Noble Lady

Chapter 165: Stupid Things Worse Than Beasts

The He family was suddenly in chaos.

At the critical moment, Xue Chenyu stepped forward, gave Liu a gas-regulating pill, and had her carefully carried back to Ciwenyuan. He also sent the agile Yumei to accompany Shitou to call a doctor, and then asked Zhang to send all the guests away first.

Then he arranged for Qiuhua to go to the Cui family to inquire about the news, and he followed them to Ciwenyuan.

"Aunt, aunt, please don't scare Rouer..." Ji Minrou cried in front of Liu's bed, crying and shouting miserably.

Maybe it’s because I’ve studied acting and I’ve immersed myself in it.

When Mrs. Ji saw this scene, her brows were almost twisted into knots.

She was originally going to leave, but seeing that Dalang's wife had been looking at her daughter after the accident, she felt uneasy, so she gritted her teeth and stayed for a while longer.

When He Minzhi heard the news, he quickly sent the guests away and then hurried over.

As soon as she entered the room, she started to scold Xue Chenyu, "How do you do things as the mistress of the He family? How could such a big mistake happen in Ruyi's wedding?"

"Normally you act like the daughter of a marquis and try to tease me, and I tolerate that. But at a time like this, don't you remember that you're the daughter-in-law of the He family? Can you really deny yourself of anything?"

"Ah."

Xue Chenyu sneered, "Second Miss's marriage was arranged by Lord He and Miss Biao. How could anything have been handled by me?"

"Even if Lord He comes to call for justice and wants to find someone to take the blame, he won't be able to find me."

Mrs. Ji took a deep breath and said, "Rou'er, you..."

"Mother, I didn't, I..." Ji Minrou wanted to deny it, but she really couldn't say those words in front of He Minzhi.

If I say it out loud, I will offend He Minzhi.

Ji Minrou looked at He Minzhi pitifully, "Cousin, I...things are not what you think..."

He Minzhi gave her a reassuring look, then glared at Xue Chenyu, "How dare you say that Ruyi's marriage wasn't arranged by you? If you had fulfilled your responsibilities as the mistress of the house, how could this matter have come to this?"

"At this point, how dare you shirk responsibility? Is this how you raise your daughters?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chenyu slapped him in the face.

"Pa!" The slap was loud.

He Minzhi was stunned. Mrs. Xue, who was about to stand up for her daughter, also held back her restless hand.

As early as when she knew what the He family had done to her daughter, she had no good feelings towards this family.

Whatever retribution they get is what they deserve.

But how could they let her daughter suffer like this? !

If she hadn't come today, she wouldn't have known that the He family's faces were so ugly!

"You, how dare you..."

"He Minzhi, your mother has fallen ill and is lying in bed now, her life or death unknown! It was your sister who nearly got into trouble on her way to get married today. Now she has lost all face. Aren't you worried about how she will cope with her future when she goes to her husband's family?"

"At this point, you're not thinking about how to save your mother, help your sister solve the problem, and restore the He family's lost reputation. Instead, you're still trying to shirk responsibility. Are you still a man?!"

"No, if you had any sense of responsibility as a man, you wouldn't do such a stupid thing!"

After Xue Chenyu's slap, she followed up with a series of attacks, leaving He Minzhi stunned.

His face turned blue and red.

After a while, he muttered, "Where's the doctor? Have you asked for the doctor?"

At this time, Mother Huang finally spoke up and said, "They've already gone to invite them. Madam asked Yumei, who is fast at Furong Residence, to go with Shitou Bing in two different groups."

He Minzhi wanted to ask why the troops were divided into two groups, but then he remembered that he had gone to Jishan Hall in person last time but failed to invite Doctor Xu, and instead got himself into trouble. His face became hot again.

Mrs. Ji couldn't stand staying here any longer and wanted to drag Ji Minrou out.

Ji Minrou refused no matter what and even pretended to cry.

"You are simply hopeless!" Mrs. Ji's face darkened, and she simply shook off his hand and left the house.

He Minzhi was in a mess at the moment and didn't care about etiquette anymore.

Half an hour has passed.

Shitou came back first and brought back Doctor Chen, who had come to treat Liu last time.

Doctor Chen looked at Madam Liu and shook his head. "I reminded you last time that the old lady's illness is a chronic one. Once you have finally brought it under control, you need to take medicine and slowly recuperate. That's the best strategy."

"You guys are so kind, you let her suffer one stimulation after another, and now..."

Doctor Chen shook his head as he spoke. He Minzhi excitedly grabbed his hand and asked, "How are you now?"

"There's nothing I can do about this situation. I can only prescribe a prescription and have the old lady take two doses to try. Whether she can survive it depends on her own destiny."

"How can it be?!"

"You should go to Jishan Hall and ask Doctor Xu to come over and take a look. Doctor Xu is a skilled doctor, and he is the most experienced in treating difficult and complicated diseases like coughing, wheezing, and fainting."

He Minzhi: I know I should ask Doctor Xu for help, but he has to be willing to come too.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xue Chenyu with resentment.

She could have invited Doctor Xu from Jishan Hall before, so why didn’t she do it this time?

Xue Chenyu noticed his gaze, sneered, and turned away as if nothing had happened.

Mrs. Xue, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, glanced at He Minzhi, then left with Yuzhu.

The cold chill made him shiver.

After a while.

Yumei almost came back.

Yumei returned empty-handed. As soon as she entered the room, she shook her head at Xue Chenyu. "Doctor Xu refused to see me no matter what. He said he had already said last time that he would never set foot in the He Mansion again."

"It's outrageous that he..."

"He also said that he remembered Lord He who caused such a scene at Jishan Hall last time. If he doesn't go and apologize to him, he will report it to the Censorate."

Before He Minzhi could say anything harsh, Yumei stepped on his face and repeated what Doctor Xu said, and also told him the description of He Minzhi's disturbance in Jishan Hall.

He Minzhi's face turned red and then black, and then black and then red again.

"Lord He is truly a rare talent!" Xue Chenyu stared at him for a moment, then laughed in anger.

"You actually went to the Jishan Hall to cause trouble! And you said and did such things in front of so many people. How can you still have the nerve to let Doctor Xu examine your mother?!"

He Minzhi was so irritated by her that his face turned red, but he couldn't say a word to refute her.

Ji Minrou couldn't stand hearing others talking about He Minzhi, and immediately jumped up, "Xue Chenyu, your cousin is your husband, how can you talk to him like that? Do you still have your cousin in your eyes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud slap.

"Get out!"

"You, you hit me?" Ji Minrou was caught off guard by her beating, covering her face in disbelief, "Cousin, she hit me!"

"get out."

"But cousin, she hit me. You saw it just now!" Ji Minrou shouted unwillingly.

He Minzhi's face also sank, "Get out!"

Ji Minrou stared at him in disbelief for a moment, then covered her face and left in shame.
