Chapter 425 - 425: What Kind of Divine Curse Words Were These?
300 taels of silver meant nothing to people of their status. The real issue was…
It was for emotional distress!
Emotional distress? None of them had ever heard of such a thing!
Not just Yu Wanqing, even the Liang family members looked at Liu Shimei in surprise, not expecting such a claim.
Madam Yin and Madam Jiang nodded secretly, realizing there was such a thing; they were learning something new.
“Liu Shimei, is the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence so destitute? You must be insane to be so obsessed with money!” Yu Wanqing cursed out.
Xiang’er added, “Miss Liu, are you bullying our Princess Ping’an because she’s here without any backing?”
“Oh!” Liu Shimei suddenly smiled, tilted her head, and said, “I really am bullying Princess Ping’an without any backing. So what? Right now, you…”
She extended her slender, jade-like index finger and pointed at Yu Wanqing, saying, “You’re the fish lying here! And I…”
She pointed at herself, “I hold the knife to slaughter the fish! There are plenty of witnesses to how you insulted me in public! Shall we go to the Judicial Magistrate’s office to settle this?”
The Fusheng Pavilion was a business establishment, and the dispute that had arisen today was better suited for the Judicial Magistrate’s office, not the Ministry of Justice.
“You… you’re simply too much!” Yu Wanqing felt like she was being suffocated in her chest. She felt that if she said one more word to this infuriating woman, she might just keel over!
Liushimei wore an expression of grievance but her words held no trace of it. “The great roads lead everywhere; let each take their own path. I’ve been minding my medical clinic diligently, not bothering anyone. If you hadn’t come to provoke me, I wouldn’t even spare a thought for someone like you, Yu Wanqing. But you, Princess Ping’an, a person who’s supposed to be waiting at home for a royal decree, why aren’t you peacefully staying at home, sharing family moments with your parents and siblings? Instead, you insist on coming here to find trouble with me. Who is it that’s gone too far? Hm?”
Despite the grievance on her face, her tone showed no sign of it.
Every word she spoke made perfect sense.
Upon hearing this, her foolish dog at home naturally had to speak up, “Exactly! You, a cracked fishbowl, if you stayed at home, would Wife have any issues with you? You’re a fish, coming to someone’s doorstep to be made into soup, and you even complain that there’s not enough salt!”
Liushimei was speechless.
Yu Wanqing was speechless.
The members of the Liang family were also speechless.
What kind of divine curse words were these?!
Could the Second Prince curse people this strongly?!
Instantly, the room burst into laughter!
Yu Wanqing, as the ‘not salty enough fish’, turned black in the face, finding it hard to breathe, her face even turning purple!
Seeing this, Liu Shimei said, “In front of death, we are all equal. In front of a doctor, there is no distinction. I won’t treat you privately, but since you’re in my clinic, if you want treatment, I can see you. According to the rules, Doctor Liu won’t charge a consultation fee today, but the cost of medicine… you still have to pay!”
“You… you…” The more she spoke, the angrier Yu Wanqing got, until she suddenly widened her eyes and fainted!
Xiang’er, in a hurry, said, “Eldest Miss Liu, if anything happens to our Princess Ping’an, you won’t have a peaceful life!”
The servant girl choked, but Liu Shimei could not be bothered to pay any attention.
Mo’er immediately stepped forward and said, “You, a maidservant, dare to threaten our Young Miss! If you didn’t come looking for trouble, would all this have happened? If you’re dissatisfied, go to the Capital’s Judicial Magistrate to reason it out!”
One had to admit, whether it was the Silly Second Prince or Mo’er, they had all learned their mouth-fighting skills from Liu Shimei!
On this side, Liu Shimei had already stood up, growing a bit impatient..
