Chapter 359 It’s not her fault that she is beautiful
Zhuang Shihan looked up and saw that familiar face. She suppressed her disgust and said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Xi, long time no see."
"Why are you pretending? We just met two days ago."
Xi Lin didn't give her any face at all and said bluntly: "But you were busy discussing important life events with others at that time, so it's normal that you didn't notice me, an insignificant person."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in the room suddenly became subtle.
Who should I discuss important life matters with?
Thinking about the gossip that was spreading like wildfire in the city and even known to everyone in the streets and alleys as the New Year was approaching, everyone in the room now had only one thought in their minds.
After all this has happened, can General Lin still marry her?
Even if he is open-minded and doesn't mind being cuckolded before he even marries the girl, will the crazy prince of Liang let him go easily?
Although no one said anything, their eyes, eager to watch the fun, betrayed their thoughts.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Zhuang Shihan felt uneasy. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You don't do your work all day long, but you overhear a few seemingly plausible words and make a big deal out of it.
Are you still a man with the surname Xi?"
Xi Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you anxious?"
Zhuang Shihan took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to curse, and said coldly, "Divine Doctor Xi, I don't think I've ever offended you."
Xi Lin sneered: "Princess Shihan is really a forgetful person."
Meeting his mocking gaze, Zhuang Shihan's expression changed slightly as she thought of something. Frowning, she asked, "Why can't you wait until I finish treating the patient? Why do you have to rush into this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people immediately felt very dissatisfied.
Someone snorted coldly and said, "Exactly, why are you in such a hurry? Are you just rushing to reincarnate?"
Xi Lin glanced at the man, who, far from being frightened, stiffened his neck and said, "What kind of miracle doctor are you bragging about? You do nothing all day long but bully girls. Have some shame."
"What a bullshit miracle doctor! I think he's just trying to gain fame."
"All he does is bully women. He's a piece of shit. I've never seen anything like him."
"Why is Xi always picking on Princess Shihan? Could he have some feelings for her?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
But the man seemed not to notice the aversion in the atmosphere. He chuckled and said, "Although this pretty boy can't compare to the prince or general, he's still pretty good-looking."
The person beside him wanted to cover his mouth and said in a low voice: "You are asking for your life, how dare you say anything."
The man said disapprovingly, "Look at your courage. You're not ashamed. Didn't the princess tell us before that we don't need to pretend in front of her. Feel free to speak freely."
Not only did he say this, he also looked at Zhuang Shihan and asked, "Princess, am I right?"
Everyone's eyes fell on her.
Zhuang Shihan was furious, but she had to force a smile and said, "This gentleman is right."
If possible, she would rather have killed him with a needle when she was treating him than to see him being so smart here.
What's the point of listening to what she said and speaking freely? He has a tongue that makes him look so obvious!
When the man heard this, he became even more proud and rolled his eyes and said, "What did I say? The princess is not that kind of petty person. She won't get angry because of a few words from everyone.
Besides, Prince Liang is obsessed with her, and it’s not her fault that she was born beautiful.”
When the people around heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and their eyes clearly showed that they were proud of her.
That's the prince of Liang.
Not only does he admire Princess Shihan of Da'an, but he also keeps a woman who looks similar to him by his side. It's ridiculous and he doesn't look like a crown prince at all.
As long as he continues to be useless like this, once Emperor Liang dies, Liang State will no longer be a threat to Da'an, and it is possible that it will be annexed and become a vassal state.
And all of this is thanks to Princess Shihan!
The more they thought about it, the kinder the people looked at Zhuang Shihan, and their praises came one after another as if they were free.
But Zhuang Shihan didn't feel happy at all after hearing these words.
Xi Lin is too quiet.
It's not like him to be quiet.
Worried that he might suddenly snap and say something he shouldn't, Zhuang Shihan looked at Chunsheng and instructed, "You stay here and take care of him. I'll have a word with Doctor Xi and I'll be back soon."
Chunsheng nodded in agreement.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
However, Zhuang Shihan didn't have the patience to listen, so she stood up and walked out.
The people queuing behind her were already anxiously waiting, and when they saw she was about to leave, they immediately refused.
"We've been waiting for such a long time, why can't we wait until we finish watching it?"
"Exactly. Didn't the princess just say there was no rush?"
"I can't leave. I have a terrible headache and I'm waiting for the princess's medicine to save my life."
They all had smiles on their faces, but the words they spoke were more aggressive than the other.
What we know is that they begged Zhuang Shihan to treat them.
If you don’t know, you might think she was begging them to come.
In the past, this kind of thing would never have happened.
But things are different now.
In order to shut up the people in the city, Zhuang Shihan provided free medical treatment and food and drink, and even donated ten thousand taels of silver to help build the Tzu Chi Hall and raise homeless orphans.
Her good deeds have indeed earned her a good reputation.
But correspondingly, the people in the city increasingly felt that she was beautiful, kind-hearted and easy to talk to, and that she could do anything.
People always try to get more than they deserve.
Especially when they realized that Zhuang Shihan remained polite in the face of some rude requests, their attitude naturally changed.
The way he spoke was far less respectful than before.
Zhuang Shihan's expression changed, and she soothed them, "Everyone, please be patient. It's still early today, and we will definitely not leave anyone behind."
She paused, looked at Xi Lin with a complicated expression and said, "It's just a few words, it won't take much effort."
Understanding her reluctance, someone immediately spoke up, "It's just a few words, and it's not something shameful. Why don't you just say no?"
Xi Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled particularly happily.
The fox's eyes were filled with the pride of having succeeded.
Zhuang Shihan's heart sank, and she was the first to speak, "I'll be back soon. If anyone really can't wait, they can go to another clinic for treatment."
Upon hearing this, the room suddenly exploded.
"Why are there still people pushing patients outside?"
"Where's the doctor's compassionate heart? Princess, are you planning to watch someone die without helping?"
"What words are more important than everyone's life."
"They all call themselves miracle doctors, but I'm just calling them quacks!"
The two emotionally excited people pushed through the crowd and rushed to Zhuang Shihan, yelling at her to finish treating them before leaving.
The two men walked steadily and spoke with full energy, and they didn't look like they were sick at all.
Chunsheng recognized the voice of one of them and whispered in Zhuang Shihan's ear, "Princess, these two people are here with ill intentions. They caused trouble during the epidemic years ago."
He was about to speak when one of them interrupted him, "Just say whatever you want to say openly. Why are you hiding it? I wonder who you think you're guarding against."
Another person asked directly, "Everyone in front has finished watching, and now you want us all to leave. Does the princess look down on us?"
