Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2371: Chapter 2371: Turned Upside Down

The noblewoman was furious. She put down the little girl in her arms and stood up shakily, tears streaming down her face, her makeup smeared. She pointed her finger, painted with Thousand-layer Red, at the fat and thin brothers who were feasting and shouted, "You two filthy beggars, give me back my daughter’s life!"

Because their clothes were torn and tattered from maneuvering through the tunnel, and they hadn’t changed clothes in days, they looked very dirty, so the noblewoman kept calling them beggars.

The fat and thin men completely ignored her, continuing to eat and drink to their heart’s content.

The most urgent matter at present was to find the treasured sword, take it to the Elder to exchange for the antidote, and to save their lives was most important; everything else was just the clouds.

"Are you all fools? Hurry up, go and catch those two people, avenge the young miss. If they get away, I’ll chop off your heads." The noblewoman shouted in exasperation.

She had brought along maids who were too weak to even truss a chicken. Faced with two accomplished martial arts men, they didn’t dare go forward.

"You bunch of useless wretches."

The noblewoman was helpless and could only watch dumbfounded as the fat and thin men left after filling their bellies.

The Shopkeeper’s heart trembled. If the young girl died in their restaurant and the establishment suffered as a result, how would he explain it to the Owner?

The Shopkeeper said, "Madam, I’ll go get the Doctor to look at the young miss."

The noblewoman couldn’t help but wail, crying as she said, "Look for what? She’s already dead."

The Shopkeeper was so frightened his body went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

......

Xuexue took a carriage from the Qinger Building to the Drunken Sky Building. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was about to go in to eat, but she saw that the restaurant inside was noisy and bustling with voices. Curious, she asked the onlookers gathered at the entrance, "Hey! What’s happening at Drunken Sky Building, why is it so lively?"

When everyone saw it was the Princess Consort of War Prince, they surrounded her.

A few days ago, the Princess Consort of War Prince had cured all the people afflicted with the magic disease, thousands of them in total. People in the Capital were very grateful to her. The War Prince said the cure for the magical disease was developed by the Princess Consort of War Prince, and after people learned about it, they regarded Xuexue as a Divine Doctor.

Indeed, even the Imperial Physicians in the palace were at their wit’s end with the magic disease, and for the Princess Consort of War Prince to have developed an antidote - what else could she be called if not a Divine Doctor?

For this act, Xuexue was credited and The Emperor bestowed upon her plenty of gold and silver treasures, as well as a plaque inscribed with "Raising the Dead." For this, Xuexue didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She didn’t run a Medical Hall, so what use did The Emperor’s plaque have? It would have been more practical for him to send more Rare Treasures.

The common people surrounded her, babbling, "Princess Consort, it’s terrible, something big has happened!"

Xuexue asked, "What happened?"

The commoners said, "There’s been a death inside the restaurant!"

Xuexue asked, "How could someone just die like that? What happened?"

The commoners replied, "Just now, two men, one fat and one thin, with particularly violent tempers, suddenly beat a little girl to death. Her mother is crying inside right now! Oh dear, that little girl had many servants, it seems like she came from a big family, and to die just like that, what a pity."

The commoners continued, "Indeed, she’s only four or five years old!"

Xuexue felt a jolt in her heart. It appears she hadn’t been mistaken a few days ago, and the fat and thin men indeed came to the Capital.

What are they doing here? Wasn’t it said they were returning to the Heavenly Mountain Sect?

Xuexue had an ominous feeling. A few days ago, after she and Long Rui went to the County Yamen to give medicine to those afflicted with the magic disease, they returned to the War Prince’s Mansion only to find their rooms turned upside down, as if they’d been ransacked. When they asked the servants, they also said they didn’t know what happened?

Even the servants’ quarters weren’t spared. It was as if, in one day, the entire War Prince’s Mansion had been searched by someone.

At that time, Xuexue was very puzzled. The War Prince’s Mansion had such strict security, it was normally impossible for outsiders to enter. Who had the capability to silently turn the War Prince’s Mansion upside down without anyone noticing?
