Chapter 191 I See Who Dares
Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly, met Zhuang Shihan's angry eyes behind her veil, and asked with a smile in her voice, "Has anyone ever told you that you and Lin Tingfeng are actually a good match?"
She deliberately didn't lower her voice, and when the word "matched" came out, the indignant beggars were stunned.
Although they had not received much education, they knew that these two words were compliments. Whenever there was a wedding in the city, they would run over and say with a smile that they were a good match in exchange for a bowl of leftovers.
If you are lucky, you can even scoop up some meat scraps to eat, which is so delicious.
The little beggar put down the hand holding the stone, raised it again, and then put it down again.
He whispered to the person next to him: "Is she saying something nice?"
"Right? Last month, when I went to Mr. Liu's house to ask for good fortune, I told him that his sixth wife was a perfect match for him. He was so happy that he even gave me a few copper coins."
After hearing this, Zhuang Shihan felt like cursing.
Mr. Song hated her and Brother Feng so much that he had no time to say anything nice.
Especially when they praised them for being a good match, I immediately felt something was wrong!
Zhuang Shihan had a gloomy face and was about to change the subject when she heard Song Yanxi suddenly chuckle.
Meeting her threatening gaze, she sneered, "You two are full of hypocrisy and yet you're trying so hard to cover up yourselves. You're truly a perfect match. It's disgusting to even look at you any more."
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I..." Zhuang Shihan stretched out her hand to pull the veil off Song Yanxi's face, but was frightened away by the cold light that flashed across her hand.
In Song Yanxi's hand, there was a delicate and small dagger.
Zhuang Shihan's face turned pale, and she immediately responded loudly, "As a female doctor, why are you carrying such a dangerous thing?"
Without waiting for her to continue guiding people, Song Yanxi smiled and said, "Of course I'm guarding against you."
Zhuang Shihan blurted out, "Stop talking nonsense here. I didn't touch you just now."
The beggars surrounding her suddenly became angry and shouted at her to move aside, saying that they would teach Song Yanxi, who was ungrateful, a lesson.
"It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, ungrateful to see a kind heart. It's a pity that Princess Shihan was so protective of her just now."
"That's right, a vicious woman with a black heart and rotten heart like this should be dragged out and beaten to death!"
I don’t know who shouted “Smash her to death”, and the others followed suit, with fierce eyes as if they wanted to eat people.
Song Yanxi had no doubt that these people were bragging.
They really dare to do this.
The long-term precariousness of living from hand to mouth and the need to rely on others for charity just to have a full meal have made them hate this unfair world.
They envy and hate the rich, especially those like them who are descendants of wealthy families who have been living in luxury since birth and live in a place far beyond their reach.
Her grandfather once told her that in the eyes of some extreme people, even if they did nothing, their existence in this world was wrong.
Not seeing any panic in her eyes, Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth and asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will really kill you?"
"Let's see who dares!" A cold shout suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned around angrily, but their anger instantly subsided when they saw the person coming.
The person who had just shouted the loudest lowered his brows and said submissively, "Mr. Liu."
Doctor Liu has been stationed in the border town for many years. He brings his apprentices to provide free medical services in the city every month without fail. From seventy-year-old men to three-year-old children, everyone recognizes his face.
Especially these beggars who cannot afford medical treatment and have no money to buy medicine on weekdays, whenever they get sick, they will try their best to endure and wait until the free clinic day to queue up for him to see a doctor.
Doctor Liu is kind-hearted. When he finds a disease that can be cured, he not only prescribes medicine but also provides it for free. The children in the city affectionately call him "Weird Grandpa".
The reason why Zhuang Shihan dared to come alone this time was that she used the excuse that she was entrusted by military doctor Liu to treat them.
Otherwise, she would never dare to go into the beggars' den alone.
Doctor Liu pushed everyone aside with a cold expression, walked quickly to Song Yanxi, and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Song Yanxi shook her head. Seeing that they were all wearing gauze covering their faces, she knew that they had already returned to the general's mansion. She quickly took two steps to the side to make way.
Before she could speak, Zhuang Shihan suddenly rushed over and kicked over the medicine residue, sneering and asking, "You were squatting there watching for a long time, did you see anything?"
She caught a glimpse of Doctor Liu frowning, and said bluntly, "Why bother trying to find out what prescription I'm prescribing? I'll just write it down for you. There's no point in doing something so shameful."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sigh of relief all around.
Even though they didn't dare to say anything for the sake of Doctor Liu, their resentful eyes looked as if they wanted to bite a piece of flesh off Song Yanxi's body.
Someone murmured quietly, "She has no medical skills, yet she still wants to steal other people's prescriptions. How shameless! No wonder General Lin doesn't like her."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan wanted to clap her hands and cheer, and asked him to say a few more words if he could speak.
It would also let the man surnamed Song know that a woman as dull and boring as her would not be liked by men.
Song Yanxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw the obscene look in the eyes of the person who spoke, which made her feel even more disgusted.
By using these people, isn't Zhuang Shihan afraid of getting into trouble if she fails to control them?
The man was about to say something when he heard hurried footsteps and the rustling sound of armor rubbing against each other.
A team of fully armed soldiers with cotton coverings lined up on the spot, weapons in hand, blocking their retreat.
The general in silver armor stepped forward, nodded at Song Yanxi, and said in a cold voice: "Anyone who doesn't return to the tent within three calls will be killed without mercy!"
Feeling the murderous aura coming from him, the beggars looked at each other and felt their legs tremble.
But they were unwilling to go back like dogs in such disgrace.
One person stepped forward and tried to argue: "General, you see, we are not on the main road, it won't get in the way..."
Qiu Zongping didn't waste any words and kicked him directly with his leg.
The man was kicked in the abdomen and took several steps back, and was quickly supported by his companions.
Seeing that he was serious, everyone's eyes were filled with fear, but they dared not speak out.
For a moment, all the beggars looked at Zhuang Shihan, with hope clearly in their eyes.
They are stinking beggars, without status and identity, and dare not confront the general head-on, but she is a princess personally appointed by His Majesty.
Her status was so noble that if she spoke, they would not believe that this blind person would dare to be so arrogant.
Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip lightly, glaring at Qiu Zongping with anger in her eyes. She asked coldly, "General Qiu, what do you mean? They may be beggars, but they are also part of Da'an. They are flesh and blood and have dignity. How can you beat and scold them for no reason?"
