Chapter 99: Runan as Witness



No matter what, the atmosphere in the room became bad when Miss Jun was mentioned. Madam Ning San smiled and stood up to smooth things over.

"Okay, let's go. I'll go with you to write a letter to your brother." She put her arm around Ning Yunyan's shoulder and said with a smile, then took Ning Yunyan downstairs.

Madam Ning Si also stood up and took her leave, and the maids and servants followed her out of the house.

Storytellers in Yangcheng's teahouses and taverns told the story every day, and it was also told everywhere in the streets and alleys. Naturally, the maids of Shangning's family in Beiliu Town also knew about it.

"A miracle doctor." Madam Ning Si curled her lips at the maid, "I wonder if she is still in clinic? Let everyone see her miraculous skills."

The maids all laughed.

"How dare she do that?" they said, "It's easier for her to hide at home and be a strange woman."

Madam Ning Si laughed and left with her people.

At this time, Yangcheng was also very lively.

The novelty of Fang Dechang's story of saving the late emperor has passed, but the story of Miss Jun, the young mistress of the Fang family, has set off a new wave of excitement.

"So Miss Jun didn't come to our Yangcheng alone and had nowhere to go?"

"Yes, he said he was originally going back to Runan, where he has a family, a business, and a reputation. He came here just to treat the illness of the young master of the Fang family."

"So that means the engagement and the entanglement with the Ning family are all fake?"

"The engagement may not be fake."

"What? Miss Jun gave up her engagement in order to treat her cousin and help the Fang family get revenge?"

"Yes, or else she would be a strange woman."

"I think that's nonsense."

The tea stalls at the city gate were filled with people who came to rest and escape the heat. Naturally, they were talking about the latest stories, as there were various opinions on the stories.

"There should be a limit to making up stories. The Fang family is different now, so it's understandable that they want a respectable young mistress. But it's fine to use a specific title, or even just say that she came here to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens in order to help the young master of the Fang family treat illnesses. Why call her a miracle doctor?" The man said, shaking his head. "Do they know what a miracle doctor means?"

This theory has existed since the first day Linglongren talked about Linglongji.

The story is exciting, tortuous and bizarre, but the word "miracle doctor" in it has not been ignored by many people.

So Master Fang was not cured by Chong Xi, but by this Miss Jun?

In fact, the Fang family said this when they were questioned by Magistrate Ma on the street after taking out the imperial edict. However, everyone just thought that this was the Fang family's excuse to the government.

The Fang family's young master, who had been declared incurable by so many famous doctors over the past ten years and would not live past the age of fifteen, was cured by this Miss Jun?

Are these famous doctors just following suit in the past decade, or are they all unskilled in medicine?

This is not a joke.

"Are you kidding? Just go see Miss Jun and you'll know." Someone laughed.

This statement also drew a lot of eye rolls.

"I'm just kidding. You try to look for it."

"That's the Fang family. They have an imperial decree in their hands. They say the disease has been cured even if it can't be cured. What can you do?"

The teahouse was bustling with people talking and laughing. A car came from a distance on the creaking road and stopped in front of the teahouse.

The person who rushed to catch the bus was a young man. He rushed under the scorching sun, his face was covered with sweat and his face was red from the sun.

"Boss, give me three bowls of tea," he said loudly.

The shopkeeper responded by serving tea to the young man.

"Come in and sit down," he said.

The young man did not come in, but carefully lifted the car curtain.

"Mom, how is Dad?" he asked.

The shopkeeper was also serving tea and looked into the car with curiosity. He was so scared that he couldn't help but scream, which also stopped the lively atmosphere in the teahouse. Everyone looked over.

The young man's face turned even redder, and he lowered the car curtain with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, my father is sick." He said, looking at the shopkeeper who was retreating, hesitating and not reaching out to take the tea.

The shopkeeper had come to his senses and apologized profusely before bringing up the tea.

"I was just too surprised." he said quickly.

The young man was also very thirsty, so he didn't refuse and passed two bowls of tea into the car to his parents. He also took a bowl and drank it in big gulps.

