Chapter 1970: Chapter 1970: Treated with Disdain (2)
The Imperial Hospital’s physicians did prescribe medicine, but it was ineffective.
However, Yang Ruxin could cure it; it wasn’t just a rumor, as those who had the same illness were all cured.
Wang Zhengzheng was a noblewoman, certainly far more esteemed than someone like Jiao Feng. Her great-grandfather was a Commandery Prince, her grandmother was a County Mistress, and she was the distinguished elder daughter of the Wang Family. Thus, upon learning she was also ill, Yang Ruxin should have immediately taken the initiative to visit and treat her, but...
Originally, she could have entered the palace today to watch the competition, but because of the rash, she dared not enter the palace. To be precise, she wasn’t allowed to enter.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and in her frustration, she couldn’t resist intercepting Yang Ruxin’s carriage.
However, after waiting together until evening, no one came, and at that moment, the poison in her body acted up again. She was so uncomfortable that she didn’t even have the strength to cry.
Having struggled through the bout of poison, Wang Zhengzheng felt even more furious. Yang Ruxin actually dared to ignore her!
Years ago, County Mistress Anning had married into the Xun Family in Jiangnan, but later, over a decade ago, she moved to Beijing. Her daughter, Xu Mengying, then married into the Wang Family of Haijin City. After giving birth to Wang Zhengzheng, she was taken to the palace. Although the Wang Family also had a residence in Beijing, Wang Zhengzheng lived with her grandmother, County Mistress Anning, whenever she was outside the palace.
The old County Mistress doted on this granddaughter excessively; to speak frankly, she spoiled her.
Originally, when Wang Zhengzheng fell ill, the old County Mistress was very angry and personally sought out Lord Jiang to demand severe punishment. Later, upon hearing that Yang Ruxin could cure the sickness, she thought of bringing people to visit.
However, Wang Zhengzheng said that she had a grudge against Yang Ruxin because she released snakes to scare her in the Imperial Garden. She required an apology, and this time she spread the word: as long as Yang Ruxin sincerely came to treat her, she’d forgive her.
It must be said, Wang Zhengzheng’s thinking was truly out of the ordinary.
And now County Mistress Anning was over sixty years old, having had a smooth life from birth to present. Everyone treated her with great respect, and even the Emperor called her "cousin," so there was no shortage of people trying to curry favor.
But after Yang Ruxin arrived, she hadn’t even paid a visit. Of course, in her eyes, a fifth-rank general wasn’t worth noticing.
However, when the time came, she might not even see you, but failing to extend an invitation would be your fault.
So, Wang Zhengzheng’s idea was to have Yang Ruxin come and bow her head, and the old County Mistress Anning agreed as well.
But no one expected that after the Wang Family sent the message, there was no reaction from the Gu Family, and Wang Zhengzheng even went personally to stop the carriage, yet the other party didn’t come.
This...
This was too much disrespect for her, a County Mistress.
"Outrageous." County Mistress Anning slammed the table, "Who does this Yang Ruxin think they are? How dare they disregard this County Mistress?"
Wang Zhengzheng’s eyes instantly gleamed with a proud light.
However, her daughter-in-law Meng Shuang, who was attending by the side, curled her lips slightly before quickly stepping forward to pour a cup of tea for the old madam: "Mother-in-law, but that Yang Ruxin is actually a Third-rank Madam Ruyi." Even if you are a County Mistress, if you put aside the Royal Princess status, your rank isn’t as high as hers.
County Mistress Anning’s brow furrowed slightly, her expression momentarily awkward, having forgotten about that.
After Meng Shuang’s reminder, she bowed her head and said nothing. This mother-in-law was quite prideful, always holding high airs. Though people feigned respect outwardly, they were actually very resentful inside; she just wasn’t aware of it.
