Princess Qingyuan never imagined that her son, whom she had always prided herself on, would be so vulnerable in front of Xie Jiang.
In fact, the Duke of Wei and his brother were also quite surprised. Xie Jiang, who appeared frail, not only possessed remarkable medical skills but also surprisingly formidable martial arts.
Meng Junyu rolled on the ground in pain, then clutched his abdomen, cold sweat streaming down his face.
Princess Qingyuan exclaimed in alarm, "Junyu, how are you?"
Second Master Xu also quickly expressed his concern, "Is Young Master Meng alright? Should we call a doctor?"
The Duke of Wei said, "Quickly, quickly, go fetch a doctor!"
At this moment, Xie Jiang spoke softly, "I think it's best not to. Such a minor injury, does it even warrant a doctor's skill?"
Princess Qingyuan could no longer contain herself, gritting her teeth, "Duke of Wei, Second Master Xu, you both saw it. It's not that I'm not giving you face, but this person is simply too arrogant and defiant! First, she injured my daughter without reason, and now she has severely wounded Junyu right before your eyes! She shows no respect when meeting me, proving she has no remorse whatsoever! There's no misunderstanding as you claim! Everything was done intentionally by this person! How can you expect me to tolerate this!"
"If she isn't taught a proper lesson today! How can I quell the hatred in my heart!"
The Duke of Wei also felt that Xie Jiang was truly...
Speechless.
Originally, Princess Qingyuan's anger had been almost pacified.
As long as Xie Jiang bowed her head and healed the county princess's broken leg, this incident would truly be considered a misunderstanding.
The county princess, a young girl, had broken her leg. Even with the imperial physician most skilled in orthopedics examining her, how could Princess Qingyuan not be worried about potential lingering effects?
It was Princess Qingyuan, the mother, who would suffer the heartache.
Coincidentally, the Poison Doctor's medical skills were superb. With the Poison Doctor's expertise as a safeguard, the county princess's leg would be more secure.
Even Young Master Meng, for his sister's leg, had decided to suppress his own anger.
He had never expected Xie Jiang to ignite the flames so fiercely from the start.
Heavens! This scoundrel named Xie, be a human!
If the Poison Doctor hadn't been invited by their Duke of Wei's mansion from Mount Xian, they would have immediately tied her up and allowed Princess Qingyuan to take her away for punishment.
But there were no such "ifs."
If they hadn't invited her down the mountain, no matter what kind of death the Poison Doctor met, it would have nothing to do with them.
"Why without reason? Princess's words are truly an art form."
Even though Princess Qingyuan was so angry she was about to explode, Xie Jiang remained seated leisurely, as if not concerned about her situation at all.
"If a flower is blooming beautifully, and a fly keeps hovering around it, it's quite an eyesore. Who wouldn't want to drive the fly away? Why keep it to disgust oneself?"
Xie Jiang felt she had done nothing wrong. What was wrong with eliminating a pest for the people? Was the fault that the fly's mother was a princess?
"Meng Junyu just took one kick, and it's already a severe injury? Is a mosquito bite a terminal illness? And why did Meng Junyu get kicked? The princess is conveniently blind!"
Second Master Xu wished he could cover the scoundrel's mouth! Couldn't she say one less word! Was she trying to make Princess Qingyuan's anger burn even hotter?
Why did Young Master Meng make a move? Wasn't it because you, with your eyes, brazenly disrespected Princess Qingyuan! Which son could tolerate that!
Xie Jiang was acting so innocent – "She was the one who asked me to look!"
Second Master Xu almost spat out blood!
"Guards! Guards—" The Princess, enraged, shouted uncontrollably, "Seize this madwoman for me! I will tear her into a thousand pieces—"
How dare she compare her Le'an to a fly! What was wrong with Le'an wanting Song Ze? It was Song Ze's and the Duke of Dingguo's fortune that Le'an fancied him!
What if some people didn't like Le'an's behavior? Let anyone dare to say a word about Le'an in front of her and see what happens!
What kind of person was this Xie? This was the territory of Da Yu, not some damn Lan Yong, for her to be so presumptuous!
