Chapter 415: A Slap in the Face

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Wenxiu recalled the past and the humiliating words w.a.n.g Siman had said to him, Wenxiu, why dont you take a good, long look at yourself? No matter how hard you work with your familys background, its useless. Can you guys compete with wealthy and prominent families?

You must know your place and stop thinking that not canceling the engagement will work. Why dont you look at where your family is? Your reputation is terrible, and youre poor.

I told you I wanted that hairpin, but you couldnt afford it. What about my betrothal money? Can your family afford it?

These words filled Su Wenxius mind, one at a time, causing his eyes to turn red with anger. He was a man of dignity, but every word w.a.n.g Siman said was a ma.s.sive blow to him.

He had been busy every day under the care of his family and had forgotten about this. However, w.a.n.g Simans appearance reminded him of what she had said.

Su Wenxiu said, I dont want to be a.s.sociated with you. So, can you not be so narcissistic?

He had gone to the capital and experienced many terrible things on his journey, so he was no longer the young man who only blushed in anger whenever someone humiliated him. Instead, he would retaliate.

w.a.n.g Siman looked at Su Wenxiu in disbelief, H-How dare you speak to me like that?! Do you think Ill believe you didnt come here just to see me? Were in Hundred Herbs Hospital, so how can you enter such a highly regarded place like this?

You cant even afford to pay for a consultation, let alone get medicine. You came here because you knew I was here. Ive already told you our engagement is over.

Im the wife to the High Dukes eldest young master now. If you know whats good for you, youd better leave quickly, w.a.n.g Siman was just short of saying, get lost.

However, she still had some concerns. She feared Su Wenxiu would fight with her till the end. If that were the case, he would inadvertently expose her past. She did not want the Duke to know she had been engaged to someone else before, as it would be terrible for her reputation.

The High Dukes public houses wealth isnt something a country b.u.mpkin like Wenxiu could compare to. w.a.n.g Siman looked at Su Wenxiu with disgust.

Su Wenxiu sneered. Thats why you can continue being the young madam in the public house. I didnt come to Hundred Herbs Hospital for you. Stop being so arrogant and delusional.

Su Wenxiu wanted to scold w.a.n.g Siman, but he was well-mannered and held back. Although the dog bit me, I dont intend on biting back because Im human.

His words were harsh, but he was not scolding the young madam. Still, his words had a more stimulating effect.

Y-You w.a.n.g Simans lips trembled in anger, and she was speechless.

Since when did Wenxiu have such a sharp tongue?! He even called me a dog!

She was already fuming when Su Wenxian added, No, I cant compare a dog to you since itll humiliate the dog.

Su Wenxiu! w.a.n.g Simans eyes widened in anger as she yelled at him.

The people in the queue looked over when they heard the commotion. They all looked at w.a.n.g Siman angrily.

Where did this lady come from? She put on airs and used her status to cut the queue when she arrived. Shes also rude to Second Young Master Su!

The people visiting Hundred Herbs Hospital respectfully addressed Su Wenxiu as Second Young Master Su.

Everyone who comes to Hundred Herbs Hospital has to line up, Su Wenxiu said coldly, Maam, please dont cut in line. Dont disturb our doctors and patients.

w.a.n.g Simans lips trembled as she tried to say something.

Just then, Doctor Wu came out. He looked at Su Wenxiu excitedly and said, Wenxiu, theres a medical case and a prescription here that I need help understanding. Please explain it to me.

This book of yours. Everything youve written here is amazing! Wenxiu, your medical skills will far surpa.s.s mine soon. Ill have to ask you for more advice then.

Doctor Wu spoke from the bottom of his heart and was clueless about the little dispute that had just happened. He was about to leave with Su Wenxiu when he saw w.a.n.g Siman.

Then Doctor Wu noticed everyones expressions as they stood in line and asked w.a.n.g Siman, Did you cut the queue? We dont allow people to cut in unless theres a life-threatening situation. Please consult elsewhere if you insist on cutting the queue.

His tone did not show an ounce of politeness as he spoke. He hated those who relied on status to disregard the rules and bully ordinary people.

Doctor Wu looked at everyone, then at the young madams attire and the servant girls overbearing posture. Then he better understood what was happening.

In the past, people like this had cut the queue, but Hundred Herbs Hospital did not like this.

w.a.n.g Simans eyes were about to pop out of her head. She knew of Doctor Wu from Hundred Herbs Hospital.

Why would Doctor Wu discuss the prescription of an illness with a country b.u.mpkin like Wenxiu? How could Doctor Wu be so respectful to Wenxiu but not

Could Wenxiu be giving medical services at Hundred Herbs Hospital? No, no, he was not wearing a doctors uniform. However, the people here are very respectful toward Wenxiu.

w.a.n.g Siman thought about what she had said before and felt like she had gotten slapped in the face.

In addition, Doctor Wus words just now were merciless. w.a.n.g Simans face was red and blue as people pointed at her.

w.a.n.g Simans servant girl retorted, My young madam is the High Dukes young mistress. How dare you disrespect her in a run-down place like this?!

w.a.n.g Siman should have scolded her servant, but she did not. She kept quiet whenever this happened, causing her servants to be rude and unruly.

Doctor Wu frowned immediately. Oh, is that so? Tell me which High Dukes public house it is so I can ask the Wu family to pay a visit. Lets see if the High Duke was the one who taught his young mistress and servants to behave so atrociously.

w.a.n.g Siman and the servants faces paled when they heard that, especially w.a.n.g Siman. She knew Hundred Herbs Hospital had influential backing, and so did the capital.

If the people from the High Dukes public house discover what Ive done No, no! Her face flushed.

Yeah! We dont know if theyre from the High Dukes public house or just foxes exploiting a tigers might!

These kinds of people only know how to bully others!

Why does she look so familiar? Isnt she from our town?

w.a.n.g Simans face turned white as snow when she saw everyone glaring and pointing at her angrily.

She glared back at Su Wenxiu, then quickly left with her servant girl in tow.

Su Wenxiu felt a sense of relief as he looked at w.a.n.g Simans dismal appearance. Soon after, he and Doctor Wu went back inside to discuss their medical skills.

Although this was a small interlude, Su Wenxiu understood he had to work harder. He could only avoid humiliation and disrespect by working hard enough to become stronger..
