Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 42 I mean you have a foul mouth!

Zhou Wei sneered inwardly, quietly watching Shen Shuqing cause trouble.

Prince Jiang Yueshan looked at Zhou Wei, seeking her opinion.

"Zhou Wei, you've heard what Miss Shen said. What do you think?"

Zhou Wei nodded: "Miss Shen is petty, but I, Zhou Wei, am a gentleman. A gentleman should help others achieve their goals, so whatever Miss Shen says goes."

Shen Shuqing's face turned ugly when she heard Zhou Wei belittle her, and the Third Prince Jiang Yueli also glared at Zhou Wei.

How dare you, you lowly servant, insult the goddess in his heart?

Zhou Wei scoffed, "Goddess, my foot!"

Jiang Yuelin, you're not even worthy of being called Shen Shuqing's lapdog; you're the kind of guy who doesn't even have a number in line.

Upon seeing Zhou Wei agree, Zi Yu immediately frowned and raised a question.

"Your Highness, if we accept Miss Shen's logic, doesn't Aunt Zhou Wei suffer a loss?"

"If Young Master Wan's initial diagnosis of the young master is ineffective, then Aunt Zhou Wei's intervention will cure the young master..."

"Wouldn't Young Master Wan say that this was his achievement?"

Ziyu's words, though innocent and tinged with doubt, deeply humiliated Wan Qianliang.

Although he couldn't escape Zhou Wei's slap, when it came to medical skills, not only was no one in the secular world able to match Shenyi Valley, but even in blessed lands like Zhengshan Academy and Kongshan Temple, everyone would respectfully call him the Divine Physician.

Now, however, he is being questioned by a lowly palace maid, who accuses him of stealing credit from others.

How ridiculous!

Shen Shuqing also spoke up sarcastically: "Aunt Ziyu is overthinking it. Young Master Wan is such a prodigy, how could he do such a despicable thing?"

Wan Qianliang stared proudly at Ziyu, his disdain evident on his face.

Ziyu, however, was not intimidated at all. She had seen too much by following Zhou Wei these past two days.

In her heart, she had long since demystified certain things.

Just like the thousands of beams in front of us, no matter how loudly they are blown, they were still kicked into the street by Zhou Wei and had no power to fight back.

Ziyu's claim that she was afraid Wanqianliang would steal the credit may not be entirely unfounded.

She was genuinely worried that this arrogant girl was no match for Zhou Wei, and that she might resort to desperate measures!

Qiu Fangyun also stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Yes, Aunt Ziyu, Young Master Wan comes from the Valley of Divine Physicians. He would certainly disdain such a thing as stealing credit from others."

Ziyu nodded, looking like she was barely believing it.

"Since both Madam and Miss say so, I will reluctantly trust Young Master Wan's character."

"However, since Aunt Zhou Wei came here on the Empress's orders with the intention of competing with Young Master Wan, then the outcome must be decided."

"With His Highness the Crown Prince present today, this servant dares to request His Highness to be impartial and announce the final winner on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress."

As Ziyu spoke, she bowed to Prince Jiang Yueshan with impeccable manners and etiquette.

The Crown Prince couldn't help but glance at her a few more times: "Are you also my elder sister's personal maid? I think I've seen you before."

"Your Highness, I have served the Princess since I was a child. Before the Princess established her own residence, I lived with her in Qiuhua Palace."

The Crown Prince nodded, looking thoughtful, and couldn't help but glance at Ziyu a few more times.

Ziyu, unaware of the Crown Prince's unusual behavior and having stood up for Zhou Wei, slowly retreated behind her.

Zhou Wei praised her with a smile: "Ziyu, well done! You really have the demeanor of a senior palace maid."

Ziyu said somewhat shyly, "Sister Wei is the most capable. I was just bluffing."

Even a bluff is still a show of force!

Ziyu's measured and composed demeanor intimidated many people present.

Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Wei and Ziyu were from the Princess's residence.

Princess Jiang Yueli is someone you can't easily offend, let alone Zhou Wei, who now holds the Empress's decree.

