The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

She smiled so widely as soon as Feng Ruqing accepted the apple. So much so that she did not even realize that she was acting like a little servant.

The corners of the nearby Gu Shi’s eyebrows twitched as he felt a twinge of jealousy inside his heart.

His daughter had never handed him any fruit before, but now she was doing it for a girl.

He would have cried on the spot if they were not at an event.

“Xiao Li.”

Qin Fei’er looked at Qin Xiaoyue in agony.

In her weak and delicate state, she turned around and walked slowly, seemingly like she could be blown away by the wind anytime.

“Xiao Li, she’s my aunt. I really disapprove of her action, but I can’t leave her alone. I beg you… would you please intercede for her?”

She had already noticed that Gu Yiyi was treating Feng Ruqing differently, just now. Also, Feng Ruqing was in a good relationship with Luo Li. So, if Luo Li interceded with Feng Ruqing, perhaps… perhaps this matter would be settled.

She did not like this aunt, but she could not do anything as after all, she was still her aunt.

Her father did not care about her aunt, but being her niece, she just could not wash her hands off of this.

Luo Li who was standing next to Old Lady Luo obediently and said, “Lady Qin, have you pled for the wrong person?”

Qin Fei’er froze.

That was the first time Li’er was being so indifferent to her…

Was Li’er really mad?

“Li’er, you’re the only one who is capable of helping my aunt now. I know that my aunt shouldn’t have taken your father away. But please help her, as long as you help her, she promises that she will never bother your father anymore.”

With sympathy filling Qin Fei’er’s eyes, she extended her hand as she wanted to grab Luo Li’s hand.

However, Luo Li shrank away and avoided her hand.

Qin Fei’er hand froze midair, her face paled and her body trembled even more.

Perhaps what Luo Li had done had really hurt her. She slowly turned around and looked at Luo Fei. “Master Luo, my aunt has been with you and has suffered a lot all these years. Can’t you help her a little?

“Li’er has always been listening to your advice. Even though my aunt has done something wrong, still, she’s a woman.”

The whole chief manor was deadly silent after she was done talking in the trembling and aggrieved tone.

Everyone was treating Qin Xiaoyue with disdain now. However, all they did was to praise Luo Li after they saw what Qin Fei’er had done.

“Within the Qin family, other than Qin Xiaoyue, this scum, the rest are fine.”

“Indeed, Qin Li, as the head of the family, he’s righteous as he places justice above everything, including his loyalty to his family. Qin Fei’er is only a girl, so it’s natural for her to be soft in her character. Even if everyone has given up on Qin Xiaoyue, she still wants to speak for her…”

In fact, everyone could not help but glance at Qin Chen as they were talking.

As for the Qin family’s scum, besides Qin Xiaoyue… there was still a guy like him in there.

An adopted son who relied on the Qin family and lived a luxurious life. He would rather help others to bully his gentle and kind sister and not to pay single respect to his foster parents.

Of course, nobody dared to point that out loud.

Or else, they would end up like the middle-aged man who was thrown out just now.

Nobody would ever dare to provoke Feng Ruqing in front of Gu Yiyi.

***

Luo Fei slowly closed his eyes as he saw Qin Fei’er’s imploring eyes and then Qin Xiaoyue’s pale face.

Luo Li was still standing next to the old lady without saying anything. The old lady did not interrupt as well as she seemed to be curious to find out if he still wanted to stick up for her.

Luo Fei slowly opened his eyes after a while.

He did not look as troubled as he was at the beginning since he had regained his composure.
