Chapter 221 You are so unwilling to be lonely and can’t leave a man for a moment
Xi Lin was about to speak when he heard Song Yanxi's chuckle in his ears.
She said, “If the recipe is developed, the credit will go to Princess Shihan. If there is any mistake, it will be Doctor Xi’s unwillingness to help wholeheartedly.
Princess Shihan's calculations are so astute, no wonder her business is so successful."
There was a flash of anger in Zhuang Shihan's eyes, but she was not panicked. She just said coldly: "You are such a thoughtful person. You have to think twice before others say anything. No wonder everyone in the general's mansion dislikes you."
With just a few words, Song Yanxi was described as worthless and everything she had done in the general's mansion for two years was negated.
Just think about it, how bad must a mistress with the power of housekeeper be in her social life to end up with a reputation that is disliked by everyone?
If these words were said in front of the ladies in the capital, not only would Song Yanxi's reputation plummet, but the wives of the clan members would also stay away from her, and no one would send her an invitation to any banquet in the future.
Even her mother's family, the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion, would be burdened by her fame and become the topic of conversation among others.
As a woman, Zhuang Shihan's words can no longer be described simply as vicious.
Even though Xi Lin had never been married, he had sisters at home and knew how malicious her words were.
Doctor Li was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at her, his fingers trembling and he couldn't speak.
How could there be such a vicious-hearted woman in this world?
Song Yanxi looked at Zhuang Shihan, not missing the hidden excitement in her eyes. Instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Princess Shihan is right. I am indeed a thoughtful person. I usually think ten steps ahead before taking one step. I am not as straightforward and daring as you."
Zhuang Shihan's face was filled with disdain. "It's rare to be a human being. We only have a few short decades. Naturally, we should do whatever we want. If everyone lived like you, they would be exhausted to death."
Xi Lin sneered, "You're so shameless yet you still say it so refreshingly. Is this how you act so boldly?"
"Interrupting others when they are talking, is this Xi's upbringing?"
"No matter how poor Xi's upbringing is, she couldn't have raised someone so shameless as to hook up with a married woman and nearly anger her own father to death in public."
"You!" Zhuang Shihan laughed out of anger, her eyes falling on Song Yanxi's face, and she sighed, "I really underestimated you. First, Prince Jin had a miracle doctor, and now you're so unwilling to be lonely that you can't live without a man for a moment..."
Doctor Li shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
"You're a woman too. Even if you're not a kind person, you shouldn't slander others' reputations with every word you say. Is this how Duke Jingguo raised you?"
"As someone who always favors Song Yanxi, what qualifications do you have to judge my upbringing?" Zhuang Shihan asked coldly.
Doctor Li was so angry that he almost fell over.
He said angrily, "I don't think it's enough for me to even look at a younger generation with a character like yours."
Xi Lin quickly stood up and helped him up, saying, "Mr. Li, I'll take you to rest first."
Doctor Li nodded and gave Zhuang Shihan a meaningful look before leaving. He said, "Instead of blaming others for being unfair, why not first examine yourself and ask what you have done?"
He took a few steps, then suddenly turned back as if thinking of something, and said gravely, "If you do too many bad things, you will always be punished. I advise the princess to take care of herself."
Zhuang Shihan smiled disdainfully, "Alright, I want to see who of us gets punished first."
Although she thought she had concealed it well, Song Yanxi did not miss the panic that flashed across her eyes when she heard Mr. Li say the word "guilty".
What is she panicking about?
Does what Mr. Li just said prove that he knows something?
"Just listen to what that old man says, don't pay any attention to it."
Song Yanxi's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by Zhuang Shihan.
Looking at the person who sat down directly opposite her, seemingly not feeling awkward at all, Song Yanxi packed up her paper and pen and prepared to get up and leave.
"Let's work together."
Song Yanxi raised her eyes and looked at her, "Princess Shihan, are you joking?"
Zhuang Shihan chuckled, "I think you are a smart person. There is an epidemic spreading throughout the city, and the situation is getting worse day by day. People will start dying in a few days.
By then, the border town will be in chaos, and you and I, as military doctors, are already inside the city. The only outcome is that we will be buried with them."
"so?"
"You have no choice but to cooperate with me."
Facing Zhuang Shihan's eyes that seemed to be confident of victory, Song Yanxi said sincerely: "Princess Shihan is so confident no matter what or where. It's really enviable."
She spoke from the bottom of her heart and did not hide her praise at all, but to Zhuang Shihan it sounded like naked humiliation.
She asked sarcastically, "Do you really think you can develop a cure for the disease just by the few of you?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, she continued, "There's no cure for this disease. Even if you rack your brains, you won't be able to find a solution."
Hearing this, Song Yanxi frowned, "If there is no solution, how can we talk about cooperation?"
She thought of something and said coldly, "The city gates are under martial law. Even a fly can't fly out of the border town. You'd better give up this idea."
Zhuang Shihan laughed instantly and asked, "You don't think I'm going to run away, do you?"
"Don't worry, I won't leave. I can't bear to leave."
It took her two full years to finally gain the support of the army and the people of the city. With her current influence and appeal, how could she possibly leave?
Besides, everything in front of her was exactly what she wanted.
Although the situation was more serious than she had originally imagined, as long as she wanted, she could get everything back on track.
The prerequisite is that these people are willing to cooperate.
Suppressing the irritability in her heart, Zhuang Shihan looked at Song Yanxi and asked, "Why did you choose to become a doctor?"
"I was deceived by my master."
"You actually have a master?"
Seeing Zhuang Shihan's shocked expression, Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "You believed me just because I read two medical books?"
That look was just short of calling her stupid.
Zhuang Shihan was angry and annoyed, but she could only suppress it temporarily and asked, "Who is your master?"
Song Yanxi said calmly, "He's just a traveling doctor in the countryside. You haven't even heard of the Xi family, so naturally you haven't heard of my master's name either."
Seeing that Zhuang Shihan wanted to ask something, she took the initiative to ask, "Princess Shihan keeps talking about cooperation, shouldn't you let me see your sincerity first?"
"What do you want to see?"
"Finish what you just said."
Zhuang Shihan was stunned, and her eyes showed even more regret.
Knowing that she wouldn't speak easily, Song Yanxi stood up and said, "I'm not in a hurry. When Princess Shihan has made up her mind, come find me again."
"Why are you pretending?"
Zhuang Shihan looked at her coldly and said sarcastically, "You clearly want to save the people of this city, so why are you putting on airs in front of me?"
Seeing that no one was around, she simply said, "I don't have the heart of a saint that you all have. It doesn't make any difference to me whether a few people die in the city or hundreds of people die."
Hearing this, Song Yanxi's face suddenly turned cold, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves.
Zhuang Shihan met her cold, angry eyes and asked with a half-smile, "What about you? Their lives don't matter to you, do they?"
