not allowed to practice medicine here. Otherwise, if someone is treated badly, it will ruin his reputation."

"You think I am occupying your position and not giving you room. Well, I will give up my seat to you today. From now on, I will not come to the clinic to see patients. See if my senior and junior brothers will agree to let you practice medicine here."

Shen Cang didn't feel happy at all after hearing this.

Now that his thoughts have been exposed by her, how can he enter Guangrentang again!

Otherwise, it would be obvious to everyone that this was his plan.

This damn girl...

Really amazing!

What made Shen Cang feel even more embarrassed was that when the people around him heard that Shen Qiyin would no longer be practicing medicine at Guangrentang in the future, they immediately surrounded him. At first, they just begged Shen Qiyin not to leave, but later on, they even started to scold him.

"Let's go, why are you still standing here?"

"Since you are her father, Arya is giving you face, but you can't be so stupid."

"Master Shen, don't think we don't know. You were kicked out of the Imperial Hospital. Even the Emperor doesn't dare to ask you to treat patients. Although we common people are not as precious as the Emperor, are we cheap people? Everyone's life is life, so don't come out and harm others."

"If your medical skills are not good enough and you end up hurting people while treating patients, that's one crime. If you force Dr. Erya to stop treating patients at Guangren Hall, that's another crime. If you move your business to this branch, what if..."

Before the man could finish his words, a group of people suddenly rushed over from not far away.

The leader was Qian Chuan, a constable from Jingzhao Prefecture.

He jumped off his horse, kicked Shen Cang's stall open, and called on his companions behind him to carry the injured person off the carriage.

In a hurry, he didn't care about much else and dragged Shen Qiyin to the clinic: "There was a tiger on Cuiming Mountain that injured someone. We were ordered to go up the mountain to catch the tiger today. Unexpectedly, Li Ji was accidentally scratched by the tiger and bled profusely."

"Sister Erya, please take a look at him and see if he can be saved."

With his life at stake, Shen Qiyin had no time to care about Shen Cang and was only busy saving people.

What Jingzhao Prefecture did was also to help the people avoid disasters and misfortunes, so everyone couldn't help but be worried about it.

As a result, he turned his sight and saw Shen Cang actually tidying up the broken stall while complaining unhappily, saying: "This is my stall. Even if you are an employee, you can't just destroy it."

The other two detectives were already worried about Li Ji's condition and had no place to vent their anger. After hearing what Shen Cang said, they immediately got angry.

"What did you say?" One of the detectives was particularly hot-tempered. He kicked Shen Cang's stall and knocked it down again, angrily saying, "To prevent delays in treatment, stalls are not allowed in front of the clinic. This was expressly prohibited by the government that day."

"You broke the law knowingly. You should be secretly happy that I didn't arrest you. How dare you say such outrageous things!"

Hearing this, Shen Cang shuddered.

He was saying, why are there vendors setting up stalls in front of every shop, but the one in front of Guangrentang is clean and tidy with no one occupying it? It turns out that this is the reason.

No wonder those people looked at him so strangely.

But why didn't anyone tell him?

How could Shen Cang know that most of the shops and vendors on this street were acquainted with Shen Qiyin and had regular dealings with her. They had also heard that she was not having a good life at home, so they naturally sided with her.

In addition, ever since Shen Qiyin told him to "set up a stall to practice medicine" on the street that day, she had been on guard against him doing such a thing with her, so in front of others, she deliberately talked about it with Dazhuang and others, saying that Shen Cang was making a fuss at home and wanted to come to Guangrentang to practice medicine.

Da Zhuang and San Wa understood what he meant very well, so they cooperated with each other and mentioned Shen Cang twice a day to let everyone know his shameful thoughts.

Now that he has done this again, it will only make people think that he is vicious and even plotted against his own daughter.

After all this commotion, Shen Cang was riding on the tiger's back, caught in a dilemma.

If he just left in disgrace, it would further confirm everyone's speculation about his purpose today.

But if you don’t leave...

He can't set up a stall in front of Guangrentang, so what's the point!

He had no choice but to find another place, thinking that he could at least pretend to leave and prove that he was not targeting Shen Qiyin intentionally.

The customary standard fee for medical consultation in Shangjing City is five cents of silver for ordinary consultation and six cents of silver for home consultation.

This is the price in every clinic.

But if the doctor is kind-hearted and the patient happens to be from a poor family, he can let the doctor pay with something in exchange for the money, even an egg or a basket of eggs.

Or like Guangrentang, which runs a clinic and a drug store together, they can collect the consultation fee but not charge for the medicinal materials.

But no matter what, the explanation given to the public was still that a consultation fee of five cents was collected.

This is the rule of this business.

But Shen Cang broke it!

In order to restore his reputation and gain some good name for himself, he actually reduced his consultation fee to three cents!

Shen Qiyin heard about this while taking a break for tea after taking care of Li Ji's injury and almost choked.

As expected of the person who gave birth to Shen Yaozu, she is really capable of doing things.

"So your father might not be very good..." Si Tunan scratched his head in embarrassment: "But is he stupid?"

By doing this, wouldn't it be obvious that all the medical clinics in the capital would be offended?

After Si Tunan finished speaking, he saw Shen Qiyin frowning, and thought she was unhappy to hear it, so he quickly apologized: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to scold him, I just can't understand his behavior."

