Chapter 314 - 314: Who Will Report a Case to the Court?

“Wife, did you do it on purpose?” “Which one?”

“The matter with the steel?”

“Yes, it gave me quite a scare, but fortunately, the emperor is a wise ruler. No one has tried to negotiate conditions with him yet.”

“You must believe me. I dare not say anything else, but in the Ming Dynasty, no one could bully our family, including the emperor. When I negotiate conditions with him, it’s a sign of respect.”

Yuan Jiaqi embraced her, feeling a sense of pride.

“I don’t want you to sacrifice anything for me.”

“It’s just the method to make steel. The emperor is still a good person. I am willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. After all, constant warfare makes life difficult for the people, and if they have no money, who will patronize my business?”

“Haha, makes sense.”

Since the emperor decreed the marriage, the Qiao family became a hot topic in the capital. Typically, a royal princess vies for a live-in husband, but Jiamei is marrying down. This reflects the emperor’s high regard for Yuan Jiaqi’s family.

At this time, Jiang Yunpeng was bringing Princess Mu to Tianhe Town.

They didn’t stay in Tianshui Town, partly because they were ashamed and wanted to avoid being criticized by the villagers for returning to their roots.

They found an inn in Tianhe Town and settled there. Jiang Yunpeng’s original house was no longer suitable for habitation.

He returned to pay respects to his parents. As for the matter of acknowledging his ancestry, he hadn’t thought about it yet. After all, he and his brother had suffered a lot. He wanted his family to plead for him to consider.

Now, he could be considered returning in glory, with a position equal to a prefectural governor in this remote town, surpassing even the county governor.

When he returned, he brought a hundred elite soldiers as an escort, putting on a show of strength.

Although they were unaware of the upcoming marriage between Chuan’er and the princess, Jiang Yunsheng, who was in the capital, knew about it.

Upon returning home, he and his wife exchanged bitter smiles. Now, Yuan Jiaqi’s career was flourishing, and the Qiao family was thriving, while they had nothing to do with it.

Madam Wang was infuriated by this situation in Bichun Garden. Yuan Jiaqi had quickly climbed to a high rank, and the Qiao family had become prosperous, leaving her family behind.

Her two sons, who had finally made something of themselves, had left the Qiao family. But now, her youngest son will marry a princess.

Chuan’er was only a sixth-rank official. She was sure the emperor would find a way to promote him.

However, her own son, while marrying a girl from a reputable family, did not have the same glamorous status as the princess. Moreover, his position might not be promoted anytime soon.

She was frustrated and angry, but she dared not speak out. She feared being ridiculed by others and scolded by her in-laws.

Thus, long before Zihan’s wedding, she came to Qiao Mai to remind her not to forget to send the chefs and ingredients to Bichun Garden.

This time, it was Qiao Mai’s turn to be angry. The wedding was still more than half a year away, yet she came to remind her. Was it because she knew the princess was marrying into the Qiao family and wanted to give her a hard time?

She thought to herself, “Damn, I really want to make it difficult for her when the time comes. I won’t provide any cooks or ingredients, making her lose face.

But out of respect for Old Master and Mistress Wang, she held back.

Don’t think that with great skill, one can disregard everything. There are times when one feels helpless.

In the capital, the news of the rise of the Yuan family spread widely. When

Yuan Jiaqi attended the court sessions, all officials cast envious glances at him.

They all wanted to flatter the apple in the emperor’s eyes, hoping to send their beautiful daughters to him.

However, looking into Yuan Jiaqi’s profound eyes, they all retreated. He might not hit them physically, but he could make them want to jump into the river or hang themselves with his sharp tongue.

They couldn’t send women to Yuan Jiaqi, and sending them to Chuan’er was even more impossible. After all, his legitimate wife was a princess.

The youngest daughter of the emperor and the most favored one. Who would dare to cause trouble for the emperor at this time? They must not want to live anymore!

Qiao Mai paid no attention to what they said. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, she continued her daily clinic.

When she didn’t set up her stall, the other medical halls regained their confidence. When she resumed her stall, they lost their vigor.

The Liu family was particularly troubled. Royal Physician Liu came to his wife.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to deal with the Qiao family? How are they thriving now, even more so after the princess married into their family?”

“It won’t take long. My family has had some issues recently. I believe the Qiao family will have bad luck soon.” “Send a few people to deal with the wandering physician across the street first.” “The wandering physician?”

“Woman, you don’t know anything. You stay at home all day, not knowing what’s happening outside. There’s a person who started snatching our business recently. ”

“Husband, rest assured. I’ll check it out tomorrow.”

“Find a skilled assassin. The wandering physician could fight.”

“I understand.”

Several other medical halls in the capital also wanted to hire an assassin to deal with Qiao Mai. However, every time they attempted to trace her, they lost her.

One day, Qiao Mai had just set up her stall, and a shadow flew towards her. Qiao Mai narrowed her eyes. Have they lost patience?

The action was so fast that bystanders, waiting for Qiao Mai to start her pulse diagnosis, assumed it was just people competing to be the first to get diagnosed.

Little did they know that the person had an unusual speed compared to ordinary people. Qiao Mai judged that it was an assassin immediately.

Before he could reach Qiao Mai, he fell to the ground. The bystanders hurriedly helped him up.

“Miracle doctor, please check him. What happened?”

Qiao Mai naturally used her spiritual power to kill him.

She quickly had people lift him onto a table, checked his pulse, and shook her head.

“There’s no pulse at all. He’s already dead.”

“Ah? Didn’t he die too quickly?”

“Yes, it’s possible he had an illness. He ran too fast just now, so…”

“What should we do?”

Qiao Mai told them, “Go to the court and report the case. But all of you must testify that I didn’t touch him.”

“We know.”

Soon, the government officials arrived. After routine questioning of the bystanders, they carried the body away.

Qiao Mai looked at the Mingren Medical Hall with a mysterious gleam in her eyes. It seemed they had no tolerance whatsoever.

It hadn’t been long since she started her stall. The people who came to her for medical consultations were mostly commoners. The other medical halls relied on the support of wealthy families and were not lacking in consultation fees.

However, they sent someone to assassinate her. Since stalking her didn’t work, they were shameless, weren’t they?

Let them send as many assassins as they want. She would consider it payback for these self-righteous people and see if they could learn a lesson.

She had only set up her stall for twenty days and encountered over a dozen assassins, all of whom were quietly dealt with by her without anyone knowing.

Now, those medical halls were panicking. Was the miracle doctor an immortal? No matter how they tried to kill her, she remained unharmed.

Moreover, they couldn’t even find an opportunity to expose her weaknesses. They were finding it difficult to understand. How could they fail to kill her?

Turning into late December, the weather became colder, but there were still many patients seeking her help.

However, Qiao Mai had to leave for the northern regions to collect debts. Before leaving, she announced she wouldn’t set up her stall until after the New Year.

The scouts of several medical halls conveyed this news. They all heaved a sigh of relief.

However, on that night, all the medical halls in the capital, as long as they were on the same street, had their buildings collapse by half.

Qiao Mai didn’t go all out because she considered the commoners. If she destroyed all their shops, where would the people go for medical treatment? If not for her kindness, she would ruin all the medical halls.

When she left the capital, Madam Liu’s maternal relatives finally sent someone over.

On a quiet night, Madam Liu warmly entertained her relatives at the Liu family’s guesthouse and the family of the former deputy leader..
