The woman held the child tightly and murmured, "It's cold outside, and I'm afraid the child will get cold. Once I bring the child inside, I will naturally hand the child over to you."
At this point, some people also realized that something was wrong.
"How can this woman be like this? The doctor wanted to hold the child, but she wouldn't let him. How is the doctor supposed to treat the child?"
"Madam, quickly give the child to the doctor!"
"I feel like there's something strange about her."
"Is the mother worrying too much about the child?"
......
The woman started to sweat, but she still insisted, "Doctor, please let me and my child into the examination room. I'll give the child to you as soon as I get in."
Su Ruojin sneered, too lazy to continue the charade with the woman: "If I'm not mistaken, what you're holding is a dead child!"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the ground and wailed, "How could you be so vicious, young lady? How can someone like you be a doctor? Everyone, please judge this! The doctor at Ren'aitang Hospital is heartless and won't treat my child. He even cursed him to die! Waaah, my poor child, without you, I can't live anymore."
"Yanluo, go and bring her child here! We'll see what's going on in front of everyone. If we've wronged you, Ren'ai Hall will compensate us with one thousand taels of silver," Su Ruojin said.
"Don't come any closer! I'm not going to get treatment at your shady clinic anymore!" The woman panicked, protecting her child and preventing Yanluo from holding her.
Yanluo didn't care about any of that. She snatched the child away and, in front of everyone, opened the cloth covering the child.
Inside was an infant with a bluish-purple face, white lips, and no longer breathing.
"Wow, what a stillborn baby."
"Could it have just died?"
Why would she bring a stillborn baby to seek medical help?
"Maybe the child died and the mother went crazy with worry."
......
"Ah, my child, my child! What happened to you? My child! You've killed my child! Everyone, come quick! Ren'ai Hall has killed my child!" The woman's voice grew louder and louder, and the crowd outside the clinic completely blocked the entrance.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When I brought your child over, the child was already dead!" Yanluo had never encountered such a shameless woman before, and she was so angry that she kept cursing.
At this moment, Yanluo understood why the young lady insisted on having this woman wake the child.
If the woman had actually brought the child into the examination room, she could have insisted that Ren'ai Hospital had killed the child. But there were only the woman and the patient in the examination room, no bystanders. In that case, she would have been unable to explain herself.
The swaddling clothes have been opened in front of everyone, and everyone has seen the child's condition. Don't try to blame it on Ren'ai Hall anymore.
"Yanluo, report to the authorities that someone is trying to extort money from our Ren'ai Hall by bringing a dead infant," Su Ruojin said coldly. "You, as a mother, are clean and white except for your hands, which are a little dirty. Although the fabric of your clothes is not good, they are still clean. But the baby's swaddle blanket is torn, old, and dirty. What mother would do that?"
After Su Ruojin's reminder, everyone realized what was going on and, upon closer inspection of the woman, felt that something was amiss.
"She was even wearing rouge."
“She looks familiar to me. She seems to be Mrs. Lü from the next village, but her child is already seven or eight years old. Where did this baby come from?”
"So, they're really trying to scam us?"
"This child looks like he just died recently. Could she have killed him?"
"We'll know once the government coroner comes and examines it."
......
When the woman heard that Su Ruojin was going to report to the authorities, her face changed drastically. She snatched the child from Yan Luo's arms and said, "Fine, I won't see him anymore!" She turned to leave the clinic.
"Yanluo, stop her and take her to the authorities."
"Yes, Miss!" Yanluo gestured to the servant to stop the woman and drag her to the authorities.
Lady Lü knelt down with a thud: "Doctor Su, please spare my life! I was just momentarily bewitched. I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."
"Where did the child come from?" Su Ruojin asked.
