The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1132 - 258: All Around the World, Everyone is Your Mother_3

Xie Yi was still trapped in the realization that Mo Heng had bluntly accused her of lacking manners and her brother’s life and death were uncertain. She hadn’t grasped the actual meaning behind those words, only feeling that Pei Qin was finally showing her true colors—She too looked down upon them, siblings! It was merely concealed before, but now that Pei Wendong was about to marry Princess Xiyun, she no longer had to regard them at all!

Doctor Qi carefully examined Xie Ze. "He has some internal injuries, but they’re not serious. I’ll prescribe some medicine. After resting for ten days to half a month, he should be fine." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"My brother is already coughing up blood. How could it not be serious!?" Xie Yi asked.

"Ms. Xie, if you don’t trust my judgment, you can seek an external physician," Doctor Qi said, knowing that even if he managed to get Xie Ze to stand right away, they would still not trust him as the personal physician to the General and his wife.

Seeing that he wasn’t angry but rather seemed interested in a verification, Chang Yonglin directly ordered, "Go and invite a renowned physician from outside."

Dan Mingzhu was on her way over when she heard that a physician was being summoned. Thinking it was Pei Qin or someone else who was hurt, considering the huge crowds earlier, she hadn’t been able to make it through them during the day and had to wait until now. "I am a physician! Who’s hurt? Take me to them!"

Hearing this, the servants exchanged glances. One led her inside while another continued to summon the physician. Ms. Xie didn’t trust Doctor Qi, and she certainly wouldn’t trust Ms. Dan, especially since Ms. Dan wasn’t really a qualified physician!

Dan Mingzhu entered the courtyard, thinking it was Chang Yonglin who had been hurt, and her face changed slightly, quickening her pace.

Chang Yonglin saw her coming and immediately went to meet her. "How come you’re here?"

Dan Mingzhu, seeing he was alright, asked, "Who’s injured?"

On hearing this, Chang Yonglin immediately played along. "You’re worried about me? You thought it was me who got hurt?"

"Who’s worried about you! Your life or death is none of my business!" Dan Mingzhu was hit right where it hurt by his statement, and seeing his earnest gaze, she couldn’t help but feel her face heating up.

Chang Yonglin immediately clutched his chest, "I really am hurt! Internal injuries! I just coughed up blood! Doctor Qi is not skilled with internal injuries, that’s why they sent for a physician from Mingyi Doctor Hall."

He appeared truly under the weather. Dan Mingzhu half-believed, half-doubted as she took his pulse, only to feel his steady and strong heartbeat. "Are you tricking me?"

Seeing her irritation, Chang Yonglin quickly leaped back a few feet and watched her with a grin.

Dan Mingzhu huffed and asked who was injured. Upon hearing it was Xie Ze, her gaze flickered. "Who hit him?"

None of the attendants spoke explicitly, but since Xie Ze had rushed to the main house to settle accounts, it must have been the General who hit him. They didn’t witness it, but it was clear that Xie Ze must have done something to provoke the General’s wrath.

Dan Mingzhu also looked at the injury on Pei Wendong’s face. She was startled and, seeing that the servants kept silent and it was Xie Ze who was hurt, she decided not to interfere further and turned to leave.

Chang Yonglin immediately followed her out, explaining, "It was Brother-in-law Qin."

"Mo Heng!?" Dan Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. Her eyes shifted as she pondered, "Was it because he provoked Mo Heng or provoked Sister Peiqin?"

"Smart!" Chang Yonglin immediately commended.

Dan Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and set off toward the main house.

Chang Yonglin followed her. "You won’t get anyone else to tell you about this."

"I already know!" Dan Mingzhu didn’t wish to engage any further and walked briskly. Nobody said, but it had to be Xie Ze overstepping his bounds in provoking Sister Peiqin, angering Mo Heng’s bottom line.

Chang Yonglin touched his nose, "You’re too smart. I haven’t even said anything yet!"

Dan Mingzhu saw him flattering her and couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation. "Jiujiu! Xixi! Happy!"

The three little radishes heard her coming, certainly with treats, and quickly ran out. "Auntie Mingzhu!"

"Come and eat." Pei Qin called her over.

Dan Mingzhu didn’t dwell on other matters and just talked about today’s speech and the throngs of people. "I saw those commoners outside, they didn’t feel cheated and get angry because you’re a woman, instead, they were even more excited!"

"Eat up quick! I still have to go out to set off fireworks for them!" Pei Qin handed her chopsticks.

"Fireworks!? Are they for those girls whose hearts you’ve broken?" Dan Mingzhu teased with a meaningful smile.

Pei Qin could only chuckle, "If you want to watch, eat quickly! It’s already dark."

"I’m on it!" Dan Mingzhu ate hurriedly, swallowing some food down without caring if she was full. "I’m done, let’s go!"

Pei Qin had snacked earlier and wasn’t very hungry, so she just ate a little.

Jiujiu, Xixi, and Happy were all eager to watch the fireworks. Zhao Xiao Chen and Chang Yonglin took them out.

Pei Qin gave a few reminders before setting out with Mo Heng.
