As Mu Fengqie said this, Mrs. Jiang understood. The enemy of one's enemy is one's friend. "This humble woman understands. Princess, rest assured. This humble woman will surely 'discipline' my niece well."
Mu Fengqie nodded in satisfaction. "Regarding the recent affairs in the capital, as long as Li Jiaojiao shows an attitude that satisfies me, this matter will be over." Mu Fengqie reminded.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. "This humble woman understands. Princess, rest assured." Mrs. Jiang now had absolutely no hostile attitude towards Mu Fengqie.
Before long, the dishes ordered by Lord Jiang were ready. Due to Mu Fengqie's status, Lord Jiang didn't let his children come out. He had heard about what happened last time. He was afraid that if there was another accident, his mother's life would be in danger.
Just before the meal, Mu Fengqie had warned him that Mrs. Jiang's illness couldn't be cured in a day or two. It required long - term treatment, so Lord Jiang was being extremely cautious.
However, Lord Jiang's plan wasn't disrupted by his children but by someone else. Lord Jiang stared at the woman standing in the main hall with a dark face, wishing he could devour her alive.
"Uncle, Princess Tianlin is here. Why didn't you call me? I could have apologized to the princess." Saying this, Li Jiaojiao gave Lord Jiang and Mrs. Jiang a resentful look.
Mrs. Jiang stepped forward with an ugly expression on her face. Looking at Li Jiaojiao, she said, "Jiaojiao, go back to your room first. This isn't a place for you." Saying this, she was about to go forward and pull Li Jiaojiao.
But Li Jiaojiao took two steps back directly and looked at Mrs. Jiang blankly. "Auntie, what do you mean? Why can't Jiaojiao come? Is it because of the princess?" Saying this, she also glanced at Mu Fengqie, who was standing aside watching the show.
"Princess, Jiaojiao knows that I did something wrong before. Please be magnanimous and forgive Jiaojiao's immaturity." Saying this, Li Jiaojiao's eyes turned red, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
Mu Fengqie scoffed. "You're such a grown - up person and still claim to be immature? You're about to get married. If you keep being so immature, how are you going to get married?"
Li Jiaojiao staggered, and her face instantly turned pale. "What does the princess mean? Jiaojiao has already apologized to you." Li Jiaojiao bit her lip tightly and looked at Mu Fengqie, on the verge of crying.
But Mu Fengqie found Li Jiaojiao's pretentiousness extremely disgusting. "But this princess feels that your apology isn't sincere enough."
The hatred in Li Jiaojiao's eyes instantly intensified. She didn't expect Mu Fengqie to be so unforgiving. She had already been so humble, but Mu Fengqie still wouldn't let her off.
"But, princess, those common people outside are innocent." Hurry up and open the pharmacy! She had no more money to give to those wretches!
Seeing Li Jiaojiao trying so hard to hold back, Mu Fengqie sneered sarcastically. "If you can't pretend, then stop pretending. It makes this princess lose her appetite." Saying this, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.
Looking at Mu Fengqie's turned - away head, Li Jiaojiao clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to calm down.
"Li Jiaojiao, get out of here right now!" Mrs. Jiang scolded. She had long disliked this little bitch. She didn't expect that this little bitch would dare to cause trouble on such an occasion. She really needed to be disciplined.
Li Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, bowed, and left. She would never forget the humiliation Mu Fengqie had given her. One day, she would surely repay it.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Li Jiaojiao turned around and walked out of the door. She couldn't deal with Mu Fengqie, but she didn't believe that others couldn't. Li Jiaojiao smiled smugly and quickly walked towards the main gate.
"Please forgive the princess. Don't bother with her." Lord Jiang said obsequiously, looking at Mu Fengqie.
"Of course. This princess always distinguishes clearly between kindness and resentment. This is Li Jiaojiao's own business and won't implicate the Jiang family." Mu Fengqie's words immediately made Mrs. Jiang and Lord Jiang heave a sigh of relief. As long as the Jiang family wasn't implicated, it was fine.
The group sat down at the dining table. Mu Fengqie took a bite of the dish in front of her. She had to admit that, as expected of a royal merchant, there were things here that she dared to say weren't even in the palace. If you asked her why she was so sure.
Mu Fengqie glanced at Yuan Yirui, who was eating quickly at the table, and she knew. This child didn't even know how to hide himself in front of outsiders. If someone grasped his weakness, he would be finished.
When Mu Fengqie was on her way back after dinner, she saw a group of people gathered at the gate of the Jiang family. She was stunned for a moment. There hadn't been such a crowd when she came. Why did they suddenly appear now? And it was at night.
Mu Fengqie looked at the people below. After seeing Li Jiaojiao in the corner, she understood. These people were probably brought by Li Jiaojiao to deal with her, but Li Jiaojiao was going to be disappointed.
Mu Fengqie walked around the crowd expressionlessly and headed towards the carriage, but she was stopped on the way.
Mu Fengqie looked at the people in front of her and remained still. Due to her medical background, her nose was very sensitive. As soon as they got closer, she could smell the medicinal odor on them.
"Princess Tianlin, when will you open the pharmacy?" The people surrounding Mu Fengqie looked at her and asked. It seemed that if Mu Fengqie said she wouldn't open the pharmacy, they wouldn't let her go.
Mu Fengqie calmly looked around at the people. Zhu Fei and the others had already surrounded Mu Fengqie in the middle, protecting her comprehensively.
"What do you mean?" Mu Fengqie looked at the people around her with a confused look on her face. After all, she had to act realistically.
"Princess Tianlin is willing to come and treat Mrs. Jiang, which means she has already forgiven the Jiang family. So can the pharmacy be opened?" A person asked. Li Jiaojiao had told them today that Princess Tianlin was having a great meal at the Jiang family.
Suddenly, they thought the matter was resolved, so they went to the pharmacy to check. But the pharmacy was still tightly closed, showing no sign of opening. The common people couldn't bear it any longer and directly gathered at the gate of the Jiang family, waiting for Mu Fengqie to come out and demand an explanation.
"When did this princess say she would open the pharmacy?" As soon as Mu Fengqie said this, the common people around became restless. Mu Fengqie continued calmly:
"Didn't Li Jiaojiao tell you the reason why this princess has been delaying opening the pharmacy?"
"We already know. Li Jiaojiao offended you, and someone even attacked the princess. The princess wants to punish them. We have nothing to say. But we common people are innocent!"
