Peach Blossom.

Si Yao was trembling all over, unable to express how scared she was. If anything happened to her mother-in-law Xiao Rui, she would become the sinner of the Wang family! Wang Jing didn't like her in the first place, and he would be even less willing to tolerate her in the future...

Wang Dun was still complaining to Zhou Yunniang: "The doctor is rushing over now, how can he be in time? You should find a doctor to live at home and take care of your mother's illness all the time..."

Seeing Si Yao was lost in thought, Zhou Yunniang pulled Wang Dun's arm and walked out of the main hall, into the courtyard and whispered, "There is a lot going on here."

Wang Dun didn't quite understand: "What article?"

Zhou Yunniang took a look inside and saw that Si Yao hadn't noticed, so she continued, "Before dawn today, Geng'er said he was hungry, so I went to the kitchen and saw Sister A Jiao cutting vegetables. They were the same ones we saw scattered on the floor in the house just now! But A Jiao didn't come..."

Wang Dun understood what was meant.

"The princess has just arrived, so naturally she doesn't know about her mother's old illness, but A Jiao knows it..." Zhou Yunniang sighed.

Wang Dun was immediately filled with anger and cursed: "Asshole! Fortunately, my mother had pleaded for her in front of the princess, but now she has become so vicious!"

Someone from outside brought in a doctor, and several maids rushed to invite him in. Wang Dun and Zhou Yunniang also went in together.

After a long while, Wang Ao and the doctor came out of Xiao Rui's room together, saying that it was a close call but nothing serious. They prescribed some medicine and told him to recuperate for a while.

Only then did Si Yao feel relieved.

Wang Dun hurriedly thanked the doctor: "Doctor, you have brought me back to health. I will definitely come to thank you someday!"

The doctor hurriedly returned the greeting: "You are too polite, Lord Zhongshu. The fact that the Madam is safe today is all thanks to the Third Young Master's timely use of acupuncture to control her condition, so that I could have the opportunity to treat her."

Wang Ao heard this and smiled shyly: "Doctor, you are too kind. I only read some medical books occasionally, so my knowledge is limited and my opinions are of little use. It is a fluke that they can be of use today."

"Why should you be so modest, Third Young Master? You are so young and yet you are so promising. You must have a bright future!" The doctor complimented him a few times and then said goodbye and left.

Wang Dun went to see the guest off.

Wang Ao, Zhou Yunniang and Si Yao came to the bedside to visit Xiao Rui.

Seeing Xiao Rui at this time, Si Yao inevitably felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly thanked Wang Ao: "Thanks to my third brother, otherwise my daughter-in-law would have been in big trouble today!"

Wang Ao's face turned red from the compliment. He leaned against the head of the bed and smiled shyly, "What are you talking about? As the saying goes, ignorance is not the fault. Princess, don't take it to heart."

Xiao Rui also echoed, "Yes, Princess, please don't blame yourself too much!"

Xiao Rui was relieved and took Wang Ao's hand again, and asked: "Good boy, when did you start reading medical books? How come I don't know?"

Wang Ao lowered his head, looking very uncomfortable: "I was worried about my mother's poor health, so I studied more in this area."

Xiao Rui was deeply moved after hearing this.

Si Yao suddenly thought of a way to forgive his sins, and hurriedly asked: "Since Third Brother is interested in studying medicine, why not go to the Zongzheng Mansion to seek a future."

"I asked last month, and the chief physician said there were no vacancies. He also said I was still young and there was no need to worry." Wang Ao still kept his head down.

Si Yao was very pleased to hear this: "There were no vacancies last month, but there may be some now. I'll have someone keep an eye on them, so that you can fill them if there are any vacancies!"

Wang Ao then thanked her and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Princess."

The family exchanged greetings for a while, and then dispersed to allow Xiao Rui to have a good rest.

When Wang Jing heard that his mother had suddenly fallen ill, he hurried over to visit her. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he met Wang Dun coming back from seeing off a guest. He asked, "How is mother?"

Wang Dun said: "It's all right now."

Wang Jing was about to go into the house to see, but Wang Dun stopped him and said, "Everyone has just left. Let your mother rest. Don't go in now. I have something to tell you."

So the two brothers went outside to talk in a deserted place.

Wang Dun didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point: "The one who made the soup was Ah Jiao, and the one who served the soup was the princess. You and I can probably guess what happened. There were a lot of chilies in the soup, but they were covered up by the other red vegetables and minced meat. The intention behind it was really vicious, which is really terrifying!"

Wang Jing smiled faintly, obviously not taking it seriously: "I know what big brother wants to say, but I believe that Gillian is kind-hearted and would not do such a thing."

Wang Dun was immediately furious and pointed at Wang Jing and scolded him: "It's because of you that she dares to be so bold!"

Wang Jing still smiled lightly: "It's really interesting. Since the princess came in, has there been a few days of peace? I haven't seen any of you say that you are so bold!"

Wang Dun was furious and argued: "Although the princess is spoiled, she is sincere to you and even more so to the Wang family! Just now she was planning the future for my third brother. The future of our children and the prosperity and decline of the entire Wang family all depend on her! How could you be so unwise?"

Wang Jing still smiled slightly: "I sacrificed my marriage, and my elder brother used it to seek welfare. Naturally, I am not as wise as my elder brother."

Wang Dun could hear the sarcasm in Wang Jing's words, and became even more angry: "What are you talking about? The reason I asked your sister-in-law for marriage was because her mother's sister was the current favorite concubine. A man should put the overall situation first, especially marriage! How can you only care about your own love?"

