Chapter 417 Mo Yan's Little Thoughts
Duke's Mansion
Because Aunt Jiao was not feeling well, Pei Yuanqi immediately asked the court doctor to come and see her.
The Duke's wife was also having a headache because of what had just happened. What should she do?
When the master comes back in the evening, I don’t know how to scold her.
She just thought it was just an illness and nothing serious would happen. Moreover, Gu Ziyan had been increasingly disobedient recently, so she wanted to dampen her spirit.
But what about the injuries on Mo Yan's body?
He looked at Aunt Jiao with a bit of displeasure.
After all, he is the legitimate grandson of the Duke's Mansion. Even if he dislikes his daughter-in-law, it is impossible for him to dislike his grandson.
Although I don't usually see him much.
The court doctor came over soon.
Aunt Jiao pretended to be very uncomfortable.
"Brother Yuan Qi, am I very ugly now?" Aunt Jiao looked aggrieved.
Although Aunt Jiao is already in her early thirties, she is still in good shape because she has been protected by someone over the years and the mistress has never wasted her time.
Both her appearance and complexion are younger than Gu Ziyan.
But the scent of rouge and powder is very strong.
Pei Yuanqi saw the face that was swollen like a pig's head and comforted him, "It's okay. Ask the doctor to prescribe some good medicine for the wound and it will go away in two days."
Then he looked at his own mother and said, "Mom, you could just pretend to hit me, but why did you hit me so hard?"
The Duke's wife choked and glanced at Aunt Jiao: "You are blaming me."
Pei Yuanqi quickly explained: "Mom, that's not what I meant."
The old lady looked at Aunt Jiao and said, "Can you please be more considerate of your expression when you speak next time? Do you know who you hit? That was the eldest princess's legitimate daughter, Princess Anping."
Pei Yuanqi was also stunned: "She is Princess Anping,"
He had heard that Lord Xu's daughter was sent to Wuchengsi and imprisoned for half a month.
At this time, I also knew that Aunt Jiao was causing trouble.
Would his position be affected? At that time, Lord Xu was even fined his salary.
He immediately looked at Aunt Jiao with an unhappy face: "Jiao'er, I don't care what you do in the yard, but you have to be a little discerning outside and don't cause trouble for me."
Men are like this. They can be very magnanimous when it has nothing to do with them, but when it affects them, it’s a different story.
Aunt Jiao looked aggrieved, her eyes slightly red: "Master, I really didn't hit her!"
"Then how did you get the scar on your face?" Pei Yuanqi didn't believe it.
Aunt Jiao said, "How should I know? Besides, he is a princess, and our Duke's Mansion is the maiden home of Concubine Yi. He barged in without paying any attention to Concubine Yi. Even if he is the eldest princess, he is not higher than Concubine Yi!"
Aunt Jiao said cautiously.
Pei Yuanqi and the old lady heard it.
It seems to make sense. This shows that they don't take the Duke's Mansion seriously.
They had no idea how they tortured people.
Pei Yuanqi looked at the imperial physician coming.
"Come and see Aunt Jiao first."
"Yes." The court doctor came over.
Just a moment.
Seeing the court physician's furrowed brow, Aunt Jiao was slightly startled.
There must be something wrong with my body!
She has always taken good care of her body!
Pei Yuanqi asked worriedly, "Is there any problem?"
The court doctor put down his hand and shook his head: "No problem, congratulations, Master, Aunt Jiao is pregnant."
Pei Yuanqi said happily: "Really."
The court doctor nodded: "Yes."
The Duke's wife was also happy at this time.
There hasn't been a happy event in this Duke's Mansion for many years.
Pei Yuanqi has only three children, two by Aunt Jiao and one by Gu Ziyan. There have been no children in the mansion for ten years.
The atmosphere was already bad, but now it has become tense because of this sudden news.
Everyone is happier.
On the other side, the scene at Prince Rui’s Palace was quite different.
Wenzhu was the only one on duty at Prince Rui's mansion who came to report, and she couldn't believe what he said.
But looking at Wenzhu's expression, it doesn't look fake.
Go to the Imperial Hospital quickly to ask for help.
Wait until he brings the imperial physician to the mansion.
Looking at the person on the bed.
When Mo Yan saw the imperial physician coming, he hurried forward and pleaded anxiously, "My Lord Imperial Physician, please save my mother!" He clutched the imperial physician's sleeve tightly, his eyes full of helplessness and expectation.
The imperial physician looked down at the little boy in front of him and was shocked.
Who is this child?
King Rui’s grandson?
I saw that the wound on his head had been treated, but such a large area of trauma was obviously very serious.
And Shen Xia did all this on purpose.
The imperial physician's gaze fell on Mo Yan's little hand that was pulling his sleeve, and he found that his arm was covered with purple scars, which was shocking.
The imperial physician's eyes widened in disbelief, and anger surged in his heart.
This is the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion! How dare someone do such a cruel thing to him?
The imperial physician quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, child, I will do my best to treat your mother."
When Mo Yan heard this, his tense nerves finally relaxed and he nodded gratefully.
And he deliberately let the imperial physician see all this.
After all, the imperial physician is his majesty's man.
If my mother wants to divorce, it depends on what Your Majesty thinks.
The imperial physician shook his head and sighed, saying that the people in the Duke's Mansion were truly too cruel, to the point of abusing even an innocent child in such a way.
One can imagine what kind of torture they endured in the Duke's Mansion on a daily basis.
When Prince Rui hurried to his daughter's room, he paid no attention to what was happening nearby.
When he heard the news that his daughter was in trouble, he had only one thought in his mind - to go and see how she was doing.
He pushed open the door anxiously, and was stunned when he saw his daughter lying on the bed.
The daughter in front of him looked haggard, as if she had lost her vitality, making it almost impossible for him to recognize that this was his daughter.
He stared at the figure on the bed with wide eyes in disbelief, and a strong sense of grief and anger surged in his heart.
Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.
As a man, he understood that men don't shed tears easily.
However, facing his daughter who had been tortured beyond recognition, his heart felt as if it was torn apart.
He secretly made up his mind that the Duke's Mansion must make them pay the price.
The imperial physician standing by was equally shocked.
He had seen countless patients and experienced all kinds of hardships, but this was the first time he saw someone being tortured into such a horrible state.
In this world, although there are often fights and calculations between aristocratic families, usually, those torturous methods are committed by women whose stepmother's family has a lower status.
A cruel scene like this is extremely rare. Although the Rui Palace was slightly inferior to the Duke's Palace before, the third son of the Rui Palace has now emerged and held an important position. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
"Wuwu-wuwu-my daughter! Daddy must seek justice for you."
The corner of Shen Xia's mouth twitched.
Is this King Rui?
How could it be that this grown man was crying like this, it was totally inconsistent with his appearance!
It can be seen that King Rui is a kind father.
Gu Ziyan looked at her father crying heartbrokenly for her and wanted to raise her hand to comfort him, but she had no strength.
All I could say was, "Father...Father...don't be sad, Yan'er...is fine."
King Rui felt even sadder when he heard the hoarse voice.
