"Qianqian..." Tears welled up in Xie Yanzhou's bloodshot eyes, and the pain in his eyes slid down with the tears.
Nanqianyue took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, saying, "Although men don't easily shed tears, this is in front of your mother's grave. You are a child, so cry and let out all the unhappiness in your heart."
“I’ll take you to get treatment after you’re done crying. No matter what happens next, you should take care of your health first. Look how badly you’re injured. You’re not taking good care of yourself.”
"Your martial arts skills are so good, why did you let him hit you? And he kept hitting your vital points, it's too much and too vicious!"
While wiping Xie Yanzhou's face, Nanqianyue kept rambling on and on.
Xie Yanzhou looked into her eyes and brows, his heart stirred. He suddenly hugged her, buried his head in her shoulder, and trembled all over. "Qianqian, please don't leave me..."
Nanqianyue moved her lips, but ultimately refrained from saying anything in rebuttal.
His situation is bad enough right now, so don't say anything that might upset him.
The people hiding behind the tree saw the couple embracing in front of the grave; some were happy, while others were anxious.
Seeing her brother, who now had someone to rely on, Xie's eyes welled up with tears again. She couldn't wait to prepare the betrothal gifts and marry her future sister-in-law.
If we don't stay at the Marquis's residence then, we can simply sever ties with them.
Since my grandfather left so much property, if my sister-in-law doesn't like the existing house and villa, we can just build a new big house.
Everything was done according to my sister-in-law's preferences.
Miss Xie is truly worried sick about her brother.
Green-clad girl scratched at the tree bark, looking extremely anxious. She had an urge to rush over and pull Young Master Xie away.
This is outrageous!
In the shadows, the man in green was disheveled and bruised.
Oh no! How is he supposed to report this to the prince? If he had known it would be such a difficult task, he would have sent the woman in red.
Heaven help me, I hope the prince's anger doesn't affect him, an innocent bystander.
Nan Qianyue, with her back to the tombstone, gently patted Xie Yanzhou's back. She patted for an unknown amount of time, until the head on her shoulder became heavier and heavier, until finally, Xie Yanzhou's entire weight was leaning on her.
"Xie Yanzhou?" Nan Qianyue called softly.
There was no response.
"Thank you, Yanzhou!"
Nanqian struggled to prop himself up, looked at his face, and fainted!
"Come quickly and carry people!" Nanqianyue shouted at the thick tree in the distance.
——
Inside the Liushui Pavilion, a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
With the help of several people, Xie Yanzhou was gently laid flat on the bed.
As the moon slid south, she rolled up her sleeves and beckoned to the woman in green, "Green, open the medicine box and give me whatever I need."
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Miss Xie snatched the medicine box from Green Robe's hands.
While giving instructions, Yue Qian began to undress Xie Yanzhou.
If this back injury isn't treated soon, he'll be in serious trouble.
If you accidentally get tetanus, you're doomed.
The man in blue, who was peeping from the roof beam, covered his forehead. Maybe he should let the prince come and see for himself.
"What kind of father are you? Are you trying to beat your own son to death?"
When Nanqianyue saw the shocking wounds on Xie Yanzhou's back, a surge of anger rose within her.
Miss Xie bit her lip, trying to hold back her sobs so as not to disturb Miss Nan as she treated her brother's injuries.
...An hour later, Nanqianyue finally finished treating Xie Yanzhou's external injuries.
She let out a weary sigh and looked at Miss Xie, asking, "Has the doctor been brought?"
"The doctor is here!" Miss Xie's maid led the doctor in.
Nan Qianyue stood up and stepped aside, "Doctor, please take a look at him quickly. I estimate that his internal injuries are very serious."
The doctor could tell from the patient's complexion that the situation was not good, and he did not dare to delay and immediately went to examine the patient.
Several people stood around quietly waiting.
At this moment, the servant guarding the villa hurriedly ran to the outside of the Flowing Water Pavilion.
"Miss, people from the Prime Minister's residence have arrived. They say they've come to take Miss Nan back to her residence."
Nanqianyue frowned. She didn't say goodbye to the Prime Minister's wife when she left, but Granny Qiao and the servants in Qingyun Courtyard all knew that she had gone with Miss Xie.
Sending someone to pick them up at this time is quite reasonable.
“Miss Nan…” Miss Xie grasped Nan Qianyue’s hand, her eyes filled with tears and her expression panicked.
She was afraid that if her brother woke up and couldn't see Miss Nan, he would run off again.
"Good girl." Nan Qianyue touched Miss Xie's cheek. She knew Miss Xie's worries. "I have to go, but I will leave a note. Show it to him when he wakes up."
Miss Xie then hesitantly released her.
As the moon shone southward, he walked to the desk and, using the writing implements that had been prepared for the doctor, penned a few words:
Eat well, recover well, and take good care of yourself, or we're done.
"Alright." She handed the note to Miss Xie. "I'm leaving."
Miss Xie clutched the note to her chest as if it were a lifeline, bidding farewell to her future sister-in-law with tears welling in her eyes.
At the entrance of the villa, there was a carriage made of ebony wood. At first glance, it seemed to have an overly imposing presence.
Standing at the gate, Nan Qianyue stared suspiciously at the carriage, wondering if it was the Prime Minister's carriage.
They are not in the same style at all.
"Young lady, why are you not leaving?" asked the woman in green.
Nanqianyue turned her gaze to the coachman standing beside the carriage and asked intently, "Which household are you from?"
The coachman quickly bent down, "Miss, please get in the carriage, I'll take you home."
This is completely irrelevant; there's something fishy going on.
Nan Qianyue raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Since you dare to impersonate the Prime Minister's residence, who sent you here!"
“Miss Nan, it’s me.” A figure in blue stepped out from behind the carriage.
Nanqianyue frowned. "Qingyi? What are you doing?"
Qingyi felt miserable. He looked at Nan Qianyue with a long face and clasped his hands. "Miss Nan, please get on the carriage quickly. I don't want to be beaten by the army."
