"You're still talking to me about the law. To tell you the truth, my master has already informed the government! You've harmed my old man, and you still want to live, old thing?" The He family's housekeeper grinned and waved his hand to signal his men to arrest Yu Ruhai.
Several men rushed forward with ferocious looks and tried to tear Yu Ruhai apart. Yu Ruhai's old face turned pale and he muttered absentmindedly, "How can that medicine kill people? I prescribed it according to Meng Yujiao's prescription..."
After hearing this, Yu Zhou's eyes lit up and a plan came to her mind. She pointed at Yu Jiao who was standing at the door of the east room and said, "It was her. She prescribed the prescription and the medicine. She was the one who killed your old master! Don't arrest my master, arrest her. She was the one who killed him!"
Yu Ruhai's cloudy old eyes moved, and he struggled to shout at Yu Jiao, "It's not me, it's not the prescription I prescribed. She gave me the prescription for carbuncle, and she also cured the carbuncle on the back of the second master of the Mu family! Every grievance has its perpetrator, and you should go and settle the score with her!"
A person was standing at the edge of the house, and the pot fell from the sky. Yu Jiao smiled coldly. Yu Ruhai was a fool. He had been practicing medicine for most of his life, but he was still so careless that he dared to prescribe medicine without the right symptoms.
Several men looked at Butler He, and for a moment they didn't know who to arrest.
Butler He had not expected this to happen. He frowned and looked at Yu Jiao. Seeing that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he could not help but cursed her viciously, "You are such an unreliable quack. You actually used a prescription written by such a little girl to treat the old man. Well, you are deliberately taking human life lightly!" He waved his hand and said, "Catch them all and bring them back to the mansion."
The two men grabbed Yu Jiao. Yu Qizhe subconsciously took a step forward and protected Yu Jiao behind him. He said coldly, "She was not the one who prescribed the medicine. It has nothing to do with her."
One of the men pushed Yu Qizhe away and shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"
Yu Qizhe staggered after being pushed, and Yu Jiao reached out to support him. Before the two men grabbed her roughly, she looked at the leader, Manager He, and said, "What is your old master's illness? Although I prescribed a prescription to cure the second master of the Mu family's back carbuncle, I have never treated your old master."
The steward of the He family came in person that day and indeed did not see Yu Jiao show up. However, the master came to seek treatment because he heard that the Yu family had cured the second master of the Mu family. In this way, the village girl who treated the second master of the Mu family is also related.
"Take them all back and let our master decide!" Manager He was too lazy to say more. He came here on behalf of his master just to take the people back for settlement.
Several men took Yu Jiao and Yu Ruhai out without any explanation. The Song couple stepped forward to stop them but were thrown to the ground.
Zhao collapsed on the ground and started crying, at a loss. The whole yard was in chaos. Yu Jiao turned around and looked at Yu Qizhe. He was leaning against the stone wall of the east room. His handsome face was cold and his narrow peach blossom eyes were looking at her. His eyes were deep and complicated, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Compared to Yu Ruhai's panic and fear, Yu Jiao was much calmer and composed.
The villagers watching outside the courtyard were talking about it, and they all looked at Yu Jiao with strange eyes. The wife of Yu Jiawulang was really a woman who would make a big splash if she did make a name for herself. This half-grown girl dared to prescribe medicine to treat people's illnesses. It was not the Yu family's own fault that she killed people!
Zhou Huai and his wife, who were saved by Yu Jiao, were also standing in the crowd. Their eyes met Yu Jiao's. They avoided her gaze and lowered their heads.
A man suddenly emerged from the crowd and blocked the He family's way. The He family steward took a closer look and found that it was Doctor Jiang from Huichun Hall. His originally furious face softened and he said respectfully, "Doctor Jiang, you were visiting my old master at home, why are you here?"
Yu Jiao's almond-shaped eyes lit up when she heard this. Is the old man of the He family still alive?
Jiang Qinghe straightened his clothes which were a little messy due to his hasty journey, looked at the embarrassed Yu Jiao and Yu Ruhai, and asked Butler He, "What's going on? Didn't your master say that it was the medicine prescribed by Doctor Yu? Why was Miss Meng also arrested?"
Butler He hurriedly explained, "Doctor Jiang, do you know this girl? The Yu family said that she was the one who prescribed this medicine."
Jiang Qinghe had already looked at the prescription, and it was the same one that the Second Master of the Mu Family had taken to Huichuntang last time. However, from what Meng Yujiao had the medicine boy relay to her that day, it was impossible for her not to have diagnosed that the symptoms of the Old Master of the He Family and the Second Master of the Mu Family were different. He looked at Yujiao, who had a calm expression, and said, "Miss Meng, was it you who prescribed the medicine for the Old Master of the He Family?"
Yu Jiao shook her head, "No."
Seeing that she had pushed the blame away, Yu Ruhai was afraid that all the blame would fall on him, so he immediately shouted, "Why not? I used the prescription you prescribed for the second master of the Mu family. If the old master of the He family got sick after taking it, it was because of your prescription that had a problem!"
Jiang Qinghe felt relieved when he heard that. He sneered, "You quack doctor, the pulse of the old master of the He family is weak, which is very different from the pulse of the second master of the Mu family. How can his body withstand the medicine you used?"
Being refuted in front of everyone in the village, Yu Ruhai's face turned red, but he dared not say a word.
"It's all because of this quack doctor. Let Miss Meng go. How can you be so rude to her?" Jiang Qinghe looked like he was trying to protect Yu Jiao.
The housekeeper of the He family looked embarrassed. "Doctor Jiang, the prescription was written by her. She has nothing to do with it. I have to bring her back to the mansion and let my master ask about it."
"Manager He, can you please have a word with me?" Jiang Qinghe waved his hand.
The steward of the He family walked hesitantly to Jiang Qinghe's side. Jiang Qinghe lowered his voice and said, "Steward He, you don't know that this Miss Meng is a superb doctor. I just saved your old man's life temporarily. If you want to save your old man, you have to rely on her."
The He family steward was skeptical of Jiang Qinghe's words. He tilted his head and glanced at Yu Jiao, muttering softly, "How can a little girl like her have as good medical skills as you? Don't fool me."
"She cured the back carbuncle of the second master of the Mu family. If your old master had not been examined by that quack doctor named Yu but by Miss Meng, I think this incident would never have happened. The head carbuncle of old master He must have been cured."
Jiang Qinghe felt that Yu Jiao had great talent in medicine and wanted to recruit her into Huichuntang, so he took great pains to explain for her.
"Really?" The He family steward thought for a moment, "I will eventually bring this person back to the mansion. If she can really cure my old master, I think my master will naturally not make things difficult for her."
"Then you should be more polite. She is just a little girl and she can't run away, so don't let anyone hold her back." Jiang Qinghe said.
The steward of the He family frowned and stared at Yu Jiao for a while. He felt that what Jiang Qinghe said made sense. If this little girl could really cure the old man, she might even be treated as a guest of honor by her own master. There was no need for him to offend her so early. She was just a little girl who would fall at the slightest breeze. Even if he didn't control her, she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
He waved his hand to the two men holding Yu Jiao and said, "Let go and take this Miss Meng back to our house."
Yu Ruhai saw Jiang Qinghe mumbling something to the steward of the He family. The steward suddenly changed his mind and stopped letting people detain Yu Jiao. Instead, he politely used the word "please". Yu Ruhai was immediately panicked. He wondered if the He family wanted to put the blame on him alone. He was so frightened that his eyes went dark and he fainted.
