In her previous life, Song Tangxue, the true daughter of the Right Minister, was swapped at birth. When she was finally found, her entire family despised her.
She finally managed to reclaim h...
"I can't live up to your reputation as a miracle doctor. Go find someone else to save me." Song Tangxue didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore, and she was too lazy to argue with those people, lest she be accused of having ulterior motives.
Just as disgusting as dealing with Song Tangli, these people could have never crossed paths, so Song Tangxue decided to solve the problem at its source.
Seeing her resolute back, Wang Xin gritted his teeth, followed her, and knelt down in front of her. Song Tangxue was shocked and took a step back to avoid him.
Wang Jue looked up, exhaling, his face resolute: "Please, Doctor Song, save my father. If there's anything I, Wang Xin, need in the future, I'll do anything for you, even go through fire and water."
The affection that Song Tangxue had never received in either her past or present life was seen in this young man.
Wang Xin's gaze was firm, his eyes gleaming: "I believe you. I apologize on behalf of those people. Once this is over, I will punish them and give you a satisfactory answer!"
Song Tangxue's expression softened, not only because of Wang Xin's future gratitude, but also because of this unseen yet profound kinship.
People always envy what they lack most. Song Tangxue spoke up: "Alright, I will save General Wang. A man's knees are worth gold. Get up first."
Wang Xin's face flashed with joy, and he almost tripped and fell as he stood up in his haste: "There's no time to lose, let's go in quickly. I'll send someone to the palace to ask His Majesty for permission. My father has been loyal to the country all his life, so I think a snow lotus flower should be enough. You can just go ahead and treat him."
Song Tangxue nodded and followed Wang Xin back into the courtyard filled with the smell of medicine. The smell of medicine seemed even stronger in the courtyard.
Wang Xin walked hurriedly, and while taking care of Song Tangxue, he looked rather awkward.
"Hey, this way please, sir." Before even entering the house, Wang Jue's voice came from behind.
Wang Xin and Song Tangxue turned around and looked down from the top of the steps. Wang Jue was respectfully leading an old man over.
The old man was arrogant and impatient: "If I didn't owe your grandmother a favor, I wouldn't bother making this trip."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your trouble, Elder Xu." Wang Jue led his men to them, glanced at them sideways with his slanted eyes, and gave a heavy snort: "Brother, please make way."
Wang Xin didn't care and only said to Song Tangxue, "Dr. Song, please go in first. If you have anything to say, just tell your mother."
"Hey, big brother, why did you bring this woman back again!" Wang Jue interrupted him. Wang Xin looked at him impatiently: "Wang Jue, do you want to be punished by family rules for causing trouble time and time again?"
Wang Jue didn't care at all: "This is Elder Xu. Brother, you must have heard of him. If it weren't for my maternal grandmother's relationship with him, he wouldn't have come to treat Father."
Xu Wei was also a renowned barefoot doctor, though he was far inferior to Xie Lingyi, but he was still a highly respected figure who was difficult to persuade.
Wang Xin was a man of his word: "No matter who he is, let Miss Song go in first." Wang Xin stood like a god blocking the doorway, not giving an inch.
Song Tangxue didn't care about any of that. She smiled and pulled Wang Xin aside, saying, "Young Master Wang, please let this old man Xu treat you first. I assure you nothing will happen."
Wang Xin hesitated, then stepped aside and opened the door. Although he trusted Song Tangxue, Xu Wei's reputation was more prestigious, and he was certainly more convincing.
"Hmph." Wang Jue sneered, and like a victorious rooster, he swaggered into the house with Xu Wei.
Xu Wei was quite satisfied with the young female doctor's concession. It seemed that he was still as sharp as ever and that there were still people who were wary of him.
Wang Xin stood in front of Song Tangxue. Song Tangxue appreciated his kindness, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, the mockery in her eyes was on her face.
Then everyone inside was kicked out, supposedly because they didn't want anyone to see their special skills.
No one insisted, perhaps because he had this peculiar habit of never letting anyone see him during treatment.
Madam Li paced anxiously at the door, her hands clasped together as she silently murmured something. Wang Xin went up to her, helped her up, and whispered comforting words, "It will be alright, Mother."
Madam Li opened her eyes: "I hope so." Then, seeing Song Tangxue at the door, she said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled Miss Song."
"It's alright." Song Tangxue seemed detached from the world, out of place here. Her expression was neither sad nor happy as she calmly looked up at the sky.
Wang Jue looked at her with a sinister gaze.
"Mother, don't worry. Don't you know how capable Master Xu is?" Wang Jue called Madam Li "Mother." As the principal wife, Madam Li was capable of taking on the responsibility, but she usually didn't want to.
Now that Wang Jue had brought Xu Wei back, Madam Li agreed, "Yes."
Before long, Xu Wei came out of the house in a panic. When Madam Li entered the room and saw him, she almost collapsed onto the bed.
General Wang coughed up a lot of bright red blood, and he was panting heavily, as if he was about to die.
Xu Wei said with trembling hands, "This illness is really difficult to treat, and I am powerless to help it."
"Heh, then why were you acting all high and mighty just now?" Song Tangxue mocked him, finding it quite annoying that he was someone who had no ability but loved to interfere and didn't know his place.
"Do you even know who I am, you little girl? How dare you talk to me like that!" Xu Wei felt his face burning with embarrassment as he recalled his confident declaration.
"I don't know and I'm not interested in knowing. He's a quack doctor who can't even tell the difference between disease and poison." Song Tangxue couldn't help but mock him, because this was what caused him to waste so much time.
Now that General Wang's symptoms have worsened, I'll have to expend even more effort.
Xu Wei was so angry that his body was trembling. Wang Jue's smugness had also dissipated, and he dared not say a word in the corner.
“I heard Young Master Wang call you a divine doctor when he came in. Why don’t you go and take a look at the general?” Xu Wei’s eyes flashed with calculation.
He didn't think this little girl, who hadn't even grown her hair yet, could be as capable as him. He figured that if he couldn't solve the problem, she certainly wouldn't be able to either.
Then I can give her a good slap in the face and make her lose face just like him.
"You're called a miracle doctor, so your medical skills must be quite remarkable. You wouldn't be afraid, would you?" To prevent the little girl from refusing, Xu Wei even used reverse psychology.
Girls this age are very impulsive, and Xu Wei knows best how to handle them.
"Don't try to provoke me. I was going to get treatment anyway. You're the one who wasted time." Song Tangxue ignored him and walked towards the bed.
Having been humiliated by a little girl, Xu Wei's face turned pale and then red.
Seeing Song Tangxue's confident demeanor, Madam Li quickly gave up her seat and considerately asked, "Do you need me to have everyone leave?"
"Dr. Song shouldn't care about these things, right?" Xu Wei came to his senses. If he went out, how could he point out Song Tangxue's problems and expose her lies to make her lose face during her medical practice?
