Madam Qiu had been carried out!
She was in her early thirties, but she looked like an old woman in her fifties. Her clothes were old and dirty, and her face was full of frowns.
With the grand temperament of a poet, Madam Qiu's background wasn't that high. However, her own talent wasn't ordinary, so she couldn't be considered as the most beautiful woman. She was a lady with a noble and pure temperament. Madam Qiu was quite famous in Yanbei when she was young. There were many people pursuing her. If she hadn't been engaged to General Qiu, she might have been able to find someone who shared the same interests as him.
If they stood out, perhaps the Qiu Family would bite back and say that Madam Qiu did not follow the path of a woman, and at that time, the consequences would be even worse.
"How did it become like this? Cousin … Cousin! " A man in his early thirties, dressed in a teacher's robe, rushed out of the crowd.
The man had a gentle temperament and his appearance couldn't be considered outstanding, but it was very easy for people to have a good impression of him.
At this moment, the man did not care about his image at all. He stupidly rushed out of the crowd and threw himself at Madam Qiu's side.
Although the Qiu Family was defeated and their closest relatives were gone, there were always a few cousins. This man in a teacher's robe was Madam Qiu's cousin. If it weren't for the marriage agreement between Madam Qiu and General Qiu, he would have married Madam Qiu a long time ago.
All these years, he had never taken a wife and had always quietly paid attention to Madam Qiu's news. However, he was just an ordinary scholar. How could he have obtained information from the back courtyard of such a wealthy family? All these years, he had only managed to gather some information.
"This young master... Calm down. " As soon as the man jumped out, the official stopped him, preventing him from approaching Lady Qiu.
Please, in public, if a man pounced on Madam Qiu, the one who would be in trouble would be either Madam Qiu or them.
"Is my cousin well?" The man seemed to have reacted as well. He no longer pounced forward but looked at Lady Qiu who was lying motionlessly on the wooden board from a distance.
"You are?" The official did not dare to answer carelessly.
Madam Qiu was someone that the wangfei wanted, a weapon that the wangfei used against the Qiu Family. They could not let Madam Qiu's reputation be tarnished.
"I am a member of Madam Qiu's maternal ancestor's family. My name is Song Shuqing, and I am a teacher at the Yi Yuan School." Although Song Shuqing did not have any status, he was still considered rather famous in Yanbei. As an official in the Yanbei Academy, only people with a clean background and reliable character could enter the academy to be a lady.
"So it's Mr. Song. Please excuse me." The lower level people were the more respectful and knowledgeable they were. The official was much more polite to Song Shuqing, "Don't worry, Madam Qiu is still angry. We are currently carrying her to a doctor. I hope Mr. Song understands and will not drag us down the path."
"I'm sorry, I... I will get out of the way now..." Song Shuqing reacted and quickly retreated. He did not dare to move forward in order to not delay the rescue.
When the commoners nearby heard the official's words, they not only automatically made way for the official, but also reminded the people behind them to make way for the official to send Madam Qiu to the medicine store.
The prefecture lord had been in Yanbei for many years and had always been a coward. The nobility of Yan Bei looked down on him, and the people of Yan Bei didn't think much of him either. It was a rare experience for them to experience it, and they all avoided treatment wherever they went. They couldn't tell what it felt like …
In short, he was quite grateful to Ji Yunkai. If not for Ji Yunkai's forceful attack on the Qiu Family, he would never be able to rise above the masses in Yan Bei in his entire life.
Saving a life was akin to saving a fire. With such eyes, the commoners did not dare to hesitate and carried Madam Qiu all the way to the medicine store. The medicine store's old doctor began to diagnose Madam Qiu in front of the crowd.
Before he could finish his diagnosis, the old doctor's face darkened. "The government really doesn't think much of human life. This person's body is so decaying that it's like an oil lamp burning. The most important thing is that all of her internal organs are poisonous and she has been poisoned for no less than ten years. You guys, you guys …"
It was obvious that the old doctor hated evil as if it were his own. He was not afraid even when facing the officials.
In Yanbei, the officials were just decorations. In Yanbei, the people who really had the authority to be in the military were old, and doctors could understand if they didn't put the officials in their eyes.
The magistrate court did not get angry, but hurriedly explained, "This is not a criminal from our government, this is the wife of the general's household. We received news that the family wanted to kill the lady to silence them, so we led our troops to rescue her."
"Is this the general's wife?" The old doctor was even more shocked when he heard the words of the lord.
Putting aside the fact that this madam's appearance was comparable to that of a criminal, the wounds on her body didn't seem like those of the other wives either.
"Could it be that I was mistaken?" The doctor became anxious and pulled up Lady Qiu's sleeve. Her arm, covered with whip wounds and old scars, was exposed to the crowd.
"I told you I wasn't seeing things. When I was checking her pulse, I clearly saw that she was covered with wounds from a whip, how could it be the general's wife?" "If you want to deceive the madame, then make up some sort of identity. Look at this arm, even the servants of the general's household wouldn't have such rough hands and wounds on them, much less a lady."
The old doctor was not young, his medical skills were also excellent, and he could be considered a famous person in Yanbei. He was not afraid at all as he pointed at the wounds on Lady Qiu's arm and her split fingers.
