Chapter 666: Feeling Like Slapping Himself Twice

Chapter 666: Feeling Like Slapping Himself Twice

"..."

The Shen family went silent again.

They all turned their eyes in unison to Madam Shi, whom they had previously looked down upon.

Madam Shi rushed over, studying Lu Xixue carefully, confirming that she had indeed not mistaken her identity, and exclaimed excitedly, "Divine Physician Ji, why are you here? I never imagined I would have the honor of standing before you and seeing you in person!"

In the past, Madam Shi had tried repeatedly to seek medical help from Divine Physician Ji for her husband and son, but wherever Divine Physician Ji appeared, the crowds seeking her treatment were always massive. She had only managed to catch a distant glimpse of her, but because she cared so deeply, the memory was particularly vivid. Now, she recognized her at a glance.

Although Lu Xixue did not know Madam Shi, seeing her excited demeanor reminded her of the countless patients she had encountered before, feeling familiar and warm. She nodded and said, "I'm here to find my daughter."

As she spoke, she looked towards Su Youyue.

Madam Shi glanced left and right, confirming that the daughter she referred to was indeed Su Youyue, and was completely stunned.

So, all these days, it wasn't Divine Physician Ji who had been treating her husband and son, but Divine Physician Ji's own daughter!

Heavens... what incredible luck the Bai family had stumbled upon!

Unlike Madam Shi's excitement and joy, the Shen family's hearts dropped completely upon hearing Lu Xixue admit that she was Divine Physician Ji.

The name "Divine Physician Ji" signified that she could move freely throughout Dongrong, revered by thousands, that even the imperial palace was a place she could enter and exit at will, that even the Emperor treated her with respect and courtesy, and that offending her was equivalent to offending all the Dongrong People!

While other Dongrong People were overjoyed to see Divine Physician Ji for the first time, the Shen family felt as if they had just lost a loved one.

Especially Master Shen, whose breathing suddenly became labored and strained: "Divine Physician Ji?"

So, the person he had wanted to curse earlier was the Divine Physician Ji?

His knees suddenly buckled, and he felt like kneeling.

The birth mother of this fake daughter of his was actually Divine Physician Ji?

And the Shen family had been targeting Divine Physician Ji's own daughter all along?

Master Shen's mind kept echoing the name "Divine Physician Ji" over and over, and his vision suddenly darkened. A wave of despair and regret overwhelmed him, and he wanted to slap himself twice.

No one had told him that Divine Physician Ji had such a temper!

After the initial shock, Shen Yuanfeng, sitting in his wheelchair, held his head in his hands.

Madam Fang remained silent, while Shen Zhuyu's expression darkened.

Who could have imagined that simply calling a wild girl to take her place in marriage could lead to such a massive disaster.

If only she had known...

But there was no "if only." Shen Zhuyu couldn't utter a single word now, knowing she had been completely defeated by this fake Shen Nan.

She had initially thought the people from the Ding'an Marquisate could be of some use, but they proved to be completely useless. After entering the palace, they shut the gates of the Marquisate tightly and didn't even step out. To this day, she still didn't know what had happened.

Thinking of the words she had thrown at the other party earlier about who would win or lose, she felt completely humiliated.

She must be laughing at her now, right?

"Divine Physician Ji..." Shen Yuanfeng finally spoke after a long silence, "It was indeed our Shen family who wronged your daughter before. Today, we have truly inconvenienced you, and we apologize. Our Shen family has no other intentions now, only hoping that the young lady would show mercy and spare my reckless brother's life."

Lu Xixue snorted coldly, "If saying sorry fixed everything, why would we need the law? I don’t know what’s going on with your so-called brother. All I know is that my daughter is the most important. I’ve finally found her, and now I just want to reunite with her properly. You all are such a buzzkill. Go stew in your own filth at home!"

Shen Zhuyu frowned.

Su Youyue looked at her and finally spoke leisurely, "I recall someone spreading lies about me to the Ding'an Marquisate, claiming I was the one who harmed Meng Ziyu? I haven’t had the chance to pursue this matter yet. Should we settle this now?"

Hearing this, the Shen family’s faces twisted in anger. This time, they finally stopped wasting words and turned to leave.

But they also knew their family was done for.

Qingluo, seeing they hadn’t gone far, deliberately cursed behind them, "Pah! You told our lady not to come back to the Shen family, and now you’re begging at our door! You think the Shen family’s door is made of gold or something?"

The Shen family’s footsteps paused, but they didn’t look back. After all, turning around now would only bring them further humiliation.

"Huff… Letting them go is too good for them. I haven’t scolded them enough yet. Also, I need to go see the Emperor and have him deal with their family properly!"

"The Emperor of Dongrong owes me one!"

Su Youyue shook her head, "No need, Mother. Actually, I wasn’t mistreated in the Shen family. Jin’er didn’t explain it clearly to you… I was the one who went. If it had been the real Miss Shen, they would’ve eaten her alive, bones and all."

Sometimes, when she thought about it, she really didn’t know whether Miss Shen was lucky or unlucky.

Because if she had truly gone to the Shen family back then, she might have been driven to death by these Shen family members too.

Lu Xixue knew that the real Miss Shen was her daughter’s savior and felt heartbroken for her plight. "That family is the worst!"

By now, Bai Rui and Bai Ming'an had also arrived. Upon learning that Divine Physician Ji was actually Su Youyue’s birth mother, they were equally excited.

Lu Xixue took their pulses one by one and then nodded to Su Youyue, "Nuan Nuan, your diagnosis was correct. They’re about sixty to seventy percent recovered now. With proper care, they will fully recover in time."

Hearing Divine Physician Ji’s personal confirmation, the Bai family was over the moon. They wanted to quickly entertain their guests, but Lu Xixue had something to discuss in private, so she dragged Su Youyue back to her room first.

"Nuan Nuan, you haven’t answered me yet. Where is that Xie Yuan? How could he ditch you again?"

Su Youyue quickly explained the whole situation regarding Xie Yuan. It was clear that her mother was very dissatisfied with him this time. How could she not speak up for her man?

Upon learning that Xie Yuan had left for the safety of all Dongrong, Lu Xixue was shocked and cursed, "Those Holy Church folks were nuts to begin with, and now they’re even crazier. If they really gain control of the military, Dongrong would indeed be finished, and it wouldn’t be good for Dasheng either. You don’t know, but in the past, the Pope kept urging the Emperor to completely conquer the other two countries. Now that Dasheng has cannons, they’ve probably been restless for a long time. Of course, they want those weapons for themselves."

Although Dasheng now possesses divine weapons, the new Emperor has not been on the throne for long. There are still countless internal issues within the territory, and with the remnants of the Rong King’s rebellion not yet fully cleaned up, this is definitely not a good time for Dasheng to go to war.

After thinking it through, the resentment in Lu Xixue’s eyes lessened, but she still snorted, "Fine, it’s not like I hauled that antidote here for nothing."
