Chen Yunniang sneered. Regardless of whether Physician Su was a eunuch or a woman, Xiaohe's plan would still work.

Whether it's a man or a woman, you can tell by pulling down their pants and taking a look.

If a woman had her pants pulled down in public, she might be so humiliated that she would kill herself by running into a brick wall...

Hmph, this is what happens when you dare to offend her!

"Miss, guess what I found?" Xiao He excitedly pushed open the door and entered.

"What?"

"Menstrual cloth!!!"

Xiaohe exclaimed excitedly, "That Physician Su isn't a eunuch, he's a woman!"

"This servant will go and expose her right away, and see how the Crown Prince punishes her."

"etc."

Chen Yunniang picked up her teacup and took a leisurely sip: "No need to expose her, proceed as planned."

Xiaohe paused for a moment, then hesitated, "Miss, isn't this going too far?"

"She is, after all, a woman. If her pants were pulled down in public, she would probably... she would be too ashamed to live."

Chen Yunniang glanced at her coldly, her tone sarcastic: "What, you pity her?"

"You've had your pants pulled down too, how come you didn't die?"

"..."

Xiaohe blushed, lowered her head in embarrassment, and dared not speak.

"Don't think I'm heartless. I'm not the kind of vicious person who would kill someone at the slightest disagreement."

"Didn't you notice that she often stares at Ziqian?"

"Hmph, that bitch's claim of healing and saving lives is a lie; she really wants to steal my man."

"You pity her, but who will pity me?"

"If Ziqian is taken away by her, what will happen to me?"

"So, the way to deal with this kind of slut is to humiliate her in public!"

Xiaohe said apologetically, "Miss, I misunderstood you."

"It's okay, just use your brain more in the future."

"We'll arrive in Yuncheng tomorrow. Make preparations as soon as you enter the city."

The prince's entourage stayed in Yuncheng for two days, preparing dry rations and epidemic prevention supplies.

Su Yujiao also strolled around the streets, preparing the supplies she needed.

Two ragged little beggars suddenly rushed over. One of them yanked off her belt, while the other pounced on the ground and pulled her pant legs down forcefully.

"careful!"

Lu Ziqian's angry shout came from behind, and the little beggar was so frightened that he ran away.

Su Yujiao clung tightly to her pants, squatting helplessly on the ground. Fortunately, her outer robe covered her up, preventing her from being exposed.

Gu Heng, who was standing next to her, realized what was happening and immediately pulled the tablecloth from the stall and draped it over her.

Lu Ziqian quickly grabbed the two little beggars, one of whom was still holding Su Yujiao's belt.

Gu Heng's usually gentle face showed a rare hint of anger. He didn't care that the other party was two teenagers, and he kicked them hard a few times before forcefully taking back his belt.

Lu Ziqian scoffed, "I never thought that such a handsome top scholar would resort to violence."

Ignoring his sarcasm, Gu Heng only wanted to help Su Yujiao out of her predicament as soon as possible.

"Shopkeeper, I'll take all your umbrellas." Gu Heng tossed the money pouch over.

The vendor selling oil-paper umbrellas carried over all of the dozens of umbrellas.

"Please open it for me."

An umbrella surrounded Su Yujiao, four or five in total, completely shielding her from view.

Su Yujiao quickly fastened her belt and tidied herself up.

Lu Ziqian was speechless. It's just a grown man fastening his belt, is it really that big of a deal?

She's just like a young girl!

Su Yujiao emerged from the pile of umbrellas: "Thank you, Brother Gu."

"Brother Su, you're too kind. I'm glad you're alright."

Seeing the two exchanging glances, Lu Ziqian's gossipy nature got the better of him. Could it be that Gu Heng likes Xiao Hei Lian?

Although Little Dark Face is a bit effeminate, he's still a man!

Is Gu Heng bisexual?

Gu Heng turned around: "General Lu, may I hand these two petty thieves over for interrogation?"

Lu Ziqian looked at this one and then at that one, said nothing, and simply threw the two little beggars at him.

Gu Heng saw that Su Yujiao was quite frightened, but he couldn't bring himself to take her home.

Letting her go back on her own is risky, as there's a fear that something unexpected might happen.

"General Lu, please wait. Would you mind escorting Physician Su back to the inn?"

"Gu suspected that someone wanted to harm Physician Su."

Lu Ziqian paused, turned around and glanced at 'Doctor Su'. This little dark-faced guy was too timid; his lips were still pale.

Let's go.

Su Yujiao stood there, hesitant. She didn't want to get too close to Lu Ziqian.

But I'm also afraid that another accident might happen!

It's obvious that someone is deliberately targeting her today!

Perhaps some people have already seen through her disguise as a man and want to embarrass her in public.

This person is very likely Chen Yunniang, after all, they had a minor disagreement just two days ago.

Seeing that she was standing still, Lu Ziqian thought she was scared out of her wits, so he went over and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Come on, are you scared out of your wits?"

Su Yujiao was suddenly pulled into his arms, which startled her so much that she screamed and quickly pulled away.

This was her original voice; she couldn't suppress it.

Lu Ziqian looked at her suspiciously. Why did it sound like a woman's moan?

The man chased after him, wanting to find out: "Are you a woman?"

Su Yujiao stopped in her tracks, panicked and at a loss for what to do. Luckily, she had her back to him, otherwise he would have noticed that something was wrong with her at a glance.

“You are a woman, General Lu, please do not humiliate me.”

Why are you running?

What is your relationship with Gu Heng?

"Are you Gu Heng's woman?"

His tone was certain, indicating he was already convinced she was a woman.

Su Yujiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring at him with resentment: "General Lu, do you have to humiliate me like this?"

"Do you also want to pull down my pants to see if I'm a eunuch?"

"So what if he's a eunuch? Does that mean he deserves to be humiliated?"

After saying that, Su Yujiao ran away without looking back.

Lu Ziqian stood there, stunned, and awkwardly touched his nose. He really didn't expect that 'Doctor Su' was actually a eunuch.

Um... he just kept mentioning women, which seems quite hurtful to someone's self-esteem.

Eunuchs are already pitiful enough, and to be ridiculed like this, no wonder he was so angry!

Thinking about it this way, Gu Heng's action of using the oil-paper umbrella to shield himself earlier can also be explained.

So, those two little beggars were bribed to deliberately humiliate them?

However, given that Su Lang's medical skills were so high and he looked like someone who was not short of money, why would he become a eunuch?

Lu Ziqian's thoughts raced for a moment before he hurriedly caught up, following Doctor Su at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Being his bodyguard is my way of apologizing for my rudeness earlier!

On Gu Heng's side, they interrogated him for a long time but still couldn't get any results.

Both little beggars were mute and illiterate.

Even finding someone who knows sign language didn't work.

The two beggars had never learned proper sign language; they gestured randomly based on their own understanding, and no one could understand what they were saying.

Gu Heng pinched the bridge of his nose, his face serious: "Go find their companions."

"I don't believe they don't need to communicate on a daily basis."

"Just because we don't understand it doesn't mean his companions don't understand it."

"yes."

Soon, several little beggars were brought over.

"Sir, they said someone gave them money to pull down that man's pants."
