Chapter 215 Live up to the name
Yunwei also vaguely heard some negative comments about herself from the people in line.

However, she was focused on treating the people and didn't pay any attention to it.

However, Sang Qing and A Zheng couldn't hold back any longer.

The public's discussions are so loud, and their words are becoming increasingly outrageous.

The two grabbed the men who had been discussing the matter and were about to teach them a lesson when a dignified voice shouted, "Stop!"

When the two turned around and saw Rong Zhen, their expressions changed.

"Why has Master come?" Sang Qing realized what was happening and hurriedly went to greet him.

"What were you doing just now?" Rong Zhen asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Sang Qing immediately complained, "Those people cursed the county magistrate with such vile language! We just wanted to teach them a lesson. What kind of people are they? They don't understand the facts and just spout nonsense!"

Before Rong Zhen could speak, a commoner said, "What we're saying is true. That Princess Rong'an has done nothing for the people of Yangzhou, yet she dares to claim to be generous and loving towards the people. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"

"that is!"

"These kinds of people are just too hypocritical and selfish. On the contrary, those who actually do good deeds never want to make a fuss about it."

"You are all hypocritical and selfish! If you dare to slander Princess Rong'an again, get out!" Sang Qing was furious and shouted angrily.

"We're talking about the Lady of Rong'an County, what does that have to do with you? Why are you getting angry?" some villagers asked, puzzled.

"Because Princess Rong'an is..."

"Sang Qing, stop talking!" Rong Zhen interrupted him in a deep voice.

Sang Qing looked at him, puzzled. "But they're slandering the county princess..."

Rong Zhen pursed his thin lips and swept his stern gaze across the crowd. "What is the truth? How much do you know? Don't just parrot what others say!"

The people were startled when his gaze swept over them, and they instinctively took a few steps back.

"If I hear any of you slandering Princess Rong'an again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Rong Zhen warned in a deep voice.

The people were so intimidated by his aura that they dared not utter a sound.

After he left, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Who is he? Just now, when he looked into my eyes, my heart almost jumped out of my throat."

"Judging from his imposing air of nobility and the aura of authority he exudes, he must be some powerful figure in the capital," a commoner speculated.

When the powerful and influential people in Beijing are mentioned, everyone falls silent.

They were just ordinary people, and they couldn't afford to offend the powerful and wealthy.

The originally noisy scene instantly quieted down with Rong Zhen's arrival.

Yunwei, who was sitting under the shed treating the people, was unaware of this incident.

She was busy treating patients and had no time for anything else.

As night fell, after treating the last patient, she stepped out of the shed and discovered that Rong Zhen had arrived.

Seeing the man standing under the tree, she paused, surprised, and asked, "When did you get here?"

"I arrived this afternoon," Rong Zhen replied, then walked towards her. Noticing a few strands of hair slightly disheveled at her temples, he reached out and tidied them for her. "Are you tired?"

"A little." Yun Wei nodded, and even reached out to pinch her waist.

"I'll give you a massage when we get back." A smile flickered in Rong Zhen's dark eyes as he handed her the water pouch he was holding. "Have some hot water."

Yunwei took the drink, drank a few sips, and immediately felt much better. "By the way, you've been waiting for me here all afternoon, is there something you need?"

Rong Zhen paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes." "What is it?" Yun Wei asked.

After careful consideration, Rong Zhen told everyone about the unfavorable rumors circulating about her among the people.

Yun Wei wasn't very surprised. "I overheard some things this afternoon when I was doing free medical consultations for the people. Is this why you waited for me all afternoon?"

“I’m worried someone might cause trouble,” Rong Zhen said gently. Looking at the exhaustion on her face, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and his voice deepened slightly. “We can’t just let this go.”

Yun Wei was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood what he meant. "What do you want to do?"

“Reveal your identity as the owner of Qianjin Pavilion,” Rong Zhen said.

Yun Wei frowned slightly, then, as if realizing something, she looked him up and down. "Did the emperor use this matter to attack you again in court today?"

"No." Rong Zhen shook his head.

Yunwei didn't believe it. "Don't lie to me,"

Seeing that he could not hide it any longer, Rong Zhen had no choice but to say, "It is a small matter that they are attacking me, but the most important thing is that I don't want others to misunderstand you. You have done so many good things for the people, but they are completely unaware of it and even follow the crowd to curse you. I want to tell the truth so that everyone knows that you are truly worthy of the name."

Yunwei remained silent.

"No?" Rong Zhen's tone softened a bit upon seeing this.

Yunwei shook her head, took his hand and said, "It's not that it's impossible... I'm just thinking that I seem to be a burden to you. Next time, I will be more careful and try not to give others any leverage to attack you."

Seeing her apologetic expression, Rong Zhen flicked her forehead and said, "Even without you, they would have found something else to do to me. Don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. The fault lies with others."

Seeing his serious expression, Yunwei couldn't help but chuckle. "Okay, okay, I know. Don't be so serious."

"Is it alright to reveal your identity?" Rong Zhen asked.

“Hmm.” Yunwei nodded. “I didn’t want to go public before because I was afraid of trouble, but now that the Regent is backing me up, going public isn’t a big deal. Do whatever you want to do. If there’s anything you need Qianjin Pavilion to cooperate with, just let me know.”

Rong Zhen squeezed her fingers, looking down at her, "Not forcing me?"

"I won't force you," Yunwei said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Also, give me a few of Qianjintang's account books, preferably from Yangzhou."

Yun Wei nodded. "No problem."

Although it was a free clinic, Manager Ding would send her the account books from Yangzhou every now and then for her to review.

I remember exactly what medicinal herbs were used and how much it cost.

The two-day free clinic has come to an end. Yunwei originally wanted to treat the doctors to dinner tonight, but considering that everyone had worked hard these past two days and they probably wanted to go home and rest earlier, she decided to postpone the invitation to tomorrow.

Before the city gates closed, everyone packed up their belongings and returned to the city.

As usual, Yunwei went to the Regent's Palace for a meal.

They were still eating antique soup.

After finishing her meal, it was already quite late. She said goodbye to Rong Zhen and went back to rest.

After getting up early for two consecutive days and seeing so many patients, Yunwei was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

When she woke up, she saw that it was already bright outside. She was about to go back to sleep when Sang Qing's voice rang out from outside.

"Has the county princess woken up? My master sent me to fetch her to the palace."

Enter the palace?

Yunwei's lingering sleepiness vanished completely.
