Chapter 109: Unable to Educate Daughter
"Where did this wild dog come from that barking noise? Open your dog eyes and see clearly that you are lying!" Zhuang Shihan said, rushing over and trying to pull Song Yanxi's sleeve.
At this moment, Song Yanxi just explained to Qiu Yuanzheng: "I was frightened just now, so I lost my balance and fell. It has nothing to do with Princess Shihan."
When the ministers heard this, it took on a completely different meaning.
If Zhuang Shihan hadn't rushed over and yelled at her, even pretending to hit someone, why would she have been so frightened as to feed Duke Jingguo the medicine?
It's just that the girl is broad-minded and doesn't want to argue with her.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhuang Shihan, who now rushed forward to tear off Song Yanxi's clothes, looked no different from a crazy woman.
Qiu Yuanzheng waved his sleeves and brushed her off, saying with disgust, "You're an unmarried girl, how could you learn to strip people's clothes just because you disagree with them?"
Someone in the crowd whistled and smirked, "Where else could he have learned that? From personal experience, of course!"
Those who witnessed what happened that day at the General's Mansion kept their mouths shut, and it was even more impossible for them to tell their husbands about such a shameful thing.
All the ministers, including Qiu Yuanzheng, stared at each other in confusion, completely bewildered.
A woman standing nearby spat and said disdainfully, "You've already been examined in public and still have the nerve to go out? This is such a shameful thing. If it were someone else, they would have already hit their head against the wall and died."
Her voice is not loud, but it is sharp and dramatic, with great penetrating power.
For a moment, the faces of the adults turned pale and blue, it was a spectacular scene.
Zhuang Shihan's face flushed red as she pointed at the woman who had spoken and asked, "Did you see me being examined with your own eyes?"
The woman stamped her feet in anger and said in a trembling voice: "Shameless, absolutely shameless!"
A girl, even if she is innocent, would be too embarrassed to raise her head if she hears these two words mentioned.
She actually said it so blatantly!
The onlookers became more and more excited, staring at Zhuang Shihan intently, as if they wanted to stare a hole in her.
Lin Tingfeng took a few steps forward and protected her behind him.
Noticing someone staring at Zhuang Shihan with malicious eyes, he drew his sword and pointed it at the person, "If you dare to look at me again, I will dig out your eyes!"
The man was immediately frightened and fell to the ground limply. He was so scared that he peed on the spot.
Someone shouted, "The general killed someone!"
The people who lined the streets to see them off suddenly fled in all directions, and the situation was out of control for a while.
The soldiers who were forming an array not far away saw the commotion here and thought that there was trouble. A deputy general ordered 500 people to come and help.
The ministers who were responsible for maintaining order today were so angry at the chaotic situation that their faces turned green. They wanted to rush forward and strangle the culprit to death.
Qiu Yuanzheng sneered, "General Lin is truly impressive."
Lin Tingfeng had not yet retracted the sword in his hand, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the shock.
He just scared the troublemaker, how could he kill someone?
Looking at the city gate that had suddenly become deserted, Zhuang Shihan suddenly thought of something and looked at Song Yanxi sharply, "It's you! You planned everything today!"
Song Yanxi's eyes were indifferent. "I don't understand what Princess Shihan is saying."
"Why are you pretending?" Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth and demanded, "How could my father faint out of nowhere? And you just happened to be right next to him, and you just happened to have the right medicine on you. How do you explain it?"
She didn't believe these were coincidences.
The ministers also looked at Song Yanxi, and obviously felt that what Zhuang Shihan said made some sense. There were not so many coincidences in the world.
Qiu Yuanzheng couldn't bear to listen any longer and asked coldly, "According to what Princess Shihan meant, can I understand that Princess Yong'an was right to watch the Duke die without rescuing him?"
"What a joke! I'm a doctor. How can it be her turn as a half-baked doctor who has only read a few medical books to save people?"
Zhuang Shihan looked at Song Yanxi angrily and said through gritted teeth, "You'd better pray that my father is okay, otherwise, even if you have nine lives, it won't be enough to compensate."
"Shut up!" Duke Jingguo slowly woke up and almost fainted again after hearing this.
He looked at Song Yanxi and said ashamedly: "It's because I didn't teach my daughter well..."
Zhuang Shihan interrupted him with a cold face and said angrily, "Dad, don't waste your words with her. You went out with me today, how could you suddenly have a heart attack? She must have used some despicable means to deliberately set it up, and then singled you out for treatment so that you would owe her a life-saving favor!"
Upon hearing this, Duke Jingguo became even angrier.
He gasped and asked, "Is this how I usually teach you to talk to your father's savior?"
Zhuang Shihan looked at Song Yanxi and asked, "What kind of drug did you give my father to make him protect you so much?"
"Shut up!" If Duke Jingguo hadn't been so weak that he couldn't get up, he would have rushed forward and slapped her to see if he could wake her up.
Facing Zhuang Shihan's resentful eyes, Song Yanxi said, "The Duke is not protecting me, but you."
Without waiting for her to speak, she asked, "Why do you think the Duke, who is so old and has an old illness, insisted on coming to see you off?"
Zhuang Shihan looked a little embarrassed and said, "This is our family matter. It's not your turn as an outsider to butt in."
So, she actually knew it in her heart.
Knowing his father's intention and knowing that he was in poor health, he still agreed to let him come and see him off.
Song Yanxi didn't know what Zhuang Shihan was thinking, but no matter what her purpose was, this woman must be a selfish person.
She suddenly felt some sympathy for Duke Jingguo.
It is certainly wrong to raise a daughter like this.
But now, for her own selfish reasons, Zhuang Shihan disregards the reputation of the Duke's Mansion and his life and death. Isn't this a retribution?
Zhuang Shihan wanted to say something, but she saw out of the corner of her eye that all the ministers were kneeling down, so she quickly knelt down as well.
Noticing that Duke Jingguo, who was sitting on the ground, was struggling to get up and kneel down, Song Yanxi quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Oh, so hypocritical." Zhuang Shihan turned her head and took a look, unable to help but sneer.
Upon hearing this, Duke Jingguo wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He grabbed Song Yanxi's arm and said, "Song family girl, I'm sorry for you."
Noticing his disordered breathing, Song Yanxi lowered her voice and said, "If you really feel guilty towards me, my Lord, please recover as soon as possible and wait for the day when we can properly discipline Princess Shihan.
I have no intention of competing with her for anything, and she doesn't need to regard me as an enemy."
Duke Jingguo's eyes flickered as he solemnly promised "OK".
Among the kneeling ministers, the two who were still standing stood out particularly.
Song Yanxi was about to help Duke Jingguo kneel down when she heard the majestic voice of Emperor Xuande from the carriage, "Everyone, stand up."
The carriage curtain was lifted, and the ministers looked at the situation inside the carriage and all gasped.
Lin Tingfeng and Zhuang Shihan looked at each other, their faces becoming uglier than the other.
