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

With a slight movement of her fingers, an invisible silver needle swiftly pierced into the Hegu acupoint of Wenmu.

As instructed, inserting the needle into this acupoint will cause a sharp pain, but will not cause any actual harm.

"Ah~"

As expected, Wen's mother cried out in pain and jumped up.

His voice was full of energy and his pulse was strong; he didn't look weak or sick at all.

Aunt Niu already disliked Wen's mother, and now the contempt in her voice was even more pronounced:

"Hey, weren't you dizzy? What, you're not dizzy anymore? Oh, let me think... you just fainted right when you were about to sign the contract. You weren't faking it because you didn't want to sign!"

Everyone looked at Wen's mother with suspicion. Clearly, they all felt that Aunt Niu's words made sense. Otherwise, how could she have fainted so conveniently?

Wen's mother was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but for a moment she didn't know how to defend herself.

Wen Qing panicked, but still maintained a gentle demeanor, looking at Yu Shuyan with tears in her eyes:

“Sister-in-law, we want to take Mother to see a doctor, and you won’t let us, but you even brought up some kind of goddess doctor. If you care about money, just say so if you want us to sign a contract. Why let Aunt Niu here, distorting the truth and maliciously framing us? My mother must have been so angry with you just now that she was so upset when she woke up that she acted strangely.”

“Sister-in-law, you can care about money, and you can disregard Mother’s life or death, but how can you lie and say you’re a ‘goddess doctor’? Where is the goddess doctor? We haven’t seen her. Where is she?”

She was clearly trying to distract herself.

Suddenly, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd:

"Goddess Doctor, oh my, so that Goddess Doctor is called Yuan Niangzi?"

"You know this legendary doctor?"

"Of course I know. You've heard that the son of Bai Chongshan, the dean of Songhe Academy, is on the verge of death due to illness, and even the imperial physicians in the palace are helpless!"

"I know, tell me quickly, what's wrong?"

"Oh dear, he's all better now, bouncing around like a baby. I heard it was a goddess who cured him. And also~"

"And what?"

"Moreover, I heard that the goddess doctor said that if you want her to treat you, you need the approval of Yu Shuyan, the daughter of the Yu family. Because Yu Shuyan is her savior."

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Of course, I've heard that the goddess doctor makes house calls at the Yu family pharmacy."

"So, the divine physician might actually be in the Yu family. Could it be that we've all misunderstood Madam Yu?"

"Oh dear, since it involves Dean Bai, the news must be true. This goddess doctor is really amazing."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's just a coincidence. I don't believe a woman could have any real skills. I have heard that Doctor Ouyang is quite skilled and has cured many difficult and complicated diseases."

······

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, some believing and some doubting.

Yu Shuyan thought to herself, "As expected, one attempt wasn't enough. It seems I'll have to try a few more times."

Wen Lang's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Yu Shuyan without making a sound.

He knew that woman's abilities; if Yu Shuyan truly was her savior, then Yu Shuyan's value needed to be reassessed.

Wen Lang put aside his scheming thoughts, looked at her with the tender gaze that Yu Shuyan had once adored in his past life, and said softly:

"Shuyan, if the divine physician is here, please ask her to come out and examine Mother."

Yu Wantao and the others all looked worried.

After all, they knew that the goddess doctor did exist, but she had already left, and they didn't know where she had gone.

If Yu Shuyan couldn't get the goddess doctor to come, wouldn't that give people something to say, making it clear that she was a daughter-in-law who only cared about money and didn't care about her mother-in-law's life?

Wen Lang noticed the tension and unease in Yu Wantao and the others. He wondered to himself, "Could it be that Yu Shuyan is lying?"

She now lies to him.

Could it be that she's really starting to defy our control?

Yu Shuyan turned around and gave Yu Wantao and the others a reassuring look. Then, glancing at Wen's mother, who was feigning weakness, she smiled and said:

"Yes, I'll ask the divine physician to come out right away. However, Madam Yuan is being too polite, saying that I am her savior. In fact, I only gave her a bowl of water when she collapsed from exhaustion while gathering herbs at my doorstep. So, although I can persuade her to treat my mother, her consultation fee cannot be reduced."

Wen Qing frowned:

How much is the consultation fee?

Yu Shuyan deliberately made a difficult statement:

"One hundred gold coins."

A collective gasp filled the air; after all, one hundred gold coins was no small sum. For an average family, it would cover their expenses for ten or twenty years.

Wen Qing blurted out:

"A hundred gold pieces? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Yu Shuyan sighed softly:

"When Lady Yuan treated Dean Bai's son, she also charged him one hundred gold coins. She treats everyone the same."

"But don't worry, sister. My mother knew that my dowry was almost gone, so she gave me a hundred gold coins to take back and help with household expenses. Since Mother urgently needs this money for medical treatment, it's only right that we prioritize her needs. I'll send the money to her right away and ask her to help."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wen's mother, whose face was flushed with anxiety, and made a gesture to turn around.

However, she didn't move quickly.

She was waiting, she was sure. Given her mother's avarice, how could she possibly resist the thought of that hundred taels of gold she already had being given away?

One step, two steps, three steps~~~

"Wait a minute~ I don't need her to look at me, I'm fine."

When Wen's mother's voice came, Yu Shuyan's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

Turning around, I was already surprised:

"Mother, don't worry about the money, your health is the most important thing."

Mother Wen grew even more anxious, completely ignoring Wen Lang who was secretly pinching her and giving her meaningful glances. She pushed her away and spun her around hastily:

"Look, I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong. I don't need any treatment from Lady Yuan, just give me the money directly."

"Mother~"

No matter how shrewd Wen Lang was, he couldn't help but speak in a deep voice at this moment.

Knowing she was in the wrong, but unwilling to part with the hundred taels of gold, Wen's mother still couldn't help but say:

“I was just angry with her, but now that I’ve calmed down, I feel much better. She made me so angry, shouldn’t she at least show some respect to me, her mother-in-law?”

Aunt Niu burst out laughing.

Mother Wen glared at her and roared:

"You old hag, what are you laughing at?"

Aunt Niu stopped laughing and snorted coldly:

"I laugh. They're clearly obsessed with money, yet they always look down on Shuyan, this merchant."

"My daughter. She pretended to faint because she didn't want to sign the contract, but woke up immediately when she heard about money. I'm genuinely curious how you could be so shameless."

Mother Wen was so enraged by her that she lost her mind. She didn't care about anything else and just wanted to tear apart Aunt Niu's constantly opening and closing mouth.

He charged at Aunt Niu, waving his hands and tearing at her while cursing loudly:

"You old hag, you're everywhere! She married into the Wen family, so her things naturally belong to our family. Don't even mention using her dowry, even if it costs her her life, she'll have to give it to us. Sign a contract? Dream on, have a good time, a pipe dream!"

The onlookers were in an uproar.

Wen Lang's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

Yu Shuyan's face showed shock and grievance, but her eyes were icy cold:

Wenlang, you're really unlucky to have a mother like this!

What will you do next?
