Even the most oblivious individuals could not help but entertain certain thoughts after encountering these peculiar circumstances.
“Could it be that someone is intentionally tarnishing Liu Shimei’s reputation, making it difficult for the Fusheng Pavilion to thrive?”
“Isn’t it? The Fusheng Pavilion is quite grand, and these specialized treatment rooms are innovative. It’s extraordinary at first glance. I suspect it’s jealousy at play.”
“Otherwise, how did this patient end up at the Fusheng Pavilion? You see, the Yizhuang is on the eastern outskirts of the outer city, while the City God Temple Street is on the south side of the Imperial Capital. They carried him all the way from the east gate, passing by at least five other clinics, including branches of the National Medicinal Hall and the Zheng Medicinal Hall. Why didn’t they take him there and insisted on bringing him here?”
Once the questions were raised, some went to inquire of the two porters, “You two are strong men, right? Could you kindly explain why you didn’t take A’fu to another clinic and instead brought him to the Fusheng Pavilion?”
“That’s right, isn’t it odd that you chose to come here, especially when the Fusheng Pavilion is a newly opened clinic? Why not go elsewhere? It’s quite peculiar.”
San Yuan replied, “Someone gave each of us a silver ingot and instructed us to transport him from the Yizhuang outside the city to the Fusheng Pavilion.”
Si Xi added, “We were just in it for the money. We thought we’d be done once we brought him here, but who could have anticipated all this? Who would have thought someone wanted to harm the Eldest Young Miss Liu?”
Someone else asked A’fu, “I remember you had a liver disease before. How did you end up with leprosy after coming to the Yizhuang?”
A’fu replied, “I don’t know either. I was on the verge of death at Yizhuang, feeling terrible and starving. Then one day, someone brought me food and smeared something on me, and after that, I felt even worse. It wasn’t until I came here for treatment that I found out it was leprosy!”
Upon hearing this, even the most foolish person could suddenly see the truth. “Oh, someone really wants to harm Eldest Young Miss Liu! They chose A’fu, who was already on the brink of death, infected him with leprosy. They not only want to ruin Fusheng Pavilion’s business but also infect the kind doctors who were trying to help A’fu!”
Then someone else asked, “A’fu, are you better now?”
A’fu finished his last spoonful of porridge and replied, “Doctor Liu says I’m not completely better yet. The leprosy is definitely cured; otherwise, Eldest Young Miss Liu wouldn’t have let me out. But the liver disease requires three courses of medicine, which will probably take about three months.”
The person asked again, “Three months’ worth of medicine must cost a lot. What if you don’t have the money?”
A’fu answered, “Eldest Young Miss Liu said that Fusheng Pavilion had just opened, and I was sent here as a gift from some suspicious people. Since I was their opening gift, she saved me and offered me a job here at Fusheng Pavilion. They provide me with food, accommodation, and a salary to cover the cost of the medicine!”
He thought for a moment and added, “Actually, I should say it’s a lifesaving fund!”
Wasn’t it a lifesaver?
A person who was on the brink of death could now not only live well but also had a legitimate job!
Upon hearing this, many laborers felt envious. San Yuan, with a bitter face, said, “You’re so lucky! Sigh!”
At that moment, the beautiful Eldest Young Miss Liu, who was giving alms to people with a long-handled ladle, suddenly spoke up..
