Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Shielding Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Shielding “Qinger, don’t talk nonsense before this matter is clarified.” Situ Yongjie shouted angrily. Xuexue was someone he had gone through great lengths to bring back from thousands of miles away, and he did not want her to be involved in any trouble.

“Father, you are biased. The truth is right in front of you, yet you still protect her.”

Situ Yongjie took a deep breath and said, “Now is not the time to argue. We need to find a doctor quickly to treat your aunt and see if we can save her life first.”

Qinger’s eyes were red, and with a sobbing tone, she said, “But we can’t let that little cheap person off the hook.”

“Shut your mouth! Do you even want your aunt to live?” These past few days, Qinger’s usual image of being gentle and sensible had completely crumbled in Situ Yongjie’s heart.

In a wealthy family, a child without a mother is like a loose weed, and even if they find a marital home later, without a biological mother’s care, they would be looked down upon by their husband’s family. Qinger had been deeply educated by Lady Tang about this, and moreover, considering Lady Tang’s status as a concubine, if she truly died, it would be even harder for Qinger, a concubine-born daughter, to rid herself of her status, thus, the siblings were the least willing to see Lady Tang die.

At that moment, Qinger didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Seeing that Lady Tang’s condition was critical and without immediate medical intervention she might die, Situ Yongjie immediately sent two trusted men to the War Prince’s Mansion to plead with the War Prince to send an Imperial Physician to detoxify Lady Tang.

In the imperial court, not only was the War Prince his superior, but on the Imperial Court, he held a status second only to the Emperor, and even The Emperor himself held him in awe. Situ Yongjie believed that seeking his help was definitely the right decision.

Upon hearing her father had sent for an Imperial Physician from the War Prince’s Mansion, Qinger couldn’t help but curl her lip and said, “Why bother with that monster’s mansion to summon a physician? My maternal grandfather’s family also has Imperial Physicians.”

“Shut up! If the War Prince heard this comment, even nine lives wouldn’t suffice for him to behead you,” Situ Yongjie said with a headache, feeling increasingly that this second daughter of his was utterly thoughtless.

Thinking of the terrifying War Prince, Qinger finally fell silent.

Indeed, the War Prince held significant power and influence in Moli Country. Despite his disfigurement and wearing a mask daily, his military command instilled fear across regions, deterring many neighboring countries from invading Moli Country.

There were even rumors that the current Emperor himself held him in awe!

Lady Tang’s illness had baffled Doctor Wang.

Everyone in Lady Tang’s courtyard anxiously awaited the Imperial Physician.

Two hours later, a servant guarding the gate hurriedly reported, “General, the War Prince has arrived.”

Situ Yongjie was startled; he had never dreamed that the War Prince would personally visit due to Lady Tang’s illness.

“Quickly, let’s go to the main entrance to welcome him,” Situ Yongjie stood up, intending to lead everyone outside to greet him.

Just then, a hearty laugh came from outside, “General Situ, no need for such formalities. I came uninvited, I hope you don’t mind.”

As soon as the voice faded, a tall man in black garments walked in from outside, his face covered with a fierce mask, followed by a dozen personal bodyguards, gradually walking into the Couple’s Courtyard.

“Oh! The presence of War Prince graces us; I’m too thrilled to take any offense,” General Situ hurriedly greeted him with a bow.

“General Situ, no need for formalities. I heard that your Concubine is ill and needed an Imperial Physician, so I brought one for you,” the War Prince said while glancing around the crowd.

Seeing this, Qinger quickly lowered her head and shuffled back incessantly.

Although the War Prince had a notorious reputation, he had yet to take a wife, but his mansion was filled with concubines. Believing herself to be exceptionally beautiful, Qinger feared he might take a liking to her and so kept moving back, in dread of accidentally catching the eye of this lecherous man.
