12 Family Punishmen (2/2)
Zi Yuan ran up and helped An Jinxiu to help An Yuanzhi sit on a chair to the side.
”I'll call a doctor for you.” An Jinxiu dared to kill someone, but she didn't dare to touch the wound on An Yuanzhi's knee. She said softly to An Yuanzhi, ”Let Zi Yuan help you return to your room first.”
”Second Miss.” The two women cried out. Seeing that An Jinxiu didn't care at all, they got up from the ground. One of the women said to An Jinxiu, ”It's against the family's rules to request a doctor as a private doctor.”
”So what?” An Jinxiu said, ”Why aren't you crying? Even if I break the rules, it's not up to you two to bother about me! ”
The two servants were momentarily at a loss for words.
”Let's go!” An Jinxiu supported An Yuanzhias she prepared to leave.
”Do you want to be beaten to death by Madam?” When the two wives saw that An Xianxiu and An Yuanzhi were about to leave, they hurriedly called out to the servants, ”Please wait a moment, Second Miss and Fifth Young Master!”
An Jinxiu looked at the door that was tightly shut by the servants. She was so angry that her hands, which were supporting An Yuanzhi, were trembling. Even if they were the children of a concubine, could her mother be sick and unable to get a doctor to treat her injuries?
An Yuanzhi saw that An Jinxiu was so angry that his hands were trembling. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart as he scolded, ”You dog slave!” He wanted to go up and do it.
”Yuan Zhi.” An Jinyi held An Yuanzhi back.
The two women were afraid that An Yuanzhi would rush over and beat them. Seeing that An Yuanzhi had been stopped by An Jinxiu, they even thought that An Jinxiu was afraid of the Qin family. Their faces immediately became arrogant as they said, ”Second Miss is sensible. You can't go against any rules in this house.”
An Jinxiu soothingly patted An Yuanzhi's hand and sneered, ”You're a young master from the Residence of Peace. It would be a joke if word of this got out if you made a move against two wives. I'll go find their master. Yuan Zhi, wait for me here. ”
An Yuanzhi didn't even have time to say anything before he saw An Jinxiu walk out. He hurriedly called out to her, ”Sis, it's useless for you to find Madam!”
”Whether it's useful or not, we'll find out when we go there,” An Jinxiu said as she walked out of the door that the servants spontaneously opened, ”Yuan Zhi, you shouldn't fight with these people. They're not worth it. Listen to Big Sis.”
An Yuanzhi also wanted to walk out, but when he saw the servants blocking the door, he turned around and said to the dumbstruck Zi Yuan, ”Quickly go look for my elder sister and tell her not to cause trouble!” As expected of his biological sistee, they had been a strangerfor more than ten years. But now, An Yuanzhi felt that this sister of his was going to find trouble with the Madam Qin.
Zi Yuan hurriedly ran out to chase after An Jin.
This was a good opportunity to drag Second Miss An. The slap they received just now couldn't be for nothing. Having served in the mansion for so many years, no one really dared to slap their face.
An Yuanzhi paced around the parlour anxiously, but he also knew that if he were to make a move, he'd have to poke his head into Grand Preceptor An's hands. It didn't matter if he suffered himself, but he couldn't let An Jin suffer with him. An Yuanzhi would be an awe-inspiring general in the future. He would be able to make great contributions to the court, but he was only a teenage young master at the moment. He didn't know what to do now, nor did he have the determination or decisiveness to make such a decision in the future.
When An Jinxiu had asked where An Yuanzhi was kept, she also asked for née Qin's whereabouts. She knew that née Qin was at the back garden, receiving guests in the Fragrant Garden.
After Zi Yuan caught up to An Jinxiu, she asked in fear, ”Miss, are we really going to go see Madam?”
”There's nothing to be afraid of,” An Jinxiu said. The Qin family'sreputation was the face of a good wife and mother. She wanted to see them in front of their guests. How would the Qin family resolve this matter?
