Chapter 224 -225: Matchmaking for Shao He

“This full moon feast is really lively.” A low, husky voice sounded.

Pei Huaian, Pei Chengye, Pei Jingyi, and Pei Haolan walked over together.

The speaker was Pei Huaian. His icy gaze was directed at Xia Zhaohe, as if intending to shoot right through her.

“Greetings to the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince.” All the guests bowed in unison.

“Everyone, please rise, there’s no need to be so formal,” Pei Chengye said with a smile.

Pei Huaian walked straight towards Shao He, followed closely by Pei Chengye, while Pei Haolan pulled Pei Jingyi away.

Xia Zhaohe hurriedly put down her hand and immediately put on a bullied expression, “Brother An, this female doctor bullied me.”

Zhaohe was very beautiful, indeed captivating and extremely delicate.

Any man who saw her like this would likely feel immense pity.

Unfortunately, she had encountered Pei Huaian today. He showed no reaction at all, indifferently glanced at her as if he hadn’t seen her.

“Brother An…” Xia Zhaohe tried to move forward to grab his sleeve, but she was dodged.

“What exactly happened?” Pei Huaian’s gaze remained fixed on Shao He, as if waiting for her response.

Since his arrival, Shao He had been shocked into silence, thinking to herself, “He should be confined to his estate right now, how could he come here?

Moreover, to a crowded feast like this, if the Emperor finds out, who knows what punishment he will face!”

“Brother An, I hurt my foot and wanted to ask Doctor Shao for help, but she continuously refused and even said I was not worthy of her treatment. This female doctor is incredibly arrogant.”

Xia Zhaohe’s eyes reddened with grievance, her tearful look very pitiful.

“Is that so, Doctor Shao?”

Pei Huaian did not display his usual frivolous demeanor, but instead, emitted a mature and steady aura.

Seeing Brother An helping her, Xia Zhaohe’s mood instantly brightened.

Before Huimin, who had been silent throughout, could speak, Jhiang Yijia stepped forward and said, “That’s not true, it’s clearly Princess Ninghe who deliberately made things difficult for Doctor Shao, demanding she remove her shoes to examine her foot, and even insulted her.”

Jhiang Yijia did not hesitate to offend Princess Ninghe to defend Shao He’s honor, as she had invited her and it was unreasonable to let Doctor Shao be mistreated in her presence.

Even knowing the consequences, which might trouble the Fang Family, she still chose to defend her lifesaver.

Shao He hadn’t expected Jhiang Yijia to stand up for her, feeling a touch of warmth at the confrontation with Princess Ninghe.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Xia Zhaohe, her lie exposed, flushed red with anger and pointed at Jhiang Yijia, scolding her furiously.

Pei Huaian looked grimly at Princess Ninghe, his tone icy: “Princess Ninghe, do you still enjoy bullying others using your status?”

Princess Ninghe, unable to maintain her composure, glared fiercely at Jhiang Yijia: “Brother An, it’s these two colluding together, deliberately framing me!”

“With so many eyes watching, you still dare to argue here. You truly do not know repentance!” Pei Huaian shouted angrily, what he detested the most was Princess Ninghe’s arrogance.

In the side hall, everyone hardly dared to breathe, the atmosphere turning extremely awkward.

Pei Chengye patted Pei Huaian on the shoulder, trying to smooth things over with a smile, “What’s this big deal? It’s just a misunderstanding, let’s not spoil the children’s full moon feast.”

Having said this, he turned towards Shao He and asked, “Didn’t Doctor Shao bring her child? That morning, seeing your child at my younger brother’s house was truly endearing.”

This statement was clearly intended for Princess Ninghe to hear. His goal was to provoke Princess Ninghe into reacting.

Shao He answered back, “It was to see a patient.”

“Oh, right, my mistake,” Pei Chengye explained with a grin, not arguing about this matter.

Princess Ninghe’s expression turned even uglier, glaring at Shao He with venomous hate, as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.

“Humph…” Princess Ninghe snorted heavily and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Jhiang Yijia quickly followed her, fearful of any rash action she might take.

Xia Zhaohe watched the two with gritted teeth, wishing she could tear Jhiang Yijia into pieces.

Today’s loss of face was all because of Jhiang Yijia.

“Alright, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let’s continue,” Pei Chengye said cheerfully.

Afterwards, everyone returned to their seats, resumed eating and chatting as if nothing had happened.

Xia Zhaohe sat back down, feeling extremely suffocated but forced herself to appear calm.

Looking at the pastries in front of her, she suddenly found them extremely obnoxious. She grabbed a chopstick and furiously threw it to the ground, then angrily left the table.

“What’s with Princess Ninghe? Her temper seems to be getting worse,” Pei Chengye said, shaking his head helplessly.

The drama ended thus, and Jhiang Yijia turned to greet the other guests.

The crowd later dispersed gradually, and Pei Chengye, still smiling, turned and went elsewhere.

Pei Huaian, looking concerned, turned to Shao He and asked, “Are you alright?”

Shao He shook her head, “I’m fine.”

“How did you manage to come here? You’re currently under house arrest. If the Emperor finds out, the consequences are unimaginable.” After saying this, Shao He realized she might have spoken too much, possibly leading to misunderstandings.

Pei Huaian’s lips curved into a broad smile, relishing the feeling of being cared for.
