The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

The words she had said were spoken righteously as she looked at Helian Yue accusingly.

“Now, since Younger Sister is unharmed, why don’t we just let it slide? In the future, if the Jia family comes and finds trouble with Younger Sister, it won’t be too late for us to take action then.”

Helian Yue harrumphed.

“That despicable person from the Jia family did not just say that she wanted to marry Elder Brother Lianqing. She had even said I’m small, that my chest isn’t as big as hers and that I’m not fit to marry Elder Brother Lianqing. The despicable person from the Fang family was even worse. She had purposely fallen into Elder Brother Lianqing’s arms. I didn’t punish them wrongly.”

She hugged Helian Xu’s arm while crying as her dirty little face seemed extremely pitiful. “Grandfather, if it wasn’t because somebody had saved me this time around, I wouldn’t have been able to ever return again.”

Seeing Helian Ying was still going to speak, Helian Xu calmly glanced past her. “Ying’er, Yue’er is your younger sister. Speaking on other people’s behalf, where does it leave your sister?”

Helian Ying felt her heart jolt as she bit on her pale lip. “Grandfather, I did not mean that. I just wanted to think about the Helian family clan’s reputation.”

“Reputation?” Helian Xu sneered. “My Helian family’s reputation was built by slowly fighting for it. I don’t need the younger generations to help me fight to obtain this bit of reputation. Guards, fire this fellow immediately. I want to find the Jia family’s little ones to settle the score. Since they have dared to attack my granddaughter, they must pay the price!”

Helian Ying saw Helian Xu’s angry expression, and she clenched her fists tightly. Her heart was throbbing in pain.

However, she also understood that no matter what she said, her grandfather would not listen to a single sentence. Therefore, she looked at Helian Yue and then turned around to leave.

This glance was so cold it was as if countless daggers were slashing across Helian Yue’s small face, making her expression darken slightly.

In the backyard.

In a room in the eastern wing, Helian Ying had just walked into the room and locked the door. With a swish, she swept all the porcelain wares on the table onto the ground. Her face was no longer meek and gentle like before. Her gaze was malevolent.

‘Based on what?

‘Just based on what it was that Grandfather pampered Helian Yue every time! This fatherless, motherless, uneducated despicable person!’

She sat down angrily and poured herself a cup of water. When she had just drunk a mouthful, her room’s door was pushed open. She stood up in a flurry and the cup in her hand also fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Her face paled even more, especially when she saw who the person at the door was. “Father…”

Outside the door, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade slowly entered. He saw the mess on the ground and frowned slightly.

“Ying’er, what are you doing?”

Helian Ying’s face paled as her voice trembled. “I…”

“Ying’er, I know that you are very dissatisfied with Yue’er, but she is still your younger sister! Don’t think that I don’t know that it was you who had gotten someone to release the news to her and lured her into Wood Spirit Mountain!”

The middle-aged man’s tone was sharp and even the way he looked at Helian Ying seemed accusatory.

Helian Ying’s heart almost stopped beating, and she even found it difficult to breathe. “Father, I… I didn’t…”

“After Yue’er left, I went to inquire about her and found the two people. They personally told me that it was you who has instructed your personal maid to seek them out.” The middle-aged man slowly approached Helian Ying and each step he took forward seemed very heavy. “Ying’er, in the past you were obviously not like this. Why have you become so malicious now?”

Helian Ying clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she actually felt like her body had lost all its strength. The corners of her lips subconsciously curled up into a bitter smile.
