Chapter 421: Does This Count as Sexual Assault

Leprosy, she could cure it. The patient in front of them was not a concern, but if it spread from one to another, or even to ten, that would be terrifying.
To be fair, infectious diseases had always been a rather dreadful presence, especially in ancient times when medical methods were not well-developed.
Not to mention how dirty and diseased the patient looked; just the fact that they had leprosy and many pus-filled sores made someone as proud and noble as Liu Shimei personally step forward. This truly confirmed what she had declared earlier: no barriers, no class distinctions, in the face of life, death, and illness, everyone was equal!
“Eldest Miss Liu isn’t afraid of getting infected herself?” People started whispering.
Someone said, “Eldest Miss Liu’s medical skills are so miraculous!”
And someone else added, “Why are you still calling her Eldest Miss Liu? She’s a doctor now! Practicing medicine and saving lives. We should call her Doctor Liu!”
Hearing the praise for Liu Shimei, Yu Wanqing’s face turned as ugly as if she had fallen into a cesspool. She sneered, “Have you all been fooled by Liu Shimei? Someone like her, who doesn’t work hard and doesn’t understand anything, talking about treating people! In my opinion, she’s just putting on a show for all of you! Later, this so-called patient will definitely get better! It will give you the illusion that Liu Shimei’s medical skills are so brilliant. In reality, it’s easy to pay someone a little money to act it out!”
She kept on talking incessantly, her voice high-pitched. When these words came out, the crowd fell into silence.
Those with some sense could see from Liu Shimei’s calm and composed needling that it was not an act. Those without much sense began to doubt.
Someone whispered, “She hired an actor to fool us, it’s plausible.”
Seeing this, Huangfu Lingyao could not tolerate it any longer!
With a swift movement, he delivered a resounding slap across Yu Wanqing’s face. “It’s you again! We haven’t settled the score from the last time you bullied Wife!”
Smack!
Yu Wanqing had been looking for an opportunity to confront Liu Shimei and hadn’t noticed when the idiotic Second Prince had approached from behind her.
Suddenly slapped on the cheek, she swayed several times, thankful that Xiang Er was there to steady her.
She fumed, “Huangfu Lingyao, how dare you hit me!”
This idiot, he never distinguished between men and women when it came to hitting people. He had no shame!
Although Huangfu Lingyao’s demeanor was as childish as a child throwing a tantrum, he confidently declared, “So what if I hit you? Wife has exceptional medical skills! Even if I beat you half to death, she can heal you. Do you want to try it yourself?”
As he spoke, he suddenly realized the viability of this method and began clapping his own hands, “Right, right! How could I forget such a great idea? You suspected that this person was sent by Wife, right? Since you have a grudge against her, why don’t you try and see for yourself? I guarantee she’s not a fake!”
He nodded solemnly, “I’m really too clever. How did I come up with such a brilliant plan? Let’s do it this way!”
He reached out to grab Yu Wanqing.
At first, Yu Wanqing was quite haughty, but when she saw his hand approaching, she remembered the fear of being nearly beaten to death last time!
She stepped back repeatedly, screaming, “You fool, don’t touch me, or I’ll cry sexual assault!”
Huangfu Lingyao halted his steps.
Yu Wanqing thought her threat was effective and added, “If you dare to touch me, I will go to the Emperor and tell him that you publicly molested me!”
But she had seriously underestimated the Silly Second Prince’s stubbornness. Without a second thought, Huangfu Lingyao delivered a swift kick!
He even added a voiceover, “So many people are watching. Does this count as molesting? Go ahead, report it! Report it!”
He was delighted, dancing around as if he had just accomplished something earth – shattering.
In the end, he even smugly twisted his hips, put his hands by his ears to make pig ears, wiggled them, and then made a funny face at Yu Wanqing, who had been kicked to the ground!
Such a tall and imposing adult man acting like this was simply an eyesore!
