Chapter 616 - 616: Do You Want to Rise to the Sky and Stand Side by Side With the Sun?
Liu Shimei’s consultation room, to be more precise, was more than just an ordinary physician’s clinic.
As the owner of the Fusheng Pavilion, her consultation room was a separate small courtyard, including her study, bedroom, and a private examination room.
When she treated patients in the gynecology department, Huangfu Lingyao would spend his days in her small courtyard.
Madam Miao and her daughter, Miao Linglong, were brought in and seated in the flower hall. They were served tea and treated with utmost courtesy.
But—
The Silly Second Prince’s expression was truly unpleasant!
He crossed his arms and lazily leaned back in the main seat’s grand chair, one leg casually propped up on the chair’s armrest. He could be described as sitting without any decorum, utterly indifferent.
“I told you, Miao Longzi, didn’t we clarify things last time? Your ancestor at home is too noble, even more formidable than the Empress Mother. Wife won’t treat her illness, no matter what! What are you here for?”
He was unyielding, not giving an inch of face.
He couldn’t stand Miao Linglong. If it were him, he probably would have treated Madam Miao’s illness to the extreme!
Did Miao Linglong like the Silly Second Prince?
Of course, that was impossible!
She had never shown him a good face, and she continued the same now!
She didn’t even want to look at this fool. Miao Linglong turned her head to the other side, refusing to talk to him at all, thinking, ‘Ever since the engagement with Liu Shimei, the Silly Second Prince has become more and more arrogant! Doesn’t he realize what kind of person he is?’
Although she didn’t necessarily like Liu Shimei, she couldn’t deny that Liu Shimei was universally acknowledged as the most beautiful and talented woman. Even if she wasn’t suitable for the crown prince, she could marry a powerful and influential nobleman.
But fate had a different plan, choosing this fool!
Miao Linglong had suffered at the hands of Huangfu Lingyao, but Madam Miao had not.
Facing the two fools, Huangfu Lingyao and this young lady, how could Madam Miao swallow her pride? She sneered, “King Dun Yu, even though you and Eldest Young Miss Liu have a relationship, you’re not yet married. Yet you constantly visit her. Haven’t you considered the rumors this might cause about Eldest Young Miss Liu? What will people say? They will say that Eldest Young Miss Liu has no virtue, no modesty, mingling with men all day, unable to live without them!”
Huangfu Lingyao,”…”
He thought, ‘Well, well! So, this old woman dared to insult my wife that day at Duke An’s residence. That’s why she’s angry now, isn’t it? I’ll make sure she regrets it!’
He was about to retort when Liu Shimei arrived just in time.
She had a neutral expression, her eyes dark, and she walked in without courtesy. “Madam Miao, although my husband is not very sensible, it’s not anyone’s place to lecture him!”
Last time, Madam Miao accused her of lacking restraint. Now she wanted to lecture her fiance. Did Madam Miao want to compete with the sun for the sky?
She didn’t mind giving her a taste of her own medicine!
As she walked in, she met Madam Miao’s gaze and said coldly, “Furthermore, at Duke An’s Residence, I had to endure your offensive words about me. But now you come to my territory to criticize me again. Is this the attitude one should have when seeking medical help?”
Madam Miao’s face stiffened. She wanted to retort, to say: I spoke the truth!
Miao Linglong’s expression was also grim. She whispered, “Mother.”
Liu Shimei was right; they were here seeking medical help, and in such a situation, they should maintain a humble demeanor..
