The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Jisheng Hall again, and linked to Gu Youyou?

The Empress was so angry she was about to explode.

"You never learn your lesson, do you?"

King Jin hastily smiled and said to the Empress: "Your son was in a hurry, isn’t Jisheng Hall ready at hand? For instance, Searcy from Beijing’s Jisheng Hall has never married, and the doctor in charge of the Lingnan Jisheng Hall is said to be a woman too. Unlucky though, as I’ve heard, she jinxed her husband to death on their wedding day. And there’s also a female doctor in Yangguan City’s Jisheng Hall, the daughter of the head of the family."

"All from Jisheng Hall?" The Empress’s face darkened further.

But King Jin whispered, "The female doctors from Jisheng Hall are skilled in medical arts, especially Searcy, who is said to be even better than Gu Youyou. Gu Youyou used to be ill, and she couldn’t cure herself for the longest time; it was Searcy who finally healed her.

Moreover, during that previous flood disaster, many caught tuberculosis. Before Gu Youyou arrived, it was Searcy who treated them. Gu Youyou just happened to arrive at the right time and took credit for Searcy’s work, making it seem as though she was the one who cured them. Searcy is not lacking in comparison to Gu Youyou at all; her only downside is that she’s not the boss, so she can’t make the decisions."

Hearing King Jin’s praise of Searcy, the Empress gradually became interested as well.

She had heard bad things about Gu Youyou, that her medical skills were actually not that good, and that her own life was saved by another female doctor. If her son really brought this female doctor home and opened another medical clinic to compete with Gu Youyou, then Gu Youyou’s myth as a Divine Doctor would crumble on its own. She would just be a charlatan, a thief stealing others’ credit.
