Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World
Chapter 269 - Chapter 269 Chapter 270 Ready to Take Action

Chapter 269: Chapter 270 Ready to Take Action Chapter 269: Chapter 270 Ready to Take Action Ah Mo listened to his master’s series of arrangements, feeling somewhat surprised, and couldn’t help but ask again, “Master, are you planning to take action now?”

But their power was not yet strong enough, and with the Empress, the Second Prince, and the Fourth Prince watching like tigers, it was somewhat dangerous to start taking action at this time.

He knew his master did this to protect Doctor Shao and also to protect the child, but being eager for quick success would only backfire.

“First, we weaken the Empress’s maternal family, the Zheng Family. We need to proceed steadily, step by step.” Pei Huaian knew the timing was not yet ripe, but he could no longer afford to wait.

Ah Mo bowed his head in agreement.

Three days later, Shao Zhengru really did bring Wei Wan to Anji Hall, and on seeing his frail mother, his heart ached.

He raised his hand to feel her pulse, then peered into her eyes and asked a few questions, realizing his mother had dementia.

“Shao He, your mother is alright, isn’t she?” Mei Ying asked cautiously.

Her gaze shifted slightly, seemingly afraid that Shao He might discover something?

Shao He looked up at her, noticing that his mother’s dementia showed no signs of medication. The only possibility was that she had been beaten senseless.

Shao He approached Wei Wan, raising his hand to gently press on the top of her head. This action immediately triggered a violent reaction from Mei Ying, and Shao Zhengru even grabbed her wrist, saying, “Don’t…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Your mother, she…”

“Why does my mother have scars on her head? I just felt a bump on her head, and it must have been caused recently. It is for this reason that my mother has developed dementia!”

Shao He’s sharp eyes turned to Shao Zhengru, guessing that he must know something, which was why he reacted so strongly.

Shao Zhengru hadn’t expected it to be discovered and hurriedly began to explain, “A few days ago, your mother accidentally fell, which is why she ended up like this.”

“Yes, she tripped over herself when she went out and fell on the steps.” Mei Ying hastily chimed in.

Shao He observed coldly as the two of them made excuses, “If it were really a fall, it wouldn’t look like this. It’s clear she’s been bashed.”

“Impossible, how can this be?” Mei Ying exclaimed defensively.

Shao He promptly took out his needle kit, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into his mother’s scalp. After a series of acupuncture treatments,

Wei Wan’s mental state improved slightly, but she was still dazed, showing no response.

Shao Zhengru breathed a sigh of relief and seized the moment to say, “I heard that you have all sorts of strange and fascinating equipment here; surely those devices can treat your mother’s illness?”

“What are those devices like? Can you take Father to see them?”

Shao He grew cautious. Why had Shao Zhengru suddenly become so interested in the devices? This was no ordinary matter.

“The operating room cannot allow people to enter freely.”

Mei Ying also took the opportunity to cozy up, “I never imagined that although sister’s brain isn’t functioning well, she gave birth to such a clever daughter. Truly enviable.”

“Concubine Mei, please mind your manners. Even if my mother has dementia, she is still the Lady of the Shao Family; this status has not changed. Please show some respect to my mother, or else…”

Shao He didn’t finish his sentence, but the coldness and distance in his eyes made Mei Ying somewhat afraid.

“I merely misspoke in a momentary lapse, so don’t take it to heart.” Mei Ying felt extremely annoyed inside; she hated when someone used her status against her.

But she couldn’t afford to offend this woman in front of her, so she had to suppress her discontent and squeeze out a smile in explanation.

Shao He was unimpressed by her words, and his tone was very cold, “Just remember your status is merely that of a concubine. You might not need to perform grand courtesies when you see my mother, but at the very least, call her ‘Madam.'”

“Yes, I understand.” Mei Ying clenched the fabric of her dress tightly with the hand at her side, her face flushing red.

It was her first time feeling so humiliated in front of others.

“Daughter, seeing your mother like this, wouldn’t it be better for you to return to the Shao Residence to live? That way, you could also take care of your mother. I’ve already had someone clean out your room.” Shao Zhengru now just wanted to quickly move this money tree back home.

Shao He knew what he was plotting and couldn’t possibly return to the Shao Residence, but her mother’s condition indeed worried her; she knew not how they might mistreat her if she returned.

After much thought, she decided to keep her mother here, but this was not going to be easy. As soon as she voiced this, Shao Zhengru denied it.

“No, she is the Lady of the Shao Family; if she falls into disrepute outside, who knows what people might say.”

“Father merely needs to tell others that mother is here receiving treatment, and no one will gossip.” Shao He was very firm in her stance.

“If you are so concerned about your mother, why not return to the Shao Residence to live? That’s your home as well!” Shao Zhengru urged again.

Shao He spoke righteously, “The best choice is for Mother to stay here. You can consider this, and remember, you can visit Mother at any time.”

As Shao Zhengru was about to refuse, Mei Ying quickly pulled him aside, whispering, “If she stays, wouldn’t we have the perfect excuse to come here and visit?”

“Do you mean…”

Shao Zhengru’s eyebrows raised slightly, and they exchanged a look, smiling conspiratorially, their eyes full of scheming.
