Chapter 2420 Fighting (Reward for book friend "Hua" plus 2)
"She is a fifth-rank imperial physician after all, so it's only natural for her to be a little arrogant."
"Humph, he's just the imperial physician. Even Xiao Yuanzheng has to be respectful when he comes to our house. Isn't he older than her?"
Zhao Liu's wife, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but grumble under her breath because Zhao Liulang was close to Bai Shan and the others. "But he's still a fourth-rank editor. This is a noble job."
He muttered again: "Besides, our two families will still be relatives in the future."
The Crown Prince's wife: "What kind of relative is this?"
Zhao Liu's wife was timid and moved her mouth but didn't dare to speak.
Zhao Liulang rushed in angrily and asked, "A relative of Princess Mingda, a relative of the royal family, is that considered honorable?"
He had come to complain to his mother, but when he passed by the side room and heard these words, he couldn't help but rush in. He said angrily: "Sister-in-law, Zhou Man is Bai Shan's fiancée, and they will be married soon. Not counting her relationship as Bai Cheng's senior sister, even if Bai Shan and Bai Cheng are related, when the princess marries her, does she have to call her sister-in-law...ah, sister-in-law, doesn't she have to call her sister-in-law?"
"Is she a relative of the princess? Are our Zhao family relatives of the princess? When you look down on her, are you looking down on the princess or our family? How will these relatives interact in the future?"
The Crown Prince's wife was furious after being yelled at by Zhao Liulang in public. "Sixth Uncle, you didn't let her in just for a relationship that wasn't even established, did you? There are hundreds of smallpox patients in the place where she's staying. If she accidentally brought something in, have you forgotten the disaster at the end of the year before last?"
"What do you mean by confused? She's the imperial physician we begged the Empress to invite. She's the imperial physician, doesn't she know more than we do? Is this her first time out of the imperial estate? Last time she went to the Liu residence for a drink, and the time before that she was running around the capital and even went to the Imperial Examination Hall. Doesn't that mean anyone is avoiding her?"
The Crown Prince's wife was about to retort when the Third Lady beside her burst out laughing. She covered her lips and said, "Sixth Uncle is too impatient. Seeing his red face, if you didn't know better, you would think that our Sixth Brother's wife had been wronged."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent. Even the Crown Prince's wife turned her head to glare at the Third Madam, shouting unhappily, "Old Third Madam, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Liu's wife was also shocked. She turned to look at her husband and saw that he was so angry that he rolled his eyes and pointed at his third sister-in-law with shaking fingers, unable to speak. He had only one thought in his mind at this time: if this word got out, he really would not have the courage to see Bai Shan again.
Seeing that he was so angry that his face turned pale, the Crown Prince's wife was afraid that he would do something bad, so she immediately said to Zhao Liu's wife, "Why are you still standing there? If I were you, I would tear her apart directly."
As soon as the Crown Prince's wife finished speaking, Zhao Liu's wife rushed forward like a mink, grabbed the Third Madam and started beating her, stammering out of breath, "I, I told you to stop talking nonsense..."
The Crown Prince’s Wife: …That’s just what she said.
Zhao Liulang: ...
He endured it for a while, and simply stood aside with his hands folded, shouting: "My wife, please stop hitting me..."
The Third Lady was no match for the Sixth Lady Zhao. She had a bunch of her hair pulled out by the other party. It wasn't until Lady Zhao, holding Nanny Zhao's hand, came over and saw her daughters-in-law in a mess, with her son standing beside them with his hands folded, that she angrily knocked on the door, "Evil creatures, evil creatures, what are you doing? Why are you still standing there? Go and separate them!"
The stunned maids rushed over and separated the two.
Zhao Liu's wife has always been not good at speaking, otherwise she would not have been so dominated by Zhao Liulang that she even used up most of her dowry.
As soon as she saw her mother-in-law appear, the third wife immediately stepped forward and complained eloquently, and she turned pale and covered her face with her hands and started crying.
The Duke's wife was so angry that her face turned pale, and she felt that today's treatment had been in vain.
Zhao Liulang couldn't bear to see his wife being wronged, so he stepped forward to support the old lady and help her calm down while calmly complaining, "Mother, this is all my fault. Because of the incident today in the mansion that embarrassed Mr. Zhou, I got angry, and my third sister-in-law said a few unpleasant words. You know your sixth daughter-in-law is not good at speaking, and she couldn't bear to see me being wronged, so she hit me."
Then he turned to the Third Madam and said, "Third sister-in-law, this is all my fault. I apologize to you. I hope you will not bear grudge against me."
When it comes to son and daughter-in-law, the Duke's wife naturally favors her son. Furthermore, the Third Lady is a concubine's daughter-in-law, so she asked, "What did the Third Lady's wife say about you? Is it worth it for you and your wife to fight with your sister-in-law?"
Zhao Liulang said with shame on his face, "Mom, please don't ask me anymore. I can't say this. If it gets out, I won't be able to face my classmates and friends in the future."
The maidservant serving Zhao Liu's wife immediately stepped forward, knelt down, and repeated the Third Madam's words word for word.
The Duke's wife was so angry that her face turned blue. She directly ordered: "The Third Madam is possessed by a demon. Someone, send the Third Madam to the ancestral hall to wake up."
Immediately, a maid came forward and helped the third lady down.
The third lady was helped away with a pale face. The Duke's wife then looked at her other daughters-in-law. The Crown Prince's wife and others stood with their heads bowed. Regardless of what happened, they started by admitting their mistakes.
The Duke's wife, however, refused to listen. She looked at them gravely and said, "You're hoping for my early death, so go ahead and do whatever you want. If you offend the imperial physician, you'll feel better, right?"
The ladies' faces changed and they all knelt down to admit their mistakes. The Crown Prince's wife was about to become a grandmother. After kneeling down, her face turned red and her whole body was shaking.
"I'm not dead yet, so there's no need for you to kneel down. Just remember, Zhou Man is more than just an imperial physician. Use your brain before you act. She's the only female imperial physician in the capital, a doctor so many people want but can't get. Yet, you're just pushing her away, thinking that because you have connections in the palace, you can always hire her."
The Duke's wife said, "You think too highly of yourselves and too lowly of the Imperial Hospital."
In the entire Duke's Mansion, how many people are worthy of being seen by the palace's designated imperial physician?
It's just her and the Duke. For others, if they want to hire an imperial physician, it's basically assigned by the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Given Zhou Man's connections in the Imperial Medical Bureau, if he offended her, he would be lucky to be able to hire a good imperial physician, let alone her.
Not to mention that she is a fourth-rank editor in the Chongwenguan. Half of the medical books currently used by the Imperial Medical Bureau were compiled with her participation. When those medical books are circulated in the future, I am afraid that all doctors in the world will call her "Half-Master".
Even the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have to treat him with courtesy, but he is humiliated in the Duke's Mansion. Does he really think his head is too long and want to cut it off?
The Duke's wife was so angry that she took Zhao Liulang's hand and left.
After the old lady disappeared, the Crown Prince's wife stood up from the ground with the help of the maid, her face looking extremely ugly.
I have really lost face today.
The fourth day of the daily 10,000, woo woo woo, it’s too difficult, I’ll stop here for today, good night
