These slanderers kept his words in mind. They decided to wait until Zhao Chuchu arrived the next day so they could mock and taunt her as much as possible.
They didn’t know anything about medicine and thought they were young and healthy. What illnesses could they possibly have?
They decided to hide whatever they could and suppress whatever symptoms they felt.
They were paying attention to Xie Heng the entire afternoon. They realized that Xie Heng seemed like he was feeling guilty. He looked tired and lifeless.
From the day Xie Heng entered Qingyang Academy, the professor and teachers quickly recognized him as a student of great intelligence and potential. The teachers appreciated his talent. Even his classmates liked to interact with him. The person who led this whole slander operation, Yu Linjiang, was originally the most valued student at Qingyang Academy. Xie Heng had taken over his place and made him lose the attention of the professors and teachers. That was why he resented Xie Heng. He tried to plot against him and find ways to humiliate him. Or better yet, chase him out of the academy.
Now that he finally found an opportunity, he had to do everything within his power to teach Xie Heng a lesson.
Yu Linjiang didn’t think that Zhao Chuchu was actually the Doctor Miracle that people said she was. He thought that Zhao Chuchu simply got lucky. She happened to treat patients just as the plague was about to get better. That was why people thought she was a great doctor.
Yu Linjiang wasn’t a native citizen of the capital city. Like most other students, he stayed in the hostel inside the academy.
After lessons ended in the evening, Xie Heng hurriedly packed up and got ready to leave.
Yu Linjiang blocked him and said, “Xie Heng, don’t try to hide from us tomorrow and tell your wife not to come. All of Guangqing Province is going to know that you two are scammers fishing for recognition and fame. I don’t know if it’s going to affect your chances of becoming a government official.”
“Get out of my way,” Xie Heng said coldly.
“Don’t you dare to answer me?
“My wife is giving free consultation out of goodwill. If you don’t believe her, then don’t come. There is no need to slander my wife like this.”
“I don’t care about that nonsense. I’m just asking one thing. Do you dare to tell your wife to come as planned tomorrow?
“She doesn’t owe you anything, and I won’t let her get bullied by people like you.”
Xie Heng was pretending to retreat to advance his plan.
“Hahaha, did you hear that? Our great scholar, Xie, is actually nervous, he’s giving such righteous reasons to cancel the whole operation. The professor has already made the arrangements. We’re stopping lessons for the whole day tomorrow. Do you want to change your mind suddenly? Do you have any respect for the professor at all?”
“You…”
Xie Heng looked livid.
“Great scholar, did we actually guess your plan? Does your wife actually not know anything?”
“Sigh, in my opinion, people should try to face reality. Don’t keep coming up with schemes and crooked ways to attract attention from our teachers. What’s the point?”
“Xie Heng, if you admit that you’re a coward now, we’ll let this go.”
Xie Heng glanced at them and said, “If you don’t get out of my way now, I won’t hold back anymore.”
“Oh my, getting angry now? Why are you angry? Oh right, we exposed you, and you’re feeling guilty now, am I right? I told you! If a kid as young as her can be Doctor Miracle, there would be no difficult illness in the world! So many doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades! They should be able to revive people from the dead!”
Yu Linjiang continued to taunt Xie Heng.
Xie Heng stopped responding to them. He walked around Yu Linjiang and left the academy at the fastest speed possible.
Yu Linjiang and his friends laughed, feeling like they’d won.
They didn’t see that Xie Heng was smiling with his back facing them.
Yu Linjiang felt like he had just won against Xie Heng. He gathered his friends and left the academy. They went to eat a good meal to celebrate.
The next day, they would get to see Xie Heng lose everything.
As long as they suppressed their symptoms, Zhao Chuchu would misjudge their condition. What an easy task.
Before sleeping, Xie Heng told Zhao Chuchu about what happened at the academy.
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
These people had too much time on their hands.
“Is it Yu Linjiang? I will check his pulse properly tomorrow.”
“I told them that if they tried to suppress it, you’d be more likely to make mistakes.”
“Suppress it?”
Zhao Chuchu almost spat out her water.
“Damn, you’re a mean one.”
“They will try to suppress it.”
Xie Heng knew Yu Linjiang too well.
He was a stubborn and over-confident person. He would do everything he could to set someone up. He definitely wouldn’t suspect what he said.
After all, Xie Heng told his friends about it. It was overheard by Yu Linjiang’s friends and passed to him.
“Alright then, I won’t let them down tomorrow.”
“If they say anything stupid, please bear with it for a while. We can get back at them later on.”
“Yup, I know.”
Qingyang Academy’s students were different from the clowns and fools outside. They were all scholars and had proper statuses and ranks. If she beat them up at the academy, she would get in trouble.
“Have you prepared everything that you need to bring? If not, I can help you pack up.”
“I’ve prepared everything already. Go to sleep. We need to wake up early to head to the academy tomorrow..”
