The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 553: Chapter 553 You also have a share in Tongde Hall_1

“If you don’t like hearing it, then don’t listen. When I came in, I told you I could be ignored, and it was you who insisted on involving me in your conversation,” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo’s attitude was downright arrogant and overbearing.

However, in the current situation, not only could Wei Qingwan do nothing about her, but Madam Yun had no choice but to bear with it as well.

She was Queen Rui, her status higher than anyone else present. Furthermore, her wisdom was being praised by the Emperor himself.

Now, not to mention Wei Qingwan, who was a concubine in the King Yu’s Residence, even King Yu himself was inferior to her.

Wei Qingwan’s tears flowed more intensely now, but she dared not sob out loud. She covered her mouth, her appearance making others more sympathetic.

Madam Yun was also at a loss for what to do.

Just then, Cuiping came back, followed by a female doctor from Tongde Hall.

There were many doctors in Capital City, but not so many women doctors with most of them being held in various residences and the royal palace.

The most renowned female doctor in the capital was from Tongde Hall, a unique one.

Seeing this, Wei Qingwan quickly turned her head away, stealthily wiping her tears.

Madam Yun also quickly changed her expression. With others present, she needed to maintain the dignity expected of the Third Lady of the Wei Family.

“Madam, I have brought Dr. Mo,” Cuiping said.

“Dr. Mo pays her respects to Lady Wei,” said a woman in her thirties. She wore a simple cyan long gown and carried a medicine box. Her hair was styled in a typical woman’s bun. While her features were not beautiful, they were definitely not unpleasant, giving off a comfortable vibe.

“Sorry to trouble Dr. Mo. She has been unwell recently, could you take her pulse?” Madam Yun asked.

She had specially asked Cuiping to invite Dr. Mo over to have a look at Wanwan. It was said that Dr. Mo had excellent methods for treating women’s ailments, more effective than typical doctors.

Mo Qinyue, about to head towards Wei Qingwan’s position, suddenly saw Wei Ruo seated off to one side and a look of joy appeared on her face.

“Are you also here?” She asked Wei Ruo.

Before Wei Ruo could answer, Madam Yun asked, “Dr. Mo knows Queen Rui?”

“Queen Rui?” Mo Qinyue turned her head towards Wei Ruo, her expression filled with surprise. “Are you Queen Rui?”

Wei Ruo lightly nodded her head.

Mo Qinyue hurriedly voiced her apologies. “I am guilty for not recognizing your identity earlier. For any disrespect that has been given, I beg your forgiveness!”

“What guilt do you have? You did nothing to offend me earlier, so what forgiveness are you asking for?” Wei Ruo answered.

By virtue of Wei Ruo and Xie Ying establishing the women’s clinic, which catered to women of all social classes, Dr. Mo had always respected Wei Ruo.

To help women feel more at ease when seeking treatment, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying sought out women who had knowledge of medical skills, and Mo Qinyue was one of those they found.

Mo Qinyue’s father was a doctor, and she gained medical knowledge from him since childhood.

When they found Mo Qinyue, she was facing the possibility of homelessness. While her husband was bedridden due to serious injuries, her brother-in-law was seizing their house with her parents-in-law’s support.

Wei Ruo helped Mo Qinyue out of her predicament and invited her to join the female clinic at Tongde Hall. Wei Ruo advised and helped Mo Qinyue in her medical practice further, even providing medical treatment plans for her husband.

However, before that day, Mo Qinyue only knew about Wei Ruo’s medical skills and was unaware of Wei Ruo’s true identity.

Weiruo and Mo Qinyue’s conversation left Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan confused.

“How did Dr. Mo get to know Queen Rui?” Yun inquired.

Dr. Mo didn’t immediately answer. After seeing Wei Ruo give a slight nod, she responded to Madam Yun’s question.

“As a woman, practicing medicine is difficult. My current situation is thanks to the grace of Queen Rui and the owner of Tongde Hall,” Dr. Mo replied.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yun couldn’t help but ask, “Is Queen Rui acquainted with the owner of Tongde Hall?”

“Yes, don’t you know? Doctor Xu is associated with Tongde Hall, so wouldn’t it be normal for me to have connections with it as well?” Wei Ruo answered casually.

What’s normal about that? Nothing is normal about it!

At that moment, Wei Qingwan had already mentally cursed Wei Ruo from head to toe.

Where did Wei Ruo get all these identities from? Firstly, it was revealed that Baili Wine Shop and Four Treasure House had connections with Wei Ruo, now a new connection to Tongde Hall has emerged out of the blue!

When did she manage to set all this up? Obviously, she was either living in the country or with the Wei family before this. How on earth did she extend her reach so far?

Wei Ruo continued to speak to Mo Qinyue. “It doesn’t matter about me. You do your thing.”

“Yes”. Mo Qinyue went to Wei Qingwan and said, “Please put your hand on the pulse cushion, Madam. I am going to take your pulse.”

“I don’t want you to see me! I believe you are only a doctor in name!” Wei Qingwan refused to cooperate.

Mo Qinyue’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

“Wanwan… Dr. Mo is here, let her take a look…” Madam Yun urged.

“Mother, the doctors from King Yu’s Residence have already seen me, and I don’t need any outsiders,” replied Wei Qingwan.

“This Dr. Mo is different. She is excellent in her medical practice, maybe she could figure something out…” Madam Yun said.

She wished to hear a more accurate diagnosis to put her mind at ease.

“I won’t trust someone who discards her duty as woman, neglecting her paralytic husband at home to flaunt about outside,” Wei Qingwan said.

“This… ” Madam Yun looked somewhat embarrassed.

However, Mo Qinyue seemed unaffected and gracefully stood up. “Since Madam is unwilling to let me treat her, I will take my leave now.”

With that, Mo Qinyue bowed to Madam Yun and Wei Ruo, turned around, and walked out.

“Dr. Mo…” Madam Yun started to say, attempting to stop her. However, seeing Wei Qingwan’s resolute stance, she swallowed her words.

The moment Dr. Mo left, Wei Qingwan sat down and began to sob quietly. “Sister Ruoruo does really have great people skills. She’s connected with so many people and even has a share in Tongde Hall. No wonder she was having so much fun behind my back. Every single time, you stood by and watched my embarrassment. It’s sad to think that I have always regarded Sister Ruoruo as my own sister, but it seems in Sister Ruoruo’s heart I have never had a place.”

Wei Ruo snorted: “You are indeed very sick. Your amnesia and delusions are quite serious. If not, how could you forget so quickly all the times you schemed against me? When no one else was around, didn’t you provoke me more than once? Oh, playing innocent in front of others? Not only did you pull off your schemes, but also let others fight your battles.”

“When did I ever provoke you? You are unjustly accusing me!” Wei Qingwan bit her lower lip, her eyes bright red, giving her an innocent look.
