Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Thank you for saving my life, madam!” Duan Kaiyuan came back to his senses and thanked her.
As the old woman drove the carriage, she said, “You’re lucky to have met me here! Speaking of which, you’re not destined to die here!”
Duan Kaiyuan looked around the study and asked, “I wonder where you’re taking me now?”
The old woman said, “Just sit down. I guarantee that I’ll bring you to a safe place. I won’t harm you!”
Duan Kaiyuan thought for a moment and said, “Madam, if possible, please send me to Hele Village!”
When the old woman heard Duan Kaiyuan’s words, she immediately sized him up.
“You have friends in Hele Village?”
Duan Kaiyuan nodded and said, “Yes!”
“What a coincidence! The place I’m going is Hele Village!” With that, the old woman stopped talking.
Duan Kaiyuan thought of something and looked at the old woman in front of him in surprise as he tried to guess the old woman’s ident.i.ty.
However, the old woman didn’t speak after that. Instead, she focused on driving the carriage.
Soon, the carriage entered Hele Village and arrived at the Li family’s house from the other end.
Coincidentally, Li Xiaoqing was walking over from the Luo residence. When she saw the old woman appear at the door, she immediately cheered in surnrise-
“Mentor, you’re finally back!”
It turned out that this old woman was none other than Li Xiaoqing’s mentor, Granny Qiu.
When Granny Qiu saw Li Xiaoqing, she smiled, but attacked when Li Xiaoqing approached.
“Miss Li, be careful!” Duan Kaiyuan was shocked when he saw the old woman’s ruthless move and couldn’t help but remind her.
However, Li Xiaoqing didn’t panic.
After that, they exchanged many moves.
In the end, after Granny Qiu used her internal energy to subdue Li Xiaoqing with one move.
“Not bad. It seems that you haven’t been slacking off recently!”
Li Xiaoqing quickly stood up and smiled.
“Mentor, you were gone for several months. I thought you didn’t want me as your disciple anymore!”
When Granny Qiu heard this, she immediately laughed.
“How can I not want you as my disciple? I’m counting on you to support me in the future!”
At this moment, Duan Kaiyuan walked over in surprise and asked curiously, “Miss Li, is this your mentor?”
When Li Xiaoqing looked at Duan Kaiyuan, she thought of something.
“Young Master Duan, why are you with my mentor? Do you know that something almost happened to your sister?! If Luo Han hadn’t saved her, she would have died long ago! Luo Han blocked a poisonous arrow for her and is still unconscious.”
When Duan Kaiyuan heard this, he immediately panicked.
“Then where are Young Master Luo and my sister now?”
“Where else can they be but my brother-in-law’s house?! ” Li Xiaoqing said.
When Duan Kaiyuan heard this, he immediately walked towards the Luo family’s house anxiously.
After taking a few steps, Duan Kaiyuan walked back.
“I’ll remember your life-saving grace. It’s just that something happened, so I have to go take a look at my family and my sister’s benefactor first before repaying your kindness!”
Granny Qiu waved her hand at Duan Kaiyuan. “It’s nothing! Just treat it as me doing a good deed. Don’t worry too much about it! Hurry up and see how your sister is doing!”
Duan Kaiyuan nodded and ran towards the Luo residence.
Li Xiaoqing pulled Granny Qiu home!
It had been a long time since they last met, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.
On the other side, Duan Kaiyuan arrived at the Luo residence and was quickly brought in by the guard.
At this moment, Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang walked out of the treatment room.
Luo Cheng was surprised to see Duan Kaiyuan standing outside the door. “You rushed back so quickly after you received the news?”
“This matter is difficult to explain in a few words. I was lucky enough to meet Miss Li’s mentor and was saved by the old woman!” Duan Kaiyuan asked, “How is Young Master Luo?”
“Fortunately, the poison has been detoxed! Fortunately, the person who was poisoned was Luo Han, who has always been strong and survived the detoxification process. If Miss Duan had been poisoned, even G.o.d wouldn’t have been able to save her!” Luo Cheng said.
Luo Cheng wasn’t exaggerating.
This poison was definitely fatal to those with weak bodies.
There was an antidote for the poison on the arrowhead, but the detoxification
process was too pamtlll. A weak person couldn’t survive It at all.
Duan Kaiyuan wasn’t the kind of person who had not experienced hardships. When he heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately thought of something.
“Is the poison called ‘Beloved’?”
Luo Cheng nodded and asked, “That’s right. It’s that poison! You actually know about this poison?”
“Of course I know. Not only that, but I also guessed who wanted to attack us through this poison! I really didn’t expect a dignified prince to be so petty and ruthless!” Duan Kaiyuan said with hatred.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately remembered what the Duan siblings had said previously. Then, his expression turned serious.
“You’re talking about the fourth prince?”
“That’s right, it’s the fourth prince! Back then, the fourth prince accidentally met my cla.s.smate’s sister. Because my cla.s.smate’s sister was very beautiful, the fourth prince took a fancy to her. Unfortunately, my cla.s.smate’s sister had someone she liked and didn’t want to become the fourth prince’s concubine at all! Seeing this, the fourth prince wanted to rape my cla.s.smate’s sister, but my cla.s.smate’s sister accidentally injured the fourth prince’s head. Amidst his anger, the fourth prince took out his poison and used it on my cla.s.smate’s sister!” Duan Kaiyuan said as he clenched his fists.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately sensed the anger and sadness in Duan Kaiyuan’s heart.
Duan Kaiyuan probably liked his cla.s.smate’s sister! That woman’s sweetheart was probably Duan Kaiyuan!
“How do you know all this?” Luo Cheng asked.
“My cla.s.smate’s sister went missing for a few days. In the end, we found her in a remote ditch. Unfortunately, when we found her, she was already on her last breath! I found a doctor to treat her, but in the end, she only woke her up for a while and told us what had happened before she died!” Duan Kaiyuan said the final outcome in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately relieved.
Luo Cheng reached out to pat Duan Kaiyuan’s shoulder.
“What goes around comes around! Don’t worry, people will eventually pay the price for their crimes!”
Duan Kaiyuan nodded with red eyes.
Li Xiaoran said, “Go wash your face! After you tidy up, go and see your sister! Although Duan Sha is fine, she was still a little traumatized.. With you by her side, she will definitely feel more at ease!”