Before Shen Qiyin could say anything, Chunsheng spoke first: "You have only been here for a short time, so you don't know the temperament of our second in command."

"She frowned, not because you called her father a villain, but because you used a questioning tone."

Si Tunan was shocked: "…Is that so?"

As soon as I asked, I heard Shen Qiyin muttering to himself: "He is not only stupid, but also foolish!"

Chunsheng shrugged, as if to say, "Just look at me and tell me."

Si Tunan nodded blankly.

A little surprising, but not much.

Shen Qiyin had originally thought of healing Li Ji's injuries before taking care of Shen Cang, but now it seemed that perhaps she didn't need to do anything, as he could cause a lot of trouble on his own.

"Situ, help me keep an eye on him and see if anyone is causing trouble for him."

"If so, how?"

"If you have any, just watch them for a while and come back to tell me about them."

"What if not?"

"If you don't have any, come back and tell me." If no one bothers him, then she will ask someone to bother him.

"……okay."

Situ Nan turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"I have a question. I wanted to ask you before. Why do you call me 'Situ'?"

Although she didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, Shen Qiyin still explained: "It feels strange to call you by your full name 'Si Tu Nan'."

"Then you can call me 'Tunan'." Just like she called me "Chunsheng".

"But isn't your surname 'Situ'?"

"Who said my last name is 'Situ'?!" Situ Nan was completely shocked.

So they have known each other for such a long time, but she even got her last name wrong!

"My last name is Si!" He spoke word by word, "Si, the length of the sun and the moon!"

"He who carries the blue sky on his back and cannot be stopped, will be the one who will go south."

"Si, Tu, Nan!"

After Si Tunan finished speaking, he ran away with a bang.

Shen Qiyin stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Chunsheng and the others thought that she had misunderstood Si Tunan's name and was still in shock and hadn't reacted yet. Little did they know that she was thinking about something completely different.

The surname "Si" is not common.

Anyway, as far as she knew, there was only one family with the surname Si in Shangjing City.

That is the maternal family of the late queen.

Five years ago, because of the case of the Crown Prince's treason, all the people from the Queen and the Crown Prince to the entire family of the Grand Tutor were executed, and no one was spared.

Since then, she has never heard of anyone with the surname Si again.

But the child said his last name was Si...

Is it a coincidence? Or did the Grand Tutor's Mansion really have an orphan?

Si Tunan was naturally unaware of the various speculations in Shen Qiyin's mind.

He followed Shen Cang's figure and turned two streets before finding that he had set up a stall again at the entrance of an alley.

The weather was cold, and he sat there motionless, which inevitably made him feel colder and colder.

I was planning to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, it suddenly opened!

A man of the same age as him came to his house with his hand covering his head, saying that he had a headache. After repeatedly confirming that the consultation fee was only three cents, he was willing to sit down and let him take his pulse.

Shen Cang took his pulse and found that apart from a weak kidney, he had no other problems.

But the man insisted that he had a headache and even said, "Can you do it?"

"If I hadn't lost all my money in the casino and had only these three taels of silver left, I wouldn't have come to you for treatment."

"Normally, if you go to a clinic, they will just give you a few acupuncture treatments and you'll be fine."

As he spoke, he impatiently withdrew his hand, stood up and wanted to leave: "Don't take this money, it's not that I'm refusing to pay, it's just that you are incompetent. You can't even cure the disease, so why do you want money!"

As if that wasn't enough, he began to remind passers-by: "Hey, this guy can't even cure a headache, he doesn't even know how to do acupuncture, I've tried it for you, don't come."

Seeing this, Shen Cang became extremely anxious.

If this person keeps yelling like this, even if he opens his own clinic in the future, I'm afraid no one will dare to enter.

So he quickly retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just acupuncture, who doesn't know how to do it?"

"Come if you can!"

"Come on, come on!"

Shen Cang was already very angry with Shen Qiyin and was determined to let the world see his medical skills. Naturally, he could not resist the provocation from the other party and took out the silver needle without saying a word.

The two of them even moved into the alley, found a place where the wind was not blowing, and then started acupuncture.

It went pretty smoothly at first.

The man gave timely feedback: "Hey, don't say that. Really don't say that."

"how do you feel?"

"It really doesn't hurt as much as before."

"You see."

"Well, don't underestimate you."

"right?"

"Please treat me well. After you succeed, I will pay you for my treatment. I can also help you promote my business--" The patient's next words suddenly turned into a shrill scream.

He howled like a pig being slaughtered, and everyone looked over there.

Shen Cang was startled by his sudden jump and the silver needle in his hand fell to the ground.

Looking at the man again, he was lying on the ground, twitching and starting to roll his eyes.

Shen Cang was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Murder! Murder! Mr. Shen killed someone with acupuncture! Someone come quickly!"

The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. People on the street were all saying that Shen Cang had treated a patient and killed him.

When Si Tunan came back to study, he specifically told Shen Qiyin: "I also heard about it. The man died. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I was far away. When I rushed over, I couldn't grab the first position."

It's not hard to hear that his tone is full of regret.

Shen Qiyin originally wanted to go and take a look in person, but before she could walk out of the clinic, she saw an extremely luxurious carriage parked in front of the gate of Guangrentang, blocking her way!
