"What nonsense are you talking about! My master is doing his best to treat patients, how can I allow you to slander him like this!"
"Is it slander? Everyone has seen it." The man shouted, "If it's not so, she knew that you were incapable of saving my wife and children, so why didn't she come up herself! She just doesn't take the lives of us poor people seriously!"
Lin Mingzhu frowned. She didn't want to embarrass these people, but this man kept going further and further.
And she also vaguely felt that this time, it seemed that someone was targeting her. Otherwise, a man from a farming family would not have to cause such a big commotion here.
She looked at the people in front of her and simply said, "Is it possible that everything I do by setting up this clinic and treating you for free is wrong?"
The man smiled coldly, "You dignitaries, just for your own good reputation, when have you ever taken the lives of ordinary people like us seriously?"
Lin Mingzhu looked at the man in front of her coldly. She was basically certain that this man was here to cause trouble, and of course she would not be kind to him.
"I don't know who arranged for you to come here, but since you have done this, you must bear the corresponding price."
The man was not afraid at all. Instead, he shouted loudly, "Did you see it, folks? This woman killed my wife and children, and now she wants to threaten me. You have to help me be a witness!"
No matter what, people of the same class will side with their own people. No matter how unreasonable this man is, he is indeed right on a few points. Lin Mingzhu did not take the woman's pulse at the beginning. Now no one can say for sure whether the woman was bleeding heavily when she first came here, or whether her apprentice who only learned the basics of medical skills considered it as heavy bleeding.
Moreover, anyone with experience could tell that the woman had lost so much blood that she was obviously not going to survive.
If he died here, it would be the responsibility of this clinic no matter what! So most people started arguing with the man, asking Lin Mingzhu and others to give an explanation.
At that time, Song Ruoxue and Gu Shaohe were outside the crowd. When Song Ruoxue saw this scene, she wanted to go in immediately, but was stopped by Gu Shaohe, "Miss, what do you want to do now?"
"Of course I'm helping Sister Lin. Don't you see that everyone is so angry now? What if she gets hurt?" Song Ruoxue said as a matter of course.
Gu Shaohe quickly pulled her back to stop her from going inside, and said earnestly, "You also know that the people are very angry now. Aren't you afraid that those people will smash your head if you break in now?"
Song Ruoxue covered her head with her hands when he said that, but she still frowned, "Then I can't just let Sister Lin be bullied there alone."
Song Ruoxue is a loyal person.
Gu Shaohe said: "I think what happened today is not that simple. It seems like someone did it on purpose." There was a kind of coincidence in this matter. If it was not intentional, Gu Shaohe would never have thought that when something happened, the man would not think of asking the doctor to save his wife and children, but instead thought of shifting the blame to the clinic.
Song Ruoxue was originally worried about Lin Mingzhu, and after hearing what Gu Shaohe said, she couldn't help but think about it, "If it was set up by someone, it could only be the Chamber of Commerce."
Song Ruoxue was not stupid. She understood that they had now touched upon the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, those people wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. The current commotion might be aimed at them.
"Let's wait and see what happens. I'm wearing court robes right now. If I rush out, I'm afraid it will arouse even greater public anger, and then it will probably end badly."
Song Ruoxue gritted her teeth, "But now Sister Lin is surrounded by so many people, what if she is in danger?"
Gu Shaohe consoled him, "The Royal Guards are here. If things really get out of hand, there's nothing we can do."
Song Ruoxue could only nod.
Things were not as bad as the two people thought. Lin Mingzhu looked at the person in front of her and said, "You are here to cause trouble just because of your wife and children's illness, right?"
The man looked at her with a cold smile, as if she was telling a joke.
Lin Mingzhu simply said, "What if I keep your wife safe?"
"If you really have that ability, she wouldn't be bleeding so much now!" But the man didn't believe it at all. His wife's fetus was crooked and it was a girl. Many doctors said that she couldn't give birth to the baby. They advised him to abort the child quickly to save the mother.
But just a while ago, a group of people came and gave him five hundred taels of silver, asking him to cause trouble in front of the clinic today, and they would give him another five hundred taels of silver after he succeeded.
How could he not agree to this? He could marry his wife again, and the baby in her belly was a daughter anyway, and she couldn't carry on the family line, so he might as well exchange some money for him. The man knew that the doctors here were highly skilled, and he was afraid that she could really cure his wife and help her give birth smoothly, so he deliberately delayed for a long time.
It was not until the woman started to bleed heavily and everyone who saw her said she had a high risk of survival that they took her to the clinic.
