Granny Li suddenly jumped up, startling the onlookers.
These onlookers weren't fools; once they saw how lively and energetic Granny Li was, they quickly realized what was going on.
I know that Granny Li is probably faking illness to stage a self-inflicted injury, hoping to get the general's wife to compromise.
In that case, the diagnoses and prescriptions Dr. Jiang just gave are quite intriguing.
Jiang Xinrui's face was extremely ugly at this moment. She cursed Li Mama in her heart for being a fool. It was one thing for her to be stupid, but she also dragged Li Mama into this mess.
She now regrets it, regrets that she was blinded by greed and got involved with this mother and daughter. It's true what they say, it's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate.
If she hadn't given a diagnosis or prescribed any medication, that would have been one thing, but given the current situation, she couldn't explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
Thinking back on the words she had just spoken with such conviction, she felt her face burning with embarrassment and didn't have the courage to look at the onlookers who were now staring at her.
Yan Xiao clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook. Ignoring the furious Li Mama and the somewhat dumbfounded Qiao Jiaojiao, she smiled sweetly at Jiang Xinrui and said very patiently:
"Doctor Jiang, look, just as I said, with Li Mama's wretched life, she doesn't need any good medicine at all. Isn't this medicine enough to cure her and make her lively and energetic again?"
Yan Xiao sighed softly at this point, her tone filled with regret and a sense of disappointment at his lack of progress.
"I have long been obsessed with medicine and have wanted to learn the medical skills of Medicine King Valley. I heard that you have mastered the true teachings of the Medicine King Valley's Elder Yao, and I have always wanted to discuss medical skills with you."
But now it seems that after you went down the mountain, you devoted yourself to other men and returned everything you learned in Medicine King Valley to Master Yao.
Forgetting medical skills is one thing, but forgetting how to be a decent human being is another.
I wonder if he'll still be able to hold his head up in his coffin if he knew how you've been behaving these days, and whether he regrets choosing you as the successor of Medicine King Valley against everyone's wishes, between you and your senior brother.
"You, you're going too far!"
Yanxiao's words are so sharp; every sentence hits the nail on the head, and she always knows exactly where it hurts.
Jiang Xinrui felt she had never been so humiliated. Her face turned pale and then red, but she couldn't find any strong rebuttal. She could only bite the bullet and try to save face.
"Based on the pulse I just examined, my conclusion is correct. Now that Granny Li has woken up, she must have suffered a great shock. Such a thing is not impossible."
"Oh, I see?"
Yan Xiao stared at Jiang Xinrui with a half-smile, his tone full of disdain and mockery:
"Dr. Jiang's skill in sophistry far surpasses his medical expertise. It's just a pity that your words might fool a fool, but everyone knows the truth in their hearts."
As Yan Xiao spoke, she walked up to Jiang Xinrui, raised her hand and lightly patted Jiang Xinrui's shoulder, her tone gradually turning cold:
"I would like to advise Dr. Jiang to cherish his reputation and not to do anything unnecessary in the future. I have a bad temper and limited patience. If you provoke me again, you will have to bear the consequences."
Jiang Xinrui wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but when Yan Xiao patted her shoulder, she felt a chill on her back, which almost made her shiver.
She looked up at Yan Xiao, but because of the hat covering her face, she couldn't see Yan Xiao's expression or the way she looked at her.
Even though she couldn't see clearly, she instinctively felt that the woman must be beaming with smugness, and that her eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.
Although she was filled with resentment, she knew that staying would only bring her more humiliation. After giving Yan Xiao a look full of humiliation, she suppressed her anger and turned to leave.
Yan Xiao slowly withdrew her hand that had just patted Jiang Xinrui, and rubbed her fingers together intentionally or unintentionally. Her gaze at Jiang Xinrui's back was devoid of warmth, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Since Li Mama was provoked and went mad, she had been ignored and ridiculed, which made her very angry.
But after a while, she had become much more clear-headed and realized that she had done something wrong.
But things had already come to this, with so many people watching, the mother and daughter had no way out. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and throw a tantrum, otherwise, given Yanxiao's ruthlessness, they would really be homeless.
Thinking this, she plopped down on the ground, pounding the floor and wailing:
"This is outrageous! This is trying to drive this old woman to her death! Son, open your eyes and look! Your mother and your sister are being driven to their deaths!"
Seeing her mother like this, Qiao Jiaojiao didn't dare to hesitate. She suppressed her panic and quickly crawled to Li Mama's side, pitifully wiping away her tears.
Yan Xiao only looked away when she heard their commotion.
She didn't even intend to let go of Jiang Xinrui, who had the protagonist's halo, let alone these two cannon fodder.
She didn't want to waste any more words on them, so she ignored their wailing and turned to Butler Zhang, signaling him to get to work.
After receiving the order, Steward Zhang hurriedly opened the account book in his hand and began to read aloud all the financial assistance Shen Muzhi had provided to Granny Li and her daughter since the death of Qiao's son, as well as all the expenses incurred after Shen Muzhi brought them to the General's Mansion.
After the onlookers had almost finished processing what had happened, he continued to reveal everything that Granny Li and her daughter had done at the General's Mansion.
This includes how the general took advantage of his kindness to embezzle money from the servants in the mansion and line his own pockets, and how Qiao Jiaojiao tried every means to get close to the general every time he returned. In short, he didn't intend to give the mother and daughter any face at all.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt a chill run down her spine as she listened. She stared wide-eyed at Butler Zhang, wondering why this man, who had always been so respectful to them, would be so bold today.
He actually revealed such a secret to her in front of so many people. Isn't he afraid that she and her daughter will go back to the general for justice?
Thinking back to what she had said—that she and her mother did what they could at the general's mansion to repay him, but dared not see him too often because of the strict separation between men and women—she felt as if she had been slapped in the face.
But Steward Zhang didn't even glance at the mother and daughter, and continued talking about what the mother and daughter had done after arriving in Jiangbei, and the reason why the general sent them out of the general's mansion.
Finally, with a serious face, he concluded righteously:
"The reason you and your daughter were kicked out of the General's Mansion was because of your own greed, and it had nothing to do with the Madam. The Madam didn't have time to deal with you at all. It was all the General's will."
The general is merciful. Out of consideration for your sons, he has not truly abandoned you, but has instead prepared a way out for you.
Not only are you and your daughter ungrateful, but you are also ruining the reputation of the General's wife. How can the General's wife tolerate such a disloyal act?
Even so, the lady did not criticize you too harshly. She simply took your monthly allowance and told you to be self-reliant so that you would not be too idle and gossip outside.
As a result, you have completely disregarded the reputation of the General's Mansion and the kindness the General has shown you in the past, and have come to the gate of the General's Mansion to do such a shameless thing.
They even dared to try and force our General's wife to compromise! How shameless! How can our General's Mansion tolerate you any longer?
