Chapter 315: Chapter 266: Underhanded Acts (Part 3)
"I really don’t understand, even if you want to scheme against someone, can’t you come up with a better method? Look, where there’s water, someone falls in; where there’s a cliff, someone falls off; where there are men, someone gets drugged; where there are nobles, someone is humiliated... I just wanted them to experience the taste of reaping what they sow. Now the water is quite cold, I hope it can clear their minds a bit."
The lady of the house shouted loudly, "Someone... someone... someone has fallen into the water..."
The servants in the mansion heard the shouts and rushed over.
However, among so many servants, only a few could swim, and by the time they arrived, the people in the water were already somewhat unconscious.
Marquis Jing’an hurried over upon hearing the news, just in time to see Jiang Yihuan and the others being rescued to the shore.
A tall and strong male servant was rescuing Jiang Yihuan. As he held her, his arms couldn’t help but graze certain places, and Jiang Yihuan, who should have been unconscious, let out suggestive sounds.
Everyone: "..."
Suddenly felt somewhat awkward for her.
Marquis Jing’an’s face was stormy.
To think that his woman was being held, hugged, and touched by a servant from his own house.
"Marquis, the railing at your Marquis Mansion needs to be repaired and checked. Look, once it’s damaged, it causes so many people to fall down," Su Yaoguang said. "Now they’ve almost drowned, they need a doctor, quickly get them a doctor!"
"Isn’t Doctor Jiang here?" Marquis Jing’an said, "With her medical skills, minor drowning should be nothing."
"Marquis, we’re probably not in a position to help. Your Second Madam should have mentioned us, and we have some past grievances. If we treat your Second Madam now, and she turns around and falsely accuses us of trying to harm her, we wouldn’t have any recourse. You should quickly get another doctor for her, to avoid delaying treatment and causing any aftereffects."
"Yaoguang is right, you should get another doctor to treat them. After all, they’ve just drowned, they should be able to wait."
"I’m here, I won’t let her misunderstand you. Doctor Jiang, so many people are unconscious, please treat them immediately."
"Since the Marquis is guaranteeing it, I’ll treat them then!"
Under everyone’s watch, Jiang Jing administered acupuncture to them.
"Ah..." Jiang Yihuan woke up painfully. "It hurts... it hurts... what is this..."
Jiang Yihuan had several needles on her. As soon as she woke up, Jiang Jing removed them. Her screams then stopped.
The others were also awakened by Jiang Jing’s acupuncture, and their first reaction upon waking was intense pain. Only when Jiang Jing removed the needles did the feeling of pain disappear.
"Marquis, you must stand up for us, we were pushed down by them." Jiang Yihuan accused, pointing in the direction of Su Yaoguang.
Marquis Jing’an frowned, "What did you say?"
"I said we were pushed into the water," Jiang Yihuan complained aggrievedly. "Marquis, elder sister knew well that I have past grievances with them, why would she invite them as guests? Isn’t this just inviting trouble into the family? I don’t mind, even if I die in this back courtyard, it’s fine. Because I met the Marquis too late and didn’t become the Marquis’s first wife. But if our child loses his mother, wouldn’t that be pitiful? If I’m not around someday, Marquis, give our child to elder sister to raise, she must love children very much."
"Why do you say you were pushed into the water? Did you see it?" Marquis Jing’an asked.
"Haha!" The lady of the house covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "Marquis, look at what you said, little sister was just standing there watching the fish, if she saw someone push her, then she must have eyes on the back of her head and is a monster."
"I didn’t see it, but I just know." Jiang Yihuan said, "The water in this lake is so deep, I almost died just now."
"Marquis, you see, I’ve said before that we shouldn’t have saved them. They’re just ungrateful people," Jiang Jing said.
"You fell into the water because the railing was broken. Second Madam, you are in charge of managing the household affairs now, and you are responsible for these things. Now that something has happened, you accuse the guests without even clarifying the situation. I don’t think you have the ability to manage the household affairs, it should be handed back to the lady of the house."
