The solid wooden ruler was thrown out from Wang Ruofu's hand and landed on the ground about ten centimeters in front of Nian Shilan, making a crisp sound of two years.

The ruler was still stained with the blood of Jueluo and the two maids, and had turned black.

"Madam Nian, I am sorry for taking advantage of my age." Nanny Fang didn't hesitate any longer. She walked over to Nian Shilan, picked up the ruler on the ground, and rolled up her sleeves. "Press it down."

At a command, several maids pressed down on Nian Shilan's shoulders and arms, using unwavering strength in their hands to prevent Nian Shilan from breaking free.

Nanny Fang was ruthless and impartial. She raised the ruler and hit Nian Shilan between the waist and buttocks, one after another. Jianqiu stood by and counted: "One, two, three..."

Apart from this, there was no other sound at the scene.

Wang Ruofu looked normal, sitting high up in the center with a slight smile on her face, as if she were watching a good show. The Fourth Prince stood aside, sweating profusely, wanting to say something but holding back.

He wanted to plead for Nian Shilan, but the words came to his lips and he suppressed them again. He decided not to make trouble and avoid hurting innocent people.

The maids and servants who were serving beside them all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead, their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts. They didn't dare to watch Nian Shilan being beaten, nor did they dare to turn their faces away.

We can only pray that this battle between masters will pass quickly.

Not only is Nian Shilan fair-skinned and tender, she has also been spoiled with everything she wants at home since she was young, and she is also exceptionally beautiful.

Both the body and the mind had never experienced such pain and torture. I was unable to hold back the tears caused by the pain and tears streamed down my face.

Just like Xia Dongchun, who was awarded a hundred lashes of red sword for being too proud of himself in his previous life, and has been half-dead and trampled upon in the palace ever since.

But she is still luckier than Xia Dongchun. Wang Ruofu has never thought of killing anyone, and she is also stronger than Xia Dongchun.

Even though she had fallen into this situation, her eyes were still bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth and the handkerchief in her mouth, staring at Wang Ruofu fiercely with such a fierce look that it seemed as if she wanted to bite off a piece of Wang Ruofu's flesh.

.........

Thirty hits.

Nanny Fang took a step back with the ruler in hand, and politely apologized to Nian Shilan again. She walked slowly to Wang Ruofu and said, "Fujin, the beating is over."

"Yeah." Wang Ruofu nodded with satisfaction, and stood up and looked at the Fourth Prince proudly, which frightened the Fourth Prince so much that he snorted coldly and turned away.

Fourth Prince: “…” It has nothing to do with me.

"I think the concubine is so precious that she has never had a scratch on her skin since she was little." Wang Ruofu said, speaking kindly in a sarcastic tone.

"Go and take my card to the palace to find Concubine De, and ask her to send an imperial physician to treat Concubine Nian. Make sure she doesn't get any disease or scars, otherwise her beauty will be ruined."

Then he looked at Song Zhi who was completely dumbfounded and said unhappily, "Don't you have any sense? Hurry up and help your concubine go back to recuperate. What did your Nian family teach you?"

Nian Shilan was in very good health, much stronger than the Fourth Prince. He was able to stand up after being hit by the stick thirty times. He became even more furious when he heard Wang Ruofu's insinuation.

She shook off Songzhi's hand that was supporting her and pretended to walk back by herself, but she forgot that she was wearing very high heels to outshine the other girls.

Enduring the severe pain in his lumbar spine, he walked tremblingly to the main courtyard gate, held the railing and carefully stepped over the door with one foot, but his back foot tripped.

"what!"

With a thud, he fell flat on his face and lay on the ground without a sound.

"Concubine! Miss! Please wake up, don't scare me!" Songzhi was completely defeated. She was dominated by fear. She half hugged Nian Shilan and didn't know what to do.

It was only after Wang Ruofu heard the noise and came out to take charge of the situation that Nian Shilan was able to return safely to Mi Xiu Pavilion.

The imperial physician and the female physician from the palace arrived soon. After learning about Nian Shilan's injuries, they shook their heads and sighed, and said to Song Zhi disapprovingly, "Why don't you stop your master and let her do whatever she wants?"

Songzhi had a hard time speaking out her pain. She had no power to stop Nian Shilan from getting angry, so she cried and begged, "Please ask the imperial physician to treat our concubine as soon as possible."

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. There's no point in rushing it." The imperial physician spoke truthfully. "Originally, it was just a minor back injury. The fall also twisted his foot and aggravated the injury to his lumbar spine."

"Then...what should we do?" Songzhi blinked her ignorant eyes and looked at the imperial physician.

The imperial physician lived up to her expectations and comforted her, "It's alright, it's not difficult. Just change the external application medicine frequently every day, take a pot of decoction every morning and night, and you'll be fine in half a year."

"What? Half a year!" Songzhi exclaimed.

"Well, if you don't want to be half dead in your next life, you can't lose a single day." The imperial physician wrote the prescription with a calm expression.

Songzhi was so frightened that she almost fainted. After she held onto the table in time to steady herself, she hated herself for not just fainting.

How could she dare to tell Nian Shilan that she would have to recuperate for half a year? She hadn't even finished the bridal chamber and the tea ceremony, and she had to recuperate for half a year. Wouldn't that really make her an improper concubine?

It would have been wrong to say that Songzhi's mind was completely focused on making Nian Shilan happy. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the imperial physician's relaxed and cheerful look.

Without Nian Shilan's command, she took the prescription, gave a huge reward, and let the imperial physician go without asking where the imperial physician would go next.

As a result, the imperial physician walked out of Mixiu Pavilion without any hindrance and stepped into the main courtyard. He saluted Wang Ruofu across the screen and said, "Madam Concubine De has informed this old minister of what Fu Jin meant. It has been handled."

"...How is Concubine Nian now?" Wang Ruofu was silent for a moment, then looked around and asked something else.

If it weren't for the screen, the imperial physician would have seen Wang Ruofu's bewildered look. She thought and thought, but had no idea what she meant or what Concubine De knew.

Isn't it just using both kindness and force, and after suppressing Nian Shilan's arrogance, he would show mercy and find a good doctor to treat her? What's the point in that?

The imperial physician did not doubt him and replied, "The concubine is fine, but I have exaggerated the injury a little according to the instructions of the concubine and the concubine."

"The prescriptions are all good medicines for the symptoms. Even if General Nian finds many famous doctors to see her, there will be no problem. It's just to let Concubine Nian take care of herself and slowly recover."

"Oh..." Wang Ruofu drew out the last word of her voice and looked as if she had suddenly realized something. She wanted to pound the table to celebrate.

How come she didn't think of such a good idea? She must have been so stupid!

"Jianqiu, reward!"

The sound was as loud as the weight of a purse, and the imperial physician had great difficulty lifting it with both hands.

The imperial physician touched the purse given by Songzhi in his sleeve. It felt quite heavy just now, but why did it feel so light now? He thought that the Nian family was no different.

He happily left the Beile Mansion with the reward money from the main courtyard, looking back every three steps, and said he would come again next time! No one should compete with him for it!
