Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Done Scolding, You Can Leave Now Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Done Scolding, You Can Leave Now Zhao Yuebei sensed Doctor Shao’s suspicious gaze and guiltily lowered his head.
“Why do I feel like you understand the Fifth Prince very well? Do you know him?”
Shao He rembered that they were clearly not familiar with each other and had acted very distant before, even going so far as to avoid Pei Huaian whenever he visited.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they never had much contact, so why the sudden concern for him now?
“I don’t know him, I’m not familiar with him, but the matter of him saving a child has spread throughout the Capital City, so I just asked casually,” Zhao Yuebei quickly denied.
Yun Qian leaned in and said, “Chu Yu hasn’t made any moves lately, I heard he broke off the engagent with the Liang family.”
Shao He was very surprised, not expecting Chu Yu to break off the engagent at this ti.
However, her questioning gaze fell on Yun Qian again, curiously asking, “How do you know so much about the affairs of the Imperial Court?”
“It’s not really a secret, I just heard a patient ntion it once,” Yun Qian vaguely explained.
Shao He, faced with his explanation full of loopholes, did not believe him and recalled the previous Imperial Physician, always feeling that Yun Qian was up to sothing.
And this matter might very likely be entangled with soone from the Imperial Court.
“Tsk tsk tsk,” Shao He shook her head, her gaze shifting between the two.
This made them sowhat uneasy, and they awkwardly coughed.
“I just rembered I have so herbs that haven’t been dried yet, I’ll go handle that now,” Zhao Yuebei, unable to bear Doctor Shao’s gaze, hurriedly made an excuse to leave.
“You really…”
“Doctor Shao.”
Shao He’s words were suddenly interrupted by a woman’s voice. Liang Weishuang walked in looking haggard; her condition seed very poor.
“Doctor Shao, may I speak with you?”
“You have a patient, so I won’t bother you,” Yun Qian took this opportunity to slip away.
“Co and sit.”
Shao He ca to the consultation desk and sat down, knowing that Liang Weishuang would seek her out, but not expecting it so soon.
Seeing her current ntal state, she treated her like a regular patient.
“What did you want to talk to about?”
Liang Weishuang smiled bitterly, “Do you know I’ve loved the Marquis for many years?”
“I did not know.”
“Yes, how would you know? I’ve had a crush on him since I was young, and I’ve always dread of marrying him.”
Liang Weishuang’s eyes beca misty as she reminisced, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
“I truly love him!” Liang Weishuang suddenly teared up, “I thought I finally had the chance to marry him, to be his only wife, but he suddenly wanted to call off the engagent.”
Shao He frowned deeply, “Since you love him, you should let go, not persist in this relentless pursuit.”
“How can I let go? I can’t do it,” Liang Weishuang wept bitterly.
Shao He sighed, giving her well-aning advice, “Loving soone who does not love you back is exhausting. You get no response; why continue this painful entanglent?”
“The Marquis loves too. It’s all your fault for stepping in both then and now. If it weren’t for you, I would have been the one to marry the Marquis back then, and now the chance I’ve finally been waiting for has been ruined by you!”
Liang Weishuang beca more agitated as she spoke, eventually pounding on the table and glaring at Shao He.
Why couldn’t she have a chance? She didn’t ask for much, just to be by Chu Yu’s side. Why couldn’t even such a small wish be fulfilled?
“This has nothing to do with ; you should go to Chu Yu. He’s the one breaking off the engagent, not . Coming to is pointless,” Shao He hoped she could think more rationally about the situation.
Unfortunately, a person blinded by love can hardly be expected to co to their senses; she was nearly delirious now.
“How can this not involve you!”
Liang Weishuang fiercely stood up, pointing at her and shouting, “It’s because you shalessly seduced the Marquis, not only entangling with him but also resorting to despicable ans!”
“Are you trying the sa tricks on soone else now? You truly are a loose woman.”
All kinds of ugly words poured from her mouth as passersby outside were drawn by the scene. Everyone stopped and craned their necks to look inside.
Yun Qian walked over to try to calm things, but Liang Weishuang scolded him as well.
“You’re no better, both of you colluding in disgraceful acts, a man and a woman alone together, utterly shaless.”
“I might be better than Miss Liang, at least better than you who are desperate to marry, clinging to any man you can find.”
Shao He’s retort was sharp and to the point.
Liang Weishuang was so angry her chest heaved, and she blurted out, “No wonder the Marquis wanted to throw you and your child into the Mass Burial Mound back then, because you cheated, giving birth to a bastard.”
“If I were you, I would have died in the Mass Burial Mound back then and should have never walked out. Look at how many people you’ve dragged down with you.”
“Soone like you is a jinx; living only causes trouble for others!”
“Enough, you can leave now.”
Shao He was slightly angered, no matter what was said about her, but involving her child was absolutely unacceptable.
“You…”
“Don’t forget to leave the consultation fee.”
Shao He didn’t give her a chance to speak and cut her off right away. After all the insults, it was only fair to collect so silver.
