“I don’t know what I did wrong to deserve her hatred , yet she still comes to Marquis’s Manor to slander me and beat me! If Marquis doesn’t believe in my sincere effort to get a doctor for my sister, then I might as well die!”
As she cried, she rushed towards the nearby wall.
Marquis Changxin quickly pulled her back into his arms. He gently coaxed her, “Lan’er, what are you doing? How could I not believe in you and trust an outsider?”
Instantly, his gaze towards Su Yingxue turned hostile.
“Ninth 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 wife’s illness. You need not concern yourself further!”
Marquis Changxin was about to expel them.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brows. Su Xinlan truly had Marquis Changxin’s favor!
“Father! The Ninth Princess Consort came to save Mother, not to cause trouble!”
Ye Lingbai pleaded, tugging at Marquis Changxin’s robe.
Marquis Changxin brushed him off without looking. “Shut up! I didn’t discipline you enough for your previous mistake. I’ll have you focus on literature and martial arts in the manor. You’ve disappointed me by not improving yourself, not protecting Lan’er, and siding with outsiders!”
“Father…” 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.
This woman had caused him to lose his father’s trust and hurt his mother and sisters. Why should he protect her?
He wished he could kill her!
“Marquis, there’s no need to be so angry. I understand the Ninth Princess Consort’s intentions. Let me show you her medical skills.”
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, “You have the strength to get out of bed now?”
“Yes, Marquis. Not only did I get out of bed, but I also removed all the curtains in the room. I don’t feel as suffocated anymore. It’s all thanks to the Ninth Princess Consort. She gave me medicine once, and I’ve improved significantly.”
Xu Aoqing looked gratefully at Su Yingxue and nodded.
“Marquis, the Ninth Princess Consort’s medical skills are truly exceptional. A compassionate healer like her cannot have a bad character.”
Xu Aoqing had much more to say, especially about Su Xinlan’s crimes, but she knew Marquis Changxin wouldn’t 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 hadn’t been in vain!
“Marquis, if you doubt me, would you trust the imperial physician? Why not invite them to examine Madam’s illness? Also, the doctor my aunt often calls upon must come and assess madam’s condition.”
In Marquis Changxin’s arms, Su Xinlan trembled. “Su Yingxue…”
If she brought those doctors, she would be exposed!
Su Xinlan pounded Marquis Changxin’s chest and cried. “If Marquis believes outsiders over me, then so be it. I’ll have the steward call the usual doctor to treat Sister with Yingxue. I don’t believe my feelings for my sister can change just because of a change in a doctor!”
