Chapter 706: The Girl in Front
Editor: Henyee Translations
Doctor Liu’s expression changed drastically. He subconsciously reached out to hug the medicine basket.
In this way, everyone understood. Their expressions changed drastically and they glared at him angrily. They were so angry that their bodies were trembling.
“You shameless thing, you actually used this medicinal herb to deceive us. No wonder my grandson hasn’t recovered after coughing for two days. You heartless thing, you want to kill us.”
“This is treatment, you quack. If anyone’s illness is seriously delayed by you, you’ll be the murderer.”
“Bring him to the officials, Village Chief. This kind of black-hearted thing must be sent to the officials.”
“Yes, he must have tricked other villages too. I don’t know how many people around here have been persecuted by him.”
“Maybe the herbs he sells have already killed people.”
The more Doctor Liu listened, the paler his face became, and his hands and feet slowly turned cold.
He still wanted to defend himself, but facing the indignant villagers, he could not find any excuse.
Soon, a villager went forward to pull him and snatched the medicine basket from his arms.
“It’s evidence that he’s harming people.”
“Come, let’s go see the officials.”
Doctor Liu staggered a few steps from being pulled by a few people. Even his wrist was bleeding from a woman’s nails.
Hearing that the villagers insisted on sending him to the officials, the panic in Doctor Liu’s heart grew. Gradually, hatred spread, and he looked at Shao Qingyuan with resentment.
Shao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows. Doctor Liu suddenly broke free from the villagers’ grip.
Then, she quickly rushed towards Shao Qingyuan. “It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault. You had to interfere.”
Shao Qingyuan didn’t care about him at all. Seeing him rush forward, a figure suddenly blocked in front of him and pushed Doctor Liu away.
“You’re the one who plotted against us for money, yet you’re blaming others for exposing you. You’re simply shameless.”
A crisp voice sounded in the room, attracting everyone’s attention.
Including Gu Yundong, who was standing behind the window sill outside.
Gu Yundong smiled when she saw this woman bravely standing in front of Shao Qingyuan as if she wanted to protect him, but she was trembling and trying her best to suppress her fear.
She turned around and glanced at Xue Zongguang. “Who is she?”
Xue Zongguang felt that Miss Gu seemed to have seen through something and understood everything. His forehead could not help but break out in cold sweat. He laughed dryly and hurriedly said, “S-She’s my daughter. Her name is Xue Qin.”
After that, she explained, “This morning, I was a little worried that Master hadn’t returned to the manor, so I asked Qin’er to come over and see what had happened.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Zongguang wanted to slap himself. It would have been better if he hadn’t explained, but once he did, he felt like he was hiding something.
Gu Yundong replied with a meaningful “oh” and continued to look into the house.
Shao Qingyuan didn’t seem to be satisfied with this woman who suddenly stood in front of him. He frowned slightly and looked at Ah Zhu.
The latter touched his nose and said softly, “Young Master, this… Miss Xue was standing in front of me…”
He also wanted to stand in front of Young Master. Wasn’t it because his geographical location didn’t allow it? He let Xue Qin beat him to it.
Xue Qin’s back was facing them, so she naturally didn’t see their exchange of glances. She only glared at Doctor Liu, who had been pushed to the ground by her, and said, “Our young master is trying to seek justice from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t let you harm so many people, but you still bite back and say that my young master is nosy? Are we going to let a poisonous snake like you go around harming people?”
