Chapter 680 Accusation
Xu Qingshan raised his eyes and saw Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang standing there. He immediately walked over, saluted Xu Miaomiao and said, "This time, it's all thanks to Xu Niang for saving me."
"We are all family, why are you being so formal?" Xu Miaomiao helped Xu Qingshan up and spoke.
After handing Xu Nianmiao to Gu Yuanniang, Xu Qingshan stepped forward and said, "Madam Xu, since you have found the antidote for this thing, these innocent people may ask for help. You can cure me, so can you cure them? Think about it, it was you who solved the plague last time, and it's you again this time. You must be the lucky star of our Bai County."
After listening to Xu Qingshan's words, Xu Miaomiao did not continue to speak, but just looked at Gu Yuanniang beside her. Gu Yuanniang immediately stepped forward and pulled Xu Qingshan and said, "What are you thinking about? Don't say it."
"Why can't I speak?" Xu Qingshan stared at Gu Yuanniang beside him, somewhat confused. He just looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "I think Madam Xu is really amazing. She can even find an antidote for something like this. She's amazing!"
Gu Yuanniang glanced at Xu Qingshan.
Xu Miaomiao also smiled, looked at Xu Qingshan and continued, "Brother Qingshan, this antidote was not developed by me, it was given to me by someone else."
"Who are you? If you have the antidote, why don't you use it? Why do you let the people suffer?"
Xu Qingshan was a little confused and seemed to want to get to the bottom of it.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately pulled Xu Qingshan's sleeve and said, "Why do you care who he is? Don't worry about it. Hurry up and cook for me."
Xu Qingshan hummed in confusion and was about to turn around when Xu Miaomiao spoke first: "Brother Qingshan, I noticed that the city gates were locked today. Is there something wrong? You must know something about it in the academy."
"What, the city gate is locked?" Xu Qingshan was even more surprised when he heard Xu Miaomiao's words. He smiled awkwardly, then looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "To be honest, Madam Xu, there are not many people in the academy these days. I just went back to get those things. I don't know if there is any news. By the way, Brother Wu Shao, I haven't seen him for a long time. I think he knows."
"Oh, he's been busy these days. Besides, with this illness, he can't leave, so he won't come back."
"I see."
Xu Qingshan muttered to himself and left slowly.
Song Wu Shao rarely stayed in the mansion before, and only when Xu Miaomiao was there could he be seen at breakfast and dinner. If it was at other times, he could not see him at all.
So Xu Qingshan didn't pursue the matter any further.
Seeing them leave, Xu Miaomiao sighed and felt uncomfortable. Now Bai County was under lockdown, and she didn't know if Song Wushao knew the news.
For some reason, no one could concentrate on the meal.
Li Yi also hung his head: "I don't know when the plague here will be cured."
Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything, and no one spoke either, as if they thought this was a question that no one could answer. They just ate the food in their bowls.
There were so many things on her mind that Xu Miaomiao couldn't sleep all night. She tossed and turned and really couldn't sleep well. She got up early in the morning and sat on the bed in a daze.
"Master, there are so many people outside the door, Madam Gu can't handle it anymore, so let me come and call you."
Li Yi's voice suddenly came from outside, and Xu Miaomiao was pulled back from her daze. She got up, put on her clothes and went out.
"What's going on?"
While rushing towards the front hall, Xu Miaomiao asked about Li Yi's current situation.
"I don't know. It's just that these people came up to me out of the blue, clamoring to see you, Master. They also asked if you were the one who caused the plague, and they were full of foul language!"
Xu Miaomiao was also stunned, as if she had never expected someone would say that. She was stunned. She had originally thought that these people came to see her for medical treatment, but she had never expected that they came to complain.
When they reached the door, Gu Yuanniang held it tightly and refused to open it. Seeing Xu Miaomiao, she smiled and said, "It's okay, Miaomiao. Go and have a rest. I can handle these things."
The noise outside continued to ring, but Xu Miaomiao stroked her forehead, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "It's okay, Liu Niang, please get out of the way."
"No, Miaomiao, you don't even know how many people are here."
"It's okay. We didn't do anything wrong. Why should we be afraid of them?"
"But..." Gu Yuanniang was a little hesitant. Seeing Xu Miaomiao's determined eyes, she could only push him away silently and step aside.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao opened the door, it was quiet outside, except for a lot of discarded vegetable leaves and eggs on the ground.
"Everyone, I know I haven't done anything wrong, why do you treat us like this?"
"Why? Originally, everything in this county was decided by Prime Minister Song. But when the plague broke out, Prime Minister Song disappeared. That Hu Chong doesn't care about us at all."
"That's right, what kind of miracle doctor are you? Why can't you cure this disease?"
"What's strange is why no one in their family has contracted any strange disease, but everyone in our family has fallen ill. Why are you the only one who is innocent? They must have secretly hidden the antidote."
"If you have the antidote, why don't you shout it out? We were wrong to trust you."
"Is it possible that she caused this plague? Otherwise, why are all the people in her family safe?"
"I saw that. She and another woman went to the market mysteriously wearing bamboo hats. They didn't buy anything yet."
"They were the ones who went to Shui Village earlier. This matter definitely has nothing to do with them."
Everyone started arguing here, one after another.
Xu Miaomiao just explained: "Everyone, I can only say that I have never done anything to harm others. If I really did, I could have made you a dead body during the last plague, and I would not have brought disaster upon myself. Why would I have to make a name for myself? Now Magistrate Hu is the magistrate of Bai County. If you want to blame him, why don't you go find him instead of bullying us?"
These people are bullies who only pick on the weak and fear the strong. Seeing that Song Wushao has not returned in the past few days, they dare not provoke Hu Chong. Anyway, they just want to find an excuse to vent their anger. Xu Miaomiao is the first person.
Since that was the case, Xu Miaomiao no longer showed any mercy. She looked at the people in front of her and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I know everyone is anxious and angry, but you shouldn't throw this dirty water in front of us. I, Xu Miaomiao, am a kind person on weekdays, and everyone has seen it. There is no need to follow the trend and come here. I, Xu Miaomiao, have a clear conscience."
