"What are you looking at? Why don't you return my money? You cheated me out of it, and now my daughter is dead. Do you still want to keep the money?"
The rich man glared at Su Lijin fiercely: "If you don't return it, I will sue you again!"
There was a lot of money in that bag, and the rich man felt very distressed and was determined not to let the man take it away.
The onlookers also looked over, not knowing what was going on, but they also started pointing at Su Lijin.
Su Lijin did have the rich man's silver in her hand, but the rich man had forced it into her hand to thank her.
She never imagined that this rich man not only falsely accused her of killing her daughter, but now shamelessly said that he had swindled the money.
"Listen carefully, you forced the money on me, I didn't cheat you out of it."
Taking out the purse, Su Lijin said calmly, "Your servants and those who watched the rescue can all testify to this."
The rich man didn't expect that she was so weak but had such a strong aura. Her few words made his face turn dark in an instant.
"Yes, I saw the rich man give the money to the girl himself, and the girl refused it."
Someone came forward to testify.
In front of everyone, the rich man was completely desperate. He glared at her and said arrogantly: "After all, it's my money. I'm not willing to give it to you now. Give it back to me now!"
Su Lijin, who didn't want the money in the first place, snorted lightly and threw the purse into the rich man's arms.
The rich man quickly took it and checked the money.
Su Lijin looked at him with disdain: "I'm returning it to you now, stop talking nonsense."
After saying that, she turned and left, too lazy to argue with him.
"Want to leave? That's not possible!" Unexpectedly, the rich man still blocked her way.
"What else do you want to do?" Su Lijin was almost losing her patience.
"My daughter died because of you. You must compensate me."
The rich man stared at her with ill intent and said, "You must work as a doctor for me for three years to make up for it."
He remembered that this man could save a fainted person with just one injection. This kind of medical skills cannot be given away casually!
"The county magistrate has already ruled that your daughter committed suicide. It has nothing to do with me. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!"
She truly despised greedy people, and her tone was filled with a thinly veiled warning.
"You still want to take action?" The rich man didn't believe that she was a threat at all.
"I might as well tell you that I'm a disciple of a genius doctor. I'm afraid you can't even afford me if you want to hire me. Expecting me to do odd jobs for you for three years for nothing is just wishful thinking!"
Su Lijin's tone was full of sarcasm. You can't give face to such a person.
"The miracle doctor is like a mysterious dragon that can't be found. You said you were his disciple, but you are? What a joke! I said I was the richest man!"
The rich man sneered, looking as if he had heard a huge joke.
"You can't see the miracle doctor because you don't have the qualifications, but she is indeed his disciple."
A low and ethereal voice was heard, and then a handsome and cold man in black brocade clothes appeared.
"Master Guoyun?" Su Lijin was stunned.
"Hmph, stop meddling in other people's business, or I'll deal with you too!"
"Really? Do you have that ability?"
Xiao Shengxing was dressed as Young Master Guyun, and faced with the rich man's threat, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
With a glance from him, a team of well-trained black-clad guards holding long swords immediately rushed out and surrounded the rich man.
The scene frightened the rich man, who lowered his head and begged for mercy: "Sir, spare my life. I didn't recognize you... I'll let you go now..."
"Do you really need to put this on? You talk like you're so great." Su Lijin complained, "Get out of here!"
She was almost sickened by this rich man. She had never seen such a greedy and inhumane person.
Even after his daughter died, he was still thinking about biting others instead of burying his daughter properly.
It goes without saying that this kind of person is the one who forced his daughter to marry a bad man, which is why she is so determined to die.
Xiao Shengxing glanced at him with his dark eyes, and the rich man shuddered immediately.
The rich man immediately changed his words: "No, no, no, it's not me who lets it go, it's me who gets out, I get out..."
After the rich man and his men left, Su Lijin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to thank him, "Master Guoyun, you helped me. Thank you very much."
"It's just a small favor, no need to thank me." Xiao Shengxing said calmly, "However, I did meet someone who looks very similar to you."
His eyes fell lightly on Su Lijin's face, but she felt as if she was about to be seen through.
"Maybe there's someone similar..."
Su Lijin blinked in confusion, then swallowed. Unable to think of what to do for a moment, she had to change the subject.
"If you travel alone, you're bound to run into people with bad intentions. How about we travel together?"
Xiao Shengxing noticed her attempt to change the subject, but said nothing.
This invitation is also a good thing for Su Lijin. With the protection of Master Guyun, she is indeed much safer.
She said, "I am going to the Imperial City. I wonder where you are going, young master?"
"I have accepted the emperor's commission and will observe the people's sentiments along the way. I will report to the emperor in due time. It just so happens that I am traveling the same way as you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."
Su Lijin was polite.
If two people travel together, there is one more person, so they need to prepare more dry food.
The two of them prepared to go to the shop together to buy things.
"Sister, are you a disciple of the Divine Doctor?"
At this time, a little beggar pulled her sleeve with an anxious look.
Su Lijin looked at the little girl's dirty face and saw her anxious expression. She couldn't help but squat down and asked, "I am a disciple of the Divine Doctor. What can I do for you?"
"Please save my mother..."
The little beggar begged and knelt down.
Faced with the little beggar's pleading, Su Lijin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously pulled the man up.
"What happened to your mother?" she asked.
The little beggar cried, wiping his tears with his hand: "My mother is sick. She has no money to see a doctor and has not woken up for a long time."
Su Lijin and Xiao Shengxing looked at each other. She felt a little sorry and wiped the tears from the little beggar.
"You are the disciple of a miracle doctor, can you save my mother? Please." The little beggar continued to beg.
"I... okay."
She hesitantly agreed, "You lead the way for us."
Not knowing the situation on the other end, she couldn't judge whether it could be cured, so she could only go and take a look first.
The little beggar hurriedly led the way, passing through alleys, and finally arrived at a slum.
In front of the most dilapidated thatched hut in the slum, the little beggar pulled Su Lijin in and excitedly ran to the bed, shaking the woman.
"Mom, I've brought my disciple, the miracle doctor, to save you. You'll be well again soon."
Su Lijin walked over and looked at the dirty and dilapidated environment around her. Her eyes fell on the very broken wooden bed which was covered with only a layer of straw.
