Chapter 356: Baby Ergou
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Yanran didn’t expect Su Xiaoxiao to be so rude to her.
Her relationship with Su Xiaoxiao was awkward and they didn’t get along. She knew that.
Even so, she did not expect Su Xiaoxiao to really attack her.
Wasn’t this girl afraid of her bad reputation spreading and being despised by everyone in the capital?
The daughters of the capital cared a lot about their reputation. Even if they didn’t like the other party, they couldn’t make a move easily. Otherwise, if they were known as fierce daughters, it would be difficult for them to find a good in-law in the future.
She said the name through gritted teeth. “Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? I just wanted you to save my brother. It’s fine if you didn’t save him, but why…”
A trace of coldness flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes. “Why don’t you know? Your brother courted death and harmed so many people. In the end, you still have the cheek to ask me to save him? Qin Yanran, where did you get your cheek to do so
Her words were always so direct, not giving Qin Yanran any respect.
This wasn’t the first time Qin Yanran had experienced her venomous tongue, but she was still so angry that she almost couldn’t recover.
She turned her head and looked around, trying to get everyone to notice Su Xiaoxiao’s rude behavior. Unfortunately, everyone was busy with their own things and no one paid attention to her at all.
Qin Yanran looked coldly at the chubby girl who came from the countryside and felt a strong sense of humiliation.
If not for her, she would still be the high and mighty daughter of the Protector Duke.
If not for her, she would still be the Third Prince’s fiancée.
If not for her, her grandfather would still love her as much as usual…
It was her. She had stolen everything from her!
Now, she was here to harm her and Qin Yun!
Did she have to be so ruthless?!
Her heart was too vicious!
Su Xiaoxiao ignored Qin Yanran’s emotional fluctuations and continued to
bandage the wounded.
She did not have enough herbs on hand, so she could only give the patients a simple hemostatic treatment before getting someone to send them to the medical center.
Not long after, Qin Canglan rushed over without stopping.
He was not at the racecourse today. He and the Old Marquis had brought Su Cheng to challenge the mechanism array. Su Yu had spent a lot of effort to find them.
When Qin Yanran saw Qin Canglan riding his horse over in a valiant and domineering manner, her eyes could not help but flicker.
In the past, her grandfather had protected her and Ah Yun the most. Whoever touched a strand of their hair, her grandfather would seek justice for them.
She felt wronged. “Grandfather…”
Unexpectedly, Qin Canglan did not even look at her. He got off the horse, threw the reins casually, and rushed towards Su Xiaoxiao.
“Daya!”
He stepped forward, agitated. “Are you all right? Are you hurt?”
Su Xiaoxiao was squatting on the ground and bandaging the patient’s thigh. When she heard this, she lowered her head and looked at the blood all over her body. “Oh, it’s not me. I’m not injured.”
Qin Canglan heaved a sigh of relief and asked again, “Where’s Ergou? Yu’er said that the bamboo house collapsed and he was pinned down.”
Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the east. “Over there.”
Qin Canglan followed the direction of her finger and saw Su Ergou lying on the ground and Wei Ting who was guarding Su Ergou.
Wei Ting was only wearing a thin inner robe. At this moment, half of his outer robe was spread under Su Ergou and the other half was covering him.
Su Ergou was lying down and he was sitting. Wei Ting’s uninjured hand was placed on Su Ergou’s forehead.
Qin Canglan’s eyes darkened as he quickly walked over.
He did not want to look at Wei Ting, but Wei Ting had the ability to not be drowned in the crowd. No matter how dark it was, or how many people there were, or how worried Qin Canglan was, he could not help but notice him.
Wei Ting’s face was covered in dust. There were a few abrasions on his forehead and neck. His plain white undergarment was stained with a lot of blood. It was unknown if it belonged to someone else.
The way he guarded Su Ergou, as well as Su Ergou’s imperceptible dependence on him, made Qin Canglan deeply jealous!
Qin Canglan sat down on the other side of Su Ergou and glared at Wei Ting.
“Take it away!”
Wei Ting removed his hand from Su Ergou’s forehead.
Su Ergou opened his eyes and was relieved to see that Wei Ting was still around.
The injured Ergou was also a baby that needed comfort.
Qin Canglan was a boorish man who didn’t know how to take care of others. He imitated Wei Ting’s actions and placed his big, thick bear paw on Su Ergou’s forehead.
Then, Su Ergou was knocked unconscious.
Qin Canglan was speechless.
Xiao Duye brought the imperial guards to the vicinity to eliminate the remaining a.s.sa.s.sins, while Xiao Zhonghua sent Jing Yi back to the Jing family. At this moment, the two princes were not around.
Qin Yanran wandered around Qin Yun for a while but did not attract Qin Canglan’s attention. She gritted her teeth and got the coachman to move the unconscious Qin Yun onto the carriage.
Until she left, Qin Canglan did not even look at her.
In fact, Qin Canglan did not do it on purpose.
He really did not see her and Qin Yun.
Otherwise, he would have beaten him up no matter what.
Qin Canglan cleared his throat in embarra.s.sment, “Ergou… will he be alright?”
Su Xiaoxiao came over to take a look. “One more slap and there’s nothing we can do.”
Qin Canglan was like a big stupid bear that had done something wrong. He had nowhere to put his hands and feet.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Ting, “Let me see your hand.”
Wei Ting asked, “Are they all bandaged up?” Su Xiaoxiao said, “They’re all bandaged. The rest are minor injuries.”
Only then did Wei Ting take out his injured hand.
Qin Canglan glanced at it inadvertently, and then he froze.
Wei Ting’s slender palm was pierced by a sharp knife, and blood was still dripping.
Was this kid injured?
Then he was still so calm just now as if nothing had happened.
From the looks of it, the blood on his body was all his?
He Imew that a.s.sa.s.sins had come here just now.
However, with this kid’s martial arts, he shouldn’t have been stabbed like this, right?
Su Xiaoxiao said as she bandaged Wei Ting’s wound, “There’s a big hole under the foundation. When Ergou was rescued, it triggered the mechanism. This knife should have stabbed into Ergou’s head.”
Qin Canglan choked.
He was about to mock this kid for being flashy when he suddenly couldn’t say anything.
Wei Ting was injured because of his precious grandson.
It could be seen how critical the situation was at that time.
If this blade were to really pierce into Su Ergou’s head, he would definitely die on the spot. Not even an immortal could save him.
Qin Canglan looked at Wei Ting again with a complicated look in his eyes.
In the carriage.
Xiao Zhonghua personally opened the medicine bottle and sprinkled the healing powder on Jing Yi’s badly mutilated left shoulder.
“Does it hurt?” he asked.
Jing Yi gritted his teeth. With a pale face and cold sweat, he said, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Xiao Zhonghua sighed. “You’ve never cried out in pain since you were young.” Jing Yi didn’t say anything.
“The First Prince is back.” Xiao Zhonghua continued to apply medicine for him.
JingYi frowned and said, “What a coincidence.”
Xiao Zhonghua’s gaze was cold as he said, “Yes, what a coincidence..”
