Chapter 101: Liu Rong's Father's Reaction

  Outside the mansion, Liu Rong's father, Liu Zhongquan, and a group of court officials were drinking and attending a banquet. An official at the next table stared at Liu Zhongquan for a long time before suddenly speaking up: "Isn't this the young master of the Wencheng Marquis Manor?"

  Liu Zhongquan was taken aback, looking at the stranger in front of him with a puzzled expression. It was clear that he and the other person had little interaction on the court, otherwise he wouldn't have felt so unfamiliar: "Does this gentleman have any business?"

  The official immediately beamed with a smile: "Since you are the son of the Duke of Wending, then you must be the father of that divine doctor, Miss Liu San. As it happens, my wife is about to give birth and I've heard that your daughter's medical skills are extraordinary, able to bring people back from the brink of death. Would it be possible to ask your daughter to take a look at my wife?"

  The official nodded in unison, and the officials next to him couldn't help but chime in: "I also heard that rumor, it's said that his daughter was the one who saved Zhang Jia's young master from falling off his horse, when all the doctors had given up on saving him."

  "Zhong Quan, this is not right. You've always known that my mother's health is poor, and with a daughter who has such good medical skills, how can you not let her come to our house to take a look at my mother?"

  "Mr. Liu, my wife at home has been feeling unwell lately, can your daughter also take a look?"

  This passage is all about asking Liu Rong's father, Liu Zhongquan, to let Liu Rong go to these people's mansions to help with medical treatment.

  Since the decline of the Wen Dinghou Mansion, Liu Chongquan had never enjoyed such a taste of being surrounded by stars and moon. For a while, he only felt that his whole body was at ease, and his whole person was light and floating. In the end, he didn't even know how many people he had promised, and finally returned to the Wen Dinghou Mansion with a smile on his face, full of excitement.

  Just arrived at the Wen Dinghou Mansion, I saw two horse-drawn carriages at the gate moving things around. I couldn't help but frown and stopped a young servant to ask: "The New Year's festival hasn't arrived yet, why are you moving so many things? What is going on?"

  Xiao Cong saw that it was Liu Chongquan. Immediately, a flattering smile spread across his face: "Young Master, the old marquis has ordered that Third Young Miss be sent to live in the second courtyard of the city's west residence."

  "What! How can this be!" Liu Zhongquan's face changed instantly, he had promised many people to let Liu Rong treat these people, how could Liu Rong move out now? Then how would he manage Liu Rong and have her help those big shots' relatives with their illnesses.

  How can Liu Rong help the Wen Dinghou Fu win over those big households, knowing that there is also a third-grade official among the people who asked for medical treatment this time? Absolutely not allowed to let Liu Rong move out of the mansion!

  Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to dismiss the young servant and immediately went to Old Master Hou's study.

  He rushed into Old Master Hou's study and saw him standing still in the room, writing a running script with an unstable brush stroke.

  "Father, absolutely cannot let Liu Rong move out of the mansion!" Liu Zhongquan said as soon as he entered the study, speaking to Old Master Hou.

  Old Master Hou's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Are you trying to make your father's words carry no weight with his own granddaughter?"

  Liu Zhongquan's face turned pale and red: "Even so, she can't leave the Wendinghou Mansion. You don't know, my third daughter is a medical genius. If I let her leave like this, how can that be!"

  Old Master Hou furrowed his brow: "You're only keeping her from leaving Wending Hou Manor because of her medical skills?"

  "It's only natural, I have to go out today. Many colleagues asked me to let my three daughters see their relatives' illnesses, and I agreed to all of them. But if I let Liu Rong leave the Wén Dìng Hóu Fǔ, how can I let her see these people's illnesses? How can we help our Wén Dìng Hóu Fǔ build relationships?" Liú Zhòng Quán said with a straight face!

  Old Master Hou's fingers trembled with rage: "No wonder your daughter insisted on leaving the Wendinghou Mansion, it was because of a father like you! Get out! Don't mention this again. Your daughter left the Wendinghou Mansion, that was my promise!"

  "You're no longer allowed to interfere with her affairs from now on!"

  "But father, I've promised so many people... and there are even officials of the third rank here!" Liu Zhongquan couldn't help but continue.

  "Don't let me out, you have no ability, don't arbitrarily promise things for others. Unless Liu Rong herself is willing to stay in the Wendinghou Mansion, otherwise you are not allowed to interfere with her!" The old marquis looked at Liu Zhongquan and said sternly: "You immediately go back to your own room and reflect on yourself!"

  Old Master Hou didn't even give Liu Zhongquan another glance as he spoke.

  Liu Zhongquan's face turned alternately pale and red, all because of his unruly third daughter, who had gotten him scolded. Immediately, Liu Zhongquan thought of what Old Master Hou had said - as long as Liu Rong was willing to stay in the Wendinghou Mansion, she could do so. He immediately turned around and walked out.

  He would never let this old lady leave the Wende Hou Mansion!

  Liu Zhongquan hastened his pace towards Liu Dainai's residence, but after walking for a while, he realized that he didn't know where his third daughter lived. He casually called out to a young maid to lead the way in front of him.

