A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Liu exchanged a glance with the court doctor. They had already discussed what to say after the diagnosis before coming to the ancestral hall. The court doctor had no choice but to cooperate against his will due to the threat from the wife of the marquis and the big red envelope.

"Madam, the third young lady seems to have suffered internal injuries, so she has a stomachache." The court doctor really didn't know what to say. There were no superficial injuries, and there were no signs of anything after checking her pulse. He could only make up this vague story.

Liu didn't care whether Xia Tian really hit her or not. She just needed an excuse, and now was the best excuse.

Liu thought they were speaking very quietly, but to Xia Tian, it sounded like they were talking loudly in front of her.

Are you trying to put the blame on her without any evidence?

Liu didn't know Xia Tian had heard everything, so she pretended to be anxious and asked the court doctor, "Did Lan'er really suffer internal injuries?"

"Yes, ma'am, the Third Miss's injuries are not visible on the surface, but she is in great pain. We can only say that she has internal injuries." The court doctor explained respectfully.

After hearing this, Liu turned to look at Xia Tian and said sternly, "Xia, I asked you to stay in the ancestral hall to make you reflect. I didn't expect you to be so vicious and actually beat Lan Er to such internal injuries. You are truly unrepentant."

Unexpectedly, Liu no longer beat around the bush and started to put the blame on her directly.

Xia Tian looked up in confusion, "Mother, what are you talking about? My daughter-in-law has been kneeling in the ancestral hall copying scriptures without moving a muscle."

Humph, she just won’t admit it, so what can I do?

Although Liu was angry, she also knew that Xia Tian would definitely not admit it so easily. The most important thing now was to put the blame on her first. Then, as long as she could find her flaw, it would be difficult for her to turn things around.

"Hmph, you're still quibbling. The court doctor just checked and found out that Lan'er suffered internal injuries. There are only two of you here. If it wasn't you who beat her, who else could it be?"

"Mom, I don't know about that. I didn't do anything. I was just sitting in the ancestral hall reflecting on my mistakes.

"My third sister went out for a while, and when she came back she said she had internal injuries, and I beat her up. This is ridiculous!" Xia Tian replied aggrievedly.

"It's no use denying it. Lan'er said it was you who beat her. If you hadn't hit her, would she have run away? The court doctor has also checked her out. Lan'er has internal injuries, and they can't be faked."

"Oh? Really? I, a weak woman, beat up Third Sister and caused her internal injuries? Do you believe this, mother?

Could it be that the third sister was dissatisfied with her father's punishment and made up an excuse for herself?

Besides, you can always tell if someone got beaten, right? Where did I hit Third Sister? How badly is she hurt? Let everyone see." Xia Tian asked sarcastically.

Liu thought that she was the only one here today, so she could have the final say.

"The court doctor's diagnosis is the proof. What else is there to say?" Liu was a little anxious. This matter had to be resolved quickly, otherwise if other people came later, she would be in trouble.

Xia Tian stopped kneeling and stood up from the futon. Facing Liu, he asked coldly, "What does the court doctor say? The court doctor's diagnosis can only prove that Shen Lan was injured. When was she injured? How was she injured? Has the diagnosis been made?"

Besides, what does it have to do with me whether Shen Lan was injured or not? You said I hit her, did you see it with your own eyes? "

Do you really think you're easy to bully? Say whatever you want.

Xia Tian's rapid reply made both Liu and the court doctor feel a little guilty, but unfortunately it had come to this and they couldn't retreat now.

"Madam, my diagnosis is absolutely correct." The court doctor saw Xia Tian looking at him sarcastically and made an excuse with a guilty conscience.

"Oh? The diagnosis is correct? Can you swear?" Xia Tian asked, staring into his eyes with burning eyes.

"Old man, old man..." The court doctor stammered for a long time without saying anything.

This oath cannot be taken lightly.

Seeing that Xia Tian was so aggressive that he frightened the court doctor, Liu knew that if she asked any more questions, they would definitely be exposed, so she had no choice but to strike first.

She showed off her power as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion and didn't bother to argue with Xia Tian. She directly ordered Qiu Yue, "During the period of Xia's punishment, she openly contradicted the elders and had a bad attitude. Teach her a lesson for me."

"Yes, ma'am." Qiuyue agreed in a clear voice and prepared to step forward. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time.

She was the Marquis's trusted maid, and had always been flattered by everyone. No one dared to act rudely in front of her, not even the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion dared to offend her.

However, the wife of the Crown Prince relied on the Crown Prince's favor and often gave her the cold shoulder and spoke rudely to her during the time when she was learning housekeeping from her. She did not take her seriously at all.

She was also punished by the lady several times.

Today is a good opportunity for revenge.

Xia Tian looked at Qiu Yue with contempt as she walked over, without moving a muscle. When Qiu Yue came close to him and was about to attack him, he raised his hand and slapped her to the ground.

This unexpected slap made everyone freeze in place.

The side of Qiuyue's face that was hit swelled up quickly, leaving a red slap mark on it.

Qiuyue sat on the ground and looked at Xia Tian in disbelief. She didn't even see how Xia Tian did it before she fell to the ground.

Liu pointed at Xia Tian in shock, "You, you actually dared to do that?"

When Shen Lan saw what Xia Tian had just done, she was frightened and took two steps back unconsciously.

Xia Tian did not answer Liu. He walked over slowly, squatted in front of Qiuyue, pinched Qiuyue's chin with his hand, and turned her left and right to admire her carefully.

Qiuyue sat on the ground, looking at Xia Tian with horror in her eyes. Her chin was pinched and she forgot to resist.

Xia Tian admired it for a while before lifting Qiu Yue's chin to show Liu and the court doctor, "Look, this is what it looks like after being beaten."

After saying that, he slowly stood up, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the hand that had just pinched Qiuyue's chin.

When Liu understood what Xia Tian meant, she was filled with disbelief and anger. She pointed at Xia Tian with a trembling finger and repeated, "You, you dare to hit my people?"

She really didn't expect that this damn girl would dare to fight back in front of her.

"Hitting someone? Mother misunderstood me. I wasn't hitting anyone. I was demonstrating to you and the court doctor what a person looks like after being beaten, so that you won't make arbitrary accusations against me." Xia Tian replied calmly while wiping his hands.

"You dead girl, you've really gone too far, haven't you? Come on, if I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think that I, the marquis's wife, am just a decoration?" Liu pointed at Xia Tian angrily and asked the two maids who came with her to teach her a lesson.

The two maids hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward, each ready to grab Xia Tian's arm and teach her a lesson.

Unfortunately, Xia Tian didn't tolerate anyone being alone. Before the two of them could get close enough, he kicked each of them out.

She did not hide her strength at all and fought openly in front of Liu.

Shen Lan looked at Qiuyue and the two maids who were knocked down one after another, exactly the same as when Xia Tian beat her.

She immediately screamed and pointed at Xia Tian and Liu, "Mom, did you see that? That's how she beat me before."

Liu also realized that this girl had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and Lan'er might have really been beaten by her.

Liu was furious and anxious. "You're really rebelling. You still dare to say that you didn't beat Lan'er. What do you mean by that?"

Xia Tian curled his lips in contempt. "A few maids still want to hit the master. Who gave them the courage? As for Shen Lan, did I hit her? Please produce evidence. Without evidence, even if the Marquis is here, you can't wrongly accuse me."
