“Only when an elder possesses both moral character and virtue can they truly be considered qualified to hold such a position. From the fact that my grandfather repeatedly expelled her from the Marquis’s Manor, and even then, none of the uncles and aunties in the manor were willing to associate with her, it should be evident that my aunt lacks the qualifications to be considered an elder.”

“Secondly, I am not using my status to belittle Doctor Huang. As a doctor myself, Doctor Huang has been treating Madam for so long, yet he is unable to even explain the medications I have prescribed for her. Does he truly possess the capability to treat her? Does Marquis not wish to discern whether Doctor Huang lacks the necessary skill or is being manipulated by someone?”

Su Yingxue’s words were even more direct.

The doubts in Marquis Changxin’s heart were immediately brought to the surface by her words.

“Although Madam may have been born with certain deficiencies, this illness has developed over the years,” he murmured, casting a doubtful glance at Doctor Huang.

Su Yingxue smirked. Anyone who could attain Marquis Changxin’s position was undoubtedly astute. Even if he favored Su Xinlan, he should understand the gravity of the situation.

Especially with the headmaster of the Imperial Medical Academy present.

Marquis Changxin turned to the headmaster. “May I ask, based on your impartial judgment, is this a matter of my wife’s health or a reflection of Doctor Huang’s medical proficiency?”

The headmaster pointed to Xu Aoqing. “Indeed, madam is gravely ill, but her condition is not beyond treatment. As for Doctor Huang… I have yet to see evidence of his qualification as a doctor.”

“You… How dare you baselessly slander me!” Doctor Huang protested, his disbelief evident.

He had been practicing medicine for many years and had a reputation in Jiang Du City. He was even a regular physician for noble families and mansions. Yet, he was belittled to such an extent!

He even said that he didn’t have the qualifications to be a doctor.

It was too much!

“Baseless slander? Would the esteemed headmaster engage in such behavior?” Su Yingxue’s lips curved into a mocking smile.

Her eyes, though crescent-shaped, exuded a chilling aura that instilled fear.

Doctor Huang, somewhat worldly-wise, instinctively bowed his head before Su Yingxue’s gaze. “I am a legitimate doctor. I do not diagnose without cause!”

“If it’s legitimate, may I ask, Doctor Huang, how much did you earn in a month?” Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, subtly setting a trap for Doctor Huang.

Doctor Huang replied, “The monthly salary from the medicine hall was ten taels of silver.”

“Oh? With a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, how did you manage to afford attire from Radiant Colors Pavilion and a yellow rosewood bracelet?” Su Yingxue asked, subtly exposing the inconsistency.

Su Yingxue grabbed his sleeve, allowing everyone to see.

His attire, worth several times his monthly salary, exposed him entirely.

“Of course, it must be from alternative sources of income! Perhaps accepting bribes to harm others!” Su Miaoyan’s clear voice chimed in.

Marquis Changxin narrowed his eyes, his expression turning cold. “It seems you truly are a doctor who lacks ethical standards!”

Doctor Huang panicked. “Marquis, that’s not true! These clothes, this bracelet… they are…”

In his panic, Doctor Huang looked towards Su Xinlan.

Su Xinlan glared at him. “Idiot! What was he looking at her for?” Su Xinlan thought.

Of course, she paid no heed to the foolish doctor. She continued to sob before Marquis Changxin. “Marquis, it’s all my fault. I misjudged and chose such a doctor for my sister. I will punish myself and ensure to find a better physician for her in the future.”

“Very well,” Marquis Changxin responded curtly.

Compared to his previous tenderness towards her, he now regarded Su Xinlan with suspicion.
