Chapter 218 Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it

"Princess, he is really a miracle doctor." The little girl who just spoke spoke weakly, almost crying in anxiety.

She was afraid that Zhuang Shihan would not believe her, and she was even more afraid that if the matter became a big deal, these people who had the ability to save thousands of lives in the city would leave the border town because of a momentary anger.

What they are betting on is not their anger, but their lives!

Zhuang Shihan listened to the voices around her and felt extremely irritated. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xi Lin was like ice.

All of a sudden, I don't know where this guy came from, but he acted like Song Yanxi's bootlicker right from the start, and just stuck to her without caring whether she smelled good or not.

Are all the women in Da'an dead, or has he never seen a woman in his entire life?

The discussions behind her grew louder and louder. Zhuang Shihan finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned to look at the place where the discussion was most lively.

The man was still talking incessantly to the people around him about the Xi family's famous three incurable diseases according to folk rumors.

"The first is not to punish the irrational and arrogant, the second is not to punish those who have lost their conscience, and the third is the most widespread and the most interesting.

Anyone who had caused trouble outside or bullied the Xi clan, regardless of whether they were royal relatives or wealthy gentry, would not be given any help. Even their relatives within the first three clans would be turned away."

The man was talking excitedly when someone pulled his sleeve. He turned around and was caught off guard by her angry gaze, and was immediately startled.

"Princess, I..."

Zhuang Shihan interrupted him coldly, saying, "Since you think the Xi family is so good, why not just ask this amazing doctor Xi to treat you?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Xi Lin and asked with a half-smile, "Doctor Xi, you come from a family of doctors and are quite famous. I imagine this epidemic is just a piece of cake for you. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

The second generation, who have relied on their family to make a good living since childhood but actually have no real skills, all have a common problem.

Arrogant and contemptuous.

However, if someone gives him a few words of praise, he will become elated and completely forget his own name.

This Xi guy is obviously a spoiled young master at home. He has never experienced the harshness of society and is simply crazy to the extreme.

She wanted to see how the situation would end when he agreed to this but found himself powerless!

Zhuang Shihan thought so in her heart, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, and she counted three, two, one silently in her heart.

The moment she counted to "one" silently, Xi Lin, who had been staring at her, suddenly chuckled.

His eyebrows were slightly curved, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of helplessness.

Everyone only heard him say: "As expected of the renowned beauty and medical immortal, you are so accurate in judging people."

Zhuang Shihan's face turned cold, "Are you making fun of me?"

"I wouldn't dare." Xi Lin chuckled. "I'm just a commoner. How dare I speak disrespectfully to the princess?"

When he said those harsh words just now, why didn't he just say that he was just a commoner?

Now it is installed here.

Glancing at Song Yanxi, Zhuang Shihan spoke first, "Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me whether you are going to save this person or not."

"Save? How to save?" Xi Lin asked instead of answering.

Meeting her angry eyes, he sneered and said, "Didn't the princess just say that I am only fit to follow behind and help. I can't do important things like curing illnesses and saving lives."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "Just now, I heard Princess Shihan's tone, she described the epidemic as so simple, as if it were a child playing house.

I think Princess Shihan must have a brilliant plan in mind."

When the people gathered in the yard heard that Zhuang Shihan really had a solution, they became instantly excited and wanted to rush forward to pull her over so that they could treat their illnesses quickly.

"Mr. Xi, you..." Zhuang Shihan's face turned red with anger, and she swallowed the words back at the tip of her tongue.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Her reputation in the border town and her status in the army largely depend on the trust and support of the people in the city.

Now that Song Yanxi and these old guys are messing things up, they no longer trust her 100% as before, and many of them have started to have ulterior motives.

Although these people are a little stupid, they will still be useful in the future.

So, she couldn't let them know the truth no matter what.

Zhuang Shihan steeled her resolve, met the people's expectant gazes, and spoke word for word, "Please rest assured, Shihan will do her utmost to treat the patient and return the border town to its former glory."

With her words, everyone felt relieved and started to speak words of praise.

Some even exaggerated, saying, "If you ask me, Princess Shihan is a deity on earth. God saw that our lives were difficult and deliberately sent her down to earth to save us."

When everyone heard this, they all agreed, throwing compliments at her as if they were free, and they wanted to praise her to the sky.

Song Yanxi even heard someone say, "Only a god-like figure like the Princess can be worthy of our wise and powerful Prince Jin."

Upon hearing this, the people around her wanted to cover her mouth, but then they heard someone say, "If His Royal Highness Prince Jin hadn't injured his leg and returned to the capital, and hadn't missed Princess Shihan, this perfect match might have happened."

Xi Lin listened silently at the side, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He blinked at Song Yanxi and asked, "Miss Song, do you think these two are a good match?"

Without waiting for Song Yanxi to say anything, Doctor Li glared at him fiercely and said, "If you really have nothing to say, go get treated. No one will treat you as a mute."

What a perfect match, bah!

Not to mention that Zhuang Shihan was already taken, even if there was nothing between her and Lin Tingfeng, based on his understanding of the prince after so many years of being with him, there was no possibility between the two of them.

The prince would never like her like this.

If the prince might like it...

Doctor Li glanced at Song Yanxi calmly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

These two people should have been made for each other, but they met so late, and ultimately they were not destined to be together due to a series of coincidences.

What a pity, what a pity!

Looking at Zhuang Shihan, who was surrounded by the crowd, Doctor Li's face instantly fell. He snorted coldly, "Sweet words and flattering expressions, a trick that is not worthy of public display."

Xi Lin couldn't help but ask, "How did she offend you?"

Doctor Li raised his eyelids and asked, "What about you? You've only been in Border Town for a few days. I'm afraid you haven't even seen her before. So when did you start this grudge?"

After he finished speaking, he reminded her, "Don't tell me that you are jealous of her medical skills and hate her because of jealousy."

Xi Lin sneered, "Jealous? Is she worthy of it?"

If it was someone else, he could just laugh it off. After all, his grandfather always said that humility is a virtue, so that he wouldn't be hated too much in the future.

But this person happened to be Zhuang Shihan.

It would be more satisfying to kill him directly with a knife than to make him admit that his medical skills are not as good as hers.

He couldn't afford to lose face for this person, and the Xi family couldn't afford to lose face for this.

Not missing the coldness that flashed across his eyes, and thinking about his abnormal behavior today, Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "Did something happen to Lu Hei?"
