Chapter 426: Slaughtering Yu Wanqing
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei wore an impatient expression on her face and said coldly, âI can be honest with you. With Princess Pingâanâs injuries, I, Liu Shimei, can use the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation. Healing her is no problem at all. Whether I do it or not depends on you. Once I step out of this door, I wonât help even if you beg me.â
She turned to leave. âIâm busy!â
It was almost noon since she opened, and she had only dealt with one patient so far. She hadnât had the chance to showcase her medical skills to more patients, and now this clueless person had delayed her. It was not worth it! What else could Xiangâer do?
âTreat her! Eldest Young Miss Liu, our Princess Pingâan fainted here. Do you really want to wash your hands of this matter?â
Although Yu Wanqingâs injuries werenât completely healed, she looked fine to an outsider. If they took her back unconscious like this, even Xiangâer could not bear the responsibility.
Thinking back to the acupuncture technique that Liu Shimei had just displayed outside, Princess Pingâan refused to believe it was real due to her prejudice, but Xiangâer believed it.
There were hardly any female doctors in the Great Shu Dynasty who could come to the forefront. So, for injuries like Yu Wanqingâs, besides Liu Shimei, there was no one else who could administer acupuncture treatment!
Those imperial physicians could only diagnose pulses, prescribe medicines, and apply treatments.
âYouâre just a maidservant, do you have any say?â Moâer, seeing her Young Miss not speaking, naturally acted as one maid to another.
Xiangâer said, âThe expenses for Princess Pingâanâs outings are all managed by me. Itâs just a matter of treating an injury. How much money does it take?â
Moâer chuckled and reminded her, âDonât forget, thereâs also 300 taels of silver compensation for emotional damage!â
Xiangâer was speechless.
That had to be treated too?!
Afraid that Xiangâer might refuse payment after the treatment, Moâer urged Xiangâer to go to the shopkeeper and settle the silver.
Princess Pingâan, in her usual extravagant spending habits, often carried a thousand or two taels of silver when going out. She really could afford it.
After paying the silver, Liu Shimei instructed Moâer to close the door and began acupuncture treatment on Yu Wanqing.
Of course, there was no charge for the diagnosis, but the cost of acupuncture was going to be quite a hit to Yu Wanqingâs purse!
After successfully setting up the treatment, Madam Jiang, took the initiative, âIâll stay here and keep watch. Shimei, you go ahead and do your work!â
âThank you, Aunt Liu,â Liu Shimei smiled at Madam Jiang, then turned to the others, âTonight, weâre hosting a banquet at Immortal Guest Restaurant. Iâll be the host! You all go and enjoy the meal. I might be carrying the source of infection on me, so I canât accompany you. Weâll make it up another time.â âWhat are you talking about?â Madam Wang, the eldest lady of the Liang family, laughed, âGo on, do your work. Your uncles and brothers may be busy, but your aunts have some free time. We can have tea here just like at the teahouse. If thereâs anything you need help with, having your aunts around will be quite useful, wonât it?â
Liu Shimei felt that this extended family was really something!
These aunts could be just like mothers, and she really wanted to hug them!
But Liu Shimei had come into contact with leprosy patients today, so she didnât dare to actually hug anyone. After chatting with them for a few more minutes, she went into another room.
Liang Yi was playing with the short knife that she never let go of, leaning against the door frame in boredom. Inside the room were the patients and the two men who had brought the patient here.
Seeing Liu Shimei coming over with the Second Prince, who was tall and handsome, like a shadow, the corner of Liang Yiâs lips twitched.
He straightened up and said, âSister, Iâve asked. These two, one named Sanyuan and the other Sixi, are hired strongmen. They only know that someone paid them to bring this patient â oh, the patient lives in the south of the city and is called Aâfu. The person paid them, told San Yuan and Si Xi to bring the patient here, and then left. They donât know anything else.â
Liu Shimei exchanged a glance with him and concluded, âSo, someone intentionally sent bad luck to me on the day I opened Fusheng Pavilion. This patient is barely hanging on, and the chances of saving him are quite slim. If I canât cure him, there will be a death on the opening day, and this clinic wonât be able to continue operating in the future!â
Liang Yi asked, âDo you have any ideas, Sister?â
