Bai Banxia's voice has never been sweet, her voice is slightly low, with a bit of sassiness and sternness. When she spoke like this, the women in the room became silent and did not dare to cry.
Although it was their first time to meet her and they only knew that she was a female doctor, several people were subconsciously afraid of her.
It's not that she's afraid that she won't treat them, but that she has an air of calmness and self-reliance.
"It's not a serious illness, what's life-threatening? I couldn't control people in the past. Now that you are all my patients, I will be responsible for curing you all." She said seriously.
"Can it really be cured?" a woman asked.
Bai Banxia nodded, "As long as you follow the doctor's advice, you will definitely be cured."
"Thank you, doctor!" The women thanked each other one after another, with hope shining in their eyes.
Afterwards, Bai Banxia prescribed medicine to them, explained how to use it and any taboos, and then said goodbye and left.
After exiting the back door, he saw Qi Zhen standing not far away, waiting for him, with a bit of chill on his body and the night above his head.
"Are you anxious to wait?" Bai Banxia took his hand, "I know you don't like this kind of place, but these women are also poor people, either because of their family affairs, they were accused of being official prostitutes, or because their families were poor.
Sold here."
"I'm a doctor. I shouldn't pick patients' identities, and I don't want to look down on them."
Qi Zhen reached out and pressed the top of her hair, "Don't worry, I'm not that old-fashioned. If others say anything, I will help you."
She felt warm in her heart. This was ancient times. How many men would support their wives in their careers? Qi Zhen not only supported her, but also understood her very well.
She stood on tiptoes and quickly kissed the side of his face.
"Qi Zhen, thank you!" she said with a blushing face.
Such a quick kiss was like a dragonfly on the water. Qi Zhen didn't even react, so she jumped away.
"Go home soon, so that your parents won't worry." She said with a smile.
Qi Zhen also laughed, ran after her and took her hand, and they walked back to the palace hand in hand.
The next day, Bai Banxia told her parents that she was treating the brothel girl.
She felt that there was no airtight wall in the world, and sooner or later it would spread. Instead of being spread by others with added jealousy, and instead of letting her parents hear gossip from others, it was better for her to explain it herself.
"Isn't this not good?" Bai Tian asked worriedly.
Zhang Lingzhi also frowned. After all, Bai Banxia did not say that she was accepting the assessment and could not refuse. Refusing would mean failure in the assessment.
"It's not that my parents think it's bad to do this, it's just that they're afraid that others will gossip about you and affect you," Bai Tian explained.
Bai Banxia laughed, "I'm already a big devil who cooks and eats human flesh. Why should I be afraid of gossip?"
"Then we don't need to take that risk, that place is not the girl's home." Zhang Lingzhi said worriedly.
"But parents, think about it, they are also poor women. Who would want to go there if they can have a way to survive? It's probably because the people who were sold to the family are all human beings. They can't be sick and have no one to treat them, right?" Bai Banxia
Explained patiently.
Then she told the story about the dead woman, which made Zhang Lingzhi's eyes turn red.
"I remembered that when I was a child, there was a girl in the same village who was sold by her family. She was said to be sold to a wealthy family as a maid, but she didn't care and sold her to a brothel." Zhang Lingzhi said a little angry, "
The main reason was that someone saw her and when she went back to the village to tell her, her parents said she didn’t have that daughter and that she had died long ago.”
Ma Xiaoyu sniffed and said: "When my grandma scolded me before, she said that if I didn't obey, she would sell me to a brothel. Some people treated me, and even said that I would die of illness."
"What a sin!" Zhang Lingzhi became even more angry, "That grandma of yours really deserves to die!"
Bai Banxia hugged Ma Xiaoyu's shoulders, "It's all over. You still have us, but they don't have anyone. I can't help everyone, so I will do my duty as a doctor and cure their illnesses."
"
Now her parents understood and said that she could do whatever she wanted and her parents would support her.
"Ban Xia, I also support you. It's not convenient for you to be alone, so I will accompany you and help you." Ma Xiaoyu said.
"You haven't studied medicine yet, so what are you going to do? Just practice accounting at home." Bai Banxia refused with a smile. After all, Ma Xiaoyu hadn't said goodbye yet, and she still hoped that Xiaoyu would marry a good family in the future.
At this time, Yuan Jinyao came over and said with a blushing face: "Master, I will accompany you. I am your apprentice and should go to the clinic with the master."
Bai Banxia wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she agreed. She hoped that Yuan Jinyao could abandon these traditional ideas and understand that doctors should not depend on the identity of the other person when treating illnesses and saving lives.
In the next few days, Bai Banxia took Yuan Jinyao for medical treatment. The girls from the brothel were very embarrassed when they first saw him. In fact, this young young man was handsome and gentle. But fortunately, this young young man did not look away, and they slowly
got used to.
Five days have passed, and the conditions of the girls have improved, and their mood is no longer as depressed as before.
But someone in the backyard of the brothel recognized Bai Banxia's identity, probably because there were not many female doctors in Beijing, and maybe because the rumors about her cooking people alive were too shocking, so they quickly
Thought of her.
As a result, the news that she went in and out of brothels every day and treated the women in brothels quickly spread throughout the capital.
There were all kinds of unpleasant things to say, and the news quickly spread to King Ping's server, and Grandma You was so anxious that she almost got angry.
"Miss Bai, when can you help me save my worries?" Aunt You said with a headache.
Bai Banxia directly hugged her shoulders and said: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to grandma again, but those women are really pitiful. How can I, a doctor, ignore them until they die?"
Aunt You pulled her hand away and said, "I've already saved her, how can I not let you save her? You can go by yourself from now on, and I, the upbringing nanny, will accompany you!"
"Ah? Isn't this not good?" Bai Banxia was a little embarrassed.
"I am old, am I still afraid of what others will say? As long as I am here, others will say that you can be better." Aunt You said firmly.
Zhang Lingzhi also said after hearing this: "Mother will go with you. If outsiders say it, I will say it too. Mother is a rough person and is not afraid of embarrassment!"
"I'll go too, I'm just a country girl, I don't care what they say." Ma Xiaoyu also said.
Du Hui also said: "I will accompany you too. If they have the ability, they can talk to me too."
"Yes, we will all accompany you!" Bai Tian agreed.
Unexpectedly, Bai Banxia glared at him, "Dad, you can't go, I'm afraid you're a bad learner."
"Ah?" Bai Tian was dumbfounded.
"I won't let Qi Zhen go. How inconvenient would it be for you to go? You men, just leave this matter alone." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
So the next day, when Bai Banxia went for a follow-up consultation, she brought Grandma You, Zhang Lingzhi, Ma Xiaoyu, and Du Hui with her in a swaggering manner. They also walked through the main entrance and said in public that they were here to treat illnesses and save people.
