Chapter 220 Eliminate Risks
Yang Yurong was startled. Du Wanwan meant that the prince bought such expensive medicine because of her rude words that disturbed the peace of the People's Clinic.
If this perception took root in the prince's heart, how could she expect to be well in the future? The annoying thing was that she didn't dare to say anything at the moment, for fear of angering the prince.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Yang Yurong put his hands in his sleeves and pinched them tightly. His nails pierced his flesh, leaving blood marks, but he didn't feel any pain.
"All right! I trust Doctor Du. Ten thousand taels of silver is ten thousand taels of silver. I only need two bottles for now."
"Okay! Wait a minute!"
Du Wanwan got up and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. She grabbed a little here and a little there, and grabbed two big bags, which she took to the backyard to boil.
More than half an hour later, he came out from the backyard with two small bamboo tubes in his hand and handed them to Ouyang Qing.
"After the onset of the disease, drink the medicine inside, and the pain will stop in a quarter of an hour. Two vials, twenty thousand taels of silver."
Ouyang Qing took the two small bamboo tubes, held them carefully in his hands, took out a stack of silver bills from his arms, and placed them on the table in front of Du Wanwan.
Du Wanwan took a look and didn't rush to take it, nor did she let Yaya take it. Yang Yurong thought she was pretending and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Doctor Du take the banknote given by the prince? Aren't you looking forward to it? Your family has never seen so much silver in their lifetime, right?"
"Yes." Du Wanwan pushed the banknote in front of Ouyang Qing, "I'm sorry! I won't sell the medicine anymore, lest your woman complain for you. Our family is poor and we have never seen silver, but we still have 20,000 or 30,000 taels."
Regardless of whether Ouyang Qing agreed or not, he reached out and grabbed the two bamboo tubes and put them in the drawer of the examination table.
Looking back at Yang Yurong, she said, "Are you satisfied with what I have done? I will use your man's money to buy you new clothes and new rouge and powder. When he gets sick, I will watch him die in agony."
Although Ouyang Qing's expression did not change, the sinisterness in his eyes gradually intensified. He felt that bringing Yang Yurong to Liangjun City was a completely wrong decision. This woman could not do anything at all and could only cause trouble.
He slowly turned his head to look at Yang Yurong. Even though he didn't say anything, there was still a slight smile on his face. The coldness in his eyes made Yang Yurong lower her head and dare not look directly at him.
She knew very well that the King of Qi was angry.
I heard from the maid Qiu'er earlier that the King of Qi was very scary when he was angry, and he could kill people without making any noise. Once a concubine angered him, and the next day she said she was sick, and within a few days, she died.
Although her current status is Liangdi, she is actually not much better than a concubine. They are all women in the King of Qi's backyard.
She just wanted to mock Du Wanwan, but she didn't expect her to be so ruthless and actually take the medicine back.
The prince came all the way here specifically to see the doctor. He had finally bought the medicine, but it was ruined by her in just a few words. It would be strange if he wasn't angry.
If I make him angry, he might really kill me.
Anyway, she came with the prince. If someone really dislikes her and wants to kill her, Ouyang Qing has a hundred ways to do it.
Thinking of the situation he was facing, Yang Yurong could no longer care about anything else. He knelt down at Du Wanwan's feet with a plop, kowtowed and begged: "Doctor Du! I'm sorry! It's Yurong's fault. I shouldn't have said something inappropriate. Doctor Du, please be generous and sell the medicine to my prince!"
When Ouyang Qing saw Yang Yurong begging for medicine for him, the gloom in his eyes slowly dissipated. He also didn't expect Du Wanwan to have such a bad temper. She could take the medicine away if she wanted and not sell it to him if she wanted.
If someone dared to do this to him in the capital, he would never have a good ending. But this is not the capital, his power is not distributed in Liang County, and he can only watch Du Wanwan being arrogant.
However, she does have the ability to be arrogant.
He deserves the title of miracle doctor, but I don't know how to win people over to him.
It was good that this incident happened. He could let Yang Yurong make amends for his mistakes. If he couldn't do it, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"No, lest you feel that ten thousand taels a bottle is a loss." Du Wanwan shook her head decisively and refused even more bluntly, "Your prince's illness should be treated by others! There are thousands of doctors in the world, there is no need to find me."
Knowing that Du Wanwan was mocking her, Yang Yurong didn't even dare to raise her head and kept kowtowing to her: "Doctor Du! It's Yurong's fault. Yurong is willing to be punished. Please be merciful and sell the medicine to us."
Ouyang Qing sat aside without saying a word, just quietly watching the reaction on Du Wanwan's face. Her arrogant little face was lively and bright, and her black eyes were as smart as a fox, which was very tempting.
None of the women around him was so bold. The princess followed the rules all day long, not taking one more step, not saying one more word, being very well-behaved and boring.
The same goes for the concubines in the backyard. When they looked at him, they either looked fearful and couldn't even speak clearly, or they kept their heads down and didn't say a word, like a piece of wood.
Yang Yurong did win his favor for a few days, but after seeing that it was nothing special, she found it boring.
I don't know where the woman in front of me gets the confidence from. She speaks and acts based on her heart. Even if she really wants to cheat someone, she will do it very clearly.
She snatched the medicine back, guessing that the price would increase, but she didn't know how much she would increase it by. No wonder Ye Tingxiao tried every means to break off the engagement, Yang Yurong was really not good enough in front of her.
"No sale." Du Wanwan insisted on her principles.
Ouyang Qing's smile brightened a lot: "Doctor Du! Do you think 10,000 taels a bottle is too little? How about 20,000 taels a bottle?"
Twenty thousand taels for a bottle of medicine? Is the prince a fool? That medicine can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. How can it be worth so much money?
But Yang Yurong couldn't say this. If she dared to say it, the prince would kill her.
"Oh? You want to pay 20,000 taels per bottle?" Du Wanwan immediately became interested. "Do you want to raise the price?"
Ouyang Qing held his forehead: "..." How could I be the one raising the price? Shouldn't it be you?
"Isn't there anything else I can do? I've come all this way, so I have to get something. How can I go back empty-handed? I don't want to raise the price, I want to get the medicine."
He opened the drawer, took out two bottles of medicine, and placed them in front of him: "Forget it, I can give you the medicine. Ten thousand taels of silver per bottle is fine, but you have to write me a receipt."
"Write a written agreement?" Ouyang Qing was surprised, puzzled, and confused, "What kind of written agreement do you want to write?"
Du Wanwan waved her hand and asked Yang Yurong to get up and sit aside. It looked awkward to kneel at her feet. It was an eyesore.
He said bluntly: "It's very simple. The prince did not take this medicine in time, so it was to be kept for later use. What if someone with ulterior motives added something to it and the prince got hurt after taking it, who will bear the consequences?
As for this woman you brought with you, she can still find something to target me, let alone after she left my People's Medical Clinic? You can take the medicine away, but you must leave a receipt.
Within the scope of my People's Clinic, I guarantee that the medicine does not contain any other ingredients that are fatal, disabling or injuring. If it leaves the People's Clinic, I will not be responsible."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qing's pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't expect Du Wanwan to be so meticulous. She took the medicine back not to raise the price, but to prevent any accidents in the future.
Is this woman really from a mountain village? How can a village girl with no experience think so far ahead? Is she trying to avoid all risks?
