Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Puyang Xuan watched helplessly as Yang Jianwu entered the General's Mansion, a void forming in his heart...

It felt like being struck by a heavy hammer, shattering into countless pieces, each piece carrying an indescribable pain...

it hurts...

Yang Jianwu fared no better, also spending the entire night without sleep.

As dawn broke, Mu Jin helped Yang Jianwu get up and do her hair.

Yang Jianwu held a soft pillow in her arms, listlessly resting her head on it, her hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, letting Mu Jin do as she pleased.

After Mu Jin finished combing Yang Jianwu's hair, she forcibly lifted Yang Jianwu's face to look at her in the mirror.

"Miss, take a look at the new jewelry that Jubaozhai has sent over. You'll definitely look amazing wearing it... um..."

Mu Jin's words caught in her throat; she simply couldn't bring herself to say the rest of the praise.

"Hmm? What do you want to say?"

Yang Jianwu looked listless, her eyelids were swollen and she looked like she had been crying. Combined with her dark eye sockets, it was hard to look at her.

Mu Jin pretended not to notice Yang Jianwu's low mood and deliberately teased, "Miss, you wouldn't have gone out to steal someone at night, would you?!"

Yang Jianwu tried to open her squinty eyes. Good, they were too swollen to open...

"I didn't hear what you said."

Mu Jin laughed and retreated towards the door, "Hehe~ Miss, please take care of yourself."

Yang Jianwu used her ears to determine the direction and threw the soft pillow in her hand, yelling, "You're asking for it!"

After the two joked around for a while, Songyin came in and reported: "Miss, the envoy from Xipan has arrived and specifically requested to see you and Young Master Puyang."

"An envoy from Xipan? Who is it?"

Song Yin had heard about what had happened the other day. After hesitating for a moment, she said truthfully, "It was Lord Tan and the young princess. The visitors... were not friendly..."

"Ha~"

Yang Jianwu sneered, then slammed her hand on the table and stood up, the red jade bracelet inlaid with silver on her wrist clinking against the dressing table.

"Summon Puyang Xuan to the main hall! I want to see what kind of person dares to cause trouble in the General's Mansion!"

"Yes."

Songyin accepted the order and left, constantly trying to calm her frightened heart on the way. It had been a long time since she had seen her mistress so angry.

May Young Master Puyang Xuan have good luck!

General's Mansion - Hall

Tan Xin took a few sips of the fragrant tea, the aroma spreading between her lips and teeth. Xipan was poor in produce, and it was rare to taste such a high-quality medicinal tea.

However... we're not here for tea today...

Tan Xin raised his hand and slammed the teacup heavily onto the table.

With a "bang," the teacup tipped over, spilling the fine medicinal tea, and the hall was instantly filled with its aroma.

"Xin'er!"

Lord Tan gave a soft shout, and Tan Xin lowered his head and puffed out his cheeks.

She only meant to make a commotion to attract attention, but she didn't expect to go too far and ruin such good tea.

Frustrated, Tan Xin turned her anger towards Liang Yan, who was standing next to her.

"Your young lady has quite the airs! We're guests, after all. How can you keep us waiting this long? Is this how Dongli treats its guests?"

Faced with Tan Xin's accusations, Liang Yan acted as if she hadn't heard them. She expressionlessly changed to a new tea set, brewed the medicinal tea again, and then calmly presented it to Tan Xin.

"Princess, please don't be angry. Dongli has always valued etiquette."

When guests arrive, a visiting card must be presented to inform them of the arrival; this is a basic rule.

Unless they are very close friends, they can only meet directly in the inner room.

Since you neither presented your visiting card in advance nor are you a close friend of my young lady, how can you blame her for keeping you waiting?

Liang Yan's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and her reasoning was clear, leaving no room for argument.

"You bitch!"

Tan Xin raised her hand to teach Liang Yan a lesson, but Pu Yangxuan arrived in time to stop her.

"How dare you! This is not a place for you to run wild!"

When Tan Xin saw that the person who came was Pu Yangxuan, she changed her grip on his hand to hook her arm around his.

"Brother Xuan, you're here. I've missed you so much for two days."

Puyang Xuan shook off Tan Xin, "Young Princess, please have some self-respect!!"

Tan Xin stood shyly in front of Pu Yangxuan, "Brother Xuan, once we return to Xipan, you can resume your status as a prince. We are engaged, so why should you be so self-conscious?"

Puyang Xuan claimed to be Yang Jianwu's bodyguard. Tan Xin assumed that he rarely drank the tea served to guests at the General's Mansion, so she brought the newly arrived tea from Liang Yan to Puyang Xuan.

"Brother Xuan, have some tea to soothe your throat. The young lady from the General's Mansion is quite arrogant; who knows when we'll have to wait."

Even the maids are quick-witted; you must have suffered a lot in the General's mansion all these years.

Tan Xin muttered to herself, and glared fiercely at Liang Yan.

"Your brother Xuan can leave the General's Mansion at any time; no one is stopping him from 'suffering'!!"

Yang Jianwu's voice preceded her arrival. She knew she had never been good-tempered, and she would never tolerate anyone who dared to upset her!

"Liangyan, quickly remove the tea. The young princess doesn't like the tea at the General's Mansion. She'd rather spill it than drink it. And you still don't know any better than to refill it. You deserve to upset the princess!"

"Yes, I know I was wrong, I'll leave now!"

Liang Yan quickly snatched the teacup from Tan Xin's hand and removed it along with the teacup from Tan Jun Gong's desk.

"Sword Dance, I will not leave Dongli!"

Puyang Xuan now only wants to show his loyalty. If he doesn't seek forgiveness soon, he and Jianwu will truly see no future.

"The princess is here today, and I must explain myself clearly in front of everyone!"

"Brother Xuan!"

Tan Xin shielded Yang Jianwu behind her like a chick, and angrily rebuked her, "Miss Yang, Brother Xuan is my Xipan Prince, and he must leave Dongli!"

You have no right to stop Brother Xuan from returning to Xipan with us.

Yang Jianwu walked straight to the head seat and sat down. "Little Princess, you look like an idiot when you keep your mouth shut, but once you open your mouth, you definitely are!"

"How dare you call me a fool?! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Before Puyang Xuan could make a move, Yang Jianwu flicked out a silver needle to immobilize Tan Xin. Haha~ Having enough internal energy is so cool!

Lord Tan originally did not want to get involved in the verbal dispute between the young women, but Yang Jianwu's move really stunned him.

Furthermore, considering the Third Prince's (Puyang Xuan's) attitude towards her, this woman is extraordinary.

“Miss Yang, please forgive me. I’m spoiled by Bu Gu. I hope you will be lenient and give Bu Gu some face. Please forgive me.”

Yang Jianwu dusted off imaginary dust from her sleeves, showing no respect whatsoever to Lord Tan.

“Lord Tan, if you want to spoil your child, keep her at home. If the little princess doesn’t know how to behave, someone will teach her. It’s impossible for her to always consider Lord Tan’s feelings.”

Do you think the General's Mansion is your home? If you don't listen to me on my turf, then I'll teach you a lesson!

Lord Tan narrowed his eyes, his expression full of calculation.

"Then, Miss Yang, what do you think we should do?"

"As I said when I came in, the little princess's brother Xuan can leave the general's mansion at any time."

Yang Jianwu looked at the little princess, her eyes saying, "You're an idiot."

"I've made it so clear, and you're still foolishly saying I'm the one who's stopping you! Are you out of your mind?!"

Also, I don't want to know if you're sick, so please don't make it so obvious!

Tan Xin had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered such humiliation. Unable to move, she could only rage helplessly.
