Chapter 469 Anyone who dares not to give in will die!
"Song Yanxi, get out here!"
When Zhuang Shihan rushed back to the Duke's Mansion, Song Yanxi was in the room taking out the needle for Duke Jingguo.
He had many old injuries from previous battles, and his heart disease was caused by being trampled by a warhorse when he was young, a condition he luckily survived.
If he hadn't practiced martial arts for many years to strengthen his body, and his foundation was much better than that of ordinary people, he would have already...
As a daughter, Zhuang Shihan should not be unaware of his recent health condition.
You should not make a man angry and sad again and again for the sake of him. This is a taboo for people with heart disease.
As a doctor, Zhuang Shihan couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
Since she knew this and still did this, it only means that she never cared about Duke Jingguo's health.
To put it bluntly, she doesn't even care whether her father lives or dies.
If she is allowed to continue like this, even if her master were here today, he would not be able to save Duke Jingguo.
Song Yanxi increased her needle speed and shouted outside, "Ling'er, stop her!"
At the door, Qiu Ling was holding a peach branch picked from the yard and blocking the door, with an imposing manner that one man could hold his own against ten thousand.
If you don’t know her, you might think she is some peerless master.
If Zhuang Shihan hadn't recognized her face, she would have been frightened.
Her face darkened, "Xiao Ling'er, this is my home."
Qiu Ling frowned and said angrily, "Don't call me that. I don't know you."
Zhuang Shihan was instantly irritated and laughed. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Before, you kept calling me sister and wouldn't let go. It's only been a few months, and you don't even recognize me as your sister?"
"Bah! My mother only gave birth to me and my brother, so whose sister are you?"
When Qiu Ling thought about how she had thought she was a good person and treated her like an older sister, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to slap herself to death.
Her mother was right, her eyes were not very accurate at all!
No matter the reason, anyone who steals someone else's husband is shameless.
Not missing the disgust in her eyes, Zhuang Shihan stared at the closed door with a gloomy face, "Song Yanxi, you really are capable."
As soon as he returned to Beijing, he was busy winning people's hearts.
It was not enough for her to coax the little girl from the Qiu family into doing her bidding, she even set her sights on the old man from her family.
She didn't even think about the fact that she was the old man's only daughter and his lifeblood.
Not to mention going to his house and pretending to treat his illness, even if I really saved his life, it wouldn't change anything.
What father wouldn't protect his own daughter?
Even if she racked her brains, it would be in vain!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Shihan suddenly calmed down and asked Qiu Ling with a smile, "Xiao Ling'er, tell me, what benefits did that Song guy give you?"
Qiu Ling said with a cold face, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Zhuang Shihan let out a soft "tsk" and said quietly, "The little girl is so easy to coax. I don't even have to spend any money..."
Suddenly, her smile froze on her face.
If I'm not mistaken, the thing pinned on this girl's bun came from the palace.
Qiu Yuanzheng was an honest official. Even if his family had something given by the emperor, he would never allow his daughter to bring it out and show it off like this.
So this thing can only belong to Song Yanxi.
Zhuang Shihan snorted coldly, "Song Yanxi is willing to do that."
As soon as the words fell, the door opened.
Song Yanxi came out carrying a medicine box, and when she raised her eyes she met Zhuang Shihan's eyes that seemed to want to eat her.
She lowered her voice and said, "The Duke is still ill. Let's talk somewhere else."
"Song Yanxi, you take yourself too seriously. This is the Duke of Jingguo's residence, not your Princess's residence."
As Zhuang Shihan said this, she tried to force her way in.
Qiu Ling took advantage of her inattention and hit her hard on the back with the peach branch in her hand.
As he beat her, he said, "I'm doing this on behalf of the Duke, to teach you, an unfilial daughter, a lesson!"
Zhuang Shihan felt pain and grabbed the branch with her backhand and pulled it hard. Qiu Ling lost her balance and fell forward uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the old man reacted in time and took a few steps forward to support her, thus preventing the little girl from falling on her face.
Seeing him, Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed with joy, and she blurted out, "Uncle Zhuang!"
Zhuang Bo said coldly, "Your Highness is a noble princess. To address me like that is truly an insult to this old servant."
He turned to look at Qiu Ling and asked with concern, "Is Miss Qiu hurt?"
Qiu Ling shook her head with lingering fear and said gratefully, "Thank you very much for your help, old man."
She felt even more embarrassed when she thought that the Duke might have fainted because he was so angry that he vomited blood.
She originally wanted to use provocation, but now it seems that she can't escape a scolding when she gets home.
Seeing Uncle Zhuang's obvious discrimination, Zhuang Shihan realized something and asked with a grim expression, "Uncle Zhuang, how is my father?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Bo said in a distant tone, "Princess Shihan, you may not know that the Duke of our country summoned all the Zhuang family members the day after the princess joined the army and issued a document severing the father-daughter relationship with the princess."
Zhuang Shihan explained anxiously, "That was just something my father said in anger. You've been with him for many years..."
Zhuang Bo interrupted her, his eyes colder than she had ever seen them.
He said, "I know my Duke's temper best."
Without waiting for Zhuang Shihan to speak, he continued, "The princess has always disliked the Duke's many restrictions on you. Now that you are no longer bound by blood, it's time for the princess to seek the freedom you mentioned.
From now on, everything the princess says and does outside the palace has nothing to do with the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion."
"No, this is impossible..." Zhuang Shihan murmured, her face turning paler and paler.
The old man loved her the most. Even when she accidentally knocked over the candle and set it on fire in the ancestral hall while being punished to kneel, he only punished her by having her personally re-carve the tablets for all the ancestors.
Those uncles always said that the old man spoiled her. If he continued to indulge her like this, no man would dare to marry her in the future.
Whenever he heard these words, the old man would always stroke his beard and say with a smile: "I only have a daughter like this, so naturally I will do whatever she wants. Even if the sky falls, she still has her father to support her.
As for getting married, if she is willing, I will prepare a beautiful wedding dowry for her, or if she is willing to find a son-in-law, that is also possible."
The uncles and aunts thought he was unreasonable and therefore reduced their contact with their family, but the old man didn't care at all.
How could such a person be willing to sever the father-daughter relationship with her?
Zhuang Shihan stared at the closed door and shouted, "Dad, I know you are in there!"
Zhuang Bo's expression suddenly changed, and he stopped her, saying, "Princess, my master is still ill."
Thinking of his usual poor health, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but worry. She lowered her voice and said, "Uncle Zhuang, I know medical skills. Please let me go in and check on my father."
"Princess Yong'an has already treated the Duke, so I won't bother you any more."
"Uncle Zhuang!"
Zhuang Shihan glared at Song Yanxi fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "She's only read a few medical books. She might not even know all the herbs. What kind of illness can she cure?"
Thinking of something, her eyes suddenly turned fierce, "If my father gets hurt by her, can you bear the responsibility?"
After saying this, Zhuang Shihan pulled out the whip from her waist and swung it fiercely at the ground. "Anyone who dares not yield will die!"
