After coming out of Donglaishun, Jiang Mingzhi had been worried. When he arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion, he saw Chu Muchi's dark face that looked like the King of Hell, and he couldn't help but be frightened.
"Wang... Didn't the emperor's uncle get enough rest?"
After the greetings, she asked politely, but as expected, Chu Muchi did not answer her.
"Should I practice the same thing today as yesterday?"
She wanted to find an excuse to leave. There was a kind of pressure in the room that made her feel suffocated even from ten feet away. Her back was tense. Seeing that Chu Muchi didn't say anything, she took the initiative to ask about today's homework.
Seeing that she looked fine, Chu Muchi's face became even gloomier.
"I think yesterday's training was a bit too easy. You have an exceptional physique and can't be compared to others. Today, follow yesterday's training and double it."
Jiang Mingzhi was petrified on the ground, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Muchi's face, he immediately gave up this dangerous idea.
The animal instinct of seeking profit and avoiding harm told her that if she wanted to stay safe, she had better not provoke this man again.
She bowed and took her leave, but she was very confused in her heart. How had she offended Chu Muchi that he wanted to treat her like this?
Jiang Mingzhi is not a god after all. She was exhausted yesterday and had to double her training today. Her body was delicate and kept in seclusion, so how could she withstand such intense training? Finally, while running around the palace, she fainted due to exhaustion.
The palace physician arrived quickly. Jiang Mingzhi knew medicine and knew the condition of her own body, so when the physician said that she needed to rest for two days, otherwise she would suffer from strain, she smiled knowingly.
"Are you sure?"
Chu Muchi's low voice suddenly sounded at the door. Jiang Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong. Didn't this man go to court? Why was he still in the mansion now?
When the court doctor heard the voice, he knelt on the ground as usual before he could even see who was coming.
"Your Highness!" The court physician saluted respectfully, then replied without raising his head, "Miss Jiang has never taken good care of her health. If you torture her like this now, I'm afraid it will easily damage her health and bring disaster to her offspring."
Facing Chu Muchi's suspicious gaze, Jiang Mingzhi blinked, squeezed out two tears, and said pitifully: "It's okay, I can still go on. I just hope that Your Highness will not vent his anger on others."
As she spoke, she was about to get up from the bed. After taking two shaky steps, she fell sideways into Qingtang's arms. Qingtang was heartbroken. While supporting Jiang Mingzhi, he pleaded with Chu Muchi: "Your Highness, I know you have good intentions and want to teach our young lady martial arts and self-defense, but the young lady has always been weak and has been taking medicine for many years. I am afraid she can't withstand such a tempering. I beg Your Highness to have mercy on our young lady!"
These words were quite bold, and the court doctor kneeling on the ground broke into a sweat after hearing them. This old woman was too bold, she dared to say anything!
The room was dead silent, with an ominous feeling as if a storm was about to come.
Jiang Mingzhi originally just wanted to deal with Chu Muchi, but she didn't expect that he seemed to want to focus a lot of energy on her. If this goes on, she is afraid that she will have to do nothing and can only fight wits and courage with Chu Muchi in Prince Yong's Mansion!
She was deliberately acting delicate and fragile because Chu Muchi hated women who acted like this the most. He would definitely be disgusted by her behavior. Who would want to see someone they dislike all day long? This way, she would have some time to do her own things.
Chu Muchi raised the corner of his mouth with a smile, looking at Jiang Mingzhi like a thousand-year-old fox, which made Jiang Mingzhi feel a chill on his back, as if a murderous arrow was coming towards him at any time.
"What did I say yesterday that you can't remember?"
Jiang Mingzhi's eyes rolled, and her mind quickly recalled what Chu Muchi said, what he said, and where... Suddenly, she remembered that Chu Muchi seemed to ask her to wait for him to come back after practicing yesterday, right?
But she thought at the time that Chu Muchi was a busy man and might not have time to pay attention to her. If she just left, it should be fine. Besides, she had to go to her aunt's house, so she didn't think much about it. Could it be that Chu Muchi was angry because of this?
Jiang Mingzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and the word "unbelievable" was almost written on his face.
"Cough cough..." Chu Muchi coughed twice against his lips, revealing an embarrassed look for the first time. Jiang Mingzhi rubbed his eyes, thinking that he must have seen it wrong. He blinked again, and Chu Muchi's once noble face had returned to calmness, without any trace of embarrassment.
"Alright, I've made a mistake."
Chu Muchi looked up at the court physician and told him to write a prescription. Then he left without saying a word to Jiang Mingzhi.
Jiang Mingzhi was a little confused by Chu Muchi. Why was he like a grumpy child? Didn’t she just not wait for him yesterday?
Jiang Mingzhi couldn't help but shake her head. She never thought that Chu Muchi would care about these trivial details.
But after this incident, Chu Muchi never tormented her like this again, which made Jiang Mingzhi feel relieved.
Jinyihou Mansion.
At this time, many people were gathered in front of the gate of Jinyihou Mansion, watching and talking about something, which attracted more and more people to stop and watch.
"Bah! Who the hell are you? How dare you call yourself our Marquis's wife!"
The old woman at the door pinched her waist and spat at the ragged figure on the ground, "If you are the Marquis's wife, then I am the Duke's wife. You really don't know your place!"
As he said that, he kicked the woman, who fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch". Her hair and face were disheveled, like a lion dog that had not been taken care of for a long time. She was as sloppy as she could be.
"Bitch, when I get back home, I'll beat you to death with sticks!"
Feng had never suffered such humiliation before, but these short-sighted people were afraid that they would not be able to recognize her face. She could only curse angrily and look forward to meeting other people in the Marquis' Mansion, even if it was Jiang Mingzhi.
But unexpectedly, just as Jiang Mingzhi's carriage was about to enter the Chuihua Gate from the side door, he heard a commotion outside and sent Qingtang to inquire. Qingtang came back with a strange look on his face: "A woman claiming to be Feng has had a conflict with the maids in the mansion, and now quite a few people are watching the fun."
Hearing Qingtang's words, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Didn't you see clearly?"
Qingtang explained: "No, miss, that woman's face is covered with wounds, and her appearance cannot be seen at all."
Jiang Mingzhi frowned upon hearing this, "Go and bring the person into the mansion and have someone inform father."
This is in front of the marquis's mansion, how can such a commotion happen?
She wasn't trying to protect the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, she just didn't want to cause any more trouble so that she wouldn't have to devote her energy to dealing with it later.
