Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1035: Chapter 946: Official of the First Rank 7

Although Fang Keixin was small with a thin neck and a large head due to malnutrition, her eyes were very beautiful. Because she was weak, her eyes looked especially large, now filled with tears, making her appear very pitiful.

Especially considering that Fang Keixin looked thin and weak, Mrs. Tian was an adult, how heavily could this small child possibly bump into her? Yet she lay on the ground crying incessantly as if she were seriously injured, almost forcing her son and daughter-in-law to hit their daughter.

This child was so frail, and she had just recovered from a serious illness. If she were to be hit now, wouldn’t she just fall ill again? For a moment, the onlookers’ glances towards Mrs. Tian changed. This grandmother was too ruthless.

Though everyone similarly didn’t have much affection for granddaughters, it was very rare for someone to be as heartless as Mrs. Tian, who didn’t care even if her granddaughter died. Most people simply ignored their granddaughter, waiting only for the bride price when the child would get married.

There were people who couldn’t bear it and came forward to persuade Mrs. Tian not to make trouble, quickly get up, the child has admitted her mistake, so there’s no need to keep this going. Did she really want her son and daughter-in-law to beat their not yet healthy granddaughter?

The onlookers, believing they had uncovered the truth, tried to persuade Mrs. Tian, irritating her half to death. Next to them, Fang Keixin pretended to be pitiful with tears, Mrs. Dai was frightened by Fang Keixin’s earlier actions, fearing she would be accused of being unfilial for daring to make a move on an elder, retracting her tears, hugging Fang Keixin tightly, her wary and fearful gaze falling on the screaming Mrs. Tian not far away.

Mrs. Dai shared the same thoughts as the crowd, mistakenly thinking that Mrs. Tian was exploiting the issue to pressure her daughter. For a moment, her heart, used to benevolence and virtue, couldn’t help but feel a deep-seated resentment against the mother-in-law she always feared. Why couldn’t she treat her daughter better? Why push her daughter to the brink!

Only Mrs. Tian herself remained, feeling unspeakably aggrieved. Her waist truly hurt, yet everyone sided with the unfilial granddaughter, Fang Laoer hid off pretending to be a quail, Eldest Fang, Fang Laosan, and Fang Bao’er, while siding with their mother, expressed in their words that they clearly didn’t believe Mrs. Tian was truly injured.

Mrs. Tian just caught her breath, then got so angry she cried and screamed, slapping the ground and kicking her legs, cursing Fang Keixin and her mother. Her thought was, having been wronged, she should curse fiercely in return, unaware that this attitude increased everyone’s dislike towards her, only strengthening their belief in Fang Keixin’s innocence.

With no other options, the crowd could only call Murong Ting, the doctor, to take a look. Mrs. Tian had previously been bumped and felt a sharp pain in her waist, yet hadn’t been truly injured, and by now, she had already caught her breath again, so naturally nothing would show.

Murong Ting pressed against Mrs. Tian’s waist through her clothes, which was acceptable in the countryside, with less concern for the gender propriety than in big city families, and with Mrs. Tian being older, Murong Ting dared to help check.

But Mrs. Tian continued to cry, complain, and curse, no matter where Murong Ting pressed on her, she screamed like a pig being slaughtered, making Murong Ting feel particularly embarrassed, unable to reach a conclusion with an uncooperative patient.

After quite a while, finally Murong Ting could only stand up and say to Mrs. Tian: ”Ma’am, you see how you can roll and crawl now. Your waist seems quite flexible without showing pain, your waist is fine, don’t worry.”

And there was the embarrassment. Mrs. Tian screamed earth-shatteringly, yet resultingly nothing was wrong. In fact, this kind of spectacle wasn’t for the first time, so Mrs. Tian’s view of Murong Ting, the neighbor, had always been negative.

Only she looked at Murong Ting, building up a lot of emotion, that last word ’quack’ she didn’t dare to voice out loud, after all, Murong Ting was the only doctor within ten miles, the only one who gave the most economic prices, essentially giving medicine free of charge.

It could be said that Murong Ting was quite popular and his reputation was special, not to mention that if they offended him, the villagers might retort back and condemn her. Plus, her family might need Murong Ting for any illness later, so Mrs. Tian dared not offend him.

Thus, Mrs. Tian could only helplessly swallow her anger, fiercely glared at Mrs. Dai and Fang Keixin sneeringly, went back to her room indignantly, but couldn’t help shouting at Mrs. Dai before leaving: ”Stealing eggs to eat, today neither you nor your jinx daughter will eat.”

Seeing Mrs. Tian cease her struggle, the people who had come to stop the fight dispersed, everyone being very busy, smothered by heavy taxes and fees, worked like their lives depended on it, coming out under the stars and returning under the stars, nobody had thoughts on watching the commotion, they really came only to stop the fight.

Murong Shuangshuang also descended from the chicken coop, one had to admit that Fang Keixin was truly remarkable, her ability at discerning and observing expressions was first-rate, cleverly pinpointing a person’s weaknesses, no wonder she, in this era, could capture Luo Yunchuan’s heart despite coming from an ordinary background, successfully climbing to the Empress’ throne, her emotional and intellectual intelligence weren’t low.

No one cared much about the Fang Family affairs. After Murong Ting and Mrs. She returned, they started considering meal preparation, stewed chicken chunks with bamboo shoots, leaving a piece of chicken breast, sliced it into strips to simmer with bamboo mushrooms for soup, minced the pork grease and mixed it with black flour and wild vegetables to make wild vegetable dumplings, though the black flour was coarser, it was also a feast comparable to New Year, and the family was particularly satisfied with this meal.

The next day Murong Ting was drying his medicine, with Mrs. She beside him helping out, Murong Shuangshuang went out to check on her traps for any catch, luckily inside were a fat rabbit, two large bamboo rats.

Then, every day, Murong Shuangshuang’s traps would always catch at least one small animal, half a month eating meat continuously, Murong Shuangshuang became thoroughly transformed, also gaining some flesh, no longer malnourished with a thin neck, large head, big belly, her physique normalized, her skin turned from sallow to healthy bronze.

Running around every day over the hills, Murong Shuangshuang’s body got ample exercise, now she mulled over practicing Martial Arts, first she needed to train, she’d need a mentor and Martial Arts manuals.

Murong Shuangshuang’s plan was simple, she directly went, holding a Martial Arts manual, to find Murong Ting and Mrs. She, saying she encountered a very skilled martial artist old man, who said she was suitable for Martial Arts, accepted her as a disciple and even gave her a book of secrets.

This reason was truly farfetched, but Murong Shuangshuang wanted Murong Ting and Mrs. She to believe her and not think it’s odd, so she deliberately used up all the strength she accumulated over this period to affect them, directly hypnotizing Murong Ting and Mrs. She.

Thus, Murong Ting and Mrs. She easily accepted Murong Shuangshuang’s reasoning, and even when Murong Shuangshuang proposed secrecy, they insisted it’d have to be kept a secret in case her master got snatched by others.

After paving the way, Murong Shuangshuang started openly practicing Inner Strength at home, while during the day went hunting in the mountains, Murong Shuangshuang progressed rapidly in martial training, no longer needing traps, Murong Shuangshuang could use her self-made small bow and arrows, directly hunting, bringing back several catches every day.
