Jirentang holds a free clinic on the 15th of every month, providing free medical care to the poor in the neighborhood without charging a consultation fee. This has earned Jirentang a good reputation.
Upon hearing this, many people in the crowd fell silent and lowered their heads.
Humans eat grains and other foods, and no one can guarantee that they won't get sick. Jirentang is the best medical clinic in Yanyang. If you offend Jirentang, it will be troublesome if you or your family members get sick one day and have nowhere to seek medical treatment.
Seeing this, Ma Yun'an was even more pleased. These troublemakers had no money and no power, so what could they use to fight him? A little intimidation would silence them.
Ma Yun'an, relying on his status as a doctor at Jirentang and a disciple of the divine physician Cai, never paid any attention to the poor and common people, and didn't even notice that Su Ruojin's smile had deepened.
However, the smile didn't reach his eyes; instead, there was only a hint of ruthlessness and eccentricity in them.
She took a pill out of her bag, casually played with it in her hand, and then flicked it lightly with her fingertip.
call out!
The next second, the smug look on Ma Yun'an's face froze. Before he could say anything, he fell heavily to his knees on the ground.
Ma Yun'an's face turned pale with pain when his knee suddenly slammed into the floor.
He instinctively tried to stand up, but found that his legs were too weak to move.
He's been acupunctured!
How could that be!
Not to mention him, even his master, the divine physician Cai, didn't know acupressure techniques. How could a little girl like her possibly know them!
He doesn't believe it!
"What did you do to me?" Ma Yun'an was absolutely certain that the young girl in front of him was responsible. "I advise you to let me go. If you want to practice medicine in Yanyang, our Jirentang is not something a little girl like you can offend."
Ma Yun'an saw that Su Ruojin had a medical license and was here today, so she was most likely going to practice medicine in Yanyang.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, male and female doctors were treated equally. In fact, because there were not many girls studying medicine, female doctors were much more sought after than male doctors.
But regardless of gender, anyone who wants to make a living as a doctor in Yanyang City must not offend Jirentang.
Everyone knows that Jirentang is the clinic of Doctor Cai. Doctor Cai has made friends with many high-ranking officials and nobles because of his medical skills. Offending him is equivalent to offending those high-ranking officials and nobles.
An older woman said to Su Ruojin with some concern, "Young lady, why don't you just let it go and not offend Jirentang?"
"Yes, young lady, forget it, it's not worth it." After the old woman spoke up, others joined in to comfort her.
Su Ruojin looked at everyone and said, "It's alright."
She slowly approached Ma Yun'an and looked down at him, saying, "A doctor should take pride in healing the sick and treating all patients equally, regardless of their wealth or social status. As a doctor, you not only refused to save someone in distress, but you also failed to perform the most basic diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation before drawing conclusions. When you saw others being treated, you came out to slander them. How can you be worthy of being a doctor? Today, you will kneel here properly and get up when you have figured things out. Consider this me teaching you a lesson on behalf of your master, you unfilial disciple."
"Let me go right now, or I'll report you to the authorities and you'll be in big trouble!" Ma Yun'an glared fiercely at Su Ruojin. He secretly tried to release her pressure points, but to no avail.
Su Ruojin chuckled softly, then turned to look at everyone: "Did anyone see me make Doctor Ma kneel down? He clearly accepted his bet and knelt down himself, right?"
The pill that Su Ruojin flicked out had long since rolled away to who knows where, and besides, who would believe that a young girl like her could use a pill as a hidden weapon?
Even if it is found, if a doctor accidentally drops a pill, who can say anything?
The people around him had long disapproved of Ma Yun'an's behavior, and it was even less likely that they would stand by his side now.
Tie Zhu slowly helped his grandfather, who had just woken up, to his feet and spoke first: "Yes, we only saw Doctor Ma kneeling down himself. What does it have to do with that young girl?"
Yes, that's it.
