The matter in the backyard naturally reached Steward Lin.
Steward Lin was a sensible person. Liu Shimci was a young lady who was injured. No matter how he looked at it, she looked pitiful. He coldly questioned what had happened.
Liu Shimei naturally did not give Zhang Two and Zhao Four a chance to speak. She blurted out the main point, “Zhang Two and Zhao Four are talking behind my back, saying that I, Zhi Liu, was able to become an apprentice because I climbed into your bed, and that I also seduced Doctor Du.”
Du Gong’s subordinates were in trouble, so Du Gong was naturally present.
It was Jin Tao who called him over. She was so proud that she thought that Liu Shimei had caused trouble and Du Gong would definitely punish her!
Unexpectedly, Liu Shimei’s next sentence was, “Zhang Two also said that Sister Jin Tao has an affair with Doctor Du!”
The people she had selected were all interested parties. If she dragged them all down, it would implicate them, and they will all share this burden.
…..
Jin Tao’s face instantly turned red. She was so angry that she rushed towards Zhang Two and raised her hand to slap him. “Why is your mouth so cheap?! I’m a girl. If you spout nonsense like this, how am I supposed to live?!”
Liu Shimei silently watched the development of the situation. From the flames of war that she had started, they did not pay much attention to her now.
Didn’t Jin Tao really want to watch a good show? Now, everyone went on stage to perform together!
She did not take the initiative to find trouble with others, but if she could take care of a few of them, she would not let go of such a good opportunity.
“Alright, stop!” Steward Lin was also fuming with anger.
Of course, since things had already reached this stage, the main point was no longer Liu Shimei causing trouble!
“Zhang Two, tell me clearly, did you say that kind of thing?!” Steward Lin was able to manage such a large medical center, so it was not without dignity. If word got out that he knew that a steward had touched a female apprentice under the Zhang Medicine Hall, would he still be able to survive in the future?
Zhang Two was just a handyman. Steward Lin was so fierce, and even though Du Gong did not say anything, his gaze was extremely gloomy. How could he dare to lie and deny it?
This matter was decided, and Zhang Two and Zhao Four were fired.
It had nothing to do with Liu Shimei, but she had hit someone after all. Other than paying for the broken things, her salary would also be deducted.
Was Liu Shimei someone who lacked money now?
She was rich now, so she did not care about her salary being deducted.
Knowing that she was injured, Du Gong asked, “Why don’t you ask Jin Tao to apply some medicine on you?”
“It’s fine. I haven’t finished the work in the backyard yet. I’ll go and do it first.” Liu Shimei did not dare to trouble Jin Tao to help her apply the medicine. It was already good enough that she did not poison her!
Du Gong was very easy to talk to. “Go back first and recuperate today.”
“Thank you, Doctor Du. I’ll go back first.” Liu Shimei agreed.
On the surface, she looked calm and collected, but there was a knot in her heart!
Was Du Gong really like what Zhang Two said?
Did Jin Tao really have an affair with Du Gong?
These things seemed to have nothing to do with her, but they were also very related!
If all of this was true, then Du Gong was so polite to her and even looked very protective of her. Was it really not because he had ill intentions?
Du Gong appeared to have no problems, but some people might look dignified and gentlemanly, but it was hard to say if they were scum in their bones!
Even if Du Gong did not have any bad intentions towards her, his politeness towards her made Jin Tao hate her even more.
She had to be on guard!
After returning to the Liang Residence in advance, Liu Shimei did not dare to let the entire Liang family find out that she was injured. She secretly returned to the house and asked Mo’er to apply medicine for her.
“I say, Miss! How can you fight every now and then?!”
Before Liu Shimei could say anything to Mo’er’s complaint, an anxious voice came from outside the door.. “Wife, are you injured again?”
