Zhu Yanyi sighed and said, "Second Senior Brother, you cannot use the Spirit Spring water on the Zhu family from Zhushi."
"Why?" Qu Zhong asked.
Zhu Yanyi explained, "Because the Zhushi Zhu family are my enemies. They gouged out my grandfather’s eyes, cut out her tongue, broke both her legs, and imprisoned her for over forty years. This made my father grow up without parents. Tell me, is that a big grudge?"
Qu Zhong was slightly stunned, his face turning serious. "What exactly happened? Tell me."
Zhu Yanyi did not hide the truth. She said, "You have heard that my grandfather’s original name was Zhu Shenfu. Everyone thought she went to Xiangshui. The details are hard to explain quickly, but I can say this: the person who went to Xiangshui was a fake. She was a member of the Zhushi Zhu family impersonating my grandfather. My real grandfather was blinded, tongueless, and crippled, locked in a dark room for over forty years without seeing sunlight. We have rescued her now. She is recovering in a ward under my care in the North District."
"Did the Zhushi Zhu family really do this?" Qu Zhong asked coldly. Among their brothers, they were fiercely protective. If the Zhushi Zhu family had done such things, it was impossible for him to treat them with care.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "They did it." She then looked seriously at Qu Zhong. "Actually, it is good that you go there. The Zhushi Zhu family is merely poisoned."
"You did it." Hearing this, Qu Zhong understood the truth.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly, not answering directly. She said, "You can study that poison. It won’t kill anyone. You can experiment with it however you like."
Qu Zhong laughed. "I have developed many new medicines recently and really need test subjects. Since that is the case, I will reluctantly use the Zhushi Zhu family for now."
"Remember, do not kill them," Zhu Yanyi reminded her.
"Rest assured, I know what I am doing." Daring to bully their Medicine Sect’s Little Divine Doctor was an insult. Qu Zhong planned how to deal with the Zhushi Zhu family to vent his anger for his junior sister.
Poor Zhushi Zhu family. The doctor had not even arrived, yet he already held a grudge against them. This was something they never expected.
Qu Zhong sat with Zhu Yanyi for a while, learned the truth, and then left. Of course, she took a bottle of Spirit Spring water with her, claiming it was for her own use.
As long as it was not for the Zhushi Zhu family, Zhu Yanyi agreed readily.
Zhu Yanyi only mentioned Qu Zhong’s trip to Zhushi to Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan nodded after hearing it. "It is necessary to have one or two reputable doctors go first to test the waters."
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. She understood Yan Aohan’s meaning. Only after others went could she go later to demonstrate her status.
Zhu Yanyi did not worry about this matter. She had no plans to interfere for now. After all, there was plenty of time. As the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. She had all the time in the world.
After Liu Jun was discharged, Zhu Yanyi had only one patient left: Zhu Xinfu. Zhu Yanyi informed Gu Jingtian and decided to open fifty appointments every Wednesday morning. This meant seeing fifty outpatients every Wednesday morning.
Gu Jingtian agreed with Zhu Yanyi’s idea of limited time and limited numbers, so she arranged it. However, there was no publicity. But during the first Wednesday morning, when people discovered the Little Divine Doctor was seeing patients, the news spread quickly, even though there were only fifty slots.
Yan Aohan had gone to Country R to handle the toxic fruit incident. Zhu Yanyi continued her life between the hospital and the courtyard.
One day happened to be Wednesday. Zhu Yanyi came to the outpatient clinic as agreed.
The outpatient clinic did not yet have the automated calling system of the future. Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi had previously instructed the registration staff to have patients write a number on their registration slips. This helped remember the fifty people, and Zhu Yanyi treated them in numerical order.
Zhu Yanyi explained this before the session started, so no one caused trouble. Everyone sat or stood outside, waiting patiently for their number.
Moreover, Zhu Yanyi treated patients very quickly. For common illnesses, she could diagnose them with a single pulse check, then prescribe and dispense medicine. Occasionally, one or two patients needed acupuncture, which took slightly longer, but not by much.
"Excuse me, I want to register with the Little Divine Doctor." A foreigner approached the registration window.
"I am sorry. All fifty appointments for today are full," the nurse at the registration window said politely to the foreigner.
"But I specifically came from Country F to see the Little Divine Doctor," the foreigner said earnestly.
"Is your condition very serious?" the nurse asked.
"I have seen many expert doctors, and they all said I am hopeless. I also went to Country G. There, I heard about the story of Shang Jiang, and learned that the Little Divine Doctor cured him. That is why I came to China to find the Little Divine Doctor," the foreigner explained seriously.
The nurse replied, "Sir, the Little Divine Doctor sees patients only on Wednesdays, with only fifty slots. However, if a Chinese person with a terminal illness comes seeking treatment, she will help. But for international friends, due to various relations, if the Little Divine Doctor is to treat them, it must be confirmed by the embassy. Therefore, I suggest you register at the embassy. That way, you can find the Little Divine Doctor."
The foreigner was somewhat dissatisfied. "Why can Chinese people with terminal illnesses go directly to the Little Divine Doctor?"
"Because they are Chinese," the nurse answered proudly.
Indeed, at the Capital Hospital, only Chinese people with serious illnesses had the qualification to seek help directly from the Little Divine Doctor. Foreigners could not. They needed to register at the embassy first. Only after confirming their information was correct could they apply for treatment from the Little Divine Doctor. This was a rule established by Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan. They did not want foreigners to feel superior. Instead, they wanted them to understand that here, with the Chinese Little Divine Doctor, Chinese people were the ones who held the higher status.
Hearing this, the foreigner could only sigh. Reality was harsh. No matter how unwilling he was, it was useless. He had to go to the embassy first.
This incident was nothing unusual. Such things happened several times every day.
Zhu Yanyi received several treatment applications from foreigners every day.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the materials in her hand and asked Gu Jingtian, "Why have there been more foreigners seeking medical help recently?"
"Have you forgotten about Shang Jiang? After he returned to his country, he was examined by the most advanced instruments in Country G. It was found that all cancer cells in his body were eliminated, and his body was very healthy. This news has spread around the world. So, patients from other countries with long-term illnesses have come to China to apply for your treatment."
