Chapter 425: Chapter 427 She is My Patient
Shao He pulled Pei Huaian to sit down, where the storyteller in front was so animated, making Shao He and Pei Huaian seem somewhat out of place.
"Today, we are going to talk about the ruthless bandits on Daliang Mountain five years ago, whose leader was incredibly brazen,"
said the storyteller, putting down the folding fan in his hand, pouring a cup of tea, and continued slowly: "Those beasts, to save their own skins, would even sell out their own mothers; they completely lost their human decency,"
"They killed, set fires, even sparing not the young children, and the young and beautiful women, they were even more brutally taken to the mountains and tortured to death."
The old man on the stage spewed saliva as he spoke with passion and animation, as if he had witnessed the scene himself, stirring hatred in the hearts of the people listening below, a hatred that penetrated to the bone for the bandits.
Listening to the old man’s narrative, Shao He also became angry, then looked towards the person next to her with calm composure, her eyes flashing a hint of surprise.
"Aren’t you angry?"
Before Pei Huaian could reply, they heard the storyteller continue, "Later on, The Emperor finally sent troops to eradicate those bandits. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader took the chance to slip away, and for many years, no one has known his whereabouts."
"It is said that he has a tiger tattoo on his chest, and to this day, no one knows if he is dead or alive."
Shao He leaned in and asked him, "The one who wiped out the bandits wasn’t you, was it?"
Pei Huaian gently scraped her nose with his hand, "Smart."
"Let’s go." Pei Huaian pulled Shao He to leave.
The two of them sat down in front of a street food stall, eating delicious wontons, when suddenly an argument erupted at the next table.
The quarrel gradually escalated into a fight.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, there were exclamations.
"Thump!"
Two muffled sounds followed.
Shao He only felt herself crashing into someone, and then, a dizzying pain flooded her head.
"Ugh..."
She couldn’t help but groan and slowly opened her eyes, only to see a handsome face.
"Are you alright?"
The man’s deep and pleasant voice came from beside her ear, laced with a hint of teasing.
"Yes."
Shao He replied, massaging her sore shoulders and back.
Her mask had slid off her face, and upon seeing her features clearly, the man grasped her hand in surprise, "It’s you, Doctor Shao!"
Shao He then saw the man clearly, he seemed much healthier than a few days ago!
"It’s me, what’s the matter, is there a problem?"
Xiao Jiangheng shook his head with a smile, "No problem at all, no problem!"
He was about to reach out to help her, but his hand was preempted by another.
"Cough cough,"
Xiao Jiangheng feigned a cough to disguise his excitement.
"This is..."
"Fiancé."
Shao He: ...
"Is there a problem?" Pei Huaian said calmly, nodding and walking out while embracing Shao He.
Xiao Jiangheng quickly followed, "Miss Shao, wait a moment."
Pei Huaian stopped, turned his head and looked coldly at him, his eyes filled with warning: "Is there something else?"
"Fifth Prince, may I have a few words alone with Doctor Shao?"
Although his tone was polite, the challenge in his eyes was not hidden.
Pei Huaian frowned at him, seemingly contemplating something, and after a long time, he relented, "Alright."
Xiao Jiangheng’s lips curved slightly as he watched him walk off into the distance, then he composed himself and looked at Shao He.
"Your recent affairs have been boiling over. Being with the Fifth Prince is fraught with danger. If you choose to back out now, you might still have a chance to escape."
"Back out?" Shao He raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, I can help you," Xiao Jiangheng affirmed.
"Thank you, but for the moment I don’t need it, and I think things are fine as they are," Shao He shrugged, clearly unbothered by his words.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiangheng couldn’t help but sigh and advise, "You might want to reconsider. This situation is having a bad impact on you, and you’re still young. If you end up ruined like this, wouldn’t that be a pity."
"Thanks for the concern, but I’ve made up my mind," Shao He stood up, bowed to him in farewell, and turned to leave.
Watching her figure gradually disappearing out of sight, Xiao Jiangheng sighed deeply, a sense of reluctance flickering in his heart.
Why must you choose him, when you could have had a better life?
"My lord, shall we go?"
Xiao Jiangheng turned and walked down another path.
Pei Huaian looked on, seemingly doing nothing, but his gaze never left Shao He.
The reason he had chosen to leave just now was because he suddenly remembered who that person was; if he wasn’t mistaken, that should be the son of the Prime Minister, Xiao Jiangheng.
It was said he was frail and sickly, that the Prime Minister has spent a fortune seeking countless renowned doctors for his son, and had ultimately sent him to recuperate on a mountain.
Unexpectedly, he had met Shao He and their relationship seemed quite extraordinary.
"Do you know him?" Shao He asked with a very certain tone.
"The son of Prime Minister Xiao, Xiao Jiangheng, how did you two meet?"
Shao He hadn’t expected his identity to be the son of the Prime Minister; no wonder he could get hold of so many rare treasures.
"She is my patient."
Shao He briefly described how they met, without any omissions, even mentioning the items Xiao Jiangheng had given her.
