The scene was filled with a buzzing commotion.

Those standing close enough to hear clearly quickly spread the words throughout the crowd.

A plow blade injuring the thigh wasn’t particularly frightening, but that bamboo pole piercing through the chest…

Just thinking about such a scene made everyone shudder.

How could anyone still be alive after that? It would be a miracle!

Divine physicians aren’t actual immortals after all.

“This can’t be made into a disturbance, making trouble would be going too far…”

“…Exactly, exactly… Even physicians can’t cure every illness…”

Such discussions dominated the majority, and the looks directed toward Qianjin Hall returned to normal.

“Sir, look, what should we do about this matter?” Qi Yue looked at Wang Qingchun, putting on a worried expression as she spoke. “You must handle this fairly.”

Handle this fairly…

Wang Qingchun cursed viciously in his heart.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone… he actually had to speak up for this woman!

Wang Qingchun’s heart was bleeding. He couldn’t help but glare at the people beside him.

The people around him all shrank back and avoided his gaze.

The situation had been too sudden. By the time they learned of it, they had already lost the initiative and couldn’t squeeze in to watch the excitement, naturally not knowing the details of the matter… Yet afraid of missing this great opportunity to see this woman disgraced, they had hurried over.

How could they have known that the deceased had been so severely injured…

This wasn’t making the woman lose face – it was making them lose face!

“Such severe injuries are truly dangerous…” Wang Qingchun said through gritted teeth, looking at the family members huddled together crying, speaking in a low voice. “…Death from severe injuries cannot be blamed on the physician… You all, stop making trouble…”

Saying these words truly went against his conscience.

“Exactly, exactly.”

“This really can’t be blamed on the physician…”

“Who could have cured such injuries? It would take a great immortal…”

“…Even a great immortal couldn’t do it. The King of Hell is also an immortal – why should your great immortal steal his business…”

“…Surname Fang, are you deliberately picking a fight with me?”

“…So what if I’m picking a fight? When are you going to pay back those two steamed buns you ate from me last time?”

“…You still haven’t paid me for the firewood you owe…”

The onlookers said all sorts of things, and some even started pulling and tugging at each other in fights. The more they watched the excitement, the more excited it became. A chaotic mess.

Wang Qingchun became increasingly irritated and simply couldn’t stay any longer.

“Enough, what’s there to make trouble about? Go on, go on.” He waved his hand dismissively.

The young woman who had remained silent finally raised her head. She had naturally been listening and watching everything around her.

Indeed… just as her cousin had said… then she should now…

“Concubine!” Chang Yunqi suddenly burst through the curtains, his expression unpleasant.

Concubine Zhou was slowly eating bird’s nest soup.

“What’s wrong? Instead of studying diligently, what are you doing out here? Didn’t I tell you before? Don’t worry about household matters. I’ll handle everything.” She slowly finished the last spoonful.

A maid respectfully took the covered bowl and withdrew.

“What’s happening with Yueniang over there!” Chang Yunqi demanded in a low voice.

“What do you mean what’s happening?” Concubine Zhou frowned. “I don’t like you mentioning that woman. Don’t mention her in front of me anymore. Also, you should give up hope early. She didn’t marry you before, and now, as well as in the future, it’s even more impossible…”

Speaking of this, she showed some satisfaction.

“Thank heaven and earth, fortunately the Old Marchioness didn’t let her marry you.” She smiled, looking at the son before her with joy and pride on her face. “Although you can’t get the position of Prince, you’ll become a top scholar and an official in the future. That lowly servant girl – how could she be worthy?”

Chang Yunqi laughed.

“Of course I’m not worthy.” He said.

“I’m saying she’s not worthy of you. You men all put that woman on such a pedestal – what does she have? Isn’t it just a pretty face?” Concubine Zhou’s expression showed displeasure as she snorted. “You men, indeed, just looking at that face is enough.”

“Don’t talk about other things.” Chang Yunqi interrupted her with some irritation. “Speak – what did you do? Why did you go after Yueniang again for no reason!”

“What did I do?” Concubine Zhou waved her hand and sat down carelessly.

“Your maid Hehua – her maternal uncle is from Sanli Village.” Chang Yunqi said coldly with a snort.

Concubine Zhou’s hand stopped fidgeting with her fingernails.

“So you know about this.” She smiled without any panic.

Chang Yunqi looked at her without speaking.

“Fine, don’t worry. This matter isn’t directed at Yueniang.” Concubine Zhou stood up with a smile. “It’s just to add some trouble for that mother and son, to splash some dirty water on them.”

Chang Yunqi looked at her, his expression unmoved.

“It better be so.” He said slowly, looking at his birth mother. “Otherwise, since I was able to bring you back, Concubine, I can certainly send you away again.”

Concubine Zhou’s expression changed slightly.

“You, how can you say such things to me!” She reached up to clutch her chest. “I am your mother.”

Chang Yunqi looked away and turned around.

“But I am not Chang Yuncheng.” He said flatly, taking large strides out without further pause.

Concubine Zhou swept the teacup off the table behind him.

The shattering porcelain made a maid standing outside bow her head and enter.

“Did you give her proper instructions?” Concubine Zhou asked without looking at her.

The maid responded affirmatively.

