Chapter 348 You're actually sick!
Dr. Hong's old face turned bright red. He never expected that he would be defeated by a young man, no, a young girl!
This is simply unreasonable!
He closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty, "It was my misdiagnosis. Miss Jiang is not ill."
Lu Yangyang raised her voice and said, "Then Dr. Hong must remember this in the future: when making a diagnosis, you must be realistic and not ruin a person's life because of a momentary lapse in judgment."
"I have learned from you," Doctor Hong said, enunciating each word clearly.
With Dr. Hong's personal testimony, coupled with what Liu Xiang had just said, everyone's gaze towards Jiang Zhiyi turned to pity.
"Alas, this Jiang family girl is really unlucky. She is clearly a young lady from a high-class family, but she has encountered such a thing, married such a family, and also encountered a quack doctor."
"Who says otherwise? This young master Yang is really something else. I never imagined that a well-dressed young man like him would do such disgusting things behind the scenes. He calls himself a scholar, but he's probably just wasting his time!"
"Fortunately, the truth has come to light now. It is common for women in our Great Zhao to remarry. Miss Jiang will surely meet a better husband in the future!"
"However, I will never dare to see Dr. Hong again. Of all things to misdiagnose, misdiagnosing a venereal disease is the worst thing you can do. A single sentence can kill a person!"
"..."
Hearing these comments about him, Dr. Hong felt dizzy and couldn't stay any longer. He left without looking back, and some people couldn't help but throw rotten vegetable leaves at him.
Dr. Hong had never been so embarrassed in his life; he couldn't even lift his face.
With Dr. Hong gone, the venereal disease scandal came to a complete end, and the onlookers began to disperse. Jiang Xun shouted at the soldiers, "Listen to my orders! Seal off the Yang family's property, collect evidence, and make sure to thoroughly investigate the source of the Yang family's money, leaving no stone unturned!"
Upon receiving the order, the officers and soldiers immediately stormed into the Yang residence.
Madam Zhang rushed forward to stop them, shouting at the top of her lungs, "What do you want to do? What right do you have to search our house? Are you bullying us, a widow and her orphan? Do you think the Yang family has no one left?"
Jiang Xun sneered, not looking at Madam Zhang, but at Yang Chengfeng: "Yang Chengfeng, His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation into the source of the Yang family's funds. You'd better cooperate obediently, otherwise, the next one to investigate you will be the Dali Temple."
Yang Chengfeng's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
He had initially thought Jiang Xun was just bluffing, merely seeking justice for Jiang Zhiyi, but he never expected the matter to actually attract the attention of the capital. It's all over, completely over.
He subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhiyi, then crawled on his knees toward her: "Zhiyi, Zhiyi, please help me, please help me! We've been engaged for so many years, and we've only just gotten married. You can't just abandon me like this. Yiyi, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I swear, I will treat you well from now on. I will never touch those people again. Please forgive me, Yiyi!"
Jiang Zhiyi didn't even glance at Yang Chengfeng. Just as Yang Chengfeng's hand was about to grab the hem of her dress, she moved away, saying, "You'd better watch yourself."
Then he said to Lu Yangyang, "Let's go."
Lu Yangyang gave Wen Qingqing a wink.
As Wen Qingqing passed by Yang Chengfeng, she bent down and whispered, "Actually, I lied to Doctor Hong just now. You do have syphilis. Before, you were lucky that it wasn't serious, but now... you know."
After saying that, Wen Qingqing ran away satisfied, her gaze fixed on Yang Chengfeng's ever-widening pupils.
After the others had walked away, Yang Chengfeng suddenly started screaming like a madman: "Ah—ah—ah—"
……
Inside a private room in a teahouse.
Lu Yangyang, Wen Qingqing, and Jiang Zhiyi sat at the table, and Jiang Zhiyi was serving tea to the two of them.
Liu Xiang told the maid to wait outside, then walked in and knelt down with a thud, her eyes blurry with tears: "Miss Jiang, I have already come out to expose Young Master Yang as you instructed, and I have told you everything I know. Now, can you keep your promise and cure my illness?"
Liu Xiang lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, biting her lip tightly to keep herself from crying too loudly.
She came from a tragic background, sold to a brothel by her family who favored boys over girls. Originally, meeting Yang Chengfeng was like meeting a good man. Yang Chengfeng even promised to take her as a concubine after marriage. At that time, she was genuinely happy every day. She even prayed that her future mistress, Miss Jiang, would not be too difficult to get along with, and hoped that Miss Jiang would get pregnant soon, so that she could keep the child in her womb.
Joy can accumulate over time, but collapse can happen in an instant.
Suddenly, someone from the Yang family came and said that Yang Chengfeng didn't want her anymore and wanted to cut ties with her completely. She immediately felt that something was wrong. A few days later, she started to feel unwell in her stomach. She thought that she might miscarry because of the shock. However, when she consulted a doctor she knew, he diagnosed her with venereal disease and said that the fetus was too weak to be saved.
She was completely dumbfounded. Having grown up in a brothel, how could she not know what venereal disease was? Countless women in the brothel had died from it, and there was no cure. She had gone to great lengths to get involved with Yang Chengfeng, simply wanting to live a clean life, but she never expected that good days would come before her death.
At this time, Jiang Xun came to find her, investigating Yang Chengfeng's affairs and asking her to cooperate in causing a scene at the Yang family's residence to escalate the matter. He promised to help her redeem herself afterward. She had received favors from Yang Chengfeng over the years and initially didn't want to agree, but she was already a wretched person, and staying at the brothel would only mean waiting to die. The brothel dealt with girls suffering from venereal disease in different ways. The lucky ones were sent to a charitable institution to die in a corner, while those with milder symptoms were sent to tents in the mines to sleep in for free for the miners. Most of these miners were death row inmates, living hand to mouth and not caring whether the girls were sick or not.
She didn't want to live that kind of life, so she agreed to Jiang Xun's request and cooperated with him to cause a scene at the Yang family's house.
A few days later, just as the doctor had predicted, she miscarried, and her health collapsed. She had completely lost hope and was only waiting for Jiang Xun to keep his promise to redeem her so that she could find a clean place to die.
But to her utter surprise, the missing Miss Jiang reappeared, saying she could cure her illness, but she had to stand up and publicly testify against Yang Chengfeng. She agreed without a second thought, but she still can't believe it's true. Is there really any hope for her?
Who wants to die if he can live?
For someone like her, struggling at the bottom of society, what could be more important than living?
She waited quietly, not daring to raise her head, not daring to make a sound, not daring to offend those nobles, only hoping that they could give her a little bit of pity.
Lu Yangyang got up and walked over, bending down to help her up.
"stand up."
