Fang Qingyue was slightly startled, looked up in the direction of the voice, and found that it was Manager Jin.
Shopkeeper Jin was wearing silk clothes and gold and silver jewelry, which made his wealthy face look even richer.
"Doctor Fang obtained the herbs from my Chinese Herbal Hall. I can vouch for Miss Fang on this matter." He glanced at those people, his small eyes filled with coldness. "Who dares to say that the herbs in my Chinese Herbal Hall are not good?"
Hearing this, the others suddenly fell silent.
You have to know that Zhongcaotang supplies the Imperial Medical Bureau. To accuse Zhongcaotang of selling both genuine and fake medicines is like sending the head of the Zhongcaotang owner to the emperor's chopping block.
Who would be willing to do this?
What's more, the quality of Chinese medicinal materials in Zhongcaotang is indeed top-notch. It is impossible to sell genuine or fake ones, or inferior medicinal materials.
"Mother-in-law, you said that selling Panax notoginseng and Rehmanniae together caused your husband's accident. But we never sell Panax notoginseng in our Chinese Herbal Hall." Shopkeeper Jin's eyes turned cold as he looked at the mother-in-law who was still sitting on the ground. He said coldly, "Panax notoginseng and Chrysanthemum have almost the same medicinal effects, but Panax notoginseng is too weak. If you use half a penny of Chrysanthemum as medicine, you would need two taels of Panax notoginseng instead. So, the price is even cheaper than Chrysanthemum."
"You said that the Panax notoginseng came from the medicine sold to Fang Qingyue by Zhongcaotang, but do you have any evidence?"
For a time, public opinion suddenly reversed.
"That's right. If Panax notoginseng were really used as medicine, it would be more expensive than Frost Leaf Chrysanthemum. The herbs sold at Zhongcaotang are all the most effective ones, and Panax notoginseng would never appear there."
"I previously came to Mingyue Clinic for treatment, and the medicines Dr. Fang prescribed for me were all relatively expensive, but extremely effective. Based on the prices of Chinese Herbal Medicine, she was practically paying for our treatment. And now, there are people who are speculating about her like this!"
"Perhaps it's because the price is so low that people mistake it for a fake."
"That's because the price of the medicine I gave to Doctor Fang was not expensive!" Shopkeeper Jin's eyes were cold. He scanned the faces of those who were speculating about Fang Qingyue one by one, and found that they seemed a little guilty, and his eyes flashed.
Following Shen Yuhan's orders, he sold the medicine to Fang Qingyue at a lower price.
I originally thought that Fang Qingyue would sell medicine according to the prices of other medical clinics, but unexpectedly, Fang Qingyue only slightly increased the price of each medicine.
Although it is indeed a lot, it is still much more reasonable than the prices in other medical clinics which are almost double the price.
There is profit, but not much.
"Miss Fang treated my wife before. At that time, she had a bump on her face that didn't heal for a month. If she hadn't treated her, she would have been worried for a long time. What's more, she is willing to treat many poor people for free!"
Shopkeeper Jin played with the Buddhist beads in his hand, trying to calm his anger. "Everyone, I am willing to give Doctor Fang this convenience because I know that in her eyes, whether rich or poor, there is not much difference."
"I myself come from a poor background. If I hadn't accidentally opened the Chinese Herbal Hall, I'd probably be a poor man who couldn't even afford medicine. I'm willing to provide convenience to Doctor Fang, so what's wrong with that?"
Hearing this, the mother-in-law's eyes flashed.
She finally sat up and said, "Maybe I was wrong..."
"Doctor Fang, I'm so sorry. Maybe I mixed up this medicine with other medicines, which is why this went wrong."
Fang Qingyue's eyebrows raised, and she asked angrily, "A mistake?"
"Mother-in-law, can you dispel your slander and accusations against me by saying 'I made a mistake'? My Mingyue Clinic sold you medicine at a low price, and yet something went wrong? If it weren't for Shopkeeper Jin's willingness to come forward and explain the situation, would you have taken down the Mingyue Clinic's sign by now?"
Her eyes were wide open, filled with anger.
"Besides, you can say that my medical skills are not good, but you can't slander me for mixing real and fake medicine. This is a crime of murder and robbery. If the news gets out and I don't clarify it in time, I'm afraid my reputation as a doctor will be ruined!"
Shopkeeper Jin echoed, "Exactly. How can such a light apology offset your slander against her? From now on, anyone can accuse her of selling fakes and real goods without having to bear any consequences. What's that?"
For a moment, many people around joined in.
These people had benefited from Fang Qingyue, so naturally they didn't want her to become discouraged and disappointed because of this kind of thing, and stop selling medicine at a low price.
Therefore, one by one, everyone stood up to speak for Fang Qingyue.
Amidst the clamor, the mother-in-law had no choice but to compensate Fang Qingyue with a sum of money.
After this incident, Fang Qingyue also made it clear in advance in the clinic.
If you use Fang Qingyue to see a doctor, the medicinal materials in the clinic will still be sold at the previous price.
If you come here to get medicine, the price of each herb will increase by two cents.
But with Zhongcaotang endorsing Fang Qingyue, there are still many people willing to come here for medical treatment.
After all, the Chinese medicinal materials sold individually at Zhongcaotang are not cheaper than those sold here at Fang Qingyue.
For a time, many people came to buy medicine and see a doctor because of her reputation, and Fang Qingyue was very busy.
After the incident passed, Fang Qingyue went to Zhongcaotang to find Manager Jin to express her gratitude.
Since many people came to Zhongcaotang to buy medicine, she was not in a hurry. She just found a chair to sit down and observed the people coming and going.
Suddenly, a person came in from the door. It was Song Xiaoya.
Her fake pregnancy had not yet been exposed, but these past few days she had been asking to go out and buy medicine, using the excuse that miscarriage was harmful to her health.
Now that I have found this excuse, I have to pretend to do it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the Chinese Herbal Hall, she saw Fang Qingyue sitting aside, drinking tea.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Sister, since you are so poor, you should not come to a place like Zhongcaotang to buy medicine. The medicine here is not cheap. If you use the medicine here to do business, I am afraid you will lose money."
Hearing this, Fang Qingyue raised her eyebrows and didn't take Song Xiaoya's sarcasm seriously.
"I'm here to buy medicine, and you're buying it in small quantities. I can certainly afford the medicine you can't afford, so you don't have to worry about it for me, sister."
Song Xiaoya punched the cotton, furious.
She didn't have much time to go out, and she had other things to do, so she had no time to argue with Fang Qingyue.
After quickly buying the medicine, Song Xiaoya turned around and left Zhongcaotang.
Fang Qingyue sat aside and heard everything about the medicine Song Xiaoya bought and the final bill.
Just now she was actually a little surprised as to why Song Xiaoya said that.
But when she calculated carefully, she found that the money Song Xiaoya spent on the medicine was more than twice as expensive as what she got from Manager Jin.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Fang Qingyue stood up and asked the child who was picking up the medicine, "Sir, could you please allow me to go see Shopkeeper Jin? I have something to ask him."
The child who picked up the medicine was also one of Shen Yuhan's men. He did not stop Fang Qingyue. Instead, he pointed to the yard behind and said, "Shopkeeper Jin is resting inside. Doctor Fang can go in directly."
Fang Qingyue lifted the curtain and walked into the yard.
