Just looking at Feng Muting's cold face made him feel intimidated.
This Feng Muting is the kind of person who dares to kick even the Crown Prince. If he offends him, he'll probably be kicked straight to the Western Paradise to meet Buddha.
It's pitiful that he's been bedridden for so long, and not only has his condition not improved, but now he has to suffer this ordeal.
He's so unlucky. Why did they have to arrest Yuan Qingshan of all times?
If he had known Feng Muting was there earlier, he would never have gone to capture him.
"Your Highness, you've arrived. Please come in," Song Renju said, lying on the stretcher.
Feng Muting gave him a cold look, and then carefully helped Su Fuliu walk inside.
"Watch out for the threshold," Feng Muting said.
Su Fuliu nodded and stepped over.
Lu Chimo was about to lead Bai Yulang inside when Bai Yulang said, "The prince can go first, but we are just doctors, so we should go behind the marquis. The marquis hasn't even gone in yet, so let's wait a bit."
Lu Chimo glanced at Bai Yulang and knew he was up to no good again.
He said nothing, but simply stood there with Bai Yulang.
As the servants carried Song Renju inside, Bai Yulang secretly flicked out two silver needles, piercing the legs of the servants carrying the stretcher. The servants cried out in pain, their hands trembled, and Song Renju was thrown off the stretcher.
"Ouch..." Song Renju fell hard to the ground, yelling in pain.
Bai Yulang immediately said, "Oh dear, have the people in the Marquis's mansion not eaten? Look what they've done to the Marquis!"
Lu Chimo smiled and took his hand, saying, "Yulang is truly both well-mannered and compassionate."
Bai Yulang said shyly, "Although it is hateful that the Marquis captured my master, he is still an old man, and if he falls like this, he will surely break."
"No, it's not that bad. He didn't fall from a great height. It will definitely hurt, but it won't break him. So Yulang, don't worry too much."
Bai Yulang nodded: "Hmm, don't worry, don't worry. Why should I worry about him? Let's go in, senior brother."
“Alright.” Lu Chimo then led him into the Marquis’s residence.
Upon arriving at the front hall, Feng Muting helped Su Fuliu sit down, while he stood aside waiting for Song Renju to enter.
Song Renju was carried in on a stretcher, groaning and moaning. When he saw Feng Muting's cold face, he immediately stopped groaning and ordered, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and serve the prince tea!"
After the maid brought the tea, Feng Muting took the tea and handed it to Su Fuliu: "Ah Liu, are you thirsty? Here's some tea."
“I’m not thirsty, Your Highness, please drink.” Su Fuliu replied.
“Alright, if A-Liu gets thirsty, you must tell me, understand?” Feng Muting said gently.
“Hmm…” Su Fuliu nodded.
Lying there, Song Renju stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, speechless with astonishment.
Is this still the same hot-tempered King Ting from before?!
Who is this person that Feng Muting would treat so well?
Feng Muting put down his teacup and glanced at Song Renju, which startled him so much that he immediately looked away.
"You've really gone to any lengths to force Doctor Lu to come here, even bringing his master here. Do you know that by doing this, you've delayed Doctor Lu's treatment of my people?"
Chapter 231 is too fierce
Song Renju quickly explained, "If I had known that Doctor Lu was treating the prince's people, I would never have invited his master here."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulang immediately jumped up and down: "You call that an invitation? Should I use the same method to 'invite' you back to our place, Lord Marquis?!"
Song Renju choked, then glared at Bai Yulang. He didn't dare to glare at Feng Muting and Su Fuliu, but he did dare to glare at Bai Yulang.
As a result, Bai Yulang immediately grabbed Lu Chimo's hand and hid behind him: "Waaah, senior brother, he's glaring at me, I'm going to gouge out his eyes and stomp on them!"
"You!" Song Renju was immediately enraged upon hearing this.
But as soon as he spoke, Lu Chimo said, "My junior brother is timid, so it's best if you don't scold him, Marquis. Otherwise, if you frighten him, I'll have to go through a lot of trouble to coax him. Coaxing him will take up time, and then I won't be able to treat the prince's people in time. If that happens, the prince will definitely be unhappy, and if the prince is unhappy, then everyone will be in trouble."
Lu Chimo's tone was so calm and even, yet it stirred up a storm in Song Renju's heart.
He understood Lu Chimo's unspoken meaning: to put it bluntly, he couldn't afford to offend them, because offending them meant offending Feng Muting.
Feng Muting looked at Su Fuliu and said gently, "Aliu, cover your ears."
Su Fuliu was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why he was doing this, he still obediently covered his ears.
Seeing that he obediently covered his ears, Feng Muting's expression changed instantly, from gentle to cold and stern.
He grabbed the teacup on the table, turned around and smashed it at Song Renju. With a crack, the teacup shattered into pieces in front of Song Renju.
Song Renju's old heart pounded with fear: "Your Highness..."
Lu Chimo stood there without moving an inch, not even blinking.
Bai Yulang, who was hiding behind him, was startled and gripped Lu Chimo's hand even tighter.
