Seeing Lin Dan with something in her hands, everyone showed curious expressions.

"Brother, this thing is called a wheelchair. I bought it at the Fuji Carpenter Shop. With it, I can push you out for walks." Lin Dan pushed the chair over in a flash with rare excitement in her voice.

Seeing her childlike joy, Xue Boyong also couldn't help but smile.

Madam Xue and Xue Jiming kept incessantly circling around that chair, praising it again and again, saying that the inventor of this thing was too brilliant, it was simply the salvation of the disabled.

The two guards behind Lin Dan had outstanding martial arts and keen hearing, and before they had even crossed the threshold into the courtyard, had heard Xue Jiming singing Wu Xuancao's praises through the wall. They revealed: "We heard that this wheelchair was invented by Miss Wu. It has been sold at Xuancao Hall for several months already. If, as Second Young Master said, Miss Wu really put our general's injury on her heart at all times, why didn't she bring it up at all? Our General's Manor has money and would never take advantage of Miss Wu. If you brought a chair to us, did you think we wouldn't pay for it? It can be seen that Miss Wu is busy with the affairs of the nobility and has forgotten such trivial matters."

The other guard added: "When Miss Lin went to Xuancao Hall to kneel three times, Old Madam, Madam, Second Young Master, and even us servants also went to grovel to Miss Wu and beg for forgiveness. Miss Wu magnanimously expressed that all grievances were henceforth written off and that they should never be brought up again. So why did you turn around and forbid the doctors in your clinic from selling our household a wheelchair? When we tried to buy a wheelchair, we were even berated; they said that they would sell it to anyone but our Xue Manor and told us to hurry up and get lost. It can be seen that Miss Wu pretends to be generous on the surface, but secretly holds grudges. What concern, what treatment, we dare not expect anything from her and can only hope that Miss Wu will not stab the general in the back."

After the whole wheelchair fiasco, they had become skeptical about Wu Xuancao's hypocrisy. How could they leave her to cozy up to the general? Lin Dan might have been too lazy to bother with her, but that didn't mean that they would let a scheming person have free reign in Xiaofeng Pavilion.

"Is that true?" Before Xue Jiming even had time to respond, Madam Xue's complexion had already changed.

"Of course it's true, all the bystanders on the street are witnesses. We only went to Fuji Carpenter Shop after Xuancao Hall absolutely refused to sell to us." The two guards cupped their hands.

Madam Xue shook with anger and turned to glare ferociously at Wu Xuancao. Xue Jiming subconsciously moved to block the accusatory gaze for his sweetheart, but gave her a look of disbelief.

Wu Xuancao's whole face was a deep red, her eyes evasive, and she didn't know how to justify herself at all. Back at the border, Xue Boyong didn't approve of her. He grounded Xue Jiming in the barracks and prohibited the two from having contact. Since then, she had held a grudge against this man. When she heard that Lin Dan caused him to become a paraplegic, she had even gloated for a while. How could she truly place his injury on her heart? Moreover, last time, at Xiaofeng Pavilion, she was severely scolded by Xue Boyong, so she was even more reluctant to have his best interests at heart just to be snubbed.

However, she could never say that out loud, so she could only hang her head, unable to defend herself: "I really forgot. Recently, the Su Prince's old illness has relapsed and I was ordered to go to his manor to treat it. I wanted to wait for his condition to stabilize before bringing the wheelchair over, but I didn't realize that once it started I would be busy for more than half a month."
