Chapter 91: Xie Erye’s Poisonous Tongue (I)
After entering the lobby, Xie Yuduo didn't say anything, but glanced at everyone one by one.
When the gossips saw him, they immediately shut up, lowered their heads, and dared not say anything more, with embarrassed looks on their faces.
After he looked around, his gaze fell on Xu You for a moment before he walked inside.
The women who were originally sitting in the hall watching the excitement all stood up in a hurry and stepped back to make way. Mrs. Zhao even retreated behind the crowd in a hurry and asked others to cover their bodies.
Although everyone is more or less the elders of the second master of the Xie family, they are not real relatives after all.
More importantly, that huge amount of silver doesn’t matter based on seniority.
At this moment, Xie Yuduo was standing here, and no one dared to sit in front of him peacefully.
Except Chen Qi.
Not only did Chen Qi not step aside, but she turned around and went back to sit back in her chair.
However, she didn't cry at first, but when she saw Xie Yuduo, two lines of tears couldn't stop flowing.
Xie Yuduo walked in step by step, went straight to the side of Shen Qi's chair, lowered his head, and looked her up and down.
Chen Qi was so angry that her face turned red, there was sweat at the corners of her nose, and her face was covered with traces of tears.
Since they met and got married, Xie Yuduo had never seen her look so aggrieved and miserable.
He picked up the clean handkerchief from Chen Qi's hand and wiped the tears from her face bit by bit in front of everyone.
After wiping, the handkerchief was half wet.
Xie Yuduo held the wet handkerchief in his palm, pulled over a chair, and sat side by side with Shen Qi, with his arm naturally resting on the back of the chair where she was sitting.
He raised his eyes slightly and sneered.
"What kind of important matter is worthy of Second Madam's personal involvement? What do the maids in the house do for a living?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a maidservant who was a little older, tall, strong, and with a round face. At this time, she saw the situation clearly and without waiting for her master to say anything, she stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Zhao, and pressed her to the ground.
“Snap! Snap! Snap…”
He slapped Mrs. Zhao four or five times in a row.
"Who do you think you are, you thief? How dare you reach out and try to tug at our Second Grandmother? Open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is the home of our Second Master and Second Grandmother!"
Aunt Zhao was beaten by the maid and staggered, unable to get up for a long time.
"good!"
Xie Yuduo clapped his hands in approval.
"Go down and find the steward and tell him that the Second Master has given you half a year's salary."
The maid thanked him happily.
After he had rewarded the maid, he looked around at everyone.
"My wife kindly invited you to my home, and you bullied her until she cried. How can this be justified?"
No one dared to say a word. Some smart people who knew the situation had already moved towards the door little by little.
After a long time, an old lady with no tact finally came forward to help the crowd because she had some friendship with my grandmother.
"Erlang, we are all doing this for your and your wife's good. You haven't had any children yet, so you should see a doctor!"
As soon as someone speaks out, others will immediately follow suit.
"Yes, yes. If you are sick, you can get cured sooner if you see a doctor sooner."
"That's right, why are you hitting me when you're talking nicely..."
However, no one dared to mention Doctor Xu anymore.
Xie Yuduo's eyes were full of coldness, but there was a smile on his face.
"Oh, I'm so grateful for your concern."
He paused.
"I know my wife's health best. There's nothing wrong with her. But I'm afraid there might be something wrong with me. How about I trouble Doctor Xu to take my pulse?"
As he spoke, he pulled a tall table over with a rustling sound and extended a slender and powerful hand.
"Doctor Xu, please."
Xu You hesitated for a long time, but still walked over slowly, took the patient's pulse and felt it lightly.
A man in his prime has a strong pulse.
Doctor Xu lowered his head and replied.
"Second Master is in good health, there will be no problem."
He was about to pull his hand back, but Xie Yuduo grabbed his arm and slammed him down on the table.
Xie Yuduo's tone was neither hurried nor slow.
"What's the hurry? I read some medical books when I was young. Doctor, you don't look well. Why don't I take your pulse?"
Xu Yousheng was pressed on the table. His hand felt painful, but he didn't dare to struggle and just endured it.
Chen Qi raised her tearful eyes.
She knew that Xie Yuduo was proficient in the natural pharmacology of herbal medicines, but he could not take a pulse.
But Xu You, who was good at taking pulses, didn't dare to say a word.
"Your eyes are floating, your qi is weak and impetuous, and there's a glint of fawning in them. Your liver isn't dispersing properly, your gallbladder isn't flowing freely, and you're inherently lacking in liver and gallbladder qi. Your pulse is weak and floating, and your heart blood is insufficient. You must have done a lot of bad things. Your heart is rough and your qi is floating, and you're demented and forgetful. Are you used to being ungrateful and not learning your lesson? Doctor Xu, you're seriously ill!"
Doctor Xu's face turned red after being scolded, and he dared not say a word.
Xie Yuduo let go of his hand, poured himself a cup of tea, and washed his hands.
The water used to wash hands almost splashed on Xu You's face.
Xie Yuduo changed the subject.
"I heard that Doctor Xu is from Baihe Town?"
After hearing this, several women who stayed to watch the fun nodded and were eager to tell him directly that this young Doctor Xu was the man who had been engaged to his wife before.
Doctor Xu turned his head away, not looking at Mr. and Mrs. Shen and Xie who were sitting side by side, and whispered yes.
Chen Qi remained expressionless, but secretly couldn't help but pinching her fingers.
He, what would he think?
Xie Yuduo was still wiping his hands slowly and carefully.
"Oh? I'm sure Doctor Xu knows that my family runs a herbal medicine shop. A clinic can't do without medicine. I see you're quite ill yourself, so if you need anything, just let me know. After all, in our family, nothing else matters except my wife, who won't tolerate even the slightest injustice. For her sake, let alone a poor, seriously ill person like you, I'd give her face even to a dog from Baihe Town."
Xu You was scolded so much that he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't even raise his head.
At this point, all the women watching also understood what was going on, and some of them remembered the gossip that Second Aunt had used.
"Our second son dotes on his wife to no end! I'm not saying anything, but if his wife opens her mouth even slightly, he'll dig out his eyeballs and let her taste them. He's even worried she'll dislike the fishy smell."
This is probably true.
