After Fleeing, The Calamity Princess Consort Empties Her Enemy's Storehouse

Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...

Chapter 108 I came to you to ask for something

Chen Xiangxiu paused, then nodded: "What the young doctor said is right, wouldn't it be simpler to just ask the prince?"

After saying that, he stood up and left sadly.

She said so much, but it didn't have any effect at all. The other person just dismissed her with just one sentence.

Du Wanwan was not surprised. The nanny put down ten taels of silver and helped Chen Xiangxiu out.

In the days that followed, whenever patients came to see her for colds and flu, Du Wanwan would prescribe pills for them. At first, the people didn't believe it, but after taking it, they found it was very effective and everyone believed it.

Especially for families with young children, the pills given by Du Wanwan are sweet, and many children are reluctant to eat them and keep them in their mouths.

He even boasted to others: "I have candy, given by the People's Hospital. You don't have it, but I do. It's very sweet, especially sweet."

The child was greedy and lied to the parents when he got home: "I have a cold and need to go to the People's Hospital to see a doctor."

The adults didn't know and thought it was true, so they brought the child here. However, after Du Wanwan felt the child's pulse, she told them, "The child is not sick, he is fine."

The child cried and asked: "Doctor! I am sick, really sick, I want to eat the sugar pills you made. My neighbor's puppy ate it and said it was sweet. I want it too. Please prescribe it for me!"

The adult was dumbfounded, and then roared: "You little bastard, you actually lied to me. You made me scared just to eat the candy pills. I will beat you to death."

The patients waiting in line nearby were all laughing, thinking the child was really naughty.

The doctors at the People's Medical Clinic were afraid that children would have trouble feeding decoctions or swallowing pills, so they made the medicine into sugar pills. They are easier to eat, but they are not to be eaten like candy.

Du Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered a sweet anthelmintic medicine. She made it at night when she had nothing to do and gave it to the child with worms in his stomach.

In order to reduce the risk of infection with various infectious diseases, she would remind everyone who came to the People's Medical Clinic not to boil the water before drinking and to wash their hands before eating.

No one would listen at first, but she didn't mind. After all, the ancients had lived like this for dozens or even hundreds of years, and it would probably not be easy to change their living habits overnight.

It doesn't matter. If she reminds him a few more times, someone will remember it. If nothing unexpected happens, she will run a clinic here for the rest of her life. There are some things that she has been talking about for a lifetime, and no one will believe her if they don't believe it.

What's more, the people still trust her very much, not only because of her good medical skills, but also because the prices of the People's Clinic are affordable.

Some people had no money and used their chickens, ducks and eggs to pay for the consultation, but she didn't care. Some people couldn't stand it and bought the chickens, ducks and eggs at a high price, but she didn't care either.

Some people knew that the clinic charged cheap fees and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of supervision and miscellaneous work, but she still didn't care.

She sees patients in the morning and makes medicine in the evening.

The people living around the county town all know about a people's clinic that has low prices, good effects, and does not require decoctions, only pills. If they have a headache or fever, this is their first choice.

Yetingxiao has been here for several days, and sees quite a few patients at the People's Clinic every day. He feels that Du Wanwan's methods are really extraordinary.

She never bargained with the people who came to see a doctor about medical expenses. After the treatment, she would tell her the price. She never cared whether they paid in silver or in gifts.

The more this happened, the more people realized that the doctors at the People's Hospital were not only excellent doctors, but also kindhearted. How could people bear to see such a good person suffer?

If the clinic suffers too much loss and eventually goes bankrupt, where will they find such a good doctor again?

Even if there were a few ruffians who wanted to cause trouble in the clinic, they were chased away by people who wanted to protect the clinic.

Du Wanwan has been watching coldly and has not intervened. She just wants all the patients who come to the clinic for treatment to be conscious and work together to maintain the normal order of the clinic.

Huichun Hall and Shou'an Hall are on the same street as the People's Clinic. All the patients went to the People's Clinic, and they were a little unwilling to accept it at first.

Later, they inquired and found out that the son of Pingyang Marquis was also receiving treatment here, so they didn't dare to cause trouble. They knew what disease the son of Pingyang Marquis had, and they had all gone to the county governor's office to check his pulse.

If the doctor who treated him was punished, they would be in big trouble.

However, the wind-cold pills developed by the People's Medical Center are really good. They also tried to make several kinds, but it seems that the efficacy is not as good as that made by the People's Medical Center.

Du Wanwan: “······” Of course, my Yaya spent a lot of money on it.

Every time she boiled the medicine and it was almost cured, Yaya would add a bowl of spiritual spring water. She would wait for the water to be slowly absorbed by the medicine before she started to rub the pills.

After seeing patients for the day, Du Wanwan felt her waist was sore from sitting so she stood up to stretch her muscles. Just as Du Xiuxiu was about to close the shop, Ye Tingxiao walked in.

She quickly closed the shop door to block out the inquiring eyes of people outside.

"Come for a follow-up visit?"

Even though Ye Tingxiao came in, Du Wanwan didn't stop, "Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, twisting her neck, twisting her butt."

"Yes!" Looking at Du Wanwan's strange movements, Ye Tingxiao was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"Move around a bit. I'm tired from sitting all day."

After closing the shop door, Du Xiuxiu ran to the backyard, leaving the shop to her sister.

Ye Tingxiao glanced at the quirky Du Xiuxiu, then found a chair and sat down: "I came to see you, I have something to ask you."

Twisting her neck left and right, Du Wanwan stood in front of Ye Tingxiao, looking down at him: "Meeting you is the most unfortunate thing in my life. Every time you see me, you ask for something. Do you think I am Guanyin Bodhisattva, asking for help all the time?"

"Pfft!" Ye Tingxiao was amused by her words, and then he continued, "You can say that. The Bodhisattva Guanyin, who saves people from suffering, is indeed similar to your image as a doctor who saves the dying and heals the wounded."

"It's a long way off." Du Wanwan put her hands on her hips, looking annoyed, "Let me tell you, I haven't had time to make the catgut yet, and I haven't made the needles for suturing wounds yet, so it's a little early for you to beg me now.

How about you go back first and I'll let you know when I'm ready? Anyway, you've arranged someone here, right? That Night Eleven comes to my clinic every now and then, and everyone on the street has seen him."

"He is the helper I left for you."

"How shameless! Are you sure you are not here to spy on me?" Du Wanwan glared at Ye Tingxiao with a look that said, "Do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool?"

"Really not." Ye Tingxiao was afraid that Du Wanwan would be angry, so he explained anxiously, "I left Ye Shiyi here with you on purpose, for fear that someone would come to the clinic and cause trouble, and make you unhappy.

I know you are good at fighting and five ordinary people can't get close to you. But I obviously have a safer way, why should I let you risk your life?"

"It's a farce."

Du Wanwan still didn't believe it. She was still glaring angrily at the handsome man in front of her with a smile on his face. She tried her best to explain her intentions, but it seemed that the more she explained, the worse it got.

She just couldn't understand. Ye Tingxiao was so powerful in Liangjun City. Was it necessary to explain to her the origin of Ye Shiyi?