Seeing that the matter was almost successful, he naturally did not panic. Now that the person was dead, he could get the 1,000 taels of silver given by his employer, and if the extortion was successful, the clinic would definitely pay him back! Lin Mingzhu saw through his intentions and smiled coldly, "I can't save her, but we have another miracle doctor here. As long as she doesn't die today, she won't die!" After that, he ordered people to move the pregnant woman in.
As soon as she entered the room, Shen Qingqiu was already waiting. Lin Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Qingqiu, go check on her first. I'll go prepare the battle line."
The situation was urgent, and Shen Qingqiu had no time to ask questions. He nodded hastily and then checked the pregnant woman's pulse.
When Lin Mingzhu was talking to the man just now, she saw Shen Qingqiu had appeared in the crowd. She had read the medical book written by Shen Qingqiu, which happened to have some methods for dealing with the delivery of the woman in front of her. However, she only read it once and had no experience in doing it herself, so she had to give up.
Judging from the time at that time, the woman would bleed to death within half an hour at most.
The fastest time to get here from the palace is one and a half hours. Lin Mingzhu really didn't want to give people hope and then disappoint them, but she really didn't expect Shen Qingqiu to come here at this time. It was really a sudden turn of events.
After everything was ready, Lin Mingzhu stood beside Shen Qingqiu and whispered, "How is it, Qingqiu, are you sure?"
Shen Qingqiu smiled, "Don't worry, now that I'm here, there's no reason for her to die like this."
Lin Mingzhu was finally relieved when she heard her words.
"I can stop the heavy bleeding for her, but the baby is in an abnormal position. If I use acupuncture, the baby must be born within half an hour at most. Otherwise, the hemorrhage caused by the abnormal position of the baby will not be stopped. By then, I am afraid that both mother and child will be harmed."
Lin Mingzhu said.
Shen Qingqiu looked calm and composed, "Don't worry, give me the acupuncture, there will be no problem."
She could even bring back people from the gates of hell, not to mention that this woman's two feet were still outside, and she had never stepped into the gates of hell. Seeing her so confident, Lin Mingzhu felt relieved and just calmed down and gave the woman acupuncture.
Half an hour later, the woman and her daughter were safe and sound.
After washing his hands, Shen Qingqiu said: "It is not appropriate for me to be here at this time. You take the child out first."
Lin Mingzhu nodded and said, "I think someone is deliberately targeting me in this matter."
Shen Qingqiu nodded, "I probably already know who it is. Gu Shaohe is already here. As soon as the baby is born, he will arrest the husband of the woman in labor. By following the clues, we will eventually find the mastermind behind the scenes." In fact, Shen Qingqiu also had an idea of who it was.
"This is most likely done by the people from the Chamber of Commerce. I'm telling you now, but don't reveal it when you get out there. They must have done things like this very carefully, and now they've done it once or twice, so we can just let them think we didn't notice it, and then we can catch them all in one fell swoop later."
Lin Mingzhu nodded, "I'll do as you say."
Shen Qingqiu looked at the child in Lin Mingzhu's arms again and gently hooked his finger, "He is a lovely child, but it's a pity that he has such a father."
Lin Mingzhu also sighed after hearing this.
At this time, the sound of noise outside came out again. The man kept saying that his wife was dead and demanded that Lin Mingzhu and everyone in the clinic give him an explanation.
A hint of disgust flashed across Shen Qingqiu's eyes, and he said to Lin Mingzhu: "I'm leaving, you should get out as soon as possible to prevent the commotion outside from getting bigger and bigger."
Lin Mingzhu nodded.
The man outside heard no sound from inside for half an hour and was convinced that his wife and children were already dead.
She was crying outside, saying that Lin Mingzhu was murdering for money, but she didn't expect that at this moment, Lin Mingzhu had already pushed the door open. She pushed the door open with one hand, holding a baby crying weakly in the other hand, "Your child is here."
The man's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. He had already determined that his wife and children were doomed to die, and he had even thought about how to spend the money she and children earned for him after their death.
It can be said that he is the one who least wants his wife and children to be safe at this moment.
"You...you just picked up a child from somewhere and tried to fool me...how could this be my child..." The man shook his head and looked at the people behind him. "You, you all saw it, my wife lost so much blood and was about to die. How could she give birth to a child safely?"
The man's words sounded like he was cursing his wife to death, and it made the person who heard it feel uncomfortable.
But that's the fact. Anyone who has experience giving birth would know that there is an 80% chance that the baby will not survive, seeing the woman pretending just now.
"And this female doctor said before that she couldn't cure it, so how come she can cure it now? Did she think I'm stupid and deliberately reported a child to deceive me?"
