Chapter 303 The Song family won't take it seriously? I will!
Ji Qingwu was completely baffled.
What are you doing carrying this thing here?
Ma Pozi raised her slanted eyes and said, "This is our unborn young master, this poor child..."
Ji Qingwu said, "As far as I know, a perfectly healthy person cannot give birth to an animal. Are your master and mistress not human, or have you gone mad?"
The bloody, mangled contents inside the box—she recognized the smell immediately—as a deer placenta.
Ma Pozi suddenly raised her voice, shouting loudly out of guilt.
"Everyone, come and judge this! She actually dared to speak rudely to our master and mistress, saying they weren't human!"
Ji Qingwu had a headache from her shouting and just frowned.
Suddenly, a gleaming, cold iron sword was placed against Ma Pozi's neck.
The old woman's hand trembled, and the treasure box fell to the ground, almost hitting Wei Tongyou's feet who was holding the sword.
Wei Tongyou took a step back in disgust, the blade of her sword slicing through Ma Pozi's earrings, the silver beads being cut in two by the razor-sharp sword and falling into the pile of blood.
"Don't move around," Wei Tongyou warned.
The fleshy part of Ma Pozi's chin could feel the chill of the cold sword, and goosebumps rose on her neck.
They dared not move or speak again.
Ji Qingwu raised an eyebrow at Wei Tongyou, surprised that this girl was quite capable.
Wei Tongyou turned her face away and snorted.
"She's too noisy, I didn't mean to help you."
She had just heard that Ji Qingwu denied that Su Xiang's daughter's miscarriage was related to her, and Wei Tongyou wanted to draw her sword and kill the old woman.
Although she didn't like Ji Wu, no matter what, Ji Wu was the woman her eldest brother had married, and she couldn't let outsiders bully her.
Moreover, judging from Ji Qingwu's words, this old woman must have used some dirty things to fool them, which is truly despicable.
Madam Wei's complexion improved somewhat.
She did not stop Tongyou's actions. Being bullied at their doorstep, it was only right for a righteous descendant of a military family to react this way.
Ji Qingwu smiled, casually picked up a wooden stick from beside the guard, and started poking at the bloodstains at the old woman's feet.
Among the onlookers, the timid ones had turned pale, but the new lady of the Guan family wore a relaxed smile and showed no fear whatsoever.
Ji Qingwu said slowly, "This is not a miscarried, premature fetus at all, but a fawn's placenta. Isn't it too obvious that you're trying to frame me by bringing this up?"
Why would someone want to pull such a dirty trick in front of someone else, but to do it to Ji Qingwu, a renowned gynecologist?
This is also a highly nourishing medicinal herb called deer placenta. It is best used to replenish qi and strengthen the body after being dried.
Ji Qingwu used a wooden stick to pick up the deer placenta and handed it to the woman who had just "spoke out for justice".
"You gave birth there, do you recognize her?"
The woman's face flushed red as she said to the old woman, "You're trying to fool us with this thing. What are you trying to do?"
Ji Qingwu asked the innermost circle of people, "Who wants to take a closer look and see if what I said is right?"
Everyone was terrified and tried to avoid it, and the crowd immediately dispersed.
The area in front of the Wei family mansion, which had been bustling with chatter just moments before, fell silent.
Ji Qingwu felt much quieter. She threw away the blood-stained stick and looked at Su Fengyue, who was standing there watching her.
As soon as Ji Qingwu appeared with her light and graceful steps, Su Fengyue's gaze moved from the hem of her skirt upwards, and very slowly down to her face.
It hasn't been moved to this day.
Ji Qingwu had already sensed the uncomfortable gaze, but she wanted to stop the old woman's clamor first.
At this moment, her clear, bright eyes swept across.
"This must be Prime Minister Su."
Su Fengyue's lips twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "According to Madam Wei's words, I should call you Madam Wei. I see that you are very insightful despite your young age. Perhaps this matter is just a misunderstanding."
Instead of being aggressive, they said it was a misunderstanding.
Ji Qingwu sized up the old man. Although he was old, he had a clear and sharp face and exuded a refined and aloof air.
Everyone thought that with Su Xiang saying this, the matter would be over.
Madam Wei nodded and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, Lord Su, please come in. I won't see you out."
Su Fengyue straightened his wide robes, turned and left, with Granny Ma leading her entourage after him.
"Wait!"
A clear and pleasant female voice came from behind me.
Ji Qingwu twitched his lips, his eyes burning with an intense light.
She questioned, "So whether I'm wrong or not depends on what your Su and Song families say. Whatever you say is the truth."
Su Fengyue turned around and said, "No matter what, I am willing to believe that Madam Wei will not harm anyone. I can vouch for her, and the Song family will no longer make things difficult for you."
Ji Qingwu sensed the "protection" in his words and retorted sarcastically, "Lord Su, I have nothing to do with you. Why are you vouching for me? Why don't you stand on the side of your own daughter? That's really strange."
Before Su Fengyue could speak, Ji Qingwu continued like a machine gun, "The Song family may not care, but I do!"
"First, Song Wei came to my clinic to slander me, and now this old woman is causing trouble at the Wei family's door. You have ruined my good reputation in Lin'an. Lord Su must know the principle that slander can destroy a person."
Su Fengyue said, "It seems that Madam Wei is truly upright and has nothing to fear. Why don't you come with me to the Song family for a face-to-face confrontation? What do you think, Madam Wei?"
Wei Tongyou couldn't help but remind her, "Don't be foolish! Don't ruin yourself for the sake of a fight of pride."
If Ji Qingwu had actually gone to the Song family and failed to uncover the truth, it might have caused an even bigger uproar, and the situation wouldn't have been so easily resolved today.
Madam Wei looked at Ji Qingwu with a serious expression, but did not say anything.
Granny Cao whispered, "Madam, we can't let the Song family take Madam away..."
There are too many secrets in the inner quarters, and people can turn black into white. Even if Ji Qingwu didn't do anything wrong, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be framed by someone when she's on the Song family's territory.
The old lady shook her head almost imperceptibly.
Su Fengyue's suggestion was exactly what Ji Qingwu wanted.
She smiled and said, "Regarding Madam Song's miscarriage, if it is found that it was caused by someone else, Lord Su, have you thought about what to do?"
Su Fengyue said loudly, "As the Prime Minister, I guarantee that I will handle this matter impartially and without favoritism."
"good."
Ji Qingwu curved her lips into a smile, showing no sign of timidity.
*
The Song family.
After entering the gate, Ji Qingwu felt as if Ma Pozi's gaze had pierced two holes in her back, but she ignored it.
Ji Qingwu frowned after taking a few steps.
The entrance looks like a small, unassuming house, but once you step inside, you'll discover a hidden gem.
This was the first time Ji Qingwu had ever seen a family erect a magnificent, gilded archway behind their mansion gate.
As she got closer, she realized that it wasn't paint, but made of pure gold.
How much military rations could this golden archway be exchanged for...?
Ji Qingwu did not believe that the emperor was unaware of this matter.
