When Su Muxi got home, she saw that the food on the table was the same as that morning.
"Are they waiting for me and Bai Zhi?"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a steamed bun, taking a bite.
"Mmm! Aunt Zhong's cooking is so good. After all that work this morning, we can finally eat!"
Seeing this, Aunt Zhong hurriedly said, "Miss, the food is getting cold. Let me heat it up for you!"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I'll go help!"
Su Muxi glanced at Su Xing's newly bandaged leg, then at Zhong Bo, whose eyes were full of worry, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm back safe and sound. Lord Xie is a reasonable man, and with him around, I didn't suffer any loss. It's just that I might have to go to the Jingzhao Prefecture early tomorrow morning."
"Why? Do the Qiao family really believe that the problem with the young master's leg was caused by you? And they want to sue you?"
Su Xing said nervously, his eyes filled with self-blame and worry, mixed with a hint of resentment.
He knew his daughter better than anyone; she would never harm anyone!
The Qiao family turned the tables on the victim; it's truly infuriating and hateful!
Su Muxi quickly recounted what had just happened to Su Xing, then took out the divorce papers from her bosom. "Since we're divorced, we naturally need to report it to the government office. And the money that the Marquis of Anyang's mansion owes me also needs to be returned! So tomorrow, it won't be them suing me, but me suing them!"
Su Xing hesitated, "Too much rigidity leads to breakage. It's best not to go too far. Maybe they'll return the money in a couple of days."
But Su Muxi said with unusual firmness, "Father, you know that I have never cared about my reputation, but this time, I don't want to suffer any more grievances!"
The Jiang family will never return the money easily, and Qiao Zixi won't let it go easily after I slapped her twice. Rather than waiting to be schemed against and slandered, it's better to take the initiative.
Don't worry, if we put some things out in the open, those people won't dare to do anything to me. My daughter has never done anything wrong; she doesn't ask for much, just justice.
Upon hearing this, Su Xing's gaze gradually hardened.
Although his daughter didn't say anything, how could he not know the grievances she had suffered?
Since we've already fallen out, let's go all the way and make it even more complete.
Despite being treated with genuine kindness, the Qiao family showed them no gratitude whatsoever.
Therefore, giving in every step will only lead to the other party taking an inch and then a mile!
In the residence of the Marquis of Anyang
Physician Li and Physician Wang spent the entire afternoon reading Su Muxi's medical log. The two of them were like they had been injected with chicken blood, neither eating nor drinking, and their buttocks barely moved an inch from their chairs.
Unexpectedly, after decades of practicing medicine, they were not as knowledgeable about medicine as a young girl.
It turns out that Qiao Ziming not only broke his leg, but also injured his lumbar spine.
The reason I can't move my legs now is not because there's something wrong with my legs, but because of my back.
Therefore, if you want to treat it, you should start by treating the lower back.
After acupuncture, Qiao Ziming felt the tingling sensation in his legs significantly decrease, and he felt a warm current, which made most of his worries and fears disappear.
Given time, he will surely rise again!
"Thank you very much, Imperial Physicians!"
Qiao Ziming sincerely thanked them, but the two imperial physicians waved their hands in unison.
"If Your Highness wishes to express gratitude, then thank Miss Su. Miss Su's diary is very detailed, even recording Your Highness's daily meals. This shows Miss Su's thoughtfulness towards Your Highness. It's just a pity..."
Physician Li was halfway through his sentence when Physician Wang kicked him. Realizing he had misspoke, he quickly corrected himself, saying, "I'll go check if the medicine is ready."
After saying that, he hurriedly went out, and Physician Wang followed him out.
Qiao Ziming knew what Physician Li meant by the second half of his sentence, but he didn't like Su Muxi. He only had Yingying in his heart. Besides, he had already divorced Su Muxi, so he had no intention of thinking about anything else. The only thing he could do was to take care of the Su family in the capital in the future.
Just then, Bai Mengying sent a servant to deliver a letter to Qiao Ziming, but it was stopped by Madam Jiang.
"Mother, this is a letter from my brother written by my sister-in-law, the princess. Is it really appropriate for you to open and read it like this?"
Qiao Zixi hesitated.
Jiang ignored him and instead opened the letter to read it herself.
However, after only a couple of glances, his expression turned gloomy.
He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "Ha! What a foolish devotion!"
Qiao Zixi frowned upon hearing this and leaned forward to read the contents of the letter.
Although his complexion wasn't very good, he was still explaining things to Bai Mengying.
"Didn't Princess say that she offended the Empress Dowager? It was the Empress who made her go to Huguo Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager. She didn't want to."
"Ha! She doesn't want to? I've already had preparations made for the betrothal ceremony at the Princess's residence tomorrow, but she went to Huguo Temple at this time. What does she mean by that? Isn't it because she saw your brother's leg is lame and doesn't want to get married anymore!"
As Jiang spoke, she tore the letter to shreds. "This is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. How can she refuse to marry just because she doesn't want to? I don't believe she can hide in Huguo Temple forever!"
Qiao Zixi opened her mouth, but finally said angrily, "It's all Su Muxi's fault! If it weren't for her, my brother wouldn't be lame!"
Jiang's eyes turned cold. "Since Su Muxi dares to harm your brother like this, then don't blame your mother for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zixi's eyes lit up. "Mother, what do you want to do?"
Jiang simply smiled and remained silent.
So what if the Empress Dowager and Xie Chi are backing her up?
The wind is strong in spring. If the house were to flood, it would be an accident, and no one would suspect her!
…
Su Mansion
Su Muxi couldn't fall asleep until she heard the gong sound at midnight.
Aunt Zhong's force-feeding method made Su Muxi feel a bit of a stomachache.
Unable to fall asleep, I tossed and turned in bed, so I got up and decided to check the medicine cabinet at Su Xing's clinic to get some stomach-strengthening and digestive herbal soup.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the house, I saw someone climbing over the courtyard wall.
Has a thief broken in?
Su Muxi didn't shout, but subconsciously hid herself.
If the other party is a vicious criminal, her screams might provoke their murderous intent. None of her family members know martial arts, so she would only suffer losses if they fought.
If the other party only wants to steal some money, then let them steal it.
After all, life is more precious than money.
Su Muxi secretly followed behind that person, observing his actions by the moonlight, but soon realized something was wrong.
The man first blew smoke into each room, then sprinkled kerosene on the windows and doorways.
How could she not see through what the other party was after!
Her father was a kind man who never offended anyone, and for the past three years she had stayed at the Marquis of Anyang's residence without ever leaving the house.
So it's obvious who sent this person!
Oh!
It seems she really did play the role of Mr. Dongguo!
