He was quite frustrated at the moment, "General, if not, I will personally..."
"Enough, General. Now, let's wait for the female doctor to arrive. I..." General Xie looked up at the sky, his expression revealing his deep sorrow.
"Father, don't worry, I've already sent someone to fetch him right away, and I believe he'll arrive soon," Xie Lingyu said, stepping forward to reassure him.
At this moment, it doesn't matter whether Aunt Wan and the child in her womb live or die, because Xie Danling can testify that he saw Xie Lingqin push her.
However, in everyone's eyes, the one who was truly so frightened that Aunt Wan collapsed to the ground was Xie Danling. He was the only legitimate son of the General's Mansion, so the General would not do anything to him.
The wise prince glanced at the tightly closed door of the small house, his brow furrowed in thought. If he helped General Xie today, not only would General Xie be extremely grateful to him, but Xie Lingqin would also feel grateful to him.
"If not me, I will send someone to invite the Empress Dowager..."
"General, Elder Dong has arrived."
Before Yuwen Xian could finish speaking, a guard came excitedly from outside the courtyard to report.
General Xie's expression hardened, and Yuwen Xian's lips tightened as he looked at the newcomer uncertainly and asked, "Old Dong has arrived?"
The guard, of course, was unaware of what had just happened. Qingyi had moved back and forth using her light-footed skills, so he, who was guarding outside the mansion gate, naturally hadn't seen it. He hurriedly said, "They've arrived! Miss has really brought them here."
Even the Prince Xian couldn't get anyone to come, so Xie Lingqin... could be said to be the most disgraced person in the entire Beirong City. She only sent a maid, and Old Master Dong rushed over in a hurry.
As everyone pondered this, they saw Zihe following behind Elder Dong, carrying something to come in.
Zihe, with a calm demeanor, stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "General, Elder Dong has arrived."
"Elder Dong..."
"General, there's no need for such formalities. Checking on the person is the priority." As he spoke, Old Dong gestured to a female doctor who was following Zihe in, "Go into the inner room in a moment, explain the situation, and I'll give you instructions from the outer room."
"Yes." The female doctor was very young, but she respected Elder Dong very much. She nodded slightly, then took the medicine box, walked towards the main house, and pushed open the door to enter.
"This..." General Xie finally realized what was happening and looked at Elder Dong. "Isn't this Qin Xiangling, the female physician who just gained the Emperor's favor and entered the Imperial Hospital? Elder Dong actually brought her along." General Xie looked incredulous.
This is amazing! Not only did Elder Dong come, but the newly promoted leaders of the Imperial Medical Academy were also invited.
"Oh." Old Master Dong smiled slightly. "This young lady is clever and polite. She happened to run into me today, and when she learned that it was Miss who needed help, she immediately followed me without saying a word."
"Oh..." General Xie was now at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Should we say that her daughter has a lot of face, or that he has something to be proud of?
Xie Lingqin had overheard everything that was said in the courtyard. Looking at Qin Xiangling, who had already walked in and put down her medicine box, she glanced at her coldly and said bluntly, "I don't know you."
The female physician, whose demeanor was refined and composed, looked young but was actually quite mature. She smiled slightly and said, "I've only heard about your opposition to the Crown Prince on behalf of the Zong government."
"Huh?" A hint of amusement suddenly appeared in Xie Lingqin's eyes.
“Like you, I don’t like the Crown Prince.” The female doctor continued, “Of course, Elder Dong is clearly trying to save face for you, it’s nothing serious.”
This female doctor is quite interesting.
Xie Lingqin didn't have time to chat with the woman any longer. Seeing that the woman meant no harm, she led her to the bed.
The female doctor approached and took a look, her eyes widening in surprise, "This..."
"Oh, I saw she was in so much pain, so I found a needle in the house and pricked her a couple of times."
"You... the needle needs to be soaked in alcohol before it can..."
"Oh, don't worry, it'll still be disinfected after I've passed through the fire," Xie Lingqin said calmly.
The female doctor breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes narrowing as she asked, "You applied the needles to the key points of pain relief, and you controlled the timing perfectly. You... you know medicine?"
Xie Lingqin shook her head, her answer clear: "No."
The female doctor clearly didn't believe her.
"Oh, I've been reading about Elder Dong's acupuncture book for a while."
"Just watching for a little while, and then..."
“So, you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you.” Xie Lingqin said, stepping forward to remove the needles she had previously inserted. “Now, I’m handing them over to you.”
As soon as she removed the needle, Aunt Wan immediately began to suffer.
Xie Lingqin respected doctors, sighed, and stepped back out of the outer room. At this moment, Old Master Dong also walked in.
"Mr. Dong, you've worked hard." Xie Lingqin said meaningfully.
"Hmph, I've helped you so much today, you'd better think about how to repay me."
"I'll repay you with my body."
Old Master Dong fixed his gaze on Xie Lingqin, looked her up and down, then shook his head and scoffed, "Indecent."
"You're so serious."
“I’m telling you, girl, after what you did today, you really need to be careful from now on. The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow.”
"Why not stand out from the crowd?" Xie Lingqin's lips curled into a wicked smile. "When a wall falls, everyone kicks it. If my wall were suddenly covered in gold leaf, wouldn't those who want to kick it think twice before they act?"
The girl had a cool and aloof face, a resolute expression, a smile on her lips, and cold, piercing eyes. At this moment, her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of hard armor.
She watches the madness of the masses with amusement, while she remains aloof, mocking and ridiculing them.
At this moment, having missed Elder Dong's gaze, Xie Lingqin looked toward the doorway.
Xie Danling stood there, looking ashamed.
"Come in," Xie Lingqin beckoned.
"What?"
"You, come in and stand in the outer room to entertain Elder Dong," Xie Lingqin said, without any politeness.
Although Xie Danling felt guilty towards Aunt Wan, it didn't mean he would be kind to Xie Lingqin. He was about to retort when General Xie glanced at him from the side, and he immediately slunk in.
