Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 181 - 182 Jealous
Chapter 181 -182 Jealous
“Shao He, you mustn’t be fooled. If the Shao Family really cared about you, they should have taken you back when you were in trouble, not when you’re in your glory days,”
Old Madam Chu pleaded earnestly, hoping Shao He would not return to the Shao Family.
With a faint smile on her lips, Shao He responded, “Old Madam, when you say this, why don’t you consider if you might do the same? Whether I return to the Shao Family has nothing to do with you, and even less to do with Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.”
“You…” Old Madam Chu was so infuriated that her chest heaved violently. She couldn’t believe Shao He was so stubborn, but given the current situation of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
She forced a smile and said, “Even if you don’t consider yourself, think about the child. After all, he is the Princely Heir of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion. If you’re willing to return, I can have Yuyu break off his engagement with the Liang Family.”
“At that time, we’ll welcome you and the child back with grandeur, and we’ll ensure you don’t suffer the slightest grievance,” Old Madam Chu eagerly hoped she would return to Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.
Although Shao He didn’t know the reason behind this, she still declined, “Old Madam, please go back. Do not come here to disturb our lives in the future. And please tell the Marquis to stop harboring intentions toward me and my child; we have long severed our ties with him.”
After uttering these heartless words, Shao He walked into the mansion and had Qingxia close the door, leaving Old Madam Chu pounding on the door to no avail.
Shao He had been pondering what exactly was going on, and despite thinking for several days, she hadn’t figured it out.
One day, just as Shao He was coming out from the backyard, she saw Pei Siyang approaching.
“The Crown Prince comes for an unexpected visit; are you feeling unwell, or is there a problem with your artificial limb?”
Pei Siyang lifted his robe to show his leg, “I don’t know why, but recently it seems to chafe constantly. It isn’t painful, but it’s rather inconvenient.”
After checking, Shao He adjusted the mechanical prosthetic and prescribed some ointment. “You could try walking less and not be too hasty. Take it slow. Otherwise, it’s easy to get hurt if you don’t control it well.”
“Thank you, Doctor Shao,” Pei Siyang said with a smile, nodding his head.
“You’re welcome.” Shao He noticed that his mood seemed much better than before; his face had more smiles, and his eyes sparkled, no longer as dim as they used to be.
As Pei Siyang got up to leave, he suddenly remarked, “A few days ago, I saw my fifth brother’s leg has also healed. Doctor Shao’s medical skills are truly astonishing.”
Only then did Shao He remember she hadn’t seen Pei Huaian for several days since Anji Hall reopened and wondered what he had been up to recently.
Pei Siyang, unaware of the ambiguous relationship between the two, continued, “In this case, his engagement with Princess Ninghe should be back on schedule. The Emperor intends to bestow a marriage upon the two of them. It was always delayed due to my fifth brother’s leg condition, but now that he has recovered, it is time to start planning.”
“Um…” Shao He gave a perfunctory response.
Thinking of Pei Huaian and Princess Ninghe, her heart felt inexplicably sour, and she didn’t even know how to send Pei Siyang away.
After he left, she sat by herself, staring out the window, lost in thought.
Zhao Yuebei came over with a prescription in hand to ask questions, but after talking at length, she realized Shao He wasn’t listening, having to call her several times before she snapped back to reality.
“Doctor Shao, are you feeling unwell? You look pale. Do you need to go back and rest?” Zhao Yuebei asked with concern.
Gathering her scattered thoughts, Shao He shook her head, “I’m fine. What’s the issue with this prescription?”
Zhao Yuebei repeated her earlier question, and Shao He patiently answered, after which Zhao Yuebei carefully listened and went to prepare the medicine.
A man dressed in a black robe came over and placed one ingot of silver on the table, “I want to buy a tasteless, colorless aphrodisiac that’s undetectable, and also something to enhance pleasure, or make someone compliant.”
Shao He couldn’t see his face, only that he was completely wrapped in a black robe; she could tell from his voice that he was a man.
“I don’t sell that kind of drug here.” Shao He sensed this man was up to no good, likely wanting the drugs to harm someone, and she outright refused.
The man placed another silver ingot on the table, “As long as you can make it, price is not an issue.”
Shao He pushed all the silver back to him, rejecting him coldly, “No matter how much you offer, I will not sell to you.”
“This isn’t about money. Anji Hall is a business, but we won’t sell such despicable things.”
The man let out a mocking laugh, his tone scornful, “You can’t make it, can you? I think your Anji Hall is just empty fame!”
“I want a drug that even the best doctors in the world wouldn’t detect, and you can’t even make that.”
Shao He wasn’t goaded by his provocation and retorted with a sneer, “If a doctor can’t detect it, it must be because their skills are lacking.”
The man in the black robe didn’t linger and turned to leave.

After exiting Anji Hall, he looked around to make sure no one was following him, then went to a nearby restaurant. Once inside a private room, he reported to the figure standing by the window, “Marquis, the matter was not successful. She refuses to sell the drugs.”
Chu Yu turned around, having anticipated this outcome, “It seems using drugs to target the child and her won’t work, and neither will Ming Qiang. We must think of another way to separate her from the child. Only then can we snatch the child away.”
He knew the child was very important to Shao He; if he got hold of the child, Shao He would naturally comply.
