The streets were filled with news of the War King's defeat, with all sorts of rumors circulating. Not only that, even the city's garrison commander had been replaced. The former War King's men had been replaced by the Crown Prince's.
As a result, not only did the officials in the court have something to say, but the merchants who curried favor with the officials also became nervous. At this time, choosing sides was extremely important.
Sitting in the teahouse, listening to various versions of news about the War King, Qian Youxue's brows furrowed and relaxed, her mood fluctuating wildly.
"Is Mr. Bu Yu not at Xiaoyao Residence? Could he have gone to the War King's Mansion?" Yunhe pondered as he ate his tea and snacks.
"Most likely, right?" Qian Youxue said absentmindedly.
If Bu Yu was staying at the War King's Mansion, it meant the situation was worse than she had imagined. But since Bu Yu knew her acupuncture techniques were effective against that demon, there was no reason she wouldn't come to ask for help.
Could it be that the demon didn't want her to see him in such a disheveled state, that it would be too embarrassing?
"Master, would you like to go and take a look at the War King's Mansion?" Yunhe sneakily approached.
Qian Youxue hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist her curiosity. She paid for the tea and led Yunhe to the Zhan Wang Mansion. As a result, she overheard a lot of news as they went downstairs.
"He's crippled. He might never be able to stand up again. Several imperial physicians have already been sent."
"Yes, my relative works there and said that he has been hearing the sound of the War King whipping the servants since last night."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he already had a bad temper, he'll probably get even weirder in the future."
"Hey, I heard that the Emperor even issued an imperial decree to marry that ugly freak from the Qian family to the War King. Now that's great, a good-for-nothing with a good-for-nothing, they're a perfect match."
"The doctors who came out this morning said that the War King's injuries are too serious. Now that the War King has become the seated king, it is probably impossible for him to stand up again in his life."
"Really?"
"It's true, my dad is a doctor, and he just came back after being punished."
As more and more people discussed the topic, the master and servant quickened their pace toward the War King's Mansion. When they arrived at the gates of the War King's Mansion, they were taken aback by the magnificent sight before them.
The gates of the Prince of War's mansion were crowded with carriages and horses. Among the visitors were ministers from the palace, merchants who came to curry favor with the Prince of War's mansion, and, most notably, a number of young ladies from official families. They waited anxiously at the gates for news from inside.
As doctors emerged from inside, shaking their heads one after another, many people shook their heads in despair, and some daughters of officials even broke down in tears.
"Why are you crying? Go back. Even without this imperial decree, your father will not allow you to marry a good-for-nothing!"
"Father, the War King is not a useless piece of trash!"
"Shut up! Go back! Aren't you ashamed enough?"
Watching the conversation between the father and daughter, Qian Youxue felt a pang of sadness. The world is cold and indifferent, it's the same everywhere. When the prodigy was all-powerful, people were scrambling to curry favor with him, but now, at the slightest hint of trouble, these same people are rushing away for fear of being implicated.
The master and servant stood at the door for more than an hour, watching the carriages come and go, seeing the desperate people, and hearing the disgusting sounds. Their expressions were not good.
"If that demon saw this, wouldn't he whip a few of them to death?" Qian Youxue said fiercely, her hands itching.
hehe……
Yunhe laughed at the young lady's behavior and couldn't help but tease her, "You're not even married yet, and you're already speaking up for your future husband?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qian Youxue lowered her head, her face burning with embarrassment.
Yunhe covered her mouth and chuckled again. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face and said curiously, "Hey, aren't those Miss's maternal grandfather and uncle?"
