"Greetings, Master." Shen Qianxue gave a curt bow without saying anything further.
Xia Lingyun found it strange. Xia Yinyin walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "The girl next to Brother Qianxue is Su Jinxia."
Xia Lingyun turned her gaze to Su Jinxia. She looked like an ordinary little girl, but when she and Shen Qianxue entered the room, their hands were clasped together.
Xia Lingyun quickly made up her mind and bowed down to Su Jin.
Everyone was shocked. That was the master of the manor, the most influential manor master in the martial arts world, who was actually bowing to a little girl.
Su Jinxia, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. She accepted the greeting but didn't return it or say a word.
Xia Lingyun spoke sincerely, "My son offended you, young lady. I apologize to you. Please don't hold it against him and let him go."
Su Jin raised an eyebrow slightly; what a loving father he truly is.
Before Su Jinxia could speak, a woman carrying a bowl of medicine walked in from outside the courtyard. She was Xia Yang's mother, Liu Jingzhu.
Unlike Xia Lingyun, she wasn't composed at all. Upon hearing that Su Jinxia was the one who had harmed Xia Yang to that state, she pounced on him without saying a word, grabbing Su Jinxia's arm from behind, shouting, "What kind of thing are you, daring to harm my son!"
Su Jinxia stumbled as Liu Jingzhu pulled her, and Shen Qianxue quickly supported her, grasping Liu Jingzhu's wrist. Her eyes flashed coldly, and her voice turned icy, "Madam, please have some self-respect!"
Liu Jingzhu then noticed Shen Qianxue. As the mistress of the manor, even if she was only a lady of the inner quarters, she knew Shen Qianxue's status and position, and panicked for a moment.
Xia Lingyun stepped forward angrily and pulled her away, apologizing, "My son is critically ill, and Madam is just anxious. Please don't blame me, my dear nephew."
Shen Qianxue didn't say anything, she was unhappy, but she also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xia Lingyun, the dignified head of the manor, is usually very imposing, as Shen Qianxue knows. It's quite a feat for him to adopt such a humble posture today.
Xia Lingyun was truly at her wit's end!
Xia Yang has been lying in bed on the verge of death for two days. We've tried everything, but nothing has worked!
Therefore, Xia Lingyun could only place her hopes on Su Jinxia, since Xia Yang insisted that Su Jinxia had hit him, which was why he was in this state.
Therefore, everyone in the Xia family believed that Su Jin had used underhanded tactics to harm Xia Yang.
Originally, if Su Jinxia were captured and severely tortured, she would surely reveal the truth. However, since she is backed by Shen Qianxue and the two appear to be very intimate, force is not an option.
Seeing her imposing father so subservient, Xia Yinyin felt embarrassed and angrily walked up to Shen Qianxue, saying aggrievedly, "Brother Qianxue, who is she to you? How can she act so recklessly? Even if Xia Yang is usually mischievous, he doesn't deserve to die. How can she be so cruel as to put Xia Yang to death!"
Liu Jingzhu also realized what was happening and understood her current predicament. She rushed back to Su Jinxia's side and pleaded, "Miss Su, right? Please, don't hold a grudge against me! Please save my son!"
Should adults not hold grudges against petty people?
Su Jin nodded in deep agreement.
However, Su Jin said awkwardly, "I only kicked him a few times in anger, it's not like he's going to die or something."
Xia Lingyun scrutinized Su Jinxia with a serious expression, pondering the truth or falsehood in her words.
"But the nature of my son's illness is not something that can be solved by just a few kicks!"
"Yes, so many doctors have said it's not an external injury!" Liu Jingzhu anxiously agreed. If this dragged on any longer, and they couldn't find the cause or a solution, her son would really be gone!
Su Jin looked at Shen Qianxue with a wronged expression, then thought for a moment and said, "How about we take a look at him?"
Shen Qianxue nodded, "Master, please don't be anxious. Let's see how things go first."
Seeing that Su Jin didn't seem to be lying, Xia Lingyun had no choice but to let them into the room.
Upon entering the room, Shen Qianxue stood to the side without moving, while Su Jin stepped forward to check on Xia Yang's symptoms.
Xia Lingyun was somewhat surprised. He thought it was Shen Qianxue who wanted to take a look, but he didn't expect it was Su Jin who went up to check.
"Does this young lady know medicine?" Xia Lingyun asked.
A hint of pride flashed in Shen Qianxue's eyes as she said softly, "She is Lu Ming's disciple!"
Xia Lingyun was shocked. Lu Ming was a descendant of a century-old family of doctors and a disciple of a legendary physician.
But he remained steadfastly in Phoenix Pavilion, never coming out to treat patients or accepting any. Unexpectedly, he actually took on a disciple!
Su Jin must be very powerful too!
Xia Lingyun felt hopeful; his only son, he absolutely couldn't be harmed!
Su Jin glanced at him briefly and then took his pulse.
Actually, Su Jin had already noticed Xia Yang's problem when they met a couple of days ago.
He appeared weak and listless, outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and when emotionally agitated, his facial expressions were strange, as if he were out of control.
Su Jin kicked Xia Yang a few times. Although it wasn't fatal, it was the cause of Xia Yang's current state, causing his original problems to fully erupt.
Su Jin took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands.
Liu Jingzhu asked anxiously, "Dr. Su, how is he?"
Su Jinxia almost burst out laughing at the title "Dr. Su." Xia's parents were really anxious, completely disregarding their status and position.
It's clear that Xia Yang, being the only son, holds the highest position in Xia Ke Manor.
No wonder he was so arrogant and domineering, doing whatever he pleased!
Su Jin shook her head with a troubled expression, then clicked her tongue twice and said softly, "Not good!"
Xia's parents were struck dumb, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
Xia Yinyin glared at Su Jinxia, "Are you reliable or not? I think you did it. Xia Yang was fine before, how did you kick him a few times and he became like this!"
Su Jin raised her chin, her eyes filled with disdain, "What do you know? You're just spouting nonsense!"
"You!" Xia Yinyin was furious.
But a doctor nearby spoke up, "Young lady, have you found out what the problem is?"
As a fellow doctor, he knew that when a doctor said something was not good, it meant that she had found the problem, but the situation was rather complicated.
If you don't know anything, you wouldn't draw such a conclusion with such certainty!
Su Jin smiled slightly.
That smile gave everyone renewed hope.
It has to be said that Su Jinxia successfully won over the hearts of Xia's parents.
In this way, if Su Jinxia wanted them to laugh, they would laugh; if Su Jinxia wanted them to cry, they would cry.
"Miss Su, what's the situation? Can it be cured? Give me a definite answer!" Xia Lingyun felt a little displeased that Su Jin was keeping her in suspense, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously.
Is that accurate?
Su Jinxia certainly wouldn't give it up easily.
but……
Su Jin looked at Xia Lingyun sincerely, and like a good doctor, said prudently, "Your young master has obviously been harmed. If you want to save him, you must find the person who harmed him."
"What! Who did this?" Liu Jingzhu immediately turned her attention to the murderer.
Xia Lingyun frowned and continued to ask, "How was my son murdered?"
Knowing how Xia Yang was harmed is the only way to find out who harmed him!
