Jiawang's mother hurriedly waved her hand to explain.
“The child is ignorant and we have already disciplined him. He will not call us that again.”
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right. Children don't know any better, so adults should guide them. They can eat whatever they want, but they can't just call their father whatever they want."
Although the Empress Dowager didn't particularly like Yue Xiaoyue, she would absolutely not allow her grandson to become someone else's stepfather.
Luo Tianhe sensed the disdain in her words and immediately snorted.
"This kind of thing will not happen again. However, the old lady is an experienced person. She should teach her grandson what he should and shouldn't do when she has time. Don't do shameful things in the street. Not only will you be ashamed, but others will also be embarrassed."
His words immediately darkened the Empress Dowager's face. However, having held a high position for many years, she had seen all kinds of people, so she naturally wouldn't show her dissatisfaction on her face.
She spoke slowly and calmly.
"You're quite old, so please watch your words and don't speak recklessly. I can hear the rumors circulating, but I absolutely do not believe my grandson would do such a thing. I also believe in Doctor Luo's character. As for you, you should be Doctor Luo's father. By questioning my grandson, you are questioning your own daughter. Do you think that's appropriate?"
“When did I question my daughter? I was admonishing your grandson to watch his words and actions.”
“My grandson’s words and actions were fine; you’re making a mountain out of a molehill…”
"I'm making a mountain out of a molehill? If he hadn't forcibly kissed my daughter in the street, why would she be being scolded?"
“How could my grandson forcefully kiss your daughter? He doesn’t even glance at women normally. It must be a misunderstanding. Besides, there have been constant rumors about Doctor Luo.”
"..."
The two were arguing fiercely, and Leng Chuchen tried several times to stop them, but to no avail.
Jiawang's mother also wanted to step forward and persuade Luo Tianhe to go back to the backyard, but he was determined to fight for his daughter's rights today.
Seeing that the enemy fire was about to start, Zhiruo hurriedly went to remind Zhiwan.
"Big sister, you should go and see, there's a commotion over there."
Zhiwan, who was carefully examining a patient and prescribing medicine, got up, stepped over the screen, and glanced outside.
Seeing Luo Tianhe's face turn pale and then red, and seeing Old Madam Chu clutching her chest, she rushed over impatiently.
"Father, Madam, what's going on? Why are they arguing?"
Luo Tianhe immediately pointed at the Empress Dowager.
“This old lady’s words are unpleasant to hear, Zhiwan, we cannot take on patients like this in the future.”
"father……"
Zhiwan quickly pushed him aside.
“Father, she is the same age as my grandmother, so why bother arguing with her?”
But she…
“Father, I’ve told you before, you don’t need to concern yourself with my affairs. Over the years, haven’t there been enough rumors about me on the streets? I’m used to it. Besides, she’s just Chuchen’s grandmother, and this has nothing to do with her. What’s the point of reasoning with her?”
After hearing Zhiwan's words, Luo Tianhe seemed to realize that if he wanted to avenge Zhiwan, he should go to Chuchen, not her grandmother.
However, he still argued illogically:
"It was her...it was her who taught Sun Wufang."
Zhiwan gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Father, I know you mean well. Once I cure her illness, they will leave Phoenix City, and then everything will be fine. Alright, now go and rest in the backyard for a while."
Luo Tianhe knew that he had indeed acted impulsively just now.
He simply waved his hand, turned around, and left.
After calming things down here, she went to Old Madam Chu.
"Madam, my father has a bit of a temper, but he's doing it for my own good. He didn't upset you, did he?"
The Empress Dowager sighed and shook her head.
"If it weren't for the fact that he's your father, I..."
She wanted to say that she would make sure he never saw the sun rise again, but being here, she couldn't say such a thing.
Zhiwan turned to Zhiruo and instructed:
"Bring me my pulse pillow, and tell the patient over there to wait for me."
Zhi Ruo turned and left, and only then did she sit down in front of Old Madam Chu.
"You look much better. I'll take your pulse in a bit and prescribe some medicine for you. Take it for a month and you should be almost fully recovered."
When her illness was mentioned, Grandma Luo took a deep breath and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Doctor Luo, I really didn't expect that you, a little girl, could cure my illness, which even the imperial physicians couldn't handle. I will definitely reward you handsomely later."
reward?
The fact that this word came from an old woman surprised Zhiwan.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Leng Chuchen quickly explained.
"My grandmother meant that she would definitely thank you properly later."
Luo Zhiwan didn't look up at him, only responding indifferently.
"Just pay the consultation and medication fees; no additional reward is needed."
After speaking, she took the pulse pillow that Zhi Ruo handed over, placed it on the table, and then gestured for Old Madam Chu to extend her hand.
Just as Madam Chu was about to reach out, she suddenly heard several barks of a dog. Startled, she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Just then, three or four dogs rushed in like madmen, heading straight for the Empress Dowager without saying a word.
This scene caught Li Ping and Hu Ke, who were guarding the door, completely off guard. Sensing that something was terribly wrong, Leng Chuchen immediately shouted,
"Someone come here..."
But it was too late. A dog had already jumped onto the Empress Dowager's lap, startling her so much that she cried out "Ah!" and fainted.
