Su Muxi, who left, was unaware of Qiao Ziming's current situation, and even if she had, she wouldn't have turned back.
Because she no longer owes the Qiao family anything, and has no connection with the Marquis of Anyang's mansion.
At this moment, she was simply Su Muxi, Su Xing's daughter!
"father!"
Upon seeing Su Xing lying on the bed, Su Muxi could only call out once before choking up and unable to utter a sound.
She didn't cry when she was belittled and bullied by others, and she didn't cry when she was wronged in the Qiao family, but when Su Muxi saw Su Xing's appearance this time, large tears welled up in her eyes as if they were out of control.
In the candlelight, Su Xing's face was completely bloodless, and his knees were wrapped in thick bandages with faint traces of blood showing through them.
What exactly did the Empress do to her father?!
Su Xing's thin face lit up with joy upon seeing Su Muxi. "Don't cry, Xi'er. Father is fine. It's just some superficial wounds. He'll be better in a couple of days."
Su Muxi wiped away her tears haphazardly with her sleeve, said nothing, and reached out to unwrap the bandages from Su Xing's knee.
After seeing the wound, she could roughly guess how it had happened!
The Empress made her father kneel on the shattered porcelain shards...
As the mother of a nation, she torments people indiscriminately without even distinguishing right from wrong!
…Perhaps in the Empress's eyes, people of such low status as them were not even considered human!
Su Muxi tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, swallowed the soreness in her nose, and said softly, "Father, let me re-bandage you."
Su Xing smiled and nodded, then hesitated and asked, "Xi'er, has the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree for divorce?"
"Okay, I'm logging off now. I'll go to the Marquis of Anyang's residence first thing tomorrow morning to pick up the divorce papers and move my things."
After Su Muxi finished speaking, seeing the guilt on Su Xing's face, she suddenly smiled, "Father, why do you look like that? It's a good thing that your daughter has regained her freedom!"
Su Xing sighed heavily, his face filled with even greater guilt. "Alas! It's all my fault for dragging you down. If you hadn't agreed to marry into the Marquis of Anyang's household to repay my debt of gratitude, you wouldn't have ended up like this..."
He knew his daughter best; if it weren't for repaying a debt of gratitude, she would never have married into the Marquis of Anyang's household.
The status and position that people pursue are beneath her.
The tall, handsome young man, possessing both virtue and talent, left the daughter unmoved.
All the daughter wanted was a man who didn't care about her appearance and was willing to treat her sincerely.
I thought that after spending three years with his daughter, Qiao Ziming would see how good she was.
But Qiao Ziming was ultimately not the right man for his daughter.
As she spoke, Su Muxi had already re-bandaged Su Xing's wound and said with a carefree smile, "Father, I'm doing very well now. I've repaid the Marquis of Anyang's kindness, lived and ate for free at the Qiao family for three years, and now I've made it all out unscathed. So you must not say such things again. If you really feel sorry for your daughter, then leave the Imperial Hospital and spend more time with her in the future."
This incident reveals that both the Empress and Bai Mengying are petty and narrow-minded.
If Father continues to work in the palace, he might be harassed by the Empress again someday, so it's better for him to leave.
Seeing Su Xing hesitate, Su Muxi, unusually coquettish, said, "Father, since you entered the palace to become a royal physician, our family's Shanci Hall has lost its resident doctor. Shanci Hall is a shop left by Mother. How about we work together to run it well and treat more people?"
After saying that, she added in a low voice with a hint of threat, "If you don't agree, then your daughter will have no choice but to show her face in public and become a doctor herself!"
"Nonsense! What kind of woman becomes a resident doctor?! I, your father, will grant your request!"
Su Xing was not the kind of person who was pedantic, and he was very impressed with Su Muxi's medical skills.
However, he couldn't bear to see his daughter being pointed at and gossiped about.
Even though the daughter had never done anything to wrong anyone, those people were still full of malice towards her.
It was all because of the red birthmark on her daughter's left cheek.
Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the birthmark still on Su Muxi's face and murmured, "Xi'er, have you ever resented your father? If it weren't for your father, perhaps the heir of the Marquis of Anyang wouldn't have treated you like this."
Su Muxi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but she quickly understood the meaning behind Su Xing's words.
She subconsciously reached out and touched the birthmark on her face.
Birthmarks are not smooth; they have uneven textures, making them look uglier than ordinary birthmarks.
But Su Muxi shook her head indifferently, "How could I resent you? I know you're doing this for my own good. Most men in the world only care about appearances, and only in this way can one distinguish a good woman. Besides, I quite like this birthmark; it makes me feel more at ease when walking at night."
Su Xing was amused by Su Muxi's last words, "Don't talk nonsense! You're not a night watchman, why are you walking at night!"
The atmosphere in the Su residence was becoming increasingly warm and cozy, but the Anyang Marquis's residence was in complete chaos.
Xu Hanzhi, who had just left the Marquis of Anyang's residence that afternoon, was summoned back by the servants of the Marquis of Anyang's residence. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Anyang's heir, who had only experienced some leg numbness, was unable to stand up after just a few hours.
"Dr. Xu, how is my son's leg? When will it get better?!"
Seeing that Xu Hanzhi remained silent for a long time, Jiang couldn't help but urge him to speak.
Xu Hanzhi smiled bitterly to himself. He couldn't even find the cause of the illness, so how could he talk about treating it?
After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke: "The young master's legs are not completely without feeling, so the problem should not be serious. However, I have not been able to find out the cause of the young master's illness, and I do not know where to begin to treat him."
After saying that, he once again requested to see Su Muxi.
"May I see the Crown Prince's wife? If I could know how she has been treating the Crown Prince's leg over the past three years, perhaps I could find the cause and a cure."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room changed their expressions.
Qiao Zixi looked at Xu Hanzhi with a mocking gaze, "Someone like you dares to call himself a miracle doctor? Get out of here! Don't even think about getting a single copper coin for your consultation!"
This time, Jiang did not reprimand Qiao Zixi. Instead, she said coldly, "Qiaohui, see the guest out."
Xu Hanzhi was just a doctor, and a doctor with no power or influence at that. Since his medical skills were inadequate, they could simply find someone else.
Xu Hanzhi was so angry at the Qiao family's attitude that his face turned red. Before Qiaohui could chase him away, he angrily turned and left.
Judging from this, the Crown Prince's wife must have had a dispute with the Qiao family, otherwise she wouldn't have remained out of the public eye until now.
Although doctors have the heart of parents, Xu Hanzhi had only one thought in his mind at this moment.
That is to say that Qiao Ziming deserved it!
After Xu Hanzhi left, Madam Jiang hurriedly sent someone to fetch the imperial physician from the palace.
Seeing this, Qiao Zixi quickly said, "Mother, I'll go to see my sister-in-law, the princess, myself!"
But then they heard Jiang and Qiao Ziming speak at the same time.
"Absolutely not!"
"no!"
Qiao Zixi asked in confusion, "Why is that? When Mother goes to invite the imperial physicians, she can only invite those who are not on duty. But if Princess Sister-in-law comes forward, even the head of the Imperial Hospital who is on duty will come to treat Brother!"
Seeing the smug look on Qiao Zixi's face, Jiang wanted to slap her again.
How could she have given birth to such a stupid daughter!
