Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 68: Chapter 69: Will Not Let Them Off Easily

Moreover, she could not always rely on Pei Huaian to counteract Chu Yu; she had to have her own strength and background.

“I am naturally willing.”

Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yijia’s lips curved into a faint smile, then she said, “Princess Huimin and her daughter are afflicted with a severe illness. Despite consulting countless famed doctors and various folk healers, none have succeeded. Can you cure them?”

“Are you aware of their symptoms?” Shao He was not doubting her own medical skills but knew she needed to be fully prepared.

“It is said to be a strange disease carried from the womb. Both Princess Huimin and her daughter have a mole on their faces, and even numerous famed doctors and arcane Daoist priests summoned by The Emperor have been ineffective.”

At this point, Jhiang Yijia sighed lightly. Truthfully, Princess Huimin was a decent person; it was inexplicable why such a thing would mar her face, causing her and her daughter to always meet people veiled and seldom attend various banquets.

...

Hearing this, Shao He knew that the disease was not easily curable, not something that could be healed quickly, but would require a long time to treat.

Seeing her silent, Jhiang Yijia, thinking she was facing difficulties in treatment, immediately emphasized, “Princess Huimin is The Emperor’s own sister, and even the Empress must give her some respect.”

She knew Doctor Shao did not like to associate with powerful and influential people, but the situation was special now. If she could cure the diseases on Princess Huimin and her daughter’s face, it would be akin to having a strong backing.

“Fine, I will go and treat them.” Shao He was aware this was an opportunity for her and understood Jhiang Yijia’s good intentions. She knew she intended to help her stand up against Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion. If Princess Huimin supported them, Chu Yu would not dare blatantly offend her.

“Good, then I will go back and discuss this with my mother to see if she can facilitate a meeting.” Jhiang Yijia, seeing her agreement, was thrilled and stood up in haste to leave.

Seeing her actions, Shao He quickly said, “Be careful.”

She escorted her guest to the door and said to the little maid, “It is slippery because of the snow; take good care of your mistress.”

“Yes.” The little maid replied very respectfully, helping Jhiang Yijia into the carriage and then departing.

Only when the carriage disappeared from her view did Shao He return to Anji Hall.

Yun Qian, seeing her return, approached and said, “Your frostbite ointment and Cold Effervescent Powder are selling very well; even a lady and her daughter from the Imperial Medical Bureau bought a batch.”

Shao He expressed surprise; she had thought that the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau would look down on these cheap medicines, but she didn’t dwell on it.

In the evening, Shao He walked back to her residence. Just as she entered the alley, she spotted a carriage parked in front of her home, which seemed somehow familiar.

As she approached and saw the insignia on the carriage, she immediately knew whose it was. Her expression darkened, and she turned to enter her residence.

Just as she was about to step into her house, a firm voice came from inside the carriage. @@novelbin@@

“Stop!”

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Old Madam Chu, assisted by the nanny, alighted from the carriage.

Today, she was dressed in a dark blue cross-collared robe covered with a cloak of the same colour. Despite her advanced age, she still maintained her original appearance and demeanor.

Upon seeing her, Shao He furrowed her brows; she had nothing to say to Old Madam Chu and was disinclined to bother with her.

But Old Madam Chu clearly did not intend to let her go and quickly stepped up to her, saying coldly, “Since I can find this place, do you think you can still hide?”

Shao He, hearing the warning in her words, reluctantly stood still, her gaze coldly fixed on the other.

Noticing the hostility in her eyes, Old Madam Chu huffed lightly, “Perhaps we should sit down and talk, shall we?”

“What does Old Madam wish to discuss with me?” Shao he looked at the person in front of her, her tone very impatient.

The Old Madam Chu sharply rebuked, “Is this how the Imperial Censorate teaches you manners, to make an elder stand outside and talk to you?”

“Old Madam might have forgotten, but I am no longer a daughter of the Imperial Censorate. Their daughter and the lady of the marquis mansion died long ago—an event Old Madam should be very clear about!” Shao He retorted fiercely, sparing no courtesy for such people.

“You…”

“Old Madam, calm down, let’s not lose sight of our purpose here, why get upset with her?” the nanny by Old Madam Chu’s side whispered softly.

Old Madam Chu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart and with a pleasant demeanor once more said, “How about you let me see the child first, and we can slowly talk about the rest.”

“I don’t see anything to discuss with Old Madam, nor will I let you see the child.” Shao He’s tone was very firm.

Old Madam, trying to be patient, said, “How about I let you return as the lady of the Marquis of Pingnan, and we can even execute Luo Jiner, would that suffice?”

“Old Madam thinks I am greedy for vanity, but actually, I have no interest in the status of the lady of the marquis mansion; please do not disturb my life with the child anymore.”

Shao He sneered scornfully, if it were not for lack of power, how could she easily spare that scoundrel and his paramour?

If Old Madam Chu knew her intention to kill her grandson, would she still want her back at Marquis’s Mansion?
