Remember "Bookworm" in one second.
Upon arriving at the outer hall, Jiang's family let out a long sigh and softly exclaimed: "I've long heard of Wei Taifu's reputation, but today I see that it surpasses what I'd heard."
Everyone has a heart that loves beauty.
A beautiful girl can always attract the attention of all men. Conversely, so can a handsome boy.
A handsome man like Wei Taiyi, it's hard for women not to be attracted. Jiang had been married to her husband Ling Xi for four years and their feelings for each other were deep, but just now when she saw Wei Taiyi, she couldn't help but steal a few glances.
Ling Xi heard his wife praising Wei Taiyi so much, and he felt a bit sour in his heart. He deliberately said with a tinge of sarcasm: "If Wei Taiyi had also come to the Jiang family to propose marriage back then, I reckon there wouldn't have been any chance for me."
Jiang nodded half-true and half-false: "This is indeed the truth. If there were such a handsome man to propose, how could I have married you?"
The couple whispered sweet nothings to each other.
Ling Jingxu was so shocked that she lost her voice and couldn't help but laugh.
Ling Xiao asked curiously: "Ah Jiao, you just saw Wei Taiyi. Is he really as handsome and unparalleled as Eldest Sister said? How does he compare to me?"
Ling Jingxu was amused again: "How can this be good? You and Wei Taifu are completely different people."
"Tell me about it!" Ling Xiao gently tugged on Ling Jingxuan's sleeve and pouted.
Ling Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "You have been pampered since childhood, dressed in fine clothes and fed with the best food, just like a carefully cultivated peony. But Wei Taizhen is like a wild bamboo growing in the mountains."
The peony is beautiful but delicate, requiring meticulous care and attention to bloom magnificently.
Bamboo is elegant and straight, growing in the wilderness with no one asking about it or seeing it. When it appears before people, they are amazed by its stunning beauty.
This metaphor is vivid and lively.
Ling Xiao listened and felt a strong desire: "After you said that, I also want to take a look at this Wei Taiyi!"
Since Ah Shu fell ill, her temperament has changed a lot. Especially when dealing with men. She is full of disgust towards Lu Hong and Lu Qian brothers, respectful but distant towards the Crown Prince, and even more vigilant against Yan Wang.
A beautiful 14-year-old girl. It's the age when emotions are just beginning to awaken, and it's normal to feel distracted and have flights of fancy when seeing a handsome young man. But Ah-jiao didn't show even half a hint of shyness or delight, and was instead overly cold and indifferent.
It's rare to hear her praise a man.
Ling Xiao's heart couldn't help but surge with wave after wave of curiosity.
Ling Jingxu was always indulgent and doting on Ling Xiao. Upon hearing this, she lightly laughed: "Once your eyes are better, you'll naturally be able to see."
Ling Xiao was thinking about the day when he could see, and his heart was surging with excitement: "Ah Jiao, Wei Taiyi just used a golden needle to save someone, did you see it clearly?"
"Uh-huh. I see it very clearly."
It wasn't that clear at the time, my line of sight was blocked, I only saw Dr. Wei's needle flying: "Dr. Wei's medical skills are indeed impressive, that gatekeeper from the Liu residence, his whole body convulsed and foamed at the mouth, it looked like he was about to die. As soon as Dr. Wei took action, the convulsions stopped, and the foaming ceased. Looking at this, it should be no life-threatening danger."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a hopeful light.
Wei Taiyi's medical skills are so remarkable. He must be able to cure his eyes too!
......
After Fumin County Master came out of the inner hall, the smile on his face that was propping up quickly dissipated, and he had an angry look.
Detestable Wei Yan! For the sake of a mere gatekeeper's position at the Liu manor, he actually had the audacity to drive her out without any courtesy.
She is a noble lady, disregarding her dignity to come to Hui Chun Tang in person, just to see him. He's actually so cold and emotionless... How detestable! Too detestable!
The extremely bad-tempered Fumin Junzhu caught a glimpse of Ling Jingyu and her brother out of the corner of her eye, thought of the dispute with Wei Taifu before he came, and suddenly had an outlet for her anger.
"Rouge, go and invite Miss Lingjiu over. The young mistress has something to say to her."
Only four or five meters apart, a slightly louder voice could be heard. Fumin County's master insisted on putting on the county's airs and haughtily ordered her maid beside her.
The maid responded with a soft "yes" and stepped forward. She curtsied: "Miss Lingjiu, the princess has summoned you."
Ling Jingyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she responded faintly. Following the rouge, she walked to the front of Fumin County Master: "The county master called me over, I don't know what instructions there are?"
Fumin County Master suppressed a bellyful of anger and said with a forced smile: "It's not that serious. But since we have some free time now, I'll come to instruct you on how to pay respects."
That arrogant and condescending face is really hateful and detestable.
Ling Jingxu had originally wanted to endure for a while, but looking at Fu Min's arrogant appearance, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart suddenly burst out.
"Thank you, County Master." Ling Jingxu's face was expressionless, and she replied coldly: "However, I ask myself if my actions and behavior have been improper. If others treat me with warmth and courtesy, I will be doubly courteous in return. But if I encounter those who think they are superior just because of their status, I won't tolerate or indulge them."
This is absolutely not referring to you!
This is simply cursing one's own family!
Fumin County's main air face turned red, eyes shot out of anger, and she couldn't care about the county's demeanor and elegance anymore. She pointed at Ling Jingxu's nose with her hand: "How big is your nerve! Dare to humiliate the county master in person! If the county master doesn't give you some color to see, you'll turn over the sky."
"Come on! Slap in the face!"
The county master Fu Min gave an order, and immediately, Rou Zhi stepped forward, raising her arm high.
Bai Yumian's face changed, and she rushed to Ling Jingxuan's front without hesitation.
Just as the palm was about to land on Bai Yu's face, Rouge's arm was hit by a bamboo plaque that came from nowhere. Rouge's arm suddenly went numb, let out a cry of pain, and quickly withdrew her arm.
The face of Fu Minjun also changed, and he glared at him fiercely: "Han Guanshi, what do you mean by this?"
It was Han Yi who just threw out the bamboo plaque.
Han Yi's expression remained calm, and he cupped his hands: "Princess, please calm down. When Wei Taifu treats illnesses, what he dislikes most is someone making a disturbance. If we disturb Wei Taifu while he's treating the illness, I'm afraid he'll get angry."
Wei Taiyi not only dislikes noisy people but also resents those with power and influence who bully others in Hui Chun Tang for no reason.
It goes without saying that Fumin County Master naturally understood this point very clearly.
Fu Minjun glared at Ling Jingxu with a scowl on her face and hummed in discontent.
This matter is now completely settled.
Ling Jingxu's anger was even more intense than that of Fumin County Lord. Her lips were pursed tightly, her right hand clenched into a fist and then slowly relaxed, as she asked in a low voice: "Bai Yu, are you okay?"
"Bai Yu's eyes were fixed on her, and she replied in a low voice: 'I'm fine, miss. Don't worry.'"
Ling Jingxu hummed in agreement, her heart filled with self-mockery and self-loathing.
If Han Yi hadn't intervened just now, Bai Yu would have gotten a slap in the face.
She thought she had become strong and brave with a sharp tongue, but when faced with an arrogant and unreasonable master, even the people around her couldn't protect her.
