I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 272
272 Trouble
At this moment, even if County Governor Tang wanted to protect them, with Lu Ze watching from the side, he really couldn’t say a word! He could only watch as the group of troublemakers was tied up by the black-clothed guards who rushed in from outside. They were gagged and escorted out.
“My daughter doesn’t know anything!”
Just as this group of people was being pushed and escorted to the Imperial City’s government office, a woman in a short jacket suddenly rushed out of the crowd. When she saw the pink-robed girl tied up, she immediately felt as if the world was ending. She wailed as she tried to pounce on her, but the black-robed guards beside her were not to be trifled with. They blocked her from the escort team with the hilt of their sabers.
The woman was so anxious that she stomped her feet. Seeing her daughter struggling as she was dragged away, she couldn’t care less about anything else and rushed into the courtyard again. She went in front of Doctor Luo and said, “Brother Luo, please save her. How could Qiao Niang be taken away?!
!!
You can’t just watch without doing anything!
Back then, her father and you were sworn brothers. How could you watch her be taken away?!”
She cried miserably without caring that there were others staring at her. She sat up and kept slapping her thigh as she cried and scolded, “Back then, you said that you wanted someone to help, so Qiao Niang came over without hesitation!
Later on, when she didn’t manage to do anything for the entire day, you asked her to go back, so she went back!
She’s such an obedient child. Why did you let her get taken her away?!”
“Do you know what she did?” Doctor Luo staggered two steps back before looking down at Madam Du, who was crying on the ground. He repeated what had just happened to the woman in front of him with a pained expression before saying, “Don’t you know about all of this?”
“How is this possible?! When Qiao Niang left home, she only said that she was going to her sister’s house to play! My god, her sister-in-law has always been at home. How could she have any contact with outsiders?!” When the woman heard Doctor Luo’s words, her mouth dropped agape in shock and screamed, “This is clearly a trap. Yes, someone must have framed her!
“Brother Luo, you can’t just watch as Qiao Niang is captured! You can’t abandon her!”
The blind woman panicked and crawled to Doctor Luo’s feet. Then, she tugged at his pants as she cried.
“Don’t worry. After the Imperial City’s government office finishes questioning her, if she was really just deceived, they definitely won’t make things difficult for her.” Doctor Luo looked down at the woman. Although he hated her child for being insensible, he really couldn’t ignore her when he thought of their past relationship, so he was in a difficult position.
“What? You want to bring her into the Imperial City’s government office?! How can a little girl like her live her life in the future?!”
It would have been better if Doctor Luo hadn’t said anything. As soon as he said this, Madam Du screamed, like she had gone crazy. She got up from the ground and tore at Doctor Luo’s clothes. “How can you be so ruthless?!
When my husband was alive, he helped you a lot!
Now, you actually turned your back on us so viciously! How can you just watch without doing anything?!”
Lin Suisui watched the two people fighting, but didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned to look at Lu Ze and said in a low voice, “Let’s go back.”
“Yes.” Lin Suisui’s decision was beyond Lu Ze’s expectations. However, since she had requested it, Lu Ze didn’t ask about anything. He protected her as they left the noisy courtyard together. They got into the carriage to rush home.
“I thought you would help Doctor Luo out.” After getting into the carriage, Lu Ze didn’t hide his curiosity. As he tucked Lin Suisui’s hand into his arms to warm her up, he asked this question.
“How should I save her? That woman isn’t innocent! If I speak up for her, how would I deal with the mess? Should I just let her go?!
If she let Qiao Niang go, what would those people who were arrested and interrogated say?!
They could also claim that they were deceived and didn’t know how serious this matter was!”
Lin Suisui leaned against Lu Ze’s chest as she listened to his steady heartbeat. At this moment, she was in a much better mood. She replied in a low voice, “Besides, this matter is not something I can interfere in!
Doctor Luo and that woman clearly knew each other!
Moreover, I can tell that Doctor Luo is a kind and righteous person! However, things have always been difficult for good people in this world!
He clearly had good intentions and wanted to give Qiao Niang and the other military families, who had lost their father and brothers, some help! However, these people might not appreciate his painstaking efforts.
I’ve already interfered once by chasing Qiao Niang and the others away!
It’s not impossible for me to interfere this time, but I can’t always be the one to interfere in such disputes in the future, right?!
The medical center has yet to open! If the medical center opens in the future, there will probably be more trouble! If Doctor Luo still doesn’t learn his lesson, what would happen in the future?!
He can’t just nod whenever someone comes to ask for help!
Take this woman for example. Doctor Luo was clearly the one who kindly paid them to work, but look at them. Were they grateful at all?!
I spent money to hire people to help with work, not to hire people to serve!”
At this point, Lin Suisui felt a little aggrieved. She sat up straight and turned to look at Lu Ze as she complained, “I asked them to boil medicine, but they burned it!
If the medicine was ruined, they should have just told me!
However, they didn’t. They wanted to add water and boil it again to make up the numbers! When Yuan Niang found out, they didn’t repent and even said that she did this to avoid wasting herbs!
I was really enraged when I heard that!”
“So, you want to use this matter to see if Doctor Luo is suitable to be the person in charge of the medical center?” At this point, Lu Ze understood Lin Suisui’s intentions. He smiled and suggested, “I think it’s best to find another shopkeeper who’s better at managing your medical center!
Even if Doctor Luo could handle this trouble, he had been in the army for many years and had been involved with many military families over the years!
“It’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be other military families causing trouble! Why make things difficult for him?”
