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

Lord Zhou roared:

"Qin Yiren, I can always protect you and indulge you when you try to be clever or jealous. But this time, have you lost your mind?! Are you a pig-brain?!"

The last sentence was almost shouted out of anger.

Aunt Qin was so frightened that she trembled involuntarily.

Zhou Guoye sensed something was wrong and frowned, saying:

"Father, what happened to make you so angry?"

Lord Zhou said angrily:

"What happened? What happened? Ask her what she's done!"

Aunt Qin couldn't help but say in a sweet voice:

"Sir, I was only trying to save our daughter, what did I do wrong!"

Lord Zhou was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw that she was still being stubborn:

"I was so blind! How could I have thought you were so sweet and considerate all these years! Now it seems..."

You're a complete idiot!

Unable to contain her delight, Madam Zhou gave a disdainful snort:

"I told you long ago, what good could come from a brothel? But you wouldn't believe me, sir. Now look what you've done, you've gotten yourself into big trouble!"

This time, Lord Zhou did not speak up to protect Consort Qin. He simply took another deep breath, turned his head away, and clearly did not want to see Consort Qin.

Madam Zhou Huang became even more smug, looked at the puzzled Zhou Guoye, and sneered:

"Your aunt actually went to the Lingjin Prefecture government office to file a complaint against the Prime Minister's residence and had your sister placed under house arrest!"

"If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and rushed over to bring the person back, explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, she would already be leading the government officials to the Prime Minister's residence demanding her return!"

Zhou Guoye was shocked and looked sharply at Aunt Qin:

"Auntie, you're so foolish!"

When Aunt Qin saw him, she actually scolded her, and hurriedly said:

"That's your sister! What, others don't care, but you don't care either? Are you going to just stand by and watch her die? Guoye, that's your sister, your own sister!"

Zhou Huangshi sneered:

"Aunt Qin, I think you're becoming more and more ill-mannered. What do you mean others don't care? Are you blaming me, your legal mother, and you, your husband, your father, for not caring about your daughter's life or death?!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lord Zhou without leaving a trace.

Sure enough, Lord Zhou's already gloomy face instantly turned even uglier. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and pointed at Aunt Qin, roaring:

"Qin Yiren, let me tell you, the trouble you've caused this time is enough to kill you ten thousand times over. Don't think that just because you're a concubine's daughter, you're not a legitimate daughter. When it's time to sacrifice for the family, you should sacrifice yourself. How dare you use our entire Zhou family to exchange for a concubine's daughter!"

"Let me tell you, it's fortunate that Madam handled things well today, otherwise, you would have been torn to pieces by now and thrown to the dogs!"

Startled by the coldness in his voice, Aunt Qin shuddered and finally realized that she had indeed caused a great deal of trouble. Unable to resist, she reached out and grabbed Zhou Guoye's sleeve.

Zhou Huangshi said with a forced smile:

"What, are you thinking of letting your son stand up for you? Oh, right, your son is the only male in the Zhou family. Sooner or later, the Zhou family will belong to you and your son, so naturally you have nothing to fear."

Zhou Guoye had a bad feeling; it was clear that Zhou Huangshi was trying to stab his father in the heart.

Although he is indeed Lord Zhou's only son, the Zhou family has more than just him as a male heir. If Lord Zhou truly harbors resentment towards him, it's not impossible that he might directly have Lady Zhou Huang adopt someone from a collateral branch.

After all, Zhou Huangshi has been trying to gain weight like this all these years.

Although, the possibility is very small.

However, Zhou Huangshi's family is quite powerful. If he loses his father's favor because of Aunt Qin, then this possibility could very well come true.

At that moment, he truly wished he could tear Aunt Qin to shreds.

His status is low-class, and he's already a burden to him. But now, he's so stupid as to do something like this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Guoye suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked at Lord Zhou and saw him staring at him with a thoughtful expression and a frown.

A sudden chill ran through him. After a moment's thought, he pushed Qin's hand away, stood up, and looked down at Qin with disappointment, saying:

“Aunt, look at what you’ve done. You’re always staying inside the house, only thinking about how to serve Father. How come you’re so sure that Ruifen is being held captive by the Prime Minister’s mansion? And you even dared to go to the government office to file a complaint against the Prime Minister’s mansion? By the way, you would never have been able to leave the mansion without Mother’s permission. How did you manage to escape this time?”

"By the way, we really owe a lot to Mother this time. If it weren't for her timely and swift discovery that you had run away from the manor and her guess that you were at the government office, bringing you back in time, I really don't know what kind of trouble you would have gotten into!"

As he spoke, he gave Aunt Qin a look.

Aunt Qin was taken aback at first, but then she realized what was going on.

She took out her handkerchief and began to sob.

“My lord, I was just in the courtyard, worried about Ruifen and crying my eyes out. But then a woman came and told me that Ruifen was being held captive in the Prime Minister’s residence and was on the verge of death. She told me to go to the yamen to report to the authorities and rescue her. I rushed out because I was worried about Ruifen.”

"A woman? What woman?"

Zhou Guoye feigned surprise and pressed for an answer.

Aunt Qin shook her head:

"I don't know either. I was in a panic at the time. All I know is that she said she was asked to do it by Ruifen. I didn't ask who she was!"

Zhou Guoye continued in surprise:

"How could a woman of unknown identity have entered our residence and found your courtyard so easily?"

As he spoke, he looked at Madam Zhou:

"Mother, do you know who that woman is?"

A flicker of panic flashed in Zhou Huangshi's eyes, but she feigned composure and coldly snorted:

"What woman? Where did this woman come from? I don't know anything about her. Qin Yiren, you're a liar!"

"Your illness just won't go away. Now that you've gotten yourself into trouble, you're making up some random woman. Only you could come up with such an excuse."

Aunt Qin was truly anxious this time:

"Madam, your words are slander."

As he spoke, he hurriedly looked at Lord Zhou:

"Sir, how come there's a woman here? If you don't believe me, call the doorman over, and I can confront him face to face."

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Madam Zhou.

Zhou Huangshi became anxious and started cursing:

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm deceiving the master here, you lowly servant girl?!"

"All right!"

Lord Zhou suddenly shouted angrily in a cold voice.

Then, a cold gaze swept across Zhou Huangshi and Aunt Qin's faces, finally landing on Zhou Guoye:

"Now that this has happened, the time is not to investigate who is right and who is wrong. I just want to ask, is there any way to remedy this situation?"
