Chapter 468 Su Xiaoxiao Refuses Bribery

Su Xiaoxiao spoke very politely, but this woman was also quite vengeful.

As she spoke, she glanced back at the old men behind her, "They're still better than those quack doctors who take the government's salary but only know how to swindle money."

After saying this, Su Xiaoxiao gave a provocative glance to the group of old men who were standing beside her, stunned by her words.

Those old quack doctors were speechless. They felt so ashamed that if there were a crack in the ground, they would crawl into it immediately and never come out to embarrass themselves again.

They initially thought Su Xiaoxiao was just fooling around, but she actually cured Liu Mang's nearly twenty-year-old ailment completely. Where could they go to reason with her? These old traditional Chinese medicine doctors were all experts who had treated the emperor himself; how could they have been defeated by a mere young girl? They simply couldn't understand it.

Seeing her son's remarkable recovery, Mrs. Zhang realized that her previous belief in so-called quack doctors was nothing but self-deception.

It's too late for regrets now. My own actions delayed my son's treatment, which is why it's dragged on for so long.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't go over to mock these old quacks anymore, as the facts had already proven that they were indeed quacks.

Amidst everyone's shock, Su Xiaoxiao walked up to Young Master Liu Mang. "I see your condition is fine for now. I'll prescribe another dose of traditional Chinese medicine for you. Remember to take it on time, and don't overthink things, especially not that kind of thing. Also, don't eat spicy food!"

Young Master Liu Mang nodded quickly, "It seems you'll recover in a while."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Miss Su, I really have to thank you this time. We were a little rude before, please forgive us."

Then, Madam Zhang gave a wink to the servants, and a servant carried in a large box. Su Xiaoxiao didn't need to look to know that the box must contain silver.

Sure enough, when the box was opened, Su Xiaoxiao saw that there were about one hundred taels of silver inside.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been tempted by it long ago.

However, Su Xiaoxiao's real purpose in curing Liu Mang's illness was not this.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded to Madam Zhang, directly refusing the gift.

Madam Zhang immediately understood that the child must think it was too little.

As I said before, as long as Su Xiaoxiao can cure my son's illness, I would give anything, even if it means going bankrupt.

Madam Zhang beckoned to the servants again, and then saw someone carry in a large box from outside, which was noticeably heavier this time.

Once the box was opened, inside there was not only white silver, but also a layer of glittering gold, which was quite valuable.

No matter who it is, wouldn't be tempted by a box full of glittering gold? In ancient times, gold could be used directly as money, just like suddenly opening a box full of hundred-dollar bills in front of you.

How could you not be tempted? Your heart would practically race.

When Madam Zhang saw that Su Xiaoxiao was still unmoved, she was about to give up. Wasn't she satisfied yet?

She said she could go bankrupt, but she wouldn't be willing to empty her family's coffers, would she?

Su Xiaoxiao quickly clasped her hands in a fist salute to Madam Zhang and said, "Actually, my purpose is not about money. I just have one request." Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang immediately said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Dr. Su, please just say what you need, and I will definitely grant it."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and then recounted all the unfortunate things that had happened to her in the past few days.

It seems the owner of Tianji Grocery Store came to harass her and seek revenge. Because of this, she's been living in constant fear and has even hired bodyguards, which has caused a lot of inconvenience to Su Xiaoxiao's life.

The owner of Tianji General Store and Minister Liu had ulterior motives. In fact, those in the know understood that Minister Liu was behind it all.

However, judging from Madam Zhang's eyes, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be able to tell that she had nothing to do with this matter and was unaware of it.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say much, but hinted that Madam Zhang might be able to help resolve this problem.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang called over her attendant and whispered a few words in his ear. Then she turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Su Xiaoxiao probably guessed that Madam Zhang must also know about the owner of Tianji Grocery Store.

So this matter wasn't difficult for her; she could simply tell him not to bother Su Xiaoxiao anymore. If he dared to continue doing so, Minister Liu wouldn't forgive him either.

Besides, this matter can be repaid for Su Xiaoxiao's great favor with just a few words and without spending any money, so why not?

Although Madam Zhang still wanted Su Xiaoxiao to take the money with her, Su Xiaoxiao insisted on not taking it and left with Qian Musheng instead.

His dashing demeanor truly made those quack doctors present feel even more ashamed of themselves.

The old imperial physician, who looked down on Su Xiaoxiao the most, chased after her from the mansion to the outside. Although his voice was timid, he still bravely called out to Su Xiaoxiao, "Miss Su, please take care."

Hearing someone call her from behind, Su Xiaoxiao turned around, somewhat confused, and saw the old man coming to her side with great sincerity, even a little out of breath.

What brings you here?

“Ms. Su, it’s like this. I have been practicing medicine for decades, and this is truly the first time I have met a doctor as skilled as you. I am really sorry for my previous mockery of you.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating that those were all things of the past.

Although he cured Liu Mang's illness, it didn't mean he was particularly skilled; it was probably just luck.

"You flatter me. I'm really not that great!"

The old man quickly shook his head, cupped his hands towards Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "Actually, I was deeply impressed by your medical skills today, Miss Su. My name is Xu Zhou Shang, and I am a royal physician. I wonder if Miss Su could come back to my residence with me and study medicine together?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately understood.

"This must mean he wants me to come back to his mansion with him and study medicine together. He wants me to join his ranks and work with him."

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that this was an attempt to get her to work for him, and that if she really made a name for herself in the future, she would be used as a tool by him.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid; she couldn't agree to this Physician Xu's request.
