Chapter 136 The person you like
Ge was knocked to the ground again. Fortunately, this time her teeth were not broken. However, this time the fall hurt more than her face, and she almost fainted.
But upon hearing the words "divorce me," she suddenly found the strength from who-knows-where, gritted her teeth, and propped herself up, pointing at Wei Guangzheng and roaring like a tiger, "If you dare to divorce me, I will make you wish you were dead!"
A couple married for over twenty years...
She never imagined she would one day hear the words "I'm divorcing you"!
For more than twenty years, she managed the household affairs for him, took care of the two elders until their deaths, and even went to great lengths to please You Yueqin so that the father and son would have more money to spend...
But both father and son are utterly disappointing!
The son offended Ye Shishu for the sake of a woman he picked up, causing her to lose all her plans that she had painstakingly devised over the past twenty years, and watch helplessly as the enormous wealth that was about to be in her hands turned into nothing!
This father is an even worse bastard!
He actually wants to divorce his wife of over twenty years, who has shared joys and sorrows with him, for the sake of a prostitute!
"Madam, someone from the Prime Minister's residence has arrived." The steward's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Ge gradually regained some clarity from her resentment.
She wiped the blood from her mouth, glared viciously at the four women in the room, then pushed Wei Guangzheng aside and left the debauched room with resentment.
As soon as she left, four beauties surrounded Wei Guangzheng.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Sir, please don't be angry. It will break our hearts if you get sick from it."
"Master, please sit down and let me calm you down."
"Sir, please don't send us away. We will serve you with all our might."
Unlike other women who would cry and beg for comfort and affection when wronged, these women were all full of concern, afraid that Wei Guangzheng might get hurt.
Compared to Ge's fierce, tigress-like appearance, the women before him were like the warm sun in winter, instantly dispelling the gloom and anger in Wei Guangzheng's heart. He turned around and left Ge behind.
"You are truly the master's darlings! Come, let the master pamper you!"
On the side of the door, Yu Niang first watched Ge Shi leave, then listened for a moment from the corner of the wall.
She left with a smile only after hearing embarrassing sounds coming from inside the house.
Given Wei Guangzheng's physique, he wouldn't be able to handle it in a couple of days. She needed to tell the second young master to prepare more 'tonic' for Wei Guangzheng...
……
The Prime Minister's wife's birthday banquet.
Gu Simo and Ye Shishu had already discussed it, and she would go to the Prime Minister's residence first.
Originally, Ye Shishu was against her acting alone. Knowing that Ye Shishu was worried about her safety, she smiled and comforted Ye Shishu, "Little sister, don't worry. Even if someone uses underhanded means, they can't deal with me."
Ye Shishu recalled that time at the tavern, and at Yu Chiling's prompting, she had no choice but to go into the Prime Minister's residence first.
Upon learning that she had arrived as promised, the Prime Minister's wife, Lady Nangong, personally came out to greet her.
"Not only is Doctor Hua's medical skill superb, but she is also incredibly beautiful. Even celestial fairies would feel ashamed in comparison to you!"
"Madam, you flatter me. I am but an insignificant grain of sand among the masses. How can I compare to a celestial being? You flatter me," Gu Simo replied humbly.
Seeing her so reserved and low-key, Madam Nangong smiled slightly and then led her into her courtyard.
Perhaps because she arrived early, she only saw busy servants and not many guests.
Upon entering the hall, she stopped in her tracks and looked at the man and woman seated at the head of the table with a blank expression.
"Dr. Hua, we heard that you were coming to celebrate my birthday. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have been waiting at the Prime Minister's residence since early this morning! They have long admired your name and are eager to get to know you today!" Madam Nangong explained to her in an approachable manner.
Gu Simo stepped forward and respectfully performed the full kneeling ceremony, "This commoner greets His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Princess!"
Zhu Huaning stood up and personally helped her up, saying, "Dr. Hua, please don't stand on ceremony. Today is my mother's family banquet, so please don't be so formal and just make yourself at home."
"This humble woman dares not," Gu Simo shook her head in fear and unease.
Zhu Huaning smiled and led her to a seat, which was to the left of Yu Chi Rui, meaning she was the closest to him.
Then she sat down opposite Zhu Huaning and started chatting with her gently and caringly.
"May I ask where Dr. Hua is from? Who were your ancestors? You are so young yet possess medical skills that even veteran imperial physicians cannot match. Your ancestors must have come from a prominent family, right?"
"Your Highness, I was born into a poor family. I was just lucky to meet my mentor, who taught me medicine, which is why I have this little bit of skill." Gu Simo maintained her humble attitude.
"Oh, I forgot, Doctor Hua is a disciple of Hua Xiang Pavilion. I can't ask too many questions about Hua Xiang Pavilion!" Zhu Huaning suddenly remembered her identity and immediately changed the subject. "Doctor Hua, you are so young and beautiful, I'm sure you have many admirers. I wonder if you are married?"
"Your Highness, I am not engaged, but I have someone I admire."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huaning's expression froze for a moment, then she looked at Yu Chi Rui.
From the moment Gu Simo entered the room, Yu Chi Rui's gaze fell on her. Now, hearing her say that she already had someone she liked, his originally amiable handsome face unnaturally darkened a bit.
Zhu Huaning smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder which young master is so lucky to be engaged to Doctor Hua?"
"Your Highness, the person I admire is the second young master of General Zhihe's mansion."
"...!" Upon hearing this answer, Zhu Huaning and Yu Chi Rui's faces darkened almost simultaneously!
"Doesn't Doctor Hua know that Ye Shijun's wife just died?" Before Zhu Huaning could speak again, Yu Chi Rui asked personally.
"Your Highness, I understand, but when it comes to matters of the heart, I find it difficult to control myself."
"Judging from what Doctor Hua is saying, is it that he will only marry Ye Shijun?"
"Yes."
Yu Chi Rui's face was not only dark, but his anger was almost bursting out of his head. He asked in a cold voice, "I wonder what Doctor Hua likes about him?"
Gu Simo raised her head, seemingly unaware of his angry face, and smiled slightly, "Young Master Ye is lively, loyal, and responsible; he is a rare and excellent man. I am very happy to be moved by Young Master Ye."
"you!"
