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

Chapter 176 It really was an act.

Liang Jiang didn't want to get involved or get caught up in it. Besides, she had just seen Jian Shuyan yesterday, and her smug, petty demeanor was truly unlikable.

"Since the Jian family has already invited the imperial physician, then I don't need to go, right?"

“When Wan’er was sick before, all the imperial physicians in the palace were called, but they were all helpless and avoided her. That’s why my mother asked me to ask my godmother to make the trouble of making this trip.”

For a moment, Liang Jiang was in a dilemma: "I'm afraid I can't treat Princess Wan'er's illness. If you're not in a hurry, you wait here while I go and find my mother and have her go."

Xie Fubai stamped his foot anxiously: "How can I not be anxious? You have no idea how severe Wan'er's illness can be when it flares up."

“Then…” Liang Jiang hesitated for a moment: “Didn’t you go to see Prince Pingxi? Perhaps a few words of persuasion from him would be helpful.”

“Of course I did look for her,” Xie Fubai said with distress. “But my cousin said that he can only persuade her for a while, not forever. If he comes and gives Wan’er hope again, she will inevitably be disappointed again later.”

That makes sense. Hesitation only leads to more trouble; matters of the heart shouldn't be dragged out.

"Then I'll go with you. As for whether it can be cured, we'll see later."

Xie Fubai had a lot of confidence in her: "I'll feel at ease as long as you go."

Liang Jiang greeted the mute man, took the buzzer needle and carried it with her, then followed Xie Fubai directly to the Jian family.

At this time, the Jian family was still in a state of chaos and turmoil.

Xie Wan'er had a seizure; she was rolling her eyes and convulsing, and it was truly terrifying.

Several maids and servants held her down, and she struggled until she was drenched in sweat. By the time the imperial physician arrived in a panic, she had already fainted.

The imperial physician was also at a loss. He sat by the bedside, took the patient's pulse for a long time, but could not figure out the cause. He could only try his luck and got up to write a prescription.

While unconscious, Xie Wan'er started talking nonsense again, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and sometimes cursing at Jian Shuyan, making Madam Xie anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Regardless of the cause of the matter, if anything were to happen to the young princess of the Marquis's mansion in the Jian family, the Jian family would not be able to bear the consequences.

In front of Madam Xie, Minister Jian gave Jian Shuyan a severe dressing-down: "Princess, you are of noble birth. In the future, when you marry into the Pingxi Prince's Mansion and become the Pingxi Prince's Consort, you will be the Princess's cousin-in-law. Can't you give her some leeway in some matters?"

Jian Shuyan knelt on the ground, covering her hands, her eyes brimming with tears of grievance.

"As soon as the princess arrived, she asserted her ownership over my daughter, saying that the Prince of Pingxi was hers and that my daughter should not presume to entangle herself with the prince. She also said that I had gone to great lengths to please the Dowager Consort, and that I could fool others but not her."

The daughter really didn't know what to say, after all, this marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, and it was not something she could change.

I said a few words, and she started crying and wouldn't let it go. My daughter had no choice but to let her go to the palace to see the Emperor and ask him to rescind his order. Who knew she would have a relapse?

When her daughter helped her up, the girl bit her hand, almost tearing off a piece of flesh.

Minister Jian, observing Madam Xie's expression, still feigned politeness and said, "The princess is still young, just a child. Can't you just coax her with kind words?"

Madam Xie was now in a real bind, and said, "This matter is not Miss Jian's fault. It's just that Wan'er is willful and capricious. Please don't blame her, Lord Jian."

Minister Jian scolded Jian Shuyan: "It's all thanks to the Marquis's wife's magnanimity that she doesn't blame you. Hurry up and thank the Marquis's wife."

Feeling wronged, Jian Shuyan pitifully got up and went forward to apologize to Madam Xie.

Xie Fubai, accompanied by Liang Jiang, entered the manor without needing anyone to announce his arrival.

The servants of the Marquis's residence immediately breathed a sigh of relief and happily went inside to announce, "The Princess has arrived! Princess Heya has arrived!"

