Chapter 596 Is this how the Du family is grateful?

Just when Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying were chatting animatedly, Wang Miaoshuang quietly winked at Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du understood, took a glass of plum blossom wine, stood up and said, "Miss Bai, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for saving my nephew's life."

Bai Ruozhu thought to himself, is this about to start? She also stood up politely and said with a smile: "Mrs. Du is an elder, so you can't be so polite, or you'll hurt me."

"It should be, it should be. I usually like Zhong Shu's child the most. If you save him, you will be the benefactor of our Du family." She said raising her glass, "I will do it first as a token of respect."

Seeing that she had drank, Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to pick up the wine glass. She sniffed it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the wine. She also raised her head and drank it happily.

Wu Ying clapped her hands next to her, "Ruozhu drinks so generously, I will make you my friend!"

"Miss Bai also saved Mr. Du's life? Who is it? Mrs. Du, please tell us. We admire Miss Bai's medical skills very much." Mrs. Li opposite Bai Ruozhu said slowly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du smiled and said, "It's Du Zhongshu, the third son of my family. Now he has also passed the scholar examination. He is studying in Beiyu Academy and is a classmate with Miss Bai's brother."

All the ladies pricked up their ears, and the table fell silent for a moment, as if they were about to hear some explosive news.

Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips and planned to continue listening.

"When Miss Bai came to Beiyu City with Zhong Shu, Zhong Shu was killed by a traitor on the way. He was poisoned and vomited blood, but Miss Bai acted decisively and saved his life. You must not have thought of Miss Bai's method of detoxifying. , but it scared my niece." Mrs. Du laughed.

Many people became curious and told her to stop being so pretentious and quickly tell her what the solution was.

"To scare you, I asked my nephew to strip naked and soak him in a medicine bucket. He also lit a fire underneath and burned it, just like making soup." She said as if she was joking and laughed.

"Ah? Is this okay? It won't cook people, right?" someone asked curiously.

Mrs. Du said hurriedly: "How could it be? My nephew is still alive and kicking, and he is attending a banquet in the outer courtyard right now."

Everyone was amazed and asked Bai Ruozhu how to use this method.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said: "The poison attacks quickly and will cause people to vomit blood constantly. If the drug is used alone and the poison is cured before the drug is fully effective, Mr. Du will also vomit blood and lose his life. So just He can use medicinal soup to soak and steam it to allow the medicinal effect to penetrate his body faster, and then cooperate with my acupuncture to detoxify smoothly."

Mrs. Du and everyone continued to praise Bai Ruozhu, which meant that the Du family liked Bai Ruozhu very much, and soon someone at the table saw the signs.

Mrs. Li laughed and said, "Hey, I heard it. You're not just here to say thank you, but you're here to find your wife, right?"

Everyone burst into laughter, but Mrs. Du was not embarrassed at all. She said sternly: "My family really has this idea. Miss Bai is smart and capable. My nephew said that he should marry a virtuous wife. If he can find Miss Bai, it will last him several lifetimes." It’s the blessing that comes from cultivation.”

Fang Guizhi was very anxious after hearing this and pulled Bai Ruozhu under the table. Did the Du family say this in public to settle the matter?

Mrs. Li smiled sweetly, her smile was trembling, she glanced at Bai Ruozhu and said, "I heard it. When detoxifying, Mr. Du has to take off his clothes. Doesn't this break the defense between men and women? It would be a beautiful thing for Miss Bai to marry Mr. Du."

Everyone's expressions changed, some showed gloating, and some looked at Bai Ruozhu with some worry. Although Danliang Kingdom did not pay special attention to the defense of men and women, it was really bad for the reputation of a woman to see a man's naked body.

Yu Hongxiu said anxiously at the table next to her: "Doctors don't pay attention to those things when saving people. Why don't we still check the pulse in daily life? If Ruozhu avoided it for the sake of reputation, Mr. Du would not be where he is today."

Many people nodded, feeling that what Yu Hongxiu said made sense.

"Our family is also grateful for Miss Bai's kindness, and we don't want this to affect her reputation, so my old man also wants Miss Bai to marry into the Du family." Mrs. Du said immediately.

Bai Ruozhu was a little angry. After a long time, the Du family and Wang Miaoshuang worked together to plan her marriage. Do they think that if they married her, they would marry the God of Wealth, and they would be able to manipulate her in the future?

Humph, she is remarrying and can make her own decision.

She stood up directly from her seat, stared at Mrs. Du unceremoniously, and said, "Are the Du family really grateful to me? If you are grateful to me, you shouldn't say these words in public to ruin my reputation. This is really Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Mrs. Du didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to confront her directly without any regard for dignity. In their circle of ladies, many people don't get along with each other, but even if they don't like someone very much, they won't break up with each other in public. Face.

If it were someone else, Bai Ruozhu would have made some subtle sarcastic remarks and would settle the account slowly later, but facing the Du family, she felt that she didn't have to look good on them anymore.

"That day when Mr. Du took off his clothes and entered the bathtub, the boys and the coachman were waiting on him. My second brother and I were waiting outside the door and didn't see anything. But when the second lady said it, I felt so changed. What about the taste? As for being grateful and ungrateful, forget about it. I have saved countless patients. If every one of them comes and says they want to marry me in return, then my life will not be able to survive." Bai Ruozhu said with a tone of voice. A taste of irony.

Wu Ying slapped the table on the side and stood up and said: "I finally understand, you see Miss Bai as capable and want to force her to marry into your Du family, right? But marriage is a matter of course. You have to do it voluntarily, you can't force it at all. Besides, even if you want to propose marriage, you should talk to Ruozhu's parents. What should you say in public here?"

Bai Ruozhu smiled gratefully at Wu Ying, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe he hopes that I will have to give in for the sake of reputation, but I practice medicine and save people. If I pay attention to reputation and stick to the rules, then I won't have to save people in the future. .”

Wu Ying reached out and patted Bai Ruozhu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I hate injustice the most. I will take care of this matter. I will never let the Du family slander you!"

Everyone at the table had different expressions, thinking that Mrs. Du was really unlucky to meet two stupid young people, and that Wu Ying was the daughter of a military officer, who was the military attaché of Beiyu City. Although the civil servants and Military attachés always dislike each other, but the families of civilian officials do not dare to provoke the families of military generals easily.

At this time, Wang Miaoshuang hurriedly spoke up to be the peacemaker, "Okay, okay, I'm the one who invites you all here today. Please give me face, both of you, and don't let this misunderstanding ruin our friendship."

Bai Ruozhu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Mrs. Meng is absolutely right, but I have a few more words, I don't know whether I should say them or not..."
