Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World
Chapter 267 - Chapter 267 Chapter 268 Coming to Please Intentionally

Chapter 267: Chapter 268: Coming to Please Intentionally Chapter 267: Chapter 268: Coming to Please Intentionally Feng Qi still wanted to persuade further when Pei Jingyi stood up and said, “Both Fifth and Second Brother want to snatch that female doctor, but I know I can’t compete, so I can only set my sights on Princess Ninghe. This is my only chance.”

“Then I hope the Fourth Prince’s wish comes true,” Feng Qi said without saying too much.

Pei Jingyi gazed into the distance, hoping his wish would indeed come true.

In that case, he wouldn’t have to submit to others or endure humiliation anymore.

Ever since Shao He bluntly refused him, Pei Chengye had been running to Anji Hall every day, trying to please in various ways.

But no matter how resistant she remained, and regardless of what the common people said, he still did as he pleased, paying no mind to anyone else.

Pei Chengye, frustrated and beside himself, went to drink sullenly and happened to bump into Pei Jingyi at the restaurant.

The two coincidentally made company for each other and entered a private room, where Pei Jingyi feigned casualness and asked, “Second Imperial Brother seems to be in a poor mood today?”

“In a good mood my ass, that mere female doctor dares to reject this prince again and again, as if she’s something special!”

In his anger, Pei Chengye failed to notice the expression of the person opposite him, focused only on venting his frustration.

Pei Jingyi, noting the hint of calculation in his eyes, saw a person full of fury and immediately stirred the pot, “Is Second Imperial Brother speaking of Doctor Shao? What exactly happened between you two? The Capital City is abuzz with gossip as it is.”

“An immodest woman seeking to climb up to this prince, yet still trying to put on airs–shameless!”

To save face, Pei Chengye could only say that.

How could Pei Jingyi not understand the situation? He naturally knew that both he and Pei Huaian were after Doctor Shao, and that this woman truly had some ability.

No matter which of the two she followed, she would become a stumbling block in his way. Since he couldn’t beat them, he was naturally not going to let them benefit either.

“Doctor Shao is really too much; Second Imperial Brother is after all, a noble prince of the nation. How can she be so disrespectful to you? Such a woman deserves a lesson,” Pei Jingyi said as he poured a cup of tea and passed it over, fanning the flames.

Upon hearing this, Pei Chengye’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling indeed it was time to teach this woman a lesson, lest she really thinks this prince is just a name.

“I suddenly remember, just a few days ago, I saw Doctor Shao with Emperor Wu, the two of them being quite intimate, it seemed…”

He stopped abruptly mid-sentence, hastily correcting himself, “It might have been my mistake.”

That made Pei Chengye even more furious, recalling Shao He’s attitude towards Pei Huaian and their relationship, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

If she truly couldn’t be of use to him, then she most definitely couldn’t be allowed to side with Pei Huaian.

Seeing he had achieved his aim, Pei Jingyi said no more. Sometimes, saying too much could easily arouse suspicion.

The news of Shao He being rewarded by the Emperor quickly spread, and the Shao Family naturally heard about it, eager to cozy up.

“Shao He, I admit I was wrong in the past. To make amends, I have specially bought a house for you and various dowries, so you won’t feel aggrieved no matter where you marry,” said Shao Zhengru, bringing the whole family to Anji Hall, trying to win Shao He over, hoping she would return home.

Shao He had long understood his character and paid him no heed.

Shao Mingyang, not used to being insulted, faced a person exuding arrogance and began to scold brazenly, “Not only did we come here with good intentions to take you back, but you also show such ingratitude. It’s totally unfilial. A woman like you should… be arrested.”

Seeing those icy eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller until he finally closed his mouth.

“Please clear this up, as I currently have no registered parents or husband, having died early. How can I be associated with Lord Shao?” Shao He said with a mocking smile on her lips.

“You’re clearly unfilial. What’s this about household registration? Don’t you think Dad knows who you are?”

“All you want is to get your hands on some money. Didn’t you ever think about who raised you? Now that you have made it, you want to dump the Shao Family, you ingrate!” scoffed Shao Mingyang coldly.

“If household registration can’t prove anything, what can? If these words reached the Emperor’s ears, what do you think would happen?” Shao He knew how to use her power to oppress others.

Indeed, hearing this, Shao Zhengru’s face changed color, realizing he couldn’t threaten her that way, and tried to appeal to her emotions instead, turning to sternly scold, “What nonsense are you spouting here? Hurry and apologize to your sister!”

“Apologize? And what reason do I have to apologize?” Shao Mingyang felt no remorse.

“Regardless of anything, she’s your sister. How can you be so disrespectful?” Shao Zhengru said sharply.

“Father, are you confused? I remember clearly, she refused to acknowledge having a brother. Where did this sister of mine come from?” exclaimed Shao Mingyang.

“You…”

Seeing Shao Zhengru at a loss for words, Shao Mingyang grew even more arrogant, continuing, “Besides, she’s an expert at seducing men. A woman like that will surely not have decent offspring, probably some bastard born of some rogue. I’d like to see, when this incident spreads, whether the Imperial Court officials and the common people will believe her or our Shao Family. By then, she probably won’t have any choice but to drown in a pond.”

A resounding “slap” echoed through the entire medical hall.
