I insist

Chapter 529: Inquiry

Since Song Miqiu had said so, the city lord's wife had no reason to refuse and could only agree.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."

Song Miqiu shook his head: "It's nothing, but you should also be prepared, there's a possibility that I won't be able to cure your illness either, so as not to be disappointed in the end."

"Madam, it's already very kind of you to be able to see me. To be honest, I had long since given up all hope," the city lord's wife said, bowing her head.

Song Miqiu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the chair, then gestured for her to sit in the chair opposite him.

The city lord's wife obediently placed her hand on the table, and Song Miqiu placed his own hand on her wrist to carefully take her pulse.

Duan Jiayan stood aside, nervously looking at Song Miqiu, afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear.

Before they knew how much time had passed, Song Miqiu's voice, like heavenly music, reached their ears.

"There's nothing seriously wrong with your health; it's treatable."

Then, she quietly redeemed some tonics in the system, placed them on the table, and said to the city lord's wife, "Take this medicine for a month and you'll be cured."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at the city lord's wife and Duan Jiayan, and found that they were looking at her in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

Just as Song Miqiu was about to say something, Duan Jiayan spoke first, asking, "Madam, did I hear you correctly? You said my sister's health is perfectly fine?"

"You can cure it? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Madam. I knew you were very capable."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the city lord's wife and said with a smile, "Sister, did you hear that? There's absolutely nothing wrong with your body."

"It's so wonderful that the old lady was able to cure you, sister, can you hear me?"

Upon hearing Duan Jiayan's words, the city lord's wife finally came to her senses and asked excitedly, "Madam, is what you said true? Although I know I shouldn't doubt your abilities..."

But, but I'm really afraid it's all just wishful thinking. Is that really true?

"Sister, of course it's true, and you can try it. I don't think the old lady would harm us," Duan Jiayan persuaded.

Song Miqiu understood her excitement, and she nodded repeatedly: "It's true, the medicine is already here for you. If I really can't cure you..."

I will tell you directly, after all, this is a matter of life and death, and I can't just say anything casually.

"Thank you, thank you so much! You're like a second parent to me. I'm so grateful to you," the city lord's wife said with a smile.

Song Miqiu shook her head: "It's alright. After all, he said I'm a doctor. Since I'm a doctor, it's my duty to treat patients and save lives."

Despite saying that, the city lord's wife still had her maid deliver the gifts, all of them high-quality items.

Song Miqiu did not refuse, but she only took one item as payment for the consultation.

"The matter has been resolved, so I'll be leaving now, Lady City Lord. Although this medicine can treat your condition, you still need to take good care of yourself."

Maintain a calm state of mind and don't overthink things; it doesn't do much good for your health.

Song Miqiu stood up and spoke softly to the city lord's wife.

The city lord's wife understood that Song Miqiu was trying to comfort her, and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, madam, I will."

Song Miqiu nodded to her, then turned and left. The city lord's wife watched her leave; today's events were enough to make her happy.

Just as I reached the entrance, I ran into the city lord who had just returned.

The city lord was quite surprised to see Song Miqiu at his residence. He quickly greeted her with a smile, "Madam, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

I heard Jia Yan is at your restaurant. Has he gotten into trouble again? If so, please tell me directly, and I'll deal with him for you.

"No, you're overthinking it. I just came to take a look," Song Miqiu said calmly.

The city lord knew it was a lie as soon as he heard it. She had refused to stay at the city lord's mansion before, so who knew why she was here now?

After the two had been talking for a short while, Song Miqiu left, while the city lord went directly to the city lord's wife's courtyard.

At this moment, Duan Jiayan and the city lord's wife were talking about something, both of them with smiles on their faces, looking very warm and loving.

But the city lord's arrival shattered the warm atmosphere. The moment he saw Duan Jiayan, he asked, "Have you gotten into trouble again? You went to the old lady's restaurant?"

Can't you just be honest? Don't you already know who she is? Why can't you just behave? Do you have to cause trouble for no reason?

Before Duan Jiayan could say anything, the city lord's wife couldn't stand it anymore.

"What are you saying? Did you even ask the old lady yourself when you saw her? Did she complain to you? And yet you come here to speak ill of my brother?"

Shouldn't you investigate this matter thoroughly? You should have just asked the old lady what she said.

The city lord's wife stood up, looked at him angrily, and asked loudly.

The city lord had never seen a lady like this before. He said hesitantly, "The old lady said it was nothing, she just came to check on things, but this explanation..."

"It sounds fake. If it weren't for this, why would she be here?"

"It was for my sake, to check on my health. My brother saw that I was depressed because of my health, so he asked the old lady to come and take a look."

"She used to be an imperial physician, now you understand? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense, and don't speak ill of others." The city lord's wife said loudly.

The city lord was surprised by this. He looked at his wife with some embarrassment, then glanced at Duan Jiayan. He couldn't help but think about what Duan had done before.

"You should go back first. The old lady probably still needs your help. Don't overwork yourself," the city lord's wife said gently to Duan Jiayan.

Duan Jiayan acted as if he hadn't seen the city lord. He nodded and said, "Okay, sister, I'll be right there. Don't suffer any grievances. If you're unhappy..."

Just go home. I think I can support you. Don't stay here and be angry.

The city lord's wife patted Duan Jiayan's head and said with a smile, "It seems my little brother has really grown up. Okay, I'll remember that."

Duan Jiayan nodded to her and walked outside. As he passed the city lord, he snorted coldly and stopped calling him "brother-in-law."

After Duan Jiayan left, the city lord finally asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to get your health checked?"

"What am I supposed to do if I don't check my health? Am I supposed to wait for you to take a concubine or divorce my wife before taking another?" The city lord's wife looked at him calmly.

The city lord quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. Don't overthink it or let your imagination run wild."

He had also heard about his affair.
