Chapter 169: Chapter 170: Intentional Framing
Sun Shaoyuan saw soone with even greater righteousness and directly raised the stick in his hand. Zhao Yuebei, terrified, closed her eyes and rushed over, standing in front of Shao He.
After waiting for a long ti, no pain arrived. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw the wooden stick close at hand, unyielding.
“A true man shouldn’t boast about hitting won!” Zhao Yuebei shouted loudly.
Shao He pushed away the person in front and inquired, “Why did your wife have a premature birth?”
Sun Shaoyuan didn’t expect her to ask this question and for a mont didn’t know how to respond.
Shao He sensed sothing was amiss and, before she could speak, heard him say, “My wife accidentally fell, which led to the premature birth, but this has nothing to do with whether the baby had hands or not. It was you who used Demon Art to harm my child.”
He wanted to use the common people again to ensnare Shao He in public opinion, which would be most advantageous for him.
At that mont, soone in the crowd spoke up, “Madam Sun was clearly pushed by a concubine, which caused the child to be born prematurely.”
Sun Shaoyuan didn’t expect this to be revealed but said with utmost certainty, “You are the one who did this, I won’t let this go so easily.”
Zhao Yuebei, fearing the person before her might do sothing rash, stood protectively in front of Shao He, while the others had started smashing everything to bits.
The commoners in the dical hall all ran out, fearing they would be caught up in the trouble.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Chu Yu stepped in, seeing the broken porcelain and dicinal herbs on the floor, and the people holding clubs, he asked puzzledly.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him, and quickly the shop was smashed beyond recognition.
Chu Yu approached Shao He and asked with concern, “What happened?”
Sun Shaoyuan imdiately recognized Chu Yu’s identity and moderated his attitude, no longer as reckless as before.
“The Marquis is unaware, this female doctor knows Demon Art.”
“Demon Art?”
Chu Yu’s brow furrowed slightly, his disbelief clear as he retorted, “How is that possible!”
“How is it not possible?” Sun Shaoyuan sneered, “My wife ca here for an examination a few days ago, and this wicked woman used Demon Art to cause my wife’s unborn child to be handless.”
“This…” Chu Yu hesitated, looking toward Shao He, as such allegations were sothing no one would believe.
“Marquis, this woman is not a Divine Doctor, she must be a witch, and we absolutely cannot let her continue to harm the common people here.”
Sun Shaoyuan’s words struck a chord in Chu Yu; he had always hoped that Shao He would return to his residence. If her reputation were ruined and Anji Hall could no longer operate, she would have no choice but to rely on him.
Thus, Shao He would definitely bring the child and return to his side. This thought made him lean towards Sun Shaoyuan’s position.
“Indeed, the problem lies with you. I’ve always said that with your diocre skills, you couldn’t be a Doctor here. Now that you’ve caused such a commotion, how do you plan to settle this?”
Shao He, seeing the person turning the tables, scoffed, “Marquis, what do you an by this?”
“I an to tell the truth, to let everyone see what this dical hall is really like. There have been many failed cases here, but you have never disclosed them to the public.”
To thoroughly tarnish Shao He’s reputation, Chu Yu did not hesitate to fabricate many cases, all to convince the people that Shao He’s dical skills were a sham.
Seeing the situation unfold, Sun Shaoyuan escalated the issue, wanting to rush toward Shao He to interrogate her but was blocked by Zhao Yuebei and the arriving Yun Qian.
“Let’s have a proper talk if there’s an issue. I am the owner of Anji Hall, and I have the authority to decide,” Yun Qian stepped forward and said.
“Doctor Yun, you’ve been deceived, this witch has no dical skills, she is just an imposter,” soone said.
“Exactly, she’s nothing but a swindler.”
“A Divine Doctor? More like a Divine Trickster,” others chid in.
After hearing Chu Yu’s words, the surrounding crowd beca even more agitated, feeling that they had been deceived all along.
Several people knew Chu Yu was doing this deliberately, yet they were helpless to object, as they couldn’t clear their nas now.
“Please calm down, and allow to say sothing,” Yun Qian called out loudly.
“No matter what has happened, I firmly believe in Doctor Shao’s dical skills. For so long, everyone has seen his abilities; we cannot deny his expertise just because of so instigating remarks.”
After speaking, Yun Qian looked toward Sun Shaoyuan and said, “I don’t know what Anji Hall has done to offend you, for you to resort to such despicable thods to fra us.”
“When have I ever frad you? This is all brought upon yourselves! Everything I do is for the common people, for justice for myself!” Sun Shaoyuan remained unrepentant to the end, still thinking of how to profit from Shao He.
Chu Yu, mindful of Pei Huaian and Yan Ze, knew these were not n to be trifled with. If they learned of the situation here, things would beco complicated.
He imdiately whispered, “Take action quickly; it will be too late if you delay. It will be troubleso if any official cos here.”
Sun Shaoyuan, thinking it over, felt there was rit in the advice. Pointing at Yun Qian, he demanded, “Since you are the owner here, my request is simple: you must compensate with silver, and furthermore, you owe a hundred thousand taels.”
“My heavens, a hundred thousand taels?”
“Isn’t this outrageous?”
“Exactly, who could co up with a hundred thousand taels of silver?”
Shao He simply laughed softly, not to ntion a hundred thousand, she wouldn’t give even one tael of silver.
