After hearing Xu San's confession last night, Su Muxi knew that the matter of Jiang hiring someone to commit arson and murder would definitely be dropped, so she had Bai Zhi and Zhong Bin spread the news in the streets early this morning.
The more unbelievable something is, the more people are willing to believe it.
Moreover, the matter is true; Su Muxi wasn't making things up, she just lacked concrete evidence.
In the eyes of the common people, the fact that Jiang walked into the gate of the Jingzhao Prefecture government office already confirmed this matter.
Therefore, the people of Beijing all knew about Chiang Kai-shek's malicious intentions.
Amid the discussions, Jiang, mindful of the law, dared not do such a thing again, so that her family would be safe.
As for the reputation of the Jiang family and the entire Marquis of Anyang, it will be ruined!
Meanwhile, after Qiao Ziming slowly woke up, she saw the gloomy-faced Imperial Physician Wang.
"Thank you very much, Physician Wang..."
Before Qiao Ziming could finish thanking him, Physician Wang said impatiently, "Now that the young master has woken up, let's quickly administer the acupuncture. I have other matters to attend to this afternoon and cannot stay here any longer."
Upon seeing this, Qiaohui rebuked, "How dare you speak to my young master like that?! You're just a lowly imperial physician; it's your good fortune to be able to treat my young master!"
Unexpectedly, Physician Wang coldly replied, "This old man is not fortunate enough to receive such a blessing. In that case, I shall take my leave!"
After speaking, Physician Wang picked up his medicine box and left.
Qiao Ziming quickly interjected, "Imperial Physician Wang, wait! It was a slip of the tongue by the maid; please forgive her!"
Upon hearing this, Physician Wang stopped, but not to stay and administer acupuncture to Qiao Ziming. Instead, he turned and walked to the table, laboriously lifting Su Muxi's box of diaries.
"Our medical skills are mediocre, and we still want to save our lives and the lives of our families. The threshold of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion is too high. Young Master, you should find another famous doctor. As for this log, it was originally given to me and Physician Li by Miss Su. Now that Physician Li and I have finished reading it, we will return it to its rightful owner!"
Watching the Imperial Physician Wang leave in anger, Qiao Ziming's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.
He was perfectly fine yesterday, so why is Physician Wang acting this way today?
"Qiaohui, when I was unconscious, did you say anything disrespectful to Physician Wang?"
Qiaohui hurriedly shook her head in denial, "How could this servant dare to be disrespectful to the imperial physician! That imperial physician Wang has been in a bad mood ever since he entered the room today. He must have been upset somewhere else and took it out on this servant. This servant couldn't help but speak out in anger because he was disrespectful to the young master."
Qiao Ziming frowned.
If he had only been upset elsewhere, he certainly wouldn't have said those words, much less taken Su Muxi's log and left his leg unattended.
So this matter is related to Su Muxi?
Thinking of Su Muxi, Qiao Ziming hurriedly asked, "How are my mother and Xi'er? Is there any news from the government office?"
Seeing Qiao Hui shake her head, Qiao Ziming hurriedly ordered, "Quickly find a few people to carry me to the Jingzhao Prefecture!"
Qiaohui hesitated for a moment, then could only agree and go out, but she ran back in no time.
"Your Highness, Madam and Miss have returned!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang and Qiao Zixi hurriedly walked in.
"Son, how are you? Why did you suddenly vomit blood and faint?"
Qiao Ziming shook his head. "I'm fine, but what happened to Mother?"
On the way back, Jiang had already told Qiao Zixi about Xu San. Now that Qiao Ziming asked about it, Qiao Zixi quickly told him what had happened.
"That Xu San is a complete waste! He can't even handle such a small matter!"
"Brother, don't worry. When Dean Sun shows up this afternoon, I'll make sure Su Muxi is thrown into jail!"
"As for her family, they have no power or influence. We'll find ways to make sure they suffer a terrible fate!"
Qiao Ziming looked at Qiao Zixi and suddenly felt that his sister was a bit unfamiliar.
Could his sister really have said such vicious words?!
No wonder Physician Wang just said he wanted to save his whole family's lives; it must be because he found out that his mother had hired someone to set fire to the house and kill people!
Although Su Muxi did not leave any medical treatment for him, she took out her medical log and asked someone else to treat him. However, Jiang Shi, as his mother, not only did not feel grateful, but instead repaid kindness with enmity and hired someone to set fire to kill him.
And then there's his unreasonable and vicious sister...
Qiao Ziming's Adam's apple bobbed several times before he finally found his voice, "...Mother, you misunderstood Mu Xi. Before Mu Xi left, she left behind her medical logs from the past three years. After reading the logs, Physician Li and Physician Wang have found a way to treat my leg. After being treated yesterday, my leg has improved."
Jiang asked incredulously, "Then why did those two imperial physicians say yesterday that there was nothing they could do, and why didn't you mention it? I... I only believed what Imperial Physician Sun said, which is why I wanted to teach the Su family a lesson..."
Qiao Ziming shook his head with a bitter smile. "Mother, yesterday I was the one who had those two imperial physicians tell Yingying that there was no way to cure my leg. I just wanted to see if Yingying would still marry me without hesitation after learning that I couldn't stand up... Afterwards, I had something on my mind, so I didn't tell you the details. But who would have thought that you would be so eager to burn Mu Xi's entire family alive..."
“Mother, over the past three years, Mu Xi has shown you great respect. She even brought out three century-old ginseng roots to help you improve your health. Is it possible that three years of getting along with you is not worth a single word from Sun Shan?”
Qiao Ziming felt guilty, because he hadn't explained things clearly yesterday, which almost led to the death of Mu Xi's entire family...
Qiao Zixi didn't believe Su Muxi would be so kind, and couldn't help but say, "If my brother really had improved, why would he have vomited blood and fainted? In my opinion, Su Muxi must have tampered with the diary too!"
"You! Pfft!"
Qiao Ziming looked at Qiao Zixi, and as his lips moved, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Madam Jiang hurriedly ordered her servants to fetch Physician Wang, who had just left, back.
But after a while, the servant returned alone.
"Madam, that Imperial Physician Wang said his medical skills were too shallow to treat the young master, and also said..."
Jiang frowned and pressed, "What else did you say?"
The servant hesitated and said, "They also said they didn't want their entire family to be wiped out."
Qiao Zixi angrily said, "This is outrageous! He's not the only imperial physician in the capital! Go and fetch Physician Li!"
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Ziming threw the teacup that was placed by the bed at her.
"elder brother?!"
Qiao Zixi looked on in disbelief.
But then Qiao Ziming said angrily, "Don't call me brother! I don't have a sister as unreasonable and vicious as you! The reason I vomited blood was because you angered me!"
