Long Sijue remained seated expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking. The look in his eyes was still terrifyingly cold.
Qi Min summoned up her remaining strength and continued loudly, “I’m telling the truth. Young master, if you don’t believe me, you can search the drawer of the nightstand in her room and see if there’s a bottle of pills inside there!”
Tang Zui glanced nervously at Long Sijue and looked furiously at Qi Min. “Qi Min, how dare you try to accuse that chick of something she didn’t do again!”
“I’m not lying! I’m telling the truth. Those are really birth control pills!” Qi Min was already close to death from the beating, and her body was covered with wounds.
Long Sijue suddenly tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand. He signaled his bodyguards to stop whipping the woman and instructed, “Lock her up. No one’s allowed to release her without my instruction!”
Long Sijue stood up and immediately left the living room. As he headed towards the elevator, Tang Zui furrowed his eyebrows. ‘That chick has been secretly taking birth control pills?”
Disgusted by the sight of Qi Min, he signaled the bodyguards to take Qi Min away immediately. “Also, get someone to clean the floor with disinfectant. What if there are some nasty bacteria from her wounds?”
When Long Sijue returned to Su Qianxun’s bedroom, his family doctor, Doctor Zhang and Zi Fan immediately bowed before him. They stepped away from the bed and made way for him.
The man walked over to the bedstead. He lowered his head and gazed at the young woman on the bed for a moment before he opened and rummaged through the nightstand drawer. As it seemed, Qi Min was telling the truth, for Long Sijue indeed found a small and white bottle full of pills.
He opened the bottle, took out a pill and handed it to the two doctors. “What kind of pill is this?”Doctor Zhang took the pill and sc.r.a.pped some powder off it. He tasted the powder before he pa.s.sed the pill to Zi Fan.
Zi Fan did the same.
“Speak!” Long Sijue fixed his eyes on the unconscious young woman who was lying in bed. Even though she was no longer in danger, her face was still awfully pale, as though it was turning into a sheet of gla.s.s.
“It’s a birth control pill,” Zi Fan said right away.
Doctor Zhang nodded as well. “It’s indeed a birth control pill.”
…..
When Su Qianxun woke up, she found herself lying in bed, and there was no one else in the room. Her throat was aching so much, and she was craving for some water. She struggled to sit up, hoping to reach the jug on the nightstand to pour herself a gla.s.s of water.
However, she had yet to recover from the incident earlier or regain her energy. The gla.s.s immediately slipped out of her grasp, fell to the floor and shattered.
Su Qianxun gasped slightly as she lay back down on the bed. There was a helpless look in her eyes. She suddenly missed her family members terribly. If they were still with her, they certainly would not let anything bad happen to her.
Someone pushed the room door open, and Su Qianxun turned to see who it was. When she realized that it was Aunt Qi, there were conflicting emotions in her eyes.
Aunt Qi, who always seemed neatly groomed, appeared particularly haggard and unkempt. Her eyes were red like those of a rabbit’s. She gazed at Su Qianxun with a look of guilt and shame on her face.
However, when she thought of her daughter, she bit the bullet and did what she had to do…
Aunt Qi dashed towards the bed and kneelt down. Su Qianxun recalled that she had just dropped a drinking gla.s.s, and there were gla.s.s shards all over the floor. She quickly got out of bed and tried to pull Aunt Qi up from the floor.
“Young Mistress Su, I know that it’s Little Min’s fault that you nearly drowned, and I know that she misbehaved. I beg you, please forgive her just this once,” Aunt Qi cried and held Su Qianxun’s hand tightly.
“Aunt Qi, I’m listening. Please get up first.” Su Qianxun’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the blood on the floor.
“Young Mistress Su, I’m begging you. Have mercy on my daughter for my sake. After all, I have been looking after you all this while. Little Min is the only family member I have left. I beg you, please forgive her!”
Aunt Qi started to kowtow to Su Qianxun. Every time she knocked her forehead on the floor, Su Qianxun could hear a loud thump. The gla.s.s shards on the floor had cut into Aunt Qi’s palms and forehead, but she did not seem to mind at all.
Su Qianxun felt bad for her as well. Despite Qi Min’s terrible att.i.tude towards her, Su Qianxun knew that the young woman’s mother, Aunt Qi had been the only person who treated her kindly ever since she moved into Jin Garden.
“Young Mistress Su, Little Min nearly killed you. An eye for an eye. I’m her mother, so I’ll bear the consequences!”
Aunt Qi suddenly picked up a large shard of gla.s.s from the floor. She slit her wrist with great force, and blood instantly gushed out from the wound.
