"Looking for your father?!" Mother Meng wiped away her tears, her face full of indignation. "As soon as you came back, I sent someone to the county to deliver a message to your father, but we still haven't seen him. Who knows which vixen is having a good time in bed with him? There's no use looking for him!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

A hurried sound of footsteps approached from afar.

"What are you saying!" The man rushed to the bedside like a whirlwind, without even putting down his riding whip. "Er Gou said Fu'er is injured. Where is he injured? Is he alright?"

Meng Fu looked at his father, his cries of pain intensifying, "Father, it was that little bitch Su Hua who hurt me! She broke my left hand, and... she kicked my genitals! It hurts so much... Waaah..."

In just a few words, tears and snot streamed down his face.

"Su Hua?!" Father Meng exclaimed in surprise. "That little girl, how dare she?"

"It's her!" Meng Fu's face was gloomy, his teeth clenched so hard they were rattling. "Father, hurry up and find the county yamen runners and arrest that brat Su Hua. I want her to go to jail right now!"

“At this hour, the county government office would have been closed long ago.” Meng’s father glanced at the sky and turned to the old doctor beside him. “Doctor, prescribe some medicine for my son to treat his wrist injury.”

Unexpectedly, the old doctor, who always kept his eyes closed and mind at ease, shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm powerless to help."

After saying that, he picked up the medicine box next to him and got up.

"Powerless?" Mencius' mother was startled and quickly grabbed the doctor. "What do you mean by that?"

The old doctor sighed softly, "Your son's wrist skin is unbroken, and the bones inside are all intact, not like they were broken. On the contrary, he is quite healthy. As for your son's lower body..."

At this point, the old doctor lifted his eyelids, glanced at Meng Fu on the bed, and shook his head.

"He can only rely on himself now."

"It's not broken, and it's perfectly healthy?" Mencius' mother looked stunned.

She must have heard correctly; her son was in so much pain, yet he said he was fine.

"What do you mean, you old geezer... Ouch..." Upon hearing this, Meng Fu scrambled to his feet, but this caused another sharp pain in his wound. "I think you're just incompetent; you can't even diagnose a simple illness!"

He saw it clearly at the time; it was that brat Su Hua who stepped on his left wrist.

Even the cracking sound of bones breaking still seems to echo in my ears.

This old guy actually said his hand was fine.

And he even said that his lifeline can only be sustained by himself?!

Will he really die of pain on his own?!

"Hmph! This old man certainly doesn't have such skill. Farewell!" The old doctor was so angry that his goatee trembled, and he simply flicked his sleeves and left.

"Doctor, don't worry! Don't worry..." Meng's father hurriedly chased after him.

But the old doctor moved with lightning speed, disappearing without even being touched on his sleeve.

"Fu'er, what have you done?" The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed repeatedly as he looked at Meng Fu. "There's no doctor in Shanghe Village. We finally managed to get one from town, but he got angry and ran away. It's so late at night, where do you expect your father to find another doctor for you?"

Meng Fu clutched his crotch, his face flushed red and purple. "Father, I don't want any doctor, I just want to get rid of that little slut Su Hua and make her go to jail!"

"Hurry up and go! What are you standing there for?" Seeing that her husband hadn't moved for a long time, Meng's mother's anger surged up. "Meng Yongfu, our son is injured like this and you still won't avenge him? Do you not care about us mother and son at all? Are you just thinking about making room for that vixen outside after Fu'er's accident?"

"What kind of nonsense is this!" Father Meng exclaimed helplessly. "Do you think the yamen is run by the Meng family? You think you can just send whoever you want to jail?"

He was just a small noodle shop owner, with no power or influence.

Nowadays, even the old doctor in Cangwu Town can't see the injuries on Meng Fu's body.

Even if he wanted to sue Su Hua, what grounds could he use?

In the end, I'm afraid I won't win the case and will have to be charged with making a false report to the authorities.

It's true, they lost both their wife and their army.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Mother Meng cried, her eyes red and swollen. "That wretched girl has always been stupid. In the past, only our Fu'er bullied her. Now that she's not stupid anymore, she's come to take revenge on our Fu'er. If we don't teach her a lesson this time, she might really think that our Meng family is an easy target!"

“Mother is right! Even if we can’t send her to jail, we must get her!” Meng Fu nodded resentfully.

Meng's father frowned. He was the only able-bodied adult male in his family, while the Su family had three.

In terms of sheer numbers, their family suffered a crushing defeat.

Meng Yun'er, who had been standing in the corner like an invisible person, looked at the three people frozen in the room and suddenly a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Today, Young Master Qin gave Su Hua many gifts as thanks, including a priceless jade hairpin."

The girl's soft, weak voice instantly brought the three of them back to their senses.

"A priceless jade hairpin?" Mother Meng exclaimed in surprise, then slapped Meng Yun'er across the face. "What time is it now? All you can think about are these things. Your brother has always doted on you!"

Snap!

The girl staggered as she was slapped.

His face was visibly swollen.

Two fists were clenched tightly in the wide sleeves of his clothes.

Her fingernail scratched her palm, and bright red blood seeped out, quickly staining her cuffs red.

But no one saw any of this.

"Meng Yun'er, you're just like Su Hua! You're both sluts!" Meng Fu glared at the girl with hatred. "Get the hell out of here right now, the farther the better. I never want to see you again!"

"Fu'er, what's gotten into you again?" Meng's father scolded in a low voice.

He walked over to Meng Yun'er and said, "Yun'er, don't hold it against your mother and brother. They were just in a hurry and spoke a bit rashly. If your face hurts, put a hot towel on it later."

Meng Yun'er loosened her fist slightly at her side.

But then the man's voice rang out again.

"What's this about the jade hairpin you mentioned? What does it have to do with your brother's matter?"

"Heh—" The girl chuckled softly to herself, but when she looked up, her expression was calm. "There are a few petty thieves in the village. If they find out that Su Hua has such a precious jade hairpin, do you think they will let Su Hua off easily, Father?"

“Yes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. As long as there is profit to be made, we are not afraid that those few poor folks will not fall for it.” Meng’s father’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. “At that time, we can avenge Fu’er without lifting a finger.”

As the man spoke, his brows suddenly furrowed again.

"But what's the deal with this jade hairpin? How did you know she had a precious jade hairpin?"
