âI donât know what I did wrong to deserve her hatred like this, yet she still comes to Marquisâs Manor to slander me and beat me! If Marquis doesnât believe in my sincere effort to get a doctor for my sister, then I might as well die!â
As she cried, she rushed towards the nearby wall.
Marquis Changxin quickly pulled her back into his arms. He gently coaxed her, âLanâer, what are you doing? How could I not believe in you and trust an outsider?â
Instantly, his gaze towards Su Yingxue turned hostile.
âNinth Princess Consort, with your noble status, I dare not argue with you. But by entering our manor today and troubling your aunt, you have shown a lack of filial piety. Please leave at once. I will continue to seek a doctor for my wifeâs illness. You need not concern yourself further!â
Marquis Changxin was about to expel them.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brows. Su Xinlan truly had Marquis Changxinâs favor!
âFather! The Ninth Princess Consort came to save Mother, not to cause trouble!â
Ye Lingbai pleaded, tugging at Marquis Changxinâs robe.
Marquis Changxin brushed him off without looking. âShut up! I didnât discipline you enough for your previous mistake. Iâll have you focus on literature and martial arts in the manor. Youâve disappointed me by not improving yourself, not protecting Lanâer, and siding with outsiders!â
âFatherâ¦â Ye Lingbai, a tall man, was now red-eyed with grievance.
He dedicated himself to studying and training every day, yet he was still seen as lacking.
As for Su Xinlanâ¦
This woman had caused him to lose his fatherâs trust and hurt his mother and sisters. Why should he protect her?
He wished he could kill her!
âMarquis, thereâs no need to be so angry. I understand the Ninth Princess Consortâs intentions. Let me show you her medical skills.â
Xu Aoqing coughed as she spoke, barely supporting her frail body as she got out of bed and approached Marquis Changxin.
Marquis Changxin was surprised, âYou have the strength to get out of bed now?â
âYes, Marquis. Not only did I get out of bed, but I also removed all the curtains in the room. I donât feel as suffocated anymore. Itâs all thanks to the Ninth Princess Consort. She gave me medicine once, and Iâve improved significantly.â
Xu Aoqing looked gratefully at Su Yingxue and nodded.
âMarquis, the Ninth Princess Consortâs medical skills are truly exceptional. A compassionate healer like her cannot have a bad character.â
Xu Aoqing had much more to say, especially about Su Xinlanâs crimes, but she knew Marquis Changxin wouldnât believe her.
Therefore, she had to endure for now.
Su Yingxue looked satisfied. It seemed Xu Aoqing was ready to confront Su Xinlan.
Her efforts hadnât been in vain!
âMarquis, if you doubt me, would you trust the imperial physician? Why not invite them to examine Madamâs illness? Also, the doctor my aunt often calls upon must come and assess madamâs condition.â
Su Yingxue smiled.
In Marquis Changxinâs arms, Su Xinlan trembled. âSu Yingxueâ¦â
This b*tch!
If she brought those doctors, she would be exposed!
Su Xinlan pounded Marquis Changxinâs chest and cried. âIf Marquis believes outsiders over me, then so be it. Iâll have the steward call the usual doctor to treat Sister with Yingxue. I donât believe my feelings for my sister can change just because of a change in a doctor!â
