Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1963 Consultation Fee

Before these people could come up with a countermeasure, they heard a creaking sound and the door of the charity hall was opened again. Wan Shufang, with a thin layer of sweat on her face, handed the prescription in her hand to Li Yao.

"Follow the prescription and gather all the herbs and send them over." After saying that, she walked towards the crowd step by step, stood on the steps, and looked down at the people from the Li family.

Wan Shufang's eyes were too sharp, and those people trembled and turned their heads away involuntarily, not daring to look her in the eye. Seeing them like this, Wan Shufang sneered and said, "I can save him, but I will never save an ungrateful person."

The clear and pleasant voice echoed all around. Although the tone was gentle, the words spoken carried a seriousness that made people afraid to offend.

Looking at the silence below, Wan Shufang smiled, changed the subject, and turned her white hands upwards.

"Besides, I have just saved him once, so your Li family should pay the medical fee. After paying the medical fee, he is still my patient. If he wants to stay alive, you need five hundred taels, not a penny less." As she said that, she waved to a few people and blatantly asked for the medical fee.

The medical fee of five hundred taels really scared everyone present. There was a lot of discussion all around, saying that the Li family was heartless and had actually embezzled so much money from Wan Shufang.

The Li family members were so embarrassed that their faces turned red, not because of shame, but because of anger. They pointed at Wan Shufang with trembling hands and said, "Wan Shufang, you are shameless!"

"Five hundred taels, you dare to ask for it? I think you came to Guiyun Town just to defraud people!"

The people of the Li family were glaring with anger. Wan Shufang's request for five hundred taels was a threat to their lives. At this moment, several of them wished they could skin Wan Shufang alive.

But looking at the guards around Wan Shufang, they did not dare to act rashly. They all shrank back and could only hide in the crowd and curse.

Listening to the abuse, Wan Shufang's face turned cold, she waved her hands, and spoke calmly.

"Come, let's see you off."

Soon, several guards rushed forward, and the crowd spontaneously made way for them. Seeing that they were exposed, several people panicked instantly and ran away, disappearing in a flash, leaving only a curse.

"Wan Shufang, you are a vicious woman. You will be punished."

"You will not die well."

The Li family members ran away cursing, their figures gradually disappearing at the end of the street. Watching them go away, Wan Shufang rubbed her brows tiredly. The continuous treatment had exhausted her.

Seeing the fatigue on her face, Chen Changli quickly stepped forward and held her in his arms: "Shufang, go back and rest for a while. When the herbs are gathered, come back to treat her."

"Just rest in the charity hall. If I'm right, those people will come again later. The five hundred taels will just be used to buy medicine for the charity hall."

Wan Shufang curled the corners of her lips, her body softened, and she let Chen Changli carry her into the house. The two went to Caixia's room. Perhaps because she was too tired, she lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.

At this time, the Li family also returned home and repeated what Wan Shufang said outside the charity hall. On the hospital bed, housekeeper Li's face was pale and he started coughing violently.

"Cough, cough, cough..." He gasped weakly, his chest filled with a pain like a slow slicing of flesh and blood: "Five hundred taels, Wan Shufang, she is simply taking advantage of the situation to rob."

"Father, it's more than five hundred taels. She also wants what you originally promised her." Butler Li's son gritted his teeth, his eyes full of disgust for Wan Shufang.

As soon as these words were spoken, Butler Li started coughing again. His eyes rolled back and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, which scared the entire Li family into chaos.

"Father!"

"Father!"

Several children spoke in unison and looked at Butler Li worriedly.

"Father, you are coughing up blood. We can't delay any longer. Wan Shufang is the only one who can save you. The sky-high medical fee... I can give it to her even if I grit my teeth."

Hearing this, Butler Li subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the instinct for survival made him stop talking. He covered his chest and nodded gently.

His body felt as if it was burning in fire. Butler Li gritted his teeth and finally gave in.

"Go and ask her to come back."

"Yes, father."

The Li family hurriedly took the five hundred taels and returned to the charity hall. At this moment, Wan Shufang was sleeping soundly, so Chen Changli held her down and waited until the evening when Wan Shufang woke up before he accepted the Li family's medical fee and went out to see the patient.

When she saw Butler Li again, his face was extremely pale, like a dying man. Seeing this, Wan Shufang frowned and reached out to feel his pulse.

Then he took out a pill and fed it to him. After the man had regained some energy, Wan Shufang said, "Your illness has been going on for some time and is deeply rooted. You need to take the pills for five consecutive days before you can recover."

"Thank you, Madam Chen." Butler Li thanked her weakly. Looking at Wan Shufang, he knew that he could not live without her medicine, so he could only bow his head and apologize: "Madam Chen, I was wrong before and did not keep my promise. I apologize to you."

"You don't have to apologize. You can just fulfill your promise now. Tell me about the account book."

After hearing what the two said, Chen Changli drove everyone else out of the house. When only the three of them were left inside, he signaled Butler Li to continue.

Seeing this, Butler Li took a deep breath and said softly, "I can tell you about the account book, but I don't want to be your witness. After all, the Chen family is my employer and has done me a favor."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded. She had no intention of forcing Butler Li to be a witness. She knew the account book only to have a breakthrough in the investigation.

Seeing that Wan Shufang agreed, Butler Li no longer had any concerns and told her everything about the account book.

"As for the account book, the master wanted to make Young Master Chen Qingshan stop gambling and make progress, so he used the excuse that the family was poor and forged two account books."

"Is it that simple?" Wan Shufang was a little surprised. Seeing Butler Li nodded, she remained silent. She didn't expect that Chen Dafu forged the account book in the beginning not to escape the crime, but to reform his son.

Seeing that Butler Li didn't seem to be lying, Wan Shufang stopped worrying about it.

"Okay, I got it. I'll have someone deliver the medicine on time. You should have a good rest." After giving a few instructions, she left the Li family and went back to the Charity Hall with Chen Changli.

Chen Changli also heard the conversation between Wan Shufang and Butler Li. On the way back, the two of them didn't say much and were just thinking about countermeasures.

Soon, Wan Shufang had a flash of inspiration and suddenly came up with a solution. She grabbed Chen Changli's wrist and said urgently, "Changli, since it's a problem with the account book, maybe we can start with the accountant."

After hearing this, Chen Changli was silent for a moment, and he also felt that it made sense.

"Okay, I'll have someone check on the Chen family's accountant right away." As he spoke, Chen Changli called the secret guard and gave the order.

Not long after, the secret guards thoroughly investigated the accountant and brought the news to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.

"Master, the accountant of the Chen family is an orphan. He has a clean family background and a beautiful wife. He loves her very much."
