Lady Hou stood in front of the Marquis, saying, "Do you dare to lay a hand on me today?"
The stern look on the Lady of the Marquis's face made the Marquis take a step back.
For countless years, his wife never raised a single word in front of him.
"The old woman beat this wretch to save her life. What is she anyway! How dare she curse the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion."
If General Jiang were to hold a grudge, the death of her lowly life would be nothing to him; the Yongning Marquis's mansion would also be implicated.
Marquis Yongning belatedly realized he was referring to the General's Mansion, and his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
He pulled Aunt Liu behind him to protect her: "Drag this servant out and give him thirty strokes of the cane."
The ruthlessness in his eyes was unbridled.
Lady Hou was stunned. She never expected that the Marquis would go to such lengths for a concubine.
They didn't care about their own reputation or whether General Jiang would come looking for them.
Jiang Chuwei looked up and met the Marquis's eyes.
What gives the Marquis the right to look down on the General's Mansion? What gives him the confidence to do so?
Outside, the Yongning Marquis's mansion had no real power base, except for the Xiang Prince's mansion, which was just a leisurely prince.
They were practically invisible in the imperial court, so the Yongning Marquis's mansion was also virtually invisible.
Although the general's mansion was feared by the emperor, it had deep roots in the capital.
Even prominent families in the capital would give him some face.
Jiang Chuwei saw it clearly: the Marquis of Yongning's eyes held only disdain.
Where does his confidence come from?
Interesting! It seems that the Marquis of Yongning is not as simple as he appears!
"Today, the young master is being treated for his leg injury, and it is not advisable for him to bleed. Would you please heed my advice, my lord?"
Jiang Chuwei withdrew her sharp edge. Now that the Marquis of Yongning's intentions were clear, he simply became unscrupulous and there was no need for him to hide anymore.
Jiang Chuwei's goal was to let the Crown Prince know that only if he recovered would the Lady Hou not be bullied so badly, and his position as Crown Prince would not fall into the hands of others.
It also made him realize that his father, who was worse than a pig or a dog, not only couldn't protect his mother from the wind and rain, but only brought her storms.
As expected, Marquis Yongning did not back down: "Drag this servant away."
"Who dares!" Lady Hou stood in front of the nanny.
Jiang Chuwei winked at Nightingale.
Since we've already made enemies of Marquis Yongning, we can still manage to snatch a person or two from him.
Once the prince wakes up, he will be in charge of protecting his mother.
Just as the nightingale appeared, a figure flashed over and grabbed Aunt Liu by the hair, pulling her to the ground. The sudden turn of events caught Marquis Yongning off guard.
Aunt Liu screamed in pain, "Let go!"
Princess Xiang grabbed her hair: "It's you again! I warned you not to come here and cause trouble, haven't you learned your lesson?"
After saying that, he picked her up and slapped her twice more.
"My lord! Save me!" Aunt Liu was truly terrified.
The princess is not afraid of the marquis. If she were to get really angry, she could beat him to death and the marquis wouldn't dare to hold her accountable.
"What day is it today? You wretched woman, you think your son can compete with An'er? Take a look at who you are."
Still not satisfied with what he said, he kicked Aunt Liu twice.
The servants of the Marquis's mansion were used to the series of changes, but Jiang Chuwei was utterly dumbfounded.
Is the princess really that strong?
She glanced at Marquis Yongning, her veins bulging with anger, but dared not defend Consort Liu.
After the princess finished disciplining Concubine Liu in front of everyone, the maid quickly brought water for the princess to wash her hands.
"Whatever the young master does, I, the princess, will not let you off the hook." The princess threw the handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands at Aunt Liu's face.
This action is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
At this moment, Marquis Yongning remained silent, as if he were mute.
Throughout the entire process, apart from Aunt Liu's crying, no one made a sound.
Jiang Chuwei gave Princess Qingning a thumbs up.
If I had known the princess was so good at fighting, I wouldn't have bothered with all that effort.
Princess Qingning looked proud. Her mother was dignified and elegant when she needed to be, and ruthless when she needed to be a shrew.
When her uncle was determined to protect Consort Liu, Princess Qingning sent someone to invite her mother.
Without saying a word, my mother came running over.
No one is more important than her nephew.
Aunt Liu was dragged away.
Marquis Yongning glared at his wife with hatred, then flicked his sleeves and left.
Marquis Yongning had no way to deal with his younger sister.
Before she got married, she was favored by the Empress Dowager and was given the title of Princess.
The Marquis of Yongning could neither be beaten nor scolded. By the time he inherited the title, his sister had become a princess.
From a young age, the princess was domineering. When she was angry, she would even beat her own brother, let alone a lowly concubine.
Jiang Chuwei had witnessed the princess's fierceness. She glanced at the madam, who awkwardly forced a smile.
Being dominated by a concubine was indeed a difficult experience.
But people still have to stand up on their own.
Jiang Chuwei shook her head. In her previous life, she even lost her life in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion.
She lives a worse life than the Lady of the Marquis, at least the Lady of the Marquis has a princess to back her up.
Jiang Chuwei called the Lady of the Marquis and the Princess Consort inside.
As expected, the prince did not fall asleep after this commotion.
Jiang Chuwei asked, "Do you want to be cured? Do you want to come back to life? Do you want to protect your mother?"
After being asked "Do you want to?" three times in a row, the prince resolutely raised his eyes and said, "Yes."
A single, simple word brought tears to Lady Hou's eyes: "Thank you, Miss Jiang!"
At this moment, Madam Hou realized that Miss Jiang had disregarded everything and exposed the true colors of the Marquis in order to inspire her son's confidence in overcoming his illness.
"Alright! I'll give you another pill. Go to sleep peacefully. When you wake up in three days, we'll defeat the Gu poison together."
Jiang Chuwei then took out a dark-colored pill, which Yan Shizi swallowed without hesitation.
The prince closed his eyes, and his breathing became steady.
When Jiang Chuwei tried to prick his forehead with a needle but received no response, she then began to administer the acupuncture.
The princess and the lady of the marquis stared intently without moving.
Jiang Chuwei then directed Prince Changsheng to take off the prince's pants.
She quickly grabbed a white cloth with holes to cover the area around the wound, leaving only the wound exposed.
Apply the prepared spirits to the surrounding area and wait for the spirits to dry before starting the acupuncture.
The princess asked curiously, "Why is your acupuncture technique different from that of the imperial physician?"
"Because this is for detoxification, while the imperial physician is for clearing the meridians and promoting blood circulation."
The princess stopped asking questions and instead looked at Jiang Chuwei with curiosity.
Previously, rumors circulated in the capital that Jiang Chuwei was a foolish woman who kept a mistress right under her nose without her noticing.
After only two meetings, the princess was convinced that this was an exceptionally intelligent woman, and that her acupuncture technique was steady and skillful.
The princess not only frequently suffered from headaches and fevers and would consult the imperial physicians, but she also received acupuncture treatments from them quite often.
The princess and the lady of the marquis exchanged a glance, and their confidence in the heir apparent's ability to stand up returned.
The two stopped bothering Jiang Chuwei and left the house together.
Looking at her much more haggard sister-in-law, the princess sighed heavily, "Sister-in-law! Why are you doing this to yourself!"
