Just as the two were talking passionately, He Jiuniang finally finished her work. She asked the young medicine boy to help her pack up her things, and then leisurely walked over to the Pan brothers.
Before they could even speak, he removed the silver needles for them, which surprised everyone, and then another round of pig-like squeals rang out.
The young apprentice packed up his things and thoughtfully brought her a stool to sit on, making her leisurely demeanor even more irritating.
"He, do you know what crime it is to lay a hand on a court official? You've humiliated me today, and I won't let you get away with this!"
Pan Can glared at He Jiuniang, thinking that he should put into practice what Pan Yi had just told him, so that this woman would regret it and beg him to let her go.
He had a beautiful dream, but it was ruthlessly shattered by He Jiu Niang.
Instead of answering, He Jiuniang asked, "Do you know what crime it is to abuse your power and bully the common people? Do you think you can escape today? If your superior knew how humiliated you were today, would he still tolerate you working in his presence?"
She bombarded Pan Can with a series of questions, leaving him completely bewildered and unsure which question to consider first.
Seeing his silly appearance, He Jiuniang sighed with regret, really not knowing how such a simpleton could become an official.
She continued, "I don't know if your cousin has told you that not only do you hold an official position, but someone in my family is also an official, and unfortunately, his official rank is much higher than yours."
As she spoke, she sighed regretfully, then seemingly casually pulled a token from her bosom and waved it in front of him so that he could clearly see the contents of the token.
Fire Cloud Division!
Upon seeing these three large characters, Pan Can's expression instantly froze on his face.
What kind of place is the Fire Cloud Division? It's an office that Prince Chen personally trained, and none of the people there are good people!
Any one of them, if you pick them out, would have a higher official rank than him!
More importantly, this token is not from an ordinary person; it is clearly the leader's, because it is golden and made of pure gold!
What is this woman's relationship with the leader of the Fire Cloud Division?
She said she was a relative, but what exactly is the relationship? Is she a distant relative or a close relative?
However, Pan Can's thinking was probably unnecessary. Could the person who would let her hold the token be a distant relative?
"You...you...what is your relationship with the officials of the Fire Cloud Division?"
Pan Can's heart sank, but he still forced himself to ask the question bravely, so that he could at least die knowing the truth.
"It's a little embarrassing to say, but he is my husband."
He Jiuniang's answer seemed calm, but the smile on her face was a blatant mockery of the two of them.
He, a mere seventh-rank official, dared to offend the wife of the leader of the Fire Cloud Division. He's courting death!
Pan Can's mind went blank for a few seconds. After he came to his senses, he grabbed Pan Yi and started beating him.
"You heartless bastard! I've always treated you pretty well, and this is how you betrayed me! You said you were just an ordinary female doctor? What happened?"
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless idiot! All you ever do is cause me trouble, and now you're going to kill me!"
"That's the Fire Cloud Division! Even my uncle is terrified when he comes here! How did you end up in this mess!"
"It's all over, it's all over, my life is over..."
He beat Pan Yi up, then collapsed to the ground and kept talking.
He didn't even dare to speak to He Jiuniang again, feeling that he was doomed to die today.
Pan Yi cried and shouted for a while, never expecting that he would offend such a powerful person.
He had previously heard that the female doctor at Yuyuantang was a widow whose entire family had fled from the south and had no roots here, only making a living by doing small business. How did she become the wife of the leader of Huoyun Division?
He really didn't want to believe it, but the gleaming golden token ruthlessly shattered his absurd idea.
After regaining his senses, he didn't hesitate to crawl over from the ground and frantically kowtow at He Jiuniang's feet.
"Madam, it's my fault. I was blind to your greatness and offended you. Please be lenient and don't hold it against us. I have money and I'm willing to compensate you. I'll pay whatever it takes, as long as you open the door! I just beg you to spare our lives."
Pan Yi was much smarter than Pan Can, and he even knew how to spend money to avoid trouble.
If He Jiuniang hadn't used Lu Baichuan as a shield, she could have easily extorted money. But since she brought up Lu Baichuan, she absolutely couldn't accept the money.
In officialdom, once someone is criticized or gossiped about, the consequences can be dire.
Besides, she has several large boxes of gold and jewelry in her space, so she doesn't care about the Pan family's small amount of money.
"Oh, you mean you have money and I don't? Do you think I care about your little bit of money?"
She gave Pan Yi a cheeky look and looked at him with a mocking expression.
The young apprentice watched from the side, filled with boundless admiration. Doctor He's smile was so smug, but he liked it so much!
Pan Yi shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Madam certainly doesn't lack money. I misspoke. Please forgive me, Madam. I kowtow to you!"
As he spoke, he banged his head several more times.
Pan Can finally came to his senses and kowtowed as well, not asking that today's events could be ignored, but only that He Jiuniang would spare their lives.
A higher rank can have a crushing effect, especially since Lu Baichuan is more than just one rank higher than him.
This is an absolute one-on-one crushing defeat.
After this whole commotion, He Jiuniang felt a surge of satisfaction and asked Pan Yi, "Didn't I tell you before that there are officials in my family? Why didn't you believe me?"
"I believe you, I believe you! It was my fault for being ignorant and having a bad mouth. I deserve a beating! Yes, I deserve a beating!"
As he spoke, he began slapping himself repeatedly, using great force and making a loud noise.
When Pan Yi brought Pan Can here, he already had a pig's head face. Now he's slapping himself in the face, and the word "miserable" doesn't even begin to describe his face.
But He Jiuniang would never sympathize with such a person.
If it were anyone else today, they would definitely be bullied by these two brothers. Moreover, Pan Yi is so arrogant, and he was able to bring Pan Can here so quickly. It is obvious that he is very skilled at this. He has harmed countless people before. Today, He Jiuniang was showing mercy.
Fortunately, He Jiuniang didn't really intend to do anything to them. She was now using Lu Baichuan's token to bully others. Although she could handle things even without the token, having the token made things much easier.
Having used this token, she had a responsibility to protect it, at least to prevent Lu Baichuan from giving anyone something to say or use against him.
So she asked, "Will you continue to bully others like this in the future?"
