Chapter 86 I can’t do it myself, can you slap me?

Lin Siqiong's eyes were red, as if she was enduring endless grievances.

As he spoke, his knees softened and he was about to kneel down.

When the Marquis’ wife saw this scene, she was immediately heartbroken and quickly embraced Lin Siqiong in her arms.

"No! Siqiong, I can't let you suffer this kind of injustice!"

Lin Siqiong kept shaking her head, "Mother, as long as my sister and Youning can calm down, I won't feel wronged no matter how much I suffer."

"Si Qiong! My Si Qiong! How can you be so soft-hearted and kind-hearted? Why do you always think about others? You are tearing my heart out!"

The two of you hugged each other, you spoke and I spoke, crying uncontrollably.

The First-Class General's Mansion is not in the downtown area, but there are still people passing by the door.

They made such a big noise that naturally attracted a lot of people to gather around.

When some women and young girls saw this scene, their eyes became sore and they almost shed tears.

Some people even pointed fingers at Yu Youning.

"How can you be so cruel, little girl?"

"Even her own grandmother and aunt were crying so hard that they were about to kneel down before her, yet she was still sitting firmly on the horse."

"That's right! How did you raise someone so young to have such a cold heart?"

Lin Siqiong listened to the discussions around her and continued to cry on the Marquis's shoulder, but her eyes were full of pride.

Yu Youning is just a little girl, yet she still wants to fight with her!

It's just a pipe dream!

It would be best for Yu Youning to stay on the horse and never let go.

Only in this way can Yu Youning and Yu Tingwan’s reputation be completely ruined!

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a rebuke as loud as a bell.

"That's enough! Shut up!"

This is the voice of Marshal Wen!

Everyone shut their mouths at the same time and looked at Marshal Wen in confusion.

Marshal Wen’s contributions will last for thousands of years, and even the common people living in the capital are grateful to him.

Seeing that Marshal Wen was angry, no one dared to say a word.

Marshal Wen did not even look at the people around him, but stared fiercely at the Marquis's wife with his tiger eyes.

"You keep saying you're here to pick up Tingwan and Youning, but you let your adopted daughter distort the truth and smear Tingwan and Youning's reputation. You're not worthy of being a mother!"

"This adopted daughter is setting a trap for Youning with every word she says, just to get everyone to point fingers at Youning and Tingwan. It would be fine if you didn't stand up for them, but you actually hugged this vicious woman and cried. I think you're blind! Your brain is full of water!"

Marshal Wen is well-versed in the art of war and is well aware of the twists and turns.

He already saw clearly what Lin Siqiong was planning.

Now that I see it clearly, I can’t tolerate it!

Lin Siqiong’s true face must be exposed in person!

The Marquis' wife was scolded by the Marquis of Yong'an, and she felt embarrassed, angry, and confused.

Siqiong...is this really what Marshal Wen said?

Lin Siqiong felt the Marquis's body stiffen for a moment, and knew that Marshal Wen's words had entered her heart, so she quickly straightened up.

"Mom, I really didn't..."

"Since the old marshal feels that my apology is insincere, I will kneel down now!"

"Youning! Auntie kowtows to you!"

Yu Youning snorted, "Then kowtow! You've usurped my mother's position as legitimate daughter for twenty-five years. So kowtow twenty-five times as an apology to my mother."

Lin Siqiong was dumbfounded.

This...what is going on!

Why did Yu Youning agree?

Isn't she afraid of being criticized?

At this moment, a group of people hurried towards this side.

The leader was wearing the clothes of the chief eunuch and had a smile on his face.

"Old Marshal, young doctor! I'm here to deliver something!"

Eunuch Zhao's voice was rather shrill, and coupled with the slightly flattering smile on his face, he gave people a rather strange feeling.

Although the people didn't know who Eunuch Zhao was, they knew he must have come from the palace just by hearing his voice.

The people following behind him were either holding trays or carrying boxes. At first glance, the place was full of gold, splendor, jewels and precious stones, which made people's eyes pop out.

Marshal Wen dismounted first, then carried Yu Youning down from his horse. Then, smiling, he asked Eunuch Zhao, "Eunuch Zhao, what brings you here?"

Eunuch Zhao looked around and said with a smile, "Old Marshal, your granddaughter discovered that there was something wrong with the food at Baiweizhai. Not only did she help the Crown Prince catch the perpetrators, she also treated and prescribed medicine for the poisoned people. Her contribution is truly invaluable."

"When the Emperor learned of this, he was extremely pleased. During the morning court session, he personally praised the young lady as a miracle doctor and even gave her many rewards!"

"The Emperor also said that you, the old marquis, have been well-educated and have made great contributions to the country. He also gave the old marshal many rewards, which I have brought with me this time."

Everyone in the capital city knew about Baiweizhai's affairs.

The people present had also heard of the name of the little miracle doctor.

