The Lucky Farmgirl

Manbao and the others were startled, including Yin Huo, and all instinctively jumped back, then looked in shock at the person clutching their stomach lying in front of them.

A young man emerged from the Huiyan Pavilion with a stern face, holding the corner of his robe. He immediately tucked his robe into his belt and walked over step by step, kicking the person who had just gotten up to the ground again, then straddled them and started punching!

Several servants rushed out from the building, shouting, "Granduncle, what are you doing? Stop it..."

About to intervene, even more people rushed out of the building, directly blocking the servants. Several youths, clearly not servants, followed them out, shouting, "This is the master’s affair, how dare you lowly servants intervene?"

"How dare you hit your Granduncle? Do you have some courage?"

"Your Ma Family shouldn’t bully others."

So no one stopped him, and the young man’s fists kept pounding down...

The person being pinned down, of course, couldn’t just lie there and take it. After dodging a couple of blows without success, they forcefully used their head to push the attacker away and turned over to start fighting back.

Seeing this, the youths were furious and shouted, "Oh Ma Cong, dare you hit your Granduncle!"

The women on the upper floor were annoyed by their shouting but not intervening, and one leaned out the window to scold below, "Lu San, are you without hands or guts? You just watch someone hit your brother-in-law? Why don’t you go down? Do you want me to do it myself?"

Madam Tang pulled her away, leaned out, and said to the group of in-laws below, "What are you afraid of? Just go ahead, as long as no one is killed or crippled, I’ll back you up in the capital!"

The women and oldest sisters said so, so the youths could only roll up their sleeves and join in, quickly pulling the newly victorious Ma Cong down and surrounding him with punches and kicks.

Manbao and the others opened their mouths wide, almost dropping their candy. Realizing what was happening, they quickly closed their mouths and munched to finish chewing and swallowing, almost choking.

But at this moment, she couldn’t worry about it, busy with her mouth, while looking up at the second floor, then down at the beleaguered person.

She vaguely understood why Madam Tang had invited her.

Bai Shan and the others, having never seen such a brazen street brawl, initially wanted to intervene, but stopped when Madam Tang suddenly spoke, and collectively looked up at the domineering Mrs. Tang directing the fight.

Fighting could be intense; at first, besides the young man, the others started off soft with their punches, though angry, they were clearly holding back, but as they continued, they slowly let loose...

Manbao finished her candy and stepped in to stop them, "Alright, alright, stop fighting."

Eyes bloodshot from the fight, someone angrily replied, "Who are you?"

Only then did Madam Tang notice Manbao, and she immediately raised her voice to the people below, "Alright, let them drag him back. Tell the Ma Family if they have an issue, to come find me. I’ll be waiting for them in the capital!"

Having said so, she withdrew her head and soon came downstairs.

Only then did the youths all reach out to hold back the young man who wanted to continue.

Madam Tang led a group of sisters in front of Ma Cong, stomped on his right hand, and ground it hard, making all faces change dramatically.

This act was extremely insulting to a scholar.

Ma Cong’s battered face was full of gloom; Madam Tang leaned down condescendingly and said, "Ma Cong, the girls of the Wang Family aren’t to be bullied lightly, what you’ve done to Rui Le is only one percent of your future suffering. Just you wait."

Ma Cong looked dazed, and before he could speak, Madam Tang increased the pressure with her foot, grinding harder until he screamed, then finally removed her foot.

She calmly glanced at Manbao, giving her a hint.

Manbao paused for a moment, then immediately stuffed her candy stick into Bai Shan’s hand, rolled up her sleeves, and stepped forward, "Let me take a look, I’m a doctor..."

The Ma family’s servants wanted to come over but were still blocked.

Manbao crouched to check Ma Cong, unable to bear looking directly at him. He was too miserable, with a face not only smeared with blood but also so swollen beyond recognition.

So Manbao didn’t look at his face, instead reaching out to feel his body, asking, "Let me see, if any limbs are broken..."

Madam Tang gave the servants a glance, and they finally allowed the Ma family’s servants through.

They immediately rushed to support Ma Cong, but Manbao quickly stopped them, "No rush, no rush, don’t move him recklessly. If a bone is broken, moving him might cause a dislocation. Let me check first."

The Ma family’s servants didn’t recognize Zhou Man nor know her connection to Madam Tang, but they saw her well-dressed and adeptly checking their Young Master, so they didn’t act.

Manbao warmly introduced herself, "I’m a female doctor, don’t worry. I have experience treating such external injuries. Let’s first see if any bones are broken."

Ma Cong was also quite afraid, so he lay still and allowed Zhou Man to check.

Manbao examined him all over, while the onlookers chattered, feeling that Madam Tang and her group were abusing power.

Madam Tang didn’t explain, letting them gossip.

After checking everything, Manbao knew what was wrong and smiled at Ma Cong, "Young Master, you’re lucky. It seems these young masters went easy on you. Though it looks bad, there’s not a single internal injury; it’s all bruises. Rest a while, and you’ll be fine."

Ma Cong sighed in relief but then thought something was wrong, clutching his chest, "No, my chest hurts a lot, I can’t breathe."

"Really? But you seem full of energy, not like someone who’s out of breath," Manbao patted his shoulder, right onto a wound. She smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m indeed a doctor at the Imperial Hospital, I wouldn’t misdiagnose. When you get back, get some medicine to reduce swelling and bruising, soon you’ll be fine."

Hearing her claim to be a doctor from the Imperial Hospital, Ma Cong’s face immediately darkened.

Currently, in all of Great Jin, there’s only one female doctor who can become a doctor at the Imperial Hospital, and that’s Zhou Man!

Though others don’t know, as in-laws, how could they not? Zhou Man is close with Tang He!

Ma Cong looked at Madam Tang standing there.

Madam Tang sneered at him, "Why aren’t you leaving, what, still want to be beaten?"

She turned her head to the young man, "Fifth Younger Brother, see your brother-in-law out."

Hearing this, the young man immediately stepped forward, kicking out with another foot...

The onlookers suddenly realized, this was the brother-in-law hitting the brother-in-law.

Seeing so many noble ladies present, everyone gave Ma Cong on the ground a strange look.

What kind of outrageous deed did he commit to provoke so many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law to seek him out?

Ma Cong was finally staggeringly pulled away by the Ma family’s servants.

Only then did Manbao wipe her hands with a handkerchief and sigh to Madam Tang, "I knew my scholarly sister-in-law’s meals aren’t to be enjoyed easily."
