Chu Lianxin waved her hand and cursed, "You bitch, how could you beat your sister like this? Do you have no humanity left?"
Before the slap could land, Jiang Luoxue coldly grabbed her hand and forcefully twisted it backward.
Crack! The sound of bone breaking.
"ah--!"
Chu Lianxin screamed in agony, large beads of sweat rolling down her pale face.
"Jiang Luoxue, I am your mother! How dare you murder your mother!"
Jiang Luoxue smiled coldly, pulled Chu Lianxin's hand to a strange angle, and whispered in her ear, "My mother has long since passed away."
"Chu Lianxin, would you like me to send you down to keep her company and properly apologize to her?"
"What...what do you mean by that!" Chu Lianxin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she could barely speak.
"Don't you know perfectly well what I mean?"
A strange smile appeared on Jiang Luoxue's lips as she whispered in Chu Lianxin's ear like a demon:
"Chu Lianxin, when you wake up in the middle of the night, do you see my mother coming back to take your life?!"
"You...you stop making baseless accusations! Your mother died in childbirth, not because I killed her! What...what does she want with me?!"
Chu Lianxin had been feeling uneasy ever since she heard that the Liu family was coming to the capital. Startled by this, she blurted out the answer.
Jiang Luoxue had only intended to test her stepmother after hearing what the Duchess of Anguo said.
Seeing Chu Lianxin's guilty conscience, she was now completely certain that Liu's death was inextricably linked to the woman in front of her.
I just don't know if that scumbag Jiang Yucheng was involved.
Jiang Luoxue's lips curled into a cold, wicked smile: "You know in your heart whether my mother had a difficult childbirth or not. Chu Lianxin has some debts that she will have to pay back sooner or later."
After saying that, she ruthlessly pushed the shocked woman to the ground and turned to go back to Wensi Garden.
She wouldn't kill Chu Lianxin immediately, because that would be too easy.
She wanted to ruin this wicked woman's reputation and then send her to a miserable death.
Back in the courtyard, she instructed Mo Ba, who was now her personal guard, "Qiu Ming, keep a close eye on Chu Lianxin's every move. If anything happens, come and tell me immediately."
"Also, investigate who Chu Lianxin instructed to administer the drug I was given a few days ago."
"Yes, Master!" Qiu Ming slipped away.
Jiang Luoxue then instructed Zhu Ying: "Find someone to help me investigate the whereabouts of the servants in my mother's room when she gave birth, as well as the midwife. Once you find them, don't alert anyone in the mansion. Bring them back secretly and settle them properly."
Zhu Ying bent down and went to carry out the mission without saying a word.
After giving the instructions, Jiang Luoxue felt a little thirsty.
Chunhe immediately poured her a cup of tea considerately: "Master, please have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."
After drinking two cups of tea, Jiang Ruoxue finally felt her throat feel better.
Then she said to Chunhe and Qiuju, "I'm going inside to rest for a while. You two guard the door and don't let anyone in."
After entering the house and closing the door, Jiang Luoxue slipped into her spatial dimension, drank a bowl of spiritual spring water, practiced her kung fu for a while, took a shower, and then lay down on the smart bed to comfortably drift off to sleep.
Changchun Courtyard
Chu Lianxin endured the pain and returned to the house, where she found a doctor to treat herself and her daughter.
When the doctor saw Jiang Ruzhu's disfigured face, he was shocked.
He thought to himself, "I wonder who this second young lady of the Jiang family has offended, that they would treat her so harshly."
Judging from this, even if it heals, it will probably leave a scar!
He glanced at Chu Lianxin's hand, which trembled at the slightest touch, and felt a bitter pang in his heart. If he had known that both of them were so badly injured, he would have made an excuse not to come and let them find someone else.
"What are you still dawdling about? Hurry up and come treat my and the second young lady's injuries!"
"Yes, I will treat you immediately." The doctor resignedly stepped forward and first examined Chu Lianxin's hand.
As soon as the doctor touched the broken bone, Chu Lianxin felt a heart-wrenching pain, which made her so angry that she kicked the doctor.
"You bastard, don't you know to be gentle? Do you want to hurt me to death?"
The doctor, though kicked to the ground, dared not be angry. He got up, knelt down, and explained, "I'm sorry, madam, your hand was broken in the middle from the bone."
"I need to determine the extent of the fracture before I can treat it, so please bear with it, Madam."
"If this injury isn't treated promptly, it will develop into a boil and your hand will be ruined."
"Then hurry up!" Chu Lianxin was so frightened by the doctor's words that she dared not lose her temper anymore, and could only endure the excruciating pain as the doctor continued to examine her bones.
By the time the doctor had put on the splints, Chu Lianxin's voice was hoarse from howling, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, making her look like she had been pulled out of the water.
She didn't even have the strength to speak.
If it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago, disregarding all etiquette.
Even more cruelly, the doctor told her that even if her hand recovered, she would never be able to hold anything again, and would be completely useless.
Upon hearing this, Chu Lianxin's eyes rolled back, and she fainted instantly.
The maids hurriedly helped her to bed, and the doctor inserted several acupuncture needles into her acupoints. Then he told the maids that their mistress would wake up in an hour.
Yu Zan and the others were relieved after hearing this, and then asked the doctor to treat Jiang Ruzhu's injuries.
Jiang Ruzhu's injury is relatively simple. Just treat the wound properly and prescribe some wound medicine and some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Jiang Ruzhu was most worried about her face. After the doctor finished prescribing the medicine, she hurriedly asked, "Won't this leave a scar on my face?"
The doctor glanced at her face and said, "Nothing else will be there, only the skin on the left side of your face is ruptured and bleeding, which may leave a scar."
"How could this happen!" Jiang Ruzhu felt like the sky was falling after hearing this. Helplessly, she grabbed the doctor's sleeve: "Doctor, I order you to find a way to remove this scar on my face, or I will have my father tear down your lousy clinic."
"This humble subject is truly powerless to help, Second Miss, please be merciful and spare this humble subject." The doctor felt bitter inside; he was really unlucky to have encountered this mother and daughter, neither of whom were easy to deal with.
In order not to provoke this powerful figure, the doctor had no choice but to give her some advice.
"However, if we can get the White Jade Nourishing Cream from the palace, then the scar on your face can be removed, Second Miss."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhu's worry immediately turned to joy, and her mood improved. She said to the doctor, "I understand, you can go now!"
Yes~
The doctor wiped the sweat from his face, quickly pointed to his medicine box, bent over and took a few steps back before turning and leaving.
Once outside, he removed the fear from his face, paused, and gave a cold glance towards Jiang Ruzhu's room and Chu Lianxin's room.
snort!
They take advantage of their power and don't treat others like human beings. Even if they could cure you, they wouldn't, and they'd make you suffer terribly!
He silently spat it out, lifted the medical kit on his shoulder, and then followed the maid who was leading the way away.
