Chapter 55: Face-to-face confrontation (1)

Yun Shi was now trying very hard to restrain her anger.

"I didn't make any trouble, I went to ask Mo mo Li to find a doctor for second brother. And I didn't hurt anyone." Wei Ruo replied with a calm voice, neither showing disrespect nor humbleness.

Mo mo Li quickly explained: "Madam, it’s not that I don't want to invite a doctor for the second young master, it's just that, I don't think the second young master's illness is serious, so I will invite the doctor tomorrow.”

“I have already told the second young master's servant, and I explained clearly to the eldest young lady when she came to ask. But I don't know why the eldest young lady still made a fuss about it, and even pushed down the second young lady, causing her to be injured."

"You said that the second brother's illness is not serious? And I pushed Wei Qingwan?" Wei Ruo's gaze glanced coldly at Mo mo Li.

“Everyone has seen the second young master during the day, and he was fine at that time. All the servants can testify to that!” Mo mo Li knelt on the ground to defend herself.

“Oh, it's really funny. Who told you that people who are good during the day don't necessarily get worse at night? Haven't you heard that sickness comes like a landslide*? If you can easily tell if a person is seriously ill or not, why don't you become a doctor?”

*sickness comes like a landslide: when a person gets sick, it's as fast and breathless as a landslide, while trying to recover is as slow and cautious as pulling threads from a cocoon.

“The eldest young lady believes that this old servant intentionally neglected the condition of the second young master, but why should this old servant neglect the condition of the second young master?” Mo mo Li asked Wei Ruo.

"You think that because the second young master is not in favor, you can do this to him!" If it had been Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin, she would not dare to do so!

"What are you talking about, Miss? How is the second young master not favored? Madam is kind and generous, and treats the children of her family equally. Whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, young or old, she loves them all! How dare we as servants neglect her?" Mo mo Li said in a hurry.

Mo mo Li's words made Yun Shi's already unsightly expression become even worse.

Indeed, she didn't want to see Wei Jinyi, but he still got this necessity fulfilled, he didn't lack food or clothing! Wei Ruo's "not favored" words hit her in the face!

Seeing that Yun Shi's face became more gloomy, Mo mo Li knew that her words had worked.

Then Mo mo Li continued with a sad face: "Old servant did decide to call the doctor tomorrow based on the fact that the young master was not seriously ill! If the eldest young lady is unhappy with this old slave’s judgment and methods, you can come at me.

Why did you harm the second young lady? She didn't do anything and was inexplicably pushed to the ground by you, bleeding a lot......"

Mo mo Li began to wipe her tears, "My poor second young lady, I wouldn't regret dying if the eldest young lady killed me today. But the second young lady, who is at the same age as flower*, has suffered so much...... what will happen if she falls ill......"

*at the same age as a flower: girls aged 16 to 19 are just budding and slowly blooming, at the age of having captivating beauty and tenderness.

Mo mo Li began to change the subject, and her words implied that Wei Ruo was intentionally harming Wei Qingwan.

Hearing this, Yun Shi was furious and slammed hard on the tea table with her right hand. "Ruo’er, you're going too far! You made a scene in Wangmei Garden without understanding the context of the matter, and even pushed Wanwan to the ground, causing Wanwan to be injured! What did Wanwan do that was not to your liking? Are you going to treat her like this?”
