Lin Xiaoruan snorted coldly, "Then you'll have to ask your good wife. She ordered someone to deliberately dirty my clothes and then made me bathe in her inner room. What was her intention?"
Tang Qizheng's suspicious gaze fell on Xiao Chen, and she burst into tears: "Master, you asked me to entertain the noble lady, and I treated her with extra courtesy to save your face. No one deliberately soiled her clothes. It was all the maid's carelessness, but she deliberately slandered me. I don't know who instructed her to do this. I don't want to live anymore, let me die!"
She was crying and sobbing, which made Tang Qizheng feel very distressed.
He quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't cry, I'm here, no one can slander you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhan Yan and said, "Marquis Zhan Yi, this commander, out of consideration for our old friendship, has hosted a banquet for you. I never imagined that your sister-in-law would deliberately frame my wife. You must immediately ask her to apologize to my wife!"
Zhan Yan frowned and said, "Old Tang, what are you talking about? Which eye of yours saw my wife's sister deliberately wrongly accusing your wife? Do you have evidence?"
Tang Qi was speechless when asked. He looked down and saw Xiao Chen crying uncontrollably in his arms. He said impatiently: "No matter what, it is a fact that your wife's sister hurt my brother-in-law. Let her be responsible for him!"
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up; this was the sentence she had been waiting for.
She said anxiously, "Master, the court doctor just examined my brother and said that his reproductive organs are severely damaged. I'm afraid that he will have trouble having children. How will he be able to marry in the future?"
Commander Tang took the hint and said subconsciously: "Then let her marry him. This way we won't hold her accountable for her mistakes. This is definitely the best outcome!"
Lin Xiaoruan turned pale with shock and quickly refused: "I won't marry!"
Commander Tang said angrily, "You've come to my territory, Tang Qizheng of Suzhou, and now you're saying you don't want to marry? Even your brother-in-law would never refuse!"
Lin Xiaoruan looked at Zhan Yan for help, and he spoke slowly, "Old Tang, I'm very disappointed by what you've done. Do you still have me in your eyes? Hmm?"
The cold and threatening voice made Tang Qizheng shudder all over.
He turned to look at Zhan Yan, only to see that under the moonlight, his tall and straight figure was even more prominent, especially the murderous look in his eyes, which made his heart beat wildly.
His fear and obedience to him came from the bottom of his heart!
Even though he is now controlled by Xiao Chen, deep down he still feels that Zhan Yan is not someone to be trifled with.
He spoke quickly, "Marquis Zhan Yi, I'm trying to discuss this with you. After all, my wife's brother was injured by her. If word gets out to the army, I'm afraid someone will use this to embarrass you and her!"
Little Chen immediately said, "Yes, my brother is now a general in the army. He cares about me, the youngest, the most. If he knew he was injured, he would definitely not let you go!"
Zhan Yan said coldly, "Tang Qizheng, aren't you the commander of Suzhou City? Who else could possibly dare to step over your head?"
Just one sentence made Tang Qizhen stunned. Yes, what was there for him to be afraid of?
He is the head of Suzhou City!
Xiao Chen was so anxious that cold sweat kept dripping down her forehead. She subconsciously reached out to grab Tang Qizhen's sleeve.
He frowned and pushed it away: "Forget it, let's take a step back on this matter. Chen Biao trespassed into Mingxuan's yard and caused misunderstandings. He deserves to be beaten!"
Lin Xiaoruan bit her lip hard and looked at Tang Mingxuan with some concern: "I'm sorry, I caused you to get slapped in vain!"
Tang Mingxuan replied helplessly: "It's okay, it's only natural for a father to beat his son!"
Hearing these words, Tang Qizheng's heart trembled inexplicably.
Perhaps sensing his swaying, Xiao Chen instinctively clutched her stomach and yelled, "Ouch, it hurts!"
The brief guilt that Tang Qizhen felt disappeared in an instant.
He didn't even apologize, but raised his hand and picked up little Chen: "Come here, quickly call the palace doctor, quickly!"
The inner courtyard was in chaos again, and Tang Mingxuan, with disappointment in his eyes, had no choice but to take Zhan Yan and Lin Xiaoruan back into the house.
Lin Xiaoruan felt very upset and felt a little sorry for Tang Mingxuan.
She quickly took the ointment and said, "Mr. Tang, let me apply the ointment to you first!"
Zhan Yan also stepped forward to investigate. He couldn't help but mutter, "Has Old Tang lost his mind? He actually beat his own son's face into this state. Why didn't he control his strength?"
This sentence reminded Lin Xiaoruan, and she quickly said: "Brother-in-law, I suddenly had an idea in my mind!"
Zhan Yan looked at her in surprise: "What's your idea?"
Lin Xiaoruan bit her lip and said, "Before, I was wondering why I couldn't find any signs of poison on Commander Tang. Now I have a guess. That medicine is not poison at all. Even the most skilled doctor can't find it!"
Zhan Yan frowned: "What kind of medicine is it?"
Lin Xiaoruan spat out three words: "Five Stone Powder!"
Zhan Yan was immediately shocked and broke out in cold sweats. He had heard of this kind of medicine, which could make people addicted. More importantly, it could increase his physical strength infinitely.
No wonder he has such a rosy complexion and is so strong. Now everything makes sense.
He said in a cold voice: "The most important thing now is to find out how he took the Five Stones Powder. Only by getting evidence can he wake up in time!"
Tang Mingxuan spoke obscurely, "It's difficult to check. My father's food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in the small kitchen in the main courtyard, and my stepmother has very strict control, so it's difficult to sneak in!"
Zhan Yan comforted him: "Don't worry, we must think of a foolproof plan!"
At this time, in the inner room of the main courtyard, little Chen was crying with tears and snot running down her face.
She choked with sobs, feeling wronged. "Master, did you hear what the court doctor said just now? My brother is so badly injured, I'm afraid he won't be able to be humane anymore. How can I explain this to my brother?"
Tang Qizheng rubbed his hands irritably: "This is a misunderstanding, and Miss Xiaoruan is Zhan Yan's sister-in-law. I can't pursue it too much!"
Little Chen picked up the brocade pillow and threw it at him: "Don't you care about my feelings? My brother hasn't even started a family yet. What will happen if his family line is cut off in the future?"
Tang Qizheng quickly held her hand: "Don't be angry, didn't the court doctor just say that you are not allowed to get angry again? You have to think about the baby in your belly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he yawned subconsciously.
He frowned and urged, "Madam, why hasn't today's ginseng soup been delivered yet? I'm feeling run down. Please have them make it for me quickly!"
Little Chen interrupted unhappily, "It's not even a little bit. Didn't I tell you yesterday that the old ginseng is gone? My brother has to go to Snake Ridge to look for it. He's risking his life, and who knows if he can come back alive?"
Tang Qizhen immediately became anxious. He walked back and forth a few steps with an anxious look on his face, and his breathing became more and more unstable.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll send someone to pick up my brother-in-law right away. No matter what, we must find the old ginseng!"
Little Chen grabbed him and said, "My brother is so badly injured, how dare you see him? If he asks about it, how will you answer?"
