Jin Yi Fuqi was about to explode on the spot.
She stared with a pair of red eyes and roared: "Qu Li, you——"
“Pah-pah—”
Before she could finish her words, she was slapped twice in the face, and all the words were stuck in her throat.
It was the first time for the others to see Qu Li so ferocious.
You know, it was this group of people who bullied her in the past, and they never thought that Qu Li would be so terrifying now.
Qu Li was frowning and rubbing his hands at this time.
Force and action are mutual. The more force she used to hit Jinianfu, the more painful her hand would be!
After thinking for a while, she frowned and took out a small scalpel from the space.
The blade glowed white, reflecting the sunlight and bringing a chilling chill.
Normally these noble ladies only dared to speak and make sarcastic remarks, and coupled with Qu Li's intimidating behavior just now, they all retreated at this moment, which forced Ji Nianfu and Rong Yehua to be exposed in front of everyone.
Qu Li tilted his head and glanced at Ji Nian Fu with raised eyebrows.
"You're so brave to call me by my first name!"
After Ji Nianfu suffered a series of losses and seeing her holding a scalpel, he finally learned to be honest.
But in front of so many people, she always wanted to save face, so even if she was afraid, she would not admit her mistake to Qu Li.
Qu Li didn't want her apology. What she wanted was to get rid of the problem once and for all. In the future, when these so-called noble ladies with bad mouths saw her again, they had better take a detour.
Rong Yehua was also nervous. She pinched her fingers and blocked Ji Nian Fu behind her with a righteous look.
"Princess Chen, even if Nianfu did something wrong, you can't just beat her up! Aren't you afraid of being reprimanded by the Emperor?"
Once this question was raised, no matter how Qu Li answered it, it would not end well.
A mocking smile crossed Qu Li's lips. "Do you think I'm stupid? Or did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Princess Yehua, you're relying on your status as the King of Zhongshan to win over people, and you're being disrespectful to me. Tell me, if the Emperor knew about this, would he vent his anger on the King of Zhongshan?"
Almost every time she said another word, Rong Yehua's expression became uglier.
"Great-grandfather is not the kind of person you say he is!"
She was shaking with anger.
Great-grandfather has always been loyal to Dagan. He has never done anything disrespectful during all the years he has been in the vassal state. Now that great-grandfather is in his eighties, she will never allow Qu Li to throw dirty water on him like this!
"Whether it is or not, who knows?" Qu Li smiled even brighter.
Rong Yehua bit her red lips, and the blood drained from her face, making the slap marks on her face even clearer.
Qu Li didn't give her time to explain, and continued with a sneer, "Princess Yehua, this is the capital, where the emperor resides, not a vassal state! If you continue to be so ignorant of the rules and respect for superiors, and if you cause the King of Zhongshan to lose his integrity in his later years, you will be a traitor to the Rong family!"
She deliberately emphasized the last half of the sentence.
These words stirred up a storm in Rong Yehua's heart.
Her eyes were bloodshot and she wished she could rush forward and slap Qu Li hard a few times.
Of course, she is now Princess Chen after all!
Besides, what she said just now was absolutely right.
This is the capital city, not a vassal state where she can ride her horse and do whatever she wants!
It is said that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. In the end, she had to endure all the humiliation and salute Qu Li.
"Ye Hua meets Princess Chen!"
Qu Li didn't let her stand up, but just moved his cold gaze to Ji Nianfu's face.
Jin Yi Fu, who was already frightened out of her wits, immediately trembled with her legs and knelt on the ground.
Qu Li raised her eyebrows. "Miss Ji just accused me of bullying others by taking advantage of my power. Princess Yehua, tell me, should I prosecute this crime?"
Rong Yehua clenched his fists, "Princess Chen, why are you so aggressive?"
At this moment, there were sounds of footsteps downstairs, mixed with the maid's voice, "The doctor is here."
Doctor Zhou was dragged along by his maid, and he was out of breath.
He was just about to wipe the sweat off his face and greet these noble ladies when he suddenly saw Qu Li's smiling face. It was as if someone had grabbed his throat and he almost screamed.
"I can't treat this lady's illness!"
Doctor Zhou turned around and was about to leave.
The maid looked confused.
Ji Nianfu's face looked very bad.
When Qu Li stepped on her just now, she clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, and she was sure that the bones must have been broken.
Doctor Zhou was so nervous that he didn't dare to look Qu Li in the eye.
"Doctor Zhou's medical skills are quite advanced. Why not take a look at Miss Ji's foot to see if there's anything wrong with it?"
"As you command."
Doctor Zhou carefully examined Ji Nianfu and answered seriously, "Miss Ji's foot was simply stepped on. The bone is fine. It looks a little red and swollen. You can use ointment or safflower oil to massage it and remove the bruises."
Qu Li nodded. "If Miss Ji hadn't deliberately stretched out her foot to trip me just now, I wouldn't have missed it and stepped on her! Since Doctor Zhou said so, if Miss Ji has any problems in the future, don't come to me!"
Ji Nianfu still felt that the pain in her feet was not her own, so she naturally did not believe what Doctor Zhou said.
Her eyes darted between their faces, as if she had discovered some incredible and shocking secret, and she shrieked, "You two are in the same group!"
Doctor Zhou directly denied it.
Qu Li raised an eyebrow. "Back when Shanshan Healthy Food Restaurant opened, the Duke Dingguo's wife's grandson had an allergic reaction to peanuts, and this was how I, the princess, could have dismissed Doctor Zhou. I'm afraid Doctor Zhou still resents me to this day. How could he possibly be in cahoots with me?"
Many people know about this. After all, the restaurant is now the most popular in Beijing, and reservations alone are scheduled for three months later.
Ji Nianfu was furious thinking about how she had just suffered pain but couldn't find any fault with Qu Li.
Doctor Zhou quickly clasped his hands together and bowed, "Before, I was completely focused on curing illnesses and saving lives, leaving Jirentang to others to manage. That's why I was deceived by the shopkeeper! After the princess told me about this that day, I immediately conducted a thorough investigation upon my return. Now, Jirentang will be under my management for the time being!"
Qu Li nodded.
One of the medical clinics that Little Leo had previously taken over was right across from Jirentang, so he naturally knew about this matter.
Her expression was indifferent, and she ignored the respectful Doctor Zhou. Instead, she looked at Ji Nianfu: "Did you hear clearly? Your foot bones are fine. After all, I am not a thousand-pound body, and Miss Ji is not a clay figure. Just stepping on them can break bones! For what happened today, I, the princess, will not bear grudges. You should remember the rules from now on. Otherwise, you might as well stay home and avoid bringing shame to the family!"
