Capítulo 759: Chapter 741: I Also Have Tis When I’m Threatened to Be Slapped
Qin Liuxi didn’t take the incident at the city gate to heart. In this era, social hierarchy is differentiated by family background and power, and to so powerful people, commoners like them are as insignificant as ants.
However, Qin Liuxi did not expect that when he was about to leave E City, he would have an encounter with Granny Liu, and this encounter could not be described as pleasant.
At the invitation of Princess Rong’an, who facilitated the connection, Qin Liuxi went to the Liu Family for a dical consultation, only to find out that the patient was Granny Liu, whom he had encountered at the city gate.
As ntioned earlier, you can tell the character of a master by looking at their servants. It was indeed true; the people around Granny Liu might not all be exceptionally arrogant, but each carried an air of superiority. She had the confidence because she was born in an Earl’s family, her father Uncle Liu Yang was one of the Saint’s childhood reading companions. Although his noble rank was reduced due to ancestral constraints to that of an Earl, Uncle Liu Yang was still influential, serving as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the court, just a step away from being a minister, and he also had the deep trust of the Saint.
Granny Liu’s family na on her father’s side was Hu, and she was the only legitimate daughter in the family, highly favored. Marrying into the Liu Family was considered marrying below her status, but she was smitten by the good looks of Eldest Young Master Liu, hence she strongly desired to possess Grandpa Liu completely, to the extent that she would not allow him to take concubines even after five years of marriage without children. Any maidservant who dared to seduce Grandpa Liu would be beaten to death by her.
Granny Liu doesn’t care about the reputation of being a jealous wife. She only cares about her own comfort. Whoever makes her uncomfortable, she makes sure they suffer!
Thus, even if Grandpa Liu was dissatisfied with her, he dared not speak much, as her father had a significant influence in front of the Saint, and her brothers were not people to be trifed with.
The Liu Family, impossible to contend against!
The confidence given by her paternal family nurtured Granny Liu’s domineering and tyrannical nature. Now, she was finally pregnant, but as she was approaching childbirth, she started to feel discomfort, sleepless nights, loss of appetite, and difficulty in breathing, all of which quickly made her visibly emaciated.
Mrs. Liu feared complications during her daughter-in-law’s childbirth that could lead to familial bla. At a recent banquet, she brought it up to Princess Rong’an, who then facilitated the connection.
Granny Liu did not refuse; the child was important, but her own life was even more so. She didn’t want to risk her life for the sake of this little creature.
Having an estimate in mind, Qin Liuxi was taken aback when he saw Granny Liu again; perhaps because of the difficult pregnancy, she had beco severely thin, her belly hugely swollen as if the child inside had absorbed all her Primordial Qi.
Because of her thinness, her face appeared quite harsh, and her phoenix eyes, carrying a trace of Vicious Energy, looked down on people with arrogance and disdain, very much haughty.
Wang Chuan just glanced at her and then hid behind Qin Liuxi, bowing his head.
Seeing this, Teng Zhao took her out.
Granny Liu sneered and said, “Is this half-grown child the powerful Daoist doctor the princess spoke of? Can you really treat people while bringing a child along?”
Princess Rong’an frowned slightly, her expression sowhat displeased.
Seeing her daughter-in-law about to speak rudely again, Mrs. Liu quickly tried to smooth things over, flattering the princess, “The person recomnded by the princess must be excellent, and it’s all well-intended. You should be grateful.”
Granny Liu did not dare to confront Princess Rong’an, saying, “Of course, I am grateful to the princess.”
Princess Rong’an calmly said, “We all know how hard pregnancy can be as we’ve been through it. I just didn’t want you to suffer during childbirth, so I facilitated this eting. Whether he can diagnose anything or cure it, really depends on fate.”
Having grown up in the capital, Granny Liu naturally detected the dissatisfaction in Princess Rong’an’s words, feeling sowhat unhappy herself, she looked at Qin Liuxi and said, “Then the little Taoist might as well say, what illness do I have?”
Qin Liuxi smiled lightly and replied, “What illness it is, Granny knows best. I can’t treat this condition, sorry.”
Everyone was startled. Without even checking, they declared it couldn’t be treated?
Grandma Liu scoffed, saying, “The little Taoist has quite the temper. Could it be that you were annoyed by what I said earlier?”
Qin Liuxi stood up, her voice calm, and said, “Grandma, no one knows better than you how this pregnancy ca about. The unfavorable signs are just karmic retribution!”
Bang.
Grandma Liu angrily swept a teacup off the table onto the floor and shouted, “How dare you, what nonsense are you spouting? Soone, slap her!”
Qin Liuxi was surprised; she didn’t expect that she’d be threatened with a slap. Is this the arrogance of a noble lady?
Princess Rong’an was initially shocked by what Qin Liuxi had said, but upon seeing Grandma Liu’s anger and her order to slap, she imdiately stood up and charged over, “I’d like to see who dares! Mrs. Liu, is this how your household treats guests?”
Mrs. Liu wished she could faint; what were these circumstances?
“Your Highness, please calm down. My daughter-in-law was just montarily furious. Seeing as she is pregnant and suffering, please forgive her this once.” Mrs. Liu walked over to Grandma Liu, took her hand, and said, “Shu’s wife, quickly apologize to the Princess.”
Grandma Liu angrily shook off her hand, looking at Princess Rong’an, “Princess, I am not venting my anger on you. You also heard what she just said. She was the first to speak rudely.”
“The person was brought by ; if you want to vent your anger on her, you are slapping my face. What, you think you can just slap the face of soone from Rong’an?” Princess Rong’an’s eyes turned fierce, and she said, “I heard that your pregnancy is not going well, and the doctor couldn’t figure it out, so I thought of recomnding soone capable to you. It turns out my good intentions were misplaced. If that’s the case, consider ddling and pardon my departure!”
She turned around, intending to leave with Qin Liuxi.
This was infuriating, regardless of what Qin Liuxi had said, Mrs. Hu wanting to slap her was effectively a slap to her own face.
And she thought she was helping out of goodwill?
Uncle Liu Yang’s Mansion truly raised a formidable lady, and he still thought about making connections with the Mu Family, how ridiculous!
Let’s not even ntion that she doesn’t have a grandson of suitable age; even if the main branch had one, she would not want such a niece-in-law. Who knows if she’s just another domineering Liu Family woman.
“She cannot leave; talk things through first,” Grandma Liu said angrily, “Stop them.”
Princess Rong’an was so angry she really wanted to overturn everything. She knew this person was domineering, but she hadn’t realized how unreasonable and vicious she had beco; this was an eye-opener.
Mrs. Liu was almost crying; she could imagine that after today, many ladies would no longer want to associate with her. What sins did the Liu family commit to marry such a wicked woman?
Qin Liuxi patted the furious Princess Rong’an, looked at Grandma Liu’s large belly, and said aningfully, “Are you sure you want to say it?”
Grandma Liu paused to breathe, her hands clenched into fists, sowhat guilty.
“This child will not survive, and there’s no need to keep scheming in vain.” Said Qin Liuxi as she began to walk out, “Whatever sins you’ve committed, they will always be paid back.”
