Su Ruojin quietly walked out of the room and closed the door, just in time to see Feng Ying walking quickly over.
She frowned slightly: "Fengying, what's going on outside?"
Fengying hurriedly said, "Miss, a lady has come to our door, saying that you injured her son."
Su Ruojin immediately understood; it was Madam Zhao who had come to their door.
Relying on their marriage ties with Prefect Lin, the Zhao family has been running rampant and domineering in Yanyang City.
Even though it was their own son who bullied Yuan Hong and Xiao Bao, they still dared to come to their door demanding an explanation.
Thinking back to how Xiao Bao's face had turned blue, his whole body was trembling, and he had even been so frightened that he had dry heaved, Su Ruojin felt a pang of heartache.
Since that's the case, then the Zhao family should get out of Yanyang City.
"Fengying, have the Dark Alliance's people in Yanyang investigate everything about the Zhao family as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Miss." Fengying turned and went out.
Su Ruojin walked out of the clinic and looked at Madam Zhao, coldly asking, "I heard you were looking for me?"
There were three steps leading to the clinic. Madam Zhao stood at the bottom of the steps, while Su Ruojin stood at the top. She glanced at Su Ruojin with a dismissive air.
Madam Zhao felt her momentum was suppressed, and her anger flared up: "Su Ruojin, you allowed your brother to push my son into the river. He still has a high fever. If you don't give an explanation for this, our Zhao family will not let you off the hook."
"Madam Zhao, why don't you ask why your son was pushed into the water by my brother? If he hadn't broken my brother's lantern first, tried to steal their bamboo dragonfly, and even tried to push a five-year-old child into the river, why would my brother have intervened? What, is it that only your Zhao family is allowed to bully others, but others are not allowed to fight back and protect themselves?" Su Ruojin's voice was icy.
Others might not know, but Zhihua and Yanluo, who were standing to the side, were very clear that their young lady was angry.
The two looked at Madam Zhao with some sympathy; it was a terrible thing for the young lady to be angry.
When the young lady was traveling, she was harassed by the son of a wealthy merchant, who even ordered the family guards to try to forcibly take her back.
As a result, that young master is still lying in bed and will never get up again.
Madam Zhao scoffed, "How much is a broken lantern worth? Don't you know how many people in Yanyang City are begging to send gifts to my house? Who would want your tattered lantern? Even if my son really takes a liking to it, that's your good fortune."
"Now you take those two little brats to our Zhao family's house, kowtow to my son and apologize! Then let them jump into the river and soak there until my son agrees to let them out."
“Miss Su, if you know what’s good for you, you should obediently come with our madam. Otherwise, making a scene will not do you any good. If your clinic can’t stay open, don’t blame the madam for not showing mercy. The madam is giving you a chance out of kindness right now.” The nanny standing next to Madam Zhao also chimed in.
Su Ruojin raised the corners of her lips slightly, as if revealing a smile, and slowly walked down the steps toward Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao thought Su Ruojin was going to apologize to her, so she raised her head slightly, waiting for Su Ruojin to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
The next second.
Snap!
A slap landed hard on Madam Zhao's face, and half of her face swelled up instantly.
Everyone present was stunned, not expecting Su Ruojin to make a move.
Madam Zhao was stunned by the blow and didn't react for a moment until the burning pain on her face made her realize that she had been hit.
Then came screams: "Su Ruojin, how dare you hit me!"
“Speaking of you as a little brat, Madam Zhao, is this the family tradition of your Zhao family? Since no one in the Zhao family has taught you what manners are, then I don’t mind taking the liberty of teaching you.” Su Ruojin clapped her hands.
"All of you, get her! Smash her clinic! Beat anyone who tries to stop you!" Madam Zhao said through gritted teeth, her eyes red and her face covered.
Sun Liniang has never lost face like this in Yanyang City. If she doesn't smash up Ren'ai Hall today, she's not Sun Liniang!
