Chapter 82: The Minister Is Here
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Su Yingxue asked Manager Qi to enter the room to take care of Wu Jinyan, he saw Wu Jinyan’s pale face and sighed repeatedly.
However, he thought about how Su Yingxue had barged into the Minister’s Estate and even injured the Minister’s daughter. She was probably going to cause trouble again.
“Miss, you broke the arms and legs of the Minister’s daughter. What if the Minister comes looking for trouble?” he said worriedly.
Su Yingxue wiped the blood off her hands, her expression cold. “He will come, and I’m waiting for him to arrive.”
“Miss, something bad happened. The Minister is here!” Zhilan ran up, panting.
The corners of Su Yingxue’s mouth curled up slightly as she gestured to Zi Wei. “Let’s go downstairs.”
Zi Wei obediently followed behind her.
Manager Qi and the others in the clinic had never dared to speak to Zi Wei. His aura was too intimidating.
However, seeing him following behind Su Yingxue like a well-behaved puppet, Manager Qi couldn’t help but sigh. “Our miss is truly formidable.”
In the main hall of the clinic, a middle-aged man was surrounded by over twenty guards.
He was dressed in court attire and had a solemn expression.
Su Yingxue descended the stairs slowly and spoke in a calm tone. “Who dares to hinder my clinic from conducting business? Do you understand the consequences of delaying a patient’s treatment?”
“How dare you! Su Yingxue, don’t you recognize me?” Wu Hongtao angrily swung his sleeves. His face displayed an air of righteousness.
However, Su Yingxue didn’t take him seriously. She knew that beneath Wu Hongtao’s solemn appearance was a corrupt individual.
In her previous life, before she died, Wu Hongtao had been exposed to corruption, and his entire family had been arrested and exiled.
Not receiving a response from Su Yingxue, Wu Hongtao thought she was afraid, so he berated her even louder. “You, as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, have come out in public to conduct business and even brought along my daughter. The two of you have disgraced our elders. And now, you have audaciously entered my residence, causing harm, murder, and even the death of my daughter. I will not let you get away with it!”
Wu Hongtao, in his position as an official in charge of reviewing others’ performance, was skilled at using his words to defame others.
The onlookers around the clinic were all taken aback by his words.
“That can’t be true. Miss Su is the owner of the clinic, which is known for treating and saving people. She wouldn’t do such things!”
“That’s right. I heard that Miss Su is a genius doctor who even cured the seriously ill Consort Xiang!”
“But can the minister lie and falsely accuse others? He said his daughter has died!”
“When the Minister says his daughter has died, which daughter is he referring to? Is it the eldest daughter who received preferential treatment, or the other Miss who was tortured almost to death by the Eldest Young Miss?”
Su Yingxue smiled mischievously.
Wu Hongtao snorted coldly. “What does my daughter have to do with you, Su Yingxue? You intruded into my residence, and injured my daughter. I will punish you!”
“Sure, but I will report your crimes to Lord Liang Jin!” Su Yingxue said firmly.
“What crime have I committed? Su Yingxue, don’t spout nonsense. You’re guilty of slandering a third-grade official! Even if your grandfather, Old General Su, returns from the battlefield, he can’t protect you!” Wu Hongtao was so angry that his face turned red. He could not help but feel a little guilty.
Su Yingxue flicked her hand and splashed a cup of tea onto his face. “You’re not worthy of mentioning my grandfather!”
“You…. How dare you! How dare you! Men, seize her and take her to the Capital
Prefecture!”
