Chapter 89 Why Did I Slap Her Face?
Li Leyao couldn't believe her ears.
Qin Jinzhi, did she want her to eat that trampled flower?
Yun Jin said to a servant behind her, "Bring the things over."
A servant boy was holding a cloth bag in his hands.
Yun Jin took it and threw it directly in front of Li Leyao.
The cloth bag was thrown open, revealing trampled mandalas and floral mud covered in petals!
Li Muli quickly said, "Princess! It's all my daughter's fault! I'm willing to compensate your friend, however much silver you can give! Otherwise, I'll have my daughter apologize to your friend in person!"
Qin Jinzhi laughed smugly, "Great! As long as she forgives you, I'll let bygones be bygones. Yun Jin, go and call Liu Yiyi."
Li Muli quickly said, "Thank you, Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi raised a finger to her lips, "Don't thank me yet, it's not over yet."
She looked at the servant whose hand Li Leyao had stepped on and said, "Let General Li see your hand."
The servant was so frightened by Qin Jinzhi's display that he fainted.
Upon hearing her words, he immediately stepped forward and extended his hand.
His entire hand was red and swollen, with muddy footprints on it, clearly indicating that it had been trampled on heavily.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "General Li, have you seen it clearly?"
Li Muli glared at Li Leyao and immediately said, "This humble general will find a doctor for this young man right away, and also offer some compensation, Princess. Is that alright?"
Qin Jinzhi seemed to have heard something amusing, "Do you think I'm short of money?"
Li Muli's expression also turned ugly.
The national treasury was empty, and the grain and salary were almost entirely provided by the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion.
No one in the world is short of money, but Qin Jinzhi is not!
Li Muli didn't know why Qin Jinzhi suddenly started this trouble today, but he knew that if this matter wasn't resolved, things wouldn't be over.
He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "What does Your Highness think should be done?"
Qin Jinzhi leaned forward, her arms resting on her legs.
"She crippled someone's hand, so she has to compensate them with another hand. How about that? I'm being fair, aren't I?"
Li Muli suddenly looked up; she actually wanted one of Le Yao's hands!
Qin Jinzhi looked at the servant and said, "Break her hand."
The servant looked at Qin Jinzhi with a troubled expression. This Li Leyao was General Li's youngest daughter!
The prince also dotes on her, how could he allow him to break Li Leyao's hand!
He said tremblingly, "Princess, perhaps we should just forget about it. My hand doesn't hurt anymore. I can just apply some medicine when I get back."
Li Leyao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the servant's words. Since she was standing up for the servant, and the servant had said so, Qin Jinzhi probably wouldn't make things difficult for her anymore!
Upon hearing his words, Qin Jinzhi slowly leaned back in her chair, frowning slightly. "It doesn't hurt anymore?"
Yun Que picked up the sword from the ground and flashed to the servant's side.
With a swift movement, the sword fell, followed by a bloodcurdling scream.
The servant's arm fell to the ground.
"ah!!!!"
Blood splattered directly onto the faces of Li Muli and his daughter.
Qin Jinzhi smiled brightly, "It must hurt now."
Li Mu had been away from military campaigns for many years, and he exuded a fierce aura.
No one had ever given him the creeps he felt.
Soldiers have a natural sense of vigilance when facing danger.
He could never be wrong about his feelings!
He actually sensed a dangerous aura emanating from this inexperienced young girl.
"Who trampled my mandala!"
Before Liu Yiyi saw him, she heard his voice, and she could already tell how angry he was.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the servant rolling on the ground. Seeing that his arm was still bleeding, she looked at Qin Jinzhi with some disgust and asked, "Should we do anything about it?"
Qin Jinzhi raised her chin. "Stop the bleeding for him."
Liu Yiyi took out an acupuncture kit from her sleeve, inserted thirteen gold needles, and the bleeding from the servant's arm stopped.
She stood up and turned around to see the trampled mandalas on the ground.
He broke down right then and there!
"My mandala! Who is it?!"
Li Muli quickly regained his senses and said, "Honorable guest, please don't be angry. My daughter is naughty and doesn't know her own limits. She trampled your flowers, and I am willing to pay ten times the amount of silver as compensation!"
"No amount of silver will do! This is Western Region Datura! The pain relief pills made for the old prince are waiting for this Datura to be added to the medicine!"
Li Leyao was on the verge of fainting, and this was actually medicine meant for Qin's grandfather.
Li Muli never expected that a mere female doctor would dare to defy him like this. Did she not know his identity?
“Young lady, I am General Li Muli. If you do not wish to pay, I will send someone to find an identical datura for you tomorrow. Please forgive me.”
"Exactly the same? This is a seed I brought back from the Western Regions and cultivated myself! How could you find me the same one! Are you blind! My datura is so big, and you trampled it to pieces! You did it on purpose? Why should I forgive her!"
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly, "General Li, there's nothing we can do about it. She said she won't forgive your daughter."
Li Muli said urgently, "Young lady, if you can plead for my daughter, I will reward you handsomely. My daughter is weak and may not be able to withstand eating this filthy thing. Besides, you wouldn't want to see our Zhenbei Prince's family fall out over such a small matter, would you?"
His words were half pleading and half threatening.
Liu Yiyi looked at the datura on the ground with heartache.
Hearing his words, she turned around, sneered, and looked down at him, saying, "So, you're saying the princess wants your daughter to eat this crushed datura as an apology to me?"
Li Muli was silent for a moment, then said, “Indeed, the princess said that as long as you forgive my daughter, she will not hold this matter against you. If you plead for my daughter, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”
Liu Yiyi scoffed, hands on her hips, looking at him. "The princess is standing up for me, why should I slap her in the face?"
The servant on the ground trembled upon hearing this!
He immediately understood why the princess had done this!
The master stood up for him, but he directly slapped the master in the face!
Isn't this betraying one's master?
The princess would be lucky to get even one of his arms!
Li Muli's pupils dilated in shock. This woman was so utterly ruthless!
Liu Yiyi squatted down in front of Li Leyao. "Will you eat by yourself, or should I feed you?"
Dian Fengyang could no longer contain himself and rushed over, saying, "How dare you! Who are you to speak to the young lady of General Zhongwu's family like that!"
Xue Huaiyi immediately closed his eyes!
Why is his second brother so impatient!
Didn't he understand what I meant by the look I gave him?
The princess just wanted to give her elder brother a warning!
The eldest brother didn't even ask his adoptive father for help. Besides the fact that his adoptive father unconditionally doted on the little princess, he must have figured out what was going on!
Liu Yiyi didn't care who Dian Fengyang was. "This is the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. I am a guest invited by Princess Jinzhi. Who do you think you are to lecture me?"
The master hasn't even spoken, yet you jump out, trying to overstep your bounds?
Dian Fengyang never expected Liu Yiyi to be so arrogant!
He turned to Qin Jinzhi and said, "Princess! Are you just going to stand by and watch this little woman bully our own family!"
Qin Jinzhi didn't even raise her head. "General Dian, are you going to take the blame for her?"
