Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1065 - 1066: She Would Rather Die

Meng Zhuqing, upon hearing the guard’s words, didn’t ask how her mother was or how she had been rescued by Tobanya, but instead hurried to find Gong Juechen and urged him to go to King Sheng’s mansion at once.

At this moment, Gong Juechen was playing with four children in the main courtyard with An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

Meng Zhuqing burst into the main courtyard and hurriedly said, "Gong Juechen, hurry to King Sheng’s mansion. The Commandery Princess is vomiting blood incessantly."

Gong Juechen actually quite liked Tobanya’s face, and upon hearing Meng Zhuqing say that Tobanya couldn’t stop vomiting blood, he also became a bit anxious and asked, "How could she suddenly start vomiting blood incessantly?"

An Jing was startled by Tobanya’s incessant vomiting of blood and shared the same question as Gong Juechen at this moment.

Changyi, on the other hand, still showed no expression and continued to care for the children.

The guard had followed Meng Zhuqing and, upon hearing Gong Juechen’s question, anxiously explained, "Old Lady Meng’s horse got spooked and ran about the city. The Commandery Princess tried to save Old Lady Meng and was then trampled in the abdomen by the horse, causing her to vomit blood incessantly. The doctors looked at her, and the Imperial Physician examined her as well, but they were all at a loss. That’s why we’ve come to ask for the palace doctor."

Upon hearing that even the Imperial Physician was at a loss, Gong Juechen believed the situation must be very serious. He stopped playing with the children and hurriedly followed the guard to King Sheng’s mansion.

An Jing, somewhat worried, asked Xiao Changyi to look after the children alone while she also went to King Sheng’s mansion.

And before An Jing went to King Sheng’s mansion, she called for Meng Zhuqing to go along.

His beloved was vomiting blood incessantly, and Meng Zhuqing’s anxiety was on fire, but since he couldn’t leave his post on his own initiative, and now that An Jing was asking him to go together, he said nothing more and hurriedly followed along.

It was precisely because An Jing saw how frantic Meng Zhuqing was that she asked him to go along.

When An Jing and the others arrived, Tobanya, having continued to vomit blood, was paler than paper and completely out of strength, but she still occasionally spat out a bit of blood.

Seeing Tobanya in such a state, Meng Zhuqing felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Gong Juechen wanted to step forward to examine Tobanya, but she wouldn’t let him look, and her emotions even became somewhat agitated.

"Commandery Princess..." Gong Juechen paused, not moving forward, but he didn’t back away either. Instead, he stood there, seemingly confused as he watched Tobanya.

"I would rather die than be humiliated again." Tobanya’s words, uttered in a cold tone, were extremely determined.

Back then, all she wanted was revenge. Even if he had touched her body, she didn’t mind, as if that body wasn’t hers at all. But now, having avenged the great wrong, they thought she’d let herself be humiliated again? She would rather die now!

An Jing kind of wanted to kick Gong Juechen. This man had really caused great harm! There was no woman here who truly didn’t care about her reputation, and yet he had taken advantage of someone’s vulnerable state! Now it’s come to this, the person wouldn’t even let him treat her, afraid of being humiliated once more!

Meng Zhuqing wanted to speak, to persuade Tobanya to let Gong Juechen treat her, but after opening his mouth, he still said nothing. Although he didn’t care whether Gong Juechen had touched her or not, he knew that she did.

Any woman would care, right?

What woman in this world wouldn’t care about her own reputation? She really was no exception.

Old Lady Meng had originally believed that Tobanya’s body was unclean, and now, hearing Tobanya’s words, she was even more convinced that Tobanya had been touched by Gong Juechen.

Yet, Gong Juechen wore an expression of being wronged and raised his voice, very agitated, "How many times do I have to tell you I haven’t touched you! I just have a loose mouth and like to spout nonsense—I really did not engage in any improper behavior while treating your injuries!"
