"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Daddy!"

Zhu Yan'er threw herself on Zhu Xianyue, delicate and stubborn, pleading for her eldest sister who had made a mistake.

Zhu Xianyue pretended to cough violently, causing Zhu Yan'er to stagger and fall on her back.

The cane continued to fall, hitting Zhu Yan'er's neck and collarbone hard.

"ah!"

Zhu Yan'er, who wanted to put on a show, was hit hard by a cane and cried out in pain.

In wealthy families, women are not hit on the face or neck, and are not hit on any part of the body that can be seen by others.

Therefore, when Master Zhu hit Zhu Xianyue, he hit her on the back.

Zhu Yan'er insisted on jumping on him and putting on a show, so Zhu Xianyue obliged her.

Although the cane did not hurt Zhu Yan'er's face, it left a three-inch long wound on her slender neck!

The wound opened like a baby's mouth.

Red blood flowed out from it.

The vine was stained with chili water.

Scars will inevitably remain.

From now on, Zhu Yan'er can only wear high-necked clothes.

Even in the hot summer.

Inside the ancestral hall, the air was stagnant and filled with the heavy smell of rust and blood.

Taifu Zhu summoned the palace physician to treat Zhu Yan'er.

Zhu Xianyue was thrown back to her boudoir to fend for herself.

Master Zhu hoped that her wound would become infected and she would die in her room.

But Zhu Xianyue was not what he wanted.

To the outside world, Master Zhu only said that Zhu Xianyue was ill and not suitable to meet guests.

Most of the maids and old women in her room were sent away.

Only two close friends, Chunyu and Chuntao, were left.

Chunyu is one year older than Zhu Xianyue. He is only seventeen years old and is calm and steady in his work.

Moreover, all the elders and relatives in the family have passed away, so I have no worries.

Chuntao is two years younger than Zhu Xianyue. She is still a child with an unstable mind.

Seeing his girl so injured, Chunyu's tears fell like her name.

Xiao Chuntao fainted from fright.

Zhu Xianyue took out the medicine from the space of the blood jade bracelet and asked Chunyu to help her clean the wound and apply the medicine.

Under the hands of the Divine Doctor Saint, there will be no scars.

But for Zhu Yan'er, it's not necessarily the case.

"It's just a superficial wound. It won't kill you."

"Spring Rain, apply the medicine to me as soon as possible so that I can wait for the next day."

Looking at the blazing fire in his girl's eyes, Chunyu nodded solemnly.

Girl, you seem different from before.

But, a girl like this made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Due to her inherent servility, Chunyu served Zhu Xianyue very wholeheartedly.

At midnight, Chunyu and Chuntao, who were guarding the Lishuang Pavilion where Zhu Xianyue lived, had already fallen asleep.

No one noticed that a man in nightgown broke into Zhu Xianyue's boudoir.

In the pitch-black night, a pair of dark eyes stared at the seriously injured woman lying on the bed.

After practicing martial arts for many years, Qin Yuhuai could sense that Zhu Xianyue's breathing was disordered.

The two of them had had physical contact, so she must have been able to smell the scent on him.

But she still dozed off.

Qin Yuhuai had no choice but to walk over and said to Zhu Xianyue, "Hehe."

Zhu Xianyue: "..."

A romance destroyer, no doubt.

"What are you doing here?"

She pretended not to recognize his identity.

"Let's see if you're dead or not, Zhu... Zhu Xianyue, right? The eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor, and the daughter of the late Princess Chaoyang."

"You, are Ben... my first woman."

"How is it? Are you satisfied with my kung fu?"

"You took my head for a night. Are you happy?"

Zhu Xianyue: "..."

He talks a lot.

But Zhu Xianyue was so tired that she didn't want to bother with him.

Moreover, given her reputation, she must have been forced to be with Qin Yuhuai.

"I want to sleep." Zhu Xianyue said.
