Chapter 63: Protection in Silence (1/2)

Before Bai Luochu could ask the silver-haired man, the madam spoke in an unyielding tone, “Are you the person who gave my child this sweet?”

When Bai Luochu saw the harsh and irate expression on the woman's face, she knew that her earlier actions had caused some trouble. Her face was expressionless as she said, “That’s right. Can I help you?”

After Bai Luochu spoke, her brows arched towards the sky and a flame burst to life in her eyes. It was a warning for the woman to stop causing trouble.

When the madam saw Bai Luochu’s response, a hesitant expression fleeted across her face. The woman silently gulped down mouthfuls of saliva and continued to put on her strong front as she continued, “So it’s you! My child ate your sweet and is now having constant stomach cramps! How are you going to compensate me?”

Bai Luochu sneered in her heart. It seemed as though this woman was here to mess with her. Just as Bai Luochu was about to say something, the silver-haired man spoke first. “Since that is the case. I will give you money for you to bring your child to a physician to seek treatment.”

Bai Luochu looked at the silver-haired man with an astonished expression. It seemed unbelievable that he was standing on her side.

“How, how much money?” When the woman heard the word, ‘money’, her eyes instantly lit up.

Bai Luochu’s brows were locked together and she realized that this woman was only doing this for money. She shouldn’t be trying to smear her reputation as Divine Physician Bai. After thinking about it, she felt that it was logical as she wasn’t in disguise right now. Currently, she was merely a servant girl from the First Prince’s residence. It seemed like this wasn’t her day. First, she ran into a pervert. Next, she found a scammer standing right in front of her.

No matter what, Bai Luochu didn’t want to give her the money. She suddenly revealed a smile and spoke to the mother and son pair in an amiable tone. “This madam... To be honest, I am a servant girl responsible for serving Diving Physician Bai in the First Prince’s residence. Since this child is suffering because of me, why not let me bring the two of you to the residence and ask Divine Physician Bai to provide his diagnosis? This will prevent trouble in the future.”

When Bai Luochu mentioned about preventing trouble in the future, her tone was exceptionally serious. Of course, there were intentions of threats behind her words.

“No, there is no need. We will take the money and look for a regular physician. Divine Physician Bai is very busy and people like us shouldn’t bother him.”

When the woman heard this suggestion, she couldn’t find a proper reason to reject it and spoke with a stutter.

“Just give us the money!” This time, it was the child that shoved Bai Luochu.

Bai Luochu stared blankly at the two of them. When she saw that no one was calling them out, she realized that such scams were common occurrences.

“I’m nice enough to bring you to a physician… Why are you only thinking of money? Do you want to seek treatment or do you want to extort me?” The look in Bai Luochu’s eyes was like blades that stabbed directly into their body. It seemed like she wasn’t going to let these scammers off.

The duo stammered and couldn’t say a word. When the silver-haired man saw the situation, he immediately tossed a few silver fragments to them and said, “Take the silver and go. Don’t let me see you again.”

“Why did you give them the silver?!” Bai Luochu was rather agitated.
