The wife of the Duke of Xu's son was so shocked by Mrs. Du's thrusts that her face turned pale and blue. It was particularly exciting. "You, you guys..."
Wei Tingyu at the side slowly pulled the blanket on his legs, "Madam, today is the wedding of the fourth son of the Wen family. The fourth daughter has just returned home, but she has a very close relationship with her twin brothers. She should be at home now, happily watching her brother welcome the new bride into the house. Although she has been learning medicine since she was young, she is different from ordinary doctors now. She can just sit back and watch and go home directly. Who can blame her for anything? Others may not even know she passed by.
But she got off the carriage and saved people without hesitation. Whether it was an accident or other reasons, you also saw that your carriage, including the five people including the driver, except for a maid who was a little lucky, the others were not optimistic, especially this person who hit his head and could easily die. Let me ask you, if you meet other doctors, who dares to intervene easily? Even if they are from the Imperial Hospital, as long as they don't reveal their identities, I'm afraid they will slip away quietly, right
If I hadn't heard of the Fourth Miss, you guys in Duke Xu's Mansion might be holding a funeral right now."
Wei Tingyu didn't speak harshly. The first part was fine, he presented facts and made sense. But the last sentence was so hurtful that it was like a blatant curse.
Wei Tingyu didn't care how ugly the wife of Duke Xu's son looked. He shifted his gaze to Xiaocao. The indifferent and cold look disappeared, and he stared at her intently. "I don't say that she is compassionate and cares about the people. After all, she is just one person with limited abilities. She doesn't have such lofty ambitions. She just tried her best and had a clear conscience. Whenever she encountered a situation like today, she would only decide based on the severity and urgency, not on the status of the person. So there are some things that I hope Madam won't say anymore.
When she meets patients, she always puts the patients first, provided that the patients and their families cooperate with her unconditionally. They just have to do whatever she says. Otherwise, she might get in a bad temper.
Just as the fourth girl said, you either stay quietly or take your people away now.
You took the people away, which saved us time. If we go back now, we can still catch the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony."
The wife of the prince of Duke Xu was repeatedly bullied. She hadn't encountered such a thing in many years. She was choked with anger, unable to speak or swallow. She really didn't think she said anything wrong. Even if she had great medical skills, she was just a female doctor. Why was she so arrogant? She had saved several people before, and the incident in the palace. Didn't she get enough benefits? He took the things, but now he was showing off in front of her, talking like a saint. What a joke!
The wife of the Duke of Xu became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. "In that case, then I won't bother you. Come, take the girl away. As for the others, haha," the wife of the Duke of Xu sneered, "since they value her so much, just leave her to them."
The wife of the Prince of Duke Xu looked back at the silver needle still stuck in her daughter's body, walked straight forward, pulled it out and threw it on the ground.
That gesture made people angry, but Wei Tingyu raised his hand and prevented them from making any move.
—It’s easy to leave, but it’s not easy to come back for medical treatment.
Wei Tingyu smiled silently, his eyes were cold.
Despite such a big commotion, Xiaocao didn't even raise her head. If the wife of Duke Xu's son wanted to take the servants away with her, she would probably move aside without hesitation. But since she was staying, she couldn't just ignore it.
When the wife of the Duke of Xu walked to the door, she had a look of hatred and annoyance on her face, "I just hope that in the future..."
The threat contained in this unfinished statement is too obvious, however, no one takes it seriously. Not to mention that Duke Xu's Mansion is actually as declining as Marquis Pingyang's Mansion, it just has more people and a few promising ones, so they can at least support the family. Even in its heyday, Wei Tingyu would not have the slightest fear. What's more, there are always more people with clear minds in this world.
-Although it is very common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak, a smart person or a magnanimous person will not do such a thing. "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west." Many times, it doesn't take that long. What's more, if you make friends with someone who won't suffer any loss, why do you have to look down on him
It was the maid who was slightly injured who was at a loss. There were several people in the clinic, not counting the coachman and the mother, who was like their elder. They had a very good relationship with each other, but they all came back from the Xu family's ancestral land with the girl. They were all looked down upon to some extent. The prince's wife originally wanted to demote them and arrange other staff for the girl, but the girl tried her best to protect them, which made the prince's wife somewhat unhappy, so now she simply abandoned them all
Being in their position, they are naturally grateful to the people who saved them. If possible, who would want to be born with a lowly life? What the Crown Prince's wife said was really chilling, but what could they do
She was very dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's wife taking the girl away like this, and she always had a bad feeling about it.
Feeling caught in a dilemma, seeing that the wife of Duke Xu and her entourage were about to disappear outside the clinic, the maid squatted towards Xiaocao and hurriedly chased after them. The girl was a very good person and had always treated them very well. How could anyone feel at ease with her current condition
This is an ordinary medical clinic, so there are quite a few ordinary people coming to watch the fun. Although there are not many people inside the clinic, some of those who were originally inside left after seeing the previous scene.
Everything that happened happened right under their noses. Due to their social class differences, they didn't dare to discuss anything openly, but they did whisper in each other's ears. Of course, it was nothing more than what kind of people they were.
Xiaocao finished the task at hand, prescribed medicine for several people, and they drank it and stabilized the situation.
