Chapter 94 Drunken Old Man (2)

  Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  Intentionally mentioning Liu Lao Shi and Ling Xiao in the same breath is undoubtedly a provocation and an insult.

  Jiang furrowed his brow, and Ling Xi's gaze also sank.

  Ling Jingxian restrained her smile and replied faintly, "This young lady is kind-hearted and generous, taking an servant's illness so seriously, even more than a family member, it's truly admirable."

  Miss Liu San: “......”

  Miss Liu San, who was used to being domineering at home, had never been ridiculed like this before. Her face immediately turned red as she responded: "What's better than one's own family? How dare you humiliate me like this!"

  Ling Jingyu pulled the corner of her lips: "Just now, it was you who said it with your own mouth. The servant in your house was carried in, and you are even more worried. I followed your tone and continued to speak, how did it become humiliating you?"

  Miss Liu was so choked with emotion that she couldn't say a word.

  Her face turned red and white alternately, with a burning sensation behind her ears.

  Fortunately, there was a thin gauze covering it, otherwise, I would have been embarrassed in front of everyone.

  Ling Xi and her husband exchanged a glance, tacitly falling silent.

  Miss Liu San is far from being a match for Ling Jingxu. Even with the addition of the middle-aged woman behind her, who was full of momentum, she was not to be feared.

  As expected, the middle-aged woman saw her master fall short in the war of words and immediately stepped forward two steps to shield him. She raised her head and coldly smiled: "This young lady has a sharp tongue. Our miss is kind-hearted and cares about the people in the mansion, wanting to personally visit the Spring Hall to take a look. Is there anything wrong with that? This young lady is blocking us here, what intention does she have? The Spring Hall is open to everyone, can it be that you want to stop our miss from entering?"

  An aggressive posture as if ready for a big fight.

  Han Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and just as he was about to speak up, Ling Jingyu calmly said: "This manager mom has gotten several things wrong. First, it was Manager Han who had you wait outside earlier. You may not be satisfied in your hearts, but you shouldn't take it out on us siblings."

  "Secondly, just now it was your master who insulted us siblings first, that's why I retorted. If you say I'm intentionally causing trouble, that person is definitely not me."

  "Besides, you should go back to the Chun Tang. It has nothing to do with me. I'm here today to accompany my brother for medical treatment, and I don't have time or mood to pay attention to idle people like you."

  Having finished speaking, he didn't even glance at the "onlookers", and turned around with a flourish. He stepped into the Hui Chun Hall.

  A middle-aged woman, with a humiliated and embarrassed expression, was extremely annoyed in her heart. The sound of stifled laughter reached her ears again, making her even more ashamed and indignant. She immediately turned around and glared at them, shouting sternly: "Who's laughing?"

  No one dared to quarrel with such a shrewish housekeeper, and the snickering whispers suddenly subsided.

  The middle-aged woman turned her head again, forcing a smile to comfort Miss Liu San: "That girl just now was from some aristocratic family, with a sharp tongue and no feminine virtues at all. Miss, don't bother with such people. Why not rest in the carriage for a while first, and wait until Doctor Wei arrives before getting off?"

  Miss Liu had never lost face like this before, her eyes were already red with anger, and she was about to leave. But when she heard the name of Wei Taifu, she couldn't bear to leave after all. After a long while, she finally hummed in agreement.

  The middle-aged woman secretly let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly supported her own young lady back to the carriage.

  Just a few steps away, I saw a large crowd of people coming over.

  ......

  Miss Liu San brought a large number of maidservants and guards. This group of people was more than twice as many. They surrounded the young girl in the middle like stars surrounding the moon.

  The girl was tall and slender, with a well-developed figure. The purple dress on her body was made of some precious material, thin, light, soft, and shimmering with subtle patterns as she moved, exceptionally beautiful.

  The girl also wore a veil, with a few rubies embroidered on the light gauze under the veil, and a ruby bracelet on her wrist. Although she didn't show her face, she revealed a bit of proud and noble air in her gestures.

  How did she come too?

  Miss Liu San knew this young girl and secretly muttered to herself. She stepped forward and bowed: "Jiao Niang has seen Fu Min Jun Zhu."

  The father of the Marquis of Fumin, Rongqin Wang. He and the current emperor are close relatives. Rongqin Wang is in charge of the Imperial Clan Court, and among the many imperial clan members, he is also a high-ranking official with great power.

  Fumin County Princess was the only daughter of Rongqin Wang, often in and out of the palace, and got along well with Changping Princess. Her status is noble and naturally cannot be compared to ordinary officials' daughters.

  Fu Minjun glanced at Miss Liu San and hummed, asking faintly: "Miss Liu San, why did you come to Hui Chun Tang today?"

  The two had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other, nor did they have much of a relationship. When they saw each other, they would exchange no more than a couple of pleasantries at most.

  Miss Liu San said with a smile: "The gatekeeper of my house, Liu Lao Shi, suddenly fell ill today. It's a matter of life and death. I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I brought him to Hui Chun Tang for treatment."

  What he said sounds very grand and pleasant to hear.

  Who doesn't understand the real meaning?

  Fumin County Master smiled and curled up the corner of his lips: "You are indeed a Bodhisattva. Even for an insignificant gatekeeper, you would spend so much thought."

  Intentionally or unintentionally, I emphasized the two words "heart thought" a bit more.

  Miss Liu San hummed softly in her heart with a hint of embarrassment.

  In the capital, many renowned young ladies secretly admired Imperial Physician Wei. Among them, Princess Fumin was undoubtedly the most notable one. Relying on her status as a princess, she openly and unscrupulously pestered Imperial Physician Wei...

  It's ironic that Fu Minjun has the nerve to criticize others.

  Wait!

  Miss Liu San's eyes rolled over and she thought of a plan, intentionally lowering her voice to say: "The Marquis of Fumin is late today, what a pity that he missed a good show!"

  Fu Minjun raised an eyebrow and responded indifferently: "I wonder what's so interesting?"

  Miss Liu's eyes flashed, and she said in a low voice: "It's not surprising to say. I don't know where a young girl came from, accompanying her family to see the doctor, with a thick face entering the inner hall of Hui Chun Tang, waiting for Doctor Wei!"

  Fujin Gun's heart was not pleased, but her tone was deliberately calm: "Oh? What does that girl look like?"

  Miss Liu hesitated for a moment: "Wearing a veil, I couldn't see her face clearly. The girl was wearing a light green dress and didn't wear any exquisite jewelry, but she had an outstanding temperament, a slender figure, and a pleasant voice, should be a rare beauty. However, that girl is quite sharp-tongued, and just now she randomly humiliated me with a few words. As the county princess's identity is noble, I suppose that girl wouldn't dare to speak out of turn when she sees the county princess."

  This move of sowing discord and driving a wedge between people is really not very clever.

  Anyone with a discerning ear can detect the provocation in Miss Liu's words.

  However, understanding is one thing, and whether or not they are willing to take the bait is another matter altogether.

  Fujin County Master was born with a proud and arrogant temperament, how could he put an ordinary boudoir girl in his eyes. Upon hearing this, he curled up the corner of his lips: "Being said by you, I have some curiosity. It's necessary to go in and meet her."
