Sure enough, after taking care of her silly dog, Liu Shimei began to speak slowly, saying, “Let me exin.”
The teacup was gently ced on the table, making a light clinking sound.
She spoke unhurriedly, cleared her throat, and said, “The first rule, of course, is based on mutual consent. I won’t make house calls. From now on, anyone needing medical treatment muste to me in person.”
As she spoke, she looked at Madam Miao and continued, “I treat all the patients in the entire Imperial Capital this way, without any special exceptions. Madam Miao, do you have any objections?”
In the past few days, they had sent people multiple times to invite her for consultations, but Liu Shimei had declined each time.
Therefore, since Madam Miao hade to her door today, she naturally couldn’t have any objections. She gritted her teeth and said, “This rule is eptable!”
It seemed like there was something she disagreed with below!
Liu Shimei didn’t remind her that it wasn’t just this rule, but all the rules that she must agree to. If she let the other party have an easy way out, wouldn’t she be betraying herself?
She had to treat the patients; otherwise, if the Miao family made a fuss, she would be med.
But—
How to treat, how much to charge, everything had to follow her rules!
She said lightly, “The second rule: all my patients must follow my treatment methods. For someone like Madam Miao, it’s certain that her condition isn’t unique; it requires all the concubines of Duke An toe to me for systematic treatment. Otherwise, if only one person is cured, they will eventually be infected again. It would tarnish my reputation, and that’s not worth the risk!”
She looked at Madam Miao and said, “Madam Miao, if you cannot convince Duke An to bring his other concubines with him, I’m sorry, but I won’t receive you!”
“This is reasonable.” Madam Miao thought that no matter how indifferent she was to the lives of other concubines, Duke An wouldn’t stop seeking thepany of his mistresses. If he didn’t, her illness wouldn’t be cured!
She had to endure it!
But then, she pointed at the third use and asked, “What does this mean? Am I supposed to be a living advertisement?”
“Madam Miao,” Liu Shimei replied with a polite smile, neither warm nor cold. “Let me exin why this use is necessary.”
Her gaze shifted from Madam Miao’s face to the face of Miss Miao Linglong and she continued, “Miss Miao, I remember very clearly, thest time you came to my door seeking medical help was on May 16th! Did I not agree without any hesitation and immediately prepare to apany you home?”
Miao Linglong knew that Liu Shimei’s words were setting a trap for her, but she had no choice but to answer, “Yes.”
Liu Shimei nodded and then asked, “After going to the Miao Residence, after checking your pulse and inquiring about some basic details, did I not, despite the filth and the possibility of Madam Miao’s contagious disease, still prepare to examine Madam Miao immediately?”
Honestly, Miao Linglong thought that she wouldn’t be able to endure the kind of examination Liu Shimei was talking about.
For the person being examined, it was embarrassing.
But for the one conducting the examination in that particr area, it was indeed dirty!
Miao Linglong’s face didn’t look too good as she replied, “Yes.”
Liu Shimei sneered, “So here’s the problem! Not only did Madam Miao refuse to cooperate, but she also mocked me, subjecting me to humiliation! Wasn’t I treated unfairly for no reason?”
This was the crux of the matter!
Liu Shimei had been humiliated at Duke An’s Residence, and now that Madam Miao hade begging for help, she naturally intended to reim her dignity!
People say to be proud of one’s talents and aplishments. Liu Shimei had this ability, so why shouldn’t she be proud?
Wasn’t it easy for her to handle situations like this?
