Chapter 582 Uncle? You dare to call yourselves uncles?
"Ah Rong, you stay here and wait for me. I'll be out soon."
Upon reaching the entrance of Li Mingyu's bedchamber, Jiang Nuanzhi stopped, pushed away Li Rong's hand, and reassured him, "Xiao Yuanshan is still supporting me to treat his wife and children, so he won't hurt me. Once I'm out, we'll bring the children back from the palace and have a proper celebration."
Li Rong nodded and stood quietly watching Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled at him, but after taking only two steps, she realized that Li Rong was still following behind her. He followed her every step she took, as if all her previous words had been in vain.
“Arong.”
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I escorted Anuan to the door."
"Then you'll just stand here obediently."
"Um!"
When they arrived at the residence of Regent's Consort Li Mingyu, Li Rong did not follow them inside. Jiang Nuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and went inside.
Outside, Li Rong listened to Jiang Nuanzhi's instructions and stood there quietly waiting, leaving Lin Chun, who was standing next to him, completely stunned.
For a moment, it was as if I didn't recognize the general anymore.
No matter what, she was a servant of the Li family, having grown up in the Li family since childhood. When she entered the Regent's Palace and saw the sky full of giant falcons, what was there not to understand? How many years had she been waiting for this day? Finally, she saw the general once again, radiating brilliance.
Seeing the flesh and blood on the giant falcon's talons, she knew that the general must have fought a bloody battle. Especially since the bloodstains on his robe and the killing intent emanating from him had not yet dissipated.
However, the next second they saw the obedient general. Is this a good match?
Just as she was feeling confused, she saw Li Rong looking at her. Lin Chun was startled and immediately lowered her head: "General!"
“You’ve been following Ah Nuan all this time, so tell me what’s been happening lately.”
"Yes." Lin Chun didn't dare to delay and spilled out everything that had happened in the past few days.
The lady said not to talk about things that made her feel wronged, but she only talked about what happened, without mentioning any grievances. Isn't that normal?
She even went into great detail, recounting how she was humiliated by Zhao Xiuyuan today and how she managed to trick him, all in great detail.
A faint sense of impending doom spread through the air. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yuanshan's old steward had already led everyone in the household to retreat several steps and lean against the door of the princess's bedroom, watching him with a wary expression.
Li Rong didn't even bother to look at these people, but just looked at Lin Chun and ordered, "Go, break Zhao Xiuyuan's leg."
"yes!"
Lin Chun shouted excitedly, his soft sword trembling with excitement.
In the blink of an eye, a pig-like scream could be heard from not far away.
Lin Chun, all smiles, grabbed Zhao Xiuyuan's leg and dragged him back. In reality, Zhao Xiuyuan, whom she had dragged back, was already unconscious, covered in sweat, his clothes stained with blood—a horrifying sight. The people in the Prince's mansion, seeing the woman so excitedly pulling at the man's leg as if she were her prey, all shuddered, their faces turning deathly pale.
"How dare you! How could you harm my master!"
Zhao Xiuyuan's guard was ashen-faced, but the woman in front of him was incredibly powerful. He had been defeated in a single exchange, and his arm had been dislocated. He was powerless to fight back. Seeing his master in imminent danger, he looked anxiously at the Wangfu steward: "Is the Wangfu just going to stand by and do nothing?"
The old steward of the Prince's mansion had his brows furrowed so deeply that he looked at the newcomer as if he were a fool. Did he really not want to get involved?
Even the prince couldn't do anything about them, so what could he do?
At the moment, they just randomly sent a few people to rescue him, just to make a show of it. Sure enough, the man was taken down by the other side.
The old steward sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, when the prince comes out, I will definitely ask him to uphold justice for Lord Zhao."
Zhao Xiuyuan's guards were so anxious that beads of sweat soaked their foreheads. They looked around and when they spotted Lord Xie's group, their eyes lit up: "Lord Xie, please help us!"
The servant in front of Lord Xie saw this and his lips twitched: "Are you blind? Our Lord's injuries are far more serious than your master's. We are all waiting. You should just stay put."
He spoke very softly, afraid that Li Rong would notice them again, as his lord could not withstand another beating like this.
After thinking it over, feeling a little uneasy, he carried Lord Xie to a more distant location.
They were hoping the prince would come out soon, and they were also thinking about checking on the marquis's health. They hurried back to their residence to recuperate, as the prince's residence was truly terrifying.
Li Rong was naturally unaware of what the people around him were thinking, and of course, even if he did know, he wouldn't care.
He just stared fixedly at the door in front of him.
On the other side, the butler braced himself and stepped forward, swallowed hard, and moved a chair to Li Rong's side: "Uncle, please sit down and rest for a while?"
Li Rong's cool gaze shifted to the old butler, his face clearly reflected in his dark pupils.
“Call me General! Uncle? You’re not worthy!” Lin Chun spat repeatedly beside him.
The old steward shrank his neck and saw Li Rong sit down before letting out a heavy sigh of relief, fearing that this devil would go crazy in the manor again. Now that the prince and princess were treating him, no one could stop this living devil.
Looking back, when he was still young, he came and demolished the palace because his former queen had returned home in a huff. Now, however, he is several times more terrifying than before.
He dared not delay any longer and sent someone in to inform Xiao Yuanshan that Zhao Xiuyuan's leg had been broken.
Inside the house, Xiao Yuanshan frowned slightly upon hearing the news and waved his hand dismissively.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Nuanzhi as she dropped the needle.
With those nimble white hands, he soon couldn't keep up again. He pursed his lips and stared at Jiang Nuanzhi with a dark look in his eyes. He simply sat down and picked up the tea that the servants had just served.
Jiang Nuanzhi held her breath and focused intently as she performed the acupuncture. She was amazed by how smoothly the needlework went.
Not only was the technique smooth, but Xiao Yuanshan also didn't stop the process or ask him to demonstrate the acupuncture technique again.
His queen was unusually silent today, glancing towards the door every now and then, seemingly absent-minded and hesitant to speak. The child was asleep, and after Jiang Nuanzhi took his pulse, she gave him a training prescription. Everything was going incredibly smoothly. Even the master and servants were exceptionally cooperative.
Yesterday, when servants were attending to me, they looked at me with disdain, but today, they are all meek and obedient in my presence.
Although Xiao Yuanshan kept staring at her with a sinister look in his eyes, he didn't even utter a word of questioning.
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately put away the needles and asked casually, "Your Highness, is that enough? I'll go examine General Qin now?"
Xiao Yuanshan's gaze was fixed on Li Mingyu's knees, and he seemed somewhat lost in thought. He waved his hand and remained silent.
Jiang Nuanzhi had originally planned to try and maneuver things, but to her surprise, it went incredibly smoothly. She was even somewhat incredulous when she left the house.
"Your Highness, shall I really go?"
