Chapter 144: Right Hand (Part 1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Bad news, Young Master Ling has gotten into an accident!”

Everyone hurriedly went outside and saw someone carrying Luo Ling in. Luo Ling’s hands were filled with fresh blood that made one’s eyes shocked, and astonished one’s hearts.

“Older Brother Ling!” Luo Tan jumped in shock. She only saw Luo Ling being carried back and even though he had tried his best to resist the pain, his complexion was very pale. Even though it was a very cold day, large drops of sweat rolled down from his forehead.

“Imperial Physician Gao,” Luo Xue Yan quickly said, “Would trouble you to take a look at Luo Ling.”

Gao Yang had a helpless expression on his face. He had initially thought that now that Luo Tan was alive and kicking, his task was completed, and did not expect that another difficult to treat person again came. Could it be that they treated him as a doctor sitting in the medical hall? Even though he thought that in his heart, he did not revealed it on his face. Gao Yang said, “Carry him to the room. I will take a look at him.”

After Luo Ling and Gao Yang entered the bed chambers, Luo Tan said angrily to the subordinate that carried Luo Ling back, “What exactly went on? Ling-er was perfectly fine. How did he get injured that seriously!”

The subordinate was almost in tears, “We received a tip-off that someone seemed to have seen the whereabouts of Young Lady Shen. Young Master Ling brought us to search for the person and someone send a note over, requesting the Young Master to come alone. Who knew it was a trap? Those people initially wanted to scheme against Young Master Qiu, but did not expect that the person who came was Young Master Ling. Young Master Ling fought with them and those people attacked and injured his right hand.” The subordinate paused and had a look of concern, “Many years ago Young Master Ling hurt his right hand during training and it later healed, but the injury today was exactly on his old wound. Young Master Ling was already not in a good condition before the battle, and when the rest of us arrived, Young Master Ling was already like that.

The matter of Luo Ling’s right hand injured before was something that Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin did not know of. When they heard this they looked at Luo Tan and asked, “Ling-er was injured before?”

Luo Tan nodded her head, “During his childhood, he had accompanied Eldest Bo to hunt and was chased by the wild beast in the mountains, and fell down the mountains and was injured by the sharp stones. The injuries were serious and at that time all the doctors said that Older Brother Ling’s hands could not be saved, but no one expected that Older Brother Ling would overcame this by himself.”

Everyone was aware of the seriousness of the incident. If Luo Ling had suffered such a serious injury in the past, then with an injury on top of another, one fear that it would not be good at all. Shen Qiu said, “Who exactly is behind scheming? Did you see clearly the opponents at all?”

The subordinate shook his head and said. “Those people’s martial arts skills were very good, and did not look like normal people. Their martial arts skills were well above Young Master Ling’s.”

“This matter is suspicious.” Shen Xin said heavily, “First it was Jiao Jiao then it is Qiu-er. This is obviously targeting our Shen family. That motherf***er! If this old one did not find this person and skin him, this old one surname is not Shen!”

Luo Tan said, “The immediate priority now is the condition of Older Brother Ling’s injury.” Luo Tan was somewhat anxious, “The injuries were that serious…”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Until after the time in which an incense would burn, Gao Yang then came out from the bed chambers and closed the doors. Everyone looked at him impatiently and Luo Tan could not wait and asked, “Doctor Gao, how is Older Brother Ling?”

Gao Yang said, “I have already put the medication on him. It is a knife wound, the injuries are very deep and there was poison on it. Even though it was not fatal and I have detoxified it, but…”

“But what?” Shen Qiu asked.

“But Young Master Luo had injured his hands many years ago, and now it had triggered the old injuries. The injuries were not light. In the future when it heals, one fear that he will not be able to carry heavy stuff with his right hand.”

Luo Tan took two steps back and looked at Gao Yang wildly, “Cannot carry heavy things… How about weapons?”

Gao Yang shook his head.

Luo Xue Yan’s hands slipped and broke the cup. Shen Xin and Shen Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.

Luo Ling was a child of a military family, so Luo Sui let him follow Shen Xin back to the capital to let him train in the Ding capital, so that in the future upon returning to the Xiao Chun city, it would be ideal for him to take over the Luo family’s army. Luo Ling has practiced martial arts since young and to become one unable to use the right hand, was like making one talented in martial arts a cripple. This was considered a big blow for Luo Ling.

