Chapter 184 Shooting yourself in the foot
Yang Chenchuan knew that she was acting, but her tears were real. Thinking that she must be abusing herself again, his heart ached, his eyes dimmed, and he comforted her:
"What are you talking about? Isn't everything fine now? Stop crying. The elders are watching us. Why are you so rude? If you have any questions, just ask Second Aunt. She cares about you. But by the way, I remember Second Aunt always went to see Doctor Zhang for any illness. Second Aunt is kind and honest. I didn't expect that she was deceived by a half-baked doctor for so long. No wonder Second Aunt often has illnesses. It turns out that she was deceived by others. It's thanks to you that you learned the truth this time. Otherwise, Second Aunt would still think that the idiot was a miracle doctor."
As Yang Chenchuan spoke the second half of the sentence, he looked at the Second Madam with concern, as if seeking credit. That Doctor Zhang was bribed by the Second Madam, anyone with a discerning eye could tell.
But he didn't point it out. Even if he did, it would be useless because he had no evidence, right?
Instead, he pointed out in a roundabout way that Doctor Zhang was invited by the second wife.
First, it was pointed out that Doctor Zhang’s medical skills were not up to par and he had deceived the Second Wife for so many years. Not only could he not cure her illness, but he might have also planted the seeds of illness in her.
The Second Wife has not been able to get pregnant for many years. Perhaps it was Doctor Zhang's fault. The Second Wife heard the hidden meaning and her face turned dark on the spot.
Yang Chenchuan did not say that the Second Wife was wrong, but rather that she was the victim. Unfortunately, Doctor Zhang was considered the bad guy, and he could not stand this. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick: "You are talking nonsense. How good is my medical skills, Zhang Jing? How can you, an outsider, say it for sure? Go to the west of the city and ask the people if I, Zhang Jing, have ever cheated anyone. I have cured thousands of patients, if not tens of thousands. You..."
He couldn't say anything unpleasant, so he could only worry.
"What about me? Did I wrong you? In the hearts of the people, are you comparable to the highly respected Doctor Li? Are your medical skills as good as your uncle's? If you don't believe me, go out and ask. Doctors are like parents. I want to ask you, where is your heart? Dig it out and see if it is black? In fact, I don't blame you. Just admit your mistake to Second Aunt. Second Aunt has really trusted you all these years. You... hurt her heart!"
Lin Yuxi glanced at the second wife meaningfully. The person who was named stiffened his spine and clenched his fists tightly.
Doctor Zhang was also very angry. The breath was stuck at the top of his throat, unable to go up or down, and he almost fainted from anger.
"You, you are spitting blood..."
Before he could continue, Lin Yuxi interrupted him:
"No one is perfect, and I know that. That's why I said I don't blame you. You don't have to thank me. Really, although I, Lin Yuxi, have read few books, I am not an aggressive person. Don't worry."
Doctor Zhang really wanted to roll his eyes and faint. Every word Lin Yuxi said made sense. She also took the initiative to say that she didn't care about him, as if he was really a half-baked doctor. He had been in Mingde City for more than ten years. How could he tolerate her slandering him like this? He said angrily: "There is nothing wrong with my medical skills. It's the Second Madam who..."
Before he could finish his words, the Second Mistress interrupted him with tears in her eyes: "Yuxi, it is Second Aunt who has wronged you. Not only did I not know people well, I almost damaged your reputation. Can you forgive me for Second Aunt's concern for you?"
The second wife lowered her attitude and begged for Lin Yuxi's forgiveness, but avoided the question of Dr. Zhang's medical skills. Lin Yuxi lowered her head and rolled her eyes secretly, complaining in her heart: If I gave your daughter such a sinister medicine, and then said a few nice words and admitted my mistake afterwards, would you forgive me?
She's really a soft persimmon that you can squeeze whenever you want.
But she still had to put on a good attitude for the sake of appearance, and raised her tear-stained face and said, "Yuxi is a junior, how dare she blame the elders, Second Aunt, please stop talking, I know Second Aunt also cares about me."
She despised herself as she spoke, it was so fake, so fake that even she wanted to vomit.
The show was over. The master over there concluded by saying that Doctor Zhang had practiced medicine for many years without any mistakes. This time it was a misdiagnosis and no one's life was hurt. He also praised Doctor Li a few words, and then changed his attitude towards Jiang Le to be respectful.
When everyone thought that the matter was over, a man holding a sword came in with a little maid in his hand. He loosened his grip and threw her to the ground, saying coldly:
"I saw her eavesdropping outside the window, so I arrested her."
After saying that, he flew out without waiting for others to react.
"Eh? Isn't this Second Aunt's maid? Why do you have to lean on the window to listen when you can't just listen openly? Did you do something bad?"
Lin Yuxi said half-jokingly, with a hint of laughter in her tone.
Who knew that the maid was so frightened that she trembled and kept saying: "Please spare my life! No, it is not my fault. I was just following the orders of the Second Madam."
This girl's reaction is really... too unusual!
She couldn't help but glance at Yang Chenchuan, only to see that he was in high spirits, as if waiting for a good show. A smile appeared in Lin Yuxi's eyes.
It felt good to have someone planning for her.
She turned her gaze back to the maid and chuckled, "You are so rude, girl. I didn't ask you why you were eavesdropping outside the window, but you said that Second Aunt told you to do it. Second Aunt was sitting there, so she couldn't hear what everyone was saying? And she also asked a maid like you to pry open the window? I don't know who taught you that rule."
She covered her mouth lightly with an embroidered handkerchief, but the smile in her eyes was undisguised. Normally, the Second Wife always talked about rules, and now her maid had broken the rules and embarrassed her, but everyone saw it and no one could blame her.
That's right. The Second Wife was so angry and conflicted. She was such a fool. She didn't even bother hiding when eavesdropping. Instead, she couldn't control herself after hearing just a few words from Lin Yuxi and told everything about her master. She was so blind to find such a person to work for her.
The second wife felt sick to her stomach and angrily scolded Taoxiang who was almost lying on the ground: "You lowly maid, when did I tell you to go to the wall? Don't accuse me. I thought you were quite smart, so I asked you to serve me closely, but I didn't expect that your brain was filled with mud."
The Second Madam noticed something, her beautiful eyes were smiling when she looked at Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan, but when she looked at the Second Madam, her eyes immediately turned cold.
She is not stupid. Considering what happened before and after, she is afraid that today's incident was deliberately done by someone, who obviously wanted to embarrass Yuxi. If Yuxi was successfully framed, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Second Madam glanced at Chen Ying'er who was sitting next to the old lady, and a hint of anger flashed across her face. Her indifference did not mean that she was a fool. How could she not know what they were up to? How could such a woman enter Chuan'er's room? She was the first one to disapprove.
Wasn't it a plot to frame Yuxi? Then she would let her suffer the consequences. The Second Madam continued:
