"It's Aunt Zeng's son who has come. Aunt Zeng is no longer alive. Girl, you will be misunderstood if you do this. Stop it now!" Doctor Zhou kindly reminded.
However, Shen Ruoxi turned a deaf ear and continued to give acupuncture to Aunt Zeng.
When Aunt Zeng's son rushed in, he saw his mother lying on a haystack with a pale face and silver needles stuck all over her body.
"Mom! Doctor Zhou, what happened to my mom? And who is this girl?" the man asked anxiously.
"Daqiang, calm down. Your mother..." Doctor Zhou sighed and didn't have the heart to continue.
Zeng Daqiang shook his head in disbelief. "No, no, that's impossible. Mom was fine when she woke up this morning. How could something happen to her after coming to the clinic?"
He returned his gaze to Shen Ruoxi: "Who are you? I've never seen you before. Did you kill my mother?"
Shen Ruoxi only spared a glimpse of her peripheral vision and glanced at the man: "I'm saving her."
"Doctor Zhou, do you know her?" Zeng Daqiang looked at Doctor Zhou.
Doctor Zhou was at a loss for words: "This... Daqiang, listen to my explanation. Your mother is already terminally ill. Even if nothing is done, she won't live long. This girl is also well-intentioned..."
Zeng Daqiang was so angry that he laughed: "In other words, you didn't know this girl, but you asked her to treat my mother. Doctor Zhou, our whole family trusts you so much, how could you do such an irresponsible thing!"
Doctor Zhou actually felt regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and lent the girl the silver needle with a desperate attitude.
If the matter gets out of hand, his reputation will probably be ruined.
"Let my mother go, I won't let you touch her again!" Zeng Daqiang said as he rushed towards Shen Ruoxi.
But he was stopped by a pair of strong hands: "You are not allowed to go there."
Zeng Daqiang glared angrily at the person who stopped him, but was frightened by the powerful aura in the other person's deep eyes, and his words subconsciously stopped.
"You, who are you? That person is my mother, why are you stopping me?"
Pei Yaozhou didn't say anything else, but just kept blocking with his long arms. Zeng Daqiang tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't take another step towards Shen Ruoxi. Finally, he collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
"My poor mother was killed by two outsiders. I'm going to find General Luo and seek justice for my mother!"
The young soldier who followed felt a pang of anxiety.
This matter must not reach the ears of General Luo. On one side is the daughter that General Luo just recognized, and on the other side are the people who trust General Luo. If the matter gets out of hand, General Luo will be in a dilemma.
It’s all his fault. If he had stopped the princess at that time, this wouldn’t have happened!
The young soldier gritted his teeth and stepped forward to comfort Zeng Daqiang: "Brother, my young lady is not to blame for this. It was your mother who asked my young lady to give her acupuncture, and she also asked the people who were present at the time to bear witness, so she will not be held responsible."
He didn't even dare to call her Princess, for fear of being recognized and making things even more troublesome.
Zeng Daqiang wailed even louder: "I don't care. Since my mother lost her life in your hands, you must be held responsible!"
The little soldier also got angry: "You are being unreasonable!"
Zeng Daqiang shouted: "My mother is gone, and you still want me to be reasonable?!"
"My brother died on the battlefield, and I will join the army next month. My mother died, and my wife ran away. How will my children survive?" At the end, Zeng Daqiang broke down and burst into tears.
The young soldier wanted to say something else, but Doctor Zhou patted his shoulder and shook his head: "Let him vent."
In times of war and chaos, everyone has their own suffering. How can we expect everyone to be reasonable?
Shen Ruoxi also heard all of this, and although her expression remained unchanged, her heart was in turmoil.
"Why are you crying? I, your mother, am not dead yet..." A weak voice came from the haystack.
Everyone was shocked. Zeng Daqiang's crying stopped abruptly. He was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to his mother with joy.
This time, Pei Yaozhou did not stop him.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Aunt Zeng smiled weakly and touched her son's head: "Live well, and wait to see you become a man as upright as General Luo!"
"Mom, I will definitely work hard!" Zeng Daqiang wiped away his tears again.
"I said I was saving people, do you believe it now?" Shen Ruoxi raised her eyebrows.
Zeng Daqiang blushed instantly and was about to apologize when he heard Shen Ruoxi speak again.
"Auntie, your son just said that he has decided not to join the army."
"What?!" The old lady stood up suddenly.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Zeng Daqiang also jumped up and looked at Shen Ruoxi in disbelief.
"He also said that he didn't want his son anymore and left him to you to raise. He said that while he was still strong and healthy, he would escape from here and settle down in another city." Shen Ruoxi continued.
Aunt Zeng's face flushed with anger: "You, you, you little bastard, have you forgotten the oath you swore at your brother's grave? You said you would defend his country for him!"
Zeng Daqiang quickly explained: "Mom, I never said such a thing, she was the one who spread the rumor!"
"Girl, why are you spreading rumors about me? Is it just because I didn't trust you just now?" Zeng Daqiang waved his fist in anger.
Aunt Zeng immediately protected Shen Ruoxi behind her: "You dare to punch your mother's savior, what else can't you do? I'm really going to be mad at you, I, I..."
As she was speaking, Aunt Zeng's breathing suddenly became rapid, frightening everyone present.
"Who is this girl? Why is she so vengeful? She's going to piss off Aunt Zeng to death!" Doctor Zhou couldn't stand it anymore.
The young soldier also didn't understand at all. His princess had clearly rescued Aunt Zeng, so why did she spread rumors about Zeng Daqiang and make Aunt Zeng so angry?
Only Pei Yaozhou still looked at Shen Ruoxi calmly.
Suddenly, Aunt Zeng bent down and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing this, Shen Ruoxi finally had a smile on her face: “Just spit it out.”
Aunt Zeng's face gradually turned red. She touched her waist and knees and exclaimed in surprise: "Why don't I feel any pain?"
“You’ve been in pain for more than 30 years. How can you say it doesn’t hurt anymore?” Zeng Daqiang was also shocked, and even forgot about Shen Ruoxi’s slander against him just now.
"I just deliberately made your mother angry so that I could force out the blood clots in her body, so I said those words. I apologize to you for my rude words just now." Shen Ruoxi bowed to Zeng Daqiang.
"Then my mother...?" Zeng Daqiang still didn't react.
