The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1553 - 1639: Disrespect

The Old Lady Zhu of the Zhu family is the matriarch and head of the family. Her dismissive attitude clearly shows that she does not hold the Huizi Store group in high regard.

Perhaps the Zhu family has become too arrogant due to having a strong backing. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

When the Zhu family’s servants arrogantly ’invited’ Dong Huiying and her group inside, Shujun’s expression turned cold.

Though he hadn’t been to Nanling many times, he had been busy with business and had also investigated quite a bit about the affairs in Nanling.

For example, the Zhu family used to be very flattering to Master Liu of the Nanling branch.

Master Liu of the branch is a man of unremarkable appearance, even considered ugly by Dayuan Country women’s standards. Yet the Zhu family tried to marry their daughter to him to curry favor.

Unfortunately, Master Liu had affections for someone else and declined the offer.

Now, the Zhu family is like a dog that ascended to heaven, all thanks to the Eighth Princess.

"Xiao Hui, watch your step." Shujun supported his spouse’s arm, helping her over the threshold of the Zhu family’s door.

Dong Huiying’s eyes sparkled. She glanced at Shujun with a light smile, feeling that it had been a long while since she saw such considerate behavior from him.

She sighed softly in her heart and then composed herself.

The Zhu family is arrogant. Today, their servants have wantonly destroyed the shops under the Huizi Store name, suggesting they have significant confidence.

Dong Huiying came here for the Eighth Princess. To extinguish the arrogance of the Zhu family, she must cut off their arrogance at the root, the most effective method.

She discreetly curved her lips, and upon entering the Zhu family’s main hall, she observed the Old Lady Zhu adorned in gold and jade, leisurely sipping tea.

Zhu De sat by the old lady’s side, indicating how favored he was by her.

The Zhu family was quite wealthy in Nanling City, and the old lady had many offspring, yet the successor was not one of her children, but rather a distant relative, Zhu De.

On the way, Dong Huiying took a detailed report about the Zhu family from Shujun. Everything about the Zhu family that could be investigated had been recorded.

As for those matters that couldn’t be uncovered, it was just a matter of time.

"Old Lady Zhu," Dong Huiying smiled gracefully, glanced at the chair meant for guests beside her, and elegantly sat down.

Her men stood behind her. That’s the custom in Dayuan Country—women are supreme, and men usually stay in the back rooms. In more formal settings, women always take the forefront.

Old Lady Zhu put down her teacup and looked at Dong Huiying indifferently, "This must be the lady in charge of the Liang San family of the Huizi Store?"

Shujun’s business was vast, and wherever he went, he was always respectfully addressed as ’Third Master.’ At the very least, he should be called ’Third young master Liang.’ Yet the small Zhu family directly called him ’Liang San,’ which was more than just disrespectful.

With an air of superiority and disdain, the old lady’s ’confidence’ was indeed strong.

Dong Huiying smiled coldly, "I came today to seek justice for my Third husband. In business, harmony brings wealth. Why did you order people to destroy my Huizi Store? Who authorized this? Is the Zhu family declaring war on my Huizi Store?"
