“I feel better than I did yesterday,” Liu Shimci replied.

Presumably, this doctor also knew that women would feel uncomfortable when they were menstruating.

Du Gong nodded and said, “Since you’re not feeling well, you don’t have to do anything here. Go find Jin Tao and ask her to find you something to do.”

Liu Shimei,”…”

She thought to herself, ‘It’s better if you ask me to stay here. If you ask Jin Tao to give me some work, that’s the most troublesome thing. That girl will look for work to give me even if there isn’t any!’

However, she could not say that, so she could only look for Jin Tao.

As expected, when Jin Tao heard this, she pointed at the backyard and said, “A new batch of medicinal herbs has arrived. Some of them are specifically requested by Doctor Du. This is the list!”

…..
The doctors of the Zheng Medical Hall prescribed the medicine, and it was the Head Shopkeeper of the medicine cabinet who was in charge of the matter of getting the medicine. The Head Shopkeeper was also in charge of the delivery of the medicinal herbs.

However, the Zheng Medical Hall treated the doctors quite well. Every doctor was allowed to open a small medicine cabinet in their consultation room. What Jin Tao was talking about was the medicinal herbs that Du Gong used to fill his medicine cabinet.

Since Liu Shimei had chosen to stay here to work, it was not to the extent of saying that she did not want to work.

Jin Tao thought that she was making things difficult for her, but she did not know that she was going to take a look and see if there were any medicines that the Liang family’s pharmacy did not have. She would think of a way to get some for herself. It was very convenient for her.

Liu Shimei took the list and went to the backyard.

The backyard was in chaos after the herbs were delivered. The doctors and handymen also came to collect the herbs. Only the people who came from Du Gong’s side were apprentices.

Someone snorted. “Look at this new apprentice. She’s doing odd jobs and getting ordered around every day. She’s not even as good as us handymen!”

It was not that Liu Shimei did not hear it, but she was too lazy to care.

It was the same between people. Hatred usually came from jealousy.

Some people were just jealous and would not do anything else. However, if she provoked him, he would become resentful and take revenge.

When would the so-called revenge end?

Most of the apprentices started off as handymen. They were jealous that she, a young lady, became an apprentice right away. Not to mention these people, the one who felt the most unbalanced was Jin Tao.

As long as it was not a personal attack, she did not mind.

“Why do you think a young lady like her would come to the medical hall to work?” The few of them spoke louder and louder.

“Isn’t that so? Although our Zheng Medical Hall doesn’t lack female apprentices, she’s beautiful! Do you think that she’s treating people with her looks since she became an apprentice the moment she arrived?”

This person who said ‘treat people with her looks’, was still relatively polite.

Another said, “It’s hard to say. Maybe she climbed into the Chief Steward’s bed first and then used some method to seduce Doctor Du!”

“Hehe!”

At the mention of this, their smiles changed.

Their expressions became strange, and it was self-evident…

Hearing this, Liu Shimei frowned and did not move. However, the more they spoke, the bolder they became.

“Don’t you know? That Jin Tao had an affair with Doctor Du! In my opinion, this Zhi Liu is probably the same!”

“Of course I know. Who doesn’t know that Doctor Du likes this kind of thing? This was something that even his wife could not control! Anyway, as long as you don’t bring her home, you can do whatever you want outside!”

“I see that Jin Tao looks at Zhi Liu with anger every day. Is that jealousy? Zhi Liu is prettier than her, she’s going to fall out of favor!”

This gossip was also like thunder!

Liu Shimei was shocked!

Du Gong looked quite righteous and had good medical ethics. Was there such a stain in his bones?

She suddenly approached the few people who were working and chatting enthusiastically and asked, “Since you’re chatting so happily, why don’t you include me?”
