Chapter 81: Chapter 82 When Even a Cannon Fodder is Not Qualified
“How could you be together with Brother An?” Xia Zhaohe asked incredulously.
Shao He glanced at the person beside her and cast her eyes down to hide the look in them, respectfully saying, “Replying to the Commandery Princess, I am just treating this gentleman’s illness. The heart of a doctor is like that of a parent’s, and moreover, I am a widow with a child, someone the gentleman would certainly not fancy.”
“You’ve lost your husband? And you have a child?” Xia Zhaohe asked in disbelief.
“Indeed,” Shao He replied calmly.
Chu Yu’s face next to her turned ashen and his hand clenched into a fist beside him. This was clearly a curse on him. This woman was becoming more and more audacious!
When Xia Zhaohe heard about her being a widow with a child, her hostility faded, and her expression softened a lot.
...
“Then who is your child’s father, and how did he die?” Xia Zhaohe asked with great curiosity. @@novelbin@@
Shao He, seeing the puzzled look on her face, began to concoct a story, “The father of the child abandoned his wife and child, doted on his wife and mistreated his concubines, and even wanted to kill both me and the child. He’s simply a scumbag.”
“My goodness, that man truly deserves to die!” Xia Zhaohe was extremely shocked upon hearing this, never expecting such men existed in the world, truly disgraceful.
Shao He continued, “He who does not provide for his child does not deserve to be my child’s father, as good as dead.”
“You’re doing the right thing. A man who abandons his wife and child and does not care for his child should not be spared,” Xia Zhaohe agreed, patting her shoulder approvingly.
Little did they know that the two individuals beside them had extremely unsightly expressions.
Pei Huaian, feeling guilty, could only listen as he touched his nose in the face of these accusatory words.
Chu Yu, on the other hand, felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. Now he lacked any qualification to refute, even though he was upset, he could only endure it.
Just then, a maid from Princess Huimin’s side came over, bowed to a few people and then looked at Shao He, “Princess Huimin invites Doctor Shao to accompany this maid for a visit.”
Shao He bowed slightly to everyone and followed the maid away, while the other three dispersed as well.
In the chamber, Princess Huimin repeatedly asked about the treatment and the side effects of the concealer, only relaxing after receiving a positive response.
“Summon someone to bring some gold and silver jewelry from the treasury. Let Doctor Shao choose some,” Princess Huimin, always generous, as for her, as long as she could treat her face well, no amount of gold and silver jewelry was too much to give away.
“Princess, this…”
“No matter, there is plenty of such things in the mansion, you can take whatever you like,” Xu Han said with a smile, looking at the nervous figure.
“This is a token of my appreciation, take it all,” Princess Huimin, seeing her looking uneasy, waved her hand grandly, bestowing all the gold and silver jewelry upon her.
Shao He left the Princess’s Mansion with these rewards and had not walked far when she was stopped by Chu Yu.
“You truly are a heartless woman; I thought you had changed, but I didn’t expect you to remain so unrestrained!”
Shao He, displeased, looked at the person in front of her and said coldly, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Let me pass!”
“Don’t play the fool here with me. It was clearly your doing that made Princess Huimin kick Jiner out of the mansion.”
Chu Yu, with wide eyes, stared at her fixedly, his eyes filled with anger, particularly after seeing her rewarded his heart felt even more blocked. She was supposed to lead a less than ideal life.
“Heh, how foolish, two people without brains make a perfect match.”
Shao He, upon seeing the pitiful Luo Jiner not far away, realized what was going on. Such a clichéd tactic, these full-of-holes words, only a brainless person like Chu Yu would believe.
“What did you say! Say it again!” Chu Yu was at the peak of his anger at that moment.
Shao He took a step forward, facing his furious eyes, and with slightly parted lips, she said, “I said, one of you is lowly and incapable, trying to climb high on the social ladder, while the other killed his wife and child, wanting to marry his beloved woman but not daring to do so!”
“Marquis Chu dares to kill his wife; how come now he does not dare to admit that Luo Jiner is his lover? What about the benefactor angle? Are you also afraid of being condemned by the public? Or do you also care about face?”
“And you, climbing step by step can be done, but you need to have brains for that. Someone like you is not even qualified to be cannon fodder!”
Shao He was genuinely angry this time, she herself did not know why she felt so irritable inside, and since Chu Yu insisted on banging his head against the muzzle, there was no need to be polite to him anymore.
These continuous torrent of words left Chu Yu dumbfounded; he never knew that Shao He had this side to her, so stunned he couldn’t say a word and stood there speechless.
Luo Jiner was also scared stiff by her appearance, forgetting to cry and standing still, taking a while to come back to her senses.
“If it weren’t for what you told Princess Huimin, how would she have thrown me out, and even implicated the Prince?” Luo Jiner held her embroidered handkerchief, looking pitifully wronged.
Shao He scoffed, taunting, “Miss Luo truly knows how to act, your ability to lie is indeed unrivaled.”
“You’re talking nonsense; I didn’t lie, I only spoke the truth!” Luo Jiner hurriedly defended.
Shao He shook her head, “Your level of lying is too amateur, anyone else would surely not believe it, but Marquis Chu who lacks a brain does.”
Chu Yu finally came to his senses upon hearing her disparage Luo Jiner and himself, and burst out in rage, “Shut up!”
What do you think?
