Su Muxi knew that Su Lingwei had come without informing her grandfather, otherwise she wouldn't have acted so recklessly.
So he turned cold and said to Su Lingwei in a cold voice, "What? Does Miss Su think that you can solve everything by going to Fukang County with me? Miss Su is overestimating herself!"
If Miss Su has plenty of time, she should go home and help manage the business. As an illegitimate child, achieving her current status is already quite an accomplishment; Miss Su shouldn't neglect one thing for another!
Su Muxi usually dislikes using one's status to intimidate others, but this time she specifically emphasized that Su Lingwei was born out of wedlock.
They just hoped that Su Lingwei would leave in shame and anger, so as not to delay their important business.
However, the fact that she was born out of wedlock was always the thing that Su Lingwei cared about most.
Although she is the eldest granddaughter of the second wife, her grandfather was born out of wedlock, so she could never become a true legitimate daughter of the Su family.
So Su Lingwei disregarded everything else and spoke up again, mentioning the prescription Xie Xuan had taken out at Fan Hua Lou yesterday.
"Su Muxi, you're trying to solve the plague in Fukang County with a simple antidote. What's the difference between that and deception? By doing this, you're clearly leading those people to their deaths!"
I will go to the city gate and tell those talented men everything!
I will absolutely not allow you to do this, and I will absolutely not allow you to implicate the Su family!
Su Muxi almost laughed out of anger.
How could Grandpa praise such a person so highly?
He's clearly brainless!
"McQuinn, take him down!"
Su Muxi gave the order in a cold voice, and Mai Kun moved swiftly and decisively, instantly grabbing Su Lingwei's shoulder.
Perhaps because McQueen used too much force, Su Lingwei couldn't help but let out a painful scream.
"ah!"
"Su Muxi! How dare you?!"
Su Lingwei was a pampered young lady who grew up in the Su family. Even though she was born out of wedlock, no one dared to disrespect her because of her status as a member of the Su family.
In the past two years, she has won the praise of the older generation of the Su family with her medical skills and business acumen, becoming the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Su family.
Although she was a woman, even the prefect had to address her respectfully as Miss Su.
But this kind of treatment is something she has never experienced before!
Su Muxi sneered, "Ha! Why wouldn't I dare?! I am the Princess Consort of Yong'an, and the legitimate daughter of the Su family. I was ordered by the Emperor to manage the plague in Fukang County. Why should you point fingers at me?"
After saying that, he instructed Mai Kun, "Send Miss Su back to the Su residence. If Miss Su dares to make a fuss, you can decide whether to gag her or break her jaw!"
"yes!"
McQueen had a cold and stern face, and his aura was intimidating.
Su Lingwei was even more incredulous.
"Su Muxi, don't go too far! My medical skills are recognized by the family head. I wanted to help you, but you're ungrateful! You've never been back to the Su family before, and you're already trying to implicate them! I won't let you do as you please!"
Su Muxi frowned.
Just as McQueen was about to dislocate Su Lingwei's jaw, Qiao Ziming strode out of the inn and stopped him.
"stop!"
"Su Muxi, she's your cousin! Don't you care about saving face at all?!"
Qiao Ziming meant well, reminding her that this was Jinzhou, and even though Su Muxi had become the Princess of Yong'an, she shouldn't be too arrogant if she wanted to gain the Su family's approval.
But Su Muxi ignored Qiao Ziming and looked at Mai Kun instead, "What? Does my word no longer carry weight?"
McQueen snapped out of his daze and cleanly dislocated Su Lingwei's jaw.
However, this action accidentally removed the veil from Su Lingwei's face.
The ugly red birthmark on Su Lingwei's left cheek was revealed.
Those who were unaware of the concept of a gecko fetus were stunned upon seeing the birthmark that was almost identical to Su Muxi's.
Especially Qiao Ziming.
Why does the birthmark on her face look so similar to the one you had before?
Qiao Ziming wanted Su Muxi to give him an answer, but Su Muxi didn't seem inclined to pay him any attention.
Just then, McQueen had already sent several guards forward to subdue the people Su Lingwei had brought.
After doing all this, McQueen bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Su Muxi, saying, "Your Highness, I will be right back."
Su Muxi nodded and prepared to get into the carriage.
Qiao Ziming was eager to know the answer and reached out to grab Su Muxi's wrist, but Xie Xuan stopped him first.
"Can't you see it, Your Highness? No matter why the birthmark on the Princess's face disappeared, it has nothing to do with you! Also, you come up here and say that the Princess doesn't care about her reputation, but do you know how disrespectful that Miss Su was to the Princess just now!"
"Does the Princess Consort of Yong'an, a legitimate daughter of the Su family, have to be so polite and humble, bowing and scraping, to a concubine's daughter of the Su family?!"
Xie Xuan had already learned about the situation in Fukang County from Su Muxi, and he naturally knew that if Su Lingwei went to Fukang County with her, it would definitely cause trouble.
Therefore, he completely agreed with Su Muxi's approach.
Moreover, Su Lingwei had been disrespectful to Su Muxi from the very beginning, so Su Muxi had no reason to be polite to her.
After saying that, Xie Xuan leaned closer to Qiao Ziming and lowered his voice to continue, "Now I finally know what kind of life the Princess Consort lived in the Marquis of Anyang's mansion! If I were the Princess Consort, I would definitely divorce you!"
When faced with problems, he doesn't defend his wife, always subconsciously assuming that she is at fault.
This kind of man is disgusting, even if you gave him to him for free!
Qiao Ziming stood there, filled with anger, but when he reached the city gate, he became even angrier.
"Where is Prefect Liu?! What happened to the supplies and personnel we promised yesterday?!"
Qiao Ziming grabbed the approaching constable, his eyes bloodshot, looking like he wanted to devour him.
Yesterday, Mingming had already made arrangements with Liu Guanghan, saying that all the officials of Jinzhou City would come to see him off, and that they would prepare 300 shi of grain and various commonly used medicinal herbs for him, as well as 200 yamen runners and soldiers.
But now only three yamen runners and a cart of grain have arrived.
It would be better to have nothing at all!
Although Xie Xuan was unclear about what Qiao Ziming had discussed with Prefect Liu yesterday, it certainly wasn't like this.
So he stepped forward and said with a mocking expression, "Oh! The young master really has a lot of influence! He actually had the prefect send three yamen runners and even brought a cartload of rations! He's really been a great help!"
Qiao Ziming's handsome face flushed red, and he didn't know what to say.
I was originally planning to show off in front of Su Muxi today, but I didn't expect that Liu Guanghan to be so unreliable!
They were clearly trying to embarrass him!
What surprised him even more was that Xie Xuan, a mere commoner, was able to gather so many people to volunteer to go to Fukang County to help…
