Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 168 - 169: Smashing the Shop

Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Smashing the Shop

Shao He courteously invited him to dine together, but Pei Huaian, with no courtesy, directly accepted.

Xiao Linzhang, seeing the two eating, became so anxious to reach out and grab the food, crying out desperately, “Ao wu, ao wu…”

“You little glutton, your food is coming soon, but you can’t eat these,” Shao He seriously told him.

The little one seemed to understand and stopped demanding food. Instead, he obediently sat there without crying or fussing, as if patiently waiting for his own dinner.

Nanny Zhang quickly brought over fresh sheep’s milk, and Pei Huaian skillfully fed the child. Meanwhile, Shao He ate leisurely as time ticked away by the second.

Not until after the meal, when Xiao Linzhang’s eyes were struggling to stay open, did Pei Huaian reluctantly place him on the bed, carefully tucking him in.

Shao He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you truly like children that much, or is it just Xiao Linzhang you’re so fond of?”

Pei Huaian looked into her eyes and replied, “Xiao Linzhang and I have a connection; not all children will make me feel affectionate.”

Shao He actually wanted to ask if he would still dote on Xiao Linzhang as much if he had children of his own one day, but she swallowed the words before they left her mouth.

“It’s getting late; you should rest early, too,” Pei Huaian said and then turned to leave.

His excited emotions finally released completely when he returned to the courtyard next door, and upon seeing Ah Mo, he exclaimed, “He called me ‘Dad’, he said ‘Dad’ to me!”

Seeing his master so happy, Ah Mo instantly felt that the persistence over the past month had paid off.

“Congratulations, Master. Best wishes to you.”

“Mhm, add three extra taels to this month’s monthly money for everyone,” Pei Huaian announced generously, approving an increase in the monthly silver for the household.

“Thank you, Master.” Ah Mo had come to realize that the mood of the master depended on the young master and Doctor Shao.

A few days later, a man charged into the medical clinic in a rage, bellowing, “Who’s Shao He? Get out here!”

Seeing his ferocious appearance, the people around couldn’t help but step aside.

Doctor Shao, who was sitting at the consultation table, showed her face, and the man walked towards her with a stick in his hand, knocking on the table to ask, “Are you Shao He?”

“Indeed, it’s me.” Doctor Shao wasn’t intimidated by his demeanor but calmly admitted it.

Upon hearing her, the man snorted coldly and then gestured with his hand, bringing a group of people in behind him.

“Smash it!”

“Hold on,” Doctor Shao stood up and moved to the doorway, halting them, “On what grounds can you smash my clinic? I’m telling you, if you don’t make things clear today, you’re not leaving here!”

“On what grounds? Because you meddled and caused my child to be born without hands!” Sun Shaoyuan pointed at her and yelled furiously.

Doctor Shao then realized that it was the husband of the woman from the other day.

“You’re talking nonsense. If I’m not mistaken, Madam Sun still has over a month until delivery. It must have been a premature birth!” Doctor Shao explained calmly.

“Don’t talk drivel here. It was you who said my wife’s child in her womb had no hands, it was you who caused my child to be born handless. Today, I will not let you off!” Sun Shaoyuan glared at her with a grinding rage.

Suddenly enlightened, Doctor Shao said, “How utterly stupid. Even if I hadn’t said anything, the result would have been the same.”

“You…”

The man, filled with resentment, pointed at her but couldn’t utter a word. Finally, he waved his hand, signaling his followers to quickly smash the clinic.

Amidst the crashing sounds from behind, a group of people destroyed everything in the clinic that could be smashed, even herbs were spilled on the ground and trampled upon.

Zhao Yuebei wanted to intervene but was stopped by Shao He, “Stand aside with me; if you get hurt now, no one will help you.”

“I’m telling you, this matter won’t end here; I must take you to court!” Sun Shaoyuan insisted, unwilling to give up.

As more and more villagers gathered outside, they speculated about what was happening inside, their voices reaching them.

“Why is that man quarreling with the Divine Doctor Shao?”

“You don’t know? It’s said that this man’s wife bore a child without hands, and the child had only ever come here for a check-up before birth.”

Someone in the crowd chimed in, “That woman practices Demon Art and can change the sex of a fetus.”

“That’s right, she can even make a fetus be born disabled.”

“I heard she’s very skilled; she can even make someone without legs stand up, which is obviously impossible, unless she really practices Sorcery.”

“…”

As the crowd discussed among themselves, Shao He heard their words, her eyes narrowing slightly, flickering with a cold light.

Hearing their speculations, Zhao Yuebei grew even more worried, hastily explaining, “It’s not like that. These are all rumors. Doctor Shao is a good person; how could she ever resort to witchcraft.”

“Shut up!” Sun Shaoyuan scolded him.

“Today, I will send you to the official residence!”

Doctor Shao gave a contemptuous laugh and mocked, “Just you?”

“Just wait!”

“Good, I’ll wait,” Doctor Shao said, folding her arms and leaning against the wall, leisurely watching his frantic behavior.

Sun Shaoyuan hesitated for a long time before slamming his palm on the table, “It seems you’re not afraid at all, are you?”

“I have done nothing wrong, I fear no evil,” Doctor Shao replied calmly.

She already knew there was someone behind the scenes, and even suspected that Madam Sun’s premature delivery was orchestrated because someone had learned about her child being handless, all deliberately planned.

That person’s goal was to completely destroy her reputation, brand her as a witch, and as one could guess, the final outcome would be either to be sacrificed to the river or burned at the stake.
