Painting Doctor Jinhua

The little girl looked up at Xiao Jinyu, her wet eyes full of panic, which was quickly replaced by surprise and curiosity.

"Ah Yuan, why did you come here? I had a hard time looking for you."

Xiao Jinyu was about to speak when suddenly a woman's voice was heard, her tone gentle but anxious.

The woman hugged the little girl in her arms and held her for a long time before looking at Xiao Jinyu.

"Thank you for the rescue, girl."

The woman said something, obviously still feeling a little scared. If Xiao Jinyu hadn't picked up the girl just now, the girl who fell to the ground would have been trampled under the feet of the crowd, and the consequences would have been disastrous.

Xiao Jinyu also stared at the woman for a long time before saying, "No need, it's just a piece of cake."

"But this simple act saved my daughter's life. Girl, what's your last name? Whose family are you from? I will go to the family's house with the owner to express my gratitude someday."

The woman had her hair combed into a high bun, a jacket and a pleated skirt, which was the most common attire for women at the time. However, she had a dignified, gentle and cultivated demeanor that only noble ladies from aristocratic families had. Her eyes were gentle and bright, and there was a peaceful and kind light in them that made people feel close to her when they saw her.

The moment he met the woman's gaze, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but be slightly distracted, and some memories of his past life instantly flooded into his mind.

She still smiled and said, "Really, it's not necessary. However, Madam, you should avoid worrying in the future. Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed so that you can sleep well."

The woman was stunned and was about to say something when suddenly, there was another noise from the crowd, like the sound of horses neighing and galloping coming from far away. The people around her screamed and scattered like birds and beasts. Xiao Jinyu raised her head and saw a carriage with a rich canopy of precious cherry blossoms galloping towards her direction at lightning speed.

The horse neighed and roared as if it had gone mad.

Seeing the carriage about to cross over them, Xiao Jinyu shouted, "Phoenix, stop it!"

At the same time, Xiao Jinyu also picked up the little girl, tiptoed, and pulled the woman quickly back several feet.

At almost the same moment, the phoenix rose from the ground, soared into the air like an arrow, and landed on the horse's back. At the same time, it pulled out the dagger it carried at its waist and stabbed it into the horse's throat in an instant.

The carriage finally stopped, and the crowd that was so frightened that they dared not look anymore slowly opened their eyes and saw a boy about ten years old riding on the back of the mad horse, and the mad horse had already knelt down with its knees bent, and blood was gushing from its throat.

Another scream rang out from the crowd. For some soldiers who had lived a life of luxury and had never seen blood, seeing so much blood gushing out was an extremely terrifying thing.

But soon this feeling of horror was replaced by another voice.

"Who dares to kill my horse?"

Along with a woman's delicate cry, a girl in a rose-red dress with gold trim came riding from behind the carriage. The girl looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with almond-shaped eyes and long eyebrows reaching her temples. There was a sense of majesty between her brows when she was angry.

Following her stern question, a maidservant dressed in palace clothes and with two buns on her head came out of the carriage. She quickly knelt down in front of the girl and said in a trembling voice, "Princess, your servant...your servant..."

“I asked, who killed my horse?”

The girl shouted again. At this time, two more girls jumped down from the cows and horses behind them, came over and asked, "Princess, what happened?"

"I asked, who killed my horse!"

The girl pointed at the maid again and asked. The maid cried in fear. At this moment, the phoenix jumped off the dead horse, came forward and replied, "It's me!"

"Catch him!"

The girl gave an order, and dozens of guards rushed forward behind her. But at this moment, the girl shouted again: "Wait——"

The guards stepped aside, and the girl came over and looked at Fenghuang in surprise. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't look away. At the same time, the two girls who followed behind also fixed their gazes in an instant, dumbfounded.

The girl who was called the princess asked softly, "What's your name?"

Phoenix did not answer.

The girl then said, "I see you are dressed simply, your skin is white, and your eyes are blue. You must be someone's slave. You are good at martial arts, and you can tame my fierce horse. That's your ability. Why don't you follow me in the future? I will make sure you have enough food and clothing."

Phoenix ignored her and turned to leave. The girl turned pale and looked angry.

"Wait, this princess is talking to you, can't you hear me? Didn't your master teach you the rules?"

