Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Zhou Mansion Flower Hall

Lord Zhou, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, and his wife, Madam Zhou Huang, who had a mean and cunning look on her face, sat at the main table.

As Zhou Huangshi was making her move, a woman who still retained her charm was wiping away tears with a handkerchief. She wanted to cry but dared not make a sound. Her pear-blossom eyes, filled with tears, would occasionally glance timidly and pitifully at Lord Zhou.

She was indescribably weak and helpless, yet endearing.

She was none other than Lady Zhou's most beloved concubine, Aunt Qin.

Because her womb was fertile, she gave birth to Zhou Guoye, the only male heir of the Zhou family, and then gave birth to Zhou Ruifen. Moreover, she was beautiful and charming, and was very popular with Lord Zhou.

This made Zhou Huangshi, whose cunning expression was now even more disgusted, unable to resist giving her a sidelong glance.

Zhou Guoye stood in the middle of the room, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Father, you still need to make a decision about this!"

Lord Zhou frowned deeply, sighed, and said:

"You mean, you think your sister wasn't taken away by that Yu Shuyan, but is still at the Prime Minister's residence?"

Zhou Guoye nodded:

“Father, think about it. That’s the Prime Minister’s residence. Tell me, what can a woman who can’t even kill a chicken do to two young ladies from prominent families? Besides, the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister’s residence was clearly instructed by Steward Wang to suddenly say that Yu Shuyan had taken Ruifen and the Wang family’s young lady away.”

"But let's not even talk about Ruifen and Miss Wang, who were already at odds with her. Even if they were close to her, it's impossible for them to just leave with her quietly."

"Therefore, I think that Ruifen and Miss Wang are almost certainly still in the Prime Minister's residence."

"Master, you must save Ruifen! She is your most beloved daughter! You can't abandon her!"

Aunt Qin's voice, tinged with sobs and filled with a captivating, lingering quality, was truly alluring.

Lord Zhou was indeed heartbroken, and wished he could get up, pull her into his arms, and gently coax her:

"Alright, alright, stop crying, stop crying. Our daughter, how could I not care? Of course I have to care, of course I have to care!"

Zhou Huangshi was so angry that her eyebrows shot up. She glared at her and snorted coldly:

"My most beloved daughter? What, is my daughter not beloved? What, is a concubine's daughter more valuable than our legitimate daughter?"

Aunt Qin, after being scolded by her, pretended to be frightened and waved her hands in a panic:

"No, no, no, Madam, that's not what I meant. Madam, please don't be angry!"

His appearance made Lord Zhou feel even more distressed.

His eyes betrayed his suppressed dislike for Madam Zhou, and he said in a deep voice:

"Alright, this is not the time to talk about these things. And don't forget, you are Ruifen's legal mother, and..."

We should be worried about her safety!

Aunt Qin lowered her head and wiped away her tears, concealing the smugness in her eyes.

Looking at the top of her head, Zhou Huangshi guessed the smugness in her eyes. She gritted her teeth in anger, but snorted:

"Of course we must manage it, but sir, that's the Prime Minister! Let me ask you, what do you intend to do? The Prime Minister's residence has made it clear that Ruifen is not there, so there's absolutely no way they'll back down. What are you going to do to make them hand her over? Go straight to their door and order them around?"

A few words from her made Lord Zhou's face turn pale, but he was unable to refute her.

Seeing his discomfiture, Madam Zhou was clearly relieved and continued:

"To put it bluntly, regardless of the current situation of Ruifen and Miss Wang, since the Prime Minister's residence has stated that they are not in the residence, then they will never be able to leave the residence in their lifetime."

Aunt Qin, no longer able to contain her smugness, turned deathly pale. She glanced frantically at Lord Zhou, then at Zhou Guoye, and hurriedly said:

"What do you mean, Madam? Does it mean that Ruifen has simply vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead? Is that so?"

Both Lord Zhou and Zhou Guoye looked very unpleasant.

Clearly, although Zhou Huangshi's words were harsh, they were the truth.

Judging from their expressions, Aunt Qin guessed that she was right. She suddenly stood up, so dizzy from her anger that she almost collapsed, clutching her forehead.

Zhou Guoye rushed forward and helped her up.

Lord Zhou stood up with a "whoosh" and reached out his hand to her, worried.

Seeing that Zhou Guoye had caught her, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized that it was a bit inappropriate to behave like this in front of Zhou Huangshi.

He awkwardly withdrew his hand and sat back down in his chair, looking dejected.

Aunt Qin paused for a moment, then stared anxiously at Zhou Guoye:

"Guoye, you can't abandon your sister! Guoye, she's your own sister!"

Zhou Guoye nodded hurriedly to comfort her:

"Auntie, don't worry, don't worry, let's think of another way, let's think of another way."

Madam Zhou glared fiercely at Lord Zhou, then stared coldly at Concubine Qin and shouted:

"enough!"

Aunt Qin was startled by her shout and looked pitifully at Lord Zhou.

Lord Zhou, however, avoided her gaze.

Zhou Huangshi snorted coldly:

"Let me tell you, even if Zhou Ruifen were just a concubine's daughter, or even if she were my daughter, in this situation, who..."

There's no way to save her.

"You must understand, we are now facing the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister!"

"Offending the Prime Minister could mean the death of not only you, but our entire family!"

"What, are you going to have your whole family buried with your daughter?"

Aunt Qin, after being scolded, realized that what she said was true. However, she was unwilling to give up her daughter like that; she was truly unwilling.

Suddenly, she pushed Zhou Guoye aside, rushed to Lord Zhou's side, and knelt down on the ground.

Lord Zhou, feeling sorry for her, quickly helped her up and said urgently:

What are you doing?!

Aunt Qin pleaded tearfully:

"My lord, my lord, please save Ruifen! You must save her! Even if it's the Prime Minister, he can't just detain a minister's daughter without a reason!"

"Yes, yes, if all else fails, I'll go and complain to the emperor! Yes, complain to the emperor!"

Lord Zhou was initially looking at her with a pained expression.

However, when she said she was going to file a complaint with the emperor.

His face instantly turned extremely ugly.
