Lichun was carrying breakfast and hurried over when she heard the noise. She pushed Qingyun away and stood in front of Jiang Ningwan.

"Who are you? Who allowed you in? Is the Prince of Chu's Mansion a place you can just barge in?"

But when Qingyun was knocked away, she fell to the ground, and the bag in her arms fell to the ground, and something inside made a breaking sound.

Qingyun's face suddenly turned pale.

He looked at Zhou Tingxu anxiously, "Miss..."

Zhou Tingxu's face looked grim. He quickly stepped forward to open the bundle and check it. Many of the medicine bottles inside were broken, and various medicine powders and pills were mixed together. Most of them were destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tingxu was instantly enraged. "This is the medicine I prepared for the prince! It's priceless!"

She stood up angrily and raised her hand fiercely towards Lichun.

"Bad maid!"

Jiang Ningwan's eyes darkened, and she quickly pulled Li Chun away and slapped her in the face.

"Ah!" Zhou Tingxu staggered two steps in pain.

He covered his burning cheeks and glared at her, "You broke the medicine I gave to the prince, and you hit me?"

Jiang Ningwan's expression was calm. "You came to rob my yard and even beat up my people. Your Zhou family is the queen's maternal family after all, how come you raise such ignorant people?"

"I'm not afraid of losing face for the Queen."

Zhou Tingxu's face flushed with anger when he heard this. "The prince allowed me to choose the courtyard!"

Jiang Ningwan put her hands behind her back and said slowly, "So what?"

"The prince agreed, but I didn't."

"Miss Zhou hasn't even married yet, but she's already moved into someone else's house and is competing for the mistress's residence. That's a bit shameless."

"Or was it your parents who instructed you to do such shameless things? Or was it the Queen who instructed you to do so?"

Zhou Tingxu's face changed, he felt nervous and embarrassed, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Outrageous.

She was ordered to treat the King of Chu, but Jiang Ningwan described her as a shameless person!

"How can you be so noble? You married the King of Chu and hooked up with Qin Beihuang. I saw it with my own eyes."

"A woman like you deserves to be thrown into a pig cage!"

Jiang Ningwan had been holding her breath for the past few days, and when she heard this, she simply flexed her wrists.

Walked towards Zhou Tingxu step by step.

Zhou Tingxu stepped back nervously and warned, "What do you want to do? I'm warning you that I am..."

The next moment, her collar tightened and a slap landed hard on her face.

Severe pain struck.

Qingyun exclaimed, "Miss!"

"Let our lady go!"

Qingyun rushed over and tried to pull Jiang Ningwan away, but Lichun immediately stepped forward and held her back.

"You came to my door and acted like a jerk. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Jiang Ningwan grabbed Zhou Tingxu by the collar and slapped him hard several times.

pop-

The crisp slap was particularly loud.

Zhou Tingxu was beaten so hard that his head was buzzing, his hair was a little messy, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

The moment he was released, tears welled up in his eyes, filled with hatred.

"You! How dare you hit me! I was sent by the Queen to treat the King of Chu!"

Jiang Ningwan crossed her arms, her eyes indifferent, "So what?"

"When you're on someone else's territory, you have to follow their rules. You don't understand the rules and you offend me. Shouldn't I teach you a lesson?"

Just then, footsteps and the sound of a wheelchair were heard outside the yard.

Zhou Tingxu's eyes rolled, and tears immediately fell down. He fell to the ground and said in a choked voice: "I didn't mean to steal anything from you. I just came to treat the King of Chu."

"I have admired the King of Chu for many years, and I simply cannot bear to see his health deteriorate. I want him to live, and I just want to do my part."

"Even if General Jiang can't tolerate me, he should still consider the prince's health..."

Zhou Tingxu cried feeling very aggrieved.

Qingyun also started crying, "Miss, let's go back. Why do we have to endure this?"

At this moment, Xiao Lan appeared at the gate of the courtyard, pushing Qin Shuangchi.

A clear voice came slowly: "What happened?"

Zhou Tingxu was startled and quickly stood up from the ground. He wiped his tears and said with his head down, "It's okay..."

Jiang Ningwan looked at her with disdain at her pretentious appearance. The slap mark on her face was still there.

"I hit her," she admitted frankly.

"Why?" Qin Shuangchi was puzzled.

"She's a bitch."

Zhou Tingxu got angry and glared at Jiang Ningwan.

Then she looked at the King of Chu with tears in her eyes, pitifully, hoping that the King of Chu would make the decision for her.

But Qin Shuangchi remained calm, looked at her seriously and said, "Be careful next time."

Zhou Tingxu stood there in a daze.

The atmosphere solidified.

Xiao Lan reacted very quickly and stepped forward. "It was my negligence. I forgot to tell Miss Zhou Er that this courtyard is where the Madam lives."

"If Miss Zhou Er wants to rest, I will send someone to take her to the guest room."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was secretly surprised. It turned out that he was not going to live here, but just take a short rest.

He was very shameless and went straight to her yard without anyone leading the way and asked to stay there.

"So you're just taking a rest? I thought you were going to move in and be my concubine." Li Chun sneered.

Zhou Tingxu's face turned ugly. How dare a maid speak to her like that?

Judging from the King of Chu's expression, he didn't care at all.

It was not easy for her to lose her temper in front of the King of Chu.

"It's my fault. I disturbed General Jiang." Zhou Tingxu lowered his head and left the yard feeling aggrieved.

Qingyun cried and said, "Miss, your medicine is broken. It must have cost you a lot of effort."

Zhou Tingxu's eyes were dim, he felt wronged and helpless, and he choked up and said, "If the medicine is broken, it can be remade, but if the heart is broken, it is difficult to mend it..."

Her eyes were blurred with tears and she looked at the King of Chu meaningfully.

His eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness.

Turn around and leave.

But at this moment, the King of Chu stopped her and said, "Wait."

Zhou Tingxu's heart moved. Is he finally going to support her?

She turned around expectantly.

As long as the King of Chu is willing to keep her in his palace, it would be fine.

Qin Shuangchi gestured to Xiao Lan, "Just buy all the medicine, no matter how much it costs."

"We can't let Miss Tuesday spend money."

Zhou Tingxu was stunned again, and clenched his palms in dissatisfaction, "No need, it's not worth the money."

Qingyun quickly agreed: "This is the young lady's thoughtfulness and hard work, which cannot be measured by money."

But Qin Shuangchi didn't buy it at all and said calmly, "In that case, please leave a list, Miss Zhou Er. I'll prepare the medicine and compensate you another day."

Zhou Tingxu's expression grew increasingly grim. "Those medicinal herbs are priceless and extremely difficult to find, so I won't bother you, Your Highness."

At this time, Jiang Ningwan walked out of the courtyard slowly, leaning against the gate with his arms folded across his chest, and said nonchalantly, "The precious things are nothing more than some black leaves, dragon stones, cicada blood, and formless bamboo. I can smell them all."

"Although it's precious, it's not hard to find. I have plenty here. I'll send someone to deliver it to Miss Zhou Er later."

After hearing this, Zhou Tingxu looked at her in shock.

She could actually smell this medicinal herb?

These herbs were indeed precious. How could Jiang Ningwan have smelled them among such a mixed smell? Especially in such a short time?

how can that be!

Zhou Tingxu's breathing was a little disordered at this moment, and he was extremely uneasy.

She has been studying medicine since she was young, but she cannot name these medicinal herbs so clearly without smelling and distinguishing them carefully.
