"Sir, it's bad! Miss Chen is having another outburst. She's injured many people this time." The maids and servants were all hesitant because of Miss Chen's status, so they dared not stop her and could only be beaten passively.
There was no one safe in Miss Chen's courtyard. The servant managed to sneak out while Miss Chen was not paying attention to inform Lord Chen.
"How were you taking care of her? How is Miss Chen now?" Lord Chen immediately stood up and rushed towards the back courtyard, even forgetting about Jing Xunchi who was still in the living room.
Miss Chen had an outburst last night and injured quite a few people. Lord Chen thought his daughter was just overly frightened and a bit timid. After all, the doctor during the day didn't give a clear diagnosis. He never thought his daughter would go insane and attack anyone she saw.
When Lord Chen arrived, there were people lying all over the courtyard. The culprit, Miss Chen, was cowering behind a big tree, muttering, "Don't touch me... Don't touch me..."
"Lord Chen, it seems Miss Chen's condition is quite serious." Jing Xunchi followed Lord Chen and saw the mess in the courtyard. He never expected this woman to be so troublesome.
"Why are you still here, Marquis?" Lord Chen frowned and looked at Jing Xunchi, who had followed shamelessly, and asked.
"Of course, I'm here to check on Miss Chen's condition. I'll have to report it to Qier when I get back." As he said, he really started to observe Miss Chen seriously.
Lord Chen's eyes darkened as he looked at Jing Xunchi. "Is what the Marquis said just now still valid?" Lord Chen had no other choice. This couldn't go on like this. Before the news spread, he had to get his daughter's illness treated.
"Of course, it's valid." Jing Xunchi looked at Lord Chen with interest, as if he had been waiting for this question.
"In that case, please tell the Valley Master. If she can cure my daughter, I will surely reward her handsomely. If not... it doesn't matter." Lord Chen glanced at Miss Chen hiding behind the tree. He had no other options.
"In that case, I'll take my leave. I'll bring Qier here to treat Miss Chen tomorrow." After saying that, Jing Xunchi left without any hesitation.
"Come here! The servants in Miss's courtyard failed to serve properly and hurt Miss. Drag them all out and beat them to death with clubs!" When Lord Chen said this, there was no trace of pity. Only the dead could keep secrets.
"Qier, do you have any way to treat her throat?" After Jing Xunchi returned, he told Mu Fengqie that they would go to treat Miss Chen tomorrow.
"I'm not sure. I can only make a judgment after seeing her tomorrow. I hope her injury isn't too severe." Since she hadn't seen Miss Chen's wound yet, she couldn't make a definite diagnosis.
When Mu Fengqie was roughly planning the treatment plan for tomorrow, someone unexpected came to the mansion.
"Why are you here? You should be resting well. What if the people of the Grassland King see you?" Jing Xunchi's mood instantly soured when he saw Tule Haojia, who had come uninvited.
"Why can't I come? I'm here to say thank you." Tule Haojia looked at Jing Xunchi, who clearly didn't welcome him.
"Humph, no need to thank me. Just leave quickly." Jing Xunchi could tell at a glance that Tule Haojia was here for Qier. A rival in love had come to his door. How could he stay calm?
"Hey! Tule Haojia? Your body is better?" Mu Fengqie saw the two men glaring at each other when she came out.
"Yes, I've recovered about seventy or eighty percent. Thank you this time." Tule Haojia said sincerely.
"No need to thank me. I didn't do much. If you want to thank someone, thank Feng'er, the girl who removed the gu worm from you that day." Lu Yun deserved most of the credit.
"I've already thanked her. This time, I'm here specifically to thank you." Tule Haojia said, "I've decided that from now on, I'll protect you. I'll be your subordinate. Don't be polite. Just give me orders directly."
"What did you say?" Before Mu Fengqie could say anything, Jing Xunchi was already unhappy. Who did he think he was? "Qier has me to protect her. We don't need you. You might as well give up. Go back where you came from!"
Tule Haojia saw Jing Xunchi glaring at him with a cold look and smiled. "This is Fengqie's business. What does it matter to you? Can you control it?"
"Qier, you can't agree." Jing Xunchi turned to look at Mu Fengqie and said.
"Cough... Tule Haojia, let's just forget about this." Mu Fengqie could imagine that if Tule Haojia really stayed by her side, Jing Xunchi and he would definitely fight. It was better to forget it.
"Okay, but whenever you need help, just come to me. Although I can't be your subordinate, I can still be your friend." After saying that, he glanced at Jing Xunchi, clearly trying to annoy him.
Jing Xunchi's fists clenched tightly. He wanted to punch Tule Haojia right away, but Qier was still there. He couldn't be violent, so he had to endure it. He would find a chance to fight back after Tule Haojia left.
"Okay, thank you then." Mu Fengqie didn't notice Jing Xunchi's change.
"Do you have anything else to say when you come here?" Jing Xunchi didn't believe that Tule Haojia came just for this.
"Yes, I want to take over the Grassland Tribe." Anyway, he was idle now. He might as well take advantage of the Grassland King's absence to strike at the root and cut off the Grassland King's retreat.
"What's your plan?" Jing Xunchi finally looked at Tule Haojia seriously.
"I'm not a fool who only knows how to lead troops in battle these years. I still have my own people in the grassland." And they were well-hidden. Generally, they wouldn't show themselves without his order.
"What's your chance of success?" Jing Xunchi asked. If this thing succeeded, the Grassland King would no longer be a threat.
"Fifty percent. With your help, it can be said to be eighty percent." This was the most conservative estimate.
After thinking for a while, Jing Xunchi agreed. Eighty percent was enough.
The two went to the study and discussed for an entire afternoon. They didn't come out until evening. Mu Fengqie prepared dinner for them. She originally wanted to invite Tule Haojia to stay and eat, but that bastard Jing Xunchi said he was very hungry today and the food on the table was only enough for him.
Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunchi with a complicated expression. She didn't try to persuade Tule Haojia to stay anymore and just sent him back directly.
"Qier, why aren't you eating? The food is quite delicious today."
