Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Why Can’t People Stand To See Others Doing Well? Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Why Can’t People Stand To See Others Doing Well? Seeing that they had finally calmed down, Old Man Zeng seized the moment to ask.
As expected, after being both coaxed and threatened by them, those people finally recognized their own status and that of Lin Caisang. They could only obediently line up, waiting for Yulang to ask them for their names and what medicine they wanted to take.
“Alright, I’ve registered everyone’s information.”
Half an hour later, Yulang put down his pen and ink, as everyone waited patiently without leaving.
“Also, the young lady doctor has mentioned that the medicines she sells are of supreme purity and quality. The prices, in comparison to ordinary pharmacies, are unmatched. It would be best for you to inform your household masters before the young lady doctor arrives.”
“Or perhaps, anyone who wishes to bring their ill family member over here so that the lady doctor can examine them personally, provide a diagnosis, and then give medicine, is also welcome.”
After these words, Yulang felt as if a gust of wind had swept past him. He slightly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, those people had vanished without a trace, as if they had taken flight.
“Yulang, when did the lady doctor ever say that?”
When everyone left, Old Man Zeng furrowed his brows at his son and asked.
Is his own son trying to trip up the lady doctor? If so many people were to bring their sick family members over, wouldn’t the lady doctor be worked to death? Wouldn’t they be repaying kindness with enmity?
“Father, you don’t understand anything.”
Yulang glanced at his father and smirked.
“What don’t I understand, explain it to me.” Old Man Zeng asked.
Though he did not understand, as long as his son could explain it clearly, he would get it. This way, he could avoid causing further trouble for the lady doctor and his son.
“Last time, didn’t you quarrel with me, saying that you hadn’t spoken about the lady doctor’s involvement with the imperial decree to outsiders?” Yulang looked around the alley, saw no one, and then spoke in a hushed tone to his father.
Old Man Zeng glared at his son, annoyed.
The thought of it infuriated him. His own son didn’t trust him. He had really failed as a father. Even thinking about it could make him die of anger.
“That’s the imperial decree, the affairs of the imperial family. Can we common folk discuss it?”
He was happy that his son’s face had recovered, but he also knew what could be spoken aloud and what couldn’t. Wouldn’t discussing the imperial family court danger and head toward the guillotine?
“I suspect that someone doesn’t want to see the lady doctor doing well and is deliberately using our names to cause trouble for her.” Yulang suggested.
The shock for Old Man Zeng was substantial.
“These people… they really have the nerve. The lady doctor has only been in Jianan City for a short time and has been busy treating the Elder Princess, she has no time to offend others. Why can’t those wicked people tolerate others doing well?”
Thinking about it made him furious.
“What’s there to be surprised about? If we were a bit better off, our neighbors would still throw sour remarks. Let alone those people.” Yulang said.
“What about those people just now…”
Old Man Zeng pointed at the now-empty alley, feeling somewhat confused.
The things his son could think of, surely this intelligent lady doctor would have considered. Those people harbored unknown malicious intentions. How could she say she would save them without any precaution?
“That’s why I told them to bring their sick people over here. Let’s allow the lady doctor to scrutinize them herself and not be swindled by them.” Yulang explained.
