Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Don’t Trust Them
Searcy wanted to say something, but Gu Youyou pulled her down and took her place.
With Searcy’s fiery temper, she would start arguing with them in just a few words, and wouldn’t they end up getting hit?
Gu Youyou slightly curtsied to everyone with a smile, looked around, and then slowly began to speak.
“I have never deceived you. I’ve always said we are traveling doctors. When did I lie to you?”
“But you’re not witch doctors.”
“We never said we were witch doctors either.”
Everyone was in an uproar, looking bewildered at the previously amiable person.
“You… You’re clearly twisting words. You didn’t say you were witch doctors, but you didn’t deny it either. Isn’t that silent consent?”
Searcy still pushed Gu Youyou aside, saying indignantly, “It’s your assumption of silent consent. We never said so. Besides, whether witch doctors or traveling doctors, the purpose is to treat your illnesses. It’s just a name, is it that important?”
“We don’t trust doctors or traveling doctors. You’re frauds.”
Now Jin Liuying was unsettled, snorting coldly and saying, “What have we cheated you of? We gave you so much medicine. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“Who knows what you’re up to? You people of Zhuzhao want to annex our Nanzhao at heart. Maybe this is just a scheme of yours.”
Jin Liuying sneered, coldly saying, “A scheme? Should these words reach His Majesty’s ears, who knows whether you’d still be alive. Don’t you know His Majesty is working hard for good relations between our countries and you are dragging us back here.” Discover more novels at novelꜰire.net
The middle-aged man was instantly speechless and somewhat at a loss.
Indeed, now is a time of good relations between the two countries, and their side even married off a princess.
But his brother died in that war with Zhuzhao Country a few years ago. It’s impossible for him to have no prejudice against Zhuzhao Country.
His life has always been at odds with Zhuzhao Country.
“Hmph, it seems necessary to report this matter to His Majesty. How could there be a person like you in Nanzhao Country?” Jin Liuying continued.
Everyone looked at the middle-aged man, and someone said, “Wuyong, we know your brother died at the hands of the Zhuzhao people, so you have prejudice against them. But now is a time when the countries are on good terms; you should refrain from saying such things.”
“Yes, I think this young lady is genuinely here to treat us. Since she dares to treat people in Taihe City, His Majesty must be aware, and this might even be His Majesty’s decision. We are just ordinary people, whether she’s a witch doctor or not, let’s see if she can heal us first.”
“My master can naturally heal everyone as long as you take the medicine as she instructed. Recently, the Empress Dowager had a severe illness, and many witch doctors couldn’t cure her. Wasn’t it my master who was invited to finally heal her?”
The crowd was shocked.
Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was ill, and witch doctors were sought from all over to treat her. That commotion was not small. But recently, the Empress Dowager suddenly got well, which everyone knew about.
Everyone thought it was a powerful witch doctor who cured her. So it was this young lady?
Gu Youyou suitably smiled at everyone, acknowledging the fact.
Letting Jin Liuying and Searcy play the villains was fine; she only needed to maintain a good image. This was indeed a powerful tool in Nanzhao.
Jin Liuying was very pleased with everyone’s reaction, seizing the opportunity to continue: “A few years ago, the typhoid fever in the Lingnan Barracks was also cured by my master. When she left, she let the Marquess of Lingnan hand over the prescription to the Nanzhao army. Without my master, who knows how many would have died? And what did she get in return? She never charged you a penny for consultation, did she?”
