Upon hearing this, the doctor at the pharmacy was horrified.
In his opinion, even if a woman had some knowledge of medicine, how could she compare with him, an old doctor who had been in the pharmacy for so many years?
He looked up at Fang Qingyue, who remained calm and allowed the pharmacy clerk to come over and check the twenty kinds of medicinal herbs on hand.
After the inspection, the pharmacy clerk announced, "This young lady picked out twenty herbs. The order and types are perfect. This competition is won by the young lady."
As soon as the words were spoken, the outcome of the bet was naturally revealed.
Shen Yuhan bet on Fang Qingyue to win, and all the money bet by others was given to Shen Yuhan after deducting the money that the dealer should have deducted.
For a time, those who participated in gambling became dissatisfied.
The doctor at the pharmacy saw this scene from afar and suddenly shouted, "I don't accept it. This competition is unfair!"
His voice was so loud that it almost drowned out the voices of everyone else present.
Fang Qingyue heard this and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. But when she looked up again, she looked innocent again.
"What's so unfair about this competition?"
"It's obvious that you cheated to beat me!" the pharmacy doctor yelled.
"I was standing perfectly fine, how could I have stepped on dog shit and fallen? You must be afraid of losing the competition, so you sent someone to interfere with me."
Fang Qingyue took a step forward and said calmly, "But after you fell and before you cleaned up, I didn't make any move to look for medicine."
She originally didn't want to talk about this matter, but now seeing the doctor in the pharmacy looking so shameless, she felt she had no choice but to tell him.
The doctor at the pharmacy stiffened his neck and said, "The fall also affected my performance! Otherwise, how could I be outdone by a young lady like you?"
He looked at Fang Qingyue coldly, waving his hands excitedly and saying, "You clearly did this on purpose, deliberately letting someone influence me! This competition doesn't count!"
After he said this, the people who lost the bet also came out to join in.
"That's right, deliberately disturbing others during a competition, how can this be considered fair? You have to pay us!"
"Let's have a rematch! The results of the competition won't count for what she did!"
"That's right! Let's compete again! We must compete again!"
"Not only do we have to compete again, but we also have to make Fang Qingyue kowtow and apologize to us!"
A group of people rushed towards Fang Qingyue, shouting and almost drowning her frail figure.
Fang Qingyue suddenly panicked and took two steps back.
The people were so close to her that they almost grabbed her clothes. Fang Qingyue looked up at Shen Yuhan, her eyes full of panic. After a while, she said, "I didn't cheat."
The next moment, a vegetable leaf flew out from nowhere and landed heavily in front of Fang Qingyue.
For a moment, vegetable leaves flew in the air and hit Fang Qingyue.
Fang Qingyue couldn't dodge in time and was hit on the collarbone by a vegetable leaf, and her fair skin was instantly stained red.
She covered her face and turned her back, but some people were still dissatisfied.
Amidst the turmoil, Shen Yuhan stood in front of Fang Qingyue, his face stern and cold: "Enough, are you going to attack the imperial officials?!"
When the people saw Shen Yuhan standing in front of Fang Qingyue, they all stopped.
"Sir, you can't ignore what she did just because she's a woman. This competition is unfair."
"That's right, could it be that you're protecting her just for the gambling money?"
Shen Yuhan raised his lips and glanced at those people. The coldness in his eyes made people tremble in their hearts: "It's just a few dozen taels of silver. Do you really think that this king will care about your money?"
His tone was bold and the crowd finally fell silent.
Fang Qingyue was firmly protected by him behind her, and she felt a little strange in her heart.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, saying, "I was here from the beginning to the end of the competition. I can prove that this girl did not cheat at all."
People moved aside to the left and right, and an old doctor with gray hair appeared in the crowd.
He looked to be in his fifties, in good spirits, with eyes that were particularly bright.
The old doctor walked slowly to the front of the crowd, approached the pharmacy doctor, and checked the medicines that the pharmacy doctor had picked up.
"You picked up nineteen herbs in total. Besides the last one, the Radox leaf, you also picked up the Fireleaf Grass, mistaking it for hemp. Even if you and the girl picked up twenty herbs at the same time, you still lost."
The old doctor stroked his beard and shook his head. "Although fireleaf grass and ground hemp look similar, their medicinal properties are completely different. If someone gets the wrong one, it could be fatal."
"Furthermore, you discriminated against this girl and spoke inappropriately. You shouldn't be a doctor."
The doctor at the clinic looked carefully at the medicine he had picked up, and finally lowered his head in guilt.
Luedima was the second of the twenty herbs, and he hadn't fallen down when he was picking them up. Even if he wanted to shift the blame to the fall, it wouldn't work.
"Well said, old sir." At this moment, the owner of the pharmacy also came out.
He was standing in the pharmacy watching the fun just now, and he saw clearly how Fang Qingyue competed with the doctor in the pharmacy.
However, he did not stand up. After all, a woman's reputation was not important to him.
But now that someone has said it, he doesn't mind being a "good guy" for the sake of the pharmacy's reputation.
"This Doctor Cen has been practicing medicine at our Huixin Hall for ten years, but I never imagined that he would be such a doctor who doesn't know how to distinguish between medicinal herbs and has such low moral character."
He looked at everyone and said loudly, "Since that's the case, from today on, Doctor Cen is no longer the doctor of my Huixin Hall."
After saying that, he looked at Fang Qingyue with a smile and asked, "Young lady, would you be willing to come to our Huixin Hall to be a doctor?"
He saw clearly that Fang Qingyue had already made a name for herself among the people through this competition.
If Fang Qingyue could be allowed to stay and work as a doctor, Huixintang would make a lot of money in the future.
"No, why are you chasing me away?" Upon hearing this, the doctor from the pharmacy wanted to fight back, but was carried by the pharmacy staff and thrown out of the crowd.
Some people threw the rotten leaves that they had not used up at him, making him run away in panic.
"We trusted you so much, but you're not even as good as a woman. Get out of here!"
How could the doctor at the pharmacy dare to harass him? He just ran away, covering his face in shame.
Fang Qingyue met the shopkeeper's gaze and understood what he was thinking.
"I'm sorry, but things got so bad with Huixintang that I don't really want to consider Huixintang for the time being."
When she was wronged and slandered by the doctor in the pharmacy, the owner clearly saw it but did not come forward to explain for her.
Now that the old doctor has offered his help, he is acting like a wise man after the event.
That doesn't make sense.
"This..." The pharmacy owner's expression suddenly became a little unhappy.
The old doctor stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "I'm quite optimistic about you. Would you be willing to be my apprentice?"
"Although I'm not a famous doctor, I've cured quite a few patients over the years. You'll definitely learn a lot from me."
"What do you think?"
