Chapter 1378 - 1380
Ye Zi’an didn’t even lift his head and said directly, "For a patient, being able to receive treatment one day earlier means getting better one day earlier. I think Xiaxia’s decision is absolutely correct."
Then he instructed his people directly, "Ye Wu, go prepare the carriage. We’ll be sending Divine Doctor Mu to the town shortly."
"Got it!"
Mu Shaoling was shocked immediately, thinking that this couple must be determined to milk him dry today.
Did he have no autonomy anymore?
"The carriage for Divine Doctor Mu is ready!"
In no time, Ye Wu arrived, stood in front of Mu Shaoling, and said "Please, Divine Doctor Mu," extending a hand—as if him not going wasn’t an option at all.
"You... you have no consideration whatsoever," Mu Shaoling stood up indignantly, pointing several times at Ye Zi’an and the others. "I’ve just arrived and am extremely tired from the carriage ride. If I diagnose incorrectly, don’t blame me! Humph!"
Only after he left with Ye Wu did Yang Chuxia burst out laughing, finding him incredibly amusing. Was his reputation as a divine doctor all for show? To think he could diagnose wrong.
"Yangyang, come with Daddy to the study," Ye Zi’an called to Yangyang as Mu Shaoling had left, and it was no longer proper for him to stay there.
"Handsome Daddy, will you tell me about articles today?"
"Not articles today, Daddy is going to tell you a story instead."
"Really?" Yangyang was overjoyed upon hearing this—Handsome Daddy had not told him a story in a long time.
"Of course it’s true. Let’s go."
"Then Mommy, Aunt Dongyang, I’m off." After bidding them farewell, he followed Ye Zi’an to the study.
Watching the lively and adorable Little Yangyang, Dongyang said enviously, "If mine turns out to be a girl, I’d like her to marry your Yangyang in the future."
The very mention of child betrothal gave Yang Chuxia a headache, the incident with the Liu Family still being unforgettable.
"Let’s talk about it when you’re sure it’s a girl."
"I think it should be a girl. I’ve even dreamed of her wearing red clothes—how beautiful she was," Dongyang said excitedly, confident her dream was a sign.
"Heh, Dongyang, let me remind you," Yang Chuxia said and paused, "Mu Shaoling also wore red clothes, so are you really certain it’s a girl?" She continued, "I think you’d be better off praying for a boy. The Mu family is a grand lineage, not like our humble household. Without a son, it will be difficult to establish oneself."
"I know!" She hadn’t spent these years in the Capital City for nothing; of course she understood these things.
"By the way, I didn’t get a chance to ask you last time. How have you been all these years in the Capital City?" Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and then added, "How is that concubine? Has she caused more trouble?" Yang Chuxia added, "I’m telling you, when it comes to troublemakers, no matter their status, if they’re living under your roof, you need to deal with them firmly. They choose not to behave as the chief wife, preferring to act as a concubine, then they deserve to be oppressed."
"Hehe, look at your fiery temper," Dongyang laughed. "I tell you, there were several disturbances the first year. I tolerated them at first, but eventually I had someone beat her. I even wanted to send her away to a cottage, but it was Mu Shaoling who said the child wasn’t his, so I let her stay."
"What? Truly not his child?" Yang Chuxia was surprised; even Brother An had been skeptical before. "If he isn’t the father, then who is?"
"That?" Commandery Princess Dongyang shook her head, "He didn’t tell me. But I figure that woman probably does not know who the actual father of her child is either."