“It cannot be. It cannot be!” Luo Tan went up and grabbed onto Gao Yang’s sleeves before saying in fright, “Previously when Older Brother Ling was injured, those doctors also said that Older Brother Ling would no longer be able to use his right hand, but after that, Older Brother Ling still recovered. Are not you the greatest doctor? When you saved me, those doctors also said that I could not be saved, but you were able to save me, so you will definitely be able to save my Older Brother Ling’s right hand, correct?” Luo Tan’s relationship with Luo Ling was very good and they grew up together, so naturally she was unable to accept the situation.

Gao Yang pulled his sleeves back and said patiently, “Young Lady Luo, it is not that this one is unwilling to save. It is that your esteemed Older Brother’s injuries are just too serious.” He said, “Saying something provoking to Young Lady, if one say that the person cannot be treated, then no one else under Heavens would be able to save him.”

These words almost cut off everyone’s last hope, as this meant that Luo Ling could never use his right hand to hold a sword again.

“How can this be?” Luo Xue Yan almost fainted, “How do I explain it to Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao?”

“Is Younger Biao Brother already aware of the condition of his injuries?” Shen Qiu asked.

Gao Yang nodded his head and said immediately, “Compared to Young Master Luo’s injuries, these few days, one must monitor more on Young Master Luo’s sentiments. Ordinarily for people who suffered drastic changes, they would inevitable suffer a trauma in their heart, especially since Young Master Luo is a proud person. This matter is tantamount to a catastrophic disaster for him. If no attempts are made to persuade him then one fear that it would attract unnecessary problems, and will not be conducive for the healing of his injuries.”

Upon finishing, Gao Yang picked up the medicine box and said, “This one will take a trip back to the Palace first as one need to prescribe some medicinal herbs. Upon returning, one will then come to the residence again to apply acupuncture for Young Master Luo. Currently one cannot stay too long, thus one will take one’s leave now.”

These few days Gao Yang had been staying in the Shen mansion, and indeed had not returned to the Imperial Medical Institute for a long time. Luo Xue Yang nodded her head, “Imperial Physician Gao was troubled for these few days. Qiu-er, go and send Imperial Physician Gao off.”

“I will go!” Luo Tan said and then grabbed Gao Yang’s sleeves, and hauled him out of the residence.

Gao Yang stared at the somewhat deformed sleeved which was caused by Luo Tan. Luo Tan only stopped her footsteps when they were at the residence doors. Luo Tan looked at him and hesitated before asking, “Doctor Gao, my Older Brother Ling’s right hand really cannot be saved anymore?”

Gao Yang said helplessly, “This one never lies.”

Desperation appeared on Luo Tan’s face and after a moment she said, “In that case, many thanks for helping me to cover up the matter of the residence of Prince Rui.”

“Cover up?” Gao Yang looked at her astonished, “When did this one covered up for you?”

Luo Tan looked at him flabbergasted, “Did not you said in front of Youngest GuGu and GuFu a lie for me…”

“This one only took advantage of the situation for one’s own benefit. In the future after thinking of the terms of the transaction, then one will have a discussion with Young Lady Luo.” Gao Yang ignored Luo Tan’s change of expression and looked outside, “Oh, the skies are too dark. One must step off first and will see Young Lady Luo on another day.” He cupped his hands before leaving. After calling him so many times with ‘Doctor Gao’, Gao Yang would not be happy if Luo Tan did not suffer.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard sound of teeth grinding behind him, “Leave well Doctor Gao.”

Gao Yang almost fell down.

When Gao Yang’s figure was no longer visible, Luo Tan then sighed and worriedly prepared to return back, when she saw a horse carriage drawn over. This carriage was overly extravagant and as the skies were somewhat dark, Luo Tan was unable to see clearly. She only saw that the horse carriage stopped at the doors of the Shen mansion and two persons came out of it.

Luo Tan rubbed her eyes and after determining that she was not mistaken, she screamed out with shock, “Youngest Biao Sister!”

Shen Miao was sent back by Princess Rong Xin’s personal female official and when she reached the doors, the first thing she heard was Luo Tan’s cries. Previously, one had heard from Xie Jing Xing that Luo Tan’s injuries were very serious, and Shen Miao was very much worried but upon hearing her full-hearted cries, she finally felt reassured.

Luo Tan’s cries had immediately alerted Shen Xin and entourage. Everyone came out in a hurry and was in disbelieve upon seeing Shen Miao.

