Chapter 290: Kneeling Wrong
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong understood. So she was not the only one who had been offended by Renxin Medical Hall, right?
She glanced at Yu Youwei. “Is it me just because he said so? Where’s the evidence? You also said that he has a personal grudge against me. I’m afraid he’s taking this opportunity to frame me.”
“Bullshit. I’m telling the truth.”
The constable said expressionlessly, “Whether it’s true or not, the prefecture magistrate will find out. There’s no need for the two of you to argue here. If there’s anything, you can talk it out at the government office.”
Gu Yundong had seen quite a few constables, but this was the first time she had seen someone so… impartial.
It seemed like there was no need to set off today. She would just make a trip to the government office.
She held Madam Yang’s hand and comforted her softly.
Only then did the constable look back at her.
As soon as they left, the crowd who had joined in the fun also followed behind, wanting to see what was going on.
Gu Yundong realized that she was really fated with the government office. Whenever she went to a prefectural city, she would have to deal with the government office there.
Although she had never seen the prefecture magistrate of Xuanhe Prefecture, he took care of her on account of Nie Cong.
She had never seen the prefecture magistrate of Qing’an Prefecture either, but it could be seen that he was a very smart person to set up an ambush to capture a small thief.
Now that she was finally going to meet the prefecture magistrate, she suddenly felt a little excited.
However, this excitement disappeared when she was about to kneel.
Damn it, it was better not to see him.
In order not to let Madam Yang suffer, Gu Yundong simply let her stand outside and listen to the trial.
Coincidentally, the auntie who had given them water yesterday was also there, so Gu Yundong asked her to help take care of her mother.
Then, she walked in and knelt on the ground unwillingly. The iron-faced constable wanted to remind her that the way she knelt was wrong, but he saw the prefecture magistrate come out.
The prefecture magistrate raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything, so the constable shut his mouth.
As soon as Yu Youwei saw him, he shouted, “Sir, you have to uphold justice for me. I…”
“Shut up. How can you make a ruckus in court?”
Yu Youwei’s voice stopped abruptly. He looked with a trembling expression at the private advisor who spoke.
Gu Yundong pursed her lips and wanted to laugh. She looked at the prefecture magistrate and saw him sitting lazily on a chair.
No wonder he didn’t care that her kneeling posture was wrong. It turned out that he didn’t sit properly either.
The prefecture magistrate didn’t say anything either. He just glanced at the private advisor beside him.
The private advisor coughed lightly. “Alright, you. Tell me the cause and effect of the matter.”
“Yes, my lord.” Yu Youwei wiped his tears and began to speak. “I’m a doctor from Renxin Medical Hall. When I went out yesterday, I saw this girl and recognized that her mother was a patient who had been treated in my medical hall before…”
“What are you crying for? I can’t even hear you. Speak clearly,” the private advisor interrupted him impatiently.
Yu Youwei shrunk his neck. No wonder they said not to come into the government office unless something happened. It was too scary.
He could only take a deep breath. Although he was still pitiful, he did not dare to sob anymore. “I was kind enough to ask about her mother’s condition. I didn’t expect her to turn around and slander me. She said that I was a quack, and that not only did I not cure her mother’s illness, but I also almost killed her mother. Heaven and earth, I’ve been a doctor in Yongning Prefecture for twenty years. Everyone has seen it. How could I harm her mother? I…”
“Slow down. Can’t you see that I’m recording?” The private advisor interrupted him again impatiently.
Yu Youwei wanted to cry. The people in the government office were too difficult to serve.
He paused for a moment and could only say slowly, “I just rebutted. Who knew that she would hit me? I couldn’t bully her. The mother and daughter might as well go back first. I didn’t expect the medical center to catch fire at night. She must have gotten someone to do it..”
