Indeed, the War Prince holds power over the world, possessing countless gold and silver treasures. As the saying goes, he has whatever he desires, and the dicine he uses is naturally very precious.
After Zi Xia recovered, that very evening, she took two bags of herbs and went with Xuexue to the Hundred Herbs Cottage to settle accounts with Divine Doctor Cheng.
On the street, Zi Xia pointed to a dical Hall and said to Xuexue, "Young lady, it’s right here."
Xuexue looked up and saw a couplet posted at the gate: "I wish for a world without sickness, even if the dicine gathers dust on the shelves," with the horizontal inscription: "Peace in the World."
She sneered coldly and said, "Pretending to be noble, when in fact, it’s a Quack Doctor pretending to be sophisticated."
"Exactly, that doctor reeks of the stench of money."
Zi Xia recalled how the previous evening Divine Doctor Cheng charged her one hundred and twenty taels of silver for the dicine, which infuriated her. Although the woman later returned the money to her, the conversation between the father and daughter clearly proved that Divine Doctor Cheng was not a good person. Charging so much for a consultation—wasn’t that extortion? How could ordinary people afford to seek dical help? Wasn’t it just leaving people sick without money for treatnt?
Indeed, one hundred and twenty taels of silver is an astronomical amount in the eyes of regular people, a fortune they might never earn in a lifeti.
And that the Hundred Herbs Cottage charges such exorbitant fees for dicine—how dare the common folk enter a dical Hall for treatnt?
"Co on, let’s go take a look inside." Xuexue took the lead and stepped inside.
Zi Xia followed closely behind her.
Inside the Hundred Herbs Cottage.
Divine Doctor Cheng was attending to a woman who looked sickly and listless.
The woman clutched her stomach painfully and asked, "Doctor, I don’t know what I’ve eaten today, but I keep feeling nauseous and unable to vomit. Do I have so strange illness?"
Divine Doctor Cheng placed his hand on her wrist, listened carefully, and said, "You have a stomach ailnt. I’ll prescribe you so dicine to take ho and with proper care, it will be fine."
Just as Divine Doctor Cheng finished speaking, a woman’s cold voice ca from the side: "What a Quack Doctor, pretending to know what he doesn’t. How dare he open a dical Hall? Isn’t he afraid of killing soone?"
Upon hearing this, Divine Doctor Cheng looked up...
At so point, two girls had entered the room. Judging from their attire, they were wealthy, and one of them was the girl who ca for treatnt the previous night.
"You, young lady, are being unreasonable. I’ve run this dical Hall for over ten years, and no one has ever questioned my dical skill. The local people respectfully call Divine Doctor. You, a little girl, dare to slander ." This unfamiliar girl accused him the mont she entered, and Divine Doctor Cheng was indignant.
Xuexue sneered, "Divine Doctor? Don’t sully this sacred title."
Divine Doctor Cheng: "Young lady! What have I done to offend you?"
Hearing this, Zi Xia stepped forward, stood tall, and said, "It’s ."
"You?"
"That’s right."
"Young lady, aren’t you being a bit unethical? Yesterday I treated you without charging for the dicine, and even gave you two doses for free. Yet you co here causing trouble?" Divine Doctor Cheng was so furious his whole body trembled. He turned to the woman and said, "See, here I am saving lives, even at the cost of dicine, yet I still have to bear infamy. How hard it is to be a good person in this world!"
The woman nodded imdiately and turned to Xuexue, saying, "Young lady, show rcy when possible. Moreover, the Divine Doctor has done nothing against you."
Before Xuexue could speak, Zi Xia imdiately cried out, "How could he not have? Last night I almost lost my life from the dicine he gave ."
