Has he been rejected again?
Fu Zhun hadn't held out much hope, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
Just as he was pondering how to ease the tension, a shop assistant rushed in, panting.
"Mr. Su, we've finally found you!"
The ambiguous atmosphere in the room was immediately broken, and both of their gazes were drawn to it.
Su An tilted her head, staring at him with a puzzled expression.
"Why are you looking for me instead of working properly in the shop?"
"It's not me, it's that our shop has been surrounded by people. They specifically asked to see you by name. I've tried to persuade them and explained everything, but they just won't leave. I had no other choice but to come and find you."
The waiter caught his breath, waved his hand, and explained to Su An.
Upon hearing this, Su An's brow twitched, and he felt a little uneasy.
She doesn't seem to have offended anyone recently!
Why are so many people blocking the shop entrance so aggressively looking for her?
As if sensing her unease, Fu Zhun's eyes darkened, and he placed his hand on the wheelchair before walking to Su An.
"Let's go out and have a look. I'll come with you."
Hearing this, Su An felt a little more at ease.
She got up, went around behind Fu Zhun, pushed the wheelchair, and together they hurried towards the door.
Upon arriving at the entrance, one indeed saw a large crowd of people completely blocking the shop's entrance.
With the door blocked like this, how is she supposed to do business?
Su An paused, helped Fu Zhun to a stop, and then stepped forward.
Upon seeing her, the people swarmed around her, pleading with her in a cacophony of voices.
"Miss Su, please have mercy and save us!"
"Yes, Miss Su, please, for the sake of our neighborly relationship, let the divine doctor help us again. The doctors in town have tried everything to cure the poison in our bodies, but they still can't. Right now, I'm afraid only the divine doctor can save us."
"The divine doctor has disappeared without a trace, and we have nowhere to look for him. If even Miss Su doesn't help us now, we're afraid we'll just have to wait to die."
...
Su An frowned as his gaze swept over everyone.
Before she could even speak, a cold sneer came from behind her.
"When you were shouting and killing at Miss Su, did you ever think of her even a little bit of affection? If there was no affection to speak of, why should Miss Su help you?"
Although Fu Zhun's voice was not loud, it was extremely authoritative.
After just a few words, everyone fell silent, exchanged unpleasant glances, and lowered their heads in shame.
After a moment of silence, someone took the lead.
"We were wrong before. We believed the words of the villain and misunderstood Miss Su. We kowtow to Miss Su to admit our mistake and beg for her forgiveness!"
Upon hearing this, the people knelt down one after another, hushed tones, and began to apologize to Su An.
Su An was already feeling quite upset.
This kneeling incident only made her feel more aggrieved.
The reason these people misunderstand her is because He Ping is secretly plotting against her.
Ultimately, they were also victims, so she couldn't say she hated them.
If they asked her for something else, she might have agreed, but asking her to invite a miracle doctor was really asking too much of her.
Xie Qingfeng has an eccentric temper, and even if he could save him, I'm not confident I could persuade him.
She quickly pulled at the people in front of her, urging them, "No, what are you all doing? Get up, get up now!"
No matter how much she pulled, the people in front of her refused to get up and insisted on kowtowing to her in repentance.
What's the difference between this approach and coercion?
While uttering words of repentance, they also used the guise of morality to force Su An to do things she didn't want to do.
How ironic!
Fu Zhun glanced at Su An's retreating figure with heartache, his hands on the wheelchair clenching into fists.
The next moment, he raised his hand and gave the order in a cold voice.
"Jian Yi, drive them all out! Anyone who dares to approach again, kill them without mercy!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yi drew his sword and strode forward, followed closely by a group of guards, rushing into the crowd.
Upon seeing this, a young woman dressed in coarse linen clothes and with a haggard face in front of Su An became agitated.
While holding her child, she kowtowed repeatedly to Su An, tears and snot streaming down her face, but she seemed oblivious, mechanically repeating her prayers.
"Please, Miss Su, save my child! Please, save my child! My child is only one year old, he can't die!"
Perhaps the force was too great, because blood was drawn from her forehead.
The baby in the swaddling clothes seemed to sense something and began to cry loudly.
This scene deeply affected Su An, and the words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue but he just couldn't bring himself to say them.
Before the sword guards could make a move, she spoke up to stop them.
"Wait!"
"Sister-in-law, get up quickly, don't scare the child."
Under everyone's gaze, Su An, with sympathy in his eyes, walked up to Sister Lin, squatted down, put his hands on her arms, and helped her up.
Then she looked at the people and spoke loudly.
“I understand how you feel, and I can ask the miracle doctor on your behalf, but I can’t guarantee what the miracle doctor will do. The miracle doctor has his own thoughts, and I can’t control his decision.”
Even the faintest hope is better than waiting to die.
Upon hearing her words, the people knelt down and thanked Su An.
"Thank you, Miss Su!"
After seeing the people off, she suddenly felt a pang of regret.
It's all because of her damned compassion.
Investigating the emperor's assassination attempt was already a headache enough, and now she has to help them find Xie Qingfeng. She really is making trouble for herself.
Su An turned around with a long face, only to meet Fu Zhun's helpless gaze.
"They treated you like that, and you repay evil with kindness? That's a bit too kind of you."
"Don't blame me for not warning you, being too kind makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of. In the future, you should think more about the consequences of your actions."
Fu Zhun shook his head at her and said this.
Su An himself was well aware of all this.
But she just couldn't bring herself to sit idly by and say no.
Su An shrugged and sighed.
“After all, so many lives are at stake. I can’t just stand by and watch them die! Besides, with them blocking the door, I can’t do business. Violent suppression may solve the problem, but it’s not a long-term solution.”
As she spoke, a fawning smile appeared on her face, and she moved closer.
"Besides, I still have the Prince! The Prince cares about the people, he will definitely help me, right?"
Xie Qingfeng is always elusive; if Fu Zhun hadn't helped her, she probably wouldn't have even been able to catch a glimpse of him, let alone ask him for help in rescuing someone.
Fu Zhun glanced at her, then turned the wheelchair around.
The sound drifted into Su An's ears on the wind.
