Fearing she might hurt his pride, she added with a particularly righteous tone, "Even if you were just my ordinary patient, let alone my husband, I wouldn't allow your injuries to suffer further harm!"

What do you mean by "don't say" or "even if"?

Gu Yunzhen's handsome face darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice: "If Gu Twelve hadn't arrived, had you considered the consequences?"

Shangguan Wu was stunned. She didn't have time to think so much at the time. If she had really thought about it, his leg would have been ruined.

"Why are you dwelling on this? Didn't he arrive in time? Your leg is saved, and I'm fine too. Isn't that a happy ending for everyone?"

"You're lying here and you call it nothing?"

"Gu Yunzhen!"

Shangguan Wu was so angry that she called him by his full name, her head throbbing with pain: "I've noticed that you're acting like a contrarian now. Stop talking, you're hurting my ears. I don't want to hear you."

Gu Yunzhen: "..."

What is a "troll"?

He was just telling her the worst possible outcome. If she wasn't even mentally prepared for that, she would regret it for the rest of her life if something irreversible happened.

Gu Yunzhen looked down at her, but before he could speak, Shangguan Wu had already turned her head away, presenting the back of her head to him.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"You should get some rest."

He sat back in his wheelchair and maneuvered it toward the door.

Shangguan Wu pouted. Did he just leave like that?

Her hands were clenched into fists.

Just as he was about to speak.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and a somewhat familiar voice rang out: "Little cousin, where are you hurt? How serious is it?"

Seeing Shangguan Wu lying on the hospital bed, he assumed she had injured her spine and comforted her, "I'll contact the most authoritative orthopedic doctor for you right away. He'll definitely be able to heal your injury. Don't be afraid!"

Shangguan Wu: "..." Why is she afraid?

Did she injure her spine?

Shangguan Wu didn't realize the severity of her injuries. Could it be that the local anesthesia caused her to misjudge the situation?

Her heart skipped a beat, and she took her own pulse.

Gu Yunzhen noticed that her face had paled slightly. She glanced coldly at Qin Yichen and said in an unpleasant tone, "Don't scare her. She didn't break any bones and will be able to be discharged in two days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't find any major problems with her body when she took her pulse.

Qin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Yunzhen with a teasing expression: "Brother-in-law, are you going out?"

Brother-in-law is brother-in-law, why add the word 'young'? Does he really think I won't dare to deal with him now?

Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes narrowed slightly.

Upon seeing his expression, Qin Yichen moved closer to the bedside and said, "Oh dear, little cousin, look at his expression! It's so fierce! Does he often yell at you like that?"

Shangguan Wu looked at Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen's gaze sharpened slightly as they met eyes.

Shangguan Wu blinked: "Honey, weren't you going out?"

Gu Yunzhen: "..."

Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow: "So you really are going out. Then go ahead. I'm free today, so I can stay and chat with my little cousin."

Gu Yunzhen: "…………"

When did he say he was going out?

Gu Yunzhen pursed her thin lips into a straight line.

“Little cousin, none of the elders in the family know about your injury. Your second brother is abroad, so he didn’t tell him. Your eldest brother found out that the Xiao family hurt you, so he went to the Xiao family and will definitely make them give you an explanation!” Qin Yichen said, moving a chair to sit by the hospital bed.

"Were those people sent by the Xiao family?"

Shangguan Wu was extremely surprised.

Qin Yichen was even more shocked than her, and glanced at Gu Yunzhen, who hadn't left yet: "Didn't you tell her?"

Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "She needs to focus on recovering from her injuries."

Qin Yichen: "..."

Does that mean that by saying so much, his little cousin can't focus on recovering from her injury?

He felt he was being subtly criticized.

Shangguan Wu guessed, "Was it done by Xiao Zhongming?"

Qin Yichen snapped his fingers: "Not bad, my little cousin is really smart!"

But Shangguan Wu's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her voice flowed out unhurriedly: "Rumor has it that Xiao Zhongming is a playboy who only knows how to have fun and has no brains. The people he found this time are also a bunch of good-looking but useless thugs. Will he have them act in batches?"

Qin Yichen stroked his chin and said, "You're right! Who do you think his accomplice is?"

Gu Yunzhen's gaze fell on her face.

Shangguan Wu silently recited Quan Tianrui's name in her mind, but she frowned and shook her head, saying, "I don't know."

Anyway, as long as they investigate, they will definitely find Quan Tianrui.

This makes it more credible!

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's narrowed eyes. She then maneuvered her wheelchair out of the ward and asked Gu Shier, "During Xiao Zhongming's hospitalization, who did he have the most contact with?"

Gu Shier replied, "Xiao Zhongming's cousin, I think his name is Quan Tianrui, has been staying with him at the hospital."

"Quan Tianrui?"

A man who had a verbal marriage agreement with Shangguan Wu!

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Send someone to investigate him."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Gu Shier felt a chill run down his spine.

Meanwhile, Qin Yiheng sat languidly in the Xiao family's living room.

He exuded a powerful aura; though he didn't speak, he was impossible to ignore.

Old Madam Xiao and Third Madam Xiao accompanied them.

They were unaware of what was happening outside and were quite puzzled by Qin Yiheng's arrival.

Xiao San's wife is Quan Tianrui's aunt, Quan Fenglai.

The Xiao family has few offspring, with only two children, Xiao Jingming and Xiao Zhongming. Xiao Jingming was cultivated to meet the high standards of an heir, while Xiao Zhongming was pampered by the women of the Xiao family. Both brothers were born to Quan Fenglai, so Quan Fenglai has a high status in the Xiao family. However, she is very good at interpersonal relationships and respects the eldest and second wives of the Xiao family, so she is highly regarded by the old lady of the Xiao family.
