News of their preparations to go upstairs spread quickly, and Qiao Yuzhu naturally followed.
What are you doing here?
"I heard you're going up there. Are you going to see the Prince and the others?"
Du Sanniang glanced at her sideways, and seeing that she looked all lovestruck when Fu Xiaoyu was mentioned, she was furious.
As a result, I also lost my temper with this person.
"Our affairs are none of your business. It's our freedom to see whomever we want, and it's none of your concern. If you want to see the prince, go see him yourself."
"Hmph, Du Sanniang, we're both women, why are you treating me like this? I just like the Prince, why are you being so sarcastic?"
Du San Niang threw the rag aside and glared at her angrily.
"If you hadn't interfered, they wouldn't have gone up there, and they might have been together by now, and they might even have a baby."
"But I was the one who met the prince first! You're being unreasonable. There's always a proper order to things, isn't there?"
"You met the prince first, so why don't you stay by his side? What are you doing here? You've known each other for so long and you're still not together. Isn't it because he doesn't like you?"
The two women started arguing, and no one else dared to step in to mediate, for fear of being hurt by them.
Cui Yulu, on the other hand, encountered some trouble. For several days in a row, Cui Yulu went to the clinic to see patients and prescribe medicine as usual, while Ji Xiaotang watched her treat patients and secretly learned her skills.
However, a young woman suddenly arrived one day and started making a fuss as soon as she entered.
"Someone's dead! Your clinic is the one that killed someone! You all better leave now, this is a shady place, it will get you killed."
There was a long queue outside the door, and people frowned when they heard the woman's cries.
"You've come here on purpose to cause trouble, haven't you? We've been coming here for medical treatment and medicine. This is a well-known, reputable clinic. I think you're just here to cause trouble."
"Yes, you woman are deliberately trying to smear the clinic. We don't need to pay any attention to her."
Clearly, this clinic has already gained a certain reputation here, and it's impossible for ordinary people to smear it.
When the woman saw that her methods were not working, she continued to act up, but no one paid any attention to her.
"Hey, gentlemen passing by, please be the judge! This clinic killed someone and won't admit it. Who will stand up for me?"
The woman sat at the doorway, wailing and crying, blocking the way in.
However, this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for seeking medical treatment, and the woman's cries were completely ignored.
However, it quickly attracted passersby to watch, including Cui Yulu's aunt and Granny Han, as well as Cui Yufang and a young man standing beside her.
Today, Granny Han was cleaned up and put on a clean set of clothes. Although there were still patches on her clothes, she was at least much cleaner than before.
Hearing the commotion outside, Cui Yulu handed the patient over to Ji Xiaotang and then took the little mute boy out to check the situation.
She knew that the booming business of her clinic would inevitably attract malicious slander from her competitors.
"Master, you must be careful. This woman is very difficult to deal with. I'm leaving this problem to you."
Cui Yulu knew that the old man was not good at handling these kinds of trivial matters, so she never intended to let him handle them in the first place.
"You focus on treating them, I'll handle these miscellaneous tasks."
After saying that, he took the little mute boy out with him.
Sure enough, the woman continued to throw a tantrum on the ground, completely disregarding the accusations leveled against her.
"Ma'am, you keep saying our clinic killed someone, so tell me, who did we kill?"
The woman looked up and saw a young woman standing in front of her as she met the light.
"Who are you? Why should I talk to you? Tell your manager to come out and talk to me."
"I'm in charge here. Just tell me what's wrong, and we can go inside to discuss it in detail?"
Cui Yufang saw Cui Yulu's calm and composed demeanor, which she observed with a mixture of humility and resentment.
Why should she live such a miserable life? She has princes and top scholars by her side, while she has to give herself to a dying old man.
Her resentment erupted the moment she saw Cui Yulu.
"I don't want to go inside with you. What if this shady establishment kills me to silence me?"
"Ha, sister-in-law, you really know how to talk. With so many people watching, if you die, will our clinic still be able to stay open?"
Cui Yulu's gaze carried a hint of pressure, leaving the woman momentarily at a loss.
Her eyes darted left and right, and she looked up, searching for something in the crowd.
Suddenly her gaze settled on the man next to Cui Yufang.
Cui Yulu saw all of her actions.
The instant her gaze lingered, Cui Yulu also spotted the instigator in the crowd.
With just one glance, she understood everything completely.
Her sharp gaze met Cui Yufang's venomous eyes, and both of them were taken aback.
It's been over a year since we last met, and I never expected that we would meet again and be met with such despicable means.
Cui Yulu's gaze instantly turned to contempt.
He hasn't changed his temperament over the years; he's still so impatient.
"Since it was instigated by an old friend, why not come out and talk to me face to face?"
Having gone through so much, Cui Yulu has grown a lot.
Upon seeing Cui Liushi and Granny Han, she realized that she had been too weak before, which was why they still thought she was easy to bully.
"Hehe, so it's your good sister's clinic. If someone dies while you're treating her, you'll have to pay with your life."
Cui Yufang and the man beside her stood up together, looking at Cui Yulu with resentment.
Then Cui Liushi and Granny Han stepped forward together.
He looked at Cui Yulu with the same unfriendly expression.
"I never thought you were still alive. Oh, you've got a new man by your side again, haven't you?"
Cui Liushi's first words were full of sarcasm, and she looked at the little mute girl beside her with envy and jealousy.
"Aren't you the same, just as vicious and jealous as ever?"
"You, you little brat, I'm your elder, and you don't even know the most basic respect. You're such a typical ingrate."
Standing in the crowd, Cui Liushi rambled on, her only thought being to completely ruin Cui Yulu's reputation in this place, making it impossible for her to stay.
“I naturally respect elders who deserve respect, but you don’t.”
The expressions on the faces of the four people changed repeatedly.
"Cui Yulu, don't think you're so great just because you have the prince's help now. You can disregard the law and kill someone, so you'll have to pay with your life."
"Oh ho ho, I really didn't expect that my dear sister would just listen to the commotion and know that my clinic killed someone. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense here."
Cui Yulu's face turned cold, and she angrily ordered the servant beside her to go and report to the authorities.
"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"
"Report this to the authorities! Let the county magistrate give us a proper judgment."
