1173 Feeling Good for the First Time (1/2)
”No… No… Please forgive me, Elder Wenren… Have mercy…”
The noblewoman cried, her face was green and covered in snot.
Even nobles were separated into different ranks. This noblewoman may be able to show off in front of outsiders but not in front of Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao. To them, she was just another ordinary person.
She had no way of fighting back. And those who were of the same rank as she was kept their mouths shut. They did not care if she lived or died.
”Do as Elder Wenren said!” Dong Zhuo said coldly.
The two men in chang pao continued to drag her out.
The expression on Wenren Jinghao's face did not change.
He spoke on behalf of the people who were gossiping because he was kind.
But he did not feel sorry for that noblewoman because he would not have become the Northern Wilderness Temple Elder if he was only kind!
”Go outside, all of you! And continue to hit yourself! Let's not cause any more trouble in here!” Dong Zhuo addressed the nobles, impatient.
”Yes, yes, yes…”
Who would dare say another word?
Gu Congwen stayed back, his eyes still glued on Chen Xiaobei. This old man was obviously trying to use his relationship with Chen Xiaobei to warm up to Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao.
Chen Xiaobei looked away, acting as if he did not know Gu Congwen.
Gu Congwen felt a prick but he could not say anything. He was the one who pretended not to know Chen Xiaobei in the first place. After which, Chen Xiaobei had helped him get out of slapping himself 100 hundred times.
When Gu Congwen realized then, he left the restaurant with his head down.
He had missed a major opportunity to snuggle up to the governor. If he had known that it would turn out like this, he would not have pretended not to know Chen Xiaobei.
He would have to curry favor from Chen Xiaobei more the next time, Gu Congwen decided as he walked away.
...
”Qing'er, what happened?” Why are you all wet?” Dong Zhuo asked, looking concerned.
”How are you, governor. I'm fine. I will go get another bowl of water!”
Wenren Qing'er did not want to explain. All that commotion had taken up so much time that Ms. Wenren was still not tended to.
”Get hot water? Why don't you just get the workers to do it?”
”Because of the rumor, Violet Bamboo Restaurant workers refused to listen to me. I don't have time to explain! I have to go!”
Qing'er quickly picked up the metal basin and turned to leave.
”Don't go. Let me try. I mean it!” Chen Xiaobei stood up and said, ”Hot water is useless to treat Ms. Wenren's sickness!”
”What do you want to try?” Dong Zhuo asked.
Qing'er also looked doubtful.
Wenren Jinghao replied, ”This young man claims to be a Chinese doctor. He said he could treat Muyue.”
”Treat? How is that possible?”
Both Dong Zhuo and Wenren Qing'er looked surprised and cynical.
In Northern Wilderness Starfield, Doctors were one of the most respected careers. Of which of those famous doctors did not have white hair and silver beards?
This kid did not even have a single strand of hair on his chin. Even he had some medical knowledge, it would be very limited.
More so, even the Temple-ordained doctors were unable to treat Wenren Muyue, not a doctor in Northern Wilderness Starfield had a clue as to how to tackle her illness.
How could an inexperienced young thing treat her?
