After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

“Madam, if you know the Second Young Master, could you please speak on my behalf? The ointment I sold to him that day was definitely not a defective product.”

"As for why it didn't work..."

Ye Yuanfeng felt very unhappy watching the shopkeeper pleading with Ye Qingwu, as if he should be afraid just because Ye Qingwu was there.

"Ye Qingwu, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Ye Yuanfeng snorted coldly, "I'm demanding an explanation from this shopkeeper."

"An explanation?" Ye Qingwu sneered. "Whom should we ask for an explanation from, Ye Qingzhu?"

Ye Yuanfeng snorted heavily, his voice filled with disgust as he said to Ye Qingwu, "Since you already know, why ask?"

"Speaking of Qingzhu, if it weren't for you, things would have turned out like this. You are utterly despicable."

Ye Yuanfeng said angrily. If Ye Xuan hadn't reminded him a few days ago, he would have taught Ye Qingwu a lesson even in this situation.

"I'd like to know, does Ye Xuan know what you've been doing outside?"

No matter how arrogant Ye Yuanfeng is, he has no official position, and there are many people in the capital who are just like him.

"Hmph, don't try to intimidate me with your father's influence." Ye Yuanfeng looked at Ye Qingwu with disdain. "I forgot, Ye Qingwu, didn't you keep saying you had nothing to do with us? What are you doing now?"

"Trying to use these things to warn me? You think too highly of yourself!"

Even in front of outsiders, Ye Yuanfeng spoke without any politeness. He simply could not bear that his sister, whom he used to look down on the most, could have such a change in status, not to mention the humiliation he suffered a few days ago because of Ye Qingwu.

These things combined are truly infuriating and hateful.

Xiao Si, who had come with Ye Yuanfeng, saw that the crowd was gradually growing because of the commotion and immediately sensed something was wrong. She quickly came to Ye Yuanfeng's side and said anxiously, "Second Young Master, you'd better not say anything. No matter what, the former young lady is now the Regent's Consort."

"So what?" Ye Yuanfeng was even more disdainful; he just couldn't swallow this insult.

"Just because she's different, does that mean I should be afraid of her?"

The shopkeeper was utterly terrified. Hearing Xiao Si's words, he realized that the lady he had just addressed was actually the Regent's Consort!

The person who wanted to smash his shop was the second young master of the Duke's mansion. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Seeing that Ye Yuanfeng still intended to continue, Xiao Si said anxiously, "Second Young Master, have you forgotten the master's instructions from a few days ago?"

"This..." Ye Yuanfeng paused, then remembered after Xiao Si reminded him.

Ye Xuan had told himself not to easily start a conflict if he saw Ye Qingwu again.

But he didn't know why, but when he saw Ye Qingwu dare to speak to him in such a tone, he became extremely angry.

The Ye Qingwu of the past would never have dared to act like this now. No matter how angry or how much he scolded her, Ye Qingwu had to take the initiative to lower her stance.

But now!

Ye Yuanfeng clenched his fists, glaring hatefully at Ye Qingwu. However, he could not disobey Ye Xuan's instructions. If today's events were to reach his father's ears, he would likely be punished again, the most severe punishment being confinement to the Duke's mansion, unable to leave.

It's really not worth it to do this for Ye Qingwu.

"Ye Qingwu, I will not argue with you today, but I will always remember what you did to Sister Qingzhu."

Ye Yuanfeng said fiercely to Ye Qingwu that he would get his revenge on her one day.

Just as Ye Yuanfeng was about to leave, a woman carrying a child ran in.

"Doctor, is there a doctor? Please save my child."

The woman looked around in a panic, then pleaded with the shopkeeper over there.

The shopkeeper stepped forward, glanced at the child in the woman's arms, and said, "Auntie, please don't rush. Let me take this child's pulse first."

Because of the woman's appearance, everyone's attention was drawn to the child.

"Look at that child, he's foaming at the mouth and convulsing. Could he have some kind of strange illness?"

"But that's not necessarily true. I think these symptoms could very well be signs of possession by an evil spirit."

Upon hearing the words "possessed by evil spirits," everyone present showed no fear. Instead, they all took several steps back, afraid of being implicated with the woman and the child.

Ye Yuanfeng, who was about to leave, heard these words and saw that the woman was walking in the direction he was coming from. He shouted sternly, "Don't come any closer, step back!"

The shopkeeper's expression also turned serious, and he said to the woman, "Auntie, I cannot treat your child's symptoms. You should go somewhere else."

People avoid anything related to evil spirits and evil spirits, and no one wants to be associated with them.

Upon hearing this, the woman was filled with despair. "Doctor, my child isn't possessed by an evil spirit, he's really sick! Please, treat my child!"

"I kneel down for you."

The woman knelt on the ground, pleading with the shopkeeper repeatedly.

"Auntie, why are you doing this? There are many other medical clinics in the capital besides mine. With so many people watching, aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"

"Leave now, I can't treat this condition."

Seeing that the woman was still kneeling on the ground, the shopkeeper's tone became sharp.

"But the nearest clinic is several alleys away. If we rush there now, my child will really die."

The shopkeeper just stood there, unmoved by whatever the woman said.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Your symptoms are clearly not ordinary. There are so many people here; I can't let you delay things."

The shopkeeper simply told the woman to leave immediately if he couldn't cure her.

"Auntie, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite and kicking you out."

"Well said, 'You're too kind'," Ye Qingwu said coldly. She really shouldn't have stopped Ye Yuanfeng from smashing the shop.

"Shopkeeper, aren't you a doctor? Isn't the purpose of running this clinic to treat the sick and save lives? Now that you've encountered a situation, you can't even take a pulse, and you just turn people away like this. Is this really the behavior of a doctor?"

The shopkeeper felt somewhat ashamed by Ye Qingwu's words. If it were anyone else in this situation, he would have also been kicked out.

But after what just happened, he already knew the woman's identity.

The Regent's Consort is not someone he can afford to offend. In response, the shopkeeper carefully apologized to Ye Qingwu, "Your Highness, it's not that I refuse to treat her, but my medical skills are truly limited."

“This child’s condition is clearly unusual and is not caused by any illness at all. At this point, there is nothing I can do to help.”
