287. Chapter 287: The Means to Handle Duan Wang

However, the thought had just flooded into her mind when it was interrupted by a roar.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

The medical hall was filled with Duan Wang's anxious shouts:

"Someone! Come quickly! Imperial Physician!"

The outside of the medical hall was in a mess.

Xiao Er didn't have time to say anything and led a few white-bearded old men into the medical hall.

At the same time, several dark guards dragged the unconscious Yu Ying'er out of the medical hall.

Yu'er looked closely and saw that Yu Ying'er's hands had been chopped off, dripping with blood.

She was startled and bit her lip hard, not daring to speak.

"Let's go, there's nothing for us here." Jiang Wei glanced at the panicked crowd and took Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, preparing to leave.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded with a bad expression.

However, before she had taken two steps, Xiao Er suddenly appeared and blocked them.

"Lady Jiang, please stay. The Prince invites you to gather in the separate courtyard."

Jiang Wei frowned, obviously not very willing.

After tonight's incident, she had already seen that this Duan Wang was a gloomy, ruthless person, who would take revenge for the smallest grievance and was extremely difficult to provoke. She didn't want to have too much contact with such a person.

"Make way, make way."

Two dark guards carried the half-person-high jar out again, passing by several maids who were in a panic, and couldn't help but remind them.

But the few maids saw the jar and were even more frightened, accidentally touching the black cloth on it in their panic.

The black cloth was accidentally pulled off, revealing what was inside the jar.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and she closed her eyes subconsciously. However, she saw that it was just a jar full of water, and there was nothing she imagined inside.

The few little maids also saw what was in the jar and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that all this was just something the Prince made to scare the Princess Consort...

Jiang Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

This crazy couple...

She glanced at Xiao Er, who

She glanced at Xiao Er, who was blocking the way without giving an inch, then tugged on her mother's sleeve and sighed: "Mother, let's go."

Otherwise, this Xiao Er definitely wouldn't let them leave.

Although that Duan Wang is a pervert, he isn't so insane as to go that far; it's better to try and make contact first.

Moreover, she also wanted to verify the conjecture in her heart through him.

"Fine." Jiang Wei rubbed the top of her head, then looked at Xiao Er in front of them, her voice softening: "Then I'll trouble Commander Xiao to lead the way."

The private residence where Duan Wang stayed was not far from the medical hall.

It was only after arriving that Jiang Xiaoxiao realized that the medical hall had been acquired by Duan Wang the very second they left the wharf...

Not just that one, but several nearby medical halls had also been secretly warned by his men.

She had been wondering why a perfectly good medical hall didn't even have a doctor... No wonder everything went so smoothly; it turned out Duan Wang was pushing things along from the shadows.

Sigh, Wan Wan Jie, accept your fate; you can't outsmart a man with such deep and dark intentions.

The mother and daughter didn't stay in the courtyard for long before Yu'er and those little maids also arrived at the residence.

Su Wanwan came too.

However, she was carried in.

Several Imperial Physicians gathered in the room in a flurry, pinching her philtrum and taking her pulse, yet Su Wanwan kept her eyes tightly shut, completely unresponsive.

Duan Wang stood to the side, his face gloomy, yet he was helpless.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched from afar and couldn't help but smile.

It seems Wan Wan Jie isn't without ways to handle Duan Wang.

Suddenly, Duan Wang walked toward them.

He walked straight toward Jiang Wei, not looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao beside her.

"Lady Jiang, I hear you are a doctor?"

"I occasionally know some medical arts."

"Then I'll trouble you." He stepped aside to clear the path behind him.

Jiang Wei understood his meaning and didn't refuse, taking Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand and walking toward the room where Su Wanwan was.

As soon as she went in, those Imperial Physicians, as if they had already discussed it, withdrew from the room one after another, leaving the space to them.

Finally, they thoughtfully closed the door for them.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Candles were lit all around the room, illuminating the dim space as if it were broad daylight.

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked up and looked at Su Wanwan, who was lying there playing dead with a thick layer of foundation on her face, and couldn't help but smile: "Wan Wan Jie, wake up."

This clumsy acting, besides fooling Yu Ying'er, wouldn't fool anyone else.

Su Wanwan opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes as bright as stars.

She poked her head out to look out the window: "Has that guy left?"

"Not yet, he's still guarding outside." Jiang Wei sat at the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

After saying this, she added: "It's all his people outside; I reckon this time—"

Before she could finish, Su Wanwan rushed over in a flash, grabbed Jiang Wei's hand, and pleaded: "Sister Jiang, please help me, take me away; I don't want to stay by that guy's side."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Well, you Su Wanwan, why are you latching onto her mother?

Anyone who didn't know would think you were eloping with her mother.

Jiang Wei coldly pulled her hand away: "Don't waste your effort; I don't have that ability. You know best what kind of temper that man of yours has."

Su Wanwan pouted and said dejectedly: "What can I do? If he can't win an argument with me, he forces me. He wanted to draw his sword and cut off Ying'er's hands, and stuff her into a jar to make a human pig; of course I was scared, I could only fake fainting to get past it..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her silently: "Wan Wan Jie, at worst you can throw a tantrum, cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang yourself."

Su Wanwan paused: "Will that work?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded silently.

She felt that this Duan Wang still valued Su Wanwan quite a bit, and it wasn't like what Yu Ying'er said, that he only treated Su Wanwan as a substitute for Su Xiangzhu.

It's likely there's some misunderstanding between the two...

However, that was none of their business.

The conflict between these two was nothing more than the old, tired tropes of substitutes, white moonlight, and forced possession found in those cheesy novels...

She glanced at Su Wanwan's slightly protruding belly, plus a "running away with a bun in the oven."

Anyway, no matter how many twists and turns there are, the ending will be good, so there's no need for an NPC like her to worry.

"Alright, you're awake, our mission is complete." Jiang Wei finished her tea and stood up, ready to leave.

Su Wanwan immediately hugged her arm and wouldn't let go: "No, no, you can't leave; you should stay here and keep me company tonight."

Jiang Wei pulled her hand away again and said indifferently: "No need to worry, we are staying here tonight, we will see each other tomorrow."

"Then Wan Wan Jie, we'll come see you tomorrow morning."

Saying this, Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the door.

Unexpectedly, a figure was blocking the door, tall and large; in the night, it was quite chilling.

"Duan, Duan Wang..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's little heart trembled; he shouldn't have heard what she just said, right... (End of chapter)
