Xiao Qingyin looked at them expressionlessly.

Do you feel uncomfortable?

"It's okay to feel uncomfortable."

"If you were to contract the plague, you would suffer a thousand times more than you do now."

"You can't even bear this little bit of pain, so how dare you stand here and insult someone who risked their life to stop the spread of the plague?"

"Do you really think that the imperial court can contain the plague by sending tens of thousands of troops to defend Beian City and not even allowing a fly to fly out?"

"dream."

“If they are not cremated, the entire city will be infected with germs and die. After they die, the germs will float in the air and fall on the army and civilians outside when the wind blows.”

"Then it spreads all the way to each and every one of you."

"Who do you think you're relying on to stand here safely?"

“It is us doctors who risked our lives, it is the people of Bei’an City who had to suffer the flames after their deaths, it is the man in front of you who almost lost his life to the plague and his subordinates!”

"Do you know how terrible the plague is? It only takes a few days from infection to death."

"During these days, you will experience high fever, chills, severe headaches, vomiting, rapid swelling of lymph nodes, bleeding, coughing up blood, difficulty breathing... and you will be tormented by pain at all times, unable to live or die."

“If any of you have ever seen a patient in Beian City, you would not have the courage to stand here.”

"Since you know nothing about the power of the plague, I'll let you experience it. Don't worry, what I'm giving you isn't the plague virus, but a drug that mimics its power."

"Take a good look at the illness and pain. I believe this will make you reflect on your life, clear your mind, and from now on be careful with your words and deeds, and be humble and pragmatic."

"Don't be too grateful to me, after all, helping you grow was not my purpose in drugging you."

"I simply can't stand seeing people who are brain-dead and still go out on the street to show off."

She finished speaking in one breath, and Yi Wu and the others looked at her with admiration and clapped their hands.

Miss Xiao is practically their mouth double!

These pedantic, ignorant, and cowardly scholars should be made to experience what pain truly means.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know that they were originally a person, not a stone.

Yi Shuihan stared intently at the woman beside him, his eyes gleaming with joy.

It's so great to have a domineering fiancée.

If he's wronged, I'll fight back and yell at him.

Although he could do it himself, it felt completely different to be protected by someone else.

That was awesome.

He couldn't wait to marry her.

He wanted to announce to the world that such a wonderful wife was his, his, his!

He was in an extremely good mood, while the group of scholars on the ground were in a terrible mood.

After the smoke cleared, their pain not only did not disappear, but continued to intensify.

"You poisonous woman!"

They looked at Xiao Qingyin with resentment.

"Even if we die in pain, we will never bow down to you! You just wait!"

Xiao Qingyin chuckled: "Alright, I'll be waiting."

She wanted to see just how tough they were, and whether they could hold out for ten days or half a month before coming to beg her again.

"Big White, my beauty, let's go!"

Xiao Qingyin gave a shout and spurred her horse forward.

The white horse and the beautiful woman, heads held high, rode through the group of scholars lying on the ground.

Although their horses' hooves did not trample on any of the scholars, they all felt that their dignity had been shattered.

Without turning her head, Xiao Qingyin said, "If you want the antidote, bring your letter of repentance to Baibaozhai in exchange."

The scholars: "!!!"

They roared angrily at the retreating figures ahead: "It is you, you wicked woman, and that living devil who should repent!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Qingyin and Yi Shuihan didn't even turn around to look at them.

There were still many scholars and commoners standing in front of them, but no one dared to block their way anymore.

However, they still criticized him harshly behind his back.

For the next two days, whether Xiao Qingyin went to a teahouse for tea or to a restaurant for a meal, she could hear many scholars in long gowns denouncing her and Yi Shuihan.

She ignored these people and focused on waiting for the chicken she was going to kill to come to her door.

Those scholars' knees were even more fragile than she had imagined; they only lasted three days before sending someone to deliver a letter of repentance.

Xiao Qingyin rejected them all, saying, "It only counts if the person delivers it in person."

The scholars had no choice but to endure the pain and submit their manuscripts to Baibaozhai.

Xiao Qingyin glanced at it only once before throwing it back.

"Rewrite it!"

The scholars were furious: "You asked us to write a confession, and we did; you asked us to come and hand it in person, and we came. What more do you want!"

Xiao Qingyin: "You think you can get rid of me with just a dozen words? No way, it has to be at least three thousand words."

Three thousand words!

The scholars were stunned.

Xiao Qingyin said disdainfully, "What? Can't you write it? You have no knowledge and you dare to call yourself a scholar? Even the clerks in our pharmacy know more characters than you do."

The scholars were so enraged by her disdainful gaze that they felt like their lungs were about to explode.

"Three thousand words is nothing! We can write thirty thousand words!"

Xiao Qingyin smiled slightly: "Then I will look forward to reading your works."

The scholars turned and left.

After returning home, they endured the torment of pain while racking their brains to write confessions.

He cursed the Xiao family's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, but still forced himself to go to Baibaozhai to submit the manuscript.

After reading it, Xiao Qingyin nodded in satisfaction.

Then each person received a contract.

"Copyright transfer agreement?"

The scholars looked bewildered.

"What's this?"

Xiao Qingyin replied, "This is a contract to ensure that these confessions were given to me voluntarily, and not extorted from you by me."

She deliberately misrepresented the concept; giving her a copy of the confession book does not equate to giving her the copyright to the confession book.

The scholars were all angered by her statement, "I didn't extort you."

This woman clearly drugged them and coerced them into writing it, yet she still made them sign a contract to prove that they wrote it voluntarily for her.

This is absolutely outrageous!

They gritted their teeth and said, "We will never sign such a thing!"

Xiao Qingyin crossed her hands and said leisurely, "No signing, no antidote."

The scholars: "!!!"

Even the stinger of a wasp doesn't have this kind of venom!

If they can't get the antidote, wouldn't all their efforts and suffering these past few days have been for nothing?

They struggled for less than fifteen minutes before surrendering.

"Okay, we'll sign."

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.

It's not too late for them to take revenge on this vicious woman once they get the antidote.

Xiao Qingyin watched them sign the contract and press their fingerprints before giving them the antidote.

After the scholars took the antidote, their pain and swelling disappeared completely in less than three days.

They unanimously decided to spread this tragic story and launch a verbal attack on the toxic couple.

But before they could act, Xiao Qingyin caught them off guard.
