Chapter 202 A Visit to the Cheng Residence
Inside the carriage, Long Chuqing remained silent for a while before finally speaking up: "Why don't you just not go and go straight back to the manor?"
Xiao Han countered, "Why won't you let me go?"
“Look.” Long Chuqing stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Han up and down: “Look at the brocade robes you are wearing. From any angle, you don’t look like my apprentice or guard. Even if you say it, no one will believe it.”
After hearing Long Chuqing's words, Xiao Han subconsciously glanced at himself. Sure enough, as she said, his appearance was far from that of an apprentice or a guard. He had never noticed these details before.
However, he was determined to go with Chu Qing today. After a moment's thought, he raised his eyes and called out to the car door, "Qingyang, come in for a moment."
Qingyang, who was sitting outside, quickly lifted the carriage curtain and poked his head in after hearing Xiao Han call him. He respectfully asked, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions for me?"
"Hmm, come in. Take off your outer garment and exchange clothes with me."
Upon hearing this, Long Chu hurriedly said, "No need for such trouble. Why don't you wait for me outside? I'll be out soon!"
Seeing this, Qingyang quickly and cleverly said, "No trouble at all, as long as Your Highness doesn't mind what I've worn."
After saying that, he quickly began to unbuckle his belt. As he did so, he thought to himself, "It's not easy for the prince to accompany Miss Long on a medical consultation. I must quickly create opportunities for them to spend time together!"
After taking off his clothes, he handed them to Xiao Han: "Your Highness, here you go. Well, I won't wear your clothes! You can return them to me after you and Miss Long come out."
Watching Xiao Han put on Qingyang's outer garment, Long Chuqing could only shake her head helplessly.
"Your Highness, would you like this?" Qingyang handed a mask that could cover half of his face to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han glanced at the mask in Qing Yang's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it.
He looked up at Long Chuqing sitting opposite him, then looked down at the mask in his hand: "Chuqing, why don't you put it on?"
Long Chuqing: "...?"
"They've already seen me! Wouldn't it be pointless for me to go wearing a mask and trying to hide myself?"
"Just tell them you have a rash on your face."
"I'm a doctor. If I can't even cure the rash on my own face, how can others believe in my medical skills?"
Xiao Han was speechless for a moment after hearing her words. He turned the mask around and said, "Fine, I'll wear it then!"
Before long, they arrived at the gate of the Cheng residence. Long Chuqing stepped forward and explained the purpose of her visit to the gatekeeper.
The doorman looked the young and beautiful woman up and down, his face showing a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, and his attitude was quite cautious.
Since he had never seen Long Chuqing treat their young master, he couldn't help but wonder. This girl was so young, it was hard to believe that she could treat people.
However, he dared not be negligent, because the second young master's condition had indeed improved in the past two days. What if it was really this young lady who cured him?
If we dismiss it, the master will surely blame us when he finds out.
He first invited Long Chuqing to the living room and served her tea, then went to report to the butler, Dafu.
Walking from the gate of the mansion to the living room, one can still see the festive decorations everywhere, especially the bright red "double happiness" characters on the doors and windows.
Since Master Cheng went to the shop today and is not at home, Dafu learned that Long Chuqing was coming today, so he went to find Madam Cheng.
Before long, Mrs. Cheng arrived in the living room.
With a warm and friendly smile on her face, she walked briskly forward to greet him, "Miss Long, you've arrived."
Long Chuqing stood up from her chair, bowed slightly, and greeted her, "Greetings, Madam."
As their eyes met, Long Chuqing noticed that Madam Cheng wore a relaxed and cheerful smile today, a stark contrast to the sorrowful and somber expression he had seen on her during their joyous occasion the day before.
It must be because the second young master's condition has improved significantly in the past two days.
“Miss Long, we all thought you would come tomorrow. We didn’t expect you to come today. Unfortunately, my master went out on business early this morning. The original plan was to go out today and stay at the manor to wait for you tomorrow.”
Madam Cheng said with a hint of regret, "If my husband had known you were coming today, he would definitely have kept you at home to entertain you."
Faced with Madam Cheng's earnest words, Long Chuqing smiled slightly: "It's alright. I came here mainly to give the Second Young Master a follow-up examination. If Third Master Cheng has important matters to attend to, he can take care of them himself. There is no need to delay this matter. Even if he is not at home, I will definitely do my best to treat the Second Young Master. You don't need to go to the trouble of entertaining me."
"The reason I chose to come today is that the prescription I gave for the second young master the day before yesterday was a bit too strong and is not suitable for long-term, large-volume use."
"After all, the Second Young Master's physical condition is too weak right now, and I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand such a strong medicine. So after much consideration, I thought I'd come over as soon as possible to carefully examine his pulse and then adjust and modify the prescription according to the actual situation."
Madam Cheng smiled with relief upon hearing this and nodded. "You are so thoughtful, young lady. It is truly a blessing for my son to have met you. If he had met a doctor with such excellent medical skills as you earlier, he would not have suffered for so many years."
"Madam, you don't need to dwell too much on the past. Isn't it the best outcome that the Second Young Master is alright now?"
"Yes, yes, you're right. I shouldn't ask for too much. Now that I know Chuan'er's health has recovered to its original state, it's already a blessing from God."
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Madam Cheng continued, "By the way, why didn't Young Master Nangong come with you today?"
Young Master Nangong? Xiao Han, who had been standing silently to the side, frowned slightly when he heard Madam Cheng mention Young Master Nangong. Although his face was not visible due to the mask, his brows were slightly furrowed.
A question arose in his mind: Could it be that Nangong Ming accompanied Chu Qing here before?
Long Chuqing replied calmly, "Last time, I only happened to meet him on the road, which is why we traveled together here. We were just strangers who met by chance, and we each have our own lives."
After hearing Long Chuqing's words, Xiao Han's brows relaxed instantly, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
"So that's how it is!" Madam Cheng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous just now, I hope you won't take offense."
Long Chuqing smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind: "Madam is too kind, it's alright."
At this moment, Madam Cheng noticed Xiao Han, who had been standing quietly to the side, and asked in confusion, "Miss Long, who is this young master?"
