The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 307 Lang Jiu hates it most when people say she's no good.

Seeing someone committing evil right under his nose, Lang Jiuchuan's face darkened. Tang Bobin's broken leg was retribution for his own recklessness, but that didn't mean others could openly harm him.

Lang Jiuchuan watched as the bone-setting doctor used a special technique to forcibly break Tang Bobin's foot bone. Even if the bone was set, he would be lame in the future, and once his leg was lame, he would have no future.

Tang Bobin was a candidate for the imperial examinations, but he became lame. What was the point of taking the examinations again? As for becoming the heir apparent, that was the end of his chances.

Lang Jiuchuan glanced at Tang Bohong intentionally or unintentionally, and seeing that his pupils were constricted and his eyes were shifty and unfocused, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

The traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, startled by the sudden shout, turned pale with fright. He turned to look at the speaker and, seeing a young girl who was not even as old as his daughter, said with a dark face, "When I, Li the Traumatic Bone Setter, am setting my bones, why is someone disturbing me? If this causes me to use the wrong technique and set the bones incorrectly, resulting in them not healing properly, who will be responsible?"

He released his grip and said, "If you can't set the bone, then find someone else skilled, lest you ruin the reputation of the Li family."

He made a move to get up and leave, but Tang Bohong quickly stepped forward and said, "Doctor Li, everyone knows that your Li family is a family of traditional bone-setting doctors. The young girl is just being naive, please don't take offense. Sister-in-law, this..."

Madam Zheng was stunned and looked at Lang Jiuchuan. What had she just said?
Lady Bo was also stunned. When she saw Tang Bobin faint from the pain, his face was even paler than his wife's. She was dumbfounded. What did this girl just say? Was it a broken bone or a set bone?
She came from a respectable family and had managed the household affairs for many years, interacting with various wealthy families. She had heard countless stories of the inner workings of the household and the underworld. She immediately thought of a possibility, and a chill ran down her spine, her face turning ashen.

"Ms. Zheng, who is she?"

Madam Zheng snapped out of her daze and looked at Lang Jiuchuan, asking, "Little Master, what do you mean?"

Little Master?
Upon hearing these three words, Tang Bohong's expression changed instantly, but seeing Lang Jiuchuan's slender and frail appearance, he calmed down and frowned.

Lang Jiuchuan stepped forward and unceremoniously shoved aside the seemingly composed but actually limping Li. The man was tall and strong, weighing as much as both of them, but with her push, he stumbled and almost fell.

Before he could react, he saw the girl with the short-lived look touch Tang Bobin's leg bone, her eyes filled with panic, and she swallowed hard.

Lang Jiuchuan carefully felt Tang Bobin's leg bone with both hands, and then said to Madam Bo and the others, "Report to the authorities and say that someone is plotting to harm your son and trying to break his leg."

what?
Lady Bo stood up abruptly. Seeing Lang Jiuchuan's cold and gloomy face, she immediately looked at Li, who was stumbling. Seeing his evasive and guilty eyes, she felt a chill in her heart and said coldly, "Someone, go and invite the Lord. Doctor Zhao, go and take a look at the Second Master's leg."

She didn't mention reporting to the authorities, but looked at Tang Bohong and said, "Eldest son, you sit here with Doctor Li and wait."

This is to prevent them from leaving.

Li, who was stumbling, panicked: "What do you mean? The Marquis's mansion can't wrong people like this. Our Li family has been practicing traditional bone-setting medicine for generations. We have cured countless people. You, you little girl, don't pretend to know what you're talking about. Don't talk nonsense and wrong an innocent person."

Tang Bohong said, "Mother, I know what to do. Someone, please ask Doctor Li to leave."

At this moment, Madam Zheng spoke up, her voice cold: "Brother, there's no need to invite him down. Let's wait until Doctor Zhao has examined him before we talk. If we've wronged him, we'll apologize."

Tang Bohong's heart sank.

Lang Jiuchuan snorted. She hated it when people said she was incompetent or pretended to know what she didn't. Whether she was capable or not, she would tell herself. She glared coldly at Li Dieguai: "The family's traditional techniques are indeed good. They can set broken bones without any abnormalities, but whether they will heal well afterward is another matter. If they don't heal well, you can only blame the fall for being too hard, right? You've done this quite a few times, haven't you?"

This person's eyebrows are thick and bushy in the front half, but sparse and thin like a rat's tail in the back half. His eyes are shifty and vacant, which shows that he is a wicked person and a rat.

Doctors save lives and heal the wounded. Although he is a doctor specializing in bone-setting, he can still heal the wounded and save lives, so he can naturally be called a doctor. However, the energy in his body is half black and half white. Since the energy is impure, his merits will not be apparent. It is likely that he sets bones for people in his daily life, and his actions are a mixture of good and bad. Otherwise, as a doctor, it is impossible that he has no merits at all. Perhaps his merits have been used to offset the evil he has done.

Li, who was stumbling, blushed and said, "You, you're making false accusations!"

"You're panicking." Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "You have a mole on your temple, which means you're unfaithful to your wife. You've been keeping it a secret from your wife at home, having a mistress outside and fathering a precious illegitimate child. Do you really think no one will find out?"

Li, who stumbled and fell: "!"

He was so frightened he could barely breathe, staring at Lang Jiuchuan with terrified eyes. How could she have known? The child had only been born three days ago!
His expression, betraying his shock, was completely undisguised. Everyone present understood perfectly: Lang Jiuchuan was right. Her statement that this person intended to break Tang Bobin's leg was not just a random guess!
Lady Bo looked at Tang Bohong with increasingly scrutinizing eyes. This doctor was recommended by her, who said he was an excellent doctor.

Tang Bohong panicked, his voice sharp but weak as he said, "The Li family's ancestral bone-setting techniques are famous, how could they..." He kicked Li, the bone-setting doctor, and said, "Tell me, did you do this on purpose to charge more for your consultation? I've heard that some bone-setting doctors deliberately break perfectly good bones to repeatedly cheat patients out of their fees! You'd better tell the truth, or I'll send your whole family to work in the mines!"

No one present was a fool. At first glance, it seemed like an attempt to make excuses and evade responsibility, but wasn't it also a threat to the other party?
Lady Bo felt a chill run down her spine and looked at her family physician: "Doctor Zhao, how is he?"

Dr. Zhao said, "I feel that it's set, but I don't specialize in bone injuries, so I'm not entirely sure if it was broken."

Li, who was stumbling, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No one can see that so easily."

Lang Jiuchuan stepped forward and gently touched Tang Bobin, who had already fainted, and she woke up again, screaming sharply as she reached out to hug her leg: "It hurts so much, my leg hurts so much!"

She pressed down on his leg, pointed to a dent in his shinbone, and said, "Doctor, feel it again. Is there anything wrong with the bone? What about the gap under the skin?"

Following her directions, Dr. Zhao touched the bone, even using both hands. His expression quickly changed, and he said, "There is a fractured bone, and it's been set a little crooked. If this continues, even if the bone heals properly, you won't be able to walk properly."

Everyone's face turned pale.

Finished!

Li, who was staggering, looked terrified. Before he could even try to explain, Tang Bohong kicked him in the chest again: "You bastard, what grudge do you have against my second brother that you would do such a wicked thing?"

puff.

Li, who was kicked in the chest, felt a sharp pain in his chest cavity, his head tilted to the side, and he fainted.

Lang Jiuchuan chuckled. The people inside the mansion were indeed putting on a good show.
