The Great Physician

The Great Physician Chapter!

Everyone else present was also quite shocked.

Seeing her daughter sobbing with tears in her eyes, she felt truly remorseful and pitiful.

Li Xunda, regaining some composure, asked in a low voice, "Is Shan true?"

When Li Xiaoshan looked up, she saw Li Ruozhuo standing at the door, pointing her index finger with a look of shame and anger: "Father, it's all Li Ruozhuo's fault that I was harmed."

Li Xunda, Li Xiaoshan, and Li Ruozhuo: "So it's true?"

Li Xiaoshan said, "Father, Li Ruozhuo pretended to be stupid. She drugged me. She's the one who harmed me."

Her daughter-like words and actions clearly conveyed the truth.

Li Xunda was so dazed that he lost his balance and fell straight down in the chair.

The He family members looked at each other with different expressions.

Qin Shi said, "My lord, please do justice for Shan."

Li Xunda looked up blankly at Li Ruozhuo, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

He had high hopes for his daughter, but when she was suddenly violated by a mentally challenged man, he was heartbroken and had long forgotten to investigate who was responsible.

Li Ruozhuo smiled and stood in the middle of the ground, blinking her eyes with a pleased expression.

His expression might suggest schadenfreude, but he's definitely not stupid.

Both Madam He and the First Madam had met Li Ruozhuo before, and they looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

Mr. He whispered behind Madam He, “Grandmother Azhuo is a very intelligent person.”

When Madam He turned around, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes at her grandson. It was a reproachful anger, probably because he had known all along.

Mr. He chuckled and said, "My grandson will explain to you later."

Only then did Madam He turn around.

After all, Li Xiaoshan's accident happened in her own home and it also involved her other grandson.

Li Xunda was completely stunned; his face showed no other reaction than pain.

Madam He asked, "What exactly happened?"

Qin cried out, "It was Li Ruozhu who harmed people! Please, Madam, do justice for my daughter!" She then wiped away her tears and burst into sobs. Some people sided with her, while others sided with the seemingly unaffected girl.

The girl suddenly straightened up and stepped forward to the center of everyone, saying, "First of all, my feud with Li Xiaoshan is related to the Li family's background. No one except a member of the Li family has the right to slander me."

The smile on her lips was so defiant, and her upright posture was like a proud pine tree, inspiring respect.

Furthermore, her words were clearly directed at Qin's statement that Qin was not worthy to let Old Madam He make the decision.

Not only was he not stupid, but he was also arrogant in his demeanor and in his speech.

The moment the words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned.

After a moment of stunned silence, Mr. He unconsciously expressed his disagreement.

Before they could finish speaking, Li Ruozhuo turned to Madam Wu and said, "There's someone the He family should keep an eye on." His gaze was sharp and determined, like that of a hawk on the grassland, flashing with hatred that sent chills down one's spine.

Wu's lips twitched as she asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Ruozhuo said, "What do you mean? Why is your foolish son in the backyard? And why is he insulting Li Xiaoshan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Madam Wu.

Yes, previously everyone was focused on Li Xiaoshan and Qin Shi's words and felt that they had overlooked the fact that the He family elder was born mentally challenged and had a dedicated servant, but that he was certainly not in the inner courtyard.

Feeling a vague sense of unease and crisis, Madam He asked Madam Wu, "What exactly happened?"

Madam Wu hurriedly said, "Today, my daughter-in-law gave birth to Sanlang, who is her own son. What's wrong with Sanlang going to the inner courtyard to fulfill his filial duties?"

"Then why did you go so far as to sleep with Li Xiaoshan to fulfill your filial duty?" Li Ruozhuo persisted.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoshan pounced on Li Ruozhuo: "It's all because of you." Li Ruozhuo's blatant words made her furious and embarrassed.

Li Ruozhuo deftly dodged her attack.

It was obvious that there was nothing that could be done about Li Xiaoshan's current condition, so Qin quickly pulled her daughter away.

Li Xiaoshan stared at Li Ruozhuo with a bloodthirsty gaze.

Li Ruozhuo, seemingly oblivious, smiled at Madam He and said, "Don't you all want to know the truth? It was Li Xiaoshan's third wife, Madam Wu, who conspired to harm me, but instead, Li Xiaoshan suffered the consequences."

Her ambiguous smile was truly ironic.

When has Madam He ever been humiliated like this?

He demanded sharply of Madam Wu, "What exactly happened?"

Because the initial criticism was directed at Li Ruozhuo, including the maid's tense words at the door, no one was a fool. Even though Madam Wu refused to get involved, the maid confessed to Old Madam He when asked.

The Wu family's room also contained the drugs, and the evidence was complete, leaving no room for them to renege on their debts. The truth was revealed: the three of them had been plotting against Li Ruozhuo.

After hearing this, Mr. He's face darkened, and he said, "Third Aunt, don't you know that Ah Zhuo is my fiancée?"

Seeing that Old Madam He's face had turned pale with anger, Madam Wu slowly knelt down.

"It's all the daughter-in-law's fault. She also wants to find a wife for Sanlang to carry on the family line."

Li Ruozhuo angrily said, "Does your son carrying on the family line harm me?"

"I didn't do anything to you, did I? But my son fainted. Who really lost out?" Wu muttered discontentedly, her face sharp and her tone disdainful, treating all living beings like dirt.

Li Ruozhuo suddenly bent down and slapped him across the face.

The snapping sound was unusually crisp and stood out starkly in the room filled with resentment.

The room fell silent instantly; even those who weren't aware of it could tell that everyone was shocked.

The next moment, Wu covered her face and angrily said, "You little brat, how dare you hit me?"

Li Ruozhuo retorted to Wu, "I didn't suffer any harm because I was lucky, not because you were kind enough to let your foolish son rape someone. Your words are worse than those of an animal." His cursing was crisp and forceful.

Wu nodded, feeling the scrutinizing gazes from all sides, and slowly lowered her head.

Suddenly she knelt down and pleaded with Old Madam He: "Mother, please do justice for your daughter-in-law! Your daughter-in-law is the third wife of the household, yet you dare to lay a hand on her."

Li Ruozhu snorted, "What kind of person is someone who only has seniority but no conscience? You're not even worthy of lifting a finger; it would be too lenient for me to do that. I should be the one to kill you."

The words "I'll kill you" were squeezed out from between his teeth, full of hatred, making people tremble with fear upon hearing them.

Wu grabbed Old Madam He's thigh.

Although the others didn't understand the girl, they didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Only Old Madam He, who had been glaring angrily at Madam Wu, suddenly looked at Li Ruozhuo with the same dissatisfaction as Madam Wu.

That makes sense, but the girl was too aggressive (forceful).

She coughed and said, "If the elders haven't spoken yet, you should step aside."

Li Ruozhuo laughed loudly: "I've only ever heard of reason prevailing everywhere, never of seniority being the only one who can achieve anything. Madam He, I demand an explanation from your He family. The Third Madam deliberately harmed me, are you going to do anything about it or not?"

She was really persistent and wouldn't listen to the old man's words.

Madam He turned to Mr. He with a displeased expression.

Mr. He quickly raised his head: "Grandma Azhuo will give you an explanation, listen to her first." His tone was quite...

Li Ruozhuo smiled and said, "As long as it's Zhun'er, then I'll listen first." After finishing, he went to Li Xunda's side and saw that Li Xunda was just staring at Li Xiaoshan with a face full of sorrow. He smiled secretly and didn't say anything.
