Chapter 301: Not on the battlefield, but winning on the battlefield
Xu Yan'er was visibly panicking.
"I have secretly consulted the court doctor, and he said there is nothing wrong with my body. Is it because his medical skills are not good enough?"
"If you think the court doctor is not capable, then go and ask for a doctor from outside. Alternatively, you can use the prince's face to invite the imperial physician from the palace." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.
"No, thanks. I can't afford to hire an imperial physician with my status!" Xu Yan'er immediately refused.
She was afraid that it was her own problem.
What if it turns out that she is infertile?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to sentencing her to death?
"What does Aunt Xu want? Don't you understand the principle of hiding your illness and avoiding medical treatment?" Ji Chuhe's voice was a little sharp.
Xu Yan'er looked up at Ji Chuhe, then immediately lowered her head.
Ji Chuhe's gaze contained an invisible pressure that made her feel breathless.
"I'm not sick, so how can I be afraid of seeing a doctor?" She still retorted in a low voice.
If Ji Chuhe's words were to get out, she would be considered sick even if she was healthy!
As a mistress, you can't say such things carelessly!
"You're not sick. The prince dotes on you so much, but you can't get pregnant?" Ji Chuhe asked softly, no longer giving Xu Yan'er any face.
Xu Yan'er immediately looked at Xiao Yan'an with red eyes, and she really wished that Xiao Yan'an could speak up and support her at this time.
However, not only did Xiao Yan'an not say anything, but there was also some anger in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Mrs. Xu, you are the only one favored by the prince. It's your own problem that you can't have a child. Do you think it's possible to shut up other people and stop them from gossiping? People have their mouths on them. Can you control what they say? If you hear any rumors about yourself, you don't care. You hold anyone responsible. You can do whatever you want by relying on the prince's favor, right?"
Xiao Yan'an immediately looked towards Ji Chuhe.
He did not let Xu Yan'er act lawless, and always asked Xu Yan'er to respect his wife and behave herself!
Ji Chuhe's eyes were fixed on Xu Yan'er, without his usual kindness.
"It was the people from Dongling's yard who beat my people first, so I got angry and questioned her." Xu Yan'er was still quibbling.
"Do you think of me, the mistress, as a decoration? No matter what happens, you can come to me and handle it however you want. You can do whatever you want. What do you need me, the mistress of the house, to do?" Ji Chuhe picked up the teacup and put it down heavily.
Xu Yan'er was frightened by Ji Chuhe and trembled all over.
Xiao Yan'an was also startled.
He had never seen Ji Chuhe so angry before, and a trace of anger rose in his heart.
He saw how hard Ji Chuhe worked during this period.
Xu Yan'er only knows how to cause trouble all day long!
And they caused such a mess for Ji Chuhe to clean up! If it weren't for this, Ji Chuhe could have a good rest when he came back!
Mianzhu brought Feng and Liuying into the house.
The two men immediately saluted Ji Chuhe.
"Madam!" Feng shouted immediately. She was impatient and wanted to explain to Ji Chuhe anxiously.
"Let her speak first." Ji Chuhe pointed at Liu Ying.
Liu Ying looked up at Ji Chuhe, then immediately lowered her head, "Madam, I heard a few gossiping maids gossiping about Aunt Xu, and I was eager to protect my master, so I rushed over to argue with them, and then we had an argument and started fighting."
Ji Chuhe chuckled.
Is this a deliberate attempt to play charades with her?
"Start fighting? So, you started fighting?"
"No, no, I dare not." Liu Ying shook her head in panic.
"Who started it first?" Ji Chuhe asked angrily.
Xu Yan'er was very dissatisfied!
Isn't Ji Chuhe too biased towards Dong Ling?
It was clearly her people who were beaten, but Ji Chuhe still questioned her people!
Liuying didn't dare to answer, because Ji Chuhe didn't want ambiguous answers and couldn't fool her at all.
"Ms. Feng, you go ahead." Ji Chuhe finally let Ms. Feng speak.
"Madam, I went to get some food and heard some gossip. I couldn't help but listen to it. However, I didn't say a word about Aunt Xu! Who knows where this maid came from, pointing at my nose and scolding me, saying that I was spreading gossip about Aunt Xu and insulting Aunt Xu!"
"I told her that I didn't gossip about Aunt Xu, but she wouldn't listen. She bit me like a mad dog. We argued more and more fiercely. She even pulled the basket in my hand. I protected the basket, but she wanted to touch the vegetables in my basket. Seeing that the vegetables in my basket were about to be destroyed by her, I slapped her in desperation!"
"Is that so?" Ji Chuhe asked Liuying.
"Madam, those gossipy old women were chatting enthusiastically at the time, how could Feng not say a few words!" Liu Ying answered the question irrelevantly.
"Madam, I really didn't say a word! I just listened for fun!" Feng immediately retorted, "I think she came after me on purpose! There were so many maids there, but she chose to target me alone!"
Ji Chuhe looked at Liuying, waiting for her to explain.
"At that time, I was only thinking about Aunt Xu, and I didn't pay attention to who was who."
Xu Yan'er looked at Liu Ying with a touched expression.
She actually had such a loyal maid.
"Madam, what's wrong with Liuying being loyal to her master? Or did she protect the wrong person, me, so that's why she's wrong? Feng wanted to hit me with a broom, so is Feng not wrong?" Xu Yan'er asked loudly.
"Madam, I just want to scare her. She is making trouble in Aunt Dong's yard. Aunt Dong is in such a bad condition and will give birth in less than a month. What if she gets angry and gets hurt? If I really want to beat her, it would be strange if she can get out of Aunt Dong's yard! I just want to drive her away and wait for Madam to come back to deal with this matter."
What Feng said was taught by Dong Ling.
Dong Ling also wanted to come over, but Mian Zhu had sent a message not to let her leave the yard, so she could only endure it.
Tell Feng what to say and how to respond.
She probably guessed that this was the case.
"Aunt Xu, did Feng hurt you?" Ji Chuhe asked Xu Yan'er.
"No." Xu Yan'er responded with gritted teeth.
Although she didn't get hurt, she was embarrassed! So many people saw it, she was too embarrassed to face anyone!
"Madam, I know that what I did was wrong and I shouldn't be so rude to Aunt Xu. But if I didn't do this, Aunt Xu would hurt the baby in Aunt Dong's belly! Looking at Aunt Xu's look at that time, I even suspected that she was deliberately looking for trouble with Aunt Dong because she couldn't get pregnant, and wanted to harm Aunt Dong's child!" After saying this, Feng glared at Xu Yan'er.
This was also taught by Dong Ling.
Xu Yan'er was deliberately accused of wanting to murder the prince's offspring.
As long as this crime is brought up, it will be easier for Madam to handle this matter!