"Young man, judging from your accent, you are from Henan?" the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask curiously.

The young man smiled innocently.

"Yes, I'm from Runan, Caizhou Prefecture," he said.

Runan?

When these two words were uttered, exclamations were heard in the quiet teahouse.

"Why did someone from Runan come to Yangcheng?" the shopkeeper asked, glancing at the carriage, "and brought a sick old man with him."

When he asked this question, the young man showed a strange expression, as if his question was the one that was puzzling.

"She came to see a doctor." He said, "Miss Jun Jiuling is visiting her grandparents in Laiyang City now."

There was a moment of silence in the tea shed.

The young man didn't care, put down his tea bowl and gave the money.

"Excuse me, where does Miss Jun live?" he asked.

No one answered him.

The young man looked at these people with some confusion.

"Don't you know?" he said, "Miss Jun is so famous."

Miss Jun is indeed famous, but everyone seems to understand famous in a different way.

The shopkeeper came to his senses first and showed him the way. The young man thanked him profusely and hurried into the city.

After he left, someone grabbed the shopkeeper and asked him what the person in the car looked like and why he was so scared.

"There's a pimple on your face." The shopkeeper gestured with his hand, a little frightened, "It's this big."

The teahouse immediately became noisy.

“Is this true or false?”

"I came from Runan."

"Just like a storyteller, he is probably hired by the Fang family."

"I just said I was a miracle doctor and people came to seek treatment. What a coincidence, if not a stooge?"

"I don't know how many guests the Fang family has invited. It's meaningless to invite this one."

The man's words soon came true. After that, many people from Runan came to Yangcheng one after another, and all of them asked the same question when asking for directions.

Where does Miss Jun Jiuling live?

This made the excitement in Yangcheng even more intense.

"Laughing? We came all this way to lie to you after eating our fill!" Facing the people's questioning, the tired and hot Runan people who were asking for directions in front of the city gate were very annoyed, "Miss Jun is a miracle doctor, how can that be fake?"

In the end, I looked at these people with annoyance, sarcasm and pity.

"We were originally envious of you. Miss Jun is right here with you. You really got a great deal. Who would have thought that you were so blind that you didn't even know it."

After all, there is a bit of contempt that locals have for outsiders, and that city dwellers have for country folks.

"What an insight."

What do you mean by "no experience"? They have no experience at all!

How could a young lady who only knew how to make a fuss about marrying the most famous young man in Yangcheng be a miracle doctor?

Even the most knowledgeable people cannot sympathize with these two.

The people of Yangcheng felt aggrieved and unfair.

"Then let us also see it."

The people from Yangcheng who were dissatisfied also followed these people from Runan who came to seek medical treatment to the Fang family.

But unfortunately, no one can see it now because Miss Jun is not at home.

Those people from Runan who came to seek medical treatment were properly accommodated by the Fang family. The young master of the Fang family received them personally and promised to write a letter describing their condition and send it to Miss Jun. If they were willing to wait, they could wait here for Miss Jun to return, and the Fang family would pay for their food and lodging.

This promise made the people of Yangcheng excited again.

"If this isn't Thor, then what is it?"

"How can someone who seeks medical treatment be treated like an ancestor?"

"Food and drink are provided, and medical treatment and medicine are also provided for free?"

But the arrogance of the people from Yangcheng was once again despised by those who came from Runan seeking medical treatment. Regarding the Fang family's promise, the people from Runan remained calm and did not faint from excitement.

"Is this exaggerated?" They looked at the excited people of Yangcheng with condescending disdain, "You are really ignorant."

How come you are so ignorant again?

Have they seen this kind of thing before?

The people of Runan all laughed when they heard this question.

"Of course I have seen it before," they said, "Miss Jun and Master Fang did the same thing when they were in Runan."

When I was in Runan.

The people of Yangcheng all thought of the storyteller's story of the extraordinary woman who carried the sick and the elderly on her trek back to Runan.

Are there any old stories or legends in Runan as well?

"Of course there is." The people of Runan said with full memories, "The old story of Runan is a legend."
