Xie Lingqin watched from the shadows.
In front of Doctor Jiang's door, those whose pulse he had misdiagnosed, those who had been overcharged, and those who had died unjustly all came out and surrounded him, their voices filled with indignation.
Xie Lingqin smiled; Zihe's efficiency was truly remarkable.
Over the years, it wasn't that Dr. Jiang was truly skilled in medicine; it was simply that the common people couldn't fight against the rich and powerful.
Poor families, lacking medical knowledge or money, had nowhere to turn for help. However, Dr. Jiang was a frequently used doctor in the General's mansion, which was a source of great pride for ordinary people.
As soon as Dr. Jiang mentions his name, countless people stop in their tracks.
Therefore, now that he has fallen from grace, as soon as the news spread, people naturally rushed to him to tell their grievances.
At his advanced age, he first suffered imprisonment, then his reputation was ruined. Although Liu Yunzhou intervened and saved his life, he would probably be living a life worse than death from now on.
However, there is one thing that Xie Lingqin needs to confirm personally.
Therefore, Xie Lingqin secretly sneaked into Doctor Jiang's house.
The two courtyards were quite ordinary, except...
As they approached, they heard extremely suggestive sounds coming from the inner room, accompanied by the creaking of the bed...
It was quite intense.
But aren't there still so many people gathered outside?
These two are really carefree.
Xie Lingqin knew that this Doctor Jiang had married a widow who was more than ten years younger than him. It seemed that Doctor Jiang was truly wicked and was now getting his just deserts. He was in jail while his wife stayed at home.
Next, Xie Lingqin quietly searched around Doctor Jiang's house again before finally giving up hope.
It seems that the person who poisoned her did not come here, nor is there anything related to her poisoning.
Just as Xie Lingqin was about to turn over and leave the hospital, she heard that the "battle" inside the house had also ended. After a rustling sound of clothes being put on, a man in his late twenties opened the door, covered his face, looked around, and left with great satisfaction.
Is it an old cow eating young stag grass?
The man's figure seemed somewhat familiar in my memory.
Oh!
With a cold laugh, Xie Lingqin left the hospital without a sound. After strolling around the bustling main street, she bought a large bag of things and returned to the General's Mansion.
From afar, one could see a carriage bearing the insignia of the Prince Xian's residence parked at the entrance of the General's Mansion, with guards in full uniform standing watch beside it.
A few days later, the Wise Prince finally set foot in the General's Mansion? And so openly and honestly at that?
The wise prince may appear to be a refined gentleman, but in reality he is a scheming person. At this time, he doesn't seem like someone who would announce his relationship with Xie Lingyu. So, she is going to become someone else's tool again.
Regarding the matter between Prince Xian and Xie Lingyu, it was clear that Prince Xian had used some underhanded means to keep it quiet. Xie Lingqin did have a way to spread the rumors, but at the moment, she was no match for Prince Xian.
With a cold glint in her starry eyes, Xie Lingqin quietly entered the mansion with her belongings and slipped back to Qingfeng Pavilion.
The giant clam was no longer guarding the door. Zihe opened the door and went in. She was surprised to see Xie Lingqin coming in through the window with a large pile of food in her hands.
"Stop looking, just take it and eat it."
"Really, all of it is for me?"
"I would like to share some with others, but the origin of these things cannot be explained."
You can't exactly say that she sneaked out when she had just recovered from a cold.
Zihe accepted it with a puzzled look.
She thought that the young lady must be greedy for money and would never be so generous.
"Remember to tell me which one is the best after you finish eating," Xie Lingqin added.
"……yes."
Zihe wasn't a glutton, so she awkwardly swallowed a sweet date before saying, "Miss, the Prince Xian has arrived. He said that he was so resolute in announcing the engagement a few days ago, without considering your feelings. He has come today to apologize and has brought quite a few things. The General has also instructed you to have dinner together in the front hall tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin sneered, "As expected."
"The wise prince has always been known as a virtuous man, but who knows what he is really like behind the scenes? He said he was just looking at the young lady, but I'm afraid his real intentions are not what they seem."
“In this situation, I should be glad that I still have some value, so I'm not at too much of a loss.”
Zihe's expression tightened slightly. After pondering for a while, she said, "Miss, I heard in the Crown Prince's residence that although the General still holds the title of General, with the country pacified and there has been no war for a long time, he has long since relinquished all his power. The General's Mansion's honor and favor have declined day by day. Many people are eyeing the General's Mansion covetously because of your mother, Miss, but they are also wary of it. Therefore, they all stay far away from the General's Mansion. As for the matter of the Prince Xian's closeness to the Second Miss, no matter what, the Prince Xian cannot say it to outsiders. So, no matter what, it is you who are wronged."
After spending a few days together, Zihe became more talkative.
Moreover, they see things very clearly.
However, Xie Lingqin listened with a faint smile on her smooth, jade-like face. "I'm not aggrieved. Didn't you just say that the Prince Xian brought many gifts? There should be some that can be sold, right?"
Zihe...
Looking at the large pile of food spread on the mahogany table, she awkwardly raised her head and said, "Miss, I ate all of this. You're not going to make me pay for it, are you?"
"Oh, no, at most, they'll just deduct a little from your allowance."
Zihe...
Smile.
Can she not eat?
Xie Lingqin looked at her with a sweet smile on her face.
The slight curve of her eyebrows made Zihe momentarily stunned.
Because she acted prudently and knew her place in the Crown Prince's residence, she was able to serve in the inner courtyard and thus saw the Crown Prince most of the time.
Having grown accustomed to the Crown Prince's heavenly face, they believed that no one in the world could surpass or rival him.
