Physician He stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration, "You are so young, yet you possess such medical skills; it is truly remarkable."
The young men's eyes immediately focused on Jiang Xue. Wasn't this the talented Miss Jiang from the capital? She even possessed medical skills that Physician He praised?
She's far better than that infamous Miss Jiang.
Miss Jiang saves people?
A blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse!
Jiang Jiaojiao noticed the intense gazes the young men were giving Jiang Xue, and clicked her tongue in amazement. As expected of the protagonist's halo, even though she was the one who saved the person, the halo belonged to her.
The Second Prince's gaze swept over Jiao Jiao, a hint of amazement in his eyes. He hadn't expected that this fatso could be so charming when dressed up.
Unfortunately, he was stupid.
He then looked at Jiang Xue and said approvingly, "I never imagined that Miss Jiang would possess such superb medical skills?"
This is the woman I want. She is not only beautiful and talented, but also possesses medical skills that even Physician Xu praised!
"I do not deserve such praise from Your Highness."
Jiang Xue thanked him politely, but her eyes glanced at the gentle and refined Fifth Prince standing next to the Second Prince.
Although the Second Prince is noble, his wife is not someone to be trifled with. Moreover... the Second Prince's abilities are far inferior to those of the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince's wife is bedridden.
In the story, the fifth prince was the one who ultimately reached the top.
The Second Prince made no attempt to hide his admiration for Jiang Xue, saying, "To receive such praise from Physician Xu, Miss Jiang is too modest."
The crowd stirred.
I've long heard that the Second Prince is infatuated with Miss Jiang, but Miss Jiang is pursuing him relentlessly. I wonder what amazing thing the "famous" Miss Jiang will do today.
To everyone's surprise, even though everyone was practically squeezing their eyes together, Jiang Jiaojiao remained completely still, not even glancing at the Second Prince.
Could it be that he was so humiliated by the Second Prince on the day of the Lantern Festival that he gave up?
The Fifth Prince, with an air of gentle elegance, glanced at Jiang Jiaojiao before settling on Jiang Xue, a warm smile on his face.
Jiang Xue immediately blushed and became even more humble, "It's a pity I couldn't help Young Master Thirteen. I'm still grateful to you, Sister, for today."
That's not how it works.
The second prince said disdainfully, "It's not that your previous rescue methods were effective; it's just that some people happened to be there."
He didn't believe that this stupid woman had any magical skills to save lives!
Jiang Xue was taken aback, but then she immediately understood!
That's right!
That must be it!
The storybook and the medical book can't be wrong, so it can only be a coincidence!
It must be that her treatment method was effective, and Jiang Jiaojiao's pressing and patting just happened to wake the person up.
Jiang Xue felt extremely wronged and resentful. It was clearly her achievement that was stolen by Jiang Jiaojiao.
The young masters beside him listened to what the Second Prince said.
They all nodded in agreement.
After all, Jiang Jiaojiao's reputation for being ignorant and incompetent was too deeply ingrained in people's minds.
"Nonsense!"
Jin almost sprayed the young masters' faces with the words "Bullshit!" "It was my Jiang Jiaojiao who saved the Thirteenth Young Master!"
He glared at Jiang Xue again: "It's one thing that you're not good at your craft, but why do you have to steal your sister's credit!"
Jiang Xue, tears streaming down her face, said, "My daughter doesn't have..."
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
Especially those young masters, their eyes were full of anger as they stared at Jin Shi and Jiang Jiaojiao. There was no doubt that they were the vicious stepmother and stepsister!
Jiang Jiaojiao quickly grabbed her mother.
No, no, no—
Don't give the main character a special halo!
Under the halo of the female protagonist, explanations are seen as cover-ups, as facts.
I was a living example in my past life.
Acting recklessly and courting death, lying down and doing nothing ensures peace!
The general's wife's eyes sharpened.
Patting Jiang Jiaojiao's hand, he said, "You saved my son, so you are a great benefactor of my General's Mansion!"
The twelfth young lady's oval face regained its radiance, and she nodded, "I only recognize you!"
