Chapter 1962 Fulfilling the Promise
Chapter 1962 Fulfilling the Promise
Seeing the happy expression on his face, Wan Shufang knew that she had succeeded. She cleared her throat and said calmly, "Then it's time for Butler Li to fulfill his promise."
"What I want has nothing to do with Butler Li. I just want to ask about the account book of the Chen Mansion."
Wan Shufang spoke slowly, and deliberately emphasized that this matter had nothing to do with Butler Li, and she only hoped that he could tell her the truth.
Even if something is found out, it is the Chen family that is in trouble, not this old man.
Unexpectedly, Butler Li stopped smiling, turned his face away, and snorted coldly, saying, "I don't know what account book you are talking about. Of course, only the head of the family knows the account book of the Chen family."
"You want to break your promise..."
"I have never made any agreement with you." Butler Li grinned maliciously, and then shouted outside: "Someone, kick her out."
As soon as he gave the order, someone rushed in and stood in front of Wan Shufang with a ferocious look. Wan Shufang stared at the old man, and when she saw that he was determined to drive her away, a sneer appeared in her eyes.
"Oh, you better not regret it."
Having said that, Wan Shufang stood up and left on her own without waiting for these people to chase her away. The door was closed tightly. Looking at the door that isolated her outside, there was no expression on her face, but she just sighed deeply.
I originally wanted to save this old guy, but I didn't expect him to be so untrustworthy.
"Butler Li, if I don't have your medicine, you will get sick too. Take care of yourself."
After shouting this at the door, Wan Shufang left without looking back. Not far away, she saw Chen Changli who was rushing over, and her pace quickened.
"Shufang, is everything okay?"
Seeing the worry on Chen Changli's face, Wan Shufang shook her head: "No, I was just cheated by an old guy. Let's go back."
"Okay." Chen Changli nodded, and after making sure that she was not injured, he naturally reached out and held her hand, preparing to go back to the inn together.
But not far away, a hurried figure was running through the crowd and approaching quickly. Chen Changli immediately became alert. When he got closer, he saw that it was Li Yao who was running over.
"Li Yao, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Yao so anxious, Wan Shufang felt a little uneasy: "Is there someone causing trouble at the charity hall again?"
"No, no, ma'am, it's... a child in the charity hall got smallpox, and everyone was infected!"
Li Yao was bent over and breathing heavily, obviously exhausted from running just now.
His words made Wan Shufang anxious instantly. She retracted her foot that was about to step into the inn and turned directly towards the charity hall.
"Let's go over and take a look now."
"Shufang, smallpox is contagious." Chen Changli's tone was full of worry. He selfishly didn't want Wan Shufang to go, fearing that Wan Shufang would be infected by others. But he knew that with Wan Shufang's personality, she would definitely go to see the disease in person.
He could only hurry up and catch up. When the two of them hurried over, they found that everyone in the charity hall was coughing. Wan Shufang wanted to step forward, but Chen Changli grabbed her wrist.
"Shufang, it's contagious, you can't go."
At this moment, Chen Changli was more worried about Wan Shufang being infected, so he had to stop him. Knowing that he was worried about her, Wan Shufang glanced at those people and shook her head at him in a soothing manner: "I checked, it's not smallpox."
"This is just an epidemic viral cold. I'll go check out the symptoms and prepare two doses of medicine for everyone. Don't worry, this disease is not contagious." She patted Chen Changli's hand, her gentle voice seemed to carry some kind of magic.
This also made Chen Changli unconsciously loosen his hand. Wan Shufang walked forward and checked everyone's condition one by one. Seeing that it was indeed a viral cold, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to help treat the person when there was suddenly a noise outside the door.
Chen Changli's face darkened and he winked at Li Yao. Li Yao immediately understood and went out to check the situation, but soon came back.
"Sir, Madam, the family of the old housekeeper of the Chen family is outside. They asked Madam to help save his father. His father has vomited blood and is kneeling on the ground crying loudly."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang's face turned cold. Thinking of how she had been treated coldly not long ago, she had no good face towards the Li family. She said coldly: "Don't save them, let them go. I just said it, let them not regret it."
"Yes, ma'am." Li Yao took the order and went to convey it obediently. The person kneeling at the door heard Wan Shufang's response and immediately became dissatisfied and angry.
Several people stood up from the ground, pointed at the plaque of the charity hall, and spoke wildly.
"Wan Shufang, you are a hypocritical and vicious woman. You set up a charity hall and always said that you wanted to help the poor, but now you watch people die without helping them. You are vicious and cruel. You are basically a bad person."
"Everyone, don't believe her. Wan Shufang is a vicious woman who didn't help the dying."
"Poisonous woman, bitch."
The few people were so angry that they could only make a big fuss at the door of the charity hall, trying to ruin Wan Shufang's reputation and force her to show up.
Because of their noise, a lot of people gradually gathered at the entrance of the charity hall. At this moment, discussions were heard from the crowd. Under the deliberate guidance of several people, some people gradually began to scold Wan Shufang for being hypocritical.
Those voices spread into the charity hall, and Chen Changli was so angry that he wanted to go out to stop them, but was stopped by Wan Shufang: "Changli, don't go, you stay and help me, Li Yao, close the door and block out the noise outside."
"No matter what, I have to cure the patients in the charity hall first."
When these words were spoken, Li Yao and Chen Changli were both shocked, but it was only for a moment. The two of them immediately took action and cooperated with Wan Shufang. Seeing that the door of the charity hall was closed, those people became even more violent.
But Wan Shufang ignored everything that was happening outside and focused on treating patients in the charity hall. She ran around running around and could only breathe a sigh of relief after she had treated everyone.
At this time, there was still a commotion outside the charity hall.
Some neighbors saw that Wan Shufang opened a charity hall and treated people's illnesses. She was obviously kind and generous, but now she was being scolded and criticized. They felt very sorry for her.
The aunt looked at those people and couldn't help but criticize them: "Why are you guys so vicious? You usually take advantage of others, why are you blaming others now?"
These words quieted down the people around. Everyone had received some favor from Wan Shufang on a daily basis, and they felt a little embarrassed at the moment. Then they saw the aunt pointing at the people from the Li family again.
"Mrs. Chen runs a charity and treats people. She is a kind person. I think she didn't save your family. It must be because you did something evil!"
She spoke with such conviction that the people around her hesitated. For a moment, all kinds of looks fell on the Li family.
Those people were suddenly a little flustered, looking at each other, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
