The Great Physician

But what could Old Madam He do?

Li Ruozhuo may not understand the rules, but anyone with eyes can see what's going on. Li Ruozhuo is right.

Madam He threw the teacup beside her onto Madam Wu's shoulder: "You have disgraced the He family."

Wu burst into tears. She dared to scold Li Ruozhuo, but she dared not disobey her mother-in-law.

Master He couldn't sit still either, so he knelt down with his wife, meaning that his mother was being lenient and wouldn't make things too difficult for her.

Old Mrs. He looked at Wu with exasperation: "Aren't you going to clean up your mess or make your relatives laugh at you?"

Wu understood and pulled her husband up, quickly taking the servants to take their son away.

As she walked, Qin Shi and Li Xiaoshan were left isolated in the middle of the ground, looking rather frail and pitiful.

Li Ruozhuo coldly sneered at Old Madam He: "That's it?"

Madam He said, "You're too aggressive. How can you possibly enter the He family with such a demeanor?"

Li Ruozhuo then asked, "Is the old lady finished?"

Old Madam He frowned as everyone in the He family cast disapproving glances at her.

Mr. He hurriedly replied, "Azhuo will follow Grandmother's arrangements."

Li Ruozhuo stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, that's your grandmother, not my Li family's grandmother. I think you He family members have no intention of admitting your mistakes. How can you stay long in such a dangerous place?"

She left without giving him a chance, and Madam He was so angry that her hands trembled.

Mr. He wanted to follow the First Madam and General He, who both looked at him with wary eyes.

Mr. He reluctantly withdrew his foot.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Qin Shi, but no one knew what to do with Li Xiaoshan.

She retorted angrily, "What about our Shan?"

The problem is that Li Xiaoshan has been ruined by He San. Whether to marry her or not needs to be discussed beforehand; it can't be decided hastily.

Seeing that the He family was unmoved by her anger, Qin called out to the foolish Li Xunda, "Say something!"

Li Xiaoshan rushed to Li Xunda: "Father, please do justice for your daughter!"

Li Xunda looked up blankly at Old Madam He. She had already suffered a loss, and the only thing she could do was to get the He family to acknowledge the marriage, but in that case, her daughter would marry a fool.

Li Xiaoshan is Li Xunda's darling daughter, so how could he possibly force her into marriage?

Suddenly, Madam He said, "We don't want things to get out of hand like this with Lord Li. It's difficult for both families. Why don't you take Sister Li back first? We'll take care of the doctor and medicine since she's been frightened. The rest can be discussed and decided by both families. Of course, we both have responsibilities. My He family has people who are ignorant and will be severely punished, but the Li family also has people who should be punished, right?"

Li Xiaoshan suddenly looked up at Old Madam He. What did she mean? Did she mean that she had only herself to blame and that the He family didn't want to take responsibility?

Li Xunda listened but didn't listen, but why was Li Xiaoshan like that? It wasn't just Li Xiaoshan herself, it was related to Li Ruozhuo, it was all because of his Li family.

Li Xunda pulled Li Xiaoshan up: "Let's go home."

………………

The streets were filled with noise.

Li Ruozhuo sat in the carriage he had come in, lifting the curtain as the street was blocked off.

She asked the driver, "What brings you here?"

The driver, not knowing why the seemingly silly woman had suddenly become normal, didn't dare to ask and jumped out of the car to inquire.

He won't come back: "It turns out that the Right Minister's riding minister suddenly fell off his horse and was unconscious, so the servants dared not move."

Li Ruozhuo jumped out of the car upon hearing this.

Seeing the driver following her, she turned around and said, "Okay."

The sudden surge of fierce energy immediately silenced the driver.

Li Ruozhuo pushed through the crowd to the open space where his attendants had blocked the way. There lay a person dressed in a black brocade official robe, but his face was not visible. If he was the Right Minister, he should be a middle-aged man.

Then a servant said, "The doctor is taking too long to arrive, so let's help the gentleman onto his horse first."

The person was talking to a man who was boasting about his long sword. The man was obviously of some status. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his body.

Li Ruozhuo saw him go to ask someone to call out, "Wait a minute."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to her.

With a sword at his side, he frowned and asked, "Who goes there?"

"I'm a doctor, I can revive him."

doctor?

What kind of doctor?

The people in the neighborhood were talking about it.

The swordsman and his entourage looked at her suspiciously.

Li Ruozhuo squeezed to the front and indeed found the square-faced, wide-eared Right Minister. She walked up to the Right Minister and extended her hand.

The guard with his sword stopped her: "What are you doing?"

"Of course it's about whether I can save you or not. If you stop me and someone dies, you'll be held responsible."

The woman, with her striking looks, sharp eyes, and quick wit, exuded an air of arrogance that felt strange and made one instinctively want to let her go.

While the attendants were still in a daze, Li Ruozhuo pried open the Right Minister's eyelids.

He had a hidden illness, but he was unconscious because he thought he had fallen from a horse.

Li Ruozhuo stood up.

Seeing that she made no further move, the boastful attendant asked, "So what? You're a doctor. If you dare to swindle people, you'd better ask whose team you are first. I won't let you off the hook."

Li Ruozhu smiled gently, her beautiful face like spring flowers and the autumn moon.

She said, "You still want me to wake up your master and you won't kowtow to me, right?"

"you……"

The guard with the sword was somewhat unconvinced.

Li Ruozhuo looked around and saw that the mother and son were about five or six years old.

She walked up to my mother and bowed slightly, saying, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Whether this minister can wake up today depends entirely on your thoughts."

The woman, somewhat bewildered, quickly pulled her son into her arms: "I don't know anything." How could she, a lively girl, be a bodhisattva who could save people?

The guard with the sword was puzzled, as were those around him.

Li Ruozhuo then whispered something in the woman's ear with a smile and slipped her a piece of silver.

The lady widened her eyes and shook her head repeatedly, but she still accepted the money.

Li Ruozhuo held the lady's hand: "Don't be afraid, let's go to the shop and borrow a bowl. I guarantee the medicine will cure the illness and wake you up immediately, sir, to save a life..."

Before she could finish speaking, the boy, remembering her words, replied, "It surpasses building a seven-story pagoda."

Li Ruozhuo patted the boy's head with satisfaction: "Even children understand this principle: when people encounter others in trouble, they should lend a helping hand."

He pulled his wife and child into a nearby porridge shop and turned back to his attendants, instructing, "Don't leave, I'm going to get the medicine and will be right back."

The follower with the sword looked at the other followers.

The one who spoke earlier asked, "Where are you going, sis?"

The attendant with a sword at his side shook his head: "Does that mean you're going to fetch medicine?"

The attendant asked, "Should we wait or not?"

Is the woman I'm waiting for trustworthy? What if I miss out if I don't wait?

The man with his sword across his shoulder said incredulously from inside the shop, "I'd like to know what tricks she's up to."
