Chapter 419 - 419: Get Lost and Play With Yourself
Despite her defeat in the competition for the title of Crown Princess, Princess Ping’an remained true to herself – arrogant, haughty, and utterly dense.
Liu Shimei glanced at her briefly. She was in a hurry to save a life and did not have time to deal with her. She turned to Huangfu Lingyao and said, “Lingyao, be good and go inside the hall. I’ll come find you once I’m done here.”
She also instructed Mo’er, “Shu Jun, stay here and help me. Mo’er, make sure no one comes into contact with this patient.”
Mo’er nodded obediently, “Yes, Eldest Miss.”
“But she…” Huangfu Lingyao pointed towards Yu Wanqing, wanting to say something. However, when she saw the stern look in Liu Shimei’s eyes beneath the mask, she realized there was no room for argument.
After she finished speaking, Liu Shimei knelt down to attend to the patient. This was not the time to tolerate temperamental behavior. Huangfu Lingyao reluctantly followed Mo’er into the hall but stood at the door, keeping an eye on the situation outside.
Feeling ignored, Yu Wanqing was furious. She approached Liu Shimei, intending to settle the score.
Liu Shimei furrowed her brows, abruptly stood up, and delivered a swift kick, angrily saying, “A matter of life and death is at hand, I don’t have time for you, so get lost!”
Everyone was taken aback!
She was petite, and her physical strength was limited, even though she had some knowledge of self-defense. Her kick did not send Yu Wanqing flying.
Yu Wanqing only took two steps back, seething with rage. “Liu Shimei, you dare to kick me!”
“Yu Wanqing!” Liu Shimei’s voice rose, and her eyes, visible outside the mask, seemed capable of shooting ice arrows. She enunciated each word, “Saving lives is like fighting a fire! This person has severe leprosy, which is contagious! You brainless fool, go play with yourself somewhere else, don’t jeopardize someone else’s life!”
Seeing Yu Wanqing looking disgruntled, she really wanted to give her another kick, but she had no time. She said coldly, “Anyone else who delays me in saving lives, I don’t mind if you spend the rest of your life in bed!”
She exuded an aura that seemed to say: Whoever messes with me will end up paralyzed. For a moment, Yu Wanqing was actually silenced by her words.
Yu Wanqing turned to her maidservant, who was still holding her. She then glanced at the patient on the stretcher and asked, “Is it leprosy?”
“Yes, Your Highness! Maybe we shouldn’t stick around here. What if we catch the disease?” Xiang’er made it crystal clear that she heard every word of Liu Shimei’s remark.
But today, Yu Wanqing had heard that Liu Shimei’s medical hall had opened. She wanted to embarrass Liu Shimei and was not about to let go of this opportunity to mock her.
Her chin lifted, and she said, “Fine, we won’t go over there. We’ll stay right here and see what kind of jokes this troublemaker can stir up!”
People who knew Princess Ping’an were familiar with her self-proclaimed proud and peacock-like attitude. Those who did not know her thought she probably had lost her mind when she went out!
This was a contagious disease, didn’t she know what leprosy was?
At this moment, hearing the commotion outside, the Liang family also sent out a few representatives to check the situation outside.
But they were all stopped by Mo’er. “Young masters and young ladies, the Eldest Miss said, to prevent more people from getting infected, everyone should stay away.”
Although everyone was worried, they still quietly watched.
Liang Wei waved his hand. “Eldest, go and send someone to control the situation outside, listen to what Shimei says!”
Liang Yong nodded. “I’ll go now.”
Liu Shimei did not have time to care about others. She lowered her head to examine the patient.
First, she checked the patient’s eyelids, then examined the condition of the patient’s skin.
Yu Wanqing spoke again, “Liu Shimei, don’t pretend to be something you’re not!”
