Suddenly, Yi Shangyun seemed to realize something, thought to herself for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her lips.
Then, pretending to shake his head, he decisively withdrew his hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, you really are quite ill!"
As she opened her needle pouch, she said, "Luckily you came early, so it's not too serious yet. I just need to give you one acupuncture needle, and I guarantee you'll be cured immediately!"
Just as Yi Shangyun's fingers gently traced each needle in front of her, finally picking up the thickest silver needle and about to approach the one the man was pointing at, the man suddenly changed his expression.
He grabbed her wrist tightly and said, "Wait!"
Seeing this, Yi Shangyun felt a little pleased and continued to pretend to ask him, "What? Do you want to refuse treatment?"
"I..." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man was clearly in a difficult position and unable to defend himself.
The instant he let go, Yi Shangyun felt his distinctly strong pulse.
He became even more certain that his accusations were unfounded, and then said, "As a doctor, I feel it's necessary to remind you that refusing to seek medical help is not the mark of a good patient. Your illness can only be cured if treated as soon as possible; otherwise, if you continue to delay, you may end up impotent. Judging from your appearance, you must still be single, without a wife or children!"
Suddenly, several people in line pointed at the man and began whispering among themselves.
The man suddenly realized that he had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead, and had lost his dignity as a man.
Clearing his throat, he angrily retorted, "You haven't even taken my pulse yet, so how can you determine what illness I have? And you even dare to use such thick silver needles on me? Are you trying to rob me and kill me?"
“Not all illnesses can be diagnosed only through pulse diagnosis. Besides, how do you know I haven’t taken your pulse before? And you’re accusing me of murder for money?” Yi Shangyun met his gaze, showing no sign of backing down.
The man slammed his hand on the table in front of him and said righteously, "You vicious woman from out of town, carrying a child of unknown origin from some random man, are making money here at will. You're a complete quack!"
Hearing him resort to desperate measures and even slander his own child, Yi Shangyun could no longer hold back.
She then questioned him in a low voice, "So what if you're from out of town? What does my child have to do with you? What gives you the right to question his identity? Are you the one with ill intentions, or am I trying to murder you for money? Don't you have any idea?"
As she spoke, she carefully examined the man from head to toe.
Despite his seemingly well-dressed appearance, perhaps due to his hasty arrival and insufficient preparation, his pair of cheap boots with holes completely betrayed him.
Yi Shangyun said sternly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're penniless and have come here specifically to extort money. Now tell me, who sent you?"
In an instant, a crowd of onlookers gathered around.
The man glanced around, then suddenly stood up and pulled a sharp dagger from his person.
Immediately afterwards, he strode over and pulled Yi Shangyun up, quickly wrapping his arm around her neck and pressing the dagger in his other hand tightly against her abdomen.
He shouted loudly at the people around him.
"Get out of my way!"
"Get out of here, all of you."
"If you don't get out of here, I'll show you right now what it means to die with your unborn child!"
In this situation, Yi Shangyun was clearly unprepared and caught off guard, and couldn't help but feel tense.
"what you up to?"
"Put the knife down first!"
"I'll give you anything you want. Do you need money? I'll give you that, I'll give you everything."
"I only beg you, please don't hurt my child."
The man's face had already turned ferocious: "Shut up, it's too late for anything you say now. Grandpa has changed his mind, Grandpa doesn't want money anymore."
Yi Shangyun stared intently at the dagger in his hand and asked cautiously, "You don't want money? Then what do you want?"
The man continued to tentatively lead her towards the door while yelling at those blocking his way: "Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way."
For a moment, everyone present felt their hearts leap into their throats.
Finally, the man arrived at the door.
He whispered into one of Yi Shangyun's ears, "Since we're about to die, Grandpa will tell you what Grandpa wants today."
Just as Yi Shangyun was listening intently, the man suddenly and unexpectedly swung the dagger in his hand forcefully: "Grandpa wants you and your son dead, die!"
Yi Shangyun, who was about to give birth, was very clumsy with her big belly. She didn't have time to dodge and could only instinctively close her eyes tightly.
As the dagger was about to touch her abdomen, everyone around stared wide-eyed, and some of the more timid ones even covered their eyes.
Just at this critical moment, a loud "bang" was heard.
Then, when everyone opened their eyes again, they saw Yi Shangyun being held tightly in the arms of a man in a red robe.
