Chapter 774 has two demands.
"...That's exactly right."
Li San Niang watched as Princess Qingyang recounted what Banxia and Peilan had encountered. Seeing the puzzled look on Princess Qingyang's face, she stood up again, bowed, and slowly explained, "The matter is as follows: as the manager of the women's ward, I must give an explanation to those who work under me."
I will go to see Physician Ning of the Imperial Medical Bureau later to discuss this matter, and it should be resolved then.
"I came to the princess because I wanted to leverage her influence to help me achieve my goals."
Not to mention Princess Qingyang and Granny Yan, who were stunned by Li Sanniang's very honest words, even Linglan and Qiuxiang, who came with Li Sanniang, were speechless at this moment.
When asking someone for a favor, how can you state your purpose clearly from the outset?
Li San Niang, on the other hand, directly told Princess Qingyang that she wanted to use Princess Qingyang's status to "force" the Imperial Medical Bureau to give her an explanation!
"Haha, Dr. Li is indeed no ordinary woman, haha, haha."
Princess Qingyang's clear laughter rang out in the small hall, and upon hearing her words, Li Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief.
"If they can laugh out loud and even tease me, they must be able to grant my request to take advantage of their position."
Whether it was because Princess Qingyang was already dissatisfied with the libertines in the male ward because of her maid, or because she thought Li Sanniang's request was insignificant, or because she thought Li Sanniang's medical skills were superb and wanted to do her a favor, in the end, Princess Qingyang not only agreed to Li Sanniang's request to take advantage of her, but also specially sent Granny Yan and two maids to accompany Li Sanniang and the others to find Physician Ning.
With Granny Yan by her side, Li San Niang felt more confident. After announcing her arrival at the gate with a stern face, she went into the house with Granny Yan and the others. Physician Ning was standing at the head of the hall, waiting for them.
Ning Yizheng was wondering what could be so important that would bring together Granny Yan and Li Sanniang, who were by Princess Qingyang's side, to come looking for him.
Physician Ning had naturally thought about what had happened to the maidservant beside Princess Qingyang. When he saw Li San Niang with a dark face, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the scene was probably not going to be pleasant.
After exchanging greetings and sitting down, Li San Niang got straight to the point, without any pleasantries, and briefly recounted the story of Ban Xia and Pei Lan. She then turned around and took the portrait of the libertine that Ling Lan had painted the night before.
"This is the person!"
Although I, Li Mingfang, am not a member of the Imperial Medical Academy, I earned my position through the examinations of the Chang'an Medical Alliance.
I have the heart of a healer, and I teach several techniques to others free of charge, never thinking of asking for anything in return.
But today, with Granny Yan, who serves Princess Qingyang, as my witness, I truly must speak to Physician Ning about my request.”
Li San Niang stood up and faced Ning Yizheng, who was sitting at the head of the table. She bowed respectfully and then looked up at Ning Yizheng and solemnly said, word by word, "The female physicians transferred from the Imperial Medical Bureau are all diligent and conscientious. They have never slacked off in treating patients with me over the past few months."
There are currently 67 women in the ward. From the first day I entered this drug rehabilitation center until today, a total of four months and seven days have passed, and not a single person has died.
This was not my achievement alone, but something I did together with them.
"Imperial Physician Ning, even though I and these female physicians are not of official rank, we work for the Imperial Medical Academy and for the Tang Dynasty. How can we allow such a dissolute scoundrel to humiliate us?"
As she spoke, Li Sanniang's voice grew louder and her tone became increasingly angry. She looked at Physician Ning, whose brows were furrowed and who also seemed angry, and said, "Please, Physician Ning, do us justice!"
Find that scoundrel, make him apologize to the female doctor, and punish him according to the law!
Anyone who wantonly humiliates a respectable woman, especially one who is an official working for the government, and who does not hold a title or official position, is punishable by twenty lashes according to the law.
Before the ashen-faced Physician Ning could reply, Li Sanniang continued, "In addition, I would like to ask Physician Ning to arrange a few female guards who know martial arts for my women's ward to protect our safety."
Therefore, Li San Niang actually made two requests: first, to deal with that frivolous man who had humiliated Banxia and Linglan;
Second, hire female guards for the women's ward to ensure the safety of the women in the ward.
Ning Yizheng looked at Li Sanniang, then at Granny Yan who was watching Li Sanniang perform, and thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"
It's no good that Li Sanniang brought the princess's people to our door!
"That damned Wang Sanlang, why did we have to bring him back? He would have been better off dead in the first place."
Regardless of what Ning Yizheng was thinking, he first asked Li Sanniang to sit down and talk properly, and then invited Li Sanniang and Granny Yan to have some tea.
Ning Yi was looking down at the portrait of the libertine drawn by Linglan on the table. He had already figured out who the libertine was. Linglan's drawing was indeed excellent, and the small black mole on the lower left chin was also a very obvious feature.
This person was Sun Er, the younger brother of the concubine of the second son of Zhou, the head of the Ministry of Revenue. He was known as Sun Caihua.
Just from this nickname, you can tell that Sun Er is no good. Sun Er was originally a regular at the brothels in Pingkangfang.
As Ning Yi listened to Li San Niang's account, he came to understand the whole situation.
Sun Er was poisoned in the brothel and was sent to this drug rehabilitation center.
After several months, the illness was mostly cured, and Sun Er, no longer threatened with death, couldn't resist. He happened to meet Banxia and Peilan, who were out. Sun Er realized that the two were just servants working in the women's ward, not noble ladies.
Thus, Sun Er's lustful desires were aroused. Fortunately, Pei Lan was quick-witted and slapped him on the back of the head, then quickly pulled Ban Xia away and ran.
Afterwards, Sun Er realized that his behavior was wrong and didn't tell anyone.
Banxia and Peilan were merely marginalized female physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau and did not suffer any real harm, only some fright. They probably returned without telling anyone about it.
But!
Princess Qingyang's maid was also harassed by a lustful playboy, which made Li Sanniang aware of the humiliation and harassment that Banxia and Peilan had suffered at the hands of Sun Er. Therefore, Li Sanniang took advantage of the situation and went to Princess Qingyang's door to confront her.
The matter is simple and clear, but the problem lies in Li San Niang's request. The second one is easy to solve; all we need to do is speak to the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and ask the camp outside the capital for a few female soldiers.
If all else fails, they can always hire a few female bodyguards from a security escort agency.
But Li San Niang's first demand was that Sun Er not only apologize but also be tortured.
What should we do?
“That Sun Er is a scoundrel, and he doesn’t hold any official position, but the Zhou family, who are related to him, are hard to say.”
Ning Yizheng quickly adjusted his expression, looking both angry and empathetic. He scolded her a few times, then invited Li Sanniang to sit down, and after a few words of comfort, he slowly said with a troubled expression, "...Dr. Li, I completely agree with what you said."
But look, if this matter is exposed, wouldn't it also damage the reputation of those two female doctors?
"Perhaps we should secretly investigate and find that young man..."
Li San Niang naturally noticed Ning Yizheng's dilemma, and judging from his expression, he probably wanted to resolve the matter peacefully.
Since Li San Niang had told the other women that she needed to give them an explanation, how could she possibly comply with Physician Ning's wishes?
