Chapter 235 I Will Marry No One Else
The noblewoman's face turned pale and then flushed.
She gave up, knowing that the more she talked, the more she would be criticized and humiliated, so she retreated, seething with anger.
The others dared not speak again; Lu Qingqing's fighting power was too strong, and her sharpness was too overwhelming.
It seemed that whenever someone approached, she would start spitting fire.
The woman selling herbal tea got up and said angrily, "Help me if you want, but everyone knows what kind of person you are now, no one will come to you for treatment anymore!"
Lu Qingqing clapped her hands twice.
"good!!!"
"Not coming to me for medical treatment? Great! Remember my name: Lu—Qing—Qing!"
Lu—Qing—Qing.
Her voice was loud and carried far.
"I, Lu Qingqing, can cure the rich and powerful, the common people, the beggars and prostitutes, but I cannot cure those with evil intentions!"
Some people shouldn't flatter themselves. Remember this: no matter how much money a person with ill intentions offers, this young lady will not cure them!
Si Xi suddenly jumped out.
Wearing a brand-new gray-blue top and trousers, a small cloth bag slung over her shoulder, and her short hair tied back with a blue hairband, she followed closely behind with her head held high and chest out.
"I, Lu Sixi, am the eldest apprentice of Doctor Lu Qingqing. I will follow my master's teachings and not treat those with evil intentions."
After saying that, he gestured with his chin toward Dr. Pang.
Dr. Pang stroked his beard as he walked over.
"I, Pang Wen, should be known by everyone. I am the second apprentice of Doctor Lu Qingqing. I also strictly follow my master's orders to treat the wealthy and powerful, the common people, the beggars and prostitutes, but not those with evil intentions."
What?
Dr. Pang!
Second apprentice?
You must have misheard!
A commotion erupted around them.
"Dr. Pang, what did you just say?" The noblewoman who had just hidden in the back came forward again and asked in surprise.
With a calm expression, Dr. Pang bowed to Lu Qingqing and said, "Lu Qingqing is my mentor, and I will listen to her without question. From now on, I will continue to entertain the girls in the building as usual. Since Madam Ji is so fastidious, my Shanshitang is too dirty to entertain her anymore."
Many years ago, he still had a pure heart and couldn't bear to refuse the girls in the building. However, after receiving them a few times, he was rumored to be sordid, which almost led to the closure of the clinic.
Later, when a girl begged him, he would specify a place and secretly go to see it several times.
They are clearly treating and saving lives, yet they do it secretly.
Later, as his fame grew, he began to cherish his reputation and never again made house calls for prostitutes.
At some point, he had forgotten the person he once was who revered the benevolence of doctors.
Dr. Pang was truly stunned by Lu Qingqing.
He felt admiration and shame, but it also stirred up the grand ambitions he had made in his youth.
Lu Qingqing dared to defy societal norms for two reasons: first, she was confident in her superb medical skills; and second, of course...
Physician Pang glanced at the young master who had been watching them intently.
Even though she has someone backing her up, she is still a young woman.
She doesn't care about her reputation at all!
Dr. Pang admired Lu Qingqing's great courage!
So what is he afraid of? He wants to follow his master and change this world!
"How is this possible? How could this be..." The noblewoman's face turned pale, unable to believe it.
No one could believe it.
Physician Pang is the best doctor in Ming'an County. How could he possibly become a disciple of a little girl? It's utterly ridiculous!
The male doctor, whose face was swollen, spoke as if his mouth was stuffed with rotten sweet potatoes: "I don't believe it... It's this woman who has power, Dr. Pang, you have no backbone."
The herbal tea lady exclaimed again, "Yes, who would believe that! They must be afraid of the magistrate..."
"The magistrate is here!" a loud shout rang out.
Everyone made way for them.
Magistrate Xu, dressed in a green official robe, walked with a stern, serious expression, and imposing presence.
The masked young master accompanying him was even more outstanding, with a white robe and a gold-trimmed belt, exuding a noble air unlike that of an ordinary person.
Behind them stood a line of tall, imposing guards, their solemnity forbidding any disrespect.
Many people had already knelt down.
"My lord... please do justice for me!" the male doctor cried out, kneeling on the ground.
Magistrate Xu shouted, "Insolence! I heard everything clearly!"
"You're humiliating patients in front of the Yellow Emperor's Temple; you're utterly disgracing the medical profession!"
The male doctor was so frightened that he squatted down on the ground.
Magistrate Xu continued, "Do you know who Doctor Lu is?"
She is a highly skilled and miraculous doctor!
When floods inundated villages, she went to provide disaster relief and treated a total of 338 people!
How can you ignorant doctors compare to her achievements? Even if you all put them together, you still can't match hers!
Furthermore, she also suggested intercropping medicinal herbs in the fields. Now that the grain has been flooded and the yield has plummeted, the entire supply relies on medicinal herbs.
She was also in charge of collecting medicines throughout the county!
"Didn't all the doctors present notice that the quality of the medicinal herbs they've recently received is much better than before?"
The doctors in the room stared in astonishment.
Yes, the medicinal herbs they use now are all sourced from the herbal medicine shops in the city; they are of good quality and reasonably priced.
So it turned out to be Lu Qingqing?
She actually controls all the medicinal herbs in the city!
"Hmph! The government-invited divine physician is being insulted by you quacks and shrewish women! What is your punishment?!"
The herbal tea vendor, all the other vendors, and the onlookers all knelt down, frantically begging for forgiveness.
They really didn't know!
Lu Qingqing looked at the quiet Ji Ruyan, not expecting him to have the magistrate announce these things at this time.
That's really true...
Cool!
Starting today, her name, Lu Qingqing, will gradually become known to everyone.
No one dared to question the magistrate's own words about a miracle doctor.
Lu Qingqing addressed the prostrate pomegranate on the ground, saying loudly, "Miss Pomegranate, did you hear that? You can come to me for treatment and medicine tomorrow."
"It's foolish not to get treatment when you're sick."
"Yes... thank you, miracle doctor."
Red Pomegranate slightly raised her head, her veil covered in watermarks and mud.
Indeed, it is... a Bodhisattva.
She is saved.
The women in the building are saved.
No more getting burned.
Lu Qingqing nodded. Just by looking at how Hong Shiliu hadn't sat down on the stool, she knew that she was a kind person.
Magistrate Xu reprimanded them a few more times, strictly ordering some doctors to go home and reflect on their actions, and not to use the free clinic as an excuse to seek fame and fortune.
Then I left.
The free clinic continues.
This time, a queue also formed in front of Lu Qingqing's desk.
Gu Chengzhou sighed and said regretfully, "Young master, it seems you don't have time to stroll around with Miss Lu."
"So what?" Ji Ruyan smiled slightly.
Sharing a corner together is enough.
"Prepare the cinnabar and dew and place them on the table next to Miss Lu. I need to give the child some."
Brilliant!
Young master, you are clever!
Gu Chengzhou immediately found cinnabar and dew, which Ji Ruyan carried over.
As they approached, they overheard Sixi gossiping with Lu Qingqing:
"The Prime Minister's daughter and the former Crown Prince are deeply in love, have made vows of eternal love, and vow to marry no one but him. I've heard..."
