The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife
chapter-680

“Qing’er, let’s go. He will be able to handle it well.” Nan Xian glanced in the direction where Jiu Ming had left.

As Jiu Ming was in love with Feng Ruqing, Nan Xian knew that Jiu Ming would be able to handle the matters in Paramount. If Jiu Ming failed, Nan Xian would settle it instead.

‘No one could remain safe and sound after hurting Qing’er!’

In Tian Shen Manor.

Out on the heavenly street was an ancient yet imposing manor—Tian Shen Manor. Different from the other forces, Tian Shen Manor was like a small realm on its own.

In other words, Tian Shen Manor was like a kingdom. There were various clans within the manor. Gu Manor was the manor master with the loftiest power not unlike the imperial court of a kingdom.

“Oh, dear! You are finally at home!” In Gu Manor, a stunning middle-aged man walked out the main hall in a spasm of rapture. He strode toward Gu Yiyi who was still walking very slowly.

As Gu Yiyi was too overweight, she was panting heavily even as she walked. Her face was covered in sweat.

“Oh dear, look at you! You have lost weight! That must be very hard for you. Oh yeah, why do you return home so soon? Did you meet Nan Xian?” Gu Shi quickly rushed over to help Gu Yiyi, his eyes filled with anxiety.

“I… I think I forgot about it.” Gu Yiyi’s face stiffened.

What had she done? She had returned home without looking for Nan Xian?

“That’s fine. You could meet him when he is back at Tian Shen Manor.” Gu Shi did not want his daughter to go through the struggles again.

“Oh yeah, where is the lady—An Cui?” Gu Shi glanced behind Gu Yiyi as he asked.

Hearing this, Gu Yiyi burned with rage. Before she could complain about An Cui, a lady in her forties rushed in from the courtyard.

“Yiyi, you are finally home! I have missed you so much. I told you before, you shouldn’t go out as it is a great challenge for you, but you had insisted on wanting to meet Nan Xian. You could just get An Cui to bring him back.”

Zheng Fenghua fell to the ground right before Gu Yiyi and reached out to hold her hands. However, Gu Yiyi shook Zheng Fenghua’s hand off, her face, cold and nonchalant.

“Brother-in-law, what has actually happened? Yiyi would never have done this before.” Zheng Fenghua’s face stiffened, she turned to look at Gu Shi.

“That’s enough! Yiyi is worn out after going out for so long. Naturally, she is not in a good mood. Stop bugging her.” Gu Shi knitted his brows together, discontentedly.

Zheng Fenghua’s face darkened but she quickly regained her composure. She turned to look at Gu Yiyi with a bright smile on her face.

“Yiyi, where is Cui’er? Why is she not back with you?”

“An Cui is such a fake! She has nearly gotten me into trouble and pushed all the responsibilities to someone else. Fortunately, I am smart and did not fall into her trap.” Gu Yiyi merely snorted.

“That’s impossible!” Zheng Fenghua said, shrilly. However, she quickly lowered her voice when she noticed that Gu Shi was staring discontentedly at her.

“Yiyi, Cui’er is so kind and gentle. She has always been treating you well. It’s impossible that she would do this. Is there any misunderstanding between you and Cui’er?” Zheng Fenghua forced a smile.

Gu Yiyi’s face darkened a few shades. She had always thought that An Cui was true to her. If not for the incident on that day, she would never have found out that An Cui hid a foul heart beneath her fair face.
