Chapter 58: I would rather have an enemy than marry the daughter of the Li family
Before he could give up the idea, he saw that the court physician of Marquis Wenyuan's mansion had arrived. However, it was not appropriate to continue to see the patient in public, so his cousin's wife Xiang kindly reminded him.

"Mrs. Li, why don't you send Miss Li San to the side room first? There are so many people here, it's not appropriate."

Madam Li looked at her cousin-in-law Xiang with gratitude, and then asked the maids to cover Li Liuqing's face with a handkerchief, and then sent her to the side room. However, Li Liuyun, who followed behind, had a very unhappy look on his face, and said something in a low voice of dissatisfaction to her cousin-in-law Xiang.

"If anything happens to my sister here today, Madam, the Wenyuan Marquisate cannot shirk responsibility."

Anyway, the Marquis Wenyuan's family has many sons. If there is any problem with his sister's marriage, then let her marry into the Marquis Wenyuan's family. It can be considered as marrying up. However, his wishful thinking had just started when he was seen through by Xiang.

When she heard this, she didn't get angry but laughed instead. After looking at Li Liuyun, she said calmly.

"Mr. Li, what you said is irrational. The hospitality and food in the mansion are all here. Everyone ate without any problems. But Miss Li San suddenly behaved like this. My Wenyuan Marquis Mansion has not blamed you Li family members for coming to celebrate the birthday despite being sick. Instead, you are here to talk about our faults. You really don't take our mansion seriously. I wonder if Mr. Li of your mansion knows what you did today?"

The Li family was not a family of high status, and their influence in the court was average.

The most important thing is that although Concubine Li gave birth to a prince and a princess, she was not favored much in the harem. She was still lacking in strength to compete with powerful marquisates like the Wenyuan Marquisate, not to mention the Xiang family who had the Shangshu Ling as their backer.

Therefore, when he heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, thinking that he was a little impulsive just now. However, seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, he couldn't give in easily at this time. In the end, he could only stiffen his neck, snorted coldly, and then left.

Looking at his leaving back, Pei Ziyao asked another question.

"Cousin, do you want me to teach him some manners?"

"No need. Today is my mother-in-law's birthday party. It's not good to make a big fuss about this. Let's just leave it at that. When the court doctor finishes seeing the patients, have someone send the Li family back home. In the future, no more invitations from the Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion will be sent over!"

Xiang said this lightly, but her words were unquestionable.

Although the volume was not loud, the noble ladies who were nearby still heard it clearly. They suddenly felt guilty, as if these words were spoken to them. So they all wished they could find a place to hide to avoid what happened today.

In the inner courtyard of the front hall, Madam Xiang from the Shangshu Mansion listened to the farce outside with her ears attentively. After everyone dispersed, she said to Madam Wang helplessly.

"Xiuqing has been spoiled by us at home. If we handle this situation like this today, won't we create enmity with the Li family?"

"What are you talking about, old lady? Everyone in Xijing City praises our Wenyuan Marquisate for being so lucky to have Xiuqing as the eldest grandson's wife. In the past two years since she got married, she has been filial to us elders and has also taken good care of the younger brothers and sisters. Besides, this Marquisate should be supported by them in the future. Now this action is to let outsiders know that our Wenyuan Marquisate is not easy to bully."

Although Old Madam Wang did not go out to see the fun, she still knew something about the situation of the Li family.

All the girls in their family wanted to marry into a rich family to bring resources for marriage alliances to their family. Therefore, even the Minister of Justice Zhao Heng, who had lost his wife and was in his early forties, and was the eldest sister of Miss Li San, was married to him as his second wife.

Therefore, Old Lady Wang felt that her granddaughter-in-law did a very good job today. Otherwise, if the Li family had targeted them and used this opportunity to force them to marry, they would have been in a passive position. So rather than getting married, Old Lady Wang would rather make enemies!
As they had all been living in Xijing City for their entire lives, Madam Xiang understood very well what Madam Wang was thinking. The two of them sat on the rosewood chair carved with a peony welcoming spring and chatted and laughed, putting the matter behind them.

Mrs. Pei, the Marquis' wife, was a little unhappy and wanted to go see what was happening outside, but she was persuaded by Madam Pei. She only said something softly.

"Let the children handle their affairs. It's not time to mobilize the elders yet. Just sit back and relax."

"Sister-in-law is really calm. No wonder she was able to raise a child as opinionated as Zi Su."

When Madam Pei heard her words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, but her face was still cold and indifferent, and she didn't continue to praise her. Madam Pei had long been accustomed to her sister-in-law's temper, so she didn't think it was a big deal. It happened that other ladies came over, so she could only go over to greet them.

This matter is like a stone thrown into the lake, which creates small ripples and no one cares about it anymore.

In the wing room.

Miss Su San's face was red and swollen. If the maids hadn't held her down, she would have scratched it again. Seeing her like this, the court doctor quickly stepped forward to feel her pulse and ask questions.

"Does the third lady have any allergies?"

"Peaches! My daughter is allergic to peaches, but she's had allergies before, but never as severe as this!"

After hearing the maid's answer, the palace doctor nodded, then took out the pills and explained.

"It's probably because the third lady drank alcohol today, so the combination of the two naturally made the allergy more severe. Remember to take this pill for seven consecutive days, and the symptoms will get better. However, the wound caused by the scratch is quite deep, so you can use the medicine after the allergy gets better. Madam Li can ask the Imperial Hospital. I heard that they have developed a scar-removing and anti-aging cream that works wonders for scars like this."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she quickly asked the maid to force her daughter to take the medicine.

Speaking of which, the medicine was really good. Not long after taking it, Li Liuqing no longer felt itchy, but the pain came back. It was so hot that it made people cry.

"Miss San, you should calm down. This wound cannot be touched by water or tears. Crying all the time will not help your recovery."

Hearing this, Li Liuqing was so scared that she stopped crying immediately. She was also afraid that if the appearance that she had always been proud of was really left with a scar, she would really regret it.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li felt very distressed.

After the court doctor packed up his medicine box, he stepped back and said.

"I still have to reply to the eldest young lady, so I won't bother you any more. Third Miss, please have a good rest. I'll take my leave."

"Doctor, take care."

Mrs. Li was quite polite, but Li Liuyun next to her was not so well-behaved. As soon as the court doctor left, he stepped forward and asked hurriedly.

"Third sister, what's going on? Why did you suddenly become allergic? Did you get infected by a peach somewhere you weren't paying attention to on the way?"

"Brother, I wouldn't even touch that thing, how could I be contaminated! It's obviously because the servants of the Marquis' Mansion didn't take good care of me. It must be some bastard who accidentally touched the peach and then touched my wine cup! I have lost all my face today, you have to take care of it for me!"

Li Liuqing was gritting her teeth in pain at the moment. She wanted to cry but couldn't because of her wounds. She felt so wronged. If she had known that she would suffer such a punishment at the banquet at Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion, she would never have come even if she was beaten to death.

However, her words sounded a little inappropriate to Mrs. Li.

Is it really a coincidence?
I have been bothering you all to vote recently. Thank you for your hard work, so I will add another chapter today. Thank you sisters～～～
