Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Unreasonable_1 Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Unreasonable_1 Zhao Yunxiang first swore an oath, feeling she had cleared her own na before turning her attention to Lin Yue, although she had lost her earlier imposing manner.
Seeing Zhao Yunxiang’s unreasonable behavior, Doctor Zheng was worried Lin Yue would be at a disadvantage and followed her to the kitchen. He had refrained from interfering before, but upon hearing Zhao Yunxiang’s questions, he didn’t wait for Lin Yue to speak and answered directly, “I have never seen such a rude and unreasonable woman. I am the doctor invited by the Zhao family’s mistress to treat her husband. How can I beco such an unsuitable person in your mouth? This is truly preposterous. I have been practicing dicine for decades and this is the first ti soone has slandered like this.”
“What’s the matter, big sister? Did you understand what Doctor Zheng said clearly? Doctor Zheng ca to treat my husband, and it was because the hour was late that I invited him to stay for lunch, which you have twisted into this. You are insulting Doctor Zheng’s character. Moreover, if I did have sothing to hide, I wouldn’t have opened the door wide for you to see it. As soon as you entered, you accused and questioned without knowing the full story. I have been patient with you because you are Erhu’s big sister, but if it were anyone else, they would have been chased out with a broom by now. They wouldn’t have the chance to yell and make a scene in front of . To speak unpleasantly, even the Zhao family’s old house and big aunt can’t expect any goodwill from , let alone you. If you think you are more capable than them, you are welco to try.”
Lin Yue’s face was cold, her tone harsh and indifferent with a hint of barely concealed anger and disdain. Zhao Yunxiang, even though she felt uncomfortable inside, had no retort for Lin Yue. If she had been more capable than the people in the old Zhao house and the big aunt, she wouldn’t have been so bullied as to not dare to utter a sound, eventually marrying the penniless Lin Genfa.
“Are you really the doctor treating my younger brother?” Zhao Yunxiang knew in her heart that she had misunderstood, but her earlier words had been so absolute that she couldn’t back down and wasn’t willing to lower her head in front of her sister-in-law, so she asked again sowhat unwillingly, only to get a grumpy reply from Doctor Zheng
“Genuine as can be. Do you think I would deceive you? Such a foolish woman!” Doctor Zheng was a person of status now and saw no need to save face for Zhao Yunxiang. If he had known it would cause trouble for the young mistress, he wouldn’t have stayed for the al.
Zhao Yunxiang was scolded but dared not show any dissatisfaction. In the eyes of ordinary people like them, life-saving doctors were highly skilled and not to be offended lightly. Since she was at fault for offending the doctor, it was only natural for him to be angry. Besides, this was a doctor invited from the city to treat her brother; what if he took offense and refused to treat him?
Zhao Yunxiang forced a smile, “Doctor, don’t be angry, you are right, I am ignorant. I’m just a countrywoman, don’t stoop to my level. How is my brother’s wound, and when can he wake up?”
“Hmph! The Zhao family’s mistress has taken very good care of the patient. His condition is now stable and he shouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger, if nothing unexpected happens. However, his injuries are very serious and he has a head wound. Whether he can wake up or not is now up to the will of Heaven.”
“How can it be so serious! Doctor, can’t you think of a way? It’s my brother who is holding this family together. If he doesn’t wake up, what will happen to the children?” Zhao Yunxiang’s eyes reddened at the thought that Zhao Erhu might not wake up.
Doctor Zheng had done what he could and said what he needed to say, not willing to deal with Zhao Yunxiang any longer, he simply left to return to the courtyard, leaving behind an embarrassed Zhao Yunxiang face to face with Lin Yue. Lin Yue was not a pure and saintly white lotus, unable to be kind and generous without dwelling on the offense; she simply left Zhao Yunxiang aside and continued her own work.
