Chapter 22 Elbowing Outwards

  Xin Yi was also surprised, and apart from that, he was very dissatisfied.

  Everyone knows that he, the county magistrate, is afraid of his wife, but he also loves this only precious nephew.

  Now looking at the river east lion in the house, it is inexplicably forcing the nephew to apologize to a young man, which is strange.

  He coughed heavily and said, "This matter was caused by Old Man Ding's breach of promise first. I think Boru is not at fault. The county magistrate will surely make a fair judgment."

  As soon as Uncle came out, Ma Bo's expression suddenly became complacent.

  Wen's expression changed, she didn't think that her "honest" husband would dare to go against her wishes.

  She repeatedly made eyes at Xin Yi, but Xin Yi just narrowed his eyes and pretended not to know. Wen Shi was furious and sternly shouted: "You come over here."

  Having said that, Madame Wen turned and entered the inner chamber.

  Xin Yi was ordered around by his wife in front of outsiders, feeling utterly humiliated, but he didn't dare disobey her, so he could only pretend to be calm and follow her out with his head held high.

  As soon as he entered the hall, Madame Wen grasped his earlobe tightly and scolded angrily: "Fine, you even dare not listen to me, you really are going against me."

  Xin Yi was in so much pain that she let out a loud cry, and it wasn't easy for her to finally break free from her husband's "clutches". She couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, and with a burst of courage, she shouted: "One of them is our nephew, and the other is just a lowly doctor, are you crazy or something, actually helping outsiders deal with our precious nephew?"

  Mr. Wen suppressed his anger and glared at him fiercely: "Fine, then I'd like to ask you, do you want a nephew or your own son?"

  Mr. Wen's sudden and inexplicable questioning left Xin Yi bewildered, thinking to himself that he didn't even have a daughter, let alone a son.

  It's probably because Madam has been unable to conceive for a long time, and these past few days she's become ill with worry...

  Just then, Madame Wen coldly snorted: "I'm telling you, this Stone Langzhong is a divine doctor I've invited, he has a way to regulate my body so that I can carry on the Shen family line."

  Upon hearing these words, Xīn Yí was suddenly as if riding on clouds and mist, flying into the midst of the clouds, with an unprecedented look of surprise flashing across her face.

  "Madam, is what you said true?" Xīn Yí suddenly hugged his wife and asked excitedly.

  Wen looked at him with a smile, "Can't I deceive you? Just now, I've already asked this Dr. Shi to diagnose me, and I think his medical skills are quite extraordinary. He's spot on about my illness, and he's already prescribed the right medicine. This time, it must be correct."

  "Great, my Xing family finally has an heir, haha——" Xing Yi was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh loudly towards the sky.

  Madam Wen poked her husband's chest with her finger, smiling sarcastically: "Now you're happy, I'd like to ask you, are you still going to deal with the person who can make your family prosperous for the sake of your useless nephew?"

  Xin Yi's expression quickly turned serious, and he said with a flat mouth: "This kid Bo Er is too much, don't worry, madam, I have my own way of handling this."

  As he spoke, Xinyi rearranged the county magistrate's hairdo and walked proudly towards the front hall.

  In the front hall, Ma Bo was leaning back with his legs crossed, staring at Shi Wei with a haughty and disdainful gaze.

  He chewed a mouthful of fruit and said disdainfully, "Surnamed Shi, you really have guts. I haven't even made a move yet, but you've already gone to tattle to my aunt."

  Shi Wei smiled faintly: "Master Ma misunderstood, I didn't come to report anything, it was the lady who invited me."

  "Please, you?" Ma Bo sneered, his contemptuous expression even thicker. "Although I don't know what tricks you've used to deceive my aunt into speaking for you, you can tell yourself that with my uncle around, you'll be in for a good show."

  "I doubt it," Shi Wei replied with a profound tone.

  Ma Bo felt increasingly annoyed at the calm and composed young man, just as he was about to mock him, but saw his uncle Xin Yi swaggering back.

  Ma Bozheng was in a bad mood, and as soon as he saw his uncle, he immediately stood up and walked forward, saying angrily: "Uncle, this kid doesn't know what's good for him, you must teach him a lesson..."

  "Shut up!"

