As soon as she finished speaking, Zhiruo walked back from the backyard and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Seeing this, Li Ping, who was standing behind Leng Chuchen, pointed at her.
"What are you laughing at? You people here are so rude. One of you is calling us crazy, and the other is laughing at us. Call your manager out here and we'll see what's going on."
Seeing Li Ping pointing at her, Zhi Ruo instantly became angry.
She rolled up her sleeves, walked up to the three of them, raised her chin, and loudly reminded them.
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully. The man standing in front of you is the manager of our Luo Family Medical Clinic."
Her words caused Leng Chuchen's face to darken further, while Li Ping and Hu Ke seemed not to have understood.
"You're saying she's the manager? She's a young woman, how could she possibly be a manager?"
"That's right, I think that uncle from earlier looked quite like him. Don't try to fool us. Quickly bring the manager out. We have urgent business to attend to. If we delay something important, you can't afford to take responsibility."
"ha……"
Zhiruo glared at the two of them defiantly.
“This clinic is run by my family. People who come to our clinic either come to see a doctor or get medicine. You neither come to see a doctor nor get medicine. I think you’re here to cause trouble. Believe me or not, I’ll go and report you to the authorities right now.”
Li Ping also raised his voice and met her gaze.
"Go ahead and report it. Let's see if the authorities dare to do anything to us."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhiruo pointed to a spot not far away and jumped up.
"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. You are not allowed to leave; wait here."
As she spoke, she jogged over to Xie Jiaxun, who was walking towards them.
"Young City Lord, a few troublemakers have come to the pharmacy."
Xie Jiaxun looked in the direction she was pointing with great surprise, and then came to the Luo family clinic. He looked them up and down. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they did not seem like evil people, but rather had a rather impressive aura.
He respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and asked directly:
"Gentlemen, I am Xie Jiaxun, the young lord of Phoenix City. Judging from your appearances, you don't seem to be locals. May I ask what the Luo Family Pharmacy has done to offend you? Are you here to cause trouble?"
Hu Ke immediately retorted:
"Young City Lord, is it? Don't listen to her nonsense. When did we cause trouble? We just want to see Doctor Luo, but they're blocking our way. Since you're the Young City Lord, give us your reason. Why can't we see Doctor Luo at the Luo Family Pharmacy? Is Doctor Luo just a figurehead, afraid to show his face?"
"You're all talk and no action. I've told you before, my older sister is the manager here. You can talk to her if you need anything, but you don't believe me. You keep asking me questions. Isn't this just causing trouble?"
"Your older sister?"
Li Ping pointed at Luo Zhiwan.
"Ha! She's a woman, a shopkeeper? A miracle doctor? I doubt she can even soothe a child properly, but she's quite good at extorting money."
At this point, he looked at Xie Jiaxun as if he had just remembered something.
“Yes, you are the young city lord, you have to stand up for us. We were extorted by her as soon as we entered the city today, you have to take care of this.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiaxun's brows furrowed instantly, and he immediately looked at Luo Zhiwan.
"Miss Luo, what's going on?"
Seeing that Li Ping was still bringing up the thousand taels of silver, she became even angrier.
She took two steps forward, staring at Leng Chuchen with her beautiful eyes.
"Can't you control your men? What are you saying? Am I trying to extort you? Your horse almost trampled my son, that's why I'm asking for compensation..."
Leng Chuchen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman in front of him. Her eyes suddenly gave him a sense of familiarity.
He frowned slightly and reprimanded Li Ping.
"Shut up! Have you forgotten why we came here?"
Li Ping stopped talking in anger, then glared hatefully at Zhiwan and Zhiruo.
He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xie Jiaxun and said:
“Young City Lord, this is a misunderstanding. Regarding the one thousand taels of silver, it is true that I frightened this young lady's child. Compensation is appropriate, and there's no need to mention it again. We came here to see Doctor Luo, but these two young ladies have been preventing us from seeing him…”
Xie Jiaxun's eyebrows twitched slightly as he glanced at Zhiwan, then shrugged and chuckled.
"Haven't you already seen it? Doctor Luo is standing right in front of you!"
Seeing his gaze fall on Luo Zhiwan, Leng Chuchen frowned in surprise, while Li Ping and Hu Ke looked at Luo Zhiwan with disbelief.
Leng Chuchen looked at Xie Jiaxun again.
"The young city lord isn't joking?"
"Why joke about something like this? Miss Luo is the Divine Doctor Luo. In Phoenix City, you can find out about her by asking any child."
Leng Chuchen looked at Luo Zhiwan somewhat awkwardly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to her and said:
"So you are the Divine Physician Luo, young lady. My apologies for not recognizing you."
Luo Zhiwan frowned slightly, raised her chin, and nodded.
"Yes, what's up?"
Leng Chuchen's eyes showed displeasure at her arrogant attitude, but he still replied politely:
"Miss Luo, my grandmother has contracted a strange illness. Could you please come and treat her?"
"cannot."
Without thinking, she replied directly:
"My rule is known to everyone in Phoenix: I never make house calls."
“But my grandmother is very ill, and my home is far from Phoenix. She can’t afford to travel.”
"Young master, didn't you hear what I just said? I never make house calls for medical consultations. If there's nothing else, please leave!"