Luo Xue Yan was stunned for two seconds, before stepping forward quickly grabbing Shen Miao in a hug as her warm tears flow down, “Jiao Jiao!”

Seemingly only reacting now, Shen Qiu also quickly ran over and shouted agitatedly, “Younger Sister, you have finally returned!”

Shen Xin also went forward and gave Shen Miao a glance around. As it was already late in the evening, and due to these few day’s Shen Xin’s all out searches they had made one’s heart filled with anxiety, most of the commoners would not leave home at night, thus no one passed by the Shen mansion at this moment. Shen Miao said, “Let us return to the residence before speaking. Furthermore, one must not make this public.”

Even though Shen Xin had doubts, he gave a look to Shen Qiu, which quickly went out to instruct the servants outside while everyone went into the residence first.

Upon arriving in the hall, Luo Tan asked, “Youngest Biao Sister, what is going on exactly? And this is…” She looked towards Lu Xi.

Lu Xi gave a bow to everyone. She was after all a female official by Princess Rong Xin’s side, thus her every actions followed the etiquette and did not look like someone ordinary. She said, “This servant is a female officer by Her Highness’s side. A day before, Her Princess Highness’s guards saved Young Lady Shen from the evildoers. Her Princess Highness is afraid that Young Lady Shen is unable to explain herself, thus she let this servant send Young Lady Shen back. Now that the person is has arrived, this servant should return.”

Two years ago during the lantern festival, Shen Miao was saved by Princess Rong Xin and two years later she was also rescued by Princess Rong Xin. Speaking of coincidences, this would make one think more. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had some doubts and wanted to speak more, but Shen Miao stood up and smiled to Lu Xi, “Many thanks to Lu Xi GuGu for the matters during these few days. Hope that Lu Xi GuGu would help this official’s daughter to thank Her Princess Highness for the extended help. Her Princess Highness’s lifesaving help is something that Shen Miao would keep in the heart and never dare to forget. One will definitely personally pay a visit to give thanks.”

Lu Xi quickly turn to her side to avoid Shen Miao’s bow and smiled, “One dare not deserve it. Since Young Lady is an old acquaintance of Her Princess Highness, then one do not need to stand on ceremony. This servant will go back first. May Young Lady Shen take care, tomorrow Her Princess Highness will clarify matters with the administrator of the capital.”

Shen Miao thanked again before personally sending Lu Xi off. Everyone finally could not tolerate thus Shen Qiu asked, “Younger Sister, what is going on here?”

Everyone could see from the conversation between Shen Miao and Lu Xi just now, that Shen Miao had long had her own thoughts. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan now understood Shen Miao’s personality clearly. Shen Miao was a Young Lady who had strong views, and at this moment she already had some plans.

Shen Miao smiled, “It is nothing much. That day the people who kidnaped me thought that I was implicated in another matter, and kidnapped the wrong person. Afterwards when they planned to send me away, coincidently they met up with the people from the Princess’ residence. The guards of the Princess’ residence had seen me before, and felt that there was something wrong so they rescued without any trouble. Afterwards, I told Princess Rong Xin clearly about the matter, and Her Princess Highness decided to clarify the matter for me.” For the time being she did not want to tell Shen Xin the truth of the matter, because this implicated Princess Ming An. The forces of the Ming Qi and the Qin country were in a complicated situation, and one err from Shen Xin would make it hard for him to get out. She had painstakingly managed to place the Shen family far away from all these chaotic power struggles, so how would she want to repeat the mistake of her past lifetime?

The most important thing was that this kind of excuse was what she and Xie Jing Xing have agreed upon. Even though one did not know what Xie Jing Xing would do at the end, Shen Miao believed that with Xie Jing Xing’s means and methods, Princess Ming An and the Xie brothers would be bound to suffer a big loss. Since that was being the case, it would not be good for Shen Xin to intervene.

Shen Xin frowned, “Jiao Jiao, tell Father honestly. Does this matter involve Princess Ming An or not?”

Shen Miao’s heart jumped.

Shen Xin was not a fool. They had returned to the Ding capital not long ago, and for those people to deliberately kidnap Shen Miao, this was because of personal grudges. Moreover, ever since the Shen family’s return to the Ding capital till now, the only person that they had offended was only that domineering and arrogant Princess of the Qin country. If it was the Qin people, it was not impossible for them to do such a daring and reckless thing.

