The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!
Chapter 1407: 1402: Little Looks, Super FierceChapter 1407: Chapter 1402: Little Looks, Super Fierce
“Whimper…” Feng Ling stopped her crying under Mu Qianya’s gaze and crouched beside her, her voice becoming smaller and smaller before she said, “Miss, if we follow the people from the Xiao family, will they really not kill me anymore?”
Although she had only caught a fleeting glimpse, the head of the Xiao family’s appearance was truly terrifying.
His eyes were blood-red, resembling a vicious killer.
The guard by his side was also terrifying; they couldn’t even see the speed at which his sword moved, only shadows flickering before all who dropped were corpses.
There was still the blood of those bandits on their dresses!
Too horrifying!
Mu Qianya was also very anxious in her heart, but she knew how to calculate, “The head of the Xiao family cares about the woman in his arms, and if I’m not mistaken, she must be the missing Madam Xiao. The Xiao family had previously suffered a calamity, and now, there must have been some twists and turns. We cannot reveal having seen Madam Xiao; otherwise, the head of the Xiao family will surely silence us.”
Feng Ling quickly covered her mouth and muffled, “This maid saw nothing.”
“Good, once we’re at the Xiao family’s house, that seventh young master will try to persuade the head of the family, we… should just wait quietly.”
Mu Qianya stroked Feng Ling’s head, went over the situation again and again in her mind, and after assuring herself that her reasoning was correct, she calmed down.
Yet in her mind, the impression of one person was deeply etched.
“Feng Ling, the seventh young master of the Xiao family, did he call that guard ‘Following Shadow’?” Mu Qianya suddenly asked.
Feng Ling came back to her senses, thought carefully, and nodded, “It seems so! But Miss, this maid always feels that he doesn’t seem like a guard… the Xiao family, although wealthier, couldn’t possibly raise such a terrifying guard, could they?”
Mu Qianya looked down and smiled cunningly, “If the Xiao family can’t raise one, can’t they buy one? The Silver Moon Pavilion is the most famous for training assassins in the jianghu. The sword that person carried seems to come from the Silver Moon Pavilion.”
“Miss, you’re still talking about it! The last time you sneaked out to hire an assassin from the Silver Moon Pavilion, Master found out and almost broke your legs.” Feng Ling pouted, admiring her Miss’s courage; she really dared to say or do anything.
If it weren’t for her insistence on looking for herbs in the mountains at night, how could they have encountered such life-threatening events?
“If they break, they break; it’s still better than dying of boredom at home, facing the same old men I’m tired of.” Mu Qianya held her face in her hands. She was extremely well-mannered and knowledgeable, but her heart yearned for the life of an adventurer. When Father forbade her from doing business, she sneaked out of the house to gain experiences!
She was bound to get married someday, but as a sheltered lady, she was determined to do what she wanted, leaving no regrets for herself!
After traveling for a day and night, they finally returned to the Xiao family.
Su Miaoyan had already woken up but was suffering from a high fever. In the unfamiliar surroundings, seeing Xiao Yu, she cried out in fear again.
In the Splendid Pavilion’s bedroom, luxurious like a palace, Su Miaoyan curled up in the corner of the bed holding her head, “Wuwuwu, I want brother Daniu, I want brother Daniu! Don’t come any closer!”
Xiao Yu’s wheelchair stopped beside the bed, his eyes blood-red, surrounded by broken cups, plates, and bowls, “Yan’er, I’m your husband. It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, but come and take your medicine, okay?”
“I don’t want to! I don’t want the medicine, I don’t want to get hit! I can work; I can do anything. Please don’t bully me!”
Su Miaoyan kept crying, not recognizing any of the strangers before her, and seeing everyone as a bad person.
A bad person’s food could be poisonous, a bad person’s touch could lead to a beating.
That’s what brother Daniu told her.
He said, “Little Flower, don’t be afraid, I will protect you. Aside from me, everyone else is a bad person. Don’t trust them.”
“Okay.” Having woken up by the cliffside, Su Miaoyan, who had forgotten everything, only remembered his words and henceforth lived with him in such a leaky and cramped thatched cottage.
But Zhang Daniu’s meticulous care made her feel very happy.
Xiao Yu, upon hearing her words, couldn’t contain the surging anger in his body, and he gritted his teeth and roared, “I’ll kill anyone who has hit you or bullied you!”
“Don’t… don’t!”
Su Miaoyan was shaking her head desperately, not daring to look at Xiao Yu, and kept calling for brother Daniu.
When Xiao Qingyu arrived upon receiving the news, he brushed past one of Xiao Yu’s personal guards, not knowing what that guard was about to do for Xiao Yu, but he had a bad feeling about it.
Indeed, as he entered the room, it was in disarray.
Su Miaoyan was still crying, while the blood in Xiao Yu’s eyes surged like tides.
Mo Yun hurriedly arrived to tell Xiao Qingyu, “Young master, it’s not good. The family head has ordered the village beneath the cliff to be burned to the ground, leaving no grass behind!”
Xiao Qingyu walked up to Xiao Yu, “Brother, haven’t we already let them go? Why do we still need to…”
“Let them go?” Xiao Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with a fierce glint, “Look at Yan’er. How could I let them go? What have they turned her into?”
“Leave this matter to me. I’ll interrogate the Zhang siblings. Brother, you must spare the lives of the villagers. The doctor has arrived; it’s important to treat sister-in-law first.” Xiao Qingyu, seeing Su Miaoyan’s current state, felt unbearable pain in his heart as well.
He used to find Su Miaoyan delicate and childish, always bickering with him and acting coquettishly towards his brother.
But now…
The fine young lady had become a simpleton.
Xiao Qingyu could hardly imagine if it were his own beloved Miss suffering like this, what he would do.
But for the sake of the bigger picture, he still had to try his best to stop Xiao Yu, to prevent him from causing more killings.
After allowing the doctor inside, he hurried to the secret chamber where the Zhang siblings were detained. Inside, Zhang Daying was whipped so badly she was covered in blood, barely clinging to life.
The burly Zhang Daniu, his skin split and flesh gaping, would roar at anyone he saw, “Where did you take my Xiao Hua? Give her back to me!”
Xiao Qingyu stood in front of him, elegant and handsome, “She is not from your village. I want to know the details of her time there. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your lives.”
“Ptui! She’s just a cheap slattern, a filthy wench!”
Zhang Daying spat out a mouthful of blood, her face bitter and disdainful, full of contempt.
Xiao Qingyu didn’t mind having some blood on his sleeve and turned to look at Zhang Daniu, “You also refuse to speak?”
Zhang Daniu had a simple and honest face, only concerned about one thing, “My Xiao Hua, is she… is she okay?”
Xiao Qingyu’s eyebrows and eyes tightened a bit.
After he finished questioning and wanted to tell Xiao Yu, a bowl of medicine was smashed out of Xiao Yu’s room, “Don’t touch me, I want brother Daniu!”
The crying sound of Su Miaoyan rose, and Xiao Qingyu quickly rushed over to find her biting into one of Xiao Yu’s hands, looking fierce as if she was biting into some hated enemy.
