You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 15 I cannot leave the Fang family for the time being
Zhao Ma covered her face and ran to Yixiang Garden to complain, looking ashamed and embarrassed.

The baby has recovered and is sleeping peacefully.

Grandma Fang was annoyed that Tong Zhao'er was making a fuss over nothing, causing her and Fang Chengxu to lose face in front of many people. She was nagging about the wet nurse they had just hired, making veiled accusations.

“A baby crying is either hungry or needs a diaper change! Others may not know, but you've been a mother yourself, how can you be so impatient? You ran around yelling and shouting in front of others, making us all lose face.”

The wet nurse said aggrievedly, "Miss Sun did seem to be acting strangely just now. Not only was she crying incessantly, but her face turned purple and her body was trembling."

Tong Zhao'er was also annoyed by the baby's incessant crying. Hearing Old Madam Fang's veiled criticism, she immediately said unhappily:

"Since Madam Fang thinks we're making a fuss and don't know how to take care of a child, we'll send this child to you from now on. We'll trouble you to take care of him."

"I've always had a heart condition! I can't afford to get tired, and I can't afford to get angry!"

Grandma Fang immediately declined.

"So it's our turn to suffer and be blamed?" Tong Zhao'er immediately retorted.

Just as Fang Chengxu was about to offer some advice, a servant outside reported that a doctor had been invited.

Grandma Fang immediately waved her hand: "Miss Sun is alright now, let him go back."

The servant stood still and asked, "Then what about the consultation fee?"

According to the rules, even if a doctor does not make house calls, the doctor's travel expenses must still be paid.

Tong Zhao'er glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes, a little worried: "Let the doctor take a look."

The doctor came into the room, put down his medicine box, sat down in front of the sleeping baby, placed a finger on her delicate little arm, and closed his eyes.

The more he looked, the tighter his frown became.

The previously nonchalant Mrs. Fang and the others gradually became nervous, anxiously urging, "Doctor, how is he?"

The doctor withdrew his fingers, carefully examined the baby's face, then sighed softly and stood up.

"Reporting to the old lady, Miss Sun's pulse is thin and weak, which doesn't look good."

"What do you mean?" Tong Zhao'er's heart jumped into her throat.

The doctor hesitated for a moment: "A newborn baby is in a state of immature yang, with weak internal organs and a simple pulse. My skills are not advanced enough to make a definitive diagnosis. It would be best for you to go to the capital and invite a renowned pediatrician to diagnose Miss Sun."

Grandma Fang was reluctant to spend money and dismissed the concern: "The baby is only three or four days old, so naturally the pulse is not as strong and full as an adult's. This is just alarmist talk. Why waste money on the consultation?"

The doctor stopped insisting, took the travel expenses, shook his head, and left.

Tong Zhao'er was still worried, and Fang Chengxu had lost his desire to get to the bottom of things. He promised to drive to the capital first thing tomorrow morning to invite a famous doctor to come to the residence to examine the child.

Zhao Ma was quite familiar with the capital. Tong Zhao'er called Zhao Ma in, and Zhao Ma lowered her head and slowly lifted the curtain.

"Miss, I am too ashamed to go out and see anyone in this state. Please let someone else go with the young master."

Tong Zhao'er immediately noticed the redness and swelling on Zhao Ma's face and was shocked: "What happened to you? Who hit you?"

Zhao Ma immediately burst into tears: "This old servant has never suffered such a loss in all her years! Young master, you must do me justice!"

He embellished the story of Liang Jiang hitting someone earlier.

Tong Zhao'er was furious: "Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner! This is clearly disrespecting our General's Mansion! I'm going to find her!"

Fang Chengxu quickly stopped her, saying, "You're in your postpartum period, don't lower yourself to the level of a barbaric village woman."

Tong Zhao'er cursed loudly: "Now that you are divorced, you should immediately kick her out of the house. How can you let her run wild in the Fang family?" Fang Chengxu had the same idea. Liang Jiang's existence was undoubtedly a disgrace to him. Every time he saw her, he felt like he had a thorn in his heart. So he immediately went to Tingzhu Garden.

Inside Tingzhu Garden, Aunt Yu was already getting impatient.

"Miss, as you instructed, the valuables have been packed. This old servant will have the carriage prepared immediately. Shall we go home?"

The word "go home" holds an irresistible allure for Liang Jiang.

She shook her head: "No rush, let's stay for another two days."

Yu Ma was taken aback: "Haven't you been missing Madam for a long time?"

Liang Jiang gently bit her lower lip: "Fang Chengxu may have clues about my father's death in battle. If I leave, it will be difficult to get close to him again."

She told Yu Ma everything that Deputy General He had just told her.

"Deputy General Yu has been stationed on the border for two years and has not had many battles with the Xiliang people. However, Fang Chengxu has been able to have good luck repeatedly in just over half a year, making outstanding military achievements and being promoted and rewarded. This is indeed suspicious."

Perhaps, as Deputy General He suspects, General Tong has some shady dealings with the people of Xiliang. I need to find out more about it.

Yu Ma had just seen Deputy General Yu at the banquet, but because of Yu Liangjiang's status, she didn't dare to go up and acknowledge him.

Upon hearing this, he was immediately enraged: "This Tong Shouliang was promoted by the Duke and his kindness is as heavy as a mountain. To show his loyalty, he even changed his name."

Later, thanks to the battle of Xiliang, he achieved great success. We were only indignant that he had kept his troops stationed and refused to attack, and that he had changed his battle plan at the last minute, leaving the Duke to die without offering any assistance. But no one ever suspected that there was any conspiracy involved!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a maid outside greeted him respectfully, announcing Fang Chengxu's arrival!
Fang Chengxu pushed open the door and entered, where he saw Liang Jiang sitting upright in the central hall, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

He frowned slightly: "Is everything packed? I can have someone from the manor prepare a carriage to send you there."

Yu Ma looked at Liang Jiang, who said expressionlessly, "The things are packed, but I don't want to leave for now."

Fang Chengxu was taken aback: "You want to back out?"

Liang Jiang gently shook her head: "I came in a grand sedan chair with eight bearers, and I can't go back empty-handed and slinking away like this. Once I get my dowry back, you don't need to rush me. I won't stay a moment longer."

"My Fang family is large and powerful, are you afraid I'll deny it?"

"You're an official in the capital, and sooner or later you'll move your whole family there. If you sell your houses and land, where will I find you?"

"Hmph, you think I, Fang Chengxu, am shameless!"

Haha, you've done even more shameless things, what's one more?
Liang Jiang, unlike her sharp tongue of the past two days, did not retaliate. Instead, she said calmly, "If you don't like me, you should pay me off with money as soon as possible. Otherwise, there's no point in saying more."

Don't worry, even though I'm living here, I won't take advantage of your family in the slightest when it comes to food, clothing, or other necessities."

Fang Chengxu blinked: "Liangjiang, you've come up with such a lame excuse to stay at my Fang residence. Could it be that you still have feelings for me and want to get back together? I advise you to give up on that idea!"

Liang Jiang chuckled for a moment: "Did I do something wrong to make you think so arrogantly?"

Wasn't today ruthless and decisive enough?
Fang Chengxu wanted to refute, but felt he had nothing to say.

"The Fang family has plenty of houses; you can stay there if you want. But I'm warning you, don't hang around me unless it's important, and don't try to sow discord between me and A-Zhao. I have absolutely no interest in you, and I'll never change my mind."

Liang Jiang felt a chill run down her spine, and even felt a little nauseous.

"Don't worry, Young Master Fang. In my eyes, you are worthless. What interests me is only those few thousand taels of silver."
