Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziming hurriedly scolded, "Shut up!"
He tried to get up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his legs an inch.
She thought her mother had already returned the money to Su Muxi, but to her surprise, not only did she not return it, but her sister also had someone check the account books.
His mother and sister were unaware of the rarity and value of the century-old ginseng, but he was.
Thinking of those three century-old ginseng roots, Qiao Ziming felt guilty towards Su Muxi again.
He looked intently at Su Muxi, but Su Muxi didn't give him a second glance. Instead, she took an account book from Bai Zhi's hand and handed it to Xie Chi.
"Sir, I have made two copies of the same account book. Please take a look."
Xie Chi opened the ledger and looked at each entry one by one, his brows furrowing more and more as he read.
The Qiao family's true colors are truly despicable!
He puts on an arrogant attitude, yet he's taking advantage of the woman.
He closed the ledger and handed it back to Su Muxi, saying, "Keep this ledger safe. I believe the Prefect of the Capital will give you justice."
Qiao Ziming quickly said, "No need to thank me for my trouble, sir!"
He then urged Jiang Shi, "Mother, quickly give the money to Su Muxi!"
If they really went to the Jingzhao Prefecture, it would only bring shame to the entire Marquis's mansion!
Jiang's eyes flickered slightly. "This sum of money is no small amount. I'll need two days to raise it."
Then he looked at Su Muxi and said, "Muxi, I will definitely give you the money in a couple of days, but you can't ignore Zimo's leg!"
This time, Su Muxi did not refuse directly, but said that she wanted to move her dowry and luggage first.
Although Mrs. Jiang was anxious, she had no choice but to agree.
What else can she do?
Now that the divorce papers have been written and Xie Chi is here to watch, if she doesn't agree, Su Muxi will probably accuse her of withholding the bride's dowry again.
When Qiao Zixi heard that Su Muxi was moving her dowry, she rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it. "Hmph! What a jerk! Who do you think is after your little things!"
Xie Chi had seen through the true colors of the Qiao family and was afraid that Su Muxi, a weak woman, would suffer in the Anyang Marquis's mansion, so he decided to go all the way and said that he would have his attendants help Su Muxi move.
Su Muxi was naturally delighted and thanked him.
The two imperial physicians, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye.
Having seen everything that was happening at the Marquis of Anyang's residence, both what they should and shouldn't have seen, they figured it was best to leave as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble. However, before Jiang could stop them from taking their leave, Su Muxi spoke first.
"Please come with me, two imperial physicians. I have been keeping a log for the past three years. Please take a look."
As he spoke, he glanced at Qiao Zixi and Madam Jiang before continuing, "After you two have finished reading, I hope you can clear my name. Otherwise, I'm afraid some people will still think that I was behind the Marquis of Anyang's leg injury."
…
After Su Muxi carried her luggage and dowry out of the Marquis's mansion, she still showed no intention of treating Qiao Ziming.
Seeing this, Jiang no longer tolerated it, revealing a face exactly like Qiao Zixi's.
"Su Muxi! I never imagined you could be so vicious! My son was grateful for your care over the past three years, which is why he allowed you to become Princess Chang Le's concubine. Yet you are not satisfied and have stood by and watched my son suffer! Someone of such lowly status and ugly appearance as you, I want to see who will want you after you divorce my son!"
Su Muxi walked out of the Marquis of Anyang's residence without even turning her head.
She didn't want to waste any more words; she wanted to get home quickly so as not to worry her father.
Xie Chi saw the calmness on Su Muxi's face and hesitated for a moment before asking, "The Qiao family treats you like this, why do you still save Qiao Zimo? I'm afraid they won't see your intentions, and even if they do, they won't care."
He had just casually glanced at Su Muxi's diary, which was very detailed. With the medical skills of Physician Li and Physician Wang, they would surely find a way to cure Qiao Ziming after reading the diary.
Su Muxi smiled indifferently, "I don't care what the Qiao family thinks of me. I only need to be true to my own conscience."
Then, he adopted a serious expression and continued, "The medical practice log is not only for the practitioner to read, but also to better pass on what I have learned and experienced to others. Physician Li and Physician Wang are highly skilled, and it is my honor to be able to share my medical practice log with them."
"I am, after all, a woman. If I were to say how to treat a person with a broken leg, I think less than one-tenth of people would believe me. But if these words were spoken by the two imperial physicians, then ten out of ten people would believe me. In this way, word would spread from one to two, from two to ten, and more people who are paralyzed in bed would receive treatment and be able to set foot on this vast land again."
Xie Chi served as an official for many years, and the number of people who admired him was very small.
But just now, he actually felt a genuine admiration for Su Muxi.
"Miss Su is truly of noble character. If you ever need any help in the future, please feel free to come to the Xie residence to find me."
Su Muxi would certainly not refuse Xie Chi's kindness.
In this capital, if one could have an Imperial Censor as a backer, one could probably do whatever one wanted!
"Thank you very much, sir!"
Su Muxi bowed deeply to Xie Chi, then returned the courtesy by saying, "If any female member of Lord Xie's household needs medical attention, they may come to me at any time."
…
At the same time, Qiao Ziming was surprised by a large box full of logs that the servants carried in.
"Did Su Muxi write all of this over the past three years?"
Physician Li nodded. Seeing that neither Madam Jiang nor Qiao Zixi were present, he hesitated for a moment before saying to Qiao Ziming, "Your Highness, please forgive my bluntness, but Miss Su's actions are actually a disguised way of treating you."
"I have just skimmed through Miss Su's diary. It not only clearly describes your symptoms and treatment methods, but also lists many case studies and folk remedies. Even though I did not personally witness how Miss Su took care of you over the past three years, it is not difficult to see from her diary that Miss Su went to great lengths to cure the young master's leg."
Upon hearing this, Physician Wang couldn't help but interject, "Indeed! A medical practice log is like a priceless treasure to us doctors, yet Miss Su generously showed it to us. Although Miss Su said she wanted to use our words to clear her name by showing us her medical practice log, she was actually telling us how to treat the prince's leg."
They had a good relationship with Su Xing when they were in the Imperial Hospital, and now that they saw Su Xing's daughter being wronged and slandered by the Qiao family, they naturally couldn't stand it.
Speaking up for Su Muxi in this way was simply to make Qiao Ziming understand the facts and not hold a grudge against Su Muxi.
But after hearing what the two said, Qiao Ziming couldn't help but think more about it.
Perhaps Su Muxi wasn't as devoid of love for him as she appeared?
If she had no love for him, why would she do such a thing for him?
Just then, Qiao Zixi ran in from outside with a happy expression, startling both Physician Li and Physician Wang into shutting up.
Qiao Zixi didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the two imperial physicians, and instead said with a smile, "Brother! Princess Sister-in-law is here!"