She felt a connection with this Miss Jiang; she was much more adorable than that pretentious Miss Jiang the Second.
Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar Xiao Shier, Jiang Jiaojiao really wanted to give her a big hug. She truly deserved to be her ghost best friend!
The ladies around him were all shrewd and experienced women in the inner quarters, naturally different from the young masters who were blinded by tears.
They saw clearly who saved the person.
The insult "Grandma" still echoed in his ears, and his gaze as he looked at Jiang Jiaojiao and Jiang Xue became more thoughtful.
Jiang Xue's lowered eyes were filled with resentment.
All of this should have been hers!
Being the twelfth young lady's best friend and the savior of General Weiyuan's mansion is enough to elevate her status to a higher level!
Jiang Jiaojiao looked at General Weiyuan.
As Xiao Twelve once said, General Weiyuan refused to lend troops to the Fifth Prince and compete with the Second Prince. After the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, he was purged. Xiao Twelve died protecting the Thirteenth Prince, and her obsession turned into a ghost, which is how she became sisters with her.
Seeing that his wife and daughter were both supporting Jiang Jiaojiao, and knowing the truth, General Weiyuan laughed heartily and said, "Miss Jiang is kind-hearted and saved my son. This general will definitely reward her with a generous gift!"
"We have prepared a small gift for everyone to calm their nerves."
He then smiled at Jiang Jiaojiao and said, "Miss Jiang is a great benefactor of the General's Mansion. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Everyone was amazed at how lucky the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was.
Having become a great benefactor of General Weiyuan's mansion, anyone with a modicum of sense would know to refuse, in order to demonstrate their noble character and gain General Weiyuan's favor.
Jiang Jiaojiao originally just couldn't bear to see Xiao Shier sad.
But... seeing Jiang Xue's pale face and the envious, jealous, and hateful eyes around her, she felt that not asking for anything would actually do what they wanted.
then.
Jiang Jiaojiao slowly looked at the young men beside the general.
Several people were so frightened that they silently took a few steps back, fearing that Jiang Jiaojiao might take a liking to them and ask the general to arrange a marriage with the emperor.
Jiang Jingtian glared at Jiang Jiaojiao, his eyes filled with warning.
At such a time, it would be natural to politely decline in order to uphold the noble reputation of their noble household.
Jiang Lingtian stood behind the crowd, staring at Jiang Jiaojiao with a gloomy expression, wondering what kind of trouble she was up to.
Jiang Jiaojiao glanced at her two older brothers.
Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Jingtian's fierce expression, and he laughed, "Since the general values his promise so highly, I cannot refuse..."
Jiang Jingtian almost jumped up; he knew this guy was no pushover!
"I've heard that the general is strict in disciplining his troops, treating all soldiers, regardless of rank or status, equally, eating, drinking, and training alongside them. That just so happens—"
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with ill intent. "It just so happens that my eldest brother is only good for being strong and eating a lot. I wonder if the general could recruit him as a... cook?"
Whoosh—
A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, who looked at Jiang Jingtian with schadenfreude.
"What a ruthless woman!"
She actually sent her own brother to the army to become a cook.
Although the Jiang family has declined, it is still a marquis's mansion after all!
Jiang Jingtian was utterly astonished.
Being able to serve under General Weiyuan was certainly a dream come true, but to ask him, as the eldest son of a noble family, to serve as a cook was simply a disgrace!
"A cook?" General Weiyuan glanced at Jiang Jingtian meaningfully and smiled, "This general approves."
He patted Jiang Jingtian on the shoulder and said, "Go report to the military camp tomorrow!"
"This...this..."
Jiang Jingtian was conflicted; he really wanted to refuse.
However, he couldn't bring himself to speak when facing General Weiyuan, a figure he deeply admired.
At this moment, Jiang Jiaojiao's lips curled up slightly, and she said provocatively with a half-smile, "Brother, do you perhaps not like being a cook? How about becoming a city gate guard instead..."
"I'll go! I'll go tomorrow!"
Jiang Jingtian was afraid that Jiang Jiaojiao would make even more outrageous demands.
