Chapter 384: If you can’t speak, you can shut up

Xie Yingmian looked at Lady Ningguo coldly: "If you don't know how to speak, you can shut up."

"If you won't shut up, I can shut you up."

Lady Ningguo did not expect Xie Yingmian to scold her in public.

She has been respected everywhere over the years, and even the queen is friendly to her when she meets her.

Now, she was being scolded in public by a junior named Xie Yingmian.

Having completely lost her dignity and face, Lady Ningguo was so angry that her face turned pale: "Princess Ling, please don't bully others by taking advantage of your power."

Xie Yingmian laughed: "Old lady, you are really confused and senile."

"This princess just asked you to shut up. Is shutting up bullying?"

"If you want to see how I, the princess, bully others by taking advantage of my power, I can show you how to do it."

Lady Ningguo was extremely angry.

She pointed at Xie Yingmian and was speechless.

"Mother, could you please stop making trouble?" Master Ning frowned. "Miss Wen Ge is saving people."

Lady Ningguo asked angrily, "Why are you so ungrateful?"

"Is she saving someone?"

"Is there such a way to save people?"

"I've eaten more salt than she's eaten rice, and I've never seen anyone being saved by pressing their heart."

Xie Yingmian chuckled: "You mean, you've been eating for nothing all these years?"

Lady Ningguo was stunned for a moment before realizing that Xie Yingmian was scolding her.

She is very angry.

But Xie Yingmian is Princess Ling, the master.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't curse back.

Lady Ningguo looked at Xie Yingmian with disgust in her eyes: "Princess Ling, since you said your people are saving people, if anything happens to the old man..."

Xie Yingmian interrupted her and said coldly, "First, Duke Ning is already dead, and your Ning family has already set up a mourning hall. This is something you all acknowledge. Who gave you the courage to try to scam us?"

"Secondly, my men are rescuing Duke Ning. If you're not blind, you would have seen Wen Ge extracting the Gu just now. I'm not exaggerating, but the doctors in the Imperial Hospital may be accomplished in medical skills, but when it comes to extracting Gu, they're no match for Wen Ge alone."

"Wen Ge has been doing his best to save people."

"First, you're not a royal physician, and second, you don't know any medical skills, yet all you talk about is women. What's the matter? In your eyes, all other women are just like you, useless people who only know how to sit around and wait for death?"

"I'm warning everyone in the Ning family."

"If Duke Ningguo is alive, it's all thanks to Wen Ge."

"If Duke Ningguo dies, it means his fate has come to an end. It is God's will."

"If you want to use this to morally blackmail us, we won't be polite to you."

Xie Yingmian's words were too sharp.

Lady Ningguo was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she was shaking.

Others felt that Xie Yingmian was going a bit too far and wanted to say something.

Looking at Master Ning's frightening expression, he finally didn't dare to say a word.

Master Ning's face was frighteningly cold: "Mother, you should rest."

"What are you all standing there for? Can't you see the old lady is tired? Take her back and let her rest."

Lady Ningguo said bitterly, "Are you helping outsiders too?"

Master Ning was too lazy to pay attention to her.

He looked at the maids and servants beside him and said, "Since you don't understand what I'm saying, I'll sell them all tomorrow."

The maids and nannies did not dare to disobey Master Ning, and forcibly escorted Lady Ningguo away.

Master Ning was very sorry: "My mother is also confused because of her concern."

Xie Yingmian said meaningfully: "Is it because of concern or because he wants to interrupt the rescue? Lord Ning should make his own judgment."

Master Ning was startled.

These episodes did not disturb Wen Ge.

Wen Ge didn't even notice what was happening around her.

She focused all her attention on saving people.

A long time passed.

Duke Ningguo suddenly coughed.

Coughing means that your breath is recovering.

The recovery of breath means that the person is saved.

Wen Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her head and looked at the nearest Master Ning, her eyebrows curved: "Ning, Master, it's done."

Master Ning heard this strange name.

In an instant, distant memories returned to my mind.

He wants to come!

That year, my father accidentally contracted an epidemic while on an inspection tour in another place.

The epidemic was so severe that the doctors nearby were helpless.

At that time, they were located near Mingyue City, and they heard that there was a family of doctors named Cao in Mingyue City.

The Cao family is quite famous in Mingyue City, and they place their hopes on the Cao family.

In order not to affect ordinary people.

He lived in a farm with his father, and was diagnosed and prescribed medicine by the Cao family.

At first, the medicine prescribed by the Cao family was completely inappropriate for my father's condition. His condition worsened and he was dying. His condition was critical.

He was extremely anxious and made harsh remarks to the Cao family.

The next day, the Cao family sent a little girl about ten years old.

The little girl deliberately contracted the disease and asked the Cao family to test the medicine.

After trying for three days and three nights, the Cao family finally found a life-saving prescription.

My father was finally rescued and his life was safe.

After my father learned about the Cao family's righteousness, he took care of them in many ways. The Cao family also did well, and many of their children entered the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Because the Cao family was their father's savior, they have become quite close to the Cao family over the years.

As for the little girl who had tested medicine for her father, he had seen her many times.

He even intended to match his youngest son with the little girl.

That's not right.

Master Ning suddenly thought, if this girl named Wen Ge was the little girl who saved her father that year, then what about the daughter of the Cao family?

Could it be that Wen Ge was originally a maid in the Cao family, and in order to gain wealth and glory, the Cao family deliberately let the maid pretend to be a young lady to test the medicine for her father?

This is not right either.

Back then, Wen Ge could read and write, was knowledgeable in medicine, had slender fingers, and behaved in a well-mannered manner. She was obviously a lady from a wealthy family.

He does have some insight.

So, what went wrong?

Master Ning couldn't figure it out.

Wen Ge saw that Master Ning was in a daze and knew that he had remembered the past.

According to the princess, it is not a good deal if you are chasing after it.

She didn't need to prove anything, she just needed to arouse Master Ning's curiosity, and Master Ning would investigate it himself.

The truth that the Ning family investigated themselves was much more effective than if she had said it herself.

"Ning, Young... Master?" Wen Ge called out again.

Master Ning came back to his senses: "I'm listening."

Wen Ge pointed to his throat, shook his head, and gestured as if he wanted to write.

She wrote down what she needed to do next and what she should pay attention to on a piece of paper and handed it to Master Ning.

Master Ning: "Is your throat uncomfortable?"

Wen Ge shook his head, retreated after accomplishing his mission, and hid beside Xie Yingmian.

Xie Yingmian explained: "This girl's experience is quite rough."

"She was poisoned and became mute and deaf. I cured her of the poison, but she hasn't recovered yet. She has difficulty speaking and can write faster than she can speak."

Master Ning was worried.

The Cao family is not a small family.

Before the Ning family supported the Cao family, the Cao family was already a big family in Mingyue City.

How could the girl from the Cao family be poisoned and made mute and deaf?

Does the Cao family know about this?
