Ling Muzhu was brought in by servants. Seeing Feng Jin standing beside her, her eyes nearly bulged out, "You dare to play the victim? Grab her for me and break her legs..."
"Silence!"
Old Master Ling stomped his cane several times, reprimanding, "Nange is your eldest sister-in-law. How dare you disrespect her in front of me? What about behind my back? How can our Ling family have produced two such unruly descendants?"
"Grandfather, this woman tried to harm elder brother, how can you still defend her?"
Ling Muzhu became anxious and, ignoring her injured leg, hopped towards Old Master Ling.
"What harm to Han'er?" Upon hearing this, Old Master Ling's sharp gaze turned towards Feng Jin.
"I saw with my own eyes that she stuck many needles into Cousin. If that's not attempted murder, what is?"
Ling Muzhu thought her grandfather was angry and quickly embellished the scene she claimed to have witnessed.
Given her grandfather's importance of her cousin, he would surely not let Feng Jin off!
Hmph!
When grandfather drives this woman out, she will order someone to arrest her and torture her severely to vent her anger.
"How can such a malicious person be kept by Cousin's side?"
Ling Yan felt there was a chance upon hearing this, and looked at Feng Jin with malice and provocation, "Grandfather, expel her."
Feng Jin raised her eyebrows, showing no intention of defending herself.
"You know medicine?"
Old Master Feng glanced at Feng Jin, his eyes clearly showing a hint of suspicion.
It was well known that the legitimate daughter of the Feng family was sent to the countryside from birth, never attended school, and couldn't even recognize a single character.
"A little bit."
Feng Jin nodded, paused, and then added, "When I was young, I accidentally saved an old man. That old man knew medicine and taught me to identify some herbs."
Since she had decided to treat Ling Mohan, the fact that she knew medicine would be exposed sooner or later.
Rather than being passively revealed, it was better for her to take the initiative to speak out.
As for whether these people believed her explanation, that was not her concern.
"You know medicine?"
Ling Yan burst into laughter as if she had heard a funny joke, saying with contempt, "Even if you want to lie, you should find something that can't be easily exposed. I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!"
"Who doesn't know you're illiterate? And you have the nerve to say you know medicine? It's truly disgusting!" Ling Muzhu quickly echoed.
Feng Jin's expression was calm, showing no panic of being exposed.
"Since you know medicine, do you know why Han'er has not woken up?" Old Master Feng pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.
"He hasn't woken up because within his body..."
As Feng Jin spoke, she was interrupted by Ling Muzhu, "How could a village bumpkin like her know medicine? Grandfather, don't be fooled by her."
"Can Old Master Feng be trusted?" Feng Jin looked up at Old Master Feng.
"How do you propose to prove it?"
Old Master Feng observed her for a moment, seeing her calm demeanor, clearly with some probing.
Perhaps, this daughter of the Feng family had encountered some fortunate encounter.
After all, many reclusive masters preferred to live in seclusion, perhaps hidden in the countryside where this girl lived.
"Grandfather doesn't really believe her, does he..."
Ling Yan hadn't finished speaking when she was stopped by a look from Old Master Feng and reluctantly closed her mouth.
"I believe that in the past six months, Old Master Feng has also consulted many famous doctors for Ling Mohan. What did those famous doctors say? Have they made a diagnosis?"
Feng Jin's tone was light.
"The doctor said Han'er's brain was injured, and they couldn't determine when he would wake up."
Speaking of his proud eldest grandson, Old Master Feng couldn't help but sigh.
In order to help his grandson wake up sooner, he had tried everything. Now, even the plan of a 'joyful marriage' had been used.
Feng Jin had intended to say that Ling Mohan would wake up today, but after thinking for a moment, she changed her words to, "I just finished acupuncture on him. He will wake up tomorrow."
"You? You actually dare to brag!"
"Oh! You really think of yourself as a divine doctor? You're getting ahead of yourself."
Ling Yan and Ling Muzhu, upon hearing this, scoffed in unison.
A trace of joy flashed in Old Master Feng's eyes, and he asked, "Are you really sure?"
"Grandfather doesn't really believe her words, does he? A person who doesn't know a single character, she probably can't even distinguish between medicinal herbs," Ling Muzhu sneered, "If she knows medicine, I'll twist my head off and use it as a stool for her."
"Good!"
Feng Jin nodded decisively. Before Ling Muzhu could recover from her shock, she saw her continue, "If I can make Ling Mohan wake up tomorrow, I win. Otherwise, I lose!"
"However... I don't need you to cut off your head. I just need you to apologize to me."
"Agreed, on the premise that you win. If you lose, you will not only have to kowtow to me on your knees, but you will also have to get out of the Grand Tutor's manor."
Ling Muzhu, seeing her still feigning strength, readily agreed, waiting to expose her true colors tomorrow.
