However, Lord Jiang waved his hand. "I'll talk to Mother. You can just handle it directly." This person had not only offended Mu Fengqie but also Prince Rui. If they didn't handle this person properly, it would only be the Jiang family who would suffer.
All Lady Jiang wanted was an attitude from Lord Jiang. Seeing his clear - cut attitude, Lady Jiang felt relieved. As long as it wasn't a spur - of - the - moment decision. Lady Jiang looked at the old nanny sitting limp on the ground, still in a daze, and smiled.
"Take the nanny away. I'll deal with her after Mother's matter is settled. Remember, keep a close eye on her." She still had many scores to settle with this nanny.
Hearing Lady Jiang's words, the old nanny immediately came to her senses. She quickly crawled over and grabbed Lord Jiang's clothes, begging for mercy.
"Master, I was wrong. This old servant was wrong. Please give this old servant another chance. I'll never dare again." The old nanny pleaded in a panic.
She knew she mustn't fall into Lady Jiang's hands. In the past, relying on the old lady, she had often caused trouble for Lady Jiang. If she fell into Lady Jiang's hands now, she was surely doomed.
Lord Jiang frowned in disgust at the old nanny grabbing his clothes. "Hurry up and pull her away from me!" Lord Jiang kicked the old nanny away and turned to walk towards the door.
Lady Jiang glanced at the maid behind her. The maid immediately understood her meaning and directly led two servants to drag the old nanny away. This old nanny had made their lives miserable on many occasions. Now, it was payback time.
The old nanny was terrified and tried to scream, but someone beside her quickly stuffed a cloth into her mouth. What if the master got angry with them because of her noise?
The old nanny was dragged away in despair. She had never thought she would be punished for bullying others. If she could do it all over again, she would never act like that. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
After everyone in the room had left, Mu Fengqie asked Zhu Fei to take out the things they had prepared in advance. Mu Fengqie sterilized the silver needles one by one. Yuan Yerui shivered involuntarily when he saw the thick and long silver needles.
Noticing this, Mu Fengqie smiled. "If you're scared, you can go out and wait for me. It may take a while to treat Lady Jiang."
Hearing this, Yuan Yerui immediately straightened his chest. "I'm a real man. How could I be afraid of a tiny silver needle?" Yuan Yerui said proudly.
"Really? Then stay still and don't keep moving around. You'll affect my acupuncture." Mu Fengqie glanced at Yuan Yerui and said calmly.
Yuan Yerui swallowed hard and silently walked to a chair beside and sat down properly, just like a primary - school student in class. Yuan Yerui looked at the silver needles in Mu Fengqie's hand.
They're so thick...
When Mu Fengqie first entered, she had already determined Lady Jiang's condition. The doctors were right. They were indeed helpless. Although the old lady had seemed fine in the past few days, this was actually a serious problem.
Lady Jiang's fall had directly injured her internal organs. There had been bleeding at first, but the old lady hadn't taken it seriously. Now the situation was even worse. There was severe internal bleeding, multiple bone fractures, and there were even comminuted fractures in some places.
Mu Fengqie sighed. She really didn't know where Lady Jiang had fallen to get such a serious injury. If she had come a bit later, Lady Jiang would have been gone.
Mu Fengqie inserted silver needles all over Lady Jiang's body. They were so dense that she had used up all the silver needles she had brought. But it still wasn't enough, so she asked Lord Jiang to get another set.
Hearing Mu Fengqie's request, Lord Jiang, who was waiting at the door, became even more worried. When he came out of the room, he had clearly seen Mu Fengqie take out the silver needles. Now she asked him to prepare more, which meant the needles she had brought weren't enough.
Lord Jiang kept changing the handkerchief in his hand. Finally, Mu Fengqie came out at dusk.
"Princess, how is my mother?" Lord Jiang asked worriedly, looking at Mu Fengqie.
"Fortunately, I came in time. Otherwise, your mother might have..." Mu Fengqie stopped halfway. Everyone present understood what she meant. Lord Jiang took two steps back in fear.
"Thank you, Princess, for your help." Lord Jiang bowed with his fists clasped.
"You don't need to thank me. Thank your wife instead. If she hadn't knelt at the back door of my mansion all night last night, given the current situation between our two families, I wouldn't have come at all." Mu Fengqie said expressionlessly, glancing at the surprised Lady Jiang.
Lady Jiang was truly surprised. Since her relationship with Mu Fengqie wasn't good, she hadn't expected Mu Fengqie to speak up for her. For a moment, Lady Jiang felt a mix of emotions.
Lord Jiang looked at Lady Jiang in surprise. Although he didn't usually interfere in the affairs of the inner courtyard, he still knew that she and his mother didn't get along at all.
He didn't expect his wife to be such a generous and filial woman. He thought he should have a good talk with his mother in the future and ask her not to make things difficult for his wife.
"Thank you, Princess, for telling me. I will surely live up to my wife."
After hearing Lord Jiang's assurance, Lady Jiang's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears. With Lord Jiang's protection in the future, her life in the mansion would be better. At least she didn't have to worry about Lady Jiang replacing her as the mistress.
"Lord Jiang, can't you arrange some food? My master hasn't even had a sip of water while saving your mother," Yuan Yerui said impatiently, looking at Lord Jiang who was thanking them repeatedly. His master was hungry.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go and ask someone to prepare the food right away." Lord Jiang went to the kitchen in person to give instructions to the servants after hearing this.
"Remember to prepare some nutritious food for my master. After all, my master is pregnant," Yuan Yerui said calmly, glancing at Lord Jiang. If the food wasn't good enough, he would turn the Jiang Mansion upside down.
"Don't worry, Prince Rui. I'll surely prepare the best food to entertain the Princess," Lord Jiang said. He didn't mind Yuan Yerui's attitude towards him. Lord Jiang was in a happy mood and didn't care about their attitudes at all.
After Lord Jiang left, Lady Jiang hesitated for a while before asking, "Why did the Princess help me?"
"I didn't want to either. But compared to you, I dislike your arrogant niece even more. What do you think?"
