Chapter 348 Seeking Jiang Weiyang
"Yes, it was indeed our young lady who was beaten." The housekeeper said with a distressed look on his face, and then hurriedly pulled Li Mu inside, urging as he walked: "Doctor Li, please hurry up!"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry! However, if I need to apply medicine or other treatment, it may be inconvenient for me to do it alone. Can I bring this girl to help?"
The butler looked at Li Yue who was standing beside him, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Then please come with us, young lady."
Li Yue was delighted after getting permission. She quickly jogged after them and came to Duke Meng's Mansion with them.
After entering the mansion, the housekeeper walked straight to the front hall and shouted to the people in the room: "Madam, I have invited the doctor. Can you let him take a look at the young lady?"
Mrs. Meng's voice came from the room: "Okay~ I just changed her clothes, come in!"
Hearing this, Li Mu and Li Yue walked into the room quickly. As soon as they entered the room, Li Yue saw Meng Zhiyuan lying on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, bloodless, and her eyes were closed as if she had lost consciousness. Li Yue couldn't help but feel pity and couldn't help asking, "What happened? Why did the young lady become like this..."
My dear girl, you may not understand the situation. My daughter has been weak since she was young. Although she is stubborn and never gives up, her physical condition is still there! My master whipped her hard just now, and she gritted her teeth to endure the pain. Now she finally fell asleep. Alas, looking at her pale face and the scars on her body, I, as a mother, feel so distressed...
Li Yue felt relieved after hearing what Madam Meng said.
Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward and felt Meng Zhiyuan's pulse. After a while, he frowned and said seriously, "Madam, your daughter's injury is quite serious and she needs to be taken care of for a while. I will prescribe some medicine first, and you can give it to her on time. In addition, I will come to see her every day." Madam Meng was grateful and thanked her repeatedly.
After Li Mu wrote the prescription, he gave some careful instructions and then left Duke Meng's Mansion with Li Yue.
On the way back, Li Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doctor Li, is Miss Meng's injury really that serious?" Li Mu sighed, "Alas, Miss Meng is already frail and sickly, and this time she suffered such a serious whipping. She really needs careful care. However, fortunately, her pulse is still stable. As long as she rests well, she should be able to recover." After hearing this, Li Yue couldn't help but feel full of sympathy for Meng Zhiyuan.
At night, Li Yue told Li Shang everything that happened to Meng Zhiyuan: "What! You just said that Meng Zhiyuan was whipped by her father? How is that possible?"
Li Yue nodded solemnly and said, "It is absolutely true. I followed Doctor Li and saw with my own eyes the whip marks on Miss Meng's body. They were very deep. I think Duke Meng was very ruthless!
Li Shang didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, he came to Duke Meng's mansion late at night. There was a servant guarding the door of Meng Zhiyuan's room, so he entered through the window at the back.
Meng Zhiyuan felt some pain in her wound at this moment, and couldn't help but frowned. Li Shang stroked her eyebrows and eyes. Meng Zhiyuan opened her eyes instantly because she smelled the unique sandalwood scent of Li Shang.
"It hurts, right?" Li Shang frowned and looked at Meng Zhiyuan with a look of heartache. When he first came, he had carefully examined the wound on Meng Zhiyuan's body. The scar was so deep that it seemed to be engraved into the bone marrow.
At this moment, Meng Zhiyuan finally couldn't hold back the grief in her heart anymore and burst into tears. "Li Shang, don't come to me again. We are not destined to be together in this life. You must come to find me earlier in the next life!"
Li Shang's heart was broken, but he still endured the pain and comforted her: "Don't cry. You have to take good care of yourself. If you don't want me to come again, then I won't bother you again. Don't say these words anymore."
However, Li Shang's heart was also filled with sorrow and reluctance. But as a man, he had to remain calm and not show weakness or indifference.
After Meng Zhiyuan calmed down a little, Li Shang gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and coaxed her to sleep. Looking at Meng Zhiyuan's peaceful sleeping face, Li Shang sighed silently and left quietly.
The next morning, as soon as Li Shang finished the morning court, he could not wait to go to the Marquis' Mansion with Jiang Weiyang. Along the way, he told Jiang Weiyang everything that happened between him and Meng Zhiyuan without reservation, and asked Jiang Weiyang to lend a hand to help him. The reason why he chose to ask Jiang Weiyang for help was, firstly, because Jiang Weiyang was Su Qing's man, they had known each other for a long time, and secondly, Jiang Weiyang was now highly valued by the emperor, and he could use his power to solve some difficult problems.
Another thing is that Li Shang felt that asking Su Qing for help was no longer feasible, so he changed his approach and asked Jiang Weiyang for help. There were still six days until Meng Zhiyuan and Su Jinqi got married, and he couldn't wait any longer!
"You know how to find someone. Qing'er can't help you, so how do you know I can help you?"
"If you can't help me, then no one can help me. Please help me this time!" Li Shang knelt on one knee, "I will obey your orders from now on."
Jiang Weiyang helped Li Shang up and said with a smile, "After all, we have experienced life and death together. Now that you have asked, I will naturally do my best. Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?"
Li Shang took a deep breath and said, "I want you to try to delay the marriage of Meng Zhiyuan and Su Jinqi. It would be best if you can convince the emperor to cancel their engagement."
Jiang Weiyang frowned slightly, "I'm afraid this won't be easy. After all, this is a marriage contract that the two families have already made, and the emperor's order is hard to disobey! Besides, the imperial decree has already been issued, how can we make the emperor take it back? Wouldn't that mean the emperor would go back on his word?"
Li Shang knew how difficult this was, but he had no choice. "No matter what, I can't let Meng Zhiyuan marry Su Jinqi. He doesn't deserve her at all!"
Jiang Weiyang looked at Li Shang's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. If he had been tougher and more persistent, would he have married Su Qing directly? There wouldn't have been any of these things later. "Okay, I'll do my best. But you have to be mentally prepared, this may not go so smoothly."
Li Shang nodded, "Thank you, Lord. I believe in your ability."
"Go back and wait for the news. I'll have someone tell you whether it succeeds or not."
In the next few days, Jiang Weiyang used his power and connections to start working secretly. On the one hand, he tried to persuade the emperor to change his mind, and on the other hand, he tried to create various obstacles to prevent them from getting married as scheduled.
