“Alright, bring me the prescription that Yang Chengji prescribed.” Yin Chujin extended her hand to him. “If you don’t believe in my medical skills, there are many physicians in the capital. You can find more to ask.”

“Even if the prescription is correct, that old man might have grabbed the wrong medicine…”

“He just brewed the medicine at noon. The dregs are still there, right? They can still be tested.”

“Go… wait for my men… go and get it.” The green-robed man patted a servant and gestured for him to get it. At the same time, he gave him a look. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the servant returned with a bag of medicinal dregs and prescriptions.

Yin Chujin took it, opened the prescription, and asked Yang Chengji, “Is this your prescription?”

Yang Chengji took a closer look and nodded. “Yes, I prescribed it.”

Yin Chujin carefully identified the herbs on it and realized that they were all typhoid medicine. There was nothing wrong with them. She opened the bag of dregs and flipped her hand. Soon, she found the problem.

“Yang Chengji, when you prescribed the medicine and gave it to them, did you tell them to brew it for a little longer?”

“Yes.”

Yin Chujin nodded and turned to the green-robed man. “May I ask how long your servant brewed this medicine?”

“At least four hours!”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

“Very well.” Yin Chujin nodded in satisfaction under the veil. She picked at the medicinal dregs and opened her hand. There were small pieces of aconite in her palm. “Although aconite is a medicine, it’s very poisonous. There’s a lot of it here. You’ll be poisoned after taking it.”

“So I’m right. This old man mixed poison in the medicine.”

“Firstly, there’s no aconite on the prescription. Even if it’s misplaced, fine. You said that it’s been simmering for four hours, but these aconites are still intact and hard? Secondly, the symptoms of aconite poisoning: numbness, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, spasms, difficulty breathing, and so on. They’re different from the symptoms displayed by your servant,” Yin Chujin analyzed and explained to everyone.

Seeing that her words made sense, the man in green knew that he was in the wrong. His face darkened and he glared at Yin Chujin angrily. He muttered to himself, “You meddlesome woman, just you wait.”

“Let’s go!” The green-robed man waved at the servants and tried to leave under the criticism of the crowd.

“Wait!” Yin Chujin’s expression darkened as she stopped him. “You want to leave just like that after framing someone? Come and make a fuss, then you leave so easily after knowing that you’re in the wrong, can you come again on a whim next time?”

“B*tch, are you too bored? Why do you care so much about my business!”

The green-robed man glared at Yin Chujin fiercely. The other servants also stood behind him fiercely, as if they would attack her if she said another word.

Leng’er stood in front of Yin Chujin and held the long sword in her hand tightly.

Yin Chujin placed her hand on the back of Leng’er’s hand, signaling her not to be rash. Then, she walked out from behind Leng’er and looked at the man in green’s fierce face. “What if I insist on meddling in this matter?”

Yang Chengji whispered to her, “Miss, forget it. His family is rich and powerful. We commoners can’t beat him.”

“What does his family do?” Yin Chujin raised her eyebrows and asked disapprovingly.

“He’s Grand Preceptor Du’s nephew, Du Caijun. The county magistrate in the capital is his cousin,” Yang Chengji whispered to her.

“Oh? Officials taking care of each other?” Yin Chujin looked at Du Caijun mockingly. His name and appearance were not bad, but his character was really bad. She looked straight at him and questioned, “Why are you going against the Benevolence Hall? It’s quite convenient for you to get your servants to find aconite short period of time.”

Someone in the crowd muttered, “I heard that the owner of Myriad Medicine Workshop has a close relationship with the Du family.”

When Du Caijun heard this, he turned around and searched the crowd, but he could not find the person who spoke.

From his reaction, Yin Chujin knew the truth.

“Since your family has a close relationship with the largest medical center in the capital, the Myriad Medicine Workshop, and your servant caught a cold and wanted to get a doctor to treat him and prescribe medicine, instead of looking for the Myriad Medicine Workshop, you came to a small medical center like the Benevolence Hall and caused such a commotion. If you don’t explain clearly, can we assume that you have ulterior motives?” Yin Chujin pointed this out directly, causing Du Caijun’s face to instantly turn red.

“That… Myriad Medicine Workshop has been famous in the capital for a long time. There are many patients every day. I don’t think my servants need to trouble them with a small illness. Can’t he just be treated at a smaller medical center?”

“You can, but you can’t deliberately stir up such a thing!”

“B*tch, what do you want?”

“Everyone saw it. You were the one who was unreasonable first. What do you think you should do? Do you want to report it to the officials and face the court? With so many witnesses around, I want to see how your cousin will protect you!”

“You…”

“Miss, forget it.” Yang Chengji sighed from the side. He was afraid that if he offended Du Caijun, their Benevolence Hall’s life would be even more difficult in the future.

“If you leave it at that, the next time he comes to cause trouble, just wait for Benevolence Hall to close down!” Yin Chujin rolled her eyes at the old man and continued to confront Du Caijun.

“What do you want?”

“You should admit your mistake and apologize to Yang Chengji. In the future, please go to the Myriad Medicine Workshop for treatment. The small clinic in the Benevolence Hall can’t accept a Bodhisattva like you. By the way, I helped your servant treat his illness just now and saved his life. I even got medicine for him. My consultation fee is very high. It’s one thousand taels. After you apologize and pay the silver, you can get lost!”

“In your dreams! All of you, tear down the Benevolence Hall for me and take this woman away!” Du Caijun was so angry that he waved his hand at the servants behind him.

“Leng’er, I’ll leave it to you!” Yin Chujin retreated after saying that. In the next moment, Leng’er pulled out the sword in her hand. After two moves, all the servants were paralyzed. The tip of Leng’er’s sword was pointed at Du Caijun’s throat.

“Don’t… Don’t be rash… I apologize… Apologize… I’ll also pay the silver.” Du Caijun’s legs trembled as he looked at Leng’er. He avoided the tip of the sword and quickly took out a banknote worth a thousand taels. He held it up and said, “This… this is a banknote worth a thousand taels. Heroine, please… spare my life…”

Yin Chujin took a step forward and took the banknote from his hand. She looked at his embarrassed expression coldly. “Apologize!”

“Alright… alright…” Du Caijun nodded repeatedly. Then, seeing Leng’er put down the sword in her hand, he heaved a sigh of relief. Without thinking much, he immediately walked in front of Yang Chengji and forced a smile. “Yang Chengji, I’m really sorry about what happened today. I won’t dare to do it again in the future. Please forgive me!”

“Ah… Uh…” Yang Chengji nodded and looked at Yin Chujin helplessly.

“Scram!” Yin Chujin said coldly to Du Caijun.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Du Caijun bent his back and nodded. The next moment, he kicked the servants who were lying on the ground and howling. He said fiercely, “Get lost!”

In an instant, the group of people disappeared like a gust of wind.

The crowd began to stir. Some clapped and cheered, while others praised Yin Chujin’s medical skills…
