Just then, a man pulled an old doctor carrying a medicine box over. The man said to the old doctor, "This is our young master. He was hit by a carriage and injured his leg. Our young master says his leg is broken. Doctor Li, please take a look at him as soon as possible."

The doctor pretended to examine him and said, "Young Master Ming's leg is indeed broken. We should take him to the clinic immediately so I can treat him properly."

Zhang Zhaoci knew immediately that the doctor was in cahoots with these people, and said, "Doctor, this young master's leg is clearly fine, why are you saying that his leg is broken?"

The doctor glanced at Zhang Zhaoci and said, "How would a woman like you know anything about treating illnesses? Quickly step aside and find a door panel to carry Young Master Ming to my clinic."

Zhang Zhaoci sneered after hearing the doctor's words and said, "You think I don't know how to treat illnesses? I didn't see you when I was leading military doctors to save lives on the front lines, and I don't blame you for that. But this young master is clearly fine, yet you insist that his leg is broken. That's a big problem. Today I'm going to argue with you about whether this young master's leg is broken or not."

The doctor, probably feeling a bit guilty for helping someone commit perjury, looked closely at Zhang Zhaoci and saw a tall, beautiful middle-aged woman standing in front of him, her face full of confidence. Perhaps because she had encountered something that interested her, her face also showed a bit of seriousness and eagerness.

The doctor, somewhat intimidated, said in a bluffing tone, "So you're a doctor too. Doctors are compassionate, so don't waste my time trying to save this person."

After the doctor finished speaking, he said to the servants around Young Master Ming, "Quickly carry your young master and come with me."

Zhang Zhaoci watched as they carried the young master Ming onto a door panel, then hurriedly followed the doctor towards the clinic. This main street was the only way in and out of the city, and once it got congested, the Five City Garrison quickly came to direct traffic. Zhang Zhaoci watched the doctor and young master Ming walk away, then looked at the slowly dispersing crowd, and said to Xu Di, "Have someone go and tell your grandmother that we'll go and take a look. I think the boy's leg is fine. If he really tries to extort the Zhou family's daughter, then things will get complicated."

After Xu Di arranged for someone to speak with the old lady, he and Zhang Zhaoci followed the group forward, whispering as they walked, "This young master Ming is the youngest son of the Grand Tutor's daughter. He is good-for-nothing and of marriageable age. Your diagnosis just now should be correct. I think this is a trap set for the Zhou family's daughter. The Zhou family's daughter is currently looking for a husband. If this young master Ming sticks around, he might actually be able to force the Zhou family to marry their daughter into their family."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhaoci exclaimed in surprise, "How can the Ming family be so shameless? They actually did something so disgraceful!"

Xu Di said, "The young master of the Ming family has always been a bully who preys on men and women. Maybe people don't think he's shameless for doing such a thing. They might even think he's quite romantic."

Zhang Zhaoci said, "No, the Zhou family's daughter is such a good girl. We can't just stand by and watch her be pushed into a pit of fire. I don't believe that this old doctor can really deceive everyone."

Xu Di said, "The young master of the Ming family tried to bribe the doctor who was examining him, insisting that his leg was broken. He might actually succeed. But the doctor who was bribed is really despicable. He became an accomplice in framing an innocent girl."

Zhang Zhaoci said, "With me here, who would do such despicable things? But let me tell you, I can handle this, you don't need to. The Zhou family girl already has feelings for you, and if you save her again, she's a young girl with shallow thoughts. If she does something outrageous, it will be a disaster."

Xu Di said, "My dear mother, even at this point you can still think about these things. You really are my dear mother. I should really go with my father. This capital city is a place of trouble. Staying here will definitely not bring me any good things."

Zhang Zhaoci said, "No way, I'm counting on you to discipline those mischievous kids in your uncle's family. They're all so unruly, I can't handle them."

Xu Di said, "I think you're just using me as a firefighter. You dump any problems you can't handle on me. Look at all the things I do every day, is any of it something I truly want to do?"

The mother and daughter followed the doctor, muttering complaints all the way, and soon arrived at a rather inconspicuous clinic.

The clinic was located in a quiet alley with few people. Even from a distance, the aroma of herbs filled the air. Zhang Zhaoci took a sniff and said, "This is supposed to be a clinic that specializes in treating sprains and bruises. I wonder how skilled the doctors are."