Wang Jing smiled coldly, "If I only cared about myself, I would have sent the princess out with a divorce letter! Big brother, what you said is very righteous, but have you ever thought that Ah Jiao is my first wife, not my mistress! If marriage should be based on the overall situation, I shouldn't have married her back then, so that she would have a chance to find another good man. But now, she has spent eight years with me. In these eight years, her parents have passed away, she has grown older, and she has given birth. You and I are only concerned with the glory of our family. Are we going to force her into a desperate situation and die in a foreign land?"

"You think of the kindness we have shown each other, but what about her? She has regarded our entire family as enemies because she became a princess. She almost killed my mother!" Wang Dun almost roared.

"I still say the same thing, I believe she won't do such a thing." Wang Jing was too disdainful to explain too much and just persisted in his persistence.

"Your trust has made your mother worried. You are such a filial son!" Wang Dun pointed at Wang Jing and could not think of any other way to persuade him.

"Anyone who thinks it's inappropriate for her to be in the Wang family can just kick me out." After saying this, Wang Jing turned around and left, leaning on his crutches.

After Princess Si Yao left her mother-in-law's West Courtyard, she immediately ordered her maid Ruchun: "Go to the Zongzheng Mansion and pass on my order, asking the imperial physician to arrange a position for the third son as soon as possible."

Ruchun asked, "What if there is still no vacancy?"

"There are so many chief doctors in the Zongzhengfu. Can't he just find a reason to dismiss one of them?" Si Yao looked very impatient.

Ruchun took the order and left.

Si Yao then ordered the other maids: "Let's go find that bitch and settle the score now!"

At this time, Yu'er had already gone to the front yard to go to school, and Taoye was very bored sitting alone in the room.

Qingxing was also feeling bored standing guard outside the door. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Princess Si Yao and her men coming in aggressively from outside, and she hurried forward to greet them and salute them.

Before he could ask any questions, Si Yao slapped Qing Xing in the face.

Qingxing was confused and her face was burning, but she didn't dare to ask why she was beaten.

Tao Ye seemed to hear something unusual outside and guessed that it was the princess who came to make trouble about the chili pepper.

Sure enough, the door was kicked open. When Si Yao came in and saw Tao Ye, he was about to slap her again.

However, Tao Ye had already anticipated this move and was prepared in advance. When Si Yao just raised his hand, she quickly reached out and grabbed Si Yao's arm: "You have to give a reason if you want to do this, right? Could it be that as a princess, you are naturally willful and mischievous?"

Si Yao was no match for Tao Ye in strength, so she had to give up. She put down her hand, but she was very unwilling: "You bitch, how dare you play tricks on me?"

Tao Ye smiled and pretended to be confused, "What did Second Sister-in-law say? Why can't I understand?"

Seeing Tao Ye's attitude, Si Yao was of course furious: "Why are you pretending? You knew that my mother-in-law couldn't eat spicy food, but you deliberately made spicy soup for me to send to her. What are you thinking?"

"I guess my second sister-in-law has a bad memory. When did I tell you to deliver soup? What kind of soup does my second sister-in-law want to deliver to my mother-in-law, and what does it have to do with me as her younger sister?" Tao Ye spoke in a very frivolous manner, as if she wanted to anger the princess to death.

There was no way Si Yao could endure such anger for nothing. She yelled at the three maids who followed her: "What are you standing there for? Hit her in the mouth!"

The maids Ruxia and Ruqiu immediately controlled Taoye's left and right arms, and Rudong stood in front of Taoye and hit Taoye's face with left and right arrows.

Si Yao was cheering on the side: "Beat her hard! Break her mouth, and see if she dares to talk back!"

After a short while, Tao Ye's mouth corners were bleeding and her cheeks were red and swollen.

"Stop it!" Wang Jing walked in quickly from outside the door, leaning on a crutch.

When Wang Jing was told by his brother that "A Jiao was the one who made the soup, and the princess was the one who served the soup", he had already guessed that Si Yao might come to settle the score with Man Tang Jiao, so after saying goodbye to his brother, he immediately rushed to the East Courtyard, and sure enough, he arrived there.

Seeing Wang Jing defending her, Si Yao became even more angry: "Don't stop! I'm going to beat her to death today!"

Wang Jing threw away his walking stick and drew his sword to put it in front of Si Yao's neck. This was the fastest way he thought to stop the murder.

The three maids were so afraid that something might happen to the princess that they were terrified and quickly let go of Tao Ye.

Si Yao was furious when he saw Wang Jing's sword: "You...you actually pointed a sword at me, but I'm your wife!"

Wang Jing smiled contemptuously: "What do you mean by wife? Have I ever proposed marriage to you? Have I ever gone to your house to marry you? Have I ever married you? Have I ever consummated my marriage with you?"

Wang Jing said such words in front of the servants inside and outside the house, which made Si Yao feel ashamed.

"I will only have one wife, and that is Gillian." Wang Jing put away his sword, walked up to Tao Ye, his eyes fell on Tao Ye's swollen face.

Si Yao was of course not convinced, she wanted to at least save some face: "Since you don't recognize me as your wife, what grounds did you use to threaten me with writing a divorce letter last time? You have already written a divorce letter with her, so why do you call her your wife?"

Tao Ye looked at Wang Jing, eager to hear his answer, and almost forgot the burning pain on her face, because the question Princess Si Yao asked was exactly what she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask these days.
