Chapter 109 - 109: Su Yurou Is a Sinister Person
“Thank you for saving us, Dr. Su. My daughter and I are incredibly grateful!”
“General Lin, please rise,” Su Yingxue replied with a benevolent smile. “As a doctor, I must treat and save people. However, for both of you to recover from your illnesses, besides taking medicine, you must pay attention to various aspects of your daily life.”
Su Yingxue provided them with two sets of instructions. One was a prescription for medication, and the other contained guidance on how to regulate their lifestyle, including rest, diet, and learning to control their emotions and temper.
She believed that if they diligently followed her advice, taking the medicine and improving their temperament, their health would significantly improve, and they could avoid early death, at least not dying before the age of forty.
Lin Aotian and his daughter bowed deeply to Su Yingxue again. Lin Sisi’s fiery temper had changed. In front of Su Yingxue, she spoke softly, “Dr. Su, please forgive me for my previous behavior. I don’t want to die early, so I promise not to whip people easily in the future.”
Su Yingxue nodded reassuringly. “Take good care of yourself, and your health will not be a problem. As for this whip…”
Su Yingxue returned the whip she had thrown aside earlier.
Lin Sisi, who had never parted with her beloved whip, felt a hint of fear upon seeing it again. “1 don’t want it anymore! I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control myself and will end up wanting to hit others again…”
As she said that, a wave of impatience surged in Lin Sisi’s heart. In the past, she did not know how to control her temper at all. She was like a firecracker that would be ignited at the slightest point. She would randomly whip anyone, so she did not have a single friend since she was young.
She seemed to be self-reliant and trained in martial arts, but she was inferior.
Because of her face, she was often laughed at by those noble ladies, so she used the whip to teach them a lesson. However, the effect was even worse. They feared her and hated her even more.
But now… Her face could be cured, and her illness could be treated. She no longer wanted to be a tyrant who wielded a whip all the time.
Su Yingxue decided to keep the whip for the time being. “In that case, I’ll hold onto the whip until you can control your temper and refrain from anger. Once you’ve achieved that, you can come to reclaim it.”
“There’s no need. I’ll give this whip to Dr. Su. It’s a red jade soft whip bestowed by the emperor, and the red jade used as the handle is unique and precious.” Lin Sisi spoke with great valor.
Although she was reluctant, she realized her life was more valuable.
Observing the rare red jade handle, Su Yingxue chuckled softly. “In that case, I won’t be able to accept any more consultation fees from you.”
“No, we must pay the consultation fee! I’ll reward Dr. Su with ten times the standard fee!” Lin Aotian insisted, cupping his hands respectfully.
“No need for that. I treat all patients equally, not just the wealthy and noble. 1 only charge the regular fee. General Lin, you can pay the standard fee at the counter,” Su Yingxue replied calmly.
Lin Aotian and his daughter admired Su Yingxue even more.
Before leaving, Lin Sisi cast a reproachful glance at Su Yurou. “You’re too cunning. Dr. Su is undoubtedly a genius doctor, but you deceived me by saying that her reputation is unfounded. You even asked me to teach her a lesson. Luckily, Dr. Su is skilled. Otherwise, 1 might have injured her accidentally!”
As Lin Sisi spoke, everyone focused their disapproving gaze on Su Yurou.
Instantly feeling the weight of everyone’s disdain, Su Yurou’s eyes turned red as she tried to defend herself gently and delicately. “Sisi, how can you say that? I was concerned about your illness, and I thought about our sister’s ongoing consultation. 1 wanted her to treat your illness and improve her reputation. It would have been beneficial for both of you. I had no other intentions….”
