Chapter 192

Revenge is needed...

Luo looked dazed for a moment, glanced at Fu Wei, sighed softly, but soon let it go.

Having endured so much hardship, she no longer believed in fate.

Luo looked at her son with gentle and loving eyes.

"What my mother cares about is not revenge, but whether you are safe, whether you are hungry, cold, or bullied."

At the end, her eyes grew more resolute. "This isn't about revenge anymore. He's endangered you time and again, and he's made life difficult for us. We shouldn't hold it in. Erlang, you've always been a man of action. Mother trusts you. We can't let him look down on us."

Yu Ying seemed a little surprised when she heard her mother-in-law's slightly tough words.

After coming to this dynasty for several years, Luo had always given her the impression of being gentle and tolerant. But after coming to Yuzhang, she became even more different.

Maybe it's because a mother is strong.

Huo Shanrong repeatedly allowed his own son to harm Fu Wei, and later even wanted to take Fu Wei's life. This is something that any mother who loves her child cannot tolerate.

Fu Wei nodded slightly and smiled, "My son does have some plans in mind, don't worry, mother."

"Also, there will definitely be many people who want to curry favor with you in the future. If they bring you gifts, just tell me not to accept them."

Luo nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Fu looked at his son distressedly and said, "You've been traveling all the way, rest early. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."

After giving the instructions, Luo left the study.

After Yu Ying escorted her mother-in-law out of the study, she closed the door and turned to look at Fu Wei. "You just said you won the battle against Wuling in Pengcheng, but it certainly wasn't as easy as you said."

Fu Wei did not hide anything from her and told her about the competition in Pengcheng and the ambush he encountered when leaving the city.

Yu Ying frowned. "Wuling is openly provoking us. Has Sect Leader Zhou said how to deal with this?"

Fu Wei sorted out the paperwork on the table and said, "He said he would give me an explanation."

Yu Ying was helpless: "Don't handle it with care."

Fu Wei: "That won't happen."

After putting the documents away, he turned to look at her and said, "The people of Muyun Village are confidants of Sect Master Zhou. It's impossible for them to side with me. This time, the Fifth Master went to Pengcheng together. He and General Li will report to Sect Master Zhou on the actions of the Wuling people and the King of Pengcheng's hatred of Wuling."

"And taking this opportunity, Sect Master Zhou will definitely hold Wuling accountable and get rid of him."

Yu Ying felt relieved after hearing this.

It would be a good thing if the alliance with Wuling was not intentional on the part of Sect Leader Zhou.

Fu Wei: "Also, Sect Master Zhou will hold a celebration banquet and has invited our whole family, so we need to prepare something."

The celebration banquet was also within Yu Ying's expectations, so there was nothing surprising about it. She nodded in agreement, but she was worried about something else.

Fu Wei saw that her brows were still slightly furrowed, so he took her hand and said helplessly, "This is why I didn't want to tell you these things as soon as I got back. Shouldn't your main task now be to comfort your husband?"

When Yu Ying heard the word "comfort husband", she was stunned for a moment and looked at Fu Wei: "What do I think it means?"

Fu Wei scratched her palm slightly, tilted his head slightly and smiled: "That's what you mean."

At this time, her husband seemed to have a certain air of a scoundrel.

But such a contrast is still very touching.

Such a man, at this time, seems to have a different kind of charm.

*

After Fu Wei returned from Pengcheng, he became famous and people came to curry favor with him one after another.

Perhaps because he saw that Fu Wei would not accept his gifts, he came to seek refuge in other places.

There are many more dignitaries coming to Yu Ying's clinic than usual.

Many powerful people looked down on female doctors. They were afraid of death and cherished their lives, so they didn't trust female doctors' abilities. Even for minor illnesses, they wouldn't go to Yu Ying's clinic for treatment.

Although the clinic had previously relied on the support of Sect Master Zhou, it didn't have many related interests. Fu Wei was still a minor staff member under the Second Son of Zhou. Furthermore, Second Son of Zhou had been exiled to a remote area for several years. Even if he were recalled, it wouldn't be enough for those people to come forward and win him over.

But now it's different.

Zhou Yi not only captured the entire Lingnan with minimal casualties, but also captured the three counties of Nankang, Guiyang and Lingling.

This achievement is enough to amaze people.

Some even suspected that Zhou Erlang's exile to Lingnan was also a move by Zhou Zongzhu to conquer Lingnan.

