Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 122: Chapter 123 Chu Yu to Be Betrothed

Xu Han knew these truths as well as anyone, but she felt that Brother Huaian wouldn’t mind this matter, although she didn’t voice this thought.

Princess Huimin looked at her daughter in the bronze mirror, deep in thought, and asked again, “How is Pei Chengye?”

Now that her daughter had reached the age of marriage, and since the mole on her face had previously been an obstacle, they hadn’t addressed the matter. But with her face nearly healed, it was natural to start worrying about arranging her marriage.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Han said, “If your daughter were to marry over there, I’m afraid she’d only be a concubine at best. The Empress would surely not allow your daughter to become the principal wife.”

To put it nicely, a concubine is just a step below the principal wife; to put it plainly, she’s nothing more than a mistress.

How could Princess Huimin let her own daughter marry into the family as a mistress? She dismissed this thought at once.

Meanwhile, Pei Huaian and Shao He had just returned to their courtyard when Ah Mo hurriedly walked in.

He hesitated, glancing at Shao He, then started to say, but stopped, “Master, something has happened at the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.”

“What happened?” Shao He asked, jumping in before anyone else.

She originally thought it was something to do with Luo Jiner and her fellow consorts, but instead, Ah Mo said, “It’s that Marquis Chu is set to have a betrothal with Liang Weishuang.”

“They’re arranging a betrothal?” Shao He showed a look of surprise upon hearing that Chu Yu was to be betrothed.

This, in turn, made Pei Huaian next to her misunderstand that she still harbored feelings for Chu Yu, and that hearing of his betrothal was the cause of her shock. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of displeasure.

Pei Huaian asked with feigned calmness, “The lady of the marquis mansion passed away over a hundred days ago, so arranging a betrothal now is somewhat justifiable.”

Ah Mo replied softly, “I heard that the elders of the Liang Family wish to establish a marriage alliance with the Chu Family, and Old Madam Chu is especially eager to set the wedding date as soon as possible.”

“Didn’t Luo Jiner make a fuss?”

Upon hearing this, Ah Mo immediately looked up to see his master with a dark expression and hurriedly replied, “This marriage was actually facilitated by Luo Jiner herself.”

“How could this be?” Shao He stroked her chin, deep in thought, completely oblivious to the chilling aura emanating from the person next to her.

Ah Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at his silent master, and continued, “I don’t know the details of the rest.”

“Maybe it’s because the two concubines were drugged, and Luo Jiner found it hard to navigate within the mansion. She probably wanted to use this situation to secure her own position. Liang Weishuang has a violent temper but is easily deceived, which is why Luo Jiner picked her as a target!” Shao He analyzed the situation clearly.

From their interactions during that period, he had found Liang Weishuang to be quite decent; it was definitely a shame that she had been duped by Luo Jiner into stepping into that pit of fire at Marquis Pingnan’s.

“Ah, what a pity for Miss Liang.”

“So your surprise just now wasn’t because Marquis of Pingnan was to be betrothed, but because it’s Liang Weishuang?” Pei Huaian asked in a hushed tone.

Ah Mo took a step back, the hostile aura of his master was too overwhelming, making him fear being inadvertently harmed.

“Yes, aside from her volatile temper, Miss Liang is a decent person,” Shao He said with a helpless shake of her head.

Finally, Pei Huaian’s demeanor softened, and he said, “I, on the other hand, don’t believe this matter is beyond hope.”

He knew Shao He was a woman who was tough-mouthed but soft-hearted, and he could hear the pity in her words, but many things just didn’t have the space for a turnaround.

Because of Princess Huimin’s arrival, Shao He’s leave was cut short, and after resting at home for one day, she went to Anji Hall early the next morning to see patients.

When Shao He arrived at Anji Hall, she immediately recognized the figure seated in the chair as Chu Yu.

Chu Yu felt the blazing gaze from behind him and turned around to see who had arrived. He immediately got up and walked over to her.

“Move aside,” Shao He said, seeing the person blocking her way, feeling very irritated inside.

Chu Yu asked with a cold tone, “Where have you been these past few days? Were you with that Young Master Pei again?”

“Who I’m with and where I go is none of your business. Could it be that the Marquis has too much free time on his hands?” Shao He retorted, leaving him speechless.

Shao He had intended to bypass him to go to the back hall when Chu Yu once again caught up and blocked the doorway, asking, “It seems I’ve guessed correctly, is it really true that you and that Young Master Pei are together? You really are shameless, frolicking with other men while carrying my child.”

“Why does the Marquis care so much? Do you fancy me, or do you see me as your possession? Or has the Marquis forgotten that we have no relationship whatsoever, and that both the Lady Marquess of Pingnan and the child are long dead!” Shao He said with an icy gaze.

At that moment, her eyes were filled with coldness and unfamiliarity, devoid of any past affection for him.

Chu Yu suddenly felt that Shao He was very distant and unfamiliar, regretting in his heart that he sent her and the child away.

Shao He’s lips curled slightly upwards, looking at the silent figure and saying with a smile again, “However, I must congratulate the Marquis. You will soon be betrothed to Miss Liang; the Marquis should really focus more on Miss Liang in the days to come.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu replied immediately, “Your such close attention to me, couldn’t be because you can’t stop thinking about me, could it? In the past you did quite a lot to please me.”

“You even sewed a pair of embroidered shoes for me overnight, made a scented sachet with your own hands, as well as clothes, and even cooked meals for me personally, not minding even if your hands were burned and blistered.”

“You also said…”

“Enough!” Shao He interrupted him with a dark look on her face. To her, these things were nothing but insults, holding no fond memories.
