Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 71: Chapter 72 Is that the one in the wheelchair?

“We were in…” Qingxia’s hands halted in their movement, her eyes anxiously dropping down.

Shao He turned around to look at her, her gaze deep.

Qingxia raised her head to meet her piercing gaze, feeling like prey locked in a hunter’s sights, her heart pounding violently.

Miss looks so terrifying!

“Speak, who exactly is your master?” Shao He demanded in a deep voice.

Only someone extraordinary could train such people; they were not mere maids, and she disliked having people harboring secrets around her.

...

Qingxia bit her lip and hesitated for a long time but still didn’t speak the truth.

In a cold voice, she said, “Since you refuse to tell the truth, there’s no need for you to continue staying by my side!”

After finishing her words, she stood up and walked outside.

“Miss…”

Qingxia knelt on the ground with slightly bent knees, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me, miss. I will not dare to deceive you in the future.”

Qingxia was crying, her face streaked with tears, looking pitiable.

Shao He frowned at her and after a long while, finally sat down again, “Is your master Pei Huaian?”

With red and swollen eyes, Qingxia nodded, “Young Master Pei instructed us to take good care of the young miss and young master, nothing more.”

“Enough, you may go back. I don’t like being watched, nor do I like people with ulterior motives staying by my side.”

When Qing Shan entered with steamed buns, she heard Shao He’s words and immediately went to kneel.

“Miss, our sale contracts are in your hands, you are our master.”

By her side, Qingxia was so frightened she didn’t know what to do, and hearing her sister’s words, she could only keep nodding, even regretting speaking out just now.

Qing Shan, seeing the silent miss, raised three fingers and swore, “I’ve never had the intention to spy on miss, or else I will not die a good death.”

“You…” Shao He felt somewhat moved upon hearing this. @@novelbin@@

Qing Shan continued, “Young Master Pei, when he came to see the child today, has already said that from now on we only serve you, miss. He has extracted us from the Hidden Guard, and from this day forward, we have no association with him.”

“That’s right, we live as your people and we die as your ghosts,” Qingxia chimed in.

Seeing that the two seemed truthful, and considering their dedication to caring for the children, Shao He’s tone finally softened upon hearing their earnest words.

“I will give you both one more chance. If you wish to leave me, I will not hold you back, but if you choose to remain by my side, you must behave and abide by the rules,” Shao He stated calmly, looking at the two sisters.

Qingxia and Qing Shan exchanged looks, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes, they hurriedly nodded their agreement, swearing to never do anything to betray Shao He again.

“Enough, stand up.”

Once the two stood up, Qing Shan confessed, “Miss, this residence was designed by Young Master Pei for you to purchase. The jade pendant was also sent by Young Master Pei, and yesterday it was he who came to apply medicinal powder on Xiao Linzhang. Besides this, we have kept nothing else from you.”

After hearing all this, Shao He fell silent, not expecting Pei Huaian to have helped her more than she had thought.

No wonder he knew the address; no wonder he lived in the neighboring residence with five courtyards; no wonder the house was purchased for such a low price. It turns out everything was arranged by Pei Huaian.

Even though she knew he was helping her, she always felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being manipulated.

“Miss?”

“Have you really decided to stay?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two hurriedly nodded their heads, “We only want to stay by your side, miss.”

Shao He looked up, her tone aloof, “Since you have decided to follow, you should be aware of my temperament. I hope you keep that in mind.”

“Thank you for the lesson, miss!”

They answered in unison, their demeanor full of respect.

Seeing this, Shao He nodded and casually took out two gold hairpins from her dresser and put them in their hands.

“Although my place does not compare to Young Master Pei’s, I still have silver and rewards for you.”

“Thank you, miss.”

It wasn’t the gold hairpins they cared about, but the intention behind the miss’s gesture.

With a combination of kindness and severity, she decided to keep them with her.

In the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, Luo Jiner was assisting Chu Yu in getting dressed.

At that moment, a guard reported from outside, “Marquis, the mission has failed.”

“Come in and explain, what happened?” Chu Yu said with a dark expression.

No sooner had Chu Yu spoken than the guard walked in.

“My lord, only a few of the assassins we sent last night returned, we had hoped they were about to succeed in the assassination… but unexpectedly…” The guard hesitated, his head bowed, not daring to look at the man seated above.

“Continue!” Chu Yu scolded sharply.

The guard was so frightened that his body trembled, and he steeled himself to reply, “Out of nowhere, a man wearing a mask and his subordinate appeared, and that subordinate had incredibly strong martial arts skills. He killed many of our Hidden Guards and even captured two alive. The rest had no choice but to retreat.”

Hearing this, Chu Yu’s eyes flashed with an even colder light, and his entire aura became extremely icy.

“Was the man with the mask sitting in a wheelchair?”

“Exactly so.”