  Xin Yi let out a stern shout, abruptly suppressing Ma Bo's complaints. This young master was so frightened that he trembled with fear, his face filled with confusion and shock, momentarily petrified in place, stiff and bewildered.

  After scolding his nephew, Xin Yi's stern expression immediately turned sunny, and he smiled at Shi Wei with a bow: "My nephew has always been fond of making trouble, it's all because the county is not well-behaved, I hope Stone Lang Zhong will forgive me."

  The majestic county magistrate, his own uncle, actually used such a polite tone to speak well of his "enemy", and Ma Bo was completely shocked at this moment, he simply didn't dare believe his eyes.

  "Uncle, what are you doing? This dog..." Ma Bo was about to shout in alarm.

  Xin Yi suddenly turned around, fiercely staring at him: "You stinky little brat, shut your mouth for me. If you dare to be rude to Shi Lang again, don't blame me for using family law and breaking your dog legs."

  This scared him so much that Ma Bo, no matter how dissatisfied and confused he was, didn't dare to make any more trouble. He could only gloomily swallow his resentment and look down at his uncle, who usually spoiled him, with a humble attitude towards the young doctor.

  Shi Wei thought back to the arrogant attitude of Ma Bo two days ago, and now looking at his disheveled appearance today, he couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude. However, he said: "Sir Xin, you're being too serious, I've already said that this is just a misunderstanding, it's not Master Ma's fault."

  As soon as the words fell, Madame Wen also came out from behind and stared at Ma Bo, saying: "Look at Shi Langzhong's magnanimity, you still don't hurry up to apologize to Shi Langzhong."

  Ma Bo's heart was struck again, and the resentment in his heart made him think: "You are my uncle and aunt, not only do you not help your own nephew, but also make me apologize to a young doctor? What kind of logic is this? Have you all gone mad?"

  "Still dawdling? Quickly go and apologize to Shi Langzhong!" Xinyi scolded loudly, seeing that he didn't move.

  Ma Bo's whole body trembled, and although he had all sorts of dissatisfaction in his heart, when his uncle spoke, he couldn't help but follow.

  He awkwardly walked up to Shi Wei, his face flushing red, and bowed his head to say, "Shi Langzhong, I'm sorry."

  A hint of cold smile flashed through Shi Wei's heart, but he pretended to be surprised and delighted, cupping his hands and saying: "Oh no, oh no, Master Ma is too kind."

  Jian De Ma Bo has apologized, and Xin Yi's couple no longer pays attention to him. They smiled and accompanied Shi Wei out of the mansion.

  Ma Bo was abandoned in the hall, staring blankly as Shi Wei Yang walked away, his whole person like an eggplant that had been struck by frost, standing there listlessly.

  …………

  The sky was getting late, and there was still no sign of Shi Wei. Fan Peilan and Yihuan Dingxiang were anxiously waiting in the clinic.

  Although Shi Wei had told them his plan, they were still women after all, and they were afraid that if Shi Wei couldn't cure the county magistrate's wife's illness, this trip would be a one-way journey.

  As they were pacing back and forth, they heard the sound of horses and carriages coming from outside the clinic. The two of them rushed to the door together and looked out.

  As expected, there was a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the gate. Fan Peilan recognized it at a glance - it was the official government carriage belonging to the county magistrate.

  Just as he was in a state of doubt, Shi Wei suddenly got down from the carriage and the official who drove the carriage politely sent him to the door before respectfully bidding farewell.

  "Yuan Zhi, you've finally come back, what's going on?"

  Two women joyfully came out of the door, Fan Peilan pointed at the distant carriage, with a curious look in her eyes.

  "I'll tell you slowly when I get back." Shi Wei's eyebrows were filled with a hint of smugness as he strolled leisurely into the pavilion.

  Ding Xiang served tea, and Fan Pei Lan fanned beside him. After drinking a cup of tea, Shi Wei slowly told the story of what had happened in the county magistrate's mansion.

  Fan Peilan heard this and couldn't help but feel delighted, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to cure Wen Furen's illness, but it turns out you're so capable. This is great, we've finally overcome this difficult hurdle."

  On the other side, Ding Xiang was surprised and delighted, with tears in her eyes. With a "thud", she knelt down to Shi Wei, knocking her head on the ground while sobbing: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master... From now on, I, Ding Xiang, will be your servant for life..."
