“Chuchu, I said something wrong.” Xie Heng apologized, “Please don’t mind me.”
Zhao Chuchu laughed and asked, “Do you want to beg me for forgiveness?
Xie Heng put his palms together and said, “I beg you, please don’t mind what I said.”
Zhao Chuchu got even happier. “I am a generous person, so I shall forgive you.”
Xie Heng couldn’t help but laugh.
The next day…
After Xie Heng arrived at the academy, he immediately looked for the principal and told him that Zhao Chuchu wanted to come to the academy to give free consultations as a charitable act.
The principal was very surprised. “Your wife wants to come over and give free consultations?
“He said that scholars sit in front of their tables all year long, so it’s very common for their necks and shoulders to feel unwell.”
“But it’s all guys in the academy.”
“That’s fine. She’s a doctor. A doctor does not see gender when treating patients.”
“If that’s the case, please thank her. I will tell the other teachers about this. By the way, when is she planning to come?
“If you agree with it, Principal, we can do it tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
The principal happily accepted the offer.
He had been suffering from stiffness in his shoulders and neck. It was a problem that could really hurt sometimes.
He had consulted many doctors and tried many different medications and treatment plans, but the effects had been marginal.
He had heard about Doctor Miracle, Zhao Chuchu, but he felt too embarrassed
to consult her because she was a lady.
Now that Xie Heng suggested it to him spontaneously, it was a great opportunity.
The principal felt that it was a good thing, but it looked different in the eyes of other students.
When the news started spreading, those who disliked Xie Heng started making things up.
“Oh my, I guess we just can’t compare to the great scholar Xie. I understand that he needs to suck up to the principal and kiss ass, but I can’t believe he’s bringing out his own wife for this.”
“Welp, some people can’t quite stand on their own and need to be gigolos, isn’t that so? He’s so good at choosing his wife. All he needs to do is to focus on studying, while his wife makes money and provides for him.”
“Hold on, sucking up to the principal is one thing, but I think he’s also planning to make money from us, right? She can just diagnose us with whatever she wants. She can just say we’re ill from all kinds of diseases.
Imagine how much the medication is going to cost.”
“I’ve seen too many of such scams. I advise you guys not to think that this is a ‘free consultation.’ You might just get ripped off big time.”
Qingyang Academy wasn’t very big. The classroom blocks were all joined together.
Since the day Xie Heng entered the academy, these people had been trying to make trouble for him. Yet Xie Heng fought back and humiliated them every single time, which made them resent him even more.
Now they were trying their best to slander Xie Heng and telling their friends not to get scammed.
“Zizhao, why don’t you tell them off? Your wife is doing this out of goodwill.
How can they make things up like that as if it’s such a bad thing?”
“Zizhao, you should stop them as soon as possible. I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse.”
“How is it Zizhao’s fault that they’re worse than Zizhao? Can’t they just admit that they’re not as smart as Zizhao? Their hearts are smaller than the eye of a needle. Even if they pass the exams and become government officials, the people aren’t going to live good lives.”
Xie Heng said calmly, “Just let them be. There’s no need to stoop down to their
“But they’re talking about your wife.”
“My wife wouldn’t care.”
When he said that, the people around him looked at each other. They didn’t understand why Xie Heng wasn’t willing to defend Zhao Chuchu.
Usually, whenever these people made trouble, Xie Heng wouldn’t let them off the hook so easily.
Perhaps it was because Xie Heng ignored them that they became more and more brazen.
In the end, they went to Xie Heng and started talking right to his face.
“Are you nervous because we exposed your plan? You’re such a talker usually. How come you don’t even dare to rebut us today?”
“Xie Heng, sigh, Xie Heng, I guess after being a gigolo for so long, you’ve lost your confidence.”
“How about I donate some money to you? It’s better than asking your wife all the time, right?”
Xie Heng raised his head to look at them. His cold gaze made them squirm subconsciously.
“She’s coming to give free medical consultations out of goodwill. I don’t need to explain anything to you. If you believe it, then go. Otherwise, stay away. No one is forcing you to do anything. Even if you cannot learn to be a wise sage after studying, you shouldn’t lose your basic decency as a scholar. Making up rumors and smearing people makes you no different from hooligans on the streets.”
Xie Heng’s words immediately infuriated those people. “Alright, lees see how good of a doctor your wife is tomorrow. Do you dare to make a bet with me? If your wife can tell whether were sick, then we lose. Otherwise, you crawl around the academy and bark like a dog.”
“What a disgrace!”
“Hahaha, you don’t dare to bet with us because you are guilty!”
“I advise you not to test my limits.”
“Xie Heng, tomorrow I’m going to make everyone in the city know what kind of people you and your wife are!”
After that, they didn’t wait for Xie Heng’s response and walked away
immediately.
Xie Heng seemed rather anxious. He appeared to be worrying about it the entire day.
His classmate tried to console him, but he forced a wry smile and said softly, “It’s fine. My wife said that she could tell if someone is sick from just their pulse unless they somehow force their pulse to stop.” Those words quickly got into the ears of the slanderers..