Even Yi Shangyun himself hadn't expected this.
He was so startled that he looked at the face of the person who was hugging him around the waist and said, "Third Young Master? Didn't you leave? How could this be..."
Seeing this, everyone else present rushed over and pinned the man on the ground to the ground, punching and kicking him.
Normally, Young Master Yi would never dare to show himself, and could only watch Yi Shangyun's figure from afar.
Today, Tuoba Ze led his men on a long journey to herd horses, but unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened at the clinic.
If he were not there again, he really couldn't imagine what would happen.
At this moment, the man in the red robe was filled with lingering fear and heartache as he gazed into the eyes of the cloud-like figure on his robe.
"How could I possibly leave you alone in this barbaric land! I told you long ago that now that you've been returned, we're even."
"Is this the carefree, unrestrained, and spontaneous life you've been talking about?"
"All that you've done is worthless. You've sacrificed so much for them, yet someone still wants to kill you. Why won't you listen to me and come with me?"
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Yi Shangyun quickly pushed the man in red robes away and explained, "Third Young Master, the people here are simple and kind; they're all really good people. What happened today was just an accident."
The man in the red robe said nervously, "That's right, it was indeed just an accident, but if I hadn't arrived in time, this accident would have been enough to take your and your child's lives."
Yi Shangyun wanted to continue arguing with him: "I..."
Just then, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
At the same time, it seemed that some liquid was flowing out from her lower body.
Yi Shangyun suddenly realized that her situation was not good, and for a moment she did not dare to move.
He only murmured a series of intermittent sounds.
"Third Young Master..."
"I……"
"I think I'm about to give birth..."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Yi stood there dumbfounded.
"What?"
Is she about to give birth?
Is she about to give birth?
"Didn't they say she wouldn't give birth for about a month?"
"what to do?"
What should we do?
"I don't know how to deliver babies."
Seeing that Yi Sanshao, who had no experience with this, was already panicked, Yi Shangyun told him, "Take me back to my room first, and have someone quickly find a midwife."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Yi quickly stepped forward and scooped him up in his arms again, carrying him toward the bed inside the clinic while calling out urgently.
"The girl is about to give birth, why don't you hurry up and find a midwife?"
Instantly, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
"What did he say?"
Is she about to give birth?
"Who's about to give birth?"
"He seemed to be saying that the girl was about to give birth."
"Isn't the girl still a month away from giving birth?"
"It must have been so frightened by that beast that it went into premature labor."
"That bastard deserves to be cursed."
"Lock him up first."
"We'll deal with him slowly later."
"Midwife!"
"Go find Grandma quickly!"
"Her craftsmanship is the best on the grasslands."
"Nine out of ten babies delivered by her are boys."
"Let's go, let's go."
"Let's call it a day."
"Everyone, please disperse!"
"We'll settle the score with him later."
Time passed by, bit by bit.
From early morning until noon, and then into the afternoon.
Several maids hurried in and out, carrying hot water in turn.
Having heard the news, Tuoba Ze rushed back and was pacing anxiously with Yi Sanshao outside the clinic.
Whenever the two of them strolled together and met, they would give each other an extremely disdainful look, clearly not to be outdone.
They both snorted coldly at each other, then turned back and continued their actions.
Suddenly, Young Master Yi spoke first, his voice filled with anger.
"Once the baby is born, I will definitely take her away this time, no matter what. The winters here are too cold and too long, and the baby's body can't take it."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ze immediately objected, saying, "You dare!"
Young Master Yi decided to stand his ground this time and said with absolute certainty, "You see if I dare to do it?!"
"you……"
Just as Tuoba Ze was about to attack him, a guard suddenly approached him: "Your Highness!"
Tuoba Ze walked back again and went to the side with the guards.
The guard lowered his voice slightly and reported to her: "After interrogation, I have found out everything. The person who came to cause trouble at the clinic today was a local thug with a strange face whom Mingyitang found on the street. He was instigated to deliberately pick a fight with the young lady and cause trouble here. His purpose was to target the young lady's clinic and make it unable to continue operating."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ze's eyes blazed with fury: "The Famous Physicians' Hall? How dare they attack my men while I'm away! Cripple him, then dump him at the entrance of the Famous Physicians' Hall as a warning, teach them a lesson. If they dare to cause trouble here again, I won't hesitate to wipe out their entire stronghold."
"But……"
