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

Time passes little by little.

Cui Rongxing, who was outside, was pacing anxiously in circles.

Doctor Ding stroked his goatee and sighed softly:

"Lord Cui, you should not have too much hope. If she can really cure your mother, then I will really doubt whether all these years of studying medicine have been worthwhile."

Cui Yingying also chimed in:

“That’s right, Dad. Uncle Ding has such excellent medical skills, and even he was helpless. I don’t believe she could do anything.”

Hesitation began to flicker in Cui Rongxing's eyes.

Bai Ziyu frowned slightly and looked at Cui Yingying:

“Yingying, Madam Yuan said that she would only ask your uncle to fulfill his promise if your grandmother is cured. Doctor Ding also said that the old lady probably won't live past tonight. In that case, why not let her give it a try? In any case, it won't cost you anything, right?”

Cui Yingying suddenly stared intently at Bai Ziyu with a puzzled look.

After a long while, she pointed at him, frowned, and said strangely:

"Wait a minute, Brother Ziyu, why are you so protective of that woman? Is it just because she saved your life?"

Cui Yingying's question startled Bai Ziyu, and the image of Yu Shuyan's eyes when he was trapped in darkness resurfaced in his mind.

When Cui Yingying saw him, she seemed dazed, and the hesitation in her eyes deepened.

"Brother Ziyu, you wouldn't be... you wouldn't be..."

Bai Ziyu looked at her, her lips moving constantly. Thinking about what she might say, he, who could always remain calm and composed in the face of anything, suddenly felt a pang of panic.

"You haven't been cursed by that witch, have you?"

Her words caused Bai Ziyu's eyes, which had been filled with panic, to suddenly turn into helplessness and self-mockery:

"Yingying, she's not a witch, you—"

"Clang~"

Before she could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the room.

Cui Rongxing could no longer contain himself. He hurriedly stepped forward, pushed open the door, and rushed inside.

Doctor Ding and the others followed them into the house.

The moment I rushed into the room, I saw that the spittoon beside the bed had fallen over.

The old woman, who was leaning against the bedside, vomited a mouthful of blood. Then, she slumped onto the bed and remained motionless.

Cui Rongxing rushed over in fright and saw the old woman lying motionless in a pool of blood. His eyes widened in horror.

He turned sharply, glared at Yu Shuyan standing by the bed, and cursed through gritted teeth:

"This is what you call being able to save my mother? Although my mother is seriously ill, she is not a tool for you to use to fabricate lies and gain fame. You are treating human life like dirt, and I will make you pay with your life!"

As he spoke, he shouted outside:

"Help! Help!"

Immediately, his guards rushed in, lifting the curtain.

Cui Rongxing pointed at Yu Shuyan and roared:

"Drag her out into the yard and beat her badly. This kind of liar who disregards human life..."

"Kill them all!"

Several guards immediately rushed towards Yu Shuyan, intending to drag her out.

Bai Ziyu stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Shuyan.

Seeing her grandmother's tragic state, Cui Yingying was already sobbing uncontrollably. At this moment, seeing Bai Ziyu still there, protecting her...

Yu Shuyan cried even louder.

While crying, she stared at Bai Ziyu and sobbed:

"Ziyu~ Brother Ziyu, why~ why are you still protecting her? My grandmother watched you grow up since you were little~ how can you still help, help this murderer who killed her!"

Cui Rongxing's expression was also very unpleasant:

"Ziyu, what do you want to do?"

Bai Ziyu's gentle eyes were now filled with icy sharpness as he said in a deep voice:

"Uncle, putting aside the fact that Old Madam Cui is already on the verge of death, it was you who asked me to invite Yuan Niangzi, hoping that she could bring some hope to the old lady."

"Tell me, given the old lady's current condition, you've already searched all the doctors in Lingjin City who are willing and dare to try to treat her. Besides Doctor Ding, is there anyone else?"

“She was willing to come to my home and try, which is her responsibility as a doctor. Even if the outcome is not satisfactory, shouldn’t you have done something to kill her?”

Cui Rongxing's eyes flickered, a hint of hesitation flashing in them.

Seeing Bai Ziyu still speaking up for Yu Shuyan, Cui Yingying was both heartbroken and angry. Pointing at Yu Shuyan, she said:

"But I always feel that she is very strange. You said that you invited her, but she was clearly here first. Otherwise, the doorman would not have had a conflict with her. Also, if she is not a ghost, why is she wearing a veil? And why won't we watch her treat the illness?"

“If she’s not a ghost, then what is she? I think the rumors outside are true. She saved you by sheer luck. Now, she’s come to our house to try her luck again.”

"She was gambling with my grandmother's life. She was treating human life like dirt. She's the one who killed my grandmother!"

As she talked, she felt even more wronged.

I don't know if it's because Bai Ziyu is protecting Yu Shuyan, or because he feels her grandmother died unjustly.

She burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Upon hearing her words and seeing her pitiful weeping, Cui Rongxing's hesitation vanished, and he glared angrily at Bai Ziyu, saying:

"Ziyu, I want justice for my mother. Will you give in or not?"

Bai Ziyu knew that they were currently consumed by anger and wouldn't listen to him, so after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Even so, you shouldn't resort to vigilante justice. As the prefect of Lingjin City, you should know best that the law is strict. Since you believe she killed the old lady, you should imprison her and then hold a trial. You shouldn't be behaving this way, failing to distinguish right from wrong and wanting to have her beaten to death here."

He had his own plans. At this moment, they were all in a fit of anger and wouldn't listen to anything he said.

He could only buy them time to calm down before he could think of a way to rescue Yu Shuyan.

Regardless of what outsiders say about Yu Shuyan's medical skills, he simply believes in her.

This kind of trust is a natural, spontaneous trust that requires no thought.

Even though the old lady wasn't saved this time, he still felt that she had done her best.

Cui Rongxing, however, was completely blinded by his mother's pitiful appearance.

At this point, he was no longer listening to Bai Ziyu's words.

He didn't want to waste any more words, so he glared at the guards and cursed:

"Are you all dead? Pull Bai Ziyu away, drag this woman out, and beat her badly. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"

Without further hesitation, the guards rushed forward.

Bai Ziyu's gentle face was now covered with frost, and he said angrily in a deep voice:

"I'd like to see who dares!"

The guards were so intimidated by his aura that they dared not approach him again.

Cui Rongxing cursed:

"Useless trash, what are you waiting for? Get him!"

The nurses looked at each other.

Bai Ziyu is Bai Chongshan's son, the junior brother of most of the court officials, and the successor of the entire literary world of Dayong.

What's even more terrifying is that he was the dream lover of almost every noble lady in the Great Yong Dynasty.

Letting them touch him really makes me incredibly nervous.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Yu Shuyan walked around to stand in front of Bai Ziyu.

Bai Ziyu was startled and tried to pull her back. But he met her calm eyes. In an instant, he understood her meaning, nodded slightly, and stood behind her.

Yu Shuyan looked at Cui Rongxing, her voice icy:

"Have you made enough of a scene? If you have, can I say a few words?"