Being polite to her is definitely the right thing to do!

Feeling the friendly gazes from the crowd, Zhou Wei couldn't help but smile.

Look, this is how Princess Jiang Yueli's reputation is built.

Even though she's a general now, she's not at a disadvantage!

Zhou Wei loves to eat, but she just can't stand to be taken advantage of.

Qiu Fangyun invited Zhou Wei and Ziyu to sit down. Although they were two palace maids, their mistress was no ordinary person, so they could not be neglected.

Zhou Wei sat down and took a sip of tea, her brows furrowing slightly.

"This tea..."

Shen Shuqing, sitting above Zhou Wei, smiled and said, "Aunt Zhou Wei, this is Jade Dew Tea brought by Young Master Wan from the Valley of Divine Physicians. Ordinary people are not even qualified to smell it!"

The implication was that it was a waste to give such fine tea to a lowly servant like you.

"It stinks." Zhou Wei put down her teacup and said casually.

Shen Shuqing frowned, picked up the cup, and smelled it.

"Aunt Zhou, this tea smells wonderful, where does it smell bad?"

Zhou Wei looked at her and smiled: "I meant you have a foul mouth."

"You..." Shen Shuqing's hand holding the teacup was trembling, but she couldn't bring herself to say the insults.

Zhou Wei sat back in her chair with her legs crossed, one arm supporting her head, and tilted her head to stare at Shen Shuqing.

They seemed to be waiting for her to utter those insults.

Shen Shuqing silently told herself, "Calm down, calm down, you must calm down!"

That wretched maid is cunning and her beatings are painful.

Today, she absolutely cannot suffer at the hands of this lowly servant!

Seeing Shen Shuqing's expression change several times before she finally chose to swallow her anger, Zhou Wei thought to herself, "How pathetic."

Is this the heroine with such good fortune really this timid and hesitant?

Fortunately, this system mission was to disrupt Shen Shuqing's treatment of Prince Qi Jingming's leg ailment, not to humiliate the legitimate daughter of the divine physician.

Since the other party wasn't going to offer their face, Zhou Wei was happy to let the Buddha's Palm take a break.

After everyone was seated, it was finally Wan Qianliang's turn to perform.

Prince Qi Jingming sat in a wheelchair, his expression calm, and he was very polite to Wan Qianliang.

"Young Master Wan, I know my own illness. Just do your best."

Wan Qianliang nodded and began to take Qi Jingming's pulse. After taking his pulse, he lifted the hem of Qi Jingming's clothes.

The women present all turned their heads away to avoid eye contact, but Zhou Wei stared intently at Qi Jingming's legs.

Qi Jingming has been disabled in both legs for two years, so his legs under his clothes are extremely thin.

This is a sign of muscle atrophy.

Especially his calves, they look like they're already skin and bones.

This certainly doesn't seem like a pretense; at least for the past two years, Qi Jingming has genuinely been unable to stand up.

However, in the original storyline, after Shen Shuqing found Wan Qianliang to treat him, Qi Jingming began to pretend to be disabled.

The second task issued by the system was to disrupt Qi Jingming's plan to feign illness.

While observing the situation with a detached eye, Zhou Wei was also pondering the logic of the system's tasks.

By this time, Wan Qianliang had finished his inspection, and a hint of doubt lingered in his expression.

Qiu Fangyun asked first, "How is Young Master Wan? How is the young master's condition?"

Wan Qianliang glanced at Prince Jiang Yueshan, but ultimately suppressed his doubts.

"I can cure the Crown Prince's leg ailment."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

Qiu Fangyun was naturally overjoyed. Qi Jingming was her future son-in-law, and if his leg ailment could be cured, it would also benefit the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

A smug look appeared on Shen Shuqing's face; this was the skill of the Divine Doctor Valley.

With Wan Qianliang's help, there would be no intractable diseases in the world.

As for Zhou Wei...

Shen Shuqing glanced at Zhou Wei beside her.

She's just a lowly servant girl, yet she dares to compete with the Divine Doctor Valley in medical skills!
