When Qin Ranran no longer had the strength to resist King Xiang, King Xiang snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Qin Ranran stared blankly at the King Xiang turning around and slamming the door. After taking a deep breath, she finally closed her eyes. Cold sweat had already soaked her entire back. The sweat on her face mixed with the blood from her forehead that had been hit and dripped onto the ground. Qin Ranran didn't even have the strength to raise her hand to wipe it off.

Not long after, the door that had been slammed shut was opened again. Two little girls hurried in behind the sound of messy footsteps. Shuang'er ran in front and asked anxiously, "Miss, are you okay?"

The King of Xiang looked so scary before he left, and he made such a big noise inside. She was frightened just by hearing Qin Ranran's screams outside. She really thought that Qin Ranran had been killed by the King of Xiang inside. Now she saw Qin Ranran lying on the ground with her body still moving up and down, and she felt relieved.

Shuang'er grabbed the maid who rushed in with her and stopped her from rushing in again, and said, "Xiaoya, go get a basin of hot water, and then go get a doctor."

Xiaoya stumbled as she was pulled, frowning and saying, "Sister Shuang'er..."

"Go quickly!"

"All right."

After Xiaoya left, Shuang'er helped Qin Ranran onto the bed and asked anxiously, "Miss? Miss? Miss, are you okay?"

Qin Ranran opened her eyes with difficulty, and kept mumbling something. Shuang'er moved closer to listen and finally heard what Qin Ranran was saying, "Daddy... I want to find daddy..." Qin Ranran was like a child who had suffered a great injustice at this moment. The first thing she thought of was to find her father who doted on her before she got married.

Shuang'er felt bad when she saw Qin Ranran like this, tears welling up in her eyes: "Miss, please bear with it for a while. When your injury is healed, you can go back to find the Duke."

Qin Ranran closed her eyes and said nothing. She didn't have the strength to speak anymore. The conversation with Shuang'er just now had consumed all her energy, so she just lay on the bed and nodded slightly as a response.

Shuang'er cleaned up the remains on the ground and said, "Miss, I'll go see if the doctor has arrived."

As soon as she returned to the outer room, Xiaoya ran in with a basin of hot water, followed by a doctor carrying a box on his back. The two almost bumped into each other. Xiaoya screamed "Ouch", quickly stopped, and raised the basin above her head.

Shuang'er didn't know what to do with Xiaoya for a moment. In the end, she frowned and said helplessly, "Xiaoya, why are you still so reckless? What if the water spills on the young lady?"

Xiaoya shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue. "I'm used to running, and I can't change it for the time being. I will be careful in front of the young lady. And the young lady is so seriously injured, I want to bring a doctor back as soon as possible."

Shuang'er could only shake her head: "Go quickly, doctor, my young lady is in your care."

Xiaoya had already started walking into the inner room, Qin Ranran's injuries on her mind. She casually said to Shuang'er, "Yes, Sister Shuang'er, I understand."

As soon as the beaded curtain was lifted, Xiaoya unconsciously became cautious and looked around carefully before walking in. She put the basin aside and said, "Miss, the hot water is here. I'll help you wipe it first and then let the doctor come in." As she spoke, she was about to wring out the cloth.

Xiaoya felt at a loss as to where to start when looking at the bruises on Qin Ranran's body. She didn't know how deep the hatred and resentment between King Xiang and her was that he would be so cruel to his wife.

The moment the cloth touched the wound on her forehead, Qin Ranran couldn't help but gasp. Xiaoya hurriedly blew on it. After that, she didn't dare to use too much force to wipe Qin Ranran's wound, and she had to blow on it from time to time, for fear of hurting Qin Ranran again. By the time she had finished wiping Qin Ranran's entire body, the water in the basin had also turned red.

After the doctor examined her, he asked Shuang'er to go with him to the clinic to get medicine. Qin Ranran had a serious obsession with cleanliness before, so Xiaoya thought that she would wipe Qin Ranran's whole body after the doctor examined her. But she didn't expect that as soon as she picked up the handkerchief, she heard——

"Get out." Qin Ranran's voice was very low, her breathing was unstable and she was a little breathless, but her tone was unquestionable.

Xiaoya pursed her lips and put down the things in her hand: "Then I will withdraw first. If you need anything later, please call me and I will be waiting outside."

Qin Ranran stopped talking, and Xiaoya had no choice but to walk out. There were too many things in this huge palace that she couldn't help. Although Qin Ranran was the daughter of Duke Qin and the current mistress of the palace, so what? She watched Qin Ranran transform from the smiling little girl she used to be after getting married to the broken doll lying on the bed.

It’s better to stay away from royal affairs. Qin Ranran is afraid that she will be trapped in this palace for the rest of her life.

It was three days later that Qin Ranran was able to get out of bed again. As soon as she was able to get out of bed, she took her maid back to Duke Qin's Mansion.

Three days ago, she had completely recognized the true face of King Xiang, and she was afraid that Murong Yue's death was definitely related to King Xiang.

She didn't want to be like Murong Yue, who was bullied by King Xiang all the time, and in the end was left with nothing and even gave her last life to King Xiang.

Her main purpose of returning to the Duke of Qin's Mansion this time was to find her father and ask him to make the decision for her to divorce King Xiang!

As soon as Qin Ranran saw Duke Qin, she couldn't hold back the tears any longer. She quickly ran to Duke Qin, knelt down, and cried, "Daughter, please make the decision for me, father!"

Duke Qin was furious when he saw his beloved second daughter looking so aggrieved for the first time. He helped Qin Ranran up from the ground and asked her to sit aside and talk to him slowly. Coincidentally, Shen was also there, and they would both make the decision for Qin Ranran.

Qin Ranran cried as she told Duke Qin and Lady Shen what Prince Xiang had been up to these past few days. He'd either beaten her or scolded her. Towards the end, she lifted her sleeves to show them the bruises hidden within. The moment her skin touched the air, she shuddered, as if a bad memory had come to her mind.

Shen had lost her mind the moment she saw Qin Ranran covered in wounds. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Duke Qin. "Master, I've never begged you for anything, but this time I beg you to let Ranran and Prince Xiang divorce! Ranran is your precious child, raised with us in our arms. Can you bear to see her living this kind of life after getting married?"

Duke Qin closed his eyes, unwilling to look at Shen in front of him. He felt sorry for Ran Ran, but he really couldn't afford to offend King Xiang!
