Chapter 384 My wrist was crushed by Shen Wantang!
Xiao Qingxi immediately got up and chased after him: "Huo Yunzhou, you stop right there! Who gave you permission to go see that bitch? Come back here!"
Xiao Qingyuan also chased after her, saying, "Yunzhou, calm down! Rouxin won't see you. You should leave our palace immediately!"
Seeing that they were all acting recklessly and angrily, Princess Ning hurriedly instructed Shen Wantang, "Quickly, Tang'er, go and check on them, don't let them cause any trouble!"
Shen Wantang responded and followed him out.
"Granny Quan, go and follow Qingxi. Make sure she doesn't aggravate the pregnancy again. If things get serious, bring Qingxi back to me even if you have to carry her!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
On the connecting corridor outside Shaoguang Courtyard, Xiao Qingyuan stopped Huo Yunzhou.
When Shen Wantang arrived, Xiao Qingxi was clutching her stomach and crying, "Huo Yunzhou, you only care about Lin Rouxin, but you don't care about me and the baby at all! Aren't you afraid that you'll make me sick and cause both of us to die? Are the lives of my child and me worth less than Lin Rouxin's?!"
Huo Yunzhou's expression did not improve at all because she mentioned the child in her belly; on the contrary, it became even colder: "Xiao Qingxi, don't try to threaten me with the child!"
"You know better than anyone how humble and tolerant I was in front of you! But no matter how good I am to you, I can't get even a shred of your understanding in return!"
"You don't treat me like a human being, nor do you treat Rouxin like a human being! So, even if I don't want this child, I still want a divorce!"
Enraged, Xiao Qingxi raised her hand to slap Huo Yunzhou.
But Huo Yunzhou grabbed her wrist: "You want to hit me again? Xiao Qingxi, I'm getting a divorce from you, you don't think I'll let you hit and scold me, do you?"
After he finished speaking, he shook off Xiao Qingxi's hand and strode towards the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, calling out Lin Rouxin's name as he walked.
Xiao Qingyuan hurriedly chased after Huo Yunzhou, ignoring Xiao Qingxi.
Shen Wantang naturally didn't intend to interfere. She was about to pass by Xiao Qingxi when she was stopped by her.
Shen Wantang glanced at her: "Why is the princess stopping me?"
"You concubine's daughter, were you secretly laughing at me just now? Were you cursing me in your heart?!"
"Your Highness is overthinking it."
"Don't you pride yourself on being the mistress of our Ning Prince's Mansion? Then why didn't you just curse that treacherous bastard Huo Yunzhou for me? Why didn't you kick him out of the Ning Prince's Mansion for me?!"
Shen Wantang glanced at Granny Quan not far away, knowing that the Princess had sent her to protect Xiao Qingxi. She suppressed the urge to mock Xiao Qingxi and said calmly, "Isn't it inappropriate for an outsider like me to interfere in the affairs between the Princess and General Huo? Besides, the Heir Apparent was there just now. He is the Princess's own brother, and he didn't say anything. So I can't overstep his bounds and interfere in the Princess's affairs."
"Excuses! These are all excuses! You just have a grudge against me and are deliberately watching the show! You're deliberately letting Huo Yunzhou insult me so you can laugh at me!"
Xiao Qingxi's pent-up anger finally found an outlet. She cursed and swore at Shen Wantang from head to toe. In the end, even Kang Mama and Quan Mama couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but persuade her to stop cursing.
But Xiao Qingxi not only ignored her, but also raised her hand and slapped Shen Wantang across the face.
Shen Wantang reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist and coldly asking, "What does the princess mean by this? You failed to hit General Huo earlier, so you're now venting your anger on me? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, the princess seems no different from a commoner."
"Shen Wantang, how dare you squeeze my wrist? Let go of me right now! If you break my wrist, I'll chop off your whole arm!"
Shen Wantang suddenly smiled at her: "How could I possibly break the princess's wrist with my strength? Besides, I was holding back, so the princess shouldn't make false accusations."
After Shen Wantang finished speaking, she released Xiao Qingxi's hand and left with her maid.
Behind her, Xiao Qingxi suddenly screamed, "Ah! My wrist! My wrist was crushed by Shen Wantang! It hurts so much!"
Shen Wantang's lips curled into a cold smile as she walked away without looking back.
Kang Mama and Quan Mama stepped forward to examine Xiao Qingxi's wrist. After the examination, they looked at each other and both felt that Xiao Qingxi was faking it.
"Princess, your wrist is fine. Look, there isn't even a red mark!"
"Nonsense! My wrist hurts terribly, the bone must be broken! Quick, call the imperial physician!"
"Princess, this old servant has already checked your wrist, the bone is fine, please don't worry!"
"Impossible! How could I be alright! Shen Wantang is treacherous and vicious. She must have injured my wrist. Can't you two good-for-nothings see that? Quickly, call the imperial physician!"
Granny Quan and Granny Kang had no choice but to report to the Princess and have the imperial physician summoned for her.
Before the imperial physician arrived, she kept crying out in pain beside Princess Ning.
Princess Ning examined Xiao Qingxi's wrist but found nothing wrong. She repeatedly asked the two nannies, who said that Shen Wantang had only squeezed Xiao Qingxi's wrist briefly and hadn't used any force.
"Qingxi, are you really in pain? You're not faking it? You're not just pretending to be in pain to frame your sister-in-law, are you?"
Xiao Qingxi was so angry she almost jumped up: "Mother, you don't believe me?! I'm your own daughter, how can you not believe me and believe an outsider like Shen Wantang!"
"It's not that your mother doesn't believe you, it's that you always go against your sister-in-law, scolding and framing her almost every day. Today, both of the nannies saw it. You were the one who tried to hit her first. She just grabbed your wrist and blocked your slap. Why did it hurt so much?"
Xiao Qingxi shouted angrily, "It really hurts! That damned Shen Wantang, I don't know what kind of underhanded methods she used, but my wrist hurts like it's been broken! Why isn't the imperial physician here yet? Once the imperial physician comes and takes a look, my innocence will definitely be cleared! Mother will then know just how insidious that Shen Wantang is!"
Princess Ning was half-believing and half-doubting. In the past, she would have unconditionally trusted her daughter, but now, she herself was not sure.
Because her daughter's personality has changed drastically recently, and her moods are unpredictable, she often makes false accusations against people without reason. This is not only true for Shen Wantang, but also for her own brother.
Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived quickly; it was Physician Zhou again.
As soon as Physician Zhou arrived, he took Xiao Qingxi's pulse and found that she had become very angry, which caused the fetus to be unstable and there were signs of miscarriage. He was furious: "Princess, take care of your health, otherwise even if I, this old man, were Hua Tuo reborn, I wouldn't be able to save this baby!"
Xiao Qingxi immediately said, "I called you here today not to help you with your pregnancy, but because someone crushed my wrist! Take a look at it quickly!"
