Her sudden appearance made Su Dingheng’s heart skip a beat. With a face ashen, he pointed at her and cursed, “You unfilial daughter, kneel now!”

Su Yingxue crossed her arms over her chest, her expression cold. “I won’t kneel.”

Her cold refusal prompted Wu Hongtao to jeer, “Marquis, your upbringing is truly commendable. Even when you ask her, your daughter, to kneel, she dares to openly defy you. It seems like she will trample all over you, her father, in the future!”

These words struck Su Dingheng’s face like a slap. His face turned green and white, and he didn’t dare to tell Wu Hongtao that Su Yingxue had already stepped all over him!

But the more he was mocked, the more he wanted to vent his anger on Su Yingxue. “Unfilial daughter! Since I can no longer control you, you’ve become more and more reckless. How dare you assault an official of the court! You’ve committed such a serious crime, and I will never show you any favoritism.”

Su Yingxue lowered her head and smiled faintly. “If I had truly committed such a serious crime, would you, Father, show me any favoritism?”

Since she wanted to sever ties with him in front of Wu Hongtao, why should she give him a face?

“Su Yingxue, you…”

Su Dingheng felt a throbbing pain in his chest as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood again.

“Alright, Marquis, Lord Liang has come to the Marquis’s Manor today for official business. Let’s discuss your family matters after Lord Liang and Lord Wu leave,” Liang Jin spoke up timely to diffuse the tension.

He had admired the genius doctor in the past, and now he admired Su Yingxue even more for her remarkable medical skills at such a young age.

However, as the capital governor, he had to handle the case impartially.

He looked at Su Yingxue sternly. “Miss Su, Lord Wu has filed a complaint against you at the Capital Prefecture, accusing you of assaulting an official of the court. Do you plead guilty? Do you have any defense?”

Su Yingxue glanced indifferently at the complaint in Liang Jin’s hand and said, “I plead not guilty.”

“How dare you! Su Yingxue, it was you who injured me! Many people outside the clinic witnessed it. You won’t escape the consequences!” Wu Hongtao slammed the table and stood up with an indignant expression.

He thought that by standing together with Liang Jin, he could intimidate Su Yingxue and make her beg for mercy in front of him!

But she remained so arrogant!

Truly infuriating!

Su Yingxue took out Wu Jinyan’s pulse chart from her sleeve and handed it to Liang Jin. “Lord Liang, your timing is perfect. I also want to file a complaint against Lord Wu for committing a serious crime!”

Liang Jin was confused, while Su Dingheng and Wu Hongtao were dumbfounded.

Wu Hongtao was confused.

In the blink of an eye, he had become the accused?

Liang Jin scrutinized the pulse chart, not understanding why Su Yingxue was showing it to him.

Su Yingxue continued, “Lord Liang, the signature on the chart belongs to Wu Jinyan, Lord Wu’s biological daughter. And the serious crime committed by Lord Wu is neglecting his familial duties and allowing his daughter to commit murder, almost killing his flesh and blood.”

Wu Hongtao’s heart skipped a beat. “You’re making baseless accusations! You’re slandering me!”

“If the pulse chart is baseless, then why did Lord Wu come to my clinic today causing a scene?”

“That’s because you injured my daughter and disrupted the Minister’s Estate.”

“Why did I hit Wu Ruofei?”

“Because you saved that little b*tch Wu Jinyan. She…”

As Wu Hongtao spoke, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He had been led by this wretched girl and inadvertently revealed the truth.

Liang Jin’s expression changed upon hearing this. “Lord Wu, how can you call your daughter a little wench? And it seems that you were aware of this incident.. The two young ladies in your residence had a dispute, and Miss Wu Jinyan’s injuries are indeed real?”