Madam Xie immediately came out from inside to greet her, and grabbed Liang Jiang's hand: "Oh, girl, you've finally come."

Lady Xie treated her like a savior, and Liang Jiang was momentarily flattered. "My mother isn't here, so I came with Young Master Xie to check on her. How is the princess?"

Madam Xie wiped away her tears: "He's stopped vomiting, but he's still unconscious. This attack was more severe than ever before. He's really a worry."

"Then I'll go in and take a look. Don't be too anxious."

Madam Xie led Liang Jiang inside. Xie Fubai, due to his status, remained outside to wait.

Minister Jian, accompanied by Jian Shuyan, paid their respects to Liang Jiang.

Liang Jiang glanced at Jian Shuyan. In front of outsiders, she appeared extremely obedient and gentle, with beautiful features, like a piece of jade, exuding a scholarly and refined air. Her every move was elegant and graceful. She was completely different from the mean-spirited face she had seen at Jishetang yesterday.

No wonder Xie Fubai was so deeply in love with her, liked her for so long, and couldn't forget her. He's really good at acting.

Liang Jiang didn't say much, politely returned the greeting to Minister Jian, and stepped forward to check on Xie Wan'er's condition.

This princess was no more than two years younger than him, but she had a petite and delicate figure, slightly plump, with a baby face. Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as porcelain, and her eyelashes were wet, curved and curled, just like a porcelain doll.

This girl, as soft and sweet as a glutinous rice ball, exudes innocence and naivety. Even if she makes a mistake, who would bear to criticize her?
Liang Jiang sat down beside her and examined her condition, but she was equally baffled and found no problems.

Not to mention the use of medication.

She hesitated for a moment, but Jian Shuyan couldn't help but ask first, "How is Princess Wan'er? She should be alright, right?"

Liang Jiang's fingertips were still on her pulse: "To find out the cause of this convulsion, it's best to diagnose it when it's happening. Right now, the princess is unconscious, and her pulse is normal, so it's hard to make a judgment."

"Even Princess Heya can't figure out the cause of the illness?"

Liang Jiang said calmly, "I only have a rudimentary understanding of medicine. Why does Miss Jian have to praise me so highly?"

Jian Shuyan's words had a hidden meaning: "Princess Heya is a disciple of Yuhua Mountain, and the imperial physicians we have invited today are also the most outstanding in the medical field. If neither of you can diagnose the cause of the illness, then Miss Wan'er's illness is too strange. She is convulsing and biting people. It is simply too frightening."

Liang Jiang pried open Xie Wan'er's eyelids to examine her pupils, and didn't forget to retort:

"Doctors are human, not gods. Learning is endless, and what they know is just a drop in the ocean, a mere fraction of what they know. There are still many unsolved and difficult cases."

There was nothing she could do; with the holiday approaching, Liang Jiang simply couldn't bring herself to like Miss Jian.

Moreover, Xie Wan'er is, after all, her adopted younger sister, and Liang Jiang knows perfectly well who she favors.

Jian Shuyan choked for a moment and awkwardly stopped talking.

Meanwhile, Liang Jiang's fingertips kept tugging at Xie Wan'er's eyelids, and she moved closer, her breath audible.

It was probably the heat that hit Xie Wan'er's eyes; Liang Jiang sensed it keenly, and her eyelids twitched.

A thought struck her. She carefully observed Xie Wan'er's face, then placed her fingertips on Xie'er's pulse and threatened, "Lord Jian, could you please have someone get me a sharp knife?"

Minister Jian asked, "What is it used for?"

“Bleeding. Princess Wan’er must have some pent-up emotions. I’ll cut a gash on the tips of all ten of her fingers with a knife and squeeze out the black blood. She should wake up then.”

Minister Jian immediately turned around and gave instructions to the servants behind him.

Xie Wan'er's pulse did indeed quicken, clearly indicating that she was nervous.

Liang Jiang understood perfectly well that the girl was indeed faking it, or perhaps she had already woken up but simply didn't want to.
