Once Jiang Yichun arrived at the Female Physicians Institution, Jinyao Niang told him that Bai Ruozhu had gone to the Harem for a consultation and would be back shortly.
Since the Female Physicians Institution was staffed entirely by female doctors, it wasn't appropriate for Jiang Yichun to stay there, so he thought about sitting in the Room at the Imperial Medical Hospital for a while; wasn't his wife's disciple at the Imperial Medical Hospital?
Indeed, when he went over to the Female Physicians Institution, he saw Jiu Sheng and greeted him, asking, "How long will it take for Ruozhu to return?"
With a sidelong glance, Jiu Sheng responded with visible annoyance, "How would I know!"
Jiang Yichun was taken aback; although his wife's disciple was somewhat older, he had always been very respectful and polite in the past. Why was he showing so little respect today?