Shen Miao said, “Why did Father think that? This is the land of the Ming Qi. Even if Princess Ming An had the intention to deal with me, the Crown Prince of the Qin is not a fool, and how would he allow her to stir things up?” Seeing that Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan still did not believe, Shen Miao simply raised her hands and spoke tenderly, “That day they threw me out of the horse carriage and my hands hurts because of the stumble. I am also very hungry. Mother, I want to eat something.”

When Luo Xue Yan heard this, she immediately ignored everything else and her heart began to feel anguished. On one hand she instructed the kitchens to prepare some snacks and on the other hand, instructed the maids to support Shen Miao back to the courtyard to rest.

Luo Xue Yan most likely was so anguished for Shen Miao, that she personally went to the kitchens to make soup and Shen Xin pulled Shen Qiu out with a frown, one did not know where did they went. Luo Tan and Shen Miao went back to the room together. When Luo Tan saw Shen Miao sitting on the couch, she said, “Youngest Biao Sister, you were lying just now. Actually it was that Princess Ming An who did it right?”

Shen Miao’s heart jumped and thought when did Luo Tan became that smart before asking, “Why do you say that?”

Luo Tan rubbed her own arm and gave an appearance of unable to tolerate, “The spoilt look that you gave just now made me have a layer of goosebumps. It was obvious that you were sparing no effort to be pampered with that one look, and it was a show for GuFu and GuGu. It is only because they dote on you that they let you go like this.”

Shen Miao laughed in spite of herself before sizing Luo Tan up, “I heard that you have suffered a serious injury. How is it that you have gotten out of bed and not rest more?”

Luo Tan waved her hands, “That Doctor Gao from the Palace has high medical skills that can make a dead person alive. Speaking of which…” Her gaze was shining as she looked at Shen Miao, “It was only this afternoon that I went to His Highness Prince Rui to beg for his help to save you, and you return today at night. His Highness Prince Rui really possesses remarkable abilities. This speed really exceed one’s expectation as I thought one would need to wait for a few days. So that Lu Xi GuGu is also fake?” Luo Tan sighed, “This Prince Rui of the Great Liang is really very considerate and thoughtful.”

Shen Miao, “…”

Xie Jing Xing had saved Shen Miao long before Luo Tan went to the residence of Prince Rui. When Luo Tan went over, Shen Miao had most likely already reached the Princess’ residence. It was a pity that Luo Tan really thought that Xie Jing Xing had that great of abilities. Xie Jing Xing was not an immortal, so how could he be able to save someone in a matter of moments? Shen Miao’s heart was secretly criticising but she did not correct Luo Tan’s words. She thought about something and said, “But why did one did not see Older Brother Ling?” She asked, “Did Older Brother Ling went out?”

Luo Tan’s unrestrained expressions faded in a moment. When Shen Miao saw this, she was puzzled and asked, “Why do you have such an expression?”

“Something happened to Older Brother Ling.” Luo Tan’s voice was somewhat unintelligible, “Gao Yang said that in this lifetime he will not be able to use his right hand… Go and take a look.”

*****

In the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, Xie Chang Wu was currently also very anxious.

After returning from the banquet with Xie Ding, Xie Chang Chao seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Xie Chang Chao’s shadow was not in the secret chamber and even Shen Miao was also not there. After looking over carefully, there were no signs of a fight which made Xie Chang Wu felt puzzled.

Even though it was due to Shen Xin that Shen Miao could not be sent out, but at this moment she indeed disappeared without a trace. Princess Ming An had sent people over to ask when would Shen Miao be sent out, and Xie Chang Wu could only perfunctory delay but in private, his heart was burning with anxiety.

However no matter how he searched and sent the servants out to look at the usual haunts to which Xie Chang Chao would go normally, it was like both Xie Chang Chao and Shen Miao had evaporated from the human world. There was not even a little trace left. One did not know why, but the longer the time passed, Xie Chang Wu’s heart felt more uneasy. He had tried to inquire news about the Formidable Great General Shen’s family, and there was no news about Shen Miao’s whereabouts. This made Xie Chang Wu feel comforted. At least it was not that the people who came to save Shen Miao took Xie Chang Chao away.

However as days passed, even Xie Ding was suspicious and asked why had he not seen Xie Chang Chao for an entire day. Xie Chang Wu could only say that Xie Chang Chao went out of the city for a hunt with friends, and also repeated this when Madam Fang asked. Princess Ming An also sent someone over saying that if the Xie brothers did not take action, then just hand Shen Miao over for her to handle.

