Chapter 371: Chapter 372: Smashing the dical Clinic
“The Lady of the Shao Family? I’m afraid my mother only has the title without any real authority,” Shao He said with a sneer.
If my mother truly were the Lady of the Shao Family, how could she have fallen into such a state where everyone can bully her?
“Even if your mother has authority, how is she supposed to manage everything in the household in her condition? Quit talking and call soone out already,” Shao Zhengru yelled at Shao He.
Since she won’t respond to a soft approach, then we must resort to a harder one.
“My mother’s wounds have not yet healed, and here you are, insisting on taking her back due to fear of your misdeeds being exposed, aren’t you?”
“And you! You’re just a concubine and yet you dare to be so arrogant here!” With these words from Shao He, the surrounding crowd started to take his side.
Upon hearing those accusations, Shao Zhengru hurriedly waved his hands and said, “I have never hard anyone; you cannot take her word as the whole truth.”
“If you have never hard my mother, then why are you afraid of healing her? Why are you insisting on taking her away? What are your true intentions?”
Shao He didn’t give him a chance to react, her relentless pursuit ant to expose Shao Zhengru’s weaknesses—only then could she keep her mother here.
“Indeed, favoring the concubine and destroying the wife. Such a person is the most detestable.”
“Exactly, and look at this woman; she’s clearly a troublemaker. Now that she’s entered the house as a concubine, she should stay in her place and not covet what doesn’t belong to her.”
“One’s true value lies in self-awareness; things taken by force will never last.”
Shao Zhengru’s face grew uglier by the second, burning with sha as he listened to the surrounding whispers, wanting to storm off in a fury.
But i Ying next to him quickly grabbed his arm, smiling at Shao He, “Shao He, I know you misunderstand us due to your mother’s issue. If you don’t want to go back, we can understand, but after all, that is your mother’s ho. How can you not let her return ho?”
The gathered crowd fell silent upon hearing her words, those who had just been enjoying the criticism now quieted down.
Shao He offered a cold smile, acknowledging that i Ying was indeed sowhat clever.
Shao Zhengru took the opportunity to leverage her future status as the Fifth Prince’s Consort, “By offering free dical services here, you are clearly saring the Royal Family.”
“Saring? I am an Imperial Physician personally appointed by The Emperor. If The Emperor did not recognize my status, would he have bestowed upon the title and allowed to continue offering free treatnt?” Shao He strategically brought up The Emperor.
Shao Zhengru was at a loss for words. He had heard that The Emperor had appointed her as the Fifth Prince’s Consort but had never heard that she had been made an Imperial Physician. Seeing her confident deanor, he knew she was not lying.
i Ying whispered beside him, “It seems it won’t be easy for us to take Wei Wan away today.”
Shao Zhengru wanted to retort, but Shao He treated him as a patient’s relative, accusing him of not caring for his wife’s illness and instead fixating on her. What did that imply?
Those with power knew Shao He’s real identity, but the majority of the commoners, unaware of the details, sided with him.
i Ying attempted to continue making connections, but Shao He took the opportunity to assert, “Since The Emperor has already decreed, he must surely be aware of my identity and turns a blind eye. If you say anything more, it’s akin to opposing The Emperor himself.”
Shao Zhengru, feeling the threat in her words, was extrely vexed but indeed dared not to contradict The Emperor.
In the end, both he and i Ying could only leave dejectedly, with him fiercely warning her, “We will definitely not let you get away with this!”
Shao He watched them leave with a trace of a smile on her lips; she knew Shao Zhengru would be afraid.
The Shao Family was severely struck, facing setbacks in both the official circles and daily life, a situation not unconnected to Shao He’s insinuations and one she understood to be Pei Huaian’s doing.
After that incident, the Shao Family stopped troubling her.
Shao He thought she would have so peace for a while, but unexpectedly, on the third day, a woman, accompanied by her servants, ca to the dical clinic and started a ruckus without a word.
Many people gathered outside the clinic, and the number of onlookers continued to grow.
“Why is this young lady so overbearing? What could the people at the clinic have possibly done to provoke her?”
“What do you know? This young lady is one of the wealthiest in Capital City, accustod to being arrogant and domineering.”
Shao He glanced at the newcor, who was dressed in fine silk fabrics, with a golden hairpin and jewelry, and carried herself with an air of superiority.
At that mont, she kicked over a stool and pointed at Shao He, “Where’s your man? Have him co out!”
A flash of malice crossed Shao He’s expression; it seed this matter was far from over.
“Do I know you? What is the purpose of looking for him?” Shao He asked indifferently, scanning the woman and taking a slow step forward.
The woman looked at Shao He and let out a mocking laugh, “Ha—you’re still playing dumb. Last ti, your man ambushed and threw into the water. I must have my revenge!”
As she spoke, she raised her palm and slapped it towards Shao He.
Shao He dodged the assault, grabbed the woman’s shoulder, and slamd her against the wall, sending pain coursing through her body.
“Ah! You wretched woman, how dare you hit !” The woman’s shrill voice echoed down the street.
The spectating citizens shook their heads, believing the woman had acted too rashly and had now brought trouble upon herself.
They had seen Doctor Shao’s skills, especially her masterful use of the silver needles. Dealing with this woman would be well within her capabilities.
