Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu Lingyao had been standing behind his wife, Liu Shimei, watching her shine with radiance, feeling quite moved.
Just as he was about to witness her grand plans unfold, someone in the vicinity cried out for help. Even though this was a medical facility, it cast an ominous shadow over the moment!
He furrowed his brows and turned to look.
Liu Shimei, naturally, also turned immediately. While her complexion was not as attractive as before, she showed no signs of annoyance. Instead, she took a few steps forward and inquired, “Who is calling for help, and what is the matter?”
The crowd automatically parted, creating a path.
Before long, two people carried a stretcher over and stopped it right in front of the main entrance of the Fusheng Pavilion, placing the stretcher in the middle.
“Eldest Young Miss Liu, you are a doctor. Could you please take a look at this person? Is there any hope left for them?”
A person lay on the stretcher, covered with a black cloth.
Most people would not think too much about this, but Liu Shimei furrowed her brows slightly. She did not display impatience on her face, though. Instead, she walked directly to the stretcher and crouched down beside it.
Huangfu Lingyao, of course, followed her every move, his gaze lowered, discreetly scanning the two individuals who had brought the stretcher.
He noticed that both of them had their hands wrapped in cloth!
He sensed trouble and quickly went over to hold Liu Shimei’s hand, stopping her from lifting the black cloth. He said, “Wife, don’t we usually follow the steps of examination, observation, inquiry, and pulse-taking? Shouldn’t you start by not touching the patient?”
Liu Shimei paused for a moment, nodded, and said, “You’re right. I was too hasty. I didn’t put on my mask and gloves.”
She took the mask that Shu Jun handed to her and put it on. Then, she put on the gloves as well.
Now, she had no choice but to go and see this patient. Huangfu Lingyao felt a bit anxious, but she had no reason to stop her.
With so many onlookers, Liu Shimei had also stated that Fusheng Pavilion had no threshold for medical treatment. It did not discriminate among patients. As long as someone was ill and had the possibility of recovery, Fusheng Pavilion would accept them.
If the first patient who came in right after the opening was mishandled, the medical hall’s future prospects would be bleak.
Liu Shimei was well aware of this. She had her suspicions: They don’t seem to be here for medical treatment but to make trouble! Well, I’ve been looking for a chance to make a name for myself in one fell swoop. Isn’t this perfect timing?
Although it was somewhat risky, it was also a great opportunity.
Once she had treated this patient, she would investigate who was behind this.
Liu Shimei lifted the black cloth, revealing the patient’s face.
As soon as she saw it clearly, her expression changed drastically. She said, “Clear the crowd! This is leprosy, it’s contagious!”
As soon as the word ‘leprosy’ was uttered, the crowd immediately scattered.
But since Liu Shimei had not left, some people still had the courage to watch from a distance.
These bold ones were not the worst; there were even more fearless individuals who rushed forward.
“Liu Shimei, you, a so-called talented woman who has always only dabbled in the superficial, can actually practice medicine? It’s truly laughable!”
Liu Shimei looked up and saw Yu Wanqing approaching in a bright red dress.
She frowned, knowing that leprosy was contagious and not a trivial matter. She was about to ask someone to isolate Yu Wanqing.
But before she could speak, Yu Wanqing raised her voice and said to the crowd that was keeping its distance, “Fellow villagers, don’t believe that Liu Shimei knows anything about medicine! She’s the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s family, the precious daughter of a noble and wealthy family.. If we’re talking about her being well-versed in literature and poetry, I believe it! But when it comes to her treating illnesses, are we sure she doesn’t want to harm them?”
