Chapter 280: Chapter 252: Upheaval (Part 2)
"Okay, I’ll accompany you." Su Yaoguang noticed that Zhou Wangshu seemed off today. "Is there something on your mind? Are you feeling upset?"
"No."
How could he be upset?
The plan he set up earlier was beginning to show results; he should have been happy.
Previously, he had given away that Ferghana Horse, and today he heard that the spoiled and capricious Heir of the Duke of the Country liked it and forcibly took it.
The Heir of the Duke of the Country is the sole heir in his family, pampered and loved, a famous little tyrant in the Capital City. His sister is the current Empress. Thus, among the many playboys in the Capital City, compared to him, those playboys are just little bros.
The Heir of the Duke of the Country snatched the Ferghana Horse from Xia Zhen’s hands, and the Ferghana Horse actually kicked him, resulting in the playboy heir breaking a leg on the spot. After this incident, Xia Zhen, who feared neither heaven nor earth, was scared witless. At this moment, the two families should be fighting each other.
The Heir of the Duke of the Country is the sole heir, and for that ungrateful man, Xia Zhen is also the only heir, and now neither side will yield.
The Heir of the Duke of the Country injured his leg, and if it can be treated, it would be the best outcome. If not, the Cheng’an Hou Mansion would need to send more people to protect the Young Master, or the next to break an arm or leg would be him.
Su Yaoguang keenly noticed Zhou Wangshu’s emotional shift.
"It’s raining today, and it’s not good to do anything else, so let’s just drink tea in the tea room and roast something."
Zhou Wangshu just needed someone to be with him; he didn’t have to do anything, even doing nothing, as long as someone was with him.
Su Yaoguang was flipping roasted fruit on the stove when suddenly a weight pressed against her arm. She turned to look, and Zhou Wangshu had fallen asleep beside her.
Jia Chunni walked in from outside, waving the umbrella in her hand. She saw Zhou Wangshu asleep and lowered her voice to say, "Someone invited Jiang Jing for a consultation."
"Isn’t Jing’er always going out for consultations?"
"This time it’s different," Jia Chunni said. "This time, the Duke Zhen Country Mansion invited Jiang Jing for a consultation. After Jiang Jing left, I vaguely heard someone talking about the Heir of the Duke of the Country’s leg being kicked and broken by a horse. Sister Yaoguang, if it’s true, won’t Jing’er be in danger? I’ve heard that those nobles from wealthy families easily chop off heads; if she doesn’t heal his leg, Jing’er will be in danger, right?"
"You send someone to keep an eye on the Duke Zhen Country Mansion." Su Yaoguang said, "If we see Jing’er come out later, we have nothing to worry about. If she doesn’t come out, we must go and find her. I left Jing’er a token from the General Mansion; if nothing else, with that token, the Duke Zhen Country Mansion shouldn’t dare to do anything to her."
"Cousin is right; nothing has happened yet, so we can’t panic. I’ll send someone to find out what’s going on; if there’s no problem, it’s all good, but if there’s an issue, I’ll come to find you immediately, and then we’ll go to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion to get her."
"Alright."
Zhang Zhaodi recently was inseparable from her husband, even following him to the military camp when Su Rende went to train.
All of Su Rende’s friends and brothers had met Zhang Zhaodi, and they knew her spicy personality, so they dared not neglect her.
Su Yaoguang never knew parents could be so sweet, as if making up for lost years of affection and love.
"Yaoguang, it’s all good. Jing’er has returned." Jia Chunni hurried to the backyard to deliver the good news to Su Yaoguang.
Su Yaoguang was next to him mixing skin care cream, and hearing Jia Chunni’s words said, "Where is Jing’er now? Has she eaten?"
"She went straight into her pharmacy after coming back. I wanted to ask about the Heir of the Duke of the Country’s situation, but seeing her like this, there’s no way to ask now."
"Have the kitchen prepare some food for me, I’ll go and take it to Jing’er." Su Yaoguang said.
"Okay."
The attendant delivered the food to Su Yaoguang, who took the food basket and went to Jiang Jing’s pharmacy.
She opened the door and saw Jiang Jing massaging the rabbit’s leg in the cage, the rabbit startled, emitting strange sounds.
"Jing’er, take a break and eat something." Su Yaoguang called her.
Jiang Jing heard Su Yaoguang’s voice, put down the items in her hands, and walked over quickly, saying, "Sister Yaoguang, what brings you here?"
"I heard you were called to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion for a consultation. Were you bullied?"
Jiang Jing pulled out the token from the General Mansion from her chest, "I purposely hung it at my waist for them to see; they didn’t dare to trouble me. The other doctors couldn’t treat the Young Master’s leg, and instead of getting rewarded, each of them was beaten twenty strokes."