  Liu Rong was busy moving her jars and bottles, observing the fermentation of the Aspergillus inside, while secretly worrying about whether the thread in Zhang's body would disappear on its own. Although there were cases showing that foreign objects could exist in a person's body, it was also highly likely to cause some discomfort.

  She must figure out the sheep gut, only she knows that sheep gut is related to sheep gut, and it's made from the outer fibers of sheep gut, but nothing else.

  There is also glass, surgery requires blood transfusions, and this thing needs to be used for blood testing. Moreover, this time did not hurt the large blood vessels, no need for vascular anastomosis, otherwise medical microscopes are needed for vascular suture. This thing also needs to use glass.

  Just as she was concentrating on thinking about what could be replaced, she heard a surprised cry from outside: "Young Master, how did you come?"

  "Where is the young lady from your family? When did I ever allow her to leave the Wendefu Mansion? My daughter, a member of the Wendefu household, thinks she can just leave whenever she wants? What kind of discipline is this? Don't think that just because you're related to the Yongcheng County Princess, you've grown wings. This is a family matter, and these people don't have the right to interfere!"

  Liu Rong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she put down the ceramic experiment bowl, turning to look at the door, only to see Dong Er trying to block him, but her father had already forcibly pushed his way in.

  "Dad, what are you doing?"

  "Are you moving things out of the house in preparation for leaving the Wencheng Marquis's residence?" Lyu Rong's father, Lyu Zhongquan, asked with a very impolite tone.

  "This was what Grandfather promised, as long as Eldest Sister's marriage is not called off..."

  "I didn't agree to you leaving the house, and you're not allowed to leave the house. Did you hear that? Immediately instruct those people to bring all your luggage back!"

  Liu Rong's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but she didn't move at all.

  "Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and go!"

  Dong Er looked at Liu Rong with concern, then glanced at her father before plucking up the courage to speak: "Young Master, didn't you always dislike my family's young miss? Now that she's moving out of the manor, won't it be just what you wanted - out of sight, out of mind?"

  "My daughter should stay in the mansion, what's with all this nonsense! Your young lady won't move, can't you even order someone to bring her luggage back? What is the Wen Ding Hou Fu feeding you for!" Liu Zhongquan said as he kicked Dong Er to the ground.

  Liu Rong quickly helped Dong Er up and anxiously looked at him: "Is there anywhere hurt?"

  Dong Er worried about Liu Rong's quick temper, and hastily shook his head. However, the tightly furrowed eyebrows revealed the weight of this matter. The anger in Liu Rong's heart couldn't help but surge up, and she almost wanted to take action against this cheap father. But instead, she spoke to Dong Er first: "I'll help you up, you sit aside for now."

  "You're just a slave, why are you being so finicky? Hurry up and go outside to instruct those people to bring back the gifts for your young mistress! Are you trying to get me to send your contract of sale to the human traffickers?"

  Liu Rong suddenly turned her head towards Liu Zhongquan: "Please you immediately! Immediately! Leave my house!"

  "What did you say?" Liu Zhongquan's face suddenly fell!

  Liu Rong took a deep breath, thinking that Zhong Yiniang would still have to live in this mansion afterwards, and restrained her temper to speak: "I left the Wendinghou Mansion with my grandfather's consent and order."

  "I don't agree!" Liu Zhongquan said unreasonably.

  Liu Rong furrowed her brow: "Father, are you telling me to go find Grandfather right now and tell him that what he said has no effect on you?"

  Liu Rong looked at Liu Chongquan's questioning one word at a time.

  Liu Zhongquan thought of his father's attitude towards him before, and he couldn't help but shrink back slightly, but he didn't leave. He just looked at Liu Rong's changing expression, and after a while, he finally spoke up: "Don't think that bringing up your grandfather can intimidate me!"

  Liu Rong saw that Liu Chongquan didn't have the same confidence as before, and knew that Old Master Hou still had some intimidating effect on this cheap father. He stabilized his emotions and looked at Liu Chongquan, who opened his mouth lightly: "The Great Xia Dynasty has always governed with filial piety, if Father's words were to spread out, I don't know what everyone would think."

  Liu Zhongquan's face turned even more unsightly, and he became so angry that his face turned red: "Can you also say this? Now! Go immediately and tell those servants not to move your things!"

  Liu Rong didn't move at all!

  Liu Zhongquan's face suddenly filled with rage: "I am your father, you must obey me, go and give the order now, don't make me speak again. If you dare to disobey me again, you are unfilial, I will report you to the emperor! Even if you have the Princess of Yongcheng, it cannot change the fact that you are my daughter and must obey me as your father!"

  Liu Rong couldn't help but laugh, apart from providing for her, he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. He would scold her harshly and yet still dared to ask her: "Sorry, I'm powerless!"

  "How dare you!" Liu Zhongquan raised his hand and was about to slap Liu Rong.

  Liu Rong raised her head high, looking coldly at Liu Zhongquan, waiting for his palm to fall. She wanted to see just how ruthless and heartless this father of hers could be!

  "Stop!" The old master Hou's angry voice rang out from the doorway!