As she spoke, the girl stepped forward and raised her hand to grab Fenghuang's shoulder, but at this moment, a white hand reached out and tightly grasped her wrist.

"Princess, since you have a serious illness, please don't bring harm to others."

The girl was already unhappy when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. The next moment, she saw a face vaguely visible under the veil right in front of her, and her anger grew even stronger.

"Who are you? How dare you grab this princess's hand? And what do you mean by what you just said?" the girl asked angrily.

At this time, Fenghuang replied: "My brother Qing means that you are sick. Don't you even understand this sentence?"

"What's wrong? You are the one who is wrong. You are cursing this princess. Someone, come here."

The girl was about to call for help when she heard Xiao Jinyu say, "Is the princess of the Chen family so uneducated that she doesn't even know the most basic principle of repaying kindness?"

"What did you say?"

"Since you are talking to me about rules, I want to ask you, Princess, when will it be your turn to interfere in my affairs? Besides, he is not a slave, but a member of my family."

"So what if I am overstepping my authority? Who are you? Do you dare to compete with me?" The girl still refused to admit defeat.

Xiao Jinyu sneered in her heart. This was the princess of the Chen family. She was exactly the same as Chen Jianchen back then. She had no knowledge of etiquette, was not good at learning elegance, and yet had a preference for male beauty.

"It is human nature to indulge in food and sex, but the princess should know how to exercise moderation at such a young age."

When Xiao Jinyu said this, the girl's face turned red and white, and she pointed at Xiao Jinyu and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

But facing the gazes of those around her, the girl's eyes clearly showed guilt.

"There is a saying that goes 'live in a good place, have a good heart, and be kind to others'. Princess, since you are in a high position, you should also understand that water benefits all things without competing, and those who are in high places live in danger. You should restrain yourself and observe etiquette. Otherwise, those who are in the right will have many supporters, while those who are in the wrong will have few supporters. Who would be willing to get along with you? What's more, your words and deeds not only represent yourself, but also the face of your royal family. Tell me, am I right?"

As soon as Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, applause broke out from the surroundings.

"Yes, that's right. So what if she's a princess? Can she just snatch a boy on the street?" someone shouted.

At that moment, the streets were once again agitated and noisy.

Xiao Jinyu held Fenghuang's hand and was about to leave when another voice came, asking, "What happened?"

The two stopped and saw three figures in the crowd walking towards them in wooden clogs. Among them were two young boys. One was Xiao Yun whom she had met yesterday, and the other...

Xiao Jinyu narrowed her eyes, not knowing whether it had triggered the original owner's memory, some fragmented images emerged in her mind again.

Among these three people, the one that attracted her attention the most was the elderly man walking in front. He looked to be in his fifties, with a long beard under his lips, well-dressed, with a sharp gaze, and an extraordinary temperament like an immortal.

According to the original owner's memory, this person was her grandfather, Xiao Jian, the head of the Xiao family.

In memory, Xiao Jian's attitude towards the original owner was extremely strange, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When the original owner took her mother's token back, he still took her in and treated her like a aunt of the Xiao family, allowing her to go to school with the girls of the Xiao family. However, after the original owner became pregnant, this usually kind grandfather insisted on enforcing family rules and had the fetus removed from her belly.

Later, when an envoy from the Zhou Kingdom specifically asked for the original owner to sleep with him as a concubine, he sent her away without hesitation as a grandfather and also gave her a considerable dowry.

As Xiao Jinyu was searching through these memories, Princess Ningyuan's voice suddenly came to her ears again: "Brother Crown Prince, you came at the right time. This bitch...she bullied me!"

The three of them looked at her and Phoenix at the same time.

At this moment, a gust of river wind blew, just lifting the veil on her head slightly. Xiao Yun saw her jade-like chin and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Isn't this the miracle doctor who came to my Xiao Mansion yesterday?"

When it comes to the word "miracle doctor", Xiao Yun's tone is clearly filled with disdain.

At this time, Xiao Jinyu simply took off the veil on her head.

And just as she took off her veil, Xiao Jian's gaze suddenly fixed on her face, flashing a bit of surprise and disbelief.

"Aluan?"

He murmured.

Xiao Jinyu also met his gaze, slightly bent her knees, and called softly, "Grandfather."
