“You heartless child, how can you say such things? Don’t you care at all?” Aunt Liu angrily slapped the girl on her head.
Madam Jiang gritted her teeth in anger: “What an unscrupulous person, how can they be so cruel! Is our precious child from the Jiang Family supposed to be treated like this?”
“It’s as if they think we’re all dead!” Second Miss Jiang said.
“We can’t just let this go, can we?” Jiang Fourth Son, who had a more impulsive disposition, shouted, “We must make the Crown Prince pay for this!”
“Alright, all of you, quiet down.”
Jiang Ruobai frowned, “Of course we can’t just let this go, but there’s no need to rush for now. The Crown Prince isn’t having a better life than our Seventh Sister now. The most important thing at this moment is to treat her wounds. All of you go back to your rooms, the noise is only making everyone’s head hurt!”
“Second Master is right, we should all leave and let Seventh Sister rest.” Madam Jiang spoke up, “All of you, follow me back.”
She then consoled Lin Zizi: “Zizi, don’t be sad, this matter won’t end so easily. What’s so great about the Crown Prince? Can he just bully others like this? Our Jiang Family won’t be easily bullied either! When Master returns in a few days, he’ll definitely seek justice for Seventh Sister!”
Madam Jiang took the children with her, and the two concubines led their daughters back to their rooms.
The room finally quieted down.
Jiang Ruobai took a handkerchief to wipe Lin Zizi’s tears and said softly, “Madam, don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to fetch the best doctor for bone treatment. He’ll be here soon.”
Lin Zizi couldn’t speak.
Her heart ached too much.
Looking at her daughter, she wished all the pain and injuries could be on her instead.
“Before, when she was lost, she wasn’t by my side when she broke her leg. Now that she’s back, she’s been brutally beaten like this right under my watch. My heart… it hurts so much.”
Lin Zizi held her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably.
As a parent, watching their child suffer such torment, Jiang Ruobai’s heart was also filled with pain and anger.
But with his wife and children present, he was the pillar of the family and couldn’t be in tears like the women.
Jiang Yi ran back and forth several times, and finally, brought Yu Shengshou with him.
This Doctor Yu was a folk healer skilled in treating bruises and bone fractures, with a family inheritance of specialized orthopedic techniques.
Because of his extraordinary skills, people respectfully called him Yu Shengshou.
He came from humble beginnings, unlike the high-born Imperial Physicians in the palace.
He looked down on the Imperial Physicians, and they, in turn, looked down on him even more.
Most noble families wouldn’t seek his treatment.
Jiang Ruobai only knew him because of Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning was first found, he sought out many opinions, and even invited Yu Shengshou for a consultation.
Doctor Yu usually tended to the poorest people and couldn’t charge much for his services, so he lived a meager life.
After all, wealthy and powerful people lived lives of luxury, and the chance of them getting broken arms or legs was quite rare.
On his second visit to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Yu Shengshou carried an old and tattered medicine box, muttering: “Last time, I had already told you that if the bone wasn’t properly set, it would be useless… Hm?”
When he saw Jiang Ning, he stopped talking.
“Doctor Yu…” Lin Zizi stood up with tear-stained cheeks.
“Madam, don’t worry. Let me take a look first.”
Yu Shengshou focused his expression, put down the medicine box, and pressed on Jiang Ning’sleg.
Jiang Ning woke up in pain and looked at him.
Doctor Yu clicked his tongue: “I didn’t expect that someone in your household could be this ruthless.”
