Chapter 142: Chapter 143 You’re Not Worthy

Chu Yu was adamant, “Impossible, she could never be pregnant.”

“How is that impossible? She told me herself.” Liang Weishuang now resembled the past Chu Yu, who wouldn’t listen to anyone else but believed everything Luo Jiner said.

Chu Yu and Shao He exchanged glances, only they knew why Luo Jiner couldn’t be pregnant,

“Miss Liang should consider things more thoroughly. Don’t be easily used without realizing it,” Chu Yu kindly reminded.

Liang Weishuang had become like his past self, and the more he thought about it, the sorrier he felt for Shao He. She had explained many times, but because of his stubbornness, things had reached an irreversible point.

Thinking of their current predicament and recalling the pain he had once caused Shao He, his heart filled with guilt. “I will never let Luo Jiner off easily, nor will I let her die conveniently.”

“Doctor Shao, please persuade the Marquis not to be rash. After all, the child inside Luo Jiner is also the Marquis’s flesh and blood. It’s a life nonetheless. You are a mother; you should know how important a child is to a mother,” Liang Weishuang persuaded earnestly.

“If you want to be a good person, do it yourself. Don’t drag me into this. As for what the Marquis does, that’s his business and it has nothing to do with me. Miss Liang and the Marquis, please leave unless you have other matters, or don’t blame me for being rude,” Shao He said, her cold eyes betraying her impatience.

“Doctor Shao, are you really so heartless?”

“I have made myself clear, I hope Miss Liang will not bother me anymore,” Shao He had already envisioned how Luo Jiner acted the victim in front of Liang Weishuang and did not wish to deal further with the two, promptly seeing them out politely.

Liang Weishuang took a deep breath and turned to walk away,

Chu Yu, unwilling to leave, shamelessly asked, “Can I see the child?”

“Are you worthy?”

These three words pierced Chu Yu’s heart like a needle, causing him immense pain.

He had already let go of his pride as the Marquis to apologize and beg, yet he was still rejected!

He was not willing to give up and continued shamelessly, “Shao He, I admit I made mistakes in the past, but I never did so intentionally. It was just foolishness that led to disaster. Moreover, I now recognize my mistakes. Can’t you give me a chance?”

“There’s no chance.”

Chu Yu wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by a voice.

“What are you doing?”

Chu Yu looked up to see Pei Huaian approaching in a wheelchair, with an unfriendly air about him.

Chu Yu frowned and asked, “Young Master Pei, what brings you here?”

“Do I need to report my whereabouts to the Marquis? Are you worthy?” Pei Huaian stared at Chu Yu with disdain, his tone chillingly scornful.

Again, those three words. Chu Yu’s anger rose but he had no power to refute, only managing to speak humbly, “Young Master Pei, the matter between Shao He and me is none of your concern. Please do not interfere.”

“Ha!”

Hearing this, Pei Huaian scoffed, “You say you have no relation, yet, Marquis, can you afford not to care about the reputation of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion?”

“I…”

“Enough!”

Just as Chu Yu was about to speak, he was sternly cut off by Pei Huaian, who coldly glanced at him, “Know your place and keep your distance. Don’t make me act!”

Pei Huaian was now in a foul mood and had no time to waste further.

Chu Yu, constrained by his identity, dared not confront him and had to endure his rage as he left.

Pei Huaian’s gaze then turned to Zhao Yuebei and Yun Qian, who immediately shifted their focus, pretending to be engrossed in treating someone.

“You…” Pei Huaian started hesitantly, unsure of how to proceed.

“Just speak your mind,” Shao He, seeing his hesitation, knew he must have some difficult matter he wanted to discuss.

“I heard you went to treat the princess and the commandery princess today. How are they?” Pei Huaian changed the subject.

Shao He sat back slowly and said, “The results are good, but they need more time to fully recover.”

“Did Princess Huimin mention anything to you?” Pei Huaian asked tentatively.

Shao He looked at him with curiosity, silently guessing if Pei Huaian knew about what Princess Huimin had told her, which is why he specifically came to ask.

“She said a few things. The Commandery Princess wants to be friends, praised my medical skills, and mentioned that if I could cure the Crown Prince, the Emperor would definitely restore my grace.”

“Really? Is that all?”

Shao He lifted her head, her expression serious as she looked at him. She seemed to suspect his intentions but continued after a pause, “She also said that Young Master Pei’s frequent visits here could lead to a negative impact on both our reputations.”

“So, what do you think?” Pei Huaian paused before switching to another tone.

Shao He smiled at him, counter-questioning, “And what about you, Young Master Pei?”

“I naturally don’t care what others say. I’m just afraid it might ruin your reputation,” Pei Huaian could disregard his own reputation, but he valued Shao He’s decency and didn’t want rumors to spread.

Shao He laughed softly, “Mouths are on others’ faces; what they wish to say is beyond our control. Even if you act perfectly, some will still dislike it. We aren’t living to please others, so why should we follow what they dictate?”

Pei Huaian’s hanging heart was finally relieved, feeling fearful that Shao He might heed Princess Huimin’s words and distance herself from him!
