Xu Hengyi found Xie Jiang's morals questionable! What kind of peculiar country was Lan Yong to produce such an odd human being!
Wasn't he beaten because she caused trouble with her reckless actions!
He was implicated! He was innocent!
Did she feel no guilt that he was beaten so badly he couldn't get out of bed because of her?!
Xie Jiang: Oh?
Why don't you ask if your paternal uncle and your own father feel guilty for beating you?
Xu Hengyi wanted to die. He completely gave up on arguing right from wrong with her.
They simply didn't live in the same world, under the same sky!
Xu Hengyi lay there, letting Yi Shan feed him with tears in his eyes.
The sweet and sour pork ribs were so delicious, he never knew ribs could be eaten like this...
The boiled sliced pork was even better, fragrant, spicy, tender, and soft, he couldn't stop eating it, but, "I've been beaten black and blue, can I eat something so spicy?"
Xie Jiang: "It's best not to."
Xu Hengyi and his servant looked at her in shock.
Xu Hengyi didn't know whether to swallow the pork slices in his mouth!
If she knew he couldn't eat spicy food, why didn't she say so earlier! Was he still salvageable after eating half a basin of it?!
Xie Jiang: "You've already eaten it, so stop talking nonsense. Apply the medicine I gave you, and it won't affect your ability to climb roofs and tear off tiles tomorrow."
Xu Hengyi's soul returned to his body. As long as it didn't affect him, he didn't know whether to choose the boiled sliced pork or the ability to climb roofs.
At this moment, a young servant entered the room, "Princess Qingyuan and Young Marquis Meng are here, they wish to see Young Master Xie."
Xu Hengyi immediately looked up at Xie Jiang. He felt he might be a masochist. Why was he worrying about this scoundrel?
"Understood," Xie Jiang replied indifferently, showing no intention of getting up.
The servant looked at Xie Jiang, a little confused. What did "understood" mean?
Xu Hengyi took a bite, glancing at Xie Jiang, "You're not scared, are you?" How strange, for her to be afraid. If she knew this, why was she so arrogant back then.
"Or perhaps you should run away through the back door?" Xu Hengyi thought for a moment and offered her a suggestion.
"You might really be your father's son, otherwise you would have been beaten to death long ago." Xie Jiang felt she should go meet the Princess and her son, it was better than watching this naive idiot here.
"Of course I'm my father's son! What nonsense are you talking!" Xu Hengyi roared in anger, instantly pulling at his่้จ, causing it to hurt.
Xie Jiang strolled out leisurely.
The servant immediately cast a grateful glance at Xu Hengyi.
Xu Hengyi took several deep breaths of cold air before feeling the pain subside. He took another bite of pork slices, then belatedly realized, and looked up sharply at Yi Shan to confirm, "Was she just calling me stupid? She must have been calling me stupid!"
"Uh..." Yi Shan looked at his young master with sympathy. Anyway, if he wasn't looked down upon by Young Master Xie a few times a day, he would get used to it. Why bother getting upset and making himself miserable.
"Why is she calling me stupid! How am I stupid! I'm not doing this for her own good, I'm thinking of her wholeheartedly..."
"Young Master, Young Master Xie is a distinguished guest of our manor. Even if Princess Qingyuan comes to demand an explanation, aren't Duke and the Heir still here?"
"I knew it! She's just relying on the influence of my uncle and second brother to act so recklessly!"
So what if she was relying on the influence of the Duke of Wei's manor? As long as the Old Madam still needed her medical skills, the Duke of Wei's manor would have to protect her.
Even if the Old Madam's poison was cured and other doctors could take over, it wasn't like Young Master Xie was indispensable. But Young Master Xie was still living in the Duke of Wei's manor, wasn't he?
Could the Duke and the second master allow Princess Qingyuan to take the person away from the Duke of Wei's manor just like that?
Did the Duke of Wei's manor still care about its reputation?
