"What did you say?" Madam Wen stood up from her chair excitedly, her heart beating: "She dares!"

The servant hunched his shoulders and dared not speak casually.

However, the nanny beside Madam Wen couldn't help but say, "This young lady has been spoiled since she was a child. She is fearless and has nothing to fear in the capital. She may not dare to really knock on the door. She is a princess and we are just officials. It is not right to not allow her to enter the door."

But not everyone has a gentle personality like Princess Qinghe.

On the one hand, Princess Qinghe takes care of her children and never complains.

But the person at the door may not give face to the Wen family.

Madam Wen hesitated.

"boom!"

There was a loud and noisy sound outside the door.

Madam Wen's face darkened: "What's going on?"

"Madam, madam, something bad has happened, someone is knocking on the door." The gatekeeper came running over quickly, looking very frightened.

When Madam Wen heard this, she was shocked. How dare someone break the door in broad daylight? This was outrageous!

"Let's go and have a look!"

Half of the gate was removed, and the guards cleared the way in front, opened the other gate, and respectfully welcomed Lu Jingning in.

Lu Jingning covered his nose with a handkerchief and walked towards the inner courtyard as if no one was around. When he reached the center of the courtyard, he ran into Madam Wen who was rushing over in a threatening manner.

"Who is trespassing? Are there any laws left?" Old Madam Wen stomped her feet and pointed at Lu Jingning. Before she could speak again, Xue Yuan rushed forward and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound was made with all the strength.

Madam Wen was hit so unexpectedly that she saw stars, lost her balance, and fell to the ground with her legs going limp. She opened her mouth and vomited blood, and there seemed to be a tooth in the blood.

"Old Madam!" The old woman behind her was frightened and hurriedly supported Old Madam Wen.

"How dare you! You don't even show respect to a big woman when you see her?" Xue Yuan shouted angrily.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and was so frightened by Lu Jingning's display that their legs went limp that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Lu Jingning bent down and grabbed Madam Wen by the collar, saying in a grim tone, "Old woman, stop talking nonsense to me. I want to ask you, where is Aunt Qinghe?"

Madam Wen was stunned by Lu Jingning's rudeness. Aren't noble ladies in the capital well-educated and well-mannered, knowing when to act and when to retreat? Even if they have a temper, they won't be like Lu Jingning, who is like a shrew in the market!

"I……"

"Go and fetch Aunt Qinghe." Lu Jingning ordered.

Xue Yuan picked up one of the maids and said, "Hurry up and lead the way!"

The nanny had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that she led the way tremblingly. Soon, she brought Princess Qinghe and Yun'er.

Looking at Yun Ge'er's flushed little face, Lu Jingning immediately ordered the imperial physician behind him: "Go check on the child."

"Yes."

Princess Qinghe handed the child to the imperial physician. She was not aware of the situation at the moment. She waited for the imperial physician to give Yun Ge'er acupuncture and medicine, and then told him: "This child has a weak spleen and stomach, and was greatly frightened. In addition, he has a weak condition brought from the womb, so his body needs careful care."

Princess Qinghe was worried and annoyed at herself for not doing her best to protect Yun'er, causing him to suffer so much at such a young age.

"Aunt." Lu Jingning gently hugged Princess Qinghe's arm and whispered, "Don't worry. Imperial Doctor Zhong is a great doctor and will definitely protect the child's health."

Princess Qinghe almost knelt down to Lu Jingning, but Lu Jingning quickly supported her and said, "You are the elder, and I am the younger. Are you trying to embarrass Aning?"

"Aning..." Princess Qinghe and Lu Jingning are six years apart in age, but at that time Lu Jingning was the center of attention, while she was reserved and could only follow Queen Fang obediently and talk to Lu Jingning occasionally.

There is no grudge or hatred between the two, nor is there much affection between them.

Princess Qinghe herself was also surprised that Lu Jingning could come this time.

"Why are there so many wounds on Auntie's body?" Lu Jingning lifted up Princess Qinghe's sleeves, and there were many bruises on her two white and tender arms.

Princess Qinghe put down her sleeves embarrassedly and shook her head to indicate that it was okay.

"Cough cough!"

When Princess Qinghe heard the cough, she realized that it was Madam Wen who was kneeling on the ground, and there were five clear slap marks on Madam Wen's face.

She was stunned.

As Madam Wen just stood up, Lu Jingning turned around and raised his voice: "Who allowed you to get up?"

The shout frightened Madam Wen so much that her hands went limp and she fell heavily to the ground, rubbing her face against the ground, grimacing in pain.

"I've been here for so long, why hasn't the Prince Consort come to pay his respects?" Lu Jingning looked around and didn't see Wen Chen, so she said unhappily, "Bring him here, I have something to ask."

No one spoke.

Seeing this, Princess Qinghe's personal maid gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Lu Jingning: "My dear, you don't know, the Prince Consort is in Aunt Xian's room now. Unfortunately, the Second Young Master also fell ill today and took away Doctor He who was supposed to treat the First Young Master. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the First Young Master would be in a terrible situation."

Lu Jingning pretended to be surprised: "Is there such a ridiculous thing?"

"No, that's not the case, Princess." Madam Wen quickly explained, "It's because my brother Lian is seriously ill, and Yun has always been in this condition, so I'm focusing on Lian first, not ignoring Yun."

Lu Jingning sneered and said to Xue Yuan, "Go and bring that Aunt Xian, Brother Lian, and Doctor He to me. I want to see how sick Brother Lian is. How dare he delay my nephew to see a bastard!"

Madam Wen opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but Xue Yuan had already left quickly. She could only look at Princess Qinghe, hoping that she would say something quickly.

Princess Qinghe hesitated.

"Aunt Qinghe, a mother must be strong. Blindly yielding does not necessarily lead to fair treatment. Yun'er is still young. Do you still expect this family to treat Yun'er well?" Lu Jingning held Princess Qinghe's hand and said, "Yun'er is three years old. It is not a good idea to delay his illness. How about returning to Beijing with me, aunt?"

"Return to Beijing?" Princess Qinghe was stunned. She didn't dare to think about it at all.

Lu Jingning patted his chest and promised: "When Yun Ge'er gets better, I will ask for a title for him. No one will dare to neglect Yun Ge'er in the future."

Princess Qinghe smiled bitterly: "I appreciate your kindness, but my father may not agree."

"To be honest, I came here on the order of my royal grandfather." Lu Jingning blinked and said it without blushing or beating his heart.

"Really?" Princess Qinghe was very excited. Her father had not forgotten her yet.

When she married into the Wen family, the Emperor of Southern Liang took away the Wen family's military power and also reminded her that women should always put their husband's family first and not to act like a princess and ruin the royal family's reputation.

Over the years, Princess Qinghe has been forbearing, fearing that something big would happen and make her father unhappy, and put Queen Fang in a difficult position.
