Chapter 864: Chapter 860: Double Vision

Su Jin didn’t expect that Young Master Zhao wanted her help to treat a condition, and it turned out to be a leg condition.

Su Jin felt a bit awkward.

After all, she was now a princess, even if she wasn’t, she was still the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei.

Treating a man’s leg can be damaging to her status.

But looking at Young Master Zhao’s naive, innocent, and expectant face, Su Jin couldn’t bear to refuse.

She could handle this, but she feared passing Xie Jingchen’s level would be difficult.

Seeing Su Jin’s hesitation, Young Master Zhao knelt down.

Seeing him kneel, a few of his playmates also followed suit and knelt.

Su Jin couldn’t endure such a scene, quickly helping Young Master Zhao up, “Stand up quickly, I’ll help your big brother treat his leg.”

Young Master Zhao immediately cheered up.

He swiftly stood up, patted the dust off his brocade robe, and was ready to lead Su Jin.

It was still early before lunch, so Su Jin went to the Zhao family with Young Master Zhao.

The Hidden Guard, seeing Su Jin’s urgency, remarked, “What about the Young Master…?”

“Just say I went to treat Mr. Zhao’s wrist,” Su Jin replied.

“…”

Watching Su Jin walk away with Young Master Zhao, the guards and the Hidden Guard exchanged glances.

The Hidden Guard sighed, “If the Young Master asks, just report as the Heir’s wife instructed.”

He feared telling the truth would lead to trouble.

This town was not big, and the Zhao family was one of the most prominent families here.

Young Master Zhao led the way, and Xingxing chatted with him.

Whatever Young Master Zhao knew, he openly shared without holding back.

After answering, he asked Xingxing, “So what brings you here?”

“We are here to find someone,” Xingxing replied.

“Does the princess have to come out to find people? Is she looking for the Emperor?” Young Master Zhao asked.

“Of course not, we are looking for someone annoying,” Xingxing replied.

“What do they look like?” Young Master Zhao inquired further.

Xingxing wasn’t sure how to describe Princess Fuqing’s appearance.

However, she carried a portrait of Princess Fuqing with her, showing it when in a good mood, and keeping it in her pocket when not.

Xingxing took out the portrait for Young Master Zhao to see.

Young Master Zhao looked at the portrait, his brows furrowing tightly.

This person looked very familiar!

At the moment, he couldn’t recall where he had seen her.

Right now, his priority was to help his big brother with his leg.

Last time he showed bandits the way to rob his own family, and countless people mocked him, his parents were furious each time they heard about it, showing him no kindness.

But now!

He brought the bandits, now a princess, back to the house.

Let’s see who dares to laugh at him now?!

Young Master Zhao walked proudly, like a rooster prepared for battle, heading to his family with his head held high.

That demeanor bore some resemblance to Young Master Su’s defiant look, giving a sense of affection.

Not only did Young Master Zhao recognize Su Jin at a glance, but so did the Zhao family’s gatekeeper servant.

The gatekeeper servants exchanged quick glances and hurriedly returned to report.

Su Jin had just reached the Zhao family’s entrance when the news of the Bandit Princess’s arrival had spread throughout.

Young Master Zhao welcomed Su Jin into the house.

The Zhao family, from the Old Master to the maids and servants, knelt on the ground in droves.

Last time, when Su Jin visited, it coincided with Old Master Zhao’s birthday; although nothing serious happened, it did ruin his mood for the celebration.

Seeing Su Jin again, Old Master Zhao trembled in fear.

Su Jin smiled and said, “Please rise.”

Old Master Zhao slightly trembled and was helped up by Old Master Zhao.

Just as he was about to ask why Su Jin honored them with a visit, Young Master Zhao happily said, “Father, Mother, I brought her back to treat big brother’s leg.”

Old Master Zhao, in his nervousness, knelt back down again after being lifted.

Young Master Zhao may not understand, but they couldn’t afford to be ignorant.

Having a princess treat Young Master Zhao’s leg could result in that broken leg being worse off.

Su Jin laughed, “Please rise.”

“Last time I came and caused trouble, Young Master Zhao got beaten and grounded. Consider this my compensation to him.”

Old Master Zhao glared at his son.

