Novel Bin Chapter 27
Chapter 27
The fragrance of tea filled the air in the hall, but Liang Jin’s expression did not improve. He coldly said, “Marquis, do you treat me as nonexistent?”
Su Dingheng was stunned, thinking that he had never offended Liang Jin.
“Lord Liang, what are you saying? We are officials of the same dynasty, I have always respected you.”
“Marquis, you’re respecting me while knowingly breaking the law? Tongchang Medical Center is operating with sincerity, but you sent soldiers to guard it and forbade it from opening. Do you know how many patients’ illnesses have been delayed?” Liang Jin asked with a stern face.
“Where… Where did this come from? Lord Liang, you might not know this, but Tongchang Medical Center is opened by my unfilial daughter, Su Yingxue. She refused to hand over the medical center to me, so I came up with this plan. She’s just a girl who hasn’t seen the world. How can she manage the medical center well?” Su Dingheng’s heart was burning with rage.
He didn’t expect Liang Jin to find trouble with him because of this. At the same time, he scolded Su Yingxue several times in his heart.
“Miss Su’s management of the medical center is not necessarily worse than yours, right?” Liang Jin’s eyes were filled with mockery.
He took out a stack of complaints. “This is the debt owed by the shop that you have closed down. The complaint was lodged by the commoners! Marquis, you mismanaged the business, resulting in losses, and yet you still have the cheek to ask for your daughter’s medical center?”
Liang Jin’s expression and words were harsh, and what he said scratched off a layer of Su Dingheng’s shamelessness.
Su Dingheng was both embarrassed and annoyed. “What does these two things have to do with each other? I will return this money!”
“When will you return it? Give me a word. Next time, when the court opens for a trial, I will have an explanation for the people.” Liang Jin snorted coldly.
“I… I said I will return it! Lord Liang, why are you so aggressive?”
Tens of thousands of taels of silver, wouldn’t it feel good to have them on him?
Why should it be given to those lowly commoners!
Liang Jin had always looked down on Su Dingheng and did not hide the mockery in his eyes. “Marquis, I advise you to withdraw those people as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will invite you to the capital governor’s manor at any time to calculate the compensation for the people!”
“Liang Jin, you’re going too far!” Su Dingheng smashed the teacup, his face ashen.
“Marquis Su! I’m just discussing the matter. Are you going to withdraw the soldiers of the Marquis’s Manor or not?” Liang Jin glared at Su Dingheng, not giving in at all.
“Humph!”
Su Dingheng was like an angry rooster, unwilling to admit defeat in front of Liang Jin.
Liang Jin waved his hand. “Men! Bring the shackles over and invite Marquis Su back to the capital governor’s manor with me!”
“You, you, you…”
Su Dingheng was frightened by Liang Jin’s imposing manner. If he was really shackled and brought to the capital governor’s manor by Liang Jin, he would lose his reputation.
Anger, shame, hatred, and countless emotions surged up. Su Dingheng gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll withdraw the people now!”
After saying that, he immediately ordered people to withdraw the soldiers surrounding the medical center.
Liang Jin put away the complaint and left the Marquis’s Manor without even informing Su Dingheng.
At the entrance of the Marquis’s Manor, he saw Su Yingxue wearing a black veil and bamboo hat. He stepped forward and said, “Genius Doctor, don’t worry. The soldiers at Tongchang Medical Center have already withdrawn. You can take care of the patient in peace.”
He looked at Su Yingxue with admiration.
Su Yingxue smiled. “Thank you, Lord Liang, for helping the center out.”
“There’s no need to thank me. The big and small matters in Jiang Du City are all within my responsibility. Moreover, you cured my wife, so I can’t thank you enough.” At the mention of his wife, a hint of tenderness flashed across Liang Jin’s eyes.
Su Yingxue looked at him and suddenly thought of Chu Yihan.
That stinky prince who stole her jade pendant and handkerchief was always cold when he looked at others, but to her…
“Hey, you’re thinking about love!”
The Little Ginseng’s crisp and tender voice carried a hint of gossip. Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only
Su Yingxue immediately shook her head. “You’re the one who’s thinking about it! You’re a little wimp who’s thinking about all sorts of indecent things all day long!”
“Humph! I’ve lived longer than your ancestors and have seen a lot of things! Sooner or later, you’ll be tricked!” Little Ginseng stuck out its tongue at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue’s eyes were filled with anger. She would be tricked by Chu Yihan?
No! Way!
After the medical center was sealed for a day, it operated normally. Manager Qi and Wu Jinyan were also very busy.
Su Yingxue helped them and only returned to the manor late at night.
Without waiting for her to rest, Zhilan quietly told her, “Miss, the Marquis just came and smashed the courtyard. He was especially angry.”
Su Yingxue returned to the courtyard and saw that it was a mess that had not been cleaned up. She was so angry that she curled her lips. “Great, just great!”
Calling him father was giving him face, wasn’t it?
Su Yingxue rolled up her sleeves and rushed into Su Dingheng’s courtyard, giving him a fright as he was about to rest.
His face was filled with horror. “You unfilial daughter, do you want to die? How dare you barge into my courtyard!”
“Father, you can barge into my courtyard, so why can’t I barge into yours?”
Su Dingheng moved his mouth, but before he could speak, Su Yingxue shouted first, “Just because you’re my father? So you won’t even let go of my medical center? You were humiliated today, and now you want to put the blame on me?”
“You… You unfilial daughter! I knew it was you who instigated Liang Jin!”
Otherwise, why would Liang Jin suddenly come to him to dig up old scores and attack him so ruthlessly?
It was all because of Su Yingxue, this disobedient thing!
“But how do you know Liang Jin?” He couldn’t figure it out again. Forget about Su Yingxue’s medical center that was left behind by her mother. With Liang Jin’s official position and temper, even he didn’t dare to offend him. How could Su Yingxue order him to do anything?
“Father, you want to know?” The corners of Su Yingxue’s mouth curled up into an evil smile.
Su Dingheng snorted coldly.
The smile in Su Yingxue’s eyes instantly turned cold. “What can you do to me if I don’t tell you?”
“You! You unfilial daughter!” Su Dingheng picked up a vase and threw it at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue was not hit, but the vase was smashed into pieces. Su Dingheng’s heart ached.
“Father, you smashed my courtyard. Why don’t I show my filial piety to you too?”
Su Yingxue smiled coldly. Then, with a few punches and kicks, she smashed all the valuable items in Su Dingheng’s room. She even pulled out all the exotic flowers and plants in his courtyard.
Su Dingheng jumped up in anger and shouted crazily, “Su Yingxue, are you crazy! I’m going to beat you to death!”
“Is that so? Father, this pot of orchids seems to be quite expensive. It was cultivated in the palace, right?”
As soon as Su Yingxue finished speaking, the flower pot shattered with a bang.
She even stomped on it a few times. Su Dingheng clutched his chest hard. “That pot of orchids is worth thousands of gold, Su Yingxue! I…”
