"Don't talk for now, listen to me, I'll only say this once!" Dongfang Ning interrupted Liu Ruyuan, who was about to stand up and greet her, and sat down. He picked up a few cups of tea and drained them in one gulp.
If the Liu family knew that she only used the word "taste" to evaluate the tea, who knew what kind of expression they would have. This was one of the presents from the West Ridge Country to the emperor, it was only brought back by her daughter.
Normally, he wouldn't even be willing to eat. Today, it was because all of the people here were all important figures of the capital that he could bear to drink a few cups of wine. While showing their status, they also showed the importance they attached to the others. Those who could drink this tea were all royalty!
Everyone was quietly waiting for Dongfang Ning to speak. Who knew that her action of drinking tea completely destroyed that sacred feeling? They all felt relieved: she was still just a little girl in the mountains.
"Let me emphasize one more thing, my words will not change, and I will not accept any bargaining!"
"Due to the patient not receiving treatment in time, the blood in his leg has accumulated so much that it has already pressured the nervous system of his injured leg and is slowly spreading to his thigh. Oh ~ You wouldn't understand what I'm telling you."
Suddenly thinking of how no one could understand these things, she reorganized her words:
"In other words, the patient's injuries are very serious and will not be amputated …" In other words, if you cut off your leg, you would be in danger of losing your life. Hmm, very dangerous! "
"..."
Everyone already knew that it was dangerous, so they didn't interrupt and waited for her to continue.
Dongfang Ning motioned for the girl to refill the tea cup before he lightly said, "What I'm going to say next is just to inform the families here, not for you to give me a different opinion."
The meaning behind her words was that she had the final say. Others had no say in this matter, so how much did she hate this kind of opportunity to interact with others?
"The patient is in danger right now. I've already retreated from the fever, so he can stay awake for a while. You can talk to him, tell him what I want, and ask him if he wants. If he doesn't want to, then I can't do anything about it!"
"There are only two treatment options. One is to protect your life, but not your legs. Two is to protect your life, and the other is to protect your legs."
"The conditions for these two schemes are also different. The first plan is to pay three thousand silvers for the doctor's fee …" Gold; the second plan, the patient will be my follower for three years, the consultation fee will not be paid. "
"Shh ~"
The entire audience sucked in a breath of cold air. If you wanted money, that's fine, but you still want a noble young master to be your medicine boy?
He was still the younger brother of the imperial concubine. Although he had no power or influence, his status was already so prestigious that he was only second to the princes and princes. This woman truly did not know her place!
Qi Ziheng, who was on the roof, was also secretly surprised. Where did this little girl come from? Didn't she know that this would lead to a fatal disaster?
Right now, everyone no longer cared about whether or not she could be cured. They were all pinching a handful of meat for her. As for the other one, he was still lightly blowing on the hot tea, waiting for it to cool down before taking a sip.
"Oh, right. You only have one hour, which is... One hour, one hour to think. Now, quickly go in and see the patient; he couldn't afford to delay any longer. And you doctors can also go take a look. If you can cure her, that would be even better.
The lazy tone and indifferent expression caused everyone to rush to the inner courtyard as if they had just woken up from a dream:
"Will it really get rid of the heat if I get burnt like that?"
"Seeing that she doesn't seem to be lying, hurry up and go take a look!"
"To be able to reduce the fever so quickly, it must be a demoness!"
Generally speaking, people with high statuses and status loved to have a sense of existence. Amongst these old men, there were quite a few who were jealous of their talents. There were indeed people who spoke sarcastically.
"Milords, this is a family matter for my Liu family. Please quiet down and let me talk to my son."
Seeing the crowd surrounding his son's bed, taking turns checking his pulse and treating him like a monkey, Liu Ruyuan finally lost his temper:
"Someone, send our guest off!"
"Don't, don't. We won't speak. We won't speak. Please, please …"
"She really isn't going to burn, this girl is really a god!"
"The leg is swollen to the thigh area. Is this what the woman meant when she said," Spread to the thigh area? "
"Look here, there are green spots on your thighs …" You really know how to treat it? "
"Don't listen to her blabbering. Is it really possible for the third young master to become her follower?"
Hearing the whispers of these people, Liu Ruyuan could no longer hold back as he glared at them, "You bunch of quack doctors, get out!"
"Men, chase them all out! Get out! My son … "Sob, sob, sob …"
The old man could not help but feel sorrowful. Although the Liu family was a small branch family, they were still important. No, why couldn't these people respect his father's feelings?
So what if you've offended him? His son was more important!
When the people who were chased out heard his crying, they realized that they had gone too far. They were not angry, but stood outside silently. "Uncle Liu, don't be angry. Don't worry, we'll wait outside, outside …"
Dongfang Ning saw this scene from a distance and thought to himself, "Everything is the same in this world. If you have less power, you can only be bullied."
She also wanted the Liu family's young master to be her follower, because she had no power and influence. She had no one to rely on, and she even dragged a whole family behind her. If she didn't get a powerful backing, she would be finished.
"Three thousand taels of gold should be enough for me to take my family and fly far away, right?"
However, she believed that the Liu Clan would definitely choose the second method. Buying a life with three thousand taels of silver was too cheap. If he was missing a leg, then even if he lived, he would still be a piece of trash. It would be better to die than to live.
Thinking of his family, Dongfang Ning's expression eased a bit. Someone with a family was just different. Someone else was also a part of him? They had just assigned the task yesterday. They didn't know if they would be able to complete it today …
"Someone come!"
"Please give your instructions, Lady Fang!" One of the servants who had been following her immediately stepped forward. "If you are tired, you can go to the guest room to rest. There, you have prepared a guest room for the girl."
"No need. It's just that I might not be able to return home today. You should find someone to report to my house that it's safe."
"Yes!"
Dongfang Ning looked at the little girl's back as she left and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "I have a 'home' as well."
"Alas, I really hope that I don't have to live a life where I have to fight to the death with a weapon all day long …"
"However, without a powerful force, how can we keep our family safe?"
Dongfang Ning fell into a daze. Wasn't life just about cleaning guns and accepting quests? All the energy was placed on the enemy, how could she have known that ordinary people's lives were so complicated? She had learned life skills before, but she wasn't adept at it because she didn't have the chance to use them.
This was not a civilized era, and no one knew better than her what the war represented. Ordinary people couldn't live a safe life in a mountain village, not to mention that she had taken over the Liu family's business, so it was impossible for her to live a normal life.
Since she couldn't live an ordinary life, she would have to do it step by step. One day, she would definitely be able to make a family business that no one would dare to bully.
A different life?
Elder sister is not afraid!
For this family, Dongfang Ning, do your best!
