Chapter 620: Everything Has to Be Done According to Her Rules of the Game
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sure enough, after taking care of her silly dog, Liu s.h.i.+mei began to speak slowly, saying, “Let me explain.”
The teacup was gently placed 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 must come 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 s.h.i.+mei had declined each time.
Therefore, since Madam Miao had come to her door today, she naturally couldn’t have any objections. She gritted her teeth and said, “This rule is acceptable!”
It seemed like there was something she disagreed with below!
Liu s.h.i.+mei 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 blamed.
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 to come 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 the company 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 clause and asked, “What does this mean? Am I supposed to be a living advertis.e.m.e.nt?”
“Madam Miao,” Liu s.h.i.+mei replied with a polite smile, neither warm nor cold. “Let me explain why this clause is necessary.”
Her gaze s.h.i.+fted from Madam Miao’s face to the face of Miss Miao Linglong and she continued, “Miss Miao, I remember very clearly, the last time you came to my door seeking medical help was on May 16th! Did I not agree without any hesitation and immediately prepare to accompany you home?”
Miao Linglong knew that Liu s.h.i.+mei’s words were setting a trap for her, but she had no choice but to answer, “Yes.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei 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 s.h.i.+mei was talking about.
For the person being examined, it was embarra.s.sing.
But for the one conducting the examination in that particular area, it was indeed dirty!
Miao Linglong’s face didn’t look too good as she replied, “Yes.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei 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 s.h.i.+mei had been humiliated at Duke An’s Residence, and now that Madam Miao had come begging for help, she naturally intended to reclaim her dignity!
People say to be proud of one’s talents and accomplishments. Liu s.h.i.+mei had this ability, so why shouldn’t she be proud?
Wasn’t it easy for her to handle situations like this?
