Doctor Liuâs expression changed drastically. He subconsciously reached out to hug the medicine basket.
In this way, everyone understood. Their expressions changed drastically and they glared at him angrily. They were so angry that their bodies were trembling.
âYou shameless thing, you actually used this medicinal herb to deceive us. No wonder my grandson hasnât recovered after coughing for two days. You heartless thing, you want to kill us.â
âThis is treatment, you quack. If anyoneâs illness is seriously delayed by you, youâll be the murderer.â
âBring him to the officials, Village Chief. This kind of black-hearted thing must be sent to the officials.â
âYes, he must have tricked other villages too. I donât know how many people around here have been persecuted by him.â
âMaybe the herbs he sells have already killed people.â
The more Doctor Liu listened, the paler his face became, and his hands and feet slowly turned cold.
He still wanted to defend himself, but facing the indignant villagers, he could not find any excuse.
Soon, a villager went forward to pull him and snatched the medicine basket from his arms.
âItâs evidence that heâs harming people.â
âCome, letâs go see the officials.â
Doctor Liu staggered a few steps from being pulled by a few people. Even his wrist was bleeding from a womanâs nails.
Hearing that the villagers insisted on sending him to the officials, the panic in Doctor Liuâs heart grew. Gradually, hatred spread, and he looked at Shao Qingyuan with resentment.
Shao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows. Doctor Liu suddenly broke free from the villagersâ grip.
Then, she quickly rushed towards Shao Qingyuan. âItâs all your fault. Itâs all your fault. You had to interfere.â
Shao Qingyuan didnât care about him at all. Seeing him rush forward, a figure suddenly blocked in front of him and pushed Doctor Liu away.
âYouâre the one who plotted against us for money, yet youâre blaming others for exposing you. Youâre simply shameless.â
A crisp voice sounded in the room, attracting everyoneâs attention.
Including Gu Yundong, who was standing behind the window sill outside.
Gu Yundong smiled when she saw this woman bravely standing in front of Shao Qingyuan as if she wanted to protect him, but she was trembling and trying her best to suppress her fear.
She turned around and glanced at Xue Zongguang. âWho is she?â
Xue Zongguang felt that Miss Gu seemed to have seen through something and understood everything. His forehead could not help but break out in cold sweat. He laughed dryly and hurriedly said, âS-Sheâs my daughter. Her name is Xue Qin.â
After that, she explained, âThis morning, I was a little worried that Master hadnât returned to the manor, so I asked Qinâer to come over and see what had happened.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Zongguang wanted to slap himself. It would have been better if he hadnât explained, but once he did, he felt like he was hiding something.
Gu Yundong replied with a meaningful âohâ and continued to look into the house.
Shao Qingyuan didnât seem to be satisfied with this woman who suddenly stood in front of him. He frowned slightly and looked at Ah Zhu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The latter touched his nose and said softly, âYoung Master, this⦠Miss Xue was standing in front of meâ¦â
He also wanted to stand in front of Young Master. Wasnât it because his geographical location didnât allow it? He let Xue Qin beat him to it.
Xue Qinâs back was facing them, so she naturally didnât see their exchange of glances. She only glared at Doctor Liu, who had been pushed to the ground by her, and said, âOur young master is trying to seek justice from the bottom of his heart. He didnât let you harm so many people, but you still bite back and say that my young master is nosy? Are we going to let a poisonous snake like you go around harming people?â
