Chapter 211: Conflict
Seeing Li Chun's cowering appearance, Ye Ruoruo frowned even more deeply.
Madam Li looked at him earnestly, tears welling in her eyes.
"Miss Ye, our daughter isn't that kind of person, please help us!"
She explained anxiously, her face somewhat pale.
Ye Ruoruo merely glanced silently at Li Chun on the ground. Judging from her reaction, it was truly uncertain.
I'm afraid Li Chun probably did it, but he doesn't dare to admit it.
She clicked her tongue: "I don't know who your daughter is, but given her current mental state, she can't lie."
When Li Chun saw Ye Ruoruo pointing at him, his face turned even paler.
"I was wrong! I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"
She suddenly clutched her head, her voice trembling, her body shaking; she looked utterly pitiful.
"Now that we know who it is, we need to find the reason. Only by finding the reason can I help her."
Ye Ruoruo's brows were tightly furrowed, as if all the turmoil of the day had been poured into this one.
“Princess Jinglie, yes, Miss Ye, we will accompany you to find her!” After a long silence, Madam Li seemed to grasp at a straw and immediately turned to leave.
But Li's father, standing to the side, fell into an eerie silence.
Ye Ruoruo casually raised her eyes and immediately met the emotions in Li's father's eyes.
He was unwilling; he didn't want to offend Lin Rusi.
"Alright, don't make things difficult for her. I know her well. I'll go find her." With that, Ye Ruoruo picked up her medicine box, whispered a comforting remark to Madam Li, and turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li visibly breathed a sigh of relief, as she too dared not face the Jinglie Prince's Mansion.
With Ye Ruoruo's agreement, she hurriedly and thoughtfully prepared the carriage maids.
……
The carriage jolted along, and Ye Ruoruo was deep in thought.
Seeing Li Chun's reaction, she realized what had happened.
I had heard long ago that Lin Rusi was not familiar with Princess Lin'an and the others.
It could even be described as a particularly bad relationship.
It now appears that the rumors were true!
Li Chun and his group, like Princess Lin'an, have probably done something to wrong Lin Rusi.
Those who were disfigured or otherwise were mostly victims of Lin Rusi's actions.
In that case, Li Chun deserved it.
However, thinking of the other person trembling in the room, Ye Ruoruo still couldn't bear it.
……
Soon, the sedan chair arrived at the Jinglie Prince's Mansion.
Ye Ruoruo didn't want to get involved, but upholding the principles of a doctor's benevolence, she hesitated for a while before reluctantly getting out of the sedan chair.
Lin Rusi was also surprised by Ye Ruoruo's sudden visit, and her eyes showed a hint of confusion.
"What brings you here, Miss Ye?"
Her voice was gentle as she asked for seating and brought out pastries.
"I came for Li Chun," Ye Ruoruo said frankly, without hiding anything.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi frowned, her eyes showing some displeasure.
"I do know Li Chun, but what could possibly require Dr. Ye's help?" Lin Rusi asked, puzzled.
As she spoke, she was silently pondering to herself.
To be honest, Ye Ruoruo and Li Chun have no relation whatsoever, and they probably haven't interacted before.
But how did she get involved with Li Chun?
"The Li family asked me to treat their illness, which is why they sent me. I suspect her illness is related to you."
Ye Ruoruo's gaze was sharp, as if she could see through Lin Rusi's emotions.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi smiled gently.
"Is she sick?" Lin Rusi turned around and stared at Wanxia.
Wanxia immediately shook her head; she hadn't touched Li Chun.
Li Chun was not involved in this matter, and although Wanxia hated evil, she was not unaware of it.
"Do you have anything to do with Princess Lin'an and the others?" Ye Ruoruo asked with a smile, while Lin Rusi frowned.
He nodded immediately: "Yes!"
Lin Rusi was too lazy to hide it, and besides, it was she who had allowed Wanxia to do this in the first place.
Therefore, it can be considered that she gave the instruction.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rusi asked in return.
Ye Ruoruo's eyes turned slightly cold: "Lin Rusi, how come I never realized you were such a vicious person!"
“Vicious? I’m just giving them a taste of their own medicine. What they had the street thugs do to me, wasn’t that going too far?” Lin Rusi suddenly raised her head and questioned.
“That’s too much, but…” Ye Ruoruo pursed her lips, somewhat stunned.
Lin Rusi looked at him coldly: "Dr. Ye, if you're a saint and want to do good deeds, don't drag me into it."
Lin Rusi had no feelings or interest in Li Chun.
But Ye Ruoruo didn't want to give up, and said softly, "But Li Chun, you're suffering from a heart condition now."
Lin Rusi suddenly stood up, her gaze turning cold and sharp: "They want to destroy me, isn't that going too far?"
Lin Rusi originally didn't want to say anything too harsh, but Ye Ruoruo was morally blackmailing her.
Luo Lan truly intended to harm her, so naturally, she simply returned the favor to Luo Lan in kind.
As for the other two, they will only receive minor punishments as a warning, and will not be disfigured.
At least, Lin Rusi herself didn't think it was excessive.
On the other side, Ye Ruoruo's face flushed red, and it took her a long time to finally manage to utter a single sentence.
"But isn't that too vicious!"
Ye Ruoruo's words made Lin Rusi burst out laughing.
"What does it have to do with me?!"
The two argued, and Wanxia was unhappy, since they were the ones who had done wrong.
Why should we blame the girl?
"Enough! Doctor Ye! My young lady has never done that. It was me who did it. I was the one who poisoned her, and I only told her about it later!"
Wanxia's eyes widened, and she stood in front of Lin Rusi with some displeasure, shielding Lin Rusi.
The latter was also stunned for a moment. Ye Ruoruo looked at Lin Rusi in disbelief and shook her head: "I don't believe it! I don't believe what you're saying, Lin Rusi. You're not that kind of person at all."
Seeing Ye Ruoruo's flushed face, Lin Rusi sighed and stopped talking.
He already knew that it would be useless for him to explain, as Ye Ruoruo wouldn't believe him.
"Forget it, Wanxia, there's no need to explain. Doctor Ye, since I'm being malicious, Li Chun's matter has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving now."
After speaking, Lin Rusi lifted her foot and left the hall, leaving Ye Ruoruo stunned.
"Wait a minute! Aren't you coming with me to save Li Chun?" Ye Ruoruo asked anxiously, but Lin Rusi only sneered.
"Let Miss Ye be the good guy." With that, she turned and left without looking back.
Ye Ruoruo was humiliated and had no choice but to leave. She was very unhappy and increasingly angry.
Where does Lin Rusi get her airs from?
She stomped her foot hard on the ground, watched the two figures walk away without looking back, and finally left helplessly.
……
Upon returning to the Li residence, Madam Li immediately rushed over.
"How about it?!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo took a deep breath. She could only feel utterly disappointed.
Suddenly, Mrs. Li was struck dumb, and she burst into tears, crying out, "What are we going to do? My Chun Chun!"
Ye Ruoruo frowned, hesitated, and then said, "Actually, I have another way, but..."
Madam Li raised her head: "But what?"
Meeting her expectant gaze, Ye Ruoruo sighed and whispered, "Go apologize!"
