Cui Shuyan nodded and went to He's house immediately.

As soon as she stepped into Zhao Simin's yard, Cui Shuyan heard Zhao Simin's trapped voice: "Go away! All of you go away!"

Beside him, there was another voice trying to persuade him: "Second sister-in-law, the baby in your belly cannot be delayed. The court doctor is here now, so don't be stubborn anymore, let the court doctor take a look at you right away."

"Ah Si, Ah Nian, drive them away."

Asi and Anian are the female guards that Duke Zhao’s Mansion found for Zhao Simin.

Perhaps because the court doctor was forcibly taken away, the woman's voice became more indignant: "Second sister-in-law, why are you so ignorant? Mother is still sick, but she still cares about the child in your belly and asked me to bring the court doctor to check your pulse. But you just chased him away! You are clearly throwing mother's kindness to the ground!"

It was at this time that Cui Shuyan walked in.

As soon as she entered, Zhao Simin felt as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She stretched out her hand towards Cui Shuyan and said urgently, "Doctor Cui, come quickly!"

Cui Shuyan walked over quickly and said in a gentle voice: "You, a maid, didn't explain yourself clearly. What's wrong with you?"

"A group of hornets suddenly flew towards me from nowhere. I dodged to the side in panic. I didn't feel anything at first, but soon after, I felt a stomachache."

As Zhao Simin spoke, she put her wrist in front of Cui Shuyan.

Cui Shuyan took her pulse directly, and after a moment her brows relaxed: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. The stomachache is probably just a stitch in the side. Just rest in bed for a while and you'll be fine."

After hearing this, Zhao Simin breathed a sigh of relief: "Doctor Cui, I'm glad to have you. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Before Cui Shuyan could say anything, the unhappy voice of the woman beside her came: "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? You refused to let the doctor I brought with me to treat you, but instead believed this wild doctor who came from nowhere. Are you dissatisfied with me or with mother?"

This statement implicitly labeled Zhao Simin as unfilial.

The Da Qi Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette, and being unfilial was a serious crime.

If they keep harping on this point, the He family could even use it as a reason to divorce Zhao Simin.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Simin became anxious.

She was about to say something when Cui Shuyan raised her hand to stop her.

Afterwards, Cui Shuyan looked at the woman, seeming a little puzzled: "Who is this?"

Zhao Simin immediately said: "This is my little sister, her name is Yuyao."

Cui Shuyan smiled suddenly: "It turns out to be Miss He."

He Yuyao glanced at Cui Shuyan with disdain and snorted coldly, obviously not intending to answer her, with an arrogant look.

"Now that your second sister-in-law is pregnant, she shouldn't worry too much about anything, but you directly accuse her of being unfilial. How can this be justified?"

"The court doctor was hired by my mother. Could he possibly harm her?" He Yuyao said disdainfully.

"The court doctor naturally has no intention of harming anyone, but women are always very careful when they are pregnant. I have been the one who has taken care of your second sister-in-law's pregnancy, and no one knows the condition of her fetus better than me. Under such circumstances, she asked me to come and see her. What's wrong?"

He Yuyao glared at Cui Shuyan and said, "Who are you? How can you be the one to teach me a lesson?"

“Oh!” Cui Shuyan chuckled, “In your eyes, this is a lesson? No, it’s far from enough.”

After saying that, Cui Shuyan stepped forward and slapped He Yuyao in the face.

After the beating, he said slowly: "This is called a lesson!"

This slap completely stunned He Yuyao.

She covered her hurt face and looked at Cui Shuyan in astonishment: "How dare you hit me!"

"Yes, I dare."

Cui Shuyan said this with a calm expression.

He Yuyao said angrily, "Just wait! Today, I will prevent you from leaving the gate of the He Mansion!"

After saying that, He Yuyao ran out.

Zhao Simin was also panicking: "Doctor Cui, hurry up, before she finds someone to come, let Ah Si and Ah Nian escort you away!"

Cui Shuyan smiled and glanced at her: "You dare to send me away without even asking me why I hit her?"

"I, I'll help you, not my relatives. Stop talking about this, and leave now! Once you leave, she won't be able to find you, and her anger will naturally subside."

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "Can you trust me?"

"Of course I believe you! However, the He family has many sons, but only one daughter, who has always been spoiled. From the time she was born until now, her father-in-law and mother-in-law have never been willing to touch her. You slapped her like this, she must be so angry that she will die, and she will definitely ask her father-in-law and mother-in-law to come and seek justice for her!"

"Then let them come."

All she wanted was for them to come.

Doesn’t He Yuyao want to make a big deal out of this?

Then make a big fuss.

She was afraid that today's incident wasn't big enough.

At this time, the court doctor probably felt that there was no need to stay any longer and wanted to leave along the wall.

"Anian, please ask the court physician to go to the side room first." Cui Shuyan was always paying attention to the movements of the court physician. Seeing that he wanted to leave, she gave the order directly.

Ah Nian responded, immediately blocking the court doctor's way, raised his hand and stepped forward: "Please come in."

The palace doctor was a little indignant: "What do you mean by this? The master is fighting with me, are you going to use me as the surgeon?"

Cui Shuyan said nothing.

Seeing that the court physician refused to leave, Anian grabbed the doctor's collar and led him out.

Cui Shuyan was amused: "The guard your mother hired for you is actually a sincere person."

She likes people who are ruthless and don't talk much.

Zhao Simin took Cui Shuyan's hand and said, "Why do you still have the heart to talk about this? My little sister has always been unruly. When she comes back later, she will definitely not let you go. You still refuse to leave. I really don't understand you."

In the past, she always thought that Cui Shuyan was a smart person.

Since you are a smart person, you should know how to avoid the spotlight.

Cui Shuyan didn't respond to this, she just looked at the clothes Zhao Simin was wearing and said, "You didn't change your clothes today, did you?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I asked you to remember the baby's fetal movements. You remembered them, right?"

"I remember it, I remember it. Whenever the baby moves, I will write it down. I dare not forget it even once." Zhao Simin couldn't help laughing. "Doctor Cui, you don't know. My husband, that fool, was so excited when he felt the baby's fetal movement for the first time. He cried and laughed. But he was so happy that his left foot stepped on his right foot, and he fell down, breaking his forehead. But he was still grinning like a fool. When his eldest brother saw it, he thought he was crazy and asked a doctor to see him. It really made me laugh to death!"

After hearing this, Cui Shuyan couldn't help laughing.

Second Young Master He looks like someone who would do such a thing.

As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

The first to bear the brunt was He Yuyao's sharp and piercing voice: "That wild doctor, come out and die!"
