In the main hall of the Luo family, a stern-faced, middle-aged beauty was pointing a finger at Luo Xueying's nose, complaining to a middle-aged man lying on the sofa, trembling in pain.
This middle-aged beauty was none other than Luo Xueying's stepmother, Zhao Meiling. Besides the three of them, a slender, effeminate young man stood in the room. He was Zhao Meiling's own son, and Luo Xueying's nominal younger brother, Luo Tianxiong!
"Yes, Father, what Sister did is simply disregarding your safety. It's truly wrong!"
"See, isn't Xiong'er better? He knows how to care for you!"
Upon hearing his mother's words, Luo Tianxiong quickly chimed in.
However, for some unknown reason, even though this fellow was a man, he insisted on acting like a delicate woman, which made people feel very uncomfortable!
"You unfilial son, shut up!"
"Hearing you speak makes me feel even worse!"
"Damn it, what kind of karma did I, Luo Changying, create in my past life to have given birth to a monstrous, neither man nor woman creature like you!"
"I truly regret not having shot you onto the wall back then, and now you're here disgusting me!"
Upon hearing Luo Tianxiong's words, the middle-aged man writhing in pain on the sofa suddenly roared, startling Luo Tianxiong into retreating several steps.
"Alright, Tianming, you only know how to take your anger out on Xiong'er!"
"Why don't you say something about your precious daughter?"
"She actually believed the words of some brash young man and handed over the medicine meant to treat you!"
"Mu Yunxi is a dignified national physician. Could her prescription be wrong?"
"She actually believes such deceitful nonsense. I see she truly inherited her mother's high intelligence!"
Seeing her son's pathetic state, Zhao Meiling was also furious.
However, no matter what, he was still her own son. Even with her dissatisfaction, she had to defend him.
Thus, she immediately turned her attention back to Luo Xueying.
"Zhao Meiling, that's enough!"
"It's one thing to scold me, but now you dare to criticize my mother!"
"Who do you think you are? If my mother hadn't passed away early, would you have the right to speak in this house?"
"Know your place. You are the outsider in this family!"
Hearing Zhao Meiling's words, Luo Xueying had no intention of bothering with her. But who would have thought she would dare to subtly insult her mother? This made Luo Xueying unable to tolerate it any longer.
She immediately retorted with a series of sharp words.
Zhao Meiling's face turned as red as a pig's liver from anger!
"Luo Xueying, you, you!"
"Tianming, look! This is your precious daughter!"
"Now she even dares to curse at me. Although I'm not her biological mother, I am the mistress of this household after all!"
"She..."
"Enough! All of you, be quiet!"
"You're making my head explode from the noise!"
"Xueying, was what you said yesterday true?"
"Did someone really cure Elder Master Lu's illness?"
Before Zhao Meiling could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Luo Changying's roar.
Then, he laboriously turned over and inquired about what happened at the Bao Yao Pavilion yesterday.
"Yes, Father!"
"Yesterday, I personally saw that person walking with Miss Lu, Lu Ling'er!"
"It was Lu Ling'er herself who admitted that Elder Master Lu's illness had been cured by that young man!"
"Otherwise, how could I have believed his words!"
"He said he would come to treat you today. I think he might be on his way!"
"Good. That's good. If he can truly cure my illness, then he will forever be a friend of our Luo family!"
Hearing Luo Xueying's words, Luo Changying let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The fire poison had plagued him for years, and he had been unable to find a cure.
If the person Luo Xueying mentioned could truly cure him, he wouldn't hesitate to trade half of his Luo family for it.
"Tianming, I think you've really gotten delirious from the fever!"
"You believe whatever your daughter says!"
"What if that Lu family girl just said that to trick you into giving away the medicinal herbs?"
"I think that lowly bitch from the Lu family is probably in cahoots with that charlatan your daughter mentioned!"
"You're still expecting someone to treat you. They've probably already taken the medicinal herbs and fled!"
Hearing Luo Changying's words, the persistent Zhao Meiling interjected again.
Upon hearing Zhao Meiling refer to the Lu family's eldest daughter as a "lowly bitch," Luo Changying's eyebrows immediately shot up. Just as he was about to reprimand her again, he was interrupted by a deep voice.
"You say, who is a lowly bitch?"
As this voice rang out, the large iron gate at the Luo family entrance suddenly crashed down.
With the iron gate falling, a thin figure slowly appeared before Luo Changying and the others. The person who arrived was Zhou Xuan!
Zhou Xuan's mood was not particularly good at the moment, as he had come to the Luo family today to fulfill the promise he made to Luo Xueying yesterday.
However, as soon as he arrived at the family's doorstep, he heard someone inside calling Lu Ling'er a "lowly bitch."
How could Zhou Xuan tolerate that? Lu Ling'er was his intended wife. To insult her was to declare war on him, Zhou Xuan!
Therefore, in a fit of rage, Zhou Xuan channeled his true qi and kicked open the large iron gate before him.
"Divine Doctor, you're here!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan appear before her, Luo Xueying let out a cry of surprise, completely ignoring his violent entrance.
"Is this the divine doctor Xueying mentioned?"
"He's certainly not ordinary. Judging by his demeanor, he should be a master of inner martial arts who cultivates qi!"
Hearing Luo Xueying's words, Luo Changying, lying on the sofa, temporarily forgot his pain and began to analyze Zhou Xuan's identity in his mind.
Being able to kick open his family's thick iron gate with a single kick, it was impossible if the other party wasn't a qi-controlling inner martial arts master.
"I ask, who just said Lu Ling'er is a lowly bitch?"
Seeing that no one answered his question, Zhou Xuan's eyes grew colder. He then spoke again.
Moreover, his hands had already begun to channel true qi, giving the impression that he was ready to kill everyone present if they didn't cooperate!
"Divine Doctor, please calm your anger. My wife spoke carelessly just now. I hope the Divine Doctor will not take offense!"
"I will definitely..."
Seeing Zhou Xuan's aggressive stance, Luo Changying quickly tried to appease him. However, before he could finish speaking, Luo Tianxiong from the side suddenly jumped out.
"Who are you, daring to intrude upon our Luo family?"
"Are you looking to die?"
"What's wrong with calling someone a name?"
"If our Luo family wants to curse someone, we'll curse them. If I want, I'll even hit you!"
"Dad, do you think I'm man enough this time!"
As Luo Tianxiong spoke, he proudly showed off to Luo Changying lying on the sofa, as if he had accomplished something extraordinary.
Little did he know that Luo Changying was already contemplating the idea of disowning him for the greater good.
At this moment, his only thought was that he could never pass on the Luo family's assets to this stupid pig in the future, or the Luo family would surely perish!
