"Why are you so stubborn, girl? Were you beaten up at the Xing family's house?"

Cui Yufang's eyes glistened with tears.

"Now you're starting to care whether I live or die. Yes, I was beaten by that old man, but what's the use of saying all this now? You took his money, which is my money for selling myself. All of you, just leave and don't worry about me. I can't survive."

"Silly girl, what are you saying? If anything were to happen to you, how would your mother live?"

Cui Yufang pushed Cui Liushi away forcefully, and said with a sneer, "Don't you still have your precious son? You live only for him. Does my life or death really matter to you?"

Cui Liu was stunned. Looking at her haggard daughter, a hint of regret might have risen in her heart.

"Take some time to calm down, I won't bother you."

After saying this, Cui Liu turned and left, leaving Cui Yufang alone in the room, sobbing softly.

Xing Dali and Cui Yushan, who had been waiting outside, surrounded Cui Liushi when she came out.

"Mother, how is my sister now?"

Xing Dali also pricked up his ears and listened carefully from the side.

At this point, Cui Liu was completely disappointed with the Xing family, so she gave Cui Yushan a vague answer, saying, "Your sister is just weak and was out in the sun for a while, so she may have suffered from heatstroke and fainted. Don't worry about her."

Cui Yushan, being a simple-minded person, naturally believed his mother's words.

"That's good. I knew my sister would be alright."

After saying that, she was about to leave when Cui Liushi stopped her: "Where are you going?"

"Mother, since my sister is alright, I'll go check on her first. There are people waiting for me over there."

Madam Cui Liu knew her son well; he must have just received some money, and now he was either gambling or going to brothels.

“You can’t leave. Your sister needs someone here. I can’t manage on my own if you leave.”

"Mother, I believe you have the ability, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, he shook off Cui Liushi and ran straight outside.

At this moment, Guo Dajia was standing at the door, loudly explaining his previous behavior, which could be considered a public apology and clarification to the clinic.

"From now on, you will come here every day to clarify this until I am satisfied, understand?"

How could Guo Dajia dare to utter a single word of dissent?

They could only nod vigorously.

I'd be willing to kneel and kowtow if it meant keeping Guo Da's job.

“The matter outside has been resolved, but I cannot forgive your Xing family for framing my clinic. Please leave my clinic now; your Xing family members are no longer welcome here.”

As Cui Yulu spoke, she instructed the mute boy to drive Xing Dali out of the clinic.

“Our Xing family is a large family here, how could you treat me like this? What good will it do to make enemies with the Xing family? Don’t think that just because you’re on good terms with the magistrate’s wife, we can’t do anything to you. We have plenty of ways to deal with you, and we’ll make you beg for mercy on your knees.”

In an attempt to save face, Xing Dali shouted loudly outside.

Cui Yulu couldn't be bothered with such a person; all he did was talk a good game.

He has no other skills whatsoever.

"Ha, since you look down on the county magistrate, this guy can still keep you in check, can't he?"

Xing Dali was so frightened when he saw the waist tag that his legs went weak.

She glanced up at the handsome man beside her, then ran away without saying a word.

Lin Yun watched his departing figure, a hint of disdain on her lips.

I don't know when the prince will arrive, and it's no fun being here by myself.

When Lin Yun saw the little mute boy at the door, the moment their eyes met, a figure flashed into Lin Yun's mind.

But the little mute boy disappeared very quickly the moment he saw him.

Lin Yun wasn't sure either, and when she tried to get a better look, she found that the person was already gone.

Fu Xiaoyu had previously instructed that Cui Yulu should not be disturbed unless necessary, so he couldn't just go in and ask her directly.

I had no choice but to give up and leave for the time being.

Inside the clinic, Cui Yulu instructed Chen Yuan to prepare the medicine and bring it to Cui Yufang.

"Yulu, it was all because your aunt was jealous before, please don't mind. Could you please help us out for a while?"

Before Cui Yulu could speak, Guo Mudan couldn't stand it anymore.

"You're really shameless. Have you forgotten how you treated Yulu before? Yulu has already helped you get rid of Xing Dali, that's already good enough. Why do you still want to stay here?"

The yamen runners behind Guo Mudan swarmed around her, startling Cui Liushi into a cold sweat.

"I... I didn't mean that. I was blinded by evil spirits and couldn't tell right from wrong. I listened to the words of a villain, but I've been punished for it. My daughter is being bullied, my son is addicted to gambling, and my husband has died of anger. My life is so miserable. Please save Yufang. I can only beg you now."

"Listen to these words, it's really touching. If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now that you know how painful it is, you come back to beg for Yu Lu. Don't you remember how badly you hurt Yu Lu back then?"

Cui Yulu, who had been silent all along, just watched Guo Mudan speak up for her. Thinking back, she realized that her fate was actually quite good, at least much better than Cui Yufang's.

Although Han Yu'an is now going to marry the princess, they were truly in love back then, or perhaps they were.

Even now, she still can't figure out whether her feelings for Han Yu'an are love or gratitude towards her grandmother.

However, no matter how you compare them, she is much better off than Cui Yufang.
