Su Lijin frowned, and the apprentice nervously argued, saying that he was a liar, which looked very suspicious.
She couldn't help but stare at her apprentice's expression and start to speculate.
The woman held the child's body in her arms, crying heartbrokenly: "My child... I'm going to report it to the authorities and make sure you get what you deserve!"
She wiped her tears and walked towards the government office.
This frightened the apprentice, who quickly shouted to stop them and pulled Su Lijin, who was standing beside him, into the water.
"Don't bite anyone randomly. Our clinic is young and has a long history. It's impossible for us to make mistakes with any medicine!"
The apprentice shouted in a loud voice, deliberately bluffing, "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense. She boasted yesterday that she was a disciple of a miracle doctor. But who has ever seen a miracle doctor? No one has seen one. Even if there really is a miracle doctor, would a miracle doctor's disciple look like this?"
"I don't think the disciple of the miracle doctor would be a young girl!"
The woman also looked at Su Lijin hesitantly, not knowing who to listen to.
Just a few words made Su Lijin the target of public criticism, and the apprentice was very proud of himself.
Looking at Su Lijin with disdain, he was very satisfied with the change in the situation and continued to throw dirty water: "So, she must be a liar! She is deliberately misleading you to take revenge on our clinic!"
"Maybe she was the one who got the wrong medicine. I guess someone as vicious as her must have planned this all along and secretly switched the medicine!"
"What? She did it?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Su Lijin in shock, their eyes full of surprise and suspicion.
Su Lijin clapped her hands and looked at the apprentice with a smile on her face.
The apprentice snorted coldly, "You have nothing to say, right? I think it would be wise for you to confess your guilt sooner rather than later. Maybe you can even get a lighter sentence."
She continued to clap her hands a few times to applaud him.
"I really didn't realize you could talk more eloquently than an opera singer."
Looking at the apprentice, she smiled and said, "You said I'm not a disciple of the Divine Doctor, but how can you prove that I'm not?"
The apprentice was speechless: "In short, you can't be!"
"The truth is, I did use my medical skills to save several people. I won both the competition with you and your master. At least in terms of medical skills, I am not inferior to you. I say I am the disciple of the Divine Doctor, and this is my confidence."
"Haha, you're still trying to flatter me."
"Well, I'll tell you something else."
Su Lijin quickly changed the subject and said, "You said I had planned to come here to change the medicine, intending to harm someone and put the blame on the clinic."
"Look, you admitted it yourself!" The apprentice jumped up immediately.
"I'm just explaining what you said. Why are you so anxious? Are you hiding something and so eager to cover it up?"
These words made the apprentice feel guilty. He stared at Su Lijin and finally stopped talking, but his eyes were very unfriendly.
"However, my entry and exit of this city are all recorded at the city gates. In addition, the comings and goings of the infirmary and the local residents can testify that I have indeed only been here these past two days. There is no such thing as me coming here so early to do anything bad."
When the people heard this, they nodded silently and agreed with her statement.
This female doctor was indeed unfamiliar to them. She was extremely beautiful. If she had appeared many days ago, she would have attracted their attention a long time ago.
"So, you saying I was plotting to harm someone is simply slander."
The apprentice was speechless for a moment, but his eyes were still full of hostility.
"I'm cleared of suspicion." Su Lijin said with a relieved look, "So the medicine the child drank was the one you prescribed. It was the medicine you prescribed."
The woman believed her now, and her doubtful look disappeared.
She glared at her apprentice and said, "I'm going to report you to the police right now and make sure you receive the punishment you deserve!"
The apprentice panicked and hurried to call his master who had already entered the clinic.
The infirmary's master heard the commotion and came out. Seeing Su Lijin, his expression turned grim: "Why are you here again? Are you going to cause trouble for our infirmary again?"
"Master, this woman said she wants to report to the police."
"Report to the police?"
Upon hearing this, the doctor was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and agreed: "Then report it to the authorities. I believe that the officials can distinguish right from wrong. The officials will definitely arrest this alarmist and deliberately framed person!"
What he meant was that he still believed that Su Lijin was deliberately wrongly accusing their clinic.
She scoffed, "Well, that's the easiest thing to do. Let's see how the officials catch the criminal who changed the medicine and killed people from this clinic!"
"Ah... No, no... You can't call the police!"
The apprentice's heart stopped when he heard this. Every word seemed to arrest him, making him panic and want to escape.
His reaction was so unusual that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Su Lijin studied his expression, her eyes shifting as she suddenly said, "You're so nervous and reacting so strongly. I'm afraid you've done something bad but are afraid to report it to the authorities?"
"Ah, I see. You are the criminal who changed the medicine and killed someone!"
The apprentice stepped back again and again, and finally fell to the ground in fear. His face was as pale as paper and his body was shaking constantly.
"Why are you afraid of her? Get up quickly and go with me, let's go see the official!" The master of the clinic didn't know the truth and went straight to pull the apprentice, looking like he was disappointed in his apprentice.
He just thought that the apprentice was intimidated by Su Lijin and didn't think about anything else.
The apprentice stepped back in panic, his face filled with fear, tears and snot streaming down his face. He struggled, "I can't report it to the police! I can't report it to the police! If I do, I'm done for!"
"Confess quickly, did you switch the medicine?!" At this moment, how could Su Lijin not see the apprentice's guilty conscience?
The woman's eyes widened and she pointed at the apprentice: "Is it you?"
"I...I didn't mean to do that. I didn't think about it at the time. I got the wrong medicine..."
The apprentice explained nervously and frantically, tears streaming down his face: "I didn't expect him to die after drinking the medicine. I really just gave him the wrong medicine..."
"You knew you had caught the wrong person, so why didn't you stop us from going back to make the medicine?"
"You clearly had a chance to make amends, so why did you just watch my son drink that medicine?"
The woman felt as if she were being cut by a knife, and her eyes were red.
"I didn't mean it... I was just afraid of being found out..." The apprentice trembled.
"I will kill you to avenge my son!" The woman rushed over with red eyes.
Su Lijin opened her mouth but didn't stop him.
The apprentice was hit several times by the woman and curled up on the ground. Just as the woman was venting her anger, a team of constables arrived and took both of them away.
"What is going on..." The clinic master did not expect such a sudden change to happen, and sat down dejectedly.
Su Lijin looked at him for a moment and said, "Master, I would like to ask you to recommend me to the National Medical Hall. Would you agree?"
"Don't even think about it! You don't deserve to be in the National Medical Hall. Get out of here right now!"
Unexpectedly, the doctor in the clinic was very excited and glared at her.
Seeing his big reaction, Su Lijin felt helpless and had to go back to wait for Xiao Shengxing.
