The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453: 229 Sister and Brother (Second Update)_3

The man broke into tears at the end of his speech.

The commoners pointed and nodded, clearly standing on the man’s side.

Gu Jiao remained calm, saying, “Alright, you claim she was a patient at our Medical Hall. So, who is she? How old? Who accompanied her here?”

The man roared, “She is my wife! Can’t you tell how old she is?”

Gu Jiao asked steadily, “What is your wife’s surname and her given name?”

Seemingly growing increasingly impatient with Gu Jiao’s questioning, the man shouted angrily, “Her surname is Wu, and her name is Wu Jinhua!”

Gu Jiao raised the book in her hand, “But it’s clearly written here that the patient who came in was a 21-year-old pregnant woman surnamed Yang, not your deceased…. who is at least in her thirties.”

The man choked on his words.

The onlooking crowd, who hadn’t anticipated such a twist, couldn’t help but cast doubtful glances upon the man.

The man’s eyes flickered as he shouted, “You randomly pull out a book claiming it’s the record from that day. How do we know you didn’t just make it up as you went along?”

Doctor Song hurriedly said, “We record our patients’ details chronologically, not starting a new page until the old one is filled up. Even if I wanted to fabricate a record, there’s no space to do it. Besides, I only went in there for a short while, where would I find the time to write such a lengthy record?”

Doctor Song showed the medical book to the bystanders.

An entire page was filled with detailed records of the patient’s identity, age, symptoms, time of consultation, diagnosis, and prescription. Nearly three hundred words had been written. It wouldn’t have been possible to write so much in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, if it were freshly written, the ink would not have dried.

The man insisted stubbornly, “You, you might have written it wrong!”

Gu Jiao nodded, “That’s entirely possible, which is why I suggested that we report this to the authorities. Based on the record, they should be able to locate this patient and clear Huichun Hall’s name.”

Upon hearing that Gu Jiao intended to get an external witness, it became clear who was lying.

The crowd was mildly disappointed. They had waited so long, thinking they would catch a scandal involving Huichun Hall, but there seemed to be nothing after all.

Seeing that his plan had failed, the man turned to flee!

But Gu Jiao didn’t give him the chance to escape. In a few swift movements, she tackled him, and the rest were also successfully caught.

Finally, Gu Jiao looked at the body lying on the ground, “Are you planning to stay there and get buried alive?”

The ‘corpse’ immediately sprang to its feet!

Oh my!

Everyone was taken aback!

So, even the corpse was fake?!

With everyone else taken aback, an unassuming figure slipped away from the crowd, slipped into an alley, and headed towards the nearby Chang’an Avenue.

“What did you say? Such a high-profile medical dispute, and they resolved it so easily?”

Inside Huichun Hall, a man rose from his chair, startled.

This man was none other than Hang Zhuanggui, who had attempted but failed to treat Gu Yan at the Villa.

Hang Zhuanggui, being the confidant of the younger half-brother of Hang Zhuanggui, had always devoted himself to Huichun Hall.