That's too fierce!
Bai Yulang thought to himself.
This Feng Muting is really too fierce. Poor, gentle and refined Su Fuliu, how could she like Feng Muting who has such a bad temper!
I just can't understand it, I really can't understand it!
Unlike his senior brother, who is so gentle!
However, to deal with this despicable Marquis Dingyuan, we need someone as fierce as Feng Muting.
Feng Muting glared fiercely at Song Renju: "You didn't know that Physician Lu was treating my people? What, are you blaming me for not announcing it to you?"
Song Renju, who was already terrified by Feng Muting, was now somewhat stunned: "No, no, I didn't mean that, Your Highness, please calm down, I will have someone bring their master out right away."
Feng Muting said coldly, "It's best if Doctor Yuan hasn't lost a single hair. Otherwise, if he's missing even a few hairs, I'll skin you alive!"
"Yes, yes." Song Renju nodded immediately.
"What is it? Hurry up and invite the Divine Physician Yuan out!" Feng Muting roared again.
Song Renju was so frightened that he almost jumped off the stretcher to fetch Yuan Qingshan: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go fetch Doctor Yuan!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't even dare to look at Feng Muting. It was pitiful that he was so old and yet he was scared out of his wits by a young kid.
At this moment, Su Fuliu asked timidly, "Your Highness...may I put my hand down?"
The moment before, Feng Muting looked like he was about to kill someone, but in an instant, he put on a gentle smile and reached out to pull down Su Fuliu's hand: "That's enough, your hand must be sore from holding it for so long, right? Let me give you a massage."
Chapter 232 is clearly about revenge.
Although Su Fuliu couldn't see the current situation, she could imagine that the front hall must be full of people.
How could he let Feng Muting massage his hands in front of so many people? Firstly, it would affect Feng Muting's imposing image in public, and secondly, he himself would be embarrassed with so many people watching.
However, what he didn't know was that Feng Muting had been standing next to him the whole time, because there was a table between the two chairs, which was a bit far for Feng Muting.
So Feng Muting simply stood right next to Su Fuliu, never leaving her side.
To outsiders, it would seem as if Su Fuliu was the master and Feng Muting was the servant.
Su Fuliu withdrew her hand: "No need, Your Highness, please attend to important matters."
"The person hasn't been delivered yet." Feng Muting watched the soft little hand withdraw, and his heart sank instantly.
Before long, Yuan Qingshan was respectfully led over by his servants.
Bai Yulang immediately ran over and helped him up: "Master, are you alright?"
Yuan Qingshan shook his head: "It's alright, he wouldn't dare to do anything to his master."
"Hmph, of course he wouldn't dare do anything to Master. He's even counting on Master to force Senior Brother here." Bai Yulang said, giving Song Renju a glare.
Song Renju looked at Feng Muting and said, "Your Highness, look, he's perfectly fine. Can you calm down now?"
"I heard from Physician Lu that he has already told you that he cannot cure your illness, but you just don't believe it, so you keep bothering him?" Feng Muting asked instead of answering.
"I...I have an illness that can't be cured. Doctor Lu is a famous doctor. I don't believe he really can't cure me, so I've asked him several times. If he had just taken another look at me, I wouldn't have kept bothering him."
Before Feng Muting could speak, Lu Chimo said, "Since you're here today, I'll show it to you, Lord Marquis. I hope you won't bother me any further."
Upon hearing that Lu Chimo had agreed to show it to him, Song Renju was overjoyed: "Good, good."
With Feng Muting here, regardless of whether Lu Chimo has any way to cure him, he can't possibly make things difficult for Lu Chimo.
Lu Chimo walked over, squatted down and took Song Renju's pulse. Then he used silver needles to prick his head a few times. Just when Song Renju thought Lu Chimo had a way to cure him, he heard Lu Chimo say, "I'm sorry, I can't."
"Then weren't you treating me by sticking a few needles into my head just now?" Song Renju asked.
"I was just trying it out, but it didn't work. So, Lord Marquis, you should find someone else who can help you."
"How can you say you can't do it? If you can't, then who in this world can?" Song Renju said anxiously.
“Although you are ill, you have survived until now, which shows that this illness will not kill you, but will just keep you in bed for the rest of your life.” Lu Chimo said calmly, then got up and walked to Yuan Qingshan’s side.
Yuan Qingshan glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Feng Muting then said, "Alright, now that we've received Doctor Yuan, let's go."
Having said that, he didn't want to linger there, so he helped Su Fuliu up and walked out first.
Bai Yulang also helped Yuan Qingshan walk outside.
Lu Chimo glanced at Song Renju and then left.
Song Renju didn't dare to stop them at all and could only watch them leave.
But just then, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
He quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes: "Ah, my eyes—"
On the way, Bai Yulang was still saying, "That Marquis of Dingyuan really got off easy."
Yuan Qingshan looked at Lu Chimo and said, "You weren't treating him just now; you were clearly taking revenge."
Chapter 233 Eliminating Future Trouble
Bai Yulang looked puzzled: "Master, what did you say?"
