Would Huang Haichuan be willing to forgo taking money from the public funds? No, he wouldn't. Bai Nuo's words not only meant for him to stop taking money from the public funds, but also implied that he should move out and no longer be a member of the Hu family. Although they all knew perfectly well that they were no longer surnamed Hu, Hu Mingmei had never announced this matter publicly, so outsiders didn't know what was really going on with the Hu family. Although they no longer held real power at home, outside, whether it was high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they would still give this "Master Hu" some respect. If they went outside, they wouldn't be able to live such a comfortable life anymore.
"I am Hu Mingmei's second uncle. Why shouldn't Hu Mingmei support me?" Huang Haichuan glared angrily at Bai Nuo. "If you don't want to support me, fine. Just have Hu Mingmei give me a few good shops, and I'll immediately support myself. I absolutely won't rely on you!"
Bai Nuo sneered, inwardly despising Huang Haichuan to the extreme. This man was truly shameless. "It's not that you can't get the money, just be obedient. If you still insist on doing things your own way, try and see if I give it to you or not?" At most, she would just be labeled as unfilial. She and Hu Mingmei were not people who cared about their reputation. Whether it was good or bad, it made no difference.
Bai Nuo and Huang Haichuan were locked in a stalemate. Seeing that the stalemate was likely to continue and that Bai Nuo might actually do something to Huang Haichuan, Mingyue quickly straightened her clothes and said with a smile, "Oh dear, look at what you two are saying. We're all family, why are you arguing? Stop arguing, harmony brings wealth. And you, sir, why are you so hot-tempered?"
"Who's family with you?" Bai Nuo was unusually angry today. "This place is either Master Ye or Madam Ye. Who do you think you are? How dare you, a mere servant, interrupt when the master is speaking?"
"Young Madam..." Bai Nuo's reaction was also unexpected by Ming Yue. Bai Nuo's words clearly blocked all avenues for reconciliation. "How could you say that to me? I was doing it for everyone's good!"
"Do we need you to be so kind to us?" Bai Nuo looked at her coldly. "Second Uncle, could you please keep an eye on the people in your room? With so many people here, is it appropriate for them to be naked?"
Completely naked!
Completely naked!
Bai Nuo ripped off Mingyue's last shred of modesty. Mingyue hadn't put on her outer garment since Madam Zheng entered, and even after the fight with Madam Zheng, she still hadn't put it on. Because Huang Haichuan was there, and because she had many bruises on her body, she wanted Huang Haichuan to see how Madam Zheng had beaten her and how she had been beaten like this, so she had been wearing only a bellyband.
But to my surprise, Bai Nuo described her as a shameless and inconsiderate servant.
No one had ever spoken to her like that before, and Mingyue was furious with Bai Nuo. But then she thought that Huang Haichuan probably couldn't help her either, so she apologized, "It was my fault, I overstepped my bounds."
Bai Nuo didn't take Mingyue seriously, which meant he didn't take him seriously either. Seeing Mingyue so aggrieved, Huang Haichuan instinctively wanted to retort and tell Bai Nuo to show some respect. However, Bai Nuo spoke quickly, "Second Uncle, it's not that I, as a junior, am criticizing you, but our family is a respectable one. We must be careful in our words and actions. Losing face is one thing, but if we lose face for the Princess and prevent her from sleeping peacefully, how can you live with that?"
What's there to feel guilty about? Huang Haichuan would love to ruin Princess Yuru's reputation so that fewer people would think of her.
However, Bai Nuo didn't want to listen to what Huang Haichuan wanted to say. She helped Madam Zheng up and walked towards the outside of the house. "Let's go back and see the doctor. As for the Fourth Young Master's medicine, you can just go to the pharmacy and get it. Just make up for whatever he's missing from his account!"
It wasn't until they reached the courtyard that Madam Zheng finally broke free from Bai Nuo's grasp. "Thank you!" she said. Without waiting for Bai Nuo to reply, Madam Zheng walked straight toward the door, her back ramrod straight, which moved Bai Nuo deeply.
"Second Madam, she..." Granny Wang came up, looking at Madam Zheng's back, not understanding what Madam Zheng wanted to do.
It's not like she's the young mistress, so why give her the cold shoulder?
"Let her be!" Bai Nuo watched Madam Zheng's retreating figure and slowly walked forward as well. She placed one hand on Wang Mama's arm and whispered, "Find a doctor to take a look at her. The public funds will cover the expenses!"
"Oh!" Granny Wang nodded. Although Madam Zheng could be quite annoying at times, at this moment, they all felt sorry for her.
Her husband has been having affairs with other women for years, her son is dying, and now her husband beat her in front of another woman.
No matter how you look at it, it seems so pitiful.
However, while Bai Nuo felt sorry for Madam Zheng, all she could do was hire a doctor for her; she couldn't do anything else.
As soon as Madam Zheng came out, tears streamed down her face. She had just reached the middle of the courtyard when she saw Granny Liu approaching, so she quickly wiped away her tears and, with a face that looked terrible, tried her best to appear expressionless.
Granny Liu came over, and only when she got closer did she see Madam Zheng's face. She was surprised, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She just said with concern, "Madam, I'll go and fetch a doctor for you!"
Madam Zheng almost lost her composure and stumbled. Granny Liu quickly caught her hand, but Madam Zheng's fingernails dug directly into Granny Liu's flesh, causing Granny Liu pain. However, seeing that Madam Zheng was still in a bad mood, Granny Liu endured it.