“Instructed well – if possible, naturally drag the young madam down with her, but if not, then just insist on biting the Prince.” She said in a low voice.

Concubine Zhou nodded.

“If we can’t destroy the old one, then we’ll blacken the young one!” She said slowly, leaning against the pillow with a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.

At this time outside Qianjin Hall, the atmosphere clearly was no longer one of accusation against Qianjin Hall. At the same time, the young woman also kowtowed to Qi Yue.

“Physician, Physician Qi, I’m not blaming you.” She cried.

At these words, the entire crowd was stunned.

Not blaming you? Then what had everyone just been… dreaming?

Wang Qingchun cursed even more viciously in his heart.

You’re not blaming them, so what are you doing making trouble here!

Are you crazy?

Everyone had the same thought, including the people from Qianjin Hall.

Not blaming them? Then this was… coming to present a banner of gratitude?

You must be joking!

“Physician Qi, yes, you came to my home so quickly at that time to treat my father.” The young woman cried, raising her head with gratitude on her face. “My father was already dead at that time – it was you. It was you who brought him back to life…”

This… Qi Yue looked at this woman, still feeling something was strange…

Brought back to life? The people around heard this and were very surprised, quickly spreading the word again.

Injured so severely that he died on the spot, yet could still be brought back to life?

Truly it was Miss Qi! Truly a divine physician!

Some people asked if it was really true.

“Of course it’s true, we saw it with our own eyes.” The villagers who had come testified, describing the scene at the time. “In any case, Miss Qi did this and that, and the person came back to life. He even spoke.”

Truly amazing! Everyone’s gazes toward Qi Yue became even more fervent.

Wang Qingchun cursed angrily in his heart – this was really someone coming to present banners and plaques! But expressing gratitude by carrying a corpse while wearing mourning clothes was truly a first in the world!

What kind of affair was this!

He angrily waved his hand, too lazy to even speak as he squeezed toward the exit.

Qi Yue had long since stopped paying attention to him.

“Miss, since you understand…” She looked at this family and said.

Before she could finish speaking, the girl let out another loud wail.

“But, but, Father…” She cried, rushing over and throwing herself on the deceased’s body, wailing. “Father! You died so unjustly!”

This sudden crying stunned everyone again.

That’s not right – if Miss Qi could bring him back to life, how did he die again?

Unjustly?

Qi Yue was finally enlightened by this cry of injustice.

“Miss.” She stepped forward. “No, it’s not like that. I couldn’t save your father. Too much blood loss. He simply couldn’t be saved – it has nothing to do with anything else.”

The woman began ignoring her again, only crying loudly. One cry after another of injustice, and seeing this, the remaining children also began crying loudly following their sister.

“Father! If you must blame someone, blame your bad fate for not being born into a wealthy family, born with this lowly life. Even if Heaven wanted to keep you, it couldn’t!” The woman wailed in heartbreak.

What exactly was happening?

The onlookers were completely confused.

“He was brought back to life!” The villagers who had witnessed the entire process and knew the details finally remembered the key point, speaking angrily. “He was brought back to life! They were going to take him back to Qianjin Hall to continue treatment, but someone came and blocked the door, not letting them leave, not letting them treat him, but making Miss Qi go save their people instead! As a result, their people lived! But this one…”

They spoke with increasing anger, and by the end couldn’t continue, pointing at the deceased on the door plank.

The person here naturally died…

How tragic!

So that’s how it was…

So that’s how it was – it wasn’t directed at them, but at Chang Yuncheng!

“No, that’s not right.” Qi Yue shouted loudly. “This has nothing to do with that. This injured person died from excessive blood loss…”

But no one listened to her words anymore. Everyone was buzzing with discussion, looking at the deceased and the grief-stricken family, pointing and whispering.

My goodness, how tragic! This was even more tragic than dying outright.

Exactly – a divine physician would naturally cure people.

To die when there was clearly hope for survival was simply…

Too tragic! Too pitiful! Too… excessive!

“It was clearly someone else’s physician, someone else had requested the physician first, but the physician was snatched away. Human life really cannot be compared!”

“…This is clearly… bullying with power…”

“…What bullying with power… this is killing with power!”

Along with the gradually boiling atmosphere around them, the young woman let out a howl that was part crying, part laughing.

“Father! You died so miserably!” She looked up and wailed, kowtowing heavily on the ground. “Where is heavenly justice!”

With this forceful kowtowing, her head immediately broke and bled, making the scene even more tragic.

The onlookers could no longer restrain themselves.

“Who was that person! We won’t let him get away with this!”

“Right! This is murder! A life for a life!”

Soon such voices arose, and these voices grew more and more numerous.

Upon hearing these voices, the young woman prostrated on the ground in grief showed a smile at the corner of her mouth, then suddenly raised her head.

“It’s him!” She pointed over with her hand.

In an instant, all eyes looked over.

Chang Yuncheng still stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, expressionless.

So it was this man!

Indeed, thinking of his domineering behavior just now, he was indeed capable of such things!

“Could it be that only people like you can enter Qianjin Hall! Could it be that Qianjin Hall only saves the lives of people like you!” The young woman shouted loudly with grief and indignation. “Are our lives not lives?”

The scene immediately erupted in uproar.

So it wasn’t the divine physician who killed someone through treatment, but someone who seized the physician and caused death!
