Noble Lady

Chapter 16: Stealing chicken but losing rice

He Ruyi was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything.

In order to save face, Liu said a few bland words, but there were innuendos in her words.

Ji Minrou was now in a period of needing to establish herself, so it was natural for her to go with her. However, a young and beautiful woman, also delicate and frail, could be more lethal when she spoke those sarcastic words.

Xue Chenyu sneered in her heart and just asked He Ruyi to tell her how she was beaten when she arrived at Furongju.

He Ruyi: "I, I've said this many times..."

"Don't panic, cousin. You are telling all this to your aunt and me. The lady and the old lady just came and they also want to hear what you have to say."

Liu also nodded to her.

He Ruyi was a little guilty at first, but with Liu, who was very concerned about her reputation, in front of her and Ji Minrou, who seemed to be trying to please her, behind her, she became confident.

Since she didn't see the little girl who hit her, she thought Xue Chenyu was bluffing. She puffed out her chest and started talking vividly.

Her description was so thrilling that it made the people in Furongju look hideous.

Doctor Xu shook his head when he heard this.

In his opinion as a doctor, if it was really such a dangerous one-sided beating, the second girl would have been dying by now, and it would be impossible for her to be so lively and energetic, dancing and speaking so eloquently.

She looked very energetic and vigorous, with only a few bruises on her face, which were superficial at most.

But he was an old doctor who had been practicing medicine for many years after all, so to be on the safe side he asked his disciple to examine He Ruyi.

"How can this be? How can the daughter of the He family allow outsiders to search her body at will? How disgraceful!" Liu's face turned green.

Doctor Xu was confused. What was wrong with him asking his disciple to examine He Ruyi?

It’s not like he, an old man, wants to give the little girl a close examination.

Without waiting for him to speak, Ji Minrou looked at him with a look as if she suspected that he was colluding with Xue Chenyu.

"Doctor Xu, we have always respected your medical skills and ethics. How could you make such a decision? We all know that you are a highly respected doctor. How could you..." You ruined your reputation for the sake of a legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an.

Doctor Xu could hear her voice-over, and his warm smile instantly turned cold, "Xiyan, introduce yourself."

His disciple put down his medicine box and stepped forward, politely performing a woman's cross-arm salute. "Jishan Hall apprentice Cheng Xiyan greets Madam He, Madam He II, and all the ladies and girls."

She hadn't spoken before, but now when she spoke, her voice was that of a girl.

Looking closely, she was not tall, she just had her hair combed up and tied up, and she had no makeup on her face, but she was still very lovely without makeup.

It is indeed a woman.

"My little apprentice has been learning from me for many years. She is a real girl. She only dresses in men's clothes for convenience when she goes out."

Doctor Xu's explanation was a resounding slap in the face to Liu and Ji Minrou.

In his heart, it was the first time in decades that he was suspected of colluding with others and plotting evil against patients, ruining his reputation. It was a great shame and humiliation.

Liu's face turned blue and red, and then red and blue again. She was so ashamed and unwilling to accept it that she had to stand up and apologize to Doctor Xu, saying that it was a misunderstanding at the beginning.

If there is no prejudice in this matter, and you don't start with sarcasm and ridicule, you can just ask and clarify it with one sentence. How can there be any misunderstanding?

But Doctor Xu did not continue to pester her for Xue Chenyu's sake and asked his disciple Cheng Xiyan to examine He Ruyi.

Close-up inspections inevitably require taking off clothes, and one person's words may not be convincing.

So Liu asked Huang Mama to take them to the inner room, and Xue Chenyu and Ji Minrou, as well as the two daughters-in-law of the second room and the third girl He Shuang also went there.

He Ruyi is now in a desperate situation, with no way out. She can only grit her teeth and cooperate.

Cheng Xiyan was not afraid. She had learned some techniques in Jishan Hall. Once she started acupoint massage, He Ruyi would let her do whatever she wanted.

So, under the gaze of so many eyes, He Ruyi was stripped of her outer clothes and examined.

And check it clearly.

There were no visible scars on his body, and the only ones that were visible were concentrated on his face and arms.

There is also one on the leg.

As soon as Cheng Xiyan came back and told Doctor Xu the test results, he knew what was going on.

Xue Chenyu also understood what was going on and laughed, "Second Miss, since you said that little girl from Furongju relied on her strength to punch and kick you, how could she have a club wound?"

She really thought of beating herself up.

The three female relatives from the second house also told the second old lady, who pursed her lips and looked like she was about to laugh out loud.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

He Ruyi also panicked and leaned towards Liu, "Mother, I, I was wrong. Anyway, all these injuries on me were caused by her..."

"But the little girl you mentioned said she had a skill passed down from her ancestors. She beat someone up. She looked fine on the surface, but she would die suddenly in no time."

"If you don't believe me, I can ask her to come over and confront her face to face."

"Impossible! I didn't have any injuries at the time. How could I have died suddenly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in Ciwenyuan.

Xue Chenyu chuckled, "So you're admitting that you didn't have any injuries originally, and that you inflicted these injuries yourself?"

He Ruyi just realized it, but it was too late.

"It's just nonsense!"

Liu was so angry that her liver hurt. How could she have given birth to such a fool after all her life's reputation was gone?

"But mother, I'm really in pain, but I don't have any injuries on my body. How could you believe me? That's why I..."

He Ruyi was so nervous that she wanted to grab her hand, but Liu shook it off. "That's enough! From now on, you have to stay in seclusion and reflect on your mistakes!"

He Ruyi collapsed to the ground in fear, "Mother, you have to believe me, I am serious..."

Unfortunately, no one would believe her even if she said it to the sky.

Mrs. Liu was determined to ask Huang's mother to send her back to her room. She didn't want her to make any noise, so she asked her mouth to be blocked. It was obvious that she was really angry.

Ji Minrou didn't expect that her cousin had been stupid since she was a child and could still be so stupid now.

How could she come up with such a stupid idea? She ended up losing more than she gained. How on earth did she get so smart?

My cousin must have gotten all the benefits of the He family.

Thinking of this, Ji Minrou became more determined to stay.

He also became more "gentle and considerate" to Liu, saying, "Aunt, don't get angry and get yourself sick. My cousin is still young and doesn't understand things. She was just fooling around. I'll talk to her properly later. She will definitely change."

"You are the only one who speaks for her."

The excuse that he was still young and ignorant could be used to shirk many things, which was equivalent to preserving the reputation of the He family in disguise, and Liu actually benefited from it.

Ji Min smiled softly and massaged her shoulders. She knew how to handle Liu best.