He dared to complain to the princess?!

Old Master Zhao was helped up again and quickly asked Mrs. Zhao to guide Su Jin.

Mrs. Zhao, though anxious, was also pleased, given both Young Master Zhao and Young Master Zhao were her children.

Seeing her son sitting in the wheelchair, always despondent, made her heart ache as a mother.

As long as her son could stand again, she would spare no effort, even if it meant working herself to the bone.

Inside, Young Master Zhao sat in a wheelchair, gazing out the window at the sky.

The maids were shocked by Su Jin’s visit and had forgotten to inform Young Master Zhao.

Hearing footsteps, Young Master Zhao turned and saw Su Jin enter.

Young Master Zhao was stunned.

This was his bedroom, why did his mother lead a woman in?

Not just Mrs. Zhao, but also Old Master Zhao, Old Master Zhao, Second Master Zhao, Fourth Master Zhao…

Young Master Zhao was a bit dazed, “Mother, what is this?”

Mrs. Zhao quickly spoke, “This is Princess Jin Ning, the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei. Your brother specially invited her to treat your leg.”

Towards the end, Mrs. Zhao’s voice started to waver.

How could her son have that much influence?

Especially after hearing what the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei had said, he felt wronged and complained.

It’s fortunate she was magnanimous and forgiving; Mrs. Zhao dared not imagine the consequences if they encountered someone petty.

Young Master Zhao heard this, he wanted to get up and greet Su Jin, but one leg could move while the other had no strength.

Su Jin hurriedly said, “No need for formalities.”

Young Master Zhao flushed red, at a loss.

Su Jin wasn’t one for pretense. Since she came to treat Young Master Zhao’s leg, she focused on the task.

Sitting on a stool, she asked the maids to remove Young Master Zhao’s socks and shoes, rolling up his pants.

Young Master Zhao’s leg rested on the stool.

Since his leg broke, it had been examined countless times, but never had he felt so uneasy.

Su Jin pinched his leg, asking if he could feel anything.

Young Master Zhao stared at her hands, not really processing it.

Young Master Zhao called, “Big brother?”

Young Master Zhao snapped back, ear tips blushing, “No, no sensation.”

Su Jin conducted a brief check, the situation wasn’t ideal.

She examined again, confirming the bones hadn’t set correctly and needed to be broken and reset.

She asked the Zhao family to get another doctor, “I’m on a mission and won’t stay long. Mr. Zhao’s leg needs continuous acupuncture. I’ll give the prescription to the doctor.”

The Zhao family quickly sent for a doctor.

Su Jin then asked the Hidden Guard to help break Young Master Zhao’s leg so she could reset the bones.

Su Jin didn’t have Powder for Anesthesia, but Young Master Zhao said, “I can endure it.”

“Are you sure?” Su Jin asked.

Young Master Zhao nodded.

Su Jin stood to let the Hidden Guard proceed.

Young Master Zhao’s leg, lacking sensation, didn’t hurt when broken, but afterward, the pain nearly caused him to pass out.

He broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Su Jin sat down to reset his bones.

At that moment, Xie Jingchen arrived.

A maid led him in, and he saw Su Jin with her hands feeling around someone’s leg.

Xie Jingchen’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Xingxing, seeing Xie Jingchen, quickly said, “Son-in-law.”

Su Jin turned, forced a smile, “Why are you here?”

“To watch you treat a wrist,” Xie Jingchen said through clenched teeth.

“…”

Su Jin’s eye twitched.

Great, it seems a big confrontation is coming.

Having made a prior promise and now breaking someone’s leg, she couldn’t just leave it.

With Xie Jingchen around, Su Jin felt it was impossible to properly focus on the treatment, so she said to Young Master Zhao, “Why don’t you go have a cup of tea with my husband?”

Young Master Zhao, “…???

Young Master Zhao looked fearfully at Xie Jingchen, who was much taller than him.

Xie Jingchen looked at Young Master Zhao, who stood only up to his waist.

His face grew even darker.

However, Xie Jingchen still stepped out.

Just as Xie Jingchen went out the front door, a gentle voice followed, “Well, it seems my husband didn’t sleep well last night, made a mistake seeing flowers, and couldn’t tell between legs and wrists….”