Xie Chang Wu was forced to suffer in silence. As of now, not to mention Xie Chang Chao, even Shen Miao disappeared into thin air. If Princess Ming An knew of this, she would blame him for not handling the matter well, and would not speak well of the brothers in front of Fu Xiu Yi, and one fear that one would suffer more for it. It was truly a dilemma where there is no room to advance or retreat. For the first time Xie Chang Wu regretted for picking up such a hot matter.

In any case, Xie Chang Wu continued to send people out to look for Xie Chang Chao’s whereabouts. Speaking of which, it was rather ironic. A few days ago when they kidnapped Shen Miao, the Shen family was searching the entire city for Shen Miao, and now it became Xie Chang Wu’s turn to search the entire city for Xie Chang Chao’s whereabouts. He had some unhappy feeling that this was an appropriate retribution.

Xie Chang Wu naturally did not know that the brother that he was persistently seeking for, was in Xie Jing Xing’s hands.

Tie Yi followed behind the purple clad youth and said, “Xie Chang Chao’s corpse is currently in the tower prison and chilled in the ice coffin. When does Master plan to use it?”

“Let it be. There is no rush.” Xie Jing Xing said, “One must not waste such a good thing.”

He walked slowly back to the residence and when he just entered the courtyard, he saw Ji Yu Shu wearing a purple robe and had a silver mask on his face, in the middle of a chase with the white tiger ‘Jiao Jiao’ in the entire house. As he ran he was saying, “Little brat, do not recognise this Prince? Open your eyes and look carefully! Come over here to this Prince!”

Tie Yi trembled constantly. Sometimes one could not admit that Ji Yu Shu was indeed a talented individual as no matter what the place was, he could portray all types of emotions that are as ridiculous as an idiot. This kind of disguising as Xie Jing Xing to tease the tiger, one guessed that only Ji Yu Shu, this kind of person who was so bored with leisure, would only do it.

The white tiger evaded the ‘warm’ embrace of Ji Yu Shu and when he suddenly saw Xie Jing Xing and Tie Yi, it turned in the middle of her movement and headed over to Xie Jing Xing in a rush, and bit the corner of Xie Jing Xing’s robes before shaking her head.

Xie Jing Xing bent over and picked the white tiger up and looked at that ‘Xie Jing Xing’ who was left in the courtyard, and said with a smile but not a smile, “You really play very happily when I am not around.”

“Third Older Brother!” The counterfeit Xie Jing Xing took of the mask, revealing the sweaty face of Ji Yu Shu. He gasped as he waved his hands, “Third Older Brother, it was not my intention to purposely dress as you. Today a Young Lady came looking for you for help and it was Gao Yang who insisted for me to pretend to be you. But I guarantee that I acted very well, as that Young Lady did not say a second word and knelt down after seeing me and even gave me a kowtow.” Ji Yu Shu felt wronged and worried, “One do not know if this would reduce one’s lifespan.”

“Young Lady?” Xie Jing Xing raised his brows and looked at Tie Yi. Tie Yi quickly said, “In the afternoon, the Luo family’s Biao Young Lady and Gentleman Gao came over. At that time, Young Master Ji feigned your appearance and agreed to the Luo family’s Biao Young Lady’s request… Afterwards both of them left.”

Ji Yu Shu stressed, “It was Gao Yang that made me do this!”

Just as he was speaking, one heard Tie Yi saying, “Gentleman Gao has come.”

One then saw a white clad person walking over from outside. Other than Gao Yang, who could it be? However one did not know if it was an illusion or not, as Gao Yang’s clothes were not as clean and tidy as usual, and his face had some sense of haggardness. Ji Yu Shu was shocked by Luo Tan’s kowtows in the afternoon and did not notice Gao Yang’s appearance but now after seeing it, he asked in surprise, “Gao Yang, why do you look like you have gotten ten years older?”

Originally when Gao Yang and Xie Jing Xing stood together, although he was not as impressive looking as Xie Jing XIng, he was still considered a graceful and elegant gentleman but now standing beside Xie Jing Xing, he looked a little disgraceful.

“Do not mention about it.” Gao Yang said. “These few days one have been staying in the Shen mansion treating that Young Lady of the Luo family. Really treat me like a doctor?” When he spoke of it, there was some anger on his face, “I am not a doctor. I am an Imperial Physician!”

