This rumor spread throughout the mansion and eventually reached Su Dingheng’s ears in the evening.

Su Dingheng was having his meal in the house with the two top courtesans. When he heard the news, the two top courtesans started to talk again. Su Dingheng immediately waved his hand and instructed the steward to go to Su Yurou’s room and sell all the valuable jewelry and items in exchange for silver.

As the steward took items from Su Yurou’s quarters, Su Yurou, in a disheveled state, chased after him, exclaiming, “Those are my jewelry! My golden hairpin! You can’t take them away! My luminous pearl… Give it back to me! Give it back to me!”

Su Yurou couldn’t catch up with the steward and ended up falling into the mud, consuming a mouthful of mud and moss. She was already seriously injured, and her mental state was greatly affected. She collapsed and fainted. Doctor Liu Shulan gave her medicine, but she did not wake up for two days.

She wanted to seek Su Dingheng’s sympathy for her condition, but the two courtesans had received the jewelry Su Yingxue had given them. This left Su Dingheng in a daze, unable to pay any attention to Liu Shulan.

Liu Shulan stood outside the courtyard, listening to the lascivious sounds coming from Su Dingheng and the two women, grinding her teeth in frustration.

She had never felt such intense hatred for someone, nor had she ever encountered such a formidable adversary.

Sitting by Su Yurou’s bedside, Liu Shulan held her hand with deep concern and vowed, “Rou’er, your suffering won’t be in vain.”

She summoned Old Madam Qiu to discuss a plan.

Old Madam Qiu said, “Currently, Su Yingxue is in the limelight. She’s the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Manor, and she has the Emperor’s favor. We can’t confront her directly. If we want to provide the Second Young Miss with an opportunity to recover, we need to create a situation that will keep the Eldest Young Miss occupied and unable to take care of herself. Only then can you free up your hands, Madam.”

Liu Shulan nodded, agreeing, “That makes sense! But the incident that would make Su Yingxue unable to take care of herself… it’s only her clinic.”

Su Yingxue was tough-hearted, and there were not many things she genuinely cared about. Apart from her mother’s clinic, there wasn’t much to target.

Liu Shulan’s eyes flickered, and suddenly, a cold light flashed. She whispered something into Old Madam Qiu’s ear.

After Su Yingxue had finished her responsibilities at the Marquis’s Manor, she intended to visit Vermilion Bird Street to inspect the newly renovated clinic.

Liang Jin was also planning to visit personally since the clinic was something the Emperor held in high regard. The two of them coincidentally met in front of the clinic.

Liang Jin said, “Within half a month, the renovation will be complete. I will then personally request the Emperor to inscribe a plaque for Miss Su. The name ‘Tongchang Medical Center’ will be renowned.”

Su Yingxue offered a slight bow and replied, “Thank you, Lord Liang, for your diligent efforts on behalf of my clinic.”

Liang Jin responded, “It’s not solely for your benefit. I also hope that the people of Jiang Du City can receive better medical care. Though it’s impossible for everyone to be free from illness, if everyone can access healthcare and receive better treatment, they will lead better lives.”

Su Yingxue expressed her gratitude.

With some free time on her hands, Su Yingxue decided to visit the newly opened clinic in the western part of the city. However, upon her arrival, she found a crowd gathered at the entrance, indicating some sort of incident had occurred.

Su Yingxue pushed through the crowd to get a closer look and spotted an elderly woman at the entrance, accompanied by a child, sobbing. The old woman muttered incoherently, “Give my son’s life back! This heartless clinic, give my son’s life back!”

“My son still has a child, and as an old woman, how can I go on living?!”

Before Su Yingxue could fully grasp the situation, the clinic’s attendants came out and began to expel the crowd..
