Li Jin rejected the scented letter.

He maintained a calm and composed attitude while attending to his patients, not even a hint of displeasure on his face despite the girl before him.

Having witnessed similar situations in his past life, he remained unfazed.

Although Li Jin dislikes strong odors, he possesses a keen sense of smell.

He recognized the fragrance as the same one worn by the top courtesan in Piaoxiangyuan last month.

Observing Li Jin's silence, Zhou Gui comprehended his intentions and asked in accordance with Li Jin's rules, "Do you have any physical discomfort?"

The translation goes, "If you're sick, seek treatment; if you're not, leave."

While working under Doctor Wu, Zhou Gui had encountered individuals who came seeking attention without any medical issues.

Doctor Wu's response was to dismiss them without a word.

Despite being old enough to be the grandfather of these young women, there were still those who wished to marry him.

Li Jin adhered to his habit from his previous life, ensuring that those before him had no need for medical attention before turning them away.

However, should they require treatment, he would fulfill his duty to heal and save lives.

This may contradict some ancient beliefs, but it was Li Jin's personal practice.

Having chosen the path of medicine, he took an oath on his first day of school and first day of work, never easily giving up on any life.

The girl in the pink dress did not understand Li Jin's ways. Upon hearing Zhou Gui's question, she hesitated before answering, "I don't feel well, and I'm here to deliver a letter to Doctor Li."

Li Jin replied, "Believe it or not, you can go."

Aware of his rules, Zhou Gui immediately raised his voice, "Next."

The young girl wished to say more, but the next patient was already waiting behind her, prompting her to stand and give up her spot.

If news spread that the top courtesan from Piaoxiangyuan was delivering letter to a man, it would adversely affect her business with the wealthy individuals in town.

The little girl stared, she was about to cry, looking aggrieved.

Li Jin observed the situation but remained unfazed. As a doctor, he only provided medical services and nothing else. Meanwhile, the young girl ran away while covering her face.

Meanwhile, Qin Muwen was in the inner hall and witnessed the scene. He didn't recognize the girl but he could also see the clues from the girl's anger. Apparently, there was a girl in town who had set her sights on Li Jin.

Qin Muwen wondered why the girl didn't seek the help of a matchmaker if she was serious about finding a husband. However, Li Jin's apathetic demeanor towards the situation reassured Qin Muwen.

He had never been too demanding and didn't want to be possessive of his husband. He knew that jealousy could lead to disastrous consequences. Despite his efforts to control his emotions, Qin Muwen couldn't help but feel sad and envious.

Fortunately, it was Mid-Autumn Festival, and there weren't many patients around. Li Jin wrote a few prescriptions and explained them to Zhou Gui. He couldn't sit still, he lifted the curtain and walked into the inner hall, where he coincidentally ran into the shopkeeper's party who had brought red date porridge and sweet snacks.
