“Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?” Luna ordered her servant, “Teach her a lesson properly!”

The servant was about to approach when, at that moment, Lu Zhi and Mr. Manchester came out.

Lu Zhi’s expression turned ice-cold upon hearing Luna’s intention to harm Jiang Yining. He sternly said, “Is this how the Manchesters treat their guests? What did my wife do that you want to teach her a lesson?”

Mr. Manchester also spoke up, reprimanding his daughter, “Luna, what arc you doing? Didn’t I tell you not to disrespect guests?”

“Father, this woman abused Abby,” Luna complained.

The Manchesters held immense power and status, but they had few descendants. Currently, there were only two granddaughters in the entire Manchester family. One was Luna’s daughter, and the other was her brother’s daughter, with a twenty-year age gap between them. The other granddaughter was currently studying in the UK and had not yet returned.

Therefore, Abby was the sole heir at the moment. She was young and fragile, having experienced her fair share of hardships, and the family cherished her deeply. Anyone who dared to harm her would incur the wrath of the entire House of Manchester.

Mr. Manchester appeared displeased but, for the sake of Lu Zhi, asked calmly, “So, what exactly happened? Miss Jiang is here as our guest for the first time. How did she end up in a conflict with Abby?”

“She holds a grudge against me, claiming that she’s unworthy of Abby. So, when the nanny wasn’t around, she secretly used silver needles to harm her, to vent her frustration,” Luna said, preempting any response.

Jiang Yining almost burst out laughing. “I saw that Abby was ill and helped treat her voluntarily.”

Lu Zhi, firmly supporting his wife, added, “Yining is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with extraordinary skills. She has been treating my illnesses.”

With Lu Zhi’s testimony, Jiang Yining’s words gained greater credibility.

Mr. Manchester turned to Abby and asked, “Abby, tell me what happened.”

Luna comforted her daughter, saying, “Abby, be honest and don’t be afraid.”

Abby blinked her eyes and, with a clear and childlike voice, said, “Sister did save me. After she used the needles on me, I no longer felt uncomfortable.”

Luna was left speechless.

Mr. Manchester then turned to Abby’s attending physician, asking, “Dr. Max, is Abby’s condition as she claims?”

Dr. Max nodded, saying, “Miss Abby’s condition is indeed stable. I’ve heard about traditional Chinese doctors using silver needles for acupuncture, which can be very effective for treating illnesses, but I’ve never witnessed it before.”

The situation had become clear.

Mr. Manchester gave Abby a warm smile and said, “Abby, you should go rest for a while. Grandpa needs to have a few words with your mom and cousins.”

Abby obediently nodded and waved to Jiang Yining, saying, “Sister, remember to visit our home and play with me in the future.”

Jiang Yining smiled slightly, and Abby left with her nanny.

Mr. Manchester suppressed his smile and ordered, “Luna, apologize to Miss Jiang.”

Luna knew she had misunderstood Jiang Yining, but apologizing to her was a bitter pill to swallow.

However, Luna remained motionless.

Lu Zhi became angry and, holding Jiang Yining’s hand, said, “It appears that this family does not welcome us. My wife kindly tried to help Abby, and in return, she was falsely accused. We won’t stay any longer. Let’s go.”

With that, he started walking.

Jiang Yining followed his lead.

Mr. Manchester’s voice grew sterner as he commanded, “Luna, this is your last chance. Apologize!”

Seeing her father’s anger, Luna finally stepped forward and said, “I’m sorry for my overzealous concern for Abby. I hope you can forgive my impulsive behavior.”

For a proud person like Luna, making this apology was not an easy task.

Jiang Yining’s vexation subsided significantly with Luna’s apology.

Lu Zhi also halted his steps.

“Okay, I accept your apology,” Jiang Yining said, “Not just for Abby’s situation but also for your previous attitude toward me.”

She pointed out Luna’s earlier disrespectful behavior in front of Mr. Manchester.

Mr. Manchester cast a warning glance at his daughter and said, “Miss Jiang is Ah Zhi’s wife. Luna, you should treat her with respect. Otherwise, I will have to discipline you.”

“Yes, Father, I understand,” Luna nodded.

“All right, go and take care of Abby. Ah Zhi and I will continue our conversation.”

“Yes,” Luna replied, suppressing her anger, and withdrew.

Jiang Yining’s lips curled into a happy smile.

Mr. Manchester observed Jiang Yining and said, “I’ve heard from Ah Zhi that you’re a very intelligent young lady with a wide range of knowledge. I don’t know if you enjoy horseback riding, but our family will host a horse racing event tomorrow. If you’d like, you can come and join us.”

“I quite like horseback riding. If I have the time, I’ll definitely come,” Jiang Yining responded graciously. She had a favorable impression of Mr.

Manchester, who did not display the same arrogance as his daughter.

“Good, tomorrow, I’ll have someone pick you up,” Mr. Manchester replied.

“Ah Zhi, earlier I talked to you about something. I hope you’ll consider it seriously. I’m getting older, and my health may not last much longer,” Mr. Manchester directed his words to Lu Zhi, his tone sincere.

Lu Zhi nodded in response but remained silent.

Afterward, he turned to Jiang Yining and said, “It’s getting late, and you must be tired. Let’s head back.”

“Sure.”

Jiang Yining waved to Mr. Manchester and bid her farewell.

After exiting the castle and sitting in the car, Jiang Yining commented, “Your grandfather’s family is quite wealthy. Lu Zhi, I used to think you were just a rich kid, but now it seems you come from a powerful family.”

Marrying into his family meant not only wealth but also significant influence and prestige.

Lu Zhi replied in a subdued tone, “You didn’t ask me what my grandfather talked to me about.”

“I didn’t ask because I don’t want to get involved in your family’s affairs,” Jiang Yining explained. She had no desire to meddle in the issues surrounding the Lu family, aside from resolving Lin Yan’s situation.

Lu Zhi patted her head and said, “You’ve been through a lot today.”

“I haven’t been througli anything. Did you see how twisted your aunt’s face got with anger?” Jiang Yining chuckled. “By the way, Lu Zhi, when I was treating Abby earlier, I noticed that she seemed to be poisoned. It’s similar to the toxins you had accumulated in your body since birth.”

Lu Zhi was born with an illness, and when Jiang Yining examined him, she discovered he had toxins in his body from birth. However, his toxins were minimal, and they were entirely eliminated after a few medicinal baths.

At that time, she assumed that he might have previously seen an inept doctor who prescribed random medication, which left the residual toxins.

But now, she found the same toxins in Abby’s body, and it seemed far more severe. When she inserted silver needles into her body, the needles turned black.

This observation was puzzling. Lu Zhi and the Manchester family had virtually no contact. They lived in different countries and had very little connection, yet both were affected by the same type of toxin. This raised questions about its origin.

Furthermore, Abby’s condition was far more severe.

Jiang Yining thought it was best to alert Lu Zhi about this..