“Both also treat illnesses.” Ji Yu Shu did not bother about him and looked at Xie Jing Xing, “Fifth Shen Young Lady was found?”

Xie Jing Xing nodded his head.

Ji Yu Shu released a long sigh and said, “Scare me to death. If such a good person like Fifth Shen Young Lady ended up in other people’s scheme, one fear that I would not be able to sleep well.”

Xie Jing Xing looked coldly at him, “Oh? You are so familiar with Shen Miao?”

Ji Yu Shu instinctively felt danger and shook his head unconsciously. He only felt that Xie Jing Xing’s gaze had a deeper meaning and quickly said, “Third Older Brother and her also have some relationship. I am not worried about her but worried about you. Now that you have rescued her, my heart has calmed down a lot. One thinks that Fifth Shen Young Lady is also very grateful to you.”

“Kissing up!” Gao Yang said disdainfully.

“What does it got to do with you!” Ji Yu Shu answered back in mutual bickering and ridicule.

Gao Yang took a deep breath before putting on a serious expression and asked Xie Jing Xing, “Was it by Princess Ming An’s hands?”

In fact in the Ding capital, the only person who would have the courage to do such a thing to Shen Miao, would be no other person than Princess Ming An. If others wanted to touch Shen Miao, they would have to take into consideration the Shen family, as everyone knew that Shen Xin dotted on his daughter to the level of being subservient to her every wish. To touch Shen Miao was equalling to plucking the fur on top of the tiger’s head, and there would be no end of trouble. Only Princess Ming An, this kind of brainless female, would disregard all consequences. Not only it was bold, it was indeed very shocking.

“Not only that.” Xie Jing Xing said indifferently, “Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao also participated.”

“Are they insane?” Gao Yang was unable to hide his surprise, “Even if Princess Ming An promised them benefits, how could Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao take such risks with their lives?”

Everyone would have a steelyard in their minds when they make decisions, thus risks and benefits were rather levelled. However Xie Chang Wu’s and Xie Chang Chao’s actions were just too uneconomical for Gao Yang to understand. In order to climb up, the Xie family brothers did not care about making enemies with the Shen family, and only cared about what was in front and not about the future?

“Presumably, they had lived peaceful days for far too long and not know of how high Heavens are.” Xie Jing Xing’s smile emitted a cold air, “Consistently stupid things.”

Gao Yang and Ji Yu Shu silently agree. At this moment both of them could feel the chill that was emitting from Xie Jing Xing. After silently pitying the Xie family brothers for a moment, Gao Yang said, “Actually, Princess Ming An’s action this time not only impacted Shen Miao.”

Xie Jing Xing turned his head and frowned, “What do you mean?”

“They also intended to scheme against Shen Qiu. Today when I was in the Shen mansion, one heard that someone used Shen Miao’s situation to lay a trap for Shen Qiu, and waited for Shen Qiu to be alone before taking action against him. Those people were highly skilled in martial arts and should be the masters that were trained from the Palace. The more I thought, they were most probably from Princess Ming An’s hands.”

No only wanting to destroy Shen Miao but to also destroy Shen Qiu. Shen Miao and Shen Qiu were the only two people of the Shen family’s younger generation, thus by destroying these two people, it would be difficult for the Shen family to stage a comeback again. Moreover Shen Miao and Shen Qiu had a strong sibling relationship, if Shen Miao returned in the future and knew that Shen Qiu fell into such a predicament for her, one fear that she would blame herself for her entire life. No punishment would be more painful than living on with that pain. Princess Ming An’s methods were indeed malicious.

Xie Jing Xing’s emotions were slightly moved and he asked, “At the end what happened?”

“Shen Qiu was not taken in.” Gao Yang said.

“However… Although Shen Qiu did not fall into the trap, that Biao Young Master that is staying in the Shen mansion fell into it. Those people thought that Shen Qiu was called out but in actual fact, it was Luo Ling. Luo Ling’s martial arts skills are inferior to Shen Qiu’s, and thus did not end well in those people’s hands.”

Xie Jing Xing’s eyebrow raised, “How is he now?”

“Not very good.” Gao Yang said, “Even with my medical skills, one’s hands are still bound and unable to do anything about it. In this life, he most probably will not be able to use his right hand to hold a sword anymore.”

Xie Jing Xing was stunned and his brows gradually sank and his eyes turned cold.
