Capítulo 884: Chapter 675: The Supre Troublemaker
Mrs. Li… people under heaven are better than you, and far more educated. Without rural folks, would you be eating shit?
Thinking this in her heart, she still maintained a gentle expression on her face, keeping a smile no matter how furious the opponent was!
The Old Dowager was so angry at this expression that she almost couldn’t catch her breath, clutching her chest, while the nanny imdiately patted her back!
Hongji saw that Madam’s combat power was so strong, just a few words left the other party breathless, without worrying that the person before him would face any big problems. As an old saying goes, evildoers live a thousand years. Such wicked people might live longer than good ones.
Thinking that this would sow discord, when acknowledging his ancestry and this identity, he had already anticipated the type of elite they would be facing in the future!
The Old Dowager’s combat power was now much like his foster mother’s in the past. The opponent was an outsider and couldn’t bother him at all!
Enemies are always enemies and won’t treat you better because you’re weak!
“Oh dear, Old Dowager, you’re aged and shouldn’t fuss with us country folks. You’re an official’s wife, and tolerance is your virtue! We don’t know how you wealthy people entertain guests, but we rural folks receive guests if we have the resources.
If we don’t have the ans, we send guests ho. After all, our ho isn’t as rich as yours, so do bear with us. It’d be best if you took the Old Lady to your place. We can’t afford to host such noble people!”
Hongji’s outrageous words made the Old Dowager see stars from anger; she almost rolled her eyes!
Her aides hustled around, and only then could the Old Dowager catch her breath again, while her companions were enraged!
It was the two nannies who always followed her, wearing stern expressions, eager to skin this couple alive!
“How dare you! Truly ignorant countryside bumpkins; such words you dare speak to elders and relatives. Apologize to the Old Dowager at once!”
“Aren’t you afraid of Lord Pri Minister blaming you? Upsetting the Old Lady like this, you’re liable for attempted murder!”
“Isn’t the Old Lady after all your elder? Who are you to expel her? Aren’t you afraid of being accused of disloyalty and unfiliality!”
Among the chaotic accusations, Hongji’s hatred grew deeper, wishing to chase them out, but his smile only enraged them more, making them gnash their teeth. Others wouldn’t provoke them, but they did.
“Ah yes, I wasn’t mistaken. The Old Dowager and you keep calling us country people. We country folks have emotions, but our wealth doesn’t co like the wind.
We are neither kin nor relatives. Besides, the Old Lady you ntioned never raised . What kind of relative is that? And she wasn’t kind to my mother, was she?
I heard that the Old Dowager raised a well-educated daughter, yet despite the vast General’s Mansion, the only descendant is ? How unreasonable! So vicious! No wonder she’s infertile!”
With every sentence Hongji uttered, the Old Dowager’s entourage glared venomously.
The Old Dowager pointed with trembling hand: “You…” Her words caught in her throat as her eyes rolled back, and she fainted!
The Old Dowager fainted, causing her attendants again to bustle; pinching acupoints and hurriedly retrieving the previously dismissed Imperial Physician!
“Old Dowager, Old Dowager, please don’t faint. We didn’t intend to anger you. We were just stating the truth. Why can’t anyone tolerate hearing the hard truth?” Hongji, further fanning the flas, added provocative remarks!
The Old Dowager’s attendants ignored Hongji’s babbling, also ignoring him and his wife entirely.
Worried that sothing might happen to the Old Dowager, they hastily supported and carried her inside into a room!
They did not enter the Old Lady’s chamber. The courtyard was vast, housing nurous rooms. Besides storerooms and servant quarters, there were two main houses of larger size.
Hongji and his wife neither left nor feared retaliatory consequences from angering the Old Dowager, for the familial relationship was already strained. They saw it as a chance to vent for the mother he had just reunited with!
Don’t say he’s a vengeful man, rembering how he was swapped and ended up with adoptive parents which was partly due to the Old Lady’s sches. The hardship his mother endured over the years he could well imagine.
Devious Old Lady, how his kind mother endured under his watchful eyes?
Although spared from rural toil, the General’s Mansion ant no comfort either—with inner sorrows in her heart. His father shouldered his duties and protected his mother at ho; but was a fool for his troubles!
In the living room at present were just the couple and their maid. Everyone else was either tending to the Old Dowager or were with the Old Lady!
The Imperial Physician who’d been sent away had just boarded a carriage, got so distance away, when he was quickly intercepted back by the guard!
The Imperial Physician, hearing that the Old Dowager had fainted, was startled; she had been fine just monts ago, how did she suddenly faint?
He initially thought the Old Dowager, due to her age, couldn’t bear seeing the Old Lady’s paralyzed state, hence fell ill.
Completely oblivious to the fact that the Old Dowager was angered into unconsciousness, the Imperial Physician had not seen Hongji and his wife when he departed.
Upon returning, he was escorted into the living room, where he first laid eyes on the head of this household!
Though the Capital is vast, gossip spreads widely. As an Imperial Physician venturing out, he’d heard so of the gossip, especially about this mansion that had belonged to a General, later sold off, yet skillfully bought by his long-lost son!
Whether it was destiny or coincidence, this piece of gossip enchanted Capital insiders trendously!
Even as a non-gossiping person, he’d heard of it, so it’s imaginable how sensational this must be!
The Imperial Physician was ushered into the living room, not directly into the patient’s room. He was stopped first to et the hoowner!
Hongji and his wife, having never before encountered the so-called Imperial Physician, noted that as re farrs they’d neither the status to summon such a physician nor, sitting in that prestigious position, n renowned countrywide, enjoyed a certain standing!
Except for those uninterested in fa or wealth, purely in service to the common folk’s health; such people are rare!
How many could resist the temptation for re two als?
Those entering the Imperial Hospital might not all seek riches, so had no choice: with superior dical skills and invited, there was no room for refusal!
Besides, being an Imperial Physician required diligence. For royals ensuring peace pulse, such position ant a life-endangering job should any mishap occur.
This elder doctor served not only the Emperor but also heeded Lord Pri Minister, involving private alliances not daring to surface openly!
Now his aged eyes examined the General’s son, though the seed of a General, his scholarly deanor resembled a farr lacking martial prowess.