Although they themselves were not poisoned, something bad always happened to their relatives and friends.

And if the young doctor hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with Baiweizhai, wouldn't they have been poisoned if they had gone to Baiweizhai to eat in the future?

In this case, they should be more grateful to the little miracle doctor.

They wanted to express their gratitude before, but they didn’t know where to find anyone, so they could only worry in their hearts.

But they never imagined that the little miracle doctor they wanted to thank so much was the delicate little girl in front of them.

So what were they doing just now?

They actually criticized the young miracle doctor to his face for his bad character and spoke ill of him to his face.

Some people feel regret in their hearts.

Some people have already raised their hands and slapped themselves hard.

His face was full of self-blame and guilt.

The people nearby saw it and looked over eagerly, "I can't do it myself, can you slap me?"

That person had never expected that he would hear such a request from someone else in his lifetime.

After the surprise, his eyes were filled with excitement, and his hands were raised, eager to try.

Eunuch Zhao had been smiling just now, but when he saw that Marshal Wen was slow to speak, he began to get anxious.

"Old Marshal, what do you think... should we go in and receive the reward?"

Marshal Wen shook his head and said, "There's no rush to accept the reward. There's another more important matter right now."

"Oh, my old marshal! Is there anything more important than accepting the emperor's reward?"

Who is so brave?

He actually dared to say that his affairs were more important than the emperor's.

When he returns to report to the emperor, he will definitely make that person pay.

Marshal Wen looked at Lin Siqiong and Madam Hou, "It was them. They were blocking the entrance to the mansion, constantly saying that Youning was an unfilial and unfraternal person."

Eunuch Zhao's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood what Marshal Wen meant, and hurriedly put on a smile.

"Old Marshal, what are you talking about? This young doctor has saved so many people. She has done so much good at such a young age. Who dares to say she is unfilial?"

Lin Siqiong's expression changed again and again. She wanted to explain, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She really didn't expect that she would run into Eunuch Zhao who came to deliver the reward.

The emperor praised Yu Youning and the Wen family during the morning court session. Even if he wanted to send rewards, shouldn’t he have sent them early?

It's already lunch time, who would give rewards at this time?

Even if Lin Siqiong racked her brains, she would never have thought that this was the time Chu Huaixu had specifically instructed her to do.

Lin Siqiong smiled and looked at Eunuch Zhao, and hurriedly explained, "Eunuch, we are not here to cause trouble, but my parents miss their granddaughter, so we want to bring Youning back to stay for a few days.

Youning was young and didn't see the whole picture. He thought he and his mother had been wronged in the Marquis' Mansion and has been holding a grudge against them ever since. He's unwilling to go back and visit them, which is why they started arguing..."

"Aunt, you're talking nonsense!" Yu Youning looked at Lin Siqiong angrily. "Last time, it was my grandfather who insisted on marrying my mother off to someone else and wouldn't let me continue studying at the Imperial College. My mother was so angry that she took me away. Is this all a misunderstanding? Isn't this an injustice?"

"Since Auntie said this wasn't a grievance, then why didn't Grandfather arrange for Auntie to marry someone else? Why did he let Li'er study at the Imperial College?"

Yu Youning frowned, thought seriously for a while, and suddenly realized.

"I understand! Grandfather is biased!"

Every time Yu Youning spoke, Lin Siqiong's brows twitched.

She subconsciously looked towards Eunuch Zhao, and sure enough, she saw that the smile on Eunuch Zhao's face faded, and the look in his eyes became meaningful.

Eunuch Zhao is the chief steward of the imperial palace and the emperor's most trusted personal advisor.

If he went back and reported all these things to the emperor, what would the emperor do?

Wouldn't that make you hate the Marquis' Mansion even more?

If you hate Li'er because of this, then you will end up with nothing.

Lin Siqiong's mind was racing, and just as she was about to continue explaining, she heard the Marquis's wife beside her speak.

"Alright, Youning, let's not talk about these things anymore. Didn't we explain it clearly before? It was just a misunderstanding. Why do you keep bringing it up? You shouldn't be so young and hold grudges, and you shouldn't learn to bring up old scores..."

Yu Youning tilted his head. "Since it's an old account, why can't we look back on it? What if we don't look back on it and forget about it over time?"

Her grandmother said that as long as someone owed them a debt, even if it was only a penny, it had to be collected.

The Marquis's wife opened her mouth but couldn't utter anything.

Lin Siqiong also wanted to explain, but Yu Youning didn't give her time.

"Aunt, when my grandfather and I just came back, we saw my uncle! He was sitting in a carriage, holding hands with a beautiful aunt. Who is that aunt? Do you know her?"

"What?" Lin Siqiong looked at Yu Youning in disbelief, "You can't joke about this."

Marshal Wen sneered, "Would Youning joke with you about something like this?"
