Silence fell in the tent. Zheng Chengshou looked at the prescription that had reached Song Shuwan's hand, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Prince Princess, this recipe is..."
He said "yes" for a long time without saying the following words.
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she tore the prescription directly in front of Zheng Chengshou: "Master Zheng, I was foolish and gullible this time, but the emperor's reward is not something that your Zheng family can just get."
As soon as he finished speaking, a male voice came in from outside.
"I understand that the Crown Princess is shy because her skills are not as good as others, but for looking down on my Zheng family, the Crown Prince's vision is too shallow."
Zheng Yao and Zhong Rou appeared at the entrance of the tent, with arrogance on their faces. What they just said was what Zheng Yao said.
The wind blew into the tent from outside, bringing with it an indescribable heat.
Song Shuwan laughed angrily. Others didn't know what the recipe was like, but Zheng Yao didn't know. Now, who is the person who is condescending here to see the joke?
"I'm still complacent about stealing other people's prescriptions and showing off my power. I look around the entire capital and can't see anyone else. But trash is trash. No matter how much you steal, it's just vain. But for this credit, I say your Zheng family can't get it.
, your Zheng family just can’t get it.”
Zhong Rou laughed, half-covering her lips and said, "Sister, what you said is really interesting. You are not the emperor, how dare you say that we can't get the credit?"
"Oh, because she still wants to take my father's prescription as her own. It's a pity. I have already presented the prescription to the palace. The emperor was very happy when he saw the prescription and promised to reward it."
After Zheng Yao's words fell, the tent fell into silence for an instant. Before Song Shuwan could speak, Zheng Chengshou jumped up first.
He pointed at Zheng Yao and asked angrily: "When did you present the prescription to the emperor? How dare you do this?"
Zheng Yao curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "I submitted the prescription yesterday. The people in the capital are suffering from illness. The sooner the prescription is submitted, the sooner the people can recover. Dad, I am doing this for you."
For the sake of the common people, this is a good thing, but it is you who keep dragging the common people away. Isn’t this putting the common people to death?”
Zheng Chengshou covered his heart with one hand, and his body couldn't help but tremble: "You, you are talking nonsense. The Crown Princess and I kept the recipe just for the sake of the people. The recipe is not perfect yet, it is only half-finished."
What a recipe!"
Before Zheng Yao could say anything, Zhong Rou sneered: "What a half-baked recipe? If you want to make things easier for the Crown Princess, just say so. Why would you bother to lie to your son?"
Zheng Chengshou didn't expect this to happen at all, and he was stunned on the spot. Why did he want to make things easier for the Crown Princess? That prescription was made by the Crown Princess!
He was furious and told the matter, but Zhong Rou sneered: "If she did it, wouldn't it be reasonable to give it to my sister? Song Shuwan, Duke Xin's government has given you so much, and now this prescription
, the bento is your repayment."
Song Shuwan laughed angrily, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you that recipe..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a noise outside, followed by a group of people rushing over, blocking the tent tightly.
"Come out, Song Shuwan, come out to us!"
"What kind-hearted Crown Princess you are, you are an evil spirit who wants people's lives!"
"Song Shuwan, why do you stop others from treating us?"
"Get out of the west of the city, get out of the west of the city!"
Various voices were mixed together. Song Shuwan closed her eyes and opened them again. Her eyes were already cold: "Are you sure you want me to leave?"
As soon as she finished asking, an egg suddenly flew from the side. Song Shuwan was caught off guard and was hit. The egg liquid slid down her face, and the surroundings fell into silence.
Zhong Rou squinted her eyes slightly, covering up the feeling of relief, and said: "Why are you not sure? You have been here in the west of the city for so many days, but you have not been able to cure the patient. However, Zheng Yao came out with the prescription within one day.
Son, the emperor values the people, but that doesn’t mean the people can tolerate your trash, get out of here, the credit here has nothing to do with you!”
The people around him were still a little stunned, but after hearing this, the atmosphere became noisy again.
"Yes, this is the work of Dr. Zheng. It has nothing to do with you. Get out!"
"Get out, get out..."
All the words were reduced to three words. Song Shuwan grabbed her sleeves and wiped the egg liquid on her face bit by bit. She glanced around with her eyes without any fluctuation, turned around, and pushed Pei Huan, who had been silent, to leave.
After walking a few steps, Song Shuwan turned around again and said with a sneer: "Remember what you are saying now, and don't beg me again in the future."
After leaving the words, she left without looking back.
From the rear, Zheng Chengshou wanted to speak several times, but was blocked by Zheng Yao.
And Zhong Rou looked at the angry crowd, the corners of her mouth curled up little by little. It was not in vain that she specially found someone to smear Song Shuwan. No matter who took out the prescription, if the credit goes to Zheng Yao, it can only go to Zheng Yao.
On the way back to the Marquis Mansion, Pei Huan turned his head slightly. Even though he couldn't see it, he still pinpointed Song Shuwan's location accurately: "Aren't you going to fight for that recipe?"
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes, looked at her hand, and said lightly: "It's a useless prescription, why should I fight for it?"
Song Shuwan was really angry before, but when those patients made trouble, she calmed down. The few prescriptions she gave Zheng Chengshou were indeed effective for Jingzhong's illnesses, but the patients who took them never recovered, which meant that the prescriptions were not targeted at the illness.
.
Now, in order to gain credit, Zheng Yao directly presented the prescription to the emperor. Within two days, the emperor would surely pass on the prescription. But how could a useless prescription be used to cure a disease?
Zheng Yao and Zhong Rou are just waiting to shoot themselves in the foot this time.
As for those who chased her away...
Song Shuwan slightly raised the corners of her lips. She was not a temperless person: "They will come to beg me. They will kneel in front of the Hou Mansion and beg me to go back in a more humble manner."
Speaking of this, Song Shuwan thought of Pei Huan's strange appearance and couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Crown Prince appear there with Fang Zi?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "I entered the palace and heard the emperor mention the prescription, so I asked for one to give to you. Unexpectedly, I overheard the conversation between the two of you."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows slightly and cast a suspicious look on his face. Is this really the case?
Pei Huan smiled slightly, as if he didn't notice the sight next to him, and closed his eyes to rest.
The next day, someone spread the word about what happened in the west of the city, and the story about Song Shuwan wanting to take credit and dragging Fang Zi along also spread.
For a time, the entire capital was scolding Song Shuwan, and even Pei Huan lost her good reputation. What's more, they even threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in front of the Marquis's mansion.
Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou were so angry that they rushed to Qingfeng Courtyard with their servants and asked Song Shuwan to give an explanation.
"Pei Huan, I don't care how good your relationship is as newlyweds, but you must be responsible for the current situation of the Hou family!"
