"Is Yan Gang willing?"
Yun Hao shook his head. "Of course he was unwilling, but for the safety of his wife and children, he had no choice but to compromise. He couldn't even let Princess Anxing know that he already had a wife back in his hometown. I promised Yan Gang that one day I would definitely help him reunite with his wife and children."
When Su Ruojin first met Yan Gang, she thought he was a heartless man who abandoned his wife, but she never expected him to have such a difficult situation.
Therefore, she was even less able to tell Qinniang about Yan Gang's situation.
This is Yuncheng. If Princess Anxing were to discover the existence of Qinniang and her two children, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Miss, we've arrived." Yanluo's voice interrupted Su Ruojin's thoughts.
The carriage stopped in front of the Zhao residence. Su Ruojin thought for a moment but didn't get out. She said, "Go to He'an Hall."
Zhou Lei's matter cannot be left unresolved.
The carriage stopped not far from He'an Hall. The driver turned to Su Ruojin and said, "Miss, there are a lot of people gathered at He'an Hall. The carriage can't get through."
"It's alright, let's get off here." Su Ruojin didn't mind and got off the carriage with Yan Luo.
Looking around, one could see that quite a few people had gathered at the entrance of He'an Hall. Yan Luo exclaimed, "It truly lives up to its reputation as the number one medical institution in Yuncheng. There are so many people here seeking treatment."
As the two approached, they discovered that the people there were not there to seek medical treatment, but rather a coffin parked at the entrance of He'an Hall. A group of people dressed in mourning clothes were crying and demanding an explanation from He'an Hall, surrounded by onlookers.
A man nearing thirty cried out, "What kind of doctor is Dr. Zhou? He's a complete fraud. My father recently suffered from dizziness, blurred vision, and difficulty speaking clearly, so we came here specifically to see Dr. Zhou."
He charged us three hundred taels for the consultation, saying my father suffered from deficiency of both qi and blood, and malnourishment of the brain's blood vessels. His prescriptions consisted mainly of deer antler, ginseng, and lingzhi mushrooms, and he confidently assured us that after taking these prescriptions for a month, he would be completely cured.
"To treat my father's illness, our whole family sold everything we owned to raise money for medicine. But after taking the medicine for a month, he passed away. You all should be the judge. We spent nearly a thousand taels of silver, leaving us penniless, and my father didn't even last a month. What kind of quack doctor is he? Come out and give us an explanation."
"Yes, give us an explanation," echoed the man who had come with him.
The manager of He'an Hall had already come out to deal with the situation. Seeing the group of people coming on menacingly, he was not in a hurry, and his eyes were full of mockery.
This isn't the first batch of patients to cause trouble at Antang. Given the relationship between my master and Lord Zhang, we're not afraid even if they cause trouble at the government office. In the end, it's only these troublemakers who will suffer.
With my master's abilities, how could he possibly make a wrong diagnosis? These are just a bunch of troublemakers trying to extort money.
The shopkeeper shouted, "Nonsense! Doctor Zhou has practiced medicine in Yuncheng for many years, curing countless patients from royalty to ordinary people. He has never made a mistake. If someone dies in your house, who knows what the cause is? Don't try to pin it on Doctor Zhou. I think you're trying to extort money from us!"
"An Tang and I are only letting this go today because we are grieving the loss of your loved ones. Leave quickly. If you dare to cause any more trouble, we will have no choice but to report you to the authorities."
"Shopkeeper, you have to have a conscience. My father returned from He'an Hall, and apart from regular meals, he only took the medicine prescribed by you. We didn't even dare let him get out of bed. He suddenly passed away after drinking your medicine. Can you say it has nothing to do with He'an Hall?" A woman, who appeared to be the man's wife, also cried.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you don't leave, I'll have no choice but to report you to the authorities."
“I’ll report it to the authorities then. If it really is due to my father’s health, I’ll accept the punishment.” The man glared at the shopkeeper.
