"Xu~"

With a shout from the driver, the carriage slowly came to a stop.

Yu Shuyan and Yu Moyan got out of the car one after the other and stood at the entrance of a very small courtyard.

Yu Shuyan said softly:

"Brother, go inside. I believe that when you come out, your leg will be fully recovered."

After careful consideration, Yu Shuyan still felt that even if she wore a veil, it would be easy for her to give herself away if she went to Yu Moyan's house to perform acupuncture.

So she rented this courtyard. It wasn't expensive, but it was quiet. It suited her perfectly—a highly skilled, eccentric, and legendary female doctor.

It also allows her to freely switch identities without being recognized.

Yu Moyan had already heard her say that Lady Yuan disliked interacting with people, so she wouldn't accompany him inside. Therefore, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, you go back first. I'll go back by myself in a bit."

Then, he gently pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

Yu Shuyan looked at the driver, gave him some money, and instructed him:

"Go to the teahouse up ahead, have a cup of hot tea, wait for the young master to come out, and then take him home. I want to take a walk by myself, so don't worry about me."

The driver quickly took the money, thanked him profusely, and turned to leave.

Yu Shuyan looked around and, seeing no one, immediately went into the alleyway. She slipped into the courtyard through the side door.

She slipped inside, and a short while later...

A man and a woman, looking rather furtive, walked to the gate of the courtyard and peeked inside through the crack in the door.

Upon closer inspection, these two are none other than Hong Gu, the woman who framed Yu's Pharmacy, and her lover, Wu Youcai, who was faking his death.

They were all insignificant people, and since the head constable had accepted Wen Lang's bribe, he quickly and quietly released them.

When Ouyang Feng heard about this, he was furious that a goddess-like doctor had suddenly appeared and stolen his thunder.

Although Wen Lang had warned him not to act rashly for the time being.

But he couldn't stand this insult, so he kept thinking about how to teach this arrogant woman who dared to oppose him a lesson.

He heard that this woman had actually boasted that she would cure Yu Moyan, that cripple.

He then had a wicked idea:

After she treated Yu Moyan, Yu Moyan not only failed to recover, but also died on the spot.

Then, not only will her reputation as a miracle doctor be a joke, but she will also be beheaded for disregarding human life.

Therefore, he instructed Hong Gu and Wu Youcai to keep an eye on Yu Moyan.

As long as he discovers that Yuan Niangzi is treating his illness, he will do as she says.

Wu Youcai touched the medicine bottle on his chest and looked at Hong Gu with a grin:

"My lady, we've all witnessed the skills of that Lady Yuan. Could she really cure Yu Moyan, that cripple?"

Hong Gu gave a mocking sneer:

"What good is it if he can be cured? We'll send him to his death right away. He lost his life for a leg. Sigh, Yu Moyan is really unlucky."

Wu Youcai also smiled lewdly, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he said:

"But if that Lady Yuan is truly a divine physician, could she possibly cure the boss's poison?"

Hong Gu, however, spat out:

"She's so capable. Our boss's poison is so deadly, even a god couldn't save him. Even if she's somewhat skilled, she's just a doctor, not a god!"

Wu Youcai nodded with a smile:

"Yes, yes, my wife is right. So, shall we now...?"

Hong Gu glanced at the street in the distance and smiled:

"Let's go and attract some people over first. Otherwise, things will get complicated."

Wu Yongcai nodded in understanding:

"Alright, I really want to see how that arrogant Lady Yuan will cry in a bit!"

The two deliberately walked to the side of the street, pointed to the small courtyard, and began their performance.

Hong Gu feigned surprise and said:

"Oh my, have you heard? That goddess-like healer, Lady Yuan, is treating the Yu family's young master's leg. He's been crippled for so many years, can he really recover completely?"

Wu Youcai also wore a surprised expression:

"Are you talking about that legendary healer, Lady Yuan, who cured Dean Bai's son?"

Hong Gu nodded:

"Yes, yes. But I heard that Dean Bai's son, the renowned physician Ouyang Feng, has already given him the pills. Although Physician Ouyang hasn't come to treat patients in person, everyone knows that his medicine is incredibly effective."

Soon, passersby began to gather around.

Seeing that more and more people had gathered, Wu Youcai became even more eager to sell:

"Oh dear, so that means that Dean Bai's son's recovery might be due to the effectiveness of Doctor Ouyang's medicine. As for that Yuan Niangzi, she just happened to get lucky and benefited from Doctor Ouyang's good fortune."

The onlookers also began to nod in agreement:

“I see. We also found it strange. How could a woman, who we heard was quite young, have such high medical skills?”

"Yes, it seems very likely that we benefited from Doctor Ouyang's influence."

"Oh, I see. That woman is really shameless."

"I was even thinking of going to Yu's Pharmacy to see her for treatment. Now it seems I'm glad I didn't go, otherwise I would have been scammed."

Hong Gu nodded hurriedly:

"Oh dear, you're all right. Do you think it's possible that Yu's Pharmacy and this female swindler are working together to trick everyone into going to Yu's Pharmacy for treatment? After all, Yu's Pharmacy has always had a lukewarm business."

Her reminder made everyone even more convinced that this was indeed the case:

"Yes, if that's the case, then the Yu family pharmacy is utterly shameless."

"If we can catch this female swindler, we'll be rid of a scourge for the people."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Wu Youcai quickly said:

"I heard that this so-called goddess doctor is going to treat Yu Moyan's leg today. Let's go see if it's just a gimmick. If she can't cure it, then we can be sure she's a female fraud. We can't let such a fraud get away with it."

The sense of justice among the onlookers was immediately aroused, and they all expressed their willingness to rid the people of this scourge.

Hong Gu pointed to the small courtyard at the opportune moment:

"That's Lady Yuan's courtyard. Yu Moyan is receiving treatment there right now. Let's go together and see what's going on!"

The crowd instantly perked up, their sense of justice surging, and they rushed toward the courtyard.

After exchanging a cold and smug look, Hong Gu and Wu Youcai followed the crowd.
