Chapter 429: Seeing Through But Not Saying It

Wen Zhenyi was calm now: "I don't know if I'm rebelling against the will of heaven or not. I only know that women in this era are just appendages of men, nothing more than playthings that they can summon and dismiss at will."

Feng Hanhe was a little embarrassed: "I say, girl, why do you have such a sharp tongue when we meet?"

"I didn't say anything about you, why do you have to take it personally?"

Feng Hanhe was so angry that he picked up the thing in his hand and was about to throw it at her.

"Your Majesty, if this hits her, she will probably get a bloody head. Princess Jingle hasn't recovered yet." A Yu's voice came from the darkness.

Feng Hanhe looked at Wen Zhenyi, who had become much weaker, and then put the things in his hand back: "Are you feeling better?"

"That's all. I need to raise it a little longer."

Feng Hanhe looked at Feng Qianlan: "Didn't the child come with you?"

"Here they are. We were in a hurry to get to the palace so we didn't bring them with us. Now these two guys are being very naughty."

"Bring it to me tomorrow."

"yes."

Feng Hanhe looked at Wen Zhenyi again and said, "Bring your family tomorrow as well, and bring all your family members to the palace. We will just have a family dinner, without anyone else."

"Then you can enjoy the cooking of the royal chef."

Feng Hanhe covered her forehead with her hands in pain. The imperial chef's cooking skills were not as good as hers. If she asked them to come for dinner tomorrow, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?

"You just arrived today, so go back to the Princess's Mansion and rest first. Zhongli Zhuang and Zhongli Bu are both in your Princess's Mansion, you will be able to see them when you go back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Hanhe looked at Feng Qianlan: "Qianlan, are you going back to your princess residence, or living with this girl?"

"I live with Yi Yi, otherwise there would be no one to help me take care of the child."

Feng Hanhe thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come to the palace tomorrow? I'll go to the Princess's residence so that you won't feel uncomfortable coming to the palace. It's settled. I still have memorials to review, so you guys can go back." After saying that, he drove them out without caring about their reactions.

Feng Qianlan came out of the imperial study and looked at Wen Zhenyi: "What happened to my father?"

"What else can I do? I just want to go to the Princess's Mansion and eat and drink for free."

Feng Qianlan burst out laughing: "But to be honest, the imperial chef's cooking is not as delicious as yours, and the variety of dishes is not as great as yours."

"We see through it but don't say it out loud. He also has to save face."

Feng Hanhe heard every word of their conversation, and he was so angry that he wanted to throw things at the two girls again.

After the two came out of the palace, Feng Qianlan returned to the Princess's Mansion first. Wen Zhenyi was worried about Meng Caidie, so he went to the Meng Mansion first.

Most of the people in the Meng Mansion were brought from the town, and they all knew her: "Princess Jingle."

"Has the doctor arrived?"

"Just arrived a while ago."

"Take me to your young lady's yard."

"Come with me."

When Wen Zhenyi arrived at the yard, he saw Xiaoyi sitting alone in the yard: "Xiaoyi, why are you here?"

"Mom fainted, and my grandfather and the others wouldn't let me in, saying there were too many people and I'd be in the way."

Wen Zhenyi knew that the Meng family was transferring their anger to Xiaoyi: "It's okay, Auntie will go in and take a look. You go sit under the eaves. It's too cold here. Auntie will come out and talk to you later."

"Aunt, is my mother really okay?"

Wen Zhenyi patted his head and said, "It will be fine."

Xiaoyi let go of her hand and obediently ran to sit under the eaves.

Wen Zhenyi then entered Meng Caidie's room. When a group of people saw her coming in, they wanted to bow: "Forget it."

Mrs. Meng has now burst into tears. Lord Meng and his son both have faces full of self-blame. How could they not realize that this family is such a bunch of bastards?

Wen Zhenyi walked up to Lord Meng and said, "You shouldn't transfer your anger to Xiaoyi."

Lord Meng looked at Wen Zhenyi and said, "When I saw him, I remembered the bad things his father did to my daughter."

"His father is his father. He is also the person your daughter gave birth to at all costs to protect."

Lord Meng fell silent. He knew that he shouldn't vent his anger on his grandson, but when he saw him and then looked at his daughter lying in bed, uncertain whether she was alive or dead, he just couldn't get over it.

"Master Meng, in the final analysis, it was you who failed to investigate thoroughly that caused this tragedy today. If you hadn't listened to the matchmaker, how could you have been in such a disaster today?"

Madam Meng seemed to come to her senses and rushed to Master Meng's side and beat him up: "I didn't agree to marry my daughter so far away in the first place. You insisted that this person was a relative of your concubine Liu, and his character and family background were impeccable."

Lord Meng is also very aggrieved now: "I, I didn't know it would be like this."

"If anything happens to our daughter, I will definitely divorce you." Mrs. Meng was furious. She had endured it for so many years for the sake of her three children, but she never expected that in the end she would harm her own daughter.

"Mom, calm down." Meng Yongchun didn't know what to do when he saw his parents like this.

"How can you ask me to calm down? The person lying there is your own sister."

"All of you get out." Court Judge Song drove them away directly.

Wen Zhenyi did not stop them and let them go out to calm down.

Shi Xuan watched quietly from the side. This was a rare learning opportunity.

After Song Yuanpan finished taking the patient's pulse, he asked his colleagues to take his pulse as well: "Take a look, all of you."

Wen Zhenyi walked up to him and bowed, "President Song, how is Caidie?"

Court Judge Song turned to look at Meng Caidie lying on the bed and said, "Let's wait for the other doctors to finish taking my pulse."

Wen Zhenyi waited quietly by the side until all the imperial doctors had finished taking the patient's pulse.

Court Judge Song called them over and said, "Tell us what you think."

"Miss Meng's body has been hollowed out. Even if she takes supplements, it will be in vain."

"Now I can only rely on medication to keep myself alive. I live one day at a time."

Court Judge Song looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any other different opinions?"

"President Song, may I try your ancestral acupuncture?"

"The risk is too great. Her health is too poor right now. If anything goes wrong, she might not be able to make it."

Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and asked, "Can I use diet therapy to adjust my body to a state where I can hold on?"

Court Judge Song looked at Wen Zhenyi and asked, "Princess Jingle, are you sure?"

"I don't know. I can only try my best."

"If I can get her out of bed and walk around the yard a few times within ten days, I'd give it a try. Otherwise, I'll have to keep her alive with medication. As for how long, we can't give you a definite answer."

"Okay." Wen Zhenyi also wanted to take a gamble and looked at Meng Caidie on the hospital bed.

She closed her eyes, but tears still rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She knew she had heard what her parents had just said.

Eunuch Mo was the last to leave: "Princess Jingle, are you really sure?"

"No, but I don't want Xiaoyi to be without a mother."
