The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

Li Xunda was cursing Qin Shi.

Li Ruozhuo, whether from being hurt by Zhen Niangzi's pulling or something else, shook off Zhen Niangzi's hand and cried, "Are you two arguing? Arguing scares me."

Madam Zhen quickly comforted her, "It's not a quarrel, it's a punishment for bad people, don't be afraid, sister."

Attention was diverted.

Qin thought to herself, if he were really stupid, he probably wouldn't have interrupted Li Xunda at that time, right?

After Zhen Niangzi finished speaking, Li Ruozhuo chuckled again.

Li Xunda felt a pang of sadness.

Madam Zhen glanced at Qin Shi again at Li Xunda; "Since the princess has ordered me to visit my sister, then I must make this clear. Nobody is a fool. That old woman left in a hurry earlier. I called her but she couldn't stop you and Madam. Was she deaf? Is she deaf now?" She pointed to the doorway where Yang Mama was kneeling.

Granny Yang's shoulders trembled and her head drooped.

Li Ruozhuo suddenly pointed at himself: "I'm an idiot."

Everyone: "..."

Madam Zhen smiled gently and patted Li Ruozhuo's hand, saying, "I'm not stupid."

Li Ruozhuo chuckled again.

Qin thought to herself, "Could this fool possibly be the fool himself?"

She was considering Li Ruozhuo's (cunning) foolishness.

Lady Zhen asked Li Xunda again, "My lord, why did you make such a fuss about this matter? Did Sister Chu actually suffer any mistreatment?"

Qin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

It's obvious that they've already made such a clear decision.

Li Xunda's face turned pale and then red, the embarrassment of having his lie exposed and no longer having the nerve to explain. He turned to Qin Shi.

Qin forced a smile onto her face.

"This concubine..." she said to Lady Zhen, "Your Highness has misunderstood."

Madam Zhen immediately raised her voice: "Don't treat anyone like a fool. Did Madam Chu mistreat my sister or not?" Her sharp rebuke was stern and made people nervous.

Li Xunda angrily retorted to Qin Shi: "Don't you know that everyone else is being manipulated by you?"

Who can be manipulated by others? Only those who, after gaining power, become two-faced and hypocritical. The implication is that Qin Shi is no longer trusted and doesn't want to be manipulated.

Moreover, the power of the Qin family was given to them by Li Xunda.

That's a very powerful statement.

Qin had never seen Li Xunda speak or act so sternly.

Knowing he couldn't escape her, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down: "My lord, your concubine..." He hesitated and raised his head with a wronged expression.

She was born with a slender and delicate appearance, which was also extremely striking.

She was quickly soaked by the drizzling rain, but her disheveled state didn't make her feel embarrassed; instead, it added a touch of delicate charm.

Kneeling, her gaze yearning, she looked up at the slender figure in front of her, like a delicate flower swaying in the wind, so pitiful that I felt pity for her.

Granny Yang led the way, shouting, "Madam, it's all my fault, how can you punish me?"

Four, five, or six people knelt down, saying, "It was our fault, please punish us, Master."

Tears streamed down Qin's face, dripping onto the ground and mingling with the rain.

"My lord..." she called out, then choked up and could not speak.

Her arched eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her red lips trembled slightly, revealing endless grievances.

Having lived with Li Xunda for ten years, she knew all too well what a man could be like—a man who cherished and protected women.

Seeing the obvious reluctance on Li Xunda's face, Qin called out again, "My lord..."

"husband……"

Suddenly, Madam Zhen burst into laughter: "Think you can get away with a little coquetry? You're an old fox. You're not a young girl anymore. It's strange that someone actually falls for your tricks at your age." Her laughter was unrestrained and extremely sarcastic.

Qin was so angry that her lips trembled. "Isn't my wife just old? Why is she so venomous?"

Lin Xunda trembled as he reached out to help Qin Shi's servant back down, angrily saying, "Still trying to argue? You deserve to die!" Then, turning to the kneeling servants, he said, "Anyone who dares to lie again will be kicked out of the gate immediately."

The old women all prostrated themselves on the ground: "We deserve to die, please forgive us, Master."

Qin lowered her head unwillingly.

When Zhen Niangzi asked, "So, was it your own decision or Madam's instruction to arrange for my sister to live in this humble abode?"

When the old women were talking amongst themselves, who dared to say a word?

Madam Zhen snorted: "If you don't tell the truth, then no one will go back."

If she doesn't go back, will she kneel down and die?

Qin was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Then a sweet, soft voice said, "I'm hungry."

Lady Zhen frowned upon hearing this: "Haven't you eaten yet?"

Chan, standing far away under the eaves with a quilt over her head, said, "I've eaten three cold steamed buns, but I'm still hungry."

"Why are you eating cold steamed buns?" Zhen Niangzi asked Li Xunda.

Li Xunda immediately understood and kicked Yang Mama away: "You're still feeding my sister cold food?"

Granny Yang lay on the ground, wailing in agony.

Qin's mouth tasted bitter; she knew Li Xunda wanted to kick her.

With nowhere to vent his anger, Li Xunda pointed at the house and at Qin Shi: "What is this? Is it even habitable? How badly does it leak when it rains?" He then pointed at Li Ruozhuo: "Azhuo is just a mentally challenged child. He can be fed with just a few meals. He only needs a stuffy house. Do I lack that? Do you lack that? How cruel and vicious you are!"

Qin swore that Li Xunda had never embarrassed her in public before, and this was the first time he had ever made her lose face, whether in public or in private.

Her shoulders were shaking as she sobbed uncontrollably.

But I still didn't admit I was wrong.

Shi Chan suddenly cried out that she was cold.

She was wearing a quilt while everyone else was getting wet in the rain.

Li Xunda vented his frustrations to the maidservant.

Li Ruozhuo turned around and clapped her hands: "Azhuo is cold too, Azhuo is cold too."

"How can you not feel cold living in a cold room and eating cold food?" Madam Zhen looked back at Li Xunda with a pained expression: "If you still have any children, please make arrangements for them."

Li Xunda felt ashamed and angry, wishing he could disappear into the ground. He was accused of being a jerk.

He shouted at the two old women to go first: "Take my sister to the west courtyard to rest. Make sure the rooms are warm. Turn on the fire in the kitchen immediately. If I find anyone who dares to mistreat my daughter, I will expel her from the Ji Men immediately."

Qin felt guilty and secretly clenched her handkerchief, as if she were being insulted.

The way to
