"Fuck you! I think you're the one who deserves to be soaked!"
The curses that Old Madam Huang heard today were more than she had heard in her entire life.
Her eyes were blazing with anger, and she staggered as she addressed the renowned physician, "Someone come here!"
"This commoner has no respect for rank and has shown disrespect to this Lady of the County. Seize her and give her fifty slaps!"
No sooner had Old Madam Huang finished speaking than a servant brought by the Huang clan said "excuse me" to Marquis Anding and then swarmed forward to seize the Divine Physician Rihua.
Hearing Old Madam Huang's increasingly presumptuous manner, and even her presumptuous behavior of disrespecting her master, he was deeply impressed.
For Song Xizhi, being insulted by her was even more infuriating.
Song Xizhi's face was gloomy. She slightly raised her hand, and all her personal guards appeared to protect her master.
"I am a rank-holding judge. Let's see who dares to step forward!"
When Old Madam Huang saw this, she was so angry that she took a few steps back. She never expected that even Marquis Anding and Madam He would not dare to contradict her.
On the contrary, this Song Xizhi is so disobedient to me!
She had lived a smooth and successful life, and this was the first time someone had ever disobeyed her like this!
She was a defiled woman, abandoned by the Crown Prince, and even worse than a concubine!
Then Old Madam Huang sneered, tapped her cane heavily, and spoke again: "A court judge with a rank?"
"I am a second-rank county princess, and today I will teach you the rules of the palace!"
"Guards, bring Song Xizhi before me and let this old woman teach her what it means to be innocent and what it means to have any shame!"
Madam He was the first to stand up, and Marquis Anding frowned at the same time. "We're all family. Song Xizhi is now the first female official in Daqian. It's not good for the old lady to treat her like this!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, intending for all the servants to leave.
But when Lady Huang was thwarted for the first time, she was relentless. She smiled slightly at Marquis Anding and said, "I'm afraid it's not too much to ask a fourth-rank deputy judge to come before me and kowtow."
After saying this, she waved her hand and ordered her men to bring Song Xizhi to her: "Guards! Bring her to me and make her kneel!"
Marquis An Ding swallowed hard, and the face of the Divine Physician Ri Hua was already cold and hard.
If this old coffin-bearer were to rely on his age and demand that Song Xizhi kowtow, then it would be perfectly legitimate.
The divine physician, Rihua, thought expressionlessly as he pulled a packet of powder from his sleeve with his red fingernails and stepped forward in place of Song Xi.
But just then, a hurried report came from outside:
"Master! Master!"
"An imperial edict has arrived! An imperial edict has arrived! The eunuch is ordering everyone in the Marquis's mansion to go out and receive it!"
