Seeing that the housekeeper and others did not move, Lady Dingguo, Liu Meihui, became even more furious and directly swept the medicine bottle on the table to the ground.
The porcelain bottle fell to the ground with a crisp sound of breaking, and the pills scattered all over the floor. The maids and servants beside her immediately stepped forward and stepped on the pills a few times, crushing them into pieces.
Liu Meihui roared, "Butler, what are you waiting for? Throw him out."
Xiao Zhensheng grabbed Liu Meihui and said, "Meihui, what are you doing? Doctor Rong is the doctor I hired to treat A Jian."
"Xiao Zhensheng, you are confused. Where did you find this unknown country bumpkin to treat Ajian? Did you find out everything? You just invited him in without authorization. What if he is a liar and harms Ajin? What will happen?"
Liu Meihui said angrily, "Hurry up and tell them to get out, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"I asked Dr. Rong to come after I had investigated thoroughly. Meihui, please stop making trouble." Xiao Zhensheng explained in a gentle voice, but Liu Meihui didn't listen at all.
"Okay, okay, you guys are doing everything behind my back now. You think I'll hurt A Jian, right?" Liu Meihui looked heartbroken. "You actually trust strangers and don't trust me..."
"Madam~" Liu Meihui held her forehead and fell backwards. The maids and servants beside her screamed and quickly supported her.
The old woman said angrily, "Duke, do you really want to make your wife sad because of a few swindlers? Your wife has sought medical treatment everywhere for the Second Young Master, and they are all famous doctors."
When Xiao Zhensheng saw his wife fainted, his heart softened immediately, "Quick, call a doctor."
"No need." Liu Meihui slowly opened her eyes and said tearfully, "Duke, I'm doing this for our son."
The three of them watched her performance and wanted to applaud her. She acted so realistically.
Ah Mu was furious, and looking at the debris scattered on the ground, he felt heartbroken. These pills were made by Linlang herself, who had personally selected the finest herbs and made them herself. How could they have wasted Linlang's hard work like this?
Su Nanting was so angry that he stood up and said, "Duke Dingguo's mansion is really good at hospitality. I have learned a lot today. Linlang's medicine is worth a thousand gold coins. Three bottles cost three thousand taels. Duke Dingguo, please send someone to deliver it as soon as possible."
"Since the Duke Dingguo Mansion despises us so much, then we can't stay any longer. Linlang, Amu, let's go."
Su Nanting felt sorry for his daughter and disliked Liu Meihui's attitude. He snorted coldly and walked up to Linlang. "Some people look down on others. We won't argue with her. Let's go home."
"Yeah." Linlang didn't expect Liu Meihui to come out to disrupt the situation at this time. She was so vicious. She didn't allow her to treat A Jian. Did she want him to die of illness?
She was not angry. Why should she be angry with a bad person? She would get her retribution sooner or later.
Amu looked at her apologetically, and she shook her head slightly, "Get your things, let's go."
"Yeah." Amu slung over his shoulder the medicine box and walked out holding Linlang's hand. They also had tempers and were not here to be bullied, so they left without saying goodbye to Duke Dingguo.
Before leaving, Su Nanting did not forget to mock Xiao Zhensheng, "Duke Dingguo, marry a virtuous wife. With such a virtuous wife, no matter how many sons you have, they will not be able to withstand the abuse."
Xiao Zhensheng's face flushed and paled as he chased after them. "Marquis Anchang, Doctor Rong, this is all a misunderstanding. I apologize. My wife has been ill for a long time, and her personality has changed drastically. She was concerned about the children, so she did something irrational. It's all my fault for not handling it well. I'm truly sorry."
"Duke Dingguo, I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but you're so old and can't even handle such a simple matter. How could you, Duke Dingguo, do such a humiliating thing? We won't dare to visit you next time."
Su Nanting lectured Xiao Zhensheng unhappily, "Duke Dingguo, if you can't even take care of your family, how can you be a general? You're just a joke."
He was not polite at all. If Liu Meihui was a man, he would definitely give him a good beating if he dared to humiliate his daughter. Seeing Xiao Zhensheng following closely, still saying sorry, Su Nanting was furious. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Su Nanting narrowed his eyes and suddenly stopped. Xiao Zhensheng was not careful and almost bumped into him. Before he could steady his feet, he was swept to the ground by Su Nanting's sweeping kick.
Seeing Xiao Zhensheng fall to the ground in a mess, Su Nanting laughed happily and walked out of the main courtyard with a proud step.
Linlang and Amu were both shocked by the Marquis' father's actions. They felt a little relieved and smiled at each other, not as angry as before.
Xiao Zhensheng was stunned. He didn't expect Su Nanting to attack him by surprise. If it were usual, he would definitely fight back. But today he was in the wrong, so he let it go.
As soon as he got up, he heard the butler calling out urgently, "Duke, the second young master has fainted."
The servant inside was calling out "Young Master" and the place was in chaos.
Su Nanting, Linlang, and Amu paused, and when they looked back, Xiao Zhensheng had already disappeared into the sky. He quickly flew over with Xiao Yujian in his arms, "Doctor Rong, please save my son."
Linlang and Amu were about to rush forward anxiously when they suddenly saw Xiao Yujian's lowered hand waving gently at them. They breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the boy was pretending to faint.
Ah Mu held Linlang in his arms, "Madam, we are just swindlers from the countryside. We dare not treat the second son of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. If anything happens, we can't afford the consequences. Let's go home."
Before Xiao Zhensheng could even begin to apologize or plead, Xiao Yujian slowly regained consciousness and said weakly, "Father, my life is worthless and I will die sooner or later. Please don't make things difficult for Doctor Rong and the others."
Tears welled up in Xiao Yujian's eyes. "My life was given to me by my mother. Since she doesn't want me to live anymore, I should give my life back to her."
After hearing what his son said, Xiao Zhensheng felt extremely distressed. His wife had always been harsh on their youngest son. He saw the disgust in her eyes, but he just didn't say anything.
The younger son's condition worsened, partly because of a mental illness stemming from his wife's indifference, alienation, and disgust.
At this moment, Xiao Zhensheng made up his mind, "Ajian, you won't die. I won't let you die. Don't listen to your mother. She's sick and confused. Come on, I'll take you to Dr. Rongshen's house. You'll be treated and recuperating there from now on. No one can disturb you."
Xiao Zhensheng held Xiao Yujian in front of Linlang and Amu, "I apologize for my previous offenses. I beg you to forgive me, Doctor Rong. I will do anything for your forgiveness. Now, I only beg you to save my Ah Jian. He has suffered so much. He is only fourteen years old..."
As he was speaking, Xiao Zhensheng choked up and couldn't continue. With red eyes, he pleaded with Linlang and Amu.
Without waiting for Linlang and Amu's consent, Xiao Zhensheng heard footsteps behind him and gave the Xiao Yujian to Su Nanting, "Take him away, please."
Su Nanting looked at Xiao Yujian in his arms. Xiao Yujian also looked at him pitifully. He immediately softened his heart and said, "I'll help you this time because I feel sorry for you. If anyone goes to Linlang to make trouble, I won't forgive you. Humph~"
