Chapter 206: Freeloader and still want to build a memorial archway
There was a cold light in Shu He's eyes.
Does the eldest princess want to default on her debt?
Just now you were saying that the consultation fee was nothing, but now you’re offering free medical treatment!
What a move, the white wolf with empty gloves!
You're getting something for free and still want to be a saint!
This method is really well played!
Shu He glanced around and found that the people below were looking at her with a bit more unfriendly eyes.
They are also mocking her as a doctor, saying that she is a snobbish person who is obsessed with money, right?
Looking at the smug smile on Liu Xi's face, she suppressed her anger and smiled as well.
“It turns out to be a free clinic!”
"Eunuch Liu, please explain clearly. I thought the princess summoned everyone here out of kindness, taking the initiative to help the people solve their problems! It turns out she wants me to provide free medical treatment."
The ending of her word "ah" was a bit long, which caused many people to over-interpret it.
At least Liu Xi understood her subtext.
The general meaning is that people thought the princess was generous and paid the medical fees for the people, but in the end she used other people's hands to gain a good reputation for herself.
Looking at Liu Xi's stiff face, Shu He curled his lips into a wicked smile, "The Princess should have told me in advance. Look at me, I misunderstood everything!"
Liu Xi smiled awkwardly, but before he could say anything, Shu He spoke again.
"Eunuch Liu, please don't blame me for asking too many questions!" Shu He stood up and looked at the people with a righteous look on his face. "As a doctor, I provide free medical treatment to the people. That is my duty and my duty!"
"It's just that I'm unsure about something. I'd like to ask the Princess to clarify."
Liu Xi's face froze slightly, but in front of so many people, he still forced a smile, "Doctor He, if you have any questions, just speak up!"
"After I finished treating the princess just now, she promised to pay me the consultation fee. I wonder if this is still valid?"
As soon as these words came out, the people stared at her with dissatisfaction, with all kinds of emotions mixed in their eyes, which made people's scalps tingle.
Some are sarcastic, some are disdainful, and some are resentful.
"How can this be called a doctor? He's clearly a money-hungry snob!"
"Yes, can such a doctor really cure our epidemic?"
"Isn't he a charlatan?"
Beiji was also confused by her words.
At this time, if I ask for the medical fee again, wouldn't it ruin my reputation?
How could she say such a thing?
Baili Moqing's face was calm, and he didn't even blink when he heard her words.
When Liu Xi heard the people's discussions, a look of contempt appeared on his face, but he immediately hid it.
"What the princess says is of course true. The princess won't give you a penny less of the consultation fee Doctor He asks for!"
Liu Xi's words once again aroused heated discussion among the people.
"Why is she charging a fee for treating the princess? This woman is so ungrateful!"
"What is the status of the princess? She didn't take the initiative to treat her when she was sick, and she even asked for a consultation fee!"
"Is she crazy about money?"
The unpleasant words were carried into the main hall and heard clearly by everyone.
Behind the screen in the front hall, a green figure quietly left without attracting anyone's attention.
"Miss! That woman has really been pushed to the forefront just as you said! Now the people are scolding her!"
Luqiao's voice was filled with pride.
"It's supposed to be a free clinic, but she actually brought up the Princess's medical fee in front of all the people! She's truly someone from a small town, her perspective is pitifully short-sighted!"
Zhu Zifeng lay on the couch, his face full of contempt.
Ziying smiled and said, "Miss, this trick really works. Since it's a free clinic, let's go and seek medical treatment again. That woman must not say anything again!"
"Who said I want to seek medical treatment from her?" Zhu Zifeng snorted coldly, with a bit of confidence and pride on his face.
"Miss?" Lu Qiao was puzzled. "If I don't seek treatment from her, who else can I seek?"
"There are so many people, she can't take care of it all by herself."
Zhu Zifeng looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, his lips curled slightly, "Ziying, go tell Doctor Zhang that there's a barefoot doctor in the front yard who can treat the epidemic in the north of the city. Ask him if he's interested in going and seeing it."
Ziying immediately understood what she meant and bowed, saying, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Although Luqiao didn't quite understand, since the young lady and Ziying knew what was going on, she didn't ask any more questions, otherwise she would appear stupid.
She had other questions.
"Miss, Lord Su clearly said that all the people in the north of the city who had this disease were cured by that woman. How come there are so many more patients overnight?"
Could it be that this disease is contagious?
Thinking of this, Luqiao subconsciously took a step back.
Zhu Zifeng's eyes were fixed on the window, and he didn't notice her movements. He just listened to her words and a hint of pride appeared on his lips.
"This disease is difficult to cure, but it's very easy for people to catch it."
Luqiao looked at her beautiful face and somehow felt a chill all over her body.
In the front hall, the eldest princess's men looked at Shu He with contempt and disdain.
"The doctor beside King Dongli turned out to be such a shallow and superficial person!"
"Yes, how could such a person catch the eye of King Dongli? Isn't it said that King Dongli was very picky back then, and ordinary people simply couldn't catch his eye?"
"I can only say that I've fallen into decline. After all, as an exile, how could I find any capable people to turn to?"
After hearing this, Shu He cast a cold gaze towards the person who spoke last.
It's okay for her, but not for Baili Moqing!
When the man met her gaze, he inexplicably felt a little timid, and with a hint of guilt, he avoided her sight.
Listening to those harsh discussions, Bei Ji's face turned pale. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how.
Baili Moqing remained the same as always, his face calm, his gaze fixed on Shu He, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
She looked into his eyes, feeling a little surprised. Did he guess what she was going to say?
When her emotions were almost calmed down, she bowed deeply towards the backyard with a smile on her face.
"In that case, on behalf of the people, I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Princess, great justice!!"
Her loud shout stunned the people and started to talk.
"Thank the Princess on behalf of the people? What does that mean?"
"Why does she want us to thank Princess Chang for the money she took?"
"How shameless!"
Liu Xi was also completely bewildered, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "Doctor He, what do you mean by this?"
Shu He walked to the door of the hall with a smile on his face and raised his voice a little.
He explained, "Since today's consultation is free, the common people will not be charged. If I continue to accept the consultation fee from the princess, I will feel a little uneasy and ashamed to accept it."
"But the eldest princess is righteous and kind-hearted, so she's naturally not someone who's short of money."
"I see that the people here are refugees who lost their homes in the north of the city. In such cold weather, wearing so little, it's obvious that their lives are very difficult."
"Therefore, I have decided to donate all the money awarded by the Princess to help the people in the north of the city rebuild their homes!"
After these words fell, the courtyard fell silent. The people were stunned, thinking they had misheard! After several seconds, someone shouted excitedly.
"Ah?! The female doctor is going to donate all the money the princess gave her to help us rebuild our home?!"
"No wonder he said he wanted to thank the Princess on our behalf! So that's what he meant!"
"I didn't expect that the doctor is not only a skilled doctor, but also kind-hearted and cares about the people! She is truly the best person in the world!"
"We just misunderstood the doctor!"
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Doctor, you are so righteous!"
This shout made other people join in and praise her.
Some praised her for her beauty and kindness, some praised her for her benevolence and righteousness, and some even said she was elegant and noble!
In short, the sound of praise was endless, and Liu Xi's face next to him became as stiff as it could be.
After hearing those words, Shu He felt a little embarrassed!
This flattery is too exaggerated!
She hurried forward, raised her hand, and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Uncles, brothers and sisters, please listen to me."
When she spoke again, the people stopped and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