The passerby who was implicated was not from a poor family and had money to buy medicine. What's more, the medicine prescribed by Xiaocao was not expensive, so he could afford it. Even though he suffered an unexpected disaster, he was happy to pay.
"It's still unclear how the incident happened, but no matter if it was an accident or some other reason, the culprit should make compensation. Don't worry, so don't skimp on the medicine you should take, and don't try to be stubborn when you need to rest. Only when your body is well, even if you suffer some losses now, you can make up for it in the future."
"Don't worry, young lady. Our family is not at that stage yet. We will definitely take good care of him."
Xiaocao nodded, reminded them of some things, and then let them leave.
The three remaining servants of Duke Xu Anguo's mansion may have to stay in the clinic temporarily. As long as they pay money, there is no reason for the clinic to refuse them. For Xiaocao now, this amount of money must be a drizzle, so there is no need to worry about it.
As for what to do next, that is a matter for the future. The final result can be nothing more than two options. First, if Duke Xu's Mansion really doesn't need anyone, Xiaocao can naturally accept him. It's just a matter of hiring three more servants, and they will be treated the same as the original servants of the Wenren Family. Second, Duke Xu's Mansion will just take the person back, and Xiaocao will be responsible for collecting the medical fee. The wife of Duke Xu's son has already said some things, so just fulfill her wish.
During Xiaocao's treatment, the doctors in the clinic, including the two apprentices, tried to "steal" her knowledge. Xiaocao naturally didn't care. She didn't mind if they learned more than she could. She couldn't stay in the clinic, so they would have to do the rest. As for how to deal with some minor problems, Xiaocao naturally told them in great detail, which was undoubtedly helpful to them.
At the end, "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be basically no problem. I will come again tomorrow. If you really encounter a difficult problem, go to the Wen family to find me. It doesn't matter what time it is. The Wen family should know, right? It's not far from here."
The other party nodded hurriedly, "I know."
Xiao Cao nodded, "That's how it is, I'll trouble you tonight."
"No, no, it's just my duty. The young lady has taught us a lot. Besides, these people have nothing to do with the young lady. The young lady has a kind heart and is admirable."
I don’t know if Xiaocao can do this.
When we finally left the clinic, it was already dark outside and the Wen family's banquet was halfway through.
Xiaocao looked at the sky and sighed helplessly. After all, he missed it.
"Xuan'er..." Wei Tingyu held her hand and gently stroked her wrist as if to comfort her.
Xiao Cao smiled and said, "I'm fine. I can go back to the bridal chamber and take care of the bride now. But Tingyu, you should go back to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion directly. It's getting late now, so don't rush back and forth."
Wei Tingyu also laughed, "I wanted to pretend to be pitiful and stay at your house tonight, but Xuan'er is trying to chase me away now? That's not okay."
Xiao Cao's eyes moved slightly. She often went to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, but it was not easy to stay overnight. Tonight, she could let Ting Yu stay openly. As for whether to sleep in the guest room or in her room, she had to be careful so that outsiders would not know. "Okay."
Although there were no outsiders around now, Du still felt a little upset when the two of them were so intimate as if no one was around. She sighed that it was great to be young. At the same time, she felt a little envious. She didn't have this feeling even when she and Wenren Zhongyong had the best relationship.
Mrs. Du coughed and said, "It's okay in front of our family, but if you two are outside, you still need to be careful."
Xiao Cao didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, we know what's going on."
Du was helpless as her own child was "shameless". She waved her hand and said, "You two can get into a carriage and stick together. I won't be an eyesore." Then she walked straight towards the carriage.
The carriage that Wei Tingyu rode in was from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. For his convenience, the carriage was slightly different from ordinary carriages.
On the way back, nothing extra happened and there were basically no people on the streets.
Pingchang then remembered to ask about the cause of today's accident, "... I didn't see you leave, and no one else came to the clinic. Did Tingyu send someone to deal with this matter?"
"I have ordered people to cooperate with the Kaiping Prefecture to investigate. The reason is not complicated. It is just that a family was chasing a 'runaway slave'. The runaway slave was in a panic and didn't notice it. He knocked someone over, which led to serious consequences. The runaway slave ran away again on the spot. The people chasing him also hid when they saw that the situation was not good. However, the person who should be caught has been caught, and the owner must also pay the compensation. As for how to explain to the Xuguo Mansion, that is their own business. But..."
"What?"
"It's a bit strange that the girl from Duke Xu appeared here. As far as I know, there is no family close to Duke Xu's mansion in this area. The girl just returned to the imperial city not long ago, and she is still figuring out the situation of Duke Xu's mansion. Naturally, there is no girl who is close to her in this area. There is no big market here, and there is no girl like her who needs to buy things, so her appearance is bound to make people confused."
That being said, it is true, "Who knows, she is just a little girl, and if there is a reason, it is probably not a big deal."
Wei Tingyu agreed with this point. He also had the information about Duke Xu's Mansion in his hands. It was just him who was in chaos. Duke Xu's Mansion was old and no longer had any ambitions.
"Xuan'er, what about that girl? How is she?" Regarding this, Wei Tingyu was just secretly "curious".
"Maybe I will find it back." Xiaocao said indifferently.
Wei Tingyu thought to himself: As expected.
