310 Assassination
It happened too suddenly. By the time the surrounding people reacted and restrained Yuan Niang, Doctor Luo had already been pushed to the ground and hit by the broom a few times.
Watching drama was human nature. Compared to the examination, where everyone could watch but didn’t know the specifics, everyone was more interested in drama that involved sexual relationships.
In just a moment, not only did the people outside gather again, but there were also more people than before. Even the courtyard wall and roof beside them were filled with people watching the commotion.
With the help of others, Doctor Luo got up from the ground. After he stood up and looked at Yuan Niang who kicked him to the ground, anger and disgust flashed across his face. “What does your son’s failure have to do with me?
I, Luo Yingxun, have always been upright. For so many days, I haven’t even left the courtyard. I’ve been eating and drinking with these children who came to study!
If you don’t believe me, you can ask them. Other than saying a few words to Madam Du when she came to sign up yesterday, what other interactions have we had these past few days?
On the other hand, your son was the first to sign up, but how many times has your son come over since I started teaching everyone the basics of medicine?
He doesn’t know anything, so how can he pass the exam?”
“That’s because you didn’t teach him well! My son is usually very obedient at home and learns things quickly. It’s obvious that you didn’t teach him seriously!
Luo Yingxun, my husband even carried you off the battlefield back then!
Now that he’s gone, you’re treating us like this. Are you even human?!”
Seeing that her previous accusation had been exposed by Doctor Luo on the spot, Yuan Niang couldn’t care less about her dignity anymore. She started to roll on the ground and cry as she scolded, “My life is so miserable. If my husband was still around, I wouldn’t have suffered so much!
After my husband died, his former comrades have been mistreating us!
Nobody cares about our only child!
For a dirty sl*t…”
“Shut up!” When Doctor Luo heard this, he really couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted at Yuan Niang, “Since you said this, I’ll make things clear in public today. Let’s see if it’s you who let Brother Zhu down or if we’ve forgotten our brotherhood!
When Brother Zhu passed away, his mother was still alive.
But you said that you and your son will have to rely on this bit of compensation money to survive in the future, so no matter what, you wouldn’t give any money to your mother-in-law!
In the end, it was us who sent Brother Zhu’s mother off!
“But later on, because you were scammed, you lost all your money and family assets. It was us old friends who found your current residence for you. We even found a job in the county office for you.
Da Mao has been spoiled by you since he was young. He doesn’t study literature or martial arts, so he was sent to a few shops to be an apprentice. However, Da Mao was always either stealing or causing trouble. In the end, he never achieved anything even at 26 years old!
This time, when you heard that the pharmacy was recruiting apprentices, you looked for me and begged me to give Da Mao a chance. I agreed on account of the deceased Brother Zhu.
However, I made it very clear at that time that I could agree to his participation in the exam, but everything had to be done according to the rules! If he came to study, I definitely would have taught him well. You guys agreed back then, but in the end, Da Mao never showed up to the study sessions.
Halfway through, I asked someone to look for you guys at your house, but what did you guys say?
You said that Da Mao was sick and wanted to rest at home! Then, he came over today to take the test.
It’s your fault that he doesn’t know anything and he can’t pass the test. What right do you have to blame it on me?
You keep criticizing Madam Zhu, but Madam Zhu didn’t make any mistakes from the beginning to the end. She got everything right on the exam!
Besides, Madam Zhu’s participation in this exam wasn’t up to me to decide!
“It was decided by the owner of Rejuvenation Hall. Our owner also said that not only this time, but for all future examinations, only upright, hardworking, and people interested in learning will be qualified to take the exams!
I’m just working for my boss. Your child isn’t competent enough, so who else can you blame?”
Doctor Luo’s words made Madam Song blush, but she turned to the crowd and shouted, “Didn’t you say that you have evidence? Where’s the evidence?”
As Madam Song looked at the crowd that didn’t respond for a long time, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell that someone was using her. She reported the names of all the people who had instigated her to come.
For a moment, the scene became even more chaotic.
Lin Suisui sat in the room and listened for a while. At this point, she could basically conclude that the situation outside was almost under Doctor Luo’s control, so she called out to Yuan Niang and instructed her in a low voice, “Remember the names of these families. When the medical center opens, these people won’t be allowed to enjoy the convenience our medical center will provide to military households.
Since they’re destined to be ingrates, we might as well refuse to serve them!”
Just as she finished instructing Yuan Niang to do this, Qian He rushed in from outside. He was covered in blood as he said to Lin Suisui anxiously, “Madam Liu, help…”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Qian He like this, Lin Suisui only had time to ask this question before Lu Ze came forward and protected her.
“An assassin tried to assassinate the fourth prince!” Qian He also realized that he had lost his composure. After he calmed down, he quickly told Lin Suisui the entire story. “Just now, an assassin tried to assassinate the fourth prince. Mr. Pei went forward and blocked the attack. Although the blade didn’t hurt his vital points, the tip was poisoned!
Although we’ve already given Mr. Pei an antidote, none of the quacks here dare to help him take out the knife. Madam Liu, please save Mr. Pei!”