I heard that the conquest of these places was achieved with so few casualties, and the contribution of his staff member named Fu Wei was also significant.

What really makes people remember Fu Wei is probably the news brought back from Pengcheng this time.

It has been more than half a month since Zhou Yi returned triumphantly, but Sect Leader Zhou never mentioned the celebration banquet. Instead, he held the celebration banquet when Fu Wei returned. It is hard not to suspect that Sect Leader Zhou was waiting for Fu Wei to come back.

Not only did Zhou Erlang make great achievements himself, but his staff also made great achievements. In contrast, the eldest son of the Zhou family seemed mediocre.

The Zhou family has a written family motto, which states that the position of head of the family is passed down to talented people rather than to the eldest son.

Although there are very few examples of this happening to illegitimate sons, it does exist.

Therefore, most people followed the trend and wanted to make friends with Zhou Erlang, thinking that if Zhou Erlang could really replace Prince Zhou, they could also get a share of the pie.

Zhou Yi was completely unmoved, so he turned his attention to Fu Wei. If Fu Wei refused, he would start with his family.

It can be said that 70% of the profits of Yu Ying Medical Clinic come from these dignitaries.

When Yu Ying was checking the accounts in the evening, she was surprised for a moment, then looked up at Fu Wei who was sitting on the couch reading a book, and told him about this.

"When those people saw that you didn't accept the gift, they took a different approach and sent all the money to me."

Fu Wei raised his eyes from the book and looked at her: "Did you send money to your clinic?"

Yu Ying nodded. "A minor cold can be cured with a ten-cent medicine, but they ask me for ginseng or expensive medicine. My stock of precious herbs is almost empty. What's more, when it comes to health and beauty, they use whatever is expensive, as if these herbs are free of money."

At this point, she added, "We can't reject them all. First, we'll offend people, and second, they'll think we're guilty."

Fu Wei seemed to have expected this and was not surprised.

He closed the book and put it aside, then got down from the couch, walked to her side, reached out and picked up the account book on the table, and flipped through two pages.

"I remember you told me about the clinic's profits when we were in Lingnan. With so many people getting sick during the spring and winter, it's normal for profits to be two or three times higher than before. But the current figures show they've increased by more than twenty times."

"That's right. It's so much that it makes people feel uneasy." Everyone hopes to get rich, and Yu Ying naturally hopes to get rich too, but not this kind of wealth.

It's not that I don't want to make money, but this is a disguised bribe. Anyone with a bottom line and principles will not feel at ease accepting it.

Fu Wei put the account book down, pondered for a moment, and said, "Starting tomorrow, prescribe medicine according to the disease. As for the prescription, buy the medicine if it's in stock. If it's out of stock, there's no need to search everywhere for medicine. As for health and beauty, there really are no restrictions."

Yu Ying: "Actually, there are restrictions. After all, the clinic is very busy right now, and we can only accept a certain number of guests each day."

"Then it's all fine. After all, our attitude is clear, and I think those people will give up when they see the difficulty."

Yu Ying thought for a moment and said, "You are even more popular now. I wonder how many people would want to find fault with you and if they can't find an opportunity with you, they will definitely make trouble with your family."

At this point, Yu Ying was startled: "I have to tell my elder brother, elder sister-in-law, and mother not to fall into other people's traps."

As he was about to get up and leave, Fu Wei stopped him: "It's so late, don't worry. Besides, big brother has a plan for success. Besides, big brother and sister-in-law are pragmatic and never covet things that don't belong to them. Mother will not do the same either. You don't have to worry about these things."

After hearing Fu Wei's analysis, Yu Ying felt relieved.

"I'm just too concerned."

Fu Wei smiled and said, "I will tell you all about this tomorrow. Also, be careful and cautious at the celebration banquet. It's inevitable that someone will make things difficult for you."

The celebration banquet will be the day after tomorrow.

Yu Ying's expression grew more serious as she asked, "Is there still no news from Wuling?"

Fu Wei put down the account book, a look of deep thought in his eyes: "He's probably waiting for this celebration banquet. This celebration banquet will give Wuling the opportunity to apologize."

"Huo Shanrong is a ruthless man. When he gets ruthless, he would even sacrifice his own son for his own selfish desires..." After a pause, Fu Wei's eyes darkened, and then he said coldly, "He might even kill him himself."
