Chapter 617: Distorted Personality Disorder
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Wife!” Seeing Liu s.h.i.+mei enter, the silly dog immediately jumped up from the head physician’s chair, hurried over, and supported her arm, saying, “Wife, are you tired? Quickly, have a seat.”
I knew it. Whenever my wife appeared, she would inevitably dominate the scene!
He led Liu s.h.i.+mei to the head physician’s chair and asked, “Wife, aren’t you busy? Attend to your matters, as for these two, they don’t count for anything! If there’s nothing urgent, I’ll send them away soon!”
Looking foolish, his words were infuriating!
Being called ‘nothing’, Madam Miao’s face turned red, and she was about to retort.
Seeing she was about to start a quarrel again, Miao Linglong hurriedly spoke, “Mother, please refrain. How Eldest Young Miss Liu and King Dun Yu get along is their business. His Majesty and the Empress Mother don’t say anything, allowing them to handle it themselves.”
Mentioning the Emperor and Empress, Madam Miao finally calmed down.
Indeed, this was the Emperor and Empress’s son and daughter-in-law. Talking behind their backs was one thing, but accusing them face-to-face could be seen as admonis.h.i.+ng the Emperor and Empress’s son. Madam Miao couldn’t afford that accusation!
Wasn’t that what Liu s.h.i.+mei meant with her words earlier?
She snorted coldly, “Madam Miao, I don’t care about how favored you are in Duke An’s Residence, or how Duke An spoils you, allowing you to act recklessly. But don’t forget, this Great Shu belongs to the Huangfu clan! Even if my husband is not extraordinary, he is the Emperor’s legitimate son, the royal grandson. He won’t allow your Miao family to interfere in the upbringing of the imperial family’s heirs!”
In the previous encounter, they had clashed, and yet here she was, standing at the doorstep, still as bold and confident as ever. Who gave her the audacity?
In ancient times, physicians were highly respected; no one wanted to offend doctors who had the power to heal. It was unlike the modern era, where many people aren’t very friendly towards doctors.
It was challenging for a physician to reach the pinnacle of literary achievement, but ordinary scholars didn’t dare to offend formidable doctors easily.
Take Qi Yang, for example.
Who didn’t treat Qi Yang as an esteemed guest, even as a G.o.d to be revered?
It was precisely because of this reverence that Du Gong’s disgraceful reputation severely impacted the business of Zheng Medical Hall.
But Miao Madam…
Liu s.h.i.+mei could understand.
Flowing in her veins was the blood of the Western Regions, yet she was born in the land of Great Shu. Deep down, she possessed the wild spirit of the Western Regions but had to force herself to a.s.similate into the customs and sentiments of Great Shu. Thus, she memorized the rules outlined in ‘Female Precepts’ too firmly.
She had exerted too much force, leading to the distorted personality disorder she suffered from now.
Openly, she had to abide by the restrictions imposed on women by Great Shu, but secretly, she couldn’t restrain the wild genes within her bones.
Miao Madam was left red-faced and speechless by Liu s.h.i.+mei’s words. She wanted to retort, but Liu s.h.i.+mei’s words were undeniably true!
Under the pressure from the Empress, she could only grit her teeth and remain silent.
Only then was Liu s.h.i.+mei satisfied. She turned her gaze towards Miao Linglong and said, “Miss Miao, I believe I made myself very clear the last time we spoke.” How could Miao Linglong feel comfortable?
Firstly, Liu s.h.i.+mei didn’t give her face, and secondly, her own mother didn’t either!
However, she maintained her composure and said, “Eldest Young Miss Liu, I apologize for my mother’s slip of the tongue. But we came here seeking medical help. When you first opened your practice, you said that Fusheng Pavilion had no thresholds. I thought… I thought you wouldn’t turn away someone seeking medical a.s.sistance at your doorstep?”
It could be said that this was moral blackmail, an attempt to use Liu s.h.i.+mei’s own words against her, to humiliate her.
Huangfu Lingyao was furious the moment he heard it!
