Chapter 411 Mad Woman
Madam Dou was so angry that she fell backwards, "You——"
She didn't expect Xu Zhichun to say this in public.
Nanny Qin Qing glared at the maid beside her, "This Nanny is kindhearted, but it was such a coincidence that when you fell, you just happened to push that crazy woman and almost killed my wife."
Madam Dou didn't feel guilty at all and even managed a smile: "I really wanted to help Madam Xu, who knew it would be such a coincidence? Madam Xu won't blame me, will she?"
Madam Dou sneered, "Madam Xu is very kind. How could she blame you for your kindness? Besides, isn't Madam Xu fine?"
Xu Zhichun looked at Madam Fan with a frown, "Madam Fan, what's going on with that crazy woman?"
Mrs. Fan's face remained grim as she managed to say, "Ever since her daughter was murdered by someone she met two years ago, she's been acting mad. I felt sorry for her having nowhere else to go, so I had her placed in this villa. I didn't expect her to run out and go crazy today, and almost hurt Mrs. Xu. I'm truly sorry."
"So that's how it is."
The doctor came quickly and prescribed some medicine.
Nanny Qin Qing helped Xu Zhichun clean his wound, apply medicine and bandage it, and change him into clean clothes.
After such a commotion, the flower viewing banquet naturally could not continue, and everyone quickly said goodbye.
Mrs. Fan wanted to send a carriage to take Xu Zhichun back to the inn, but Xu Zhichun declined.
Mrs. Fan felt that she was ungrateful and could not help but feel angry. Her face darkened and she remained silent.
After the guests left, Mrs. Fan could no longer bear it and slapped Mrs. Dou in the face.
Madam Dou covered her face with her hands and wept, her body limp as she knelt down. "I know my sister will blame me, but when I think of how wronged and pitiful my son is, my heart aches. I can't swallow this anger. The dagger is only half-bladed. It won't kill anyone in a short time. At most, it will cause serious injury or disfigurement. If she really wants to make a fuss, the worst that can happen is to hand her crazy mother-in-law over to her and let her do whatever she wants."
"I didn't expect she was only slightly injured. I'm still not convinced."
"you--"
Mrs. Fan's anger subsided after the slap, and then she subsided a little more after hearing Mrs. Dou's words. She said unhappily, "Why didn't you discuss this with me first?"
Madam Dou breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Wouldn't it be better if my sister didn't know anything? Let her come to me with whatever she has."
Mrs. Fan waved her hand in annoyance, "Forget it! Be careful, that Xu family might not let it go."
Madam Dou sneered, "If she has the guts to seek revenge on that crazy woman, let her do as she pleases. What does it have to do with me? If she dares to pick a fight with me, that's perfect. I'd love it."
Xu Zhichun and Nanny Qin Qing returned to the inn, their faces still pale.
Liang Minglang's eyes were so sharp that even though the wound was bandaged inside his clothes and not visible, he still saw it. "You're injured? What happened?"
Xu Zhichun was in so much pain that he became fragile when he saw him, his eyes red. Unexpectedly, before he could complain, he asked, "I ran into a lunatic. The injury is on my shoulder. Don't touch it."
There was also a cut on the arm, but it was only a superficial injury in comparison.
Liang Minglang's eyes were slightly cold, and he helped her sit down, "Let me take a look."
Gently opening her clothes, the scent of healing medicine spread, revealing the snow-white cotton gauze bandage. Liang Minglang felt a tremor in his heart, and gently stroked it with his fingertips, feeling very tender. "Does it hurt a lot? Can I untie it and take a look at the wound?"
Xu Zhichun nodded slightly.
Liang Minglang carefully untied the gauze. The wound on his shoulder was nearly half a finger long. The middle of the wound was dark purple and at least half an inch deep. If it was any deeper, it would have touched the tendons and bones.
The wounds coated with ointment looked hideous and colorful, contrasting with the surrounding white skin, which was shocking.
He didn't dare to think about how much pain she would feel when the blade pierced her.
He couldn't bear to hurt his wife in the slightest, yet he allowed himself to be hurt like this.
"This ointment is quite effective. Just use it like this for now. Don't be afraid, the pain will go away soon."
Xu Zhichun tilted her head to glance at the wound and then looked away. She hadn't expected the wound to become so hideous. She smiled and said, "I don't know if it will leave a scar."
"Won't!"
He would find better medicine for her.
"But what if he stays?"
Xu Zhichun looked up at him.
Liang Minglang gently stroked her face and said, "If you want to stay, then keep it. It doesn't matter what."
Xu Zhichun smiled and felt a little better.
Liang Minglang still carefully bandaged her wound loosely with a layer of gauze, tidied her clothes, and asked her why.
Crazy woman?
Even if the crazy woman was out of her mind and broke in madly, where did the dagger in her hand come from?
Even if Mrs. Fan Tongzhi had a grudge against her family because of the Qi family, and even if she had no good intentions in planning anything at this flower viewing banquet, she would not have done it so blatantly.
So it was most likely Mrs. Dou’s idea?
The two of them are relatives, so it may not be impossible for Madam Dou to secretly arrange something in that villa.
After instructing Nanny Qin Qing to take good care of Xu Zhichun, Liang Minglang left the inn, went to a bookstore, asked for a visiting card, filled it out casually, stamped it with his personal seal, and delivered it to the doorman of Yang Zhifu.
"Make sure to hand it over to the prefect. If you make any mistakes, you will bear the consequences."
The kid was difficult to deal with. He had to say harsh words and give benefits to him, along with a reward of about one penny of silver. The doorman smiled and respectfully took the visiting card with both hands, then turned and went on his way.
The visiting card from Yang Zhifu usually reached the hands of the legal advisor first. The legal advisor casually checked and screened it as a routine matter. When he opened it and saw the seal, he was shocked. He quickly closed the card and hurried to find Yang Zhifu.
Magistrate Yang, who was a little drowsy, woke up instantly after seeing the post and said, "Come in!"
Even though the rank of General Xie, the trusted lieutenant general of Marquis Yongwei, was equal to his, he was no match for him. If he casually said a few words to Marquis Yongwei, he would never be able to make any further progress in his life.
Liang Minglang already regretted it. If he had known that Xu Zhichun would suffer this injustice, he should have gone to Magistrate Yang earlier.
When he met with Prefect Yang, he did not ask for anything. He just said that he had some personal matters to discuss with Co-Minister Fan. There might be a conflict, and Prefect Yang could handle it impartially.
Also, please keep the fact that he came here a secret.
Yang Zhifu was relieved immediately and agreed without hesitation.
What's so difficult about this?
It turned out that it was Fan Tongzhi who had offended this person, and he was eager to see Fan Tongzhi taught a lesson.
Mrs. Dou's family lives in Qingyang County. She was heartbroken and resentful about what happened to her son Dou Zhongli, so she went to Mrs. Qi to cry and complain. Together, they asked Mrs. Fan for help and pleaded for her sympathy.
Mrs. Fan was already unhappy because Xu Zhichun had not given her face before, and when she heard the two people instigating her, she became even more angry.
Dou Zhongli is such a great student, a rare rising star. The family prospers and suffers together. It is rare to have such an outstanding younger generation. Mrs. Fan also admires him very much.
Unexpectedly, the Liang family ruined such a promising rising star and the future of the family.
Once the stain is stained, it will be difficult to wash it off in this lifetime.
He has to work many times harder to get something that he could easily get before.
If someone becomes jealous, this past event might be picked out and attacked.
