At this mont, Divine Doctor Cheng ca over carrying two packages of dicine, and said to the woman: "Madam, take these two packages of dicine ho and brew them, after drinking, you’ll be fine."
Xuexue muttered under her breath: "When you’ve lost your life, of course everything’s fine!"
Although her voice was not loud, it rang clearly in everyone’s ears.
"Cough cough...!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Xia choked on her saliva, thinking to herself, Young Miss, is it really okay to say this in front of everyone? Even if it’s the truth, that’s too much of a blow, isn’t it?
Divine Doctor Cheng looked displeased, staring at Xuexue and said: "Girl, to forgive is divine; didn’t I explain everything very clearly just now? It was all the Little Kid’s mischievous doing, why do you have to press so hard?"
Xuexue replied coldly: "I am referring to this madam’s condition, I’m afraid she will end up dead after using these two sets of dicine."
He was rely treating so everyday ailnts for a rural woman, yet this young lady was aggressive. Divine Doctor Cheng naturally had an air of arrogance and, repeatedly challenged by Xuexue, could not help but erupt: "Girl, why don’t you tell why this madam would die after using my dicine?"
"How presumptuous of you to call yourself a Divine Doctor; she is clearly poisoned, yet you diagnose her with a stomach disease. It seems your title needs revising," Xuexue’s voice was filled with disdain.
"Poisoned?" Divine Doctor Cheng paused for a mont, then confidently said: "How could that be? If she was poisoned, I’ve been seeing patients for decades, how could I not notice?"
Actually, he was uncertain inside, having just been preoccupied with handling the dicinal herbs, he hastily treated the woman, thinking they were just rural folks with common ailnts, there shouldn’t be any major issues, so he didn’t pay much attention. Moreover, the woman was clutching her stomach complaining about pain, so he diagnosed it as a stomach disease.
Now, faced with Xuexue’s doubt and everyone watching him with suspicious eyes, Divine Doctor Cheng could not lose face, and was even less willing to admit his mistake.
The woman endured the pain, raised her head, and with great difficulty said to Divine Doctor Cheng: "Divine Doctor, since this young lady says I am not suffering from a stomach disease, but rather poisoned, it isn’t that I don’t trust you, it’s just because I have elderly and young ones at ho relying on ! If sothing happens to , they’ll have no road left except to die."
At this point, she paused, and pleaded painfully: "Divine Doctor, could you please carefully diagnose again?"
This woman was a widow; her husband had an accident and died early this year. At ho, she had aging in-laws, and several young children depending on her livelihood, she made ends et by doing so needlework.
Divine Doctor Cheng raised his head and said proudly: "Having practiced dicine in Xingyang City for so many years, by the grace of the citizens, I’ve earned the title of Divine Doctor. When have I ever made a mistake? Can you believe the words of a re slip of a girl?"
Zi Xia was indignant, couldn’t help but shouted: "You Quack Doctor, you almost killed last night and yet you dare to boast about never making a mistake?"
"That... that was just my Little Kid’s mischief, doesn’t count, doesn’t count."
"Hey! How thick-skinned can you get! You just begged us to forgive you, and now you deny it?" Zi Xia widened her eyes in disbelief, having seen many with thick skins, but this was her first encounter with soone this thick-skinned as Divine Doctor Cheng.
"Girl, those are two different matters. I’ve apologized for the wrong prescription, you didn’t hold it against and I was grateful, but you can’t go overboard and slander my dical skill, that’s an issue of character, and I won’t tolerate it."
