Even the most oblivious individuals could not help but entertain certain thoughts after encountering these peculiar circ.u.mstances.

Could it be that someone is intentionally tarnis.h.i.+ng Liu s.h.i.+meis reputation, making it difficult for the Fusheng Pavilion to thrive?

Isnt it? The Fusheng Pavilion is quite grand, and these specialized treatment rooms are innovative. Its extraordinary at first glance. I suspect its 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 G.o.d Temple Street is on the south side of the Imperial Capital. They carried him all the way from the east gate, pa.s.sing by at least five other clinics, including branches of the National Medicinal Hall and the Zheng Medicinal Hall. Why didnt 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 didnt take Afu to another clinic and instead brought him to the Fusheng Pavilion?

Thats right, isnt it odd that you chose to come here, especially when the Fusheng Pavilion is a newly opened clinic? Why not go elsewhere? Its 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 wed be done once we brought him here, but who could have antic.i.p.ated all this? Who would have thought someone wanted to harm the Eldest Young Miss Liu?

Someone else asked Afu, I remember you had a liver disease before. How did you end up with leprosy after coming to the Yizhuang?

Afu replied, I dont 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 wasnt 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 Afu, who was already on the brink of death, infected him with leprosy. They not only want to ruin Fusheng Pavilions business but also infect the kind doctors who were trying to help Afu!

Then someone else asked, Afu, are you better now?

Afu finished his last spoonful of porridge and replied, Doctor Liu says Im not completely better yet. The leprosy is definitely cured; otherwise, Eldest Young Miss Liu wouldnt 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 dont have the money?

Afu 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 its a lifesaving fund!

Wasnt 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, Youre 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..
