Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes and walked over to Doctor Huang’s side. “As a doctor, treating and saving lives is your duty. Doctor Huang, do you not feel guilty for making such unfounded accusations?”
Doctor Huang was shaken by her words, his whole body trembling. Having engaged in money matters too often, he had indeed buried his conscience.
His original intention to study medicine seemed to have been long forgotten.
Now brought to light by Su Yingxue, he felt overwhelming shame.
However, he knew well that they were in the Marquis’s Manor. Saying the wrong thing here could result in more than just losing the silver he had earned.
He feigned composure and then, stroking his beard, said, “I have been practicing medicine for decades, particularly treating Marquis Changxin’s madam. 1 am well aware of her condition. The Ninth Princess Consort’s use of medication… is indeed reckless!”
Just as Su Xinlan was about to rejoice, the headmaster suddenly rebuked, “Reckless? 1 think you’re nothing more than a charlatan! How dare you call yourself a doctor!”
Doctor Huang’s hand trembled as he stroked his beard.
Su Xinlan quickly defended Doctor Huang. “Headmaster, although you hold the position of headmaster at the Imperial Medical Academy, Doctor Huang is quite respected in Jiang Du City. How can you say such things?”
“Having prestige without the intention to treat and save lives does not make one a qualified doctor. 1 have already given him considerable respect.” The headmaster pointed to Xu Aoqing’s phlegm container.
“The patient’s phlegm contains impure blood, indicating long-term lung congestion. If Doctor Huang truly understood treatment, he would first clear the respiratory tract and then administer medication to eliminate it. Unlike the Ninth Princess Consort, who initially used strong medication, the patient shows no signs of weakness at present. Evidently, after the Ninth Princess Consort’s aggressive treatment, she followed up with tonic medicine and gentle treatment. Only through precise medication and acupuncture can good results be achieved.”
He glanced at Doctor Huang, his eyes narrowed. “Yet Doctor Huang accuses the Ninth Princess Consort of excessive medication. Can you accurately identify what medication the Ninth Princess Consort used after examining her pulse?”
Doctor Huang’s eyes widened. “Well…”
He genuinely couldn’t determine what medication Su Yingxue had used!
Moreover, Xu Aoqing’s rapid and peculiar recovery was beyond his capabilities!
Su Yingxue approached Doctor Huang. She wasn’t interested in Doctor Huang’s medical skills, but rather, she asked him curiously, “May 1 ask, Doctor Huang, who instructed you to treat Madam in this manner?”
Doctor Huang was startled. Su Yingxue’s probing gaze felt like a sharp sword piercing straight into his heart, causing him inexplicable panic.
While Doctor Huang panicked, Su Xinlan was busy crying in front of Marquis Changxin. “Marquis, please listen to what Yingxue is saying! Although she is now the Ninth Princess Consort and holds a high status, she doesn’t respect me as her aunt. However, this is the Marquis’s Manor, your home! I have faithfully served you for many years and have endured hardships even without rewards. I am even more sincere to my sister. Who would have thought that the Ninth Princess Consort would come and suspect me like this?”
Every word she uttered accused Su Yingxue of arrogance due to her status and of interfering recklessly in the affairs of the Marquis’s Manor.
Marquis Changxin naturally felt displeased. “Ninth Princess Consort, despite your noble status and exceptional medical skills, it doesn’t give you the right to belittle other doctors. Moreover, you show disrespect towards Lan’er. This is not how a junior should behave.”
“Marquis! Being a good elder isn’t easy..”
