“Could it be that Sister Jinyan caused her injuries?” Su Yingxue coldly questioned.
“If Miss Su insists on discussing injuries, then I will have a proper discussion with Miss Su.” Madam Wu waved her handkerchief. “Bring Miss in.”
A group of people outside the door brought in a luxurious chaise lounge. Wu Ruofei had thick bandages wrapped around her hands and legs, and she appeared before everyone with a resentful expression.
Madam Wu walked to Wu Ruofei’s side, held her hand, and wiped away two tears. “I came here today to have all of the people in the clinic to be witnesses. This is my daughter. She used to be a bit willful and temperamental, but she was a good girl. However, she suddenly encountered a calamity and had her limbs severed.”
Although Wu Ruofei lacked intelligence, her face was delicate and tender. At this moment, tears of anger were streaming down her face, causing many to sympathize with her. “Oh, what kind of person did this girl offend? She was beaten so severely?”
“It seems to be related to Miss Su. Could it be that she was the one who attacked her?”
“This is the Minister Estate’s daughter. Miss Su is too audacious!”
Su Yingxuc’s reputation was already not very good. Despite her previous accomplishment of healing Consort Xiang and gaining the reputation of a genius doctor, it had only managed to change the opinion of a few commoners. However, when Madam Wu presented Wu Ruofei to the public, it reinforced the negative perception of Su Yingxue.
Regardless of Su Yingxue’s exceptional medical skills, she was still seen as a person with questionable character, and cruel in her actions.
Su Yingxue’s eyes emanated a chilling aura. “If Madam Wu wants to treat Miss, I will accept patients as usual. However, if Madam Wu wants to bring Sister Jinyan back to continue tormenting her, I will not stand idly by. After all, your daughter’s life is important, and although Sister Jinyan is a concubine’s daughter, her life is just as precious.”
“Who is she? She’s just a servant that I can beat and scold as I please!” Wu Ruofei couldn’t bear to see Su Yingxue protecting Wu Jinyan like this.
Since she was young, her mother had taught her about the distinction between main and side branches. She was the legitimate daughter of the family and should enjoy all the love and favor, while people like Wu Jinyan were born as lowly as servants and dogs. She didn’t need to be polite to them and could treat them however she wanted.
Su Yingxue sneered. “Everyone present has heard it. In Miss Wu’s eyes, even blood relatives are considered servants. If I were to hand Sister Jinyan over to you, she would probably die in the Minister’s Estate, and no one would even bother to collect her corpse. Madam Wu, please understand that I cannot agree to your request.”
Madam Wu lowered her head and gave Wu Ruofei a stern look, gesturing for her to be quiet.
Wu Ruofei sulked with a pouted mouth, suppressing her anger. She thought that as long as she could bring Wu Jinyan back, she could continue to torment her as she pleased.
“Miss Su, how can you say such things? Although our Ruofei is a bit delicate, Jinyan is still her biological sister. Sisters often argue and bicker, but in just one or two days, they will still be sisters. Jinyan has grown up in the Minister’s Estate all these years, why hasn’t she mentioned her grievances until now? But the moment Miss Su appeared, she claimed that Jinyan was seriously injured. Now, she won’t even allow her to meet Jinyan. Miss Su, as a mother, how can I feel at ease with Jinyan being with you?”
Su Yingxue had to admit that Madam Wu was skilled at twisting the truth, but she would never allow Wu Jinyan to go back.
“Madam, you want to bring Sister Jinyan back and use her as a bargaining chip, don’t you?” she whispered in Madam Wu’s ear.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Madam Wu’s eyes. Her voice turned gentle. “Miss Su, you have misunderstood. As the mistress of the house, I must love and care for my daughter..”
