Chapter 441: It was Goudan’s mother who kicked him
Zhuang Shihan came quickly, her eyes clearly filled with suspicion.
She frowned and asked, "You were fine last night, why are you not okay now?"
Realizing she had said the wrong thing, she met Lin Tingfeng's angry eyes and changed her words, "Years ago, I saw that my aunt was in good spirits and I even took her pulse. Could it be that someone below passed on the wrong message?"
The servant, who was slumped on the ground, hurriedly said, "Everything I said is true. The old lady just vomited blood. The master asked me to ask the general to go back immediately."
He paused, his eyes filled with fear as he said, "I'm afraid if it's any later, it will be too late."
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Tingfeng left like a gust of wind.
Looking at his back, Zhuang Shihan felt sick to her stomach, but she couldn't show it in front of others. She could only ask with a cold face, "Is Madam Lin really that ill?"
She had been to the General's Mansion before, and the messenger recognized her bright face and hurriedly said, "Princess, please understand. The deeds of my family of five are all in the General's Mansion. I dare not lie!"
The troublesome old woman turned out to be seriously ill.
Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but frown. She looked back at the door, stomped her feet in annoyance, and quickly chased in the direction Lin Tingfeng left.

"Why is there a wound on the child's stomach?"
It was not until Song Yanxi finished acupuncture that Xi Yuan noticed the dark purple bruise on Liu Goudan's stomach.
It is located right below the ribs. Even if it is a little more to the side, it will damage the internal organs and cause rupture and bleeding.
He said with a sullen face, "The injury is recent, no earlier than yesterday morning. I don't know who could be so cruel as to do such a heavy blow to such a young child."
Yesterday morning, they were still on their way back to the city.
Could it be that he was accidentally injured when he was attacked by an assassin?
Song Yanxi recalled carefully and remembered that she had indeed heard the child crying yesterday. Calculating the time, it seemed that it was indeed after the assassin was killed.
But at that time, several children were hiding in the carriage and did not see the assassin approaching, nor did they see anyone running down.
Just as she was puzzled, she heard a crisp child's voice at the door, "It was Goudan's godmother who kicked him."
Doctor Qi's face changed, and he scolded, "Where did you come from, little brat? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Li Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth with both hands, stuck out his tongue at him, turned around and ran away.
He ran away. Everyone in the room looked at each other, their expressions more interesting than the other.
Someone murmured quietly, "Isn't this child's godmother Princess Shihan?"
Doctor Qi's eyes widened immediately. Just as he was about to call the man nonsense, he heard someone exclaim, "Where is the Master of Shihan County?"
"Waiting outside, of course."
Doctor Qi straightened his sleeves and said with a firm expression, "Princess Shihan has always been kind-hearted. Even if this child wasn't her adopted son, she would never stand by and watch him die."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside say weakly, "Princess Shihan is gone."
"Leave?" Doctor Qi blurted out, "Absolutely not."
Her adopted son's life or death is still uncertain, where can she go?
A curious person ran out to take a look, and was stunned to see that Zhuang Shihan was nowhere to be found in the yard.
Seeing that he hadn't come back, the others also followed him out in a rush. Only then did they realize that not only was she not there, but Lin Tingfeng, who had been waiting in the yard, was also gone.
"This..." Not only others, but Doctor Qi himself felt embarrassed.
He looked around, his face filled with annoyance as he asked, "Where's the county master?"
The guard at the door explained, "Someone just came from the General's Mansion and took General Lin and Princess Shihan away."
Doctor Qi was immediately puzzled. "General Lin can handle the affairs of the General's Mansion alone. Why is the princess joining in the fun?"
A colleague nearby glanced at him and asked, "Doctor Qi, don't you know the relationship between Princess Shihan and the general?"
Thinking of something, Doctor Qi's face became unnatural. He coughed lightly and said, "They haven't gotten married yet."
As he spoke, he looked at the guard and asked, "Did the visitor say that there was any emergency in the General's Mansion?"
The guard said sternly, "Old Madam Lin from the General's Mansion is not feeling well."
"Madam Lin, isn't she the mother-in-law of Princess Yong'an?" Following a sigh, everyone's eyes turned to the room.
Song Yanxi's hand moved slightly while applying the needle. She glanced at Xi Yuan, who looked worried, and said in a deep voice, "Master Xi, hold steady."
Xi Yuan responded and instantly tightened the strength in his hands.
As the silver needle in Song Yanxi's hand fell, Liu Goudan, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a shrill scream.
“Ah, that hurts!”
During the struggle, he recognized her face and kicked and cursed her, "You evil woman, you dare to stab me? I'll let my grandfather beat you to death!"
Listening to his insults, Song Yanxi's expression remained unchanged, and the silver needle in her hand pierced into the acupoint steadily.
Liu Goudan's face was twisted with pain, and he was shouting that he wanted to kill her.
The imperial physician who rushed in upon hearing the noise could no longer bear to listen and said with a dark face, "What's wrong with this child? The princess is treating him, how can he be so ungrateful?"
"I..." Liu Goudan turned his head and wanted to scold him, but the pain in his abdomen suddenly intensified, and he burst into tears in pain.
Song Yanxi placed one hand on his chest and said coldly, "Don't move if you don't want to die."
Perhaps it was because the pain was too severe, or perhaps it was because he was afraid, Liu Goudan's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to vomit.
Xi Yuan immediately said, "Quick, someone move his head away so that his mouth doesn't spit upwards."
In this situation, if he gets choked accidentally, there would be no way to save him.
Doctor Qi, who was the closest, rushed forward to help, but as soon as his hand touched Liu Goudan's face, he turned his head and bit it hard.
He suddenly screamed and cursed: "Hey, you little kid, let go, I am one of your own!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Goudan bit even harder.
He doesn't care about his own people. He is in so much pain that no one else can have an easy time.
And this old man doesn't look like a good guy.
Bite him to death!
Doctor Qi screamed in pain and rolled his eyes.
He gasped, gritted his teeth and trembled as he said, "Stab him, stab him unconscious!"
Hearing this, Xi Yuan glanced at him with a strange look in his eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the princess give the acupuncture according to the symptoms if the person is knocked unconscious?"
Doctor Qi was in so much pain that he almost wanted to kill someone. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Xi, you are seeking revenge for your own personal gain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he screamed again.
Liu Goudan used all his strength, wishing he could bite off a piece of his flesh.
Seeing that Doctor Qi's eyes were red, Song Yanxi kindly reminded him, "This child hates evil and hates it so much that he can't stand hearing anyone say a word about him."
"Ah, when did I ever say anything about him?"
Song Yanxi continued to give acupuncture and ignored him.
Doctor Qi was in so much pain that he couldn't pry open Liu Goudan's mouth with one hand. He called out to his colleague, "Quick, help pry this kid's mouth open."
Everyone rushed forward to help, but they didn't expect the situation to get worse.
Not only did it fail to free Doctor Qi's hand, but it also frightened Liu Goudan, causing him to bite even harder.
"Blood, Doctor Qi is bleeding!" Someone shouted, and everyone noticed that Liu Goudan's mouth was full of blood, obviously he had been killed.
They wanted to use brute force, but were afraid of Zhuang Shihan, so they had to ask Song Yanxi for help.
Xi Yuan frowned, "That's easy to say, but if we really stab this kid unconscious, who among you will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
