âYou heartless child, how can you say such things? Donât you care at all?â Aunt Liu angrily slapped the girl on her head.
Madam Jiang gritted her teeth in anger: âWhat an unscrupulous person, how can they be so cruel! Is our precious child from the Jiang Family supposed to be treated like this?â
âItâs as if they think weâre all dead!â Second Miss Jiang said.
âWe canât just let this go, can we?â Jiang Fourth Son, who had a more impulsive disposition, shouted, âWe must make the Crown Prince pay for this!â
âAlright, all of you, quiet down.â
Jiang Ruobai frowned, âOf course we canât just let this go, but thereâs no need to rush for now. The Crown Prince isnât having a better life than our Seventh Sister now. The most important thing at this moment is to treat her wounds. All of you go back to your rooms, the noise is only making everyoneâs head hurt!â
âSecond Master is right, we should all leave and let Seventh Sister rest.â Madam Jiang spoke up, âAll of you, follow me back.â
She then consoled Lin Zizi: âZizi, donât be sad, this matter wonât end so easily. Whatâs so great about the Crown Prince? Can he just bully others like this? Our Jiang Family wonât be easily bullied either! When Master returns in a few days, heâll definitely seek justice for Seventh Sister!â
Madam Jiang took the children with her, and the two concubines led their daughters back to their rooms.
The room finally quieted down.
Jiang Ruobai took a handkerchief to wipe Lin Ziziâs tears and said softly, âMadam, donât worry. Iâve already sent someone to fetch the best doctor for bone treatment. Heâll be here soon.â
Lin Zizi couldnât speak.
Her heart ached too much.
Looking at her daughter, she wished all the pain and injuries could be on her instead.
âBefore, when she was lost, she wasnât by my side when she broke her leg. Now that sheâs back, sheâs been brutally beaten like this right under my watch. My heart⦠it hurts so much.â
Lin Zizi held her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably.
As a parent, watching their child suffer such torment, Jiang Ruobaiâs heart was also filled with pain and anger.
But with his wife and children present, he was the pillar of the family and couldnât be in tears like the women.
Jiang Yi ran back and forth several times, and finally, brought Yu Shengshou with him.
This Doctor Yu was a folk healer skilled in treating bruises and bone fractures, with a family inheritance of specialized orthopedic techniques.
Because of his extraordinary skills, people respectfully called him Yu Shengshou.
He came from humble beginnings, unlike the high-born Imperial Physicians in the palace.
He looked down on the Imperial Physicians, and they, in turn, looked down on him even more.
Most noble families wouldnât seek his treatment.
Jiang Ruobai only knew him because of Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning was first found, he sought out many opinions, and even invited Yu Shengshou for a consultation.
Doctor Yu usually tended to the poorest people and couldnât charge much for his services, so he lived a meager life.
After all, wealthy and powerful people lived lives of luxury, and the chance of them getting broken arms or legs was quite rare.
On his second visit to the Prime Ministerâs Mansion, Yu Shengshou carried an old and tattered medicine box, muttering: âLast time, I had already told you that if the bone wasnât properly set, it would be useless⦠Hm?â
When he saw Jiang Ning, he stopped talking.
âDoctor Yuâ¦â Lin Zizi stood up with tear-stained cheeks.
âMadam, donât worry. Let me take a look first.â
Yu Shengshou focused his expression, put down the medicine box, and pressed on Jiang Ningâsleg.
Jiang Ning woke up in pain and looked at him.
Doctor Yu clicked his tongue: âI didnât expect that someone in your household could be this ruthless.â
