Chapter 222: Breaking the Cocoon, Reborn (Part 8)
The manager was taken aback for a moment, looking at An Chuxue. He was just a secondary manager and didn’t often enter the inner courtyard, so he hadn’t seen An Chuxue before. He was still pondering her identity and how to respond when Han Jing spoke: "What are you standing there for? Are you not going to lead the way?"
"Yes, yes, Miss." With Han Jing’s command, the manager couldn’t wait for Aunt Xi and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
Everyone in the Princess Mansion knew that the person whose words held the most weight in the entire mansion was certainly the Miss.
The three had just left when Aunt Xi brought Housekeeper Wang out, only to find that they were already gone.
No matter the circumstances, the Princess Mansion must pursue this matter. Even if the injured was a servant, such a ruthless attack could not be lightly forgiven.
Thus, when Su Yaogeng heard about it, she was furious and ordered Housekeeper Wang to go to the government office to file a complaint. If they chose to swallow their anger, others would still think the Princess Mansion was easy to bully.
"Where did they go?" Aunt Xi asked curiously. It was merely a few words, and yet they were gone?
"Replying to Aunt, just now, Miss and Miss An left with Steward Li, saying they wanted to see the injured person." The maid waiting on the side quickly responded.
"What? Miss and Miss An went over?" Aunt Xi was surprised. What was going on?
She then recalled Miss saying that this Miss Chuxue was a doctor. Could it be that the two went to treat the person’s injuries?
"You go to the government office first." Aunt Xi instructed Housekeeper Wang to handle the matter, then returned to the hall to report to Su Yaogeng.
Su Yaogeng was truly having a bit of a headache today. She really didn’t expect that someone as grown as Han Siqu could cause such a disruptive mess.
And that brother of the concubine, what a thing. Arrogant enough to come to the head of her Princess Mansion. The Crown Prince hasn’t even ascended the throne yet, and the brother-in-law is already acting boastfully!
"Princess, just now Miss and Miss Chuxue went to see the injured steward. Should we go take a look?" Aunt Xi, seeing Su Yaogeng’s troubled expression, suggested.
"What? Jing’er and Xue’er went over?" Su Yaogeng was also stunned, then immediately stood up: "Let’s go and take a look."
The injured steward’s surname was Qi, and he was in charge of the Princess Mansion’s estate closest to the Capital City in the suburb. Every family with some roots in the capital had their estate in the suburb, and the daily supplies of the mansion mostly came from the estate. Steward Qi managed the estate closest to the capital, so he often sent fresh ingredients to the mansion. Today, as usual, he was driving the carriage to deliver things to the mansion, but unexpectedly, he ran into Mr. Zheng riding a horse on the street. It was unfortunate; the horse was startled, and there was no time to evade, resulting in a collision.
It wasn’t the first time he encountered minor frictions like this, but since he was from the Princess Mansion, as long as it wasn’t his own fault, the aristocratic families in the capital would give face, and small matters would just be set aside.
So he never expected that the other party wouldn’t even say a word before directly attacking.
Having worked as a steward at the Princess Mansion’s estate for so many years, he’d never encountered such an incident, so naturally, he wanted to reason with those people. In the struggle, he somehow brushed against Mr. Zheng’s sleeve. Then, even more unexpectedly, Mr. Zheng flew into a rage on the spot, instructing his servant to cut off the hand that he had touched!
