Why She Is Still Unmoved (Female-dominant)

Chapter 18: The Enthusiasm of the Townspeople

When Si Qingyu woke up, her head was in intense pain. She half-sat on the bed, frowning uncomfortably as she rubbed her brow.

Officer Zhang had just brought in the meal and was very happy to see that Si Qingyu was awake, "Doctor Si, you're finally awake!"

At this time, Si Qingyu had just woken up and there was still a hint of haziness that had not completely disappeared from her eyes. She looked at Officer Zhang with her eyes half-lowered, "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been asleep for almost two days! We were so scared when you suddenly fainted back then!"

"Two days..." Si Qingyu said as she got out of bed and walked to the table to sit down.

Officer Zhang placed the food in front of her, "Doctor Si, you must be very hungry. Hurry and eat something."

Si Qingyu nodded slightly. She was indeed a little hungry. She had been busy researching the antidote these past few days and hadn't eaten. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up some vegetables, and put them in her mouth, chewing slowly.

Suddenly, Si Qingyu's chewing motion paused and she looked at Officer Zhang, "Where is your Magistrate Luo?"

"Magistrate Luo is handling matters in the town. Those townspeople have been cured of the poison now, but they can't recover immediately in a short time, so the magistrate is handling this matter."

Si Qingyu nodded and ate the food quietly.

At this time, it was lively in front of the yamen. Since the townspeople learned that it was Doctor Si who cured their "illness," they were extremely grateful.

Each townsperson was holding various things and shouting that they wanted to give them to Doctor Si as a token of gratitude. Fortunately, there were yamen runners blocking them, otherwise they would have rushed in all at once.

"Let us go in, we want to personally thank Doctor Si!" One of the townspeople took the lead and shouted.

People began to echo, "That's right! I heard that Doctor Si even fainted because of our matter. Let us go in and see Doctor Si!"

"Yes, yes!"

The townspeople at the back echoed one after another, and the crowd became more agitated. Gradually, it became a bit out of control, and the yamen runners began to have difficulty holding them back.

At this time, Luo Jinhua walked out and shouted at them, "Quiet down, everyone!"

Her voice was loud and had a deterrent effect. The crowd immediately quieted down and looked up at Luo Jinhua.

Seeing that they had finally calmed down, Luo Jinhua sighed and said slowly, "What Doctor Si needs most now is rest. I understand how grateful you are to her and how much you want to thank her, but these thanks can wait until Doctor Si wakes up. It's not too late. Now your condition has not fully recovered yet, so you should go back and have a good rest first!"

Luo Jinhua was the town magistrate of Qianluo Town, so naturally her words were the most persuasive. At this time, the townspeople also calmed down a bit. They looked at Luo Jinhua and asked, "Has Doctor Si not woken up yet?"

"Not yet, so your actions like this will directly disturb her rest."

The townspeople nodded and said they would come to see her after Doctor Si had rested well, and then they dispersed.

Luo Jinhua wiped the sweat from her brow and turned back to tell the yamen runners to clean up the yamen, then hurriedly walked back to the study. Now that the problem of the illness in Qianluo Town had been resolved, she had to write a memorial to report to the emperor as soon as possible.

She didn't tell the townspeople that this was a deliberate poisoning, letting them assume it was an illness to avoid causing panic.

Si Qingyu was eating in the bedroom and could hear some of the noisy sounds outside. She asked curiously, "What's going on outside?"

Officer Zhang smiled, looking at Si Qingyu with eyes full of gratitude, "The townspeople know that it was Doctor Si who saved them, so they are outside clamoring to see you!"

Si Qingyu's eyes twitched, feeling a bit helpless as she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She was most afraid of these things and couldn't stand their over-enthusiasm.

She suddenly thought of something and asked Officer Zhang, "By the way, have you found the person who poisoned them?"

Officer Zhang shook his head, "No, we went to investigate every household and didn't see any suspicious people or things."

Upon hearing this, Si Qingyu lowered her eyes. She just wanted to know where the poisoner got these poisons from. This kind of poison was not something that an ordinary person could easily obtain.

Seeing Si Qingyu's pensive expression, Officer Zhang said cautiously, "Doctor Si, perhaps the poisoner has already left Qianluo Town. After all, staying in town after poisoning would be very disadvantageous to her. I think that person shouldn't be that stupid."

Indeed.

Si Qingyu felt that it made sense, so she didn't think about it further.

In the next few days, Si Qingyu stayed in Qianluo Town and did not leave. She wanted to make sure that none of the townspeople had any discomfort after being cured of the poison.
