The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 357: The Decline of Social Morals

Luo Jia slammed the table hard and stood up, angrily shouting, "Go now!"

So without any further handover, the group immediately headed to the Light Epidemic Area.

Yu Shikui didn’t say a word, though he was quite annoyed inside. He couldn’t get involved in this Wangshan Town affair.

Even now, the Imperial Physician has arrived, but sought out Shang Jingwang. He’s the Prefectural Governor, yet they seek out a Prefect instead? Isn’t it because Shang Jingwang reported to the Capital City first, so the Imperial Physician only knows him and not the Prefectural Governor himself?

He’s still holding onto this grievance.

However, he’s learned his lesson from the previous embarrassments. He knows when to step down, and when not, he’ll just watch the play!

Kong Tixin wanted to say a few words, but since Yu Shikui hadn’t spoken, he remained a mere spectator.

Shang Jingwang felt helpless, glancing at Xia Wenjin with some regret, as it was his lack of clear explanation that led to a young lady being aggrieved.

But he was truly without options; Luo Jia and company, relying on their superior medical skills, seniority, and being part of the Imperial Hospital, had quite an air of superiority, while Xia Wenjin was indeed quite young.

There’s a common misconception among people that the older one is, the more profound their medical expertise is. After all, healing and saving lives are built on accumulated experience.

Youth isn’t disregarded, but being too young inevitably leads to being underestimated.

Miss Xia was still very decent; she only directed these Imperial Physicians to see patients with mild symptoms, without leading them to the Severe Epidemic Area.

Shang Jingwang sighed; she should have led them to the Severe Epidemic Area. The conditions in the Light Epidemic Area are mild, so the Imperial Physicians quickly cure them, only to think Miss Xia indeed lacks real skills.

However, despite what he thought, Shang Jingwang could only lead them to the Light Epidemic Area.

Along the way, they encountered many patients, some of whom were on the mend, with others leaving that day. Seeing the group from afar, they bowed in greeting, their eyes showing admiration and respect.

They looked gentle, smiling warmly, kind and enthusiastic.

Luo Jia glanced at Shang Jingwang, seeing that he had no reaction at all.

Isn’t this attitude directed at Shang Jingwang?

Hmm, didn’t expect it. These villagers have some knowledge; recognizing they are Imperial Physicians, they greeted them with smiles.

These villagers are more courteous than that little girl!

Seeing waves of villagers bowing in greeting, showing respect and gratitude, Luo Jia calmly waved his hand, "No need for ceremonies, dear fellow villagers, no need!"

The other three Imperial Physicians also smiled and nodded.

The villagers looked curiously at the group in fine clothes; are these people not quite right in the head?

But, being older and appearing dignified, more impressive than the town head, the villagers preferred less trouble and moved on after greeting them.

On the way to the Light Epidemic Area, they encountered at least a dozen groups, each stopping from afar, bowing in greeting, and then leaving.

Luo Jia, satisfied, said to Shang Jingwang, "Lord Shang, your people are very polite. Although we haven’t identified ourselves, they greet us from afar. This indeed seems a land of manners, very good, very good!"

Shang Jingwang: "..."

He couldn’t expose the truth and had to accompany them with a smile: "Yes, yes..."

Upon reaching the Light Epidemic Area, some doctors were tending to patients. They didn’t immediately enter, instead watching from the entrance. From this view, they discerned some insights.

Though it’s the Light Epidemic Area, the doctors here seemed to have some expertise. Each played their part, organized and without chaos.

Moreover, judging by their conduct, their medical skills were not weak.

Especially the young man in gray, his techniques were unique, his words to patients brief but relevant, matching the symptoms seen from afar.

With such skill, if assessed, he could qualify for the Imperial Hospital. Plus, he seemed quite young, perhaps twenty-eight or twenty-nine? Likely under thirty.

The entrance was crowded, blocking the light, prompting both doctors and patients to turn and look over, then rising to salute!

Luo Jia stroked his beard, chuckling, "No need for ceremonies, no need!"

Several doctors gave Luo Jia and others a strange glance; the young man in gray approached, respectfully addressing Xia Wenjin, "Doctor Xia, four new mild cases arrived today, already placed in the east wing. Would you like to take a look?"

Before Xia Wenjin spoke, Luo Jia said, "Why ask? Lead the way quickly! We’re here to see those newly arrived patients."

This young man named Ying Feng came here for the reward, initially drawn by Silver, having high self-esteem and considering himself skilled, very arrogant.

But on his first day, he was soundly humbled by Xia Wenjin’s medical skills.

Since then, he respected only Xia Wenjin, especially upon learning Xia Wenjin wasn’t a boy but a young lady, he’s been all ears to her instructions.

Xia Wenjin saw him as diligent and intelligent, and his medical skills were decent, so she placed him in charge of the Light Epidemic Area.

Now, seeing several older folks bossing around, eyes raised above their heads, indifferent towards Doctor Xia, Ying Feng was displeased. Is this a place where anyone can meddle? This is an epidemic area, even if light, not for ordinary people to loiter.

He immediately frowned, saying, "Where did these old men come from? Do you know where this is? An epidemic area! You idlers shouldn’t obstruct here! Doctor Xia, want me to drive them away?"

Luo Jia: "..."

If earlier they believed the greetings were for them, they now sensed the oddity. Without identifying themselves, these people truly didn’t recognize them.

Seeing the crowd’s respect for Xia Wenjin, and recalling their earlier strange looks, even with a slow mind, they knew they made a glaring mistake.

Is the target of the greetings this young lady?

Most likely!

Luo Jia sneered internally, thinking this young lady’s family background must be impressive, even the doctors know?

Hmph, boasting under family protection, a young lady flaunting, truly a decline in modern morals!

His face immediately darkened.

Xia Wenjin didn’t even turn back, simply said, "Don’t mind them, lead the way!"

Ying Feng promptly responded loudly, "Alright!"

With such enthusiasm, if he had a tail, it would surely be wagging like a flower, while Luo Jia and the three Imperial Physicians’ faces weren’t pleasant.

Yet, they still held onto their pride; even if annoyed, they wouldn’t squabble with a young lady over such matters; too humiliating.
