She glanced at Miao Linglong and said, “Considering Miss Miao’s filial piety, her constant concern for her mother’s condition, I agreed to make this trip. A physician cannot fear filth; I am willing to examine you below and provide a cleansing solution for your condition. However—”
At a turning point, she suddenly sneered and said, “I’m sorry, Madam Miao. Just because of your condescending reprimand towards me, I will not treat you from now on, even if you offer the entire Duke An’s Residence!”
Leaving these words behind, she turned and walked away, saying, “Lian Qiao, let’s go!”
When Liu Shimei said go, she went. Soon, they were out of the courtyard.
Miao Linglong caught up from behind, jogging and apologizing, “I’m sorry, Eldest Young Miss Liu. My mother has a quick temper; she speaks without thinking. She’s been indulged by everyone due to her poor health, which has made her temper worse. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Liu Shimei did not give any face. She stopped and faced Miao Linglong directly, saying, “I’m very sorry, I have a narrow mind. I take it to heart when someone, for no reason at all, lectures me like that.”
She sneered and continued, “I’m not virtuous, shameless, and I’ve lost my chastity before marriage… Ha, Miss Miao, perhaps you don’t understand your mother very well. Do you know what kind of person she is?”
Miao Linglong looked stunned, “What do you mean?”
Liu Shimei was really not polite at all. She glanced towards the main house, her expression full of disdain, and said to Miao Linglong, “Your mother’s illness is not an ordinary gynecological inflammation. It’s… a venereal disease! I haven’t seen the specific condition with my own eyes, so I can’t confirm if it’s syphilis or something similar, but there’s a 70 to 80 percent chance!”
Miao Linglong didn’t understand what ‘syphilis’ meant, but ‘venereal disease’… With a promiscuous cousin in the family, she knew what venereal disease was!
She saw Liu Shimei’s eyebrows twist, a chilling smile on her lips. “You, a young lady from a noble family, probably don’t know what syphilis is, do you? It’s either due to promiscuity, perhaps your father was not chaste and transmitted the disease from elsewhere, or she herself engaged in affairs with infected men…”
It was too blunt; Miao Linglong turned pale.
Promiscuity or transmitted from Duke An’s liaisons elsewhere, or perhaps Madam Miao herself was involved in this mess!
Liu Shimei sighed and said, “Miss Miao, these diseases don’t mean much to me; they can be treated! But… your mother having this disease and using this attitude to insult me, I’m truly sorry. Before insulting someone’s virtue, shouldn’t you first look in the mirror?”
Her eyes were icy. “I, Liu Shimei, am a doctor; I don’t discriminate between different situations. But I cannot accept being looked down upon by a sick person who dares to classify me. That’s really unacceptable!”
Regret clouded her face. “I wonder… how many wives and concubines does Duke An have? How many women has he been through…? These people, it’s a complicated web of relationships. Venereal diseases spread through intercourse; one infected, all infected!”
Why the regret?
Naturally, the regret stemmed from the fact that she could have made a fortune, but she did not want to pursue it with this attitude.
“Lian Qiao, let’s go!”
Liu Shimei turned around and saw her own dog standing in the corridor, listening to their conversation with a blank expression.
Seeing her turn, he asked, “Wife, what did you just say?”
His eyes were slightly cold, as if a dog had stared at an enemy who stole his meat bone!
Without waiting for Liu Shimei’s response, he turned to Miao Linglong and asked, “Miao Longzhi, did your mother insult Wife?”
His voice was gentle but carried an undeniable sense of menace!
