"Although I don't like you, I dislike the Xu family even more. He seems well-prepared; what will you do?"
Song Feiwan raised her hand, signaling her to calm down.
"Since they are all my patients, let's bring them in."
Xu Xianzhi stopped the clinic's assistant and said, "Please wait. Doctor Song may not know, but these are all my trusted subordinates. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it would be best for Doctor Song to treat them here."
Song Feiwan replied, "Young Master Xu, since you are in my clinic, you must abide by my rules."
Xu Xianzhi snorted coldly, "Once they are brought inside and the door is closed, who knows what could happen? Or is it that Doctor Song is afraid to treat patients in public?"
This not only questioned her medical skills but also demeaned her character.
Song Feiwan's beautiful face turned slightly solemn.
When Xu Xianzhi met her dark, clear eyes that seemed to see through everything, he felt a shiver run down his spine and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
He thought to himself: He had sent someone to take the number; he had reason on his side. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, if she dared to refuse, it would only show her guilt!
Straightening his back, he declared loudly, "Since Doctor Song opened this clinic, she has faced quite a bit of skepticism. If you can diagnose a patient right here and now, it would not only dispel my doubts but also eliminate rumors—wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
"Doctor Song, I am helping you! You should seize this opportunity!"
Rong Anning couldn't stand his hypocrisy and rolled her eyes.
She advised Song Feiwan, "This person definitely has ulterior motives. At most, just refund every patient their number and compensate them a bit of silver to avoid any real trouble that could tarnish your reputation."
Realizing how that sounded, she quickly added, "But I'm not concerned about you! I'm just worried about ruining Cousin Chen Wang's good name."
Song Feiwan smiled at her and took a step back.
"You are right," she said.
Rong Anning and Xu Xianzhi both showed expressions of anticipation.
However, many onlookers furrowed their brows.
Didn’t they say when the clinic opened that anyone could come for treatment regardless of status? Now it seemed they were being turned away?
Having already taken numbers, why shouldn’t they be treated?
Could it be that the Princess Consort was feeling guilty? Did she really know medicine?
A plainly dressed woman anxiously defended, "Of course she does!"
She pushed the little boy beside her forward. My son had a seizure before, and it was extremely dangerous; it was the princess who helped us!
This mother and son were the ones whom Song Feiwan had assisted during the lantern festival.
She spoke earnestly, "My son is currently taking medicine from the Song Medical Hall. The princess understands that we can't afford much money, so she specifically provided us with more common herbs to help us save costs! Xu'er hasn't had an episode since then. The princess is skilled in medicine and has a compassionate heart; she is definitely not the hypocrite you speak of!"
However, others did not believe her words and countered, "Then why doesn't she dare to agree to treat him in public?"
The woman hesitated, unable to find a reason to refute them, looking as flustered as an ant on a hot pan.
Song Feiwan glanced at her gratefully, shook her head slightly, signaling her not to say anything further.
Then she spoke up, "Since Young Master Xu insists that the patient be treated here, let's proceed as he suggests."
Rong Anning looked at her in shock. "Song Feiwan?"
Song Feiwan smiled at her and gently said, "Prince Chen cares for the people and loves them as his own children. I opened this medical hall hoping to contribute my part for the common folk just like him. Neither he nor I would stand by and watch someone die without offering help."
Rong Anning hadn't realized that there was such sentiment behind the medical hall, moved to the point of being speechless.
Song Feiwan turned around and coldly asked, "But is the patient truly someone brought by Young Master Xu?"
