Chapter 217: Chapter 218: Slandering an Affair with Soone Else Chapter 217: Chapter 218: Slandering an Affair with Soone Else “Even if I say I won’t leave, what can you do to ? I want everyone to see your true colors, to know what kind of person you, the doctor, really are!”
Liang Weishuang was no longer afraid of anything. With matters having escalated to this point, she definitely wouldn’t let Shao He off easy.
“If you keep causing a commotion like this, I will report you to the authorities!”
“Fine, my reputation has already been ruined. I’m not afraid to create a bigger scene.” Liang Weishuang shrugged indifferently, as she no longer had anything to fear.
Just then, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly ca from outside the door, followed by Chu Yu and Old Madam Chu appearing at the doorway, with gifts in their hands.
When the two of them saw Liang Weishuang, their smiles froze for a mont, but they quickly recovered and ignored her, proceeding straight to Shao He.
Old Madam Chu affectionately took her hand, her face beaming with a smile, “We have co to take you back to the mansion. You are the Lady of the Marquis of Pingnan; you can’t stay here forever.”
This was an indirect acknowledgnt of Shao He’s identity.
Chu Yu was even more remorseful as he said, “It’s all my fault for not protecting you back then, which allowed Luo Jiner to fra you and cause your amnesia. But don’t worry, I will help you slowly rember everything.”
The crowd, however, wasn’t buying these lies, and even Liang Weishuang ridiculed, “If the Marquis is going to lie, at least make up a better excuse. Even if she really has amnesia, surely you all haven’t forgotten?”
Chu Yu ignored Liang Weishuang and turned to Shao He with a gentle gaze, “Co back with us first, we can discuss the rest once we’re ho.”
Shao He shook off Chu Yu’s hand, “I’ve already made it very clear to you, I have no relation with Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion; please stop bothering .”
Both Chu Yu and Old Madam Chu’s expressions darkened; Liang Weishuang seized the opportunity to step forward and say, “Why should you lower yourself for such a fickle woman, Marquis? I…”
“Slap~” Chu Yu slapped her across the face, sending Liang Weishuang staggering backwards into the leg of a table before coming to a stop.
“You actually hit ?” She covered her swelling cheek with her hand, tears sliding down her pale face.
“So what if I hit you?” Chu Yu’s face was full of disgust, “Do you think marrying into the Marquis’s Mansion guarantees everything? I’m telling you, it’s not happening; I will not marry you.”
“You can’t call off the engagent! I have loved you for years; you can’t treat like this!” Liang Weishuang scread hysterically.
“Enough!” Old Madam Chu barked angrily, “Since you are so obstinate, bla us not if the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion shows no rcy!”
Chu Yu paid no attention to the hysterical woman, his gaze soft as water as he turned to Shao He, attempting to appease her, “I know you have suffered a lot during this ti. I will make it up to you a hundredfold. Please, stop being angry, alright?”
Liang Weishuang, faced with such disparate treatnt, couldn’t help but sneer, “You’re so kind to a woman who betrayed you. Why don’t you consider my situation?”
“You think you’re so pure? If it weren’t for your affair with your cousin, why would I call off the engagent?” Chu Yu fabricated an affair to protect his own reputation.
“Am I talking nonsense? Dare you say that these jewels on your body weren’t gifts from your cousin’s house?” Chu Yu asked with a nacing tone.
Upon hearing his words, the crowd’s gaze instantly changed, looking at Liang Weishuang with disgust, especially after recalling her earlier tirade against Doctor Shao, they harbored not a shred of sympathy for her.
Liang Weishuang felt desolate inside; she had not expected Chu Yu to slander her.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Liang Weishuang couldn’t help but yell, “These are heirlooms from my mother’s family, not gifts from my cousin.”
But no matter how she explained, the surrounding people’s glances were filled with doubt, prompting her to run away, crying and covering her face.
Chu Yu, happy to be rid of the nuisance, once again tried to coax, “As long as you’re willing to take the child back to the mansion with you, I’ll ensure you receive the best treatnt.”
Shao He looked at the nauseating face before her, a bad smile forming on her lips, before she began speaking with feigned helplessness, “I’m really sorry, Marquis, but my dical skills are limited, and I genuinely cannot cure you. Perhaps you should seek treatnt from soone else.”
Her words astonished the spectators outside, who were clueless about the implications. It seed there was more to the story than what was apparent.
To these idle onlookers, the tales of high-ranking nobles were always of keen interest.
“What did you say!”
Like soone who had his tail stepped on, Chu Yu couldn’t help but shriek.
Shao He continued, “Why bother being so secretive, Marquis? Is it not true that you have a certain problem that you cannot cure yourself, and that’s why you ca to ?”
“You…”
“I understand the Marquis’s difficulty and that you are seeking treatnt, but I am truly powerless,” Shao He said with a smile brimming with aning, aiming to use this to push her dreams away. She would never set foot in Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion again in this lifeti.
The crowd suddenly understood, and soone amongst them remarked, “So the Marquis is looking to beco a father.”
The remark instantly drew raucous laughter from the peasants outside, while Chu Yu and Old Madam Chu turned ashen-faced.
They had not anticipated that Shao He would be so unreasonable. For the distinguished Marquis and Old Madam to personally request her return ho, yet to no avail—it truly seed a bit excessive!
