Just as everyone was worried about Mo Shisheng's small frame, Mo Shisheng was counting down in her heart, a faint cold smile on her lips. Just as she had calculated the time and was about to dodge, a soft embrace suddenly tightly protected her...
"Smack..."
That was the dull thud of bones shattering. Mo Shisheng's neck was soaked with warm liquid, and the smell of blood came from beside him.
Mo Shisheng's mind went blank for a moment, but only for a brief instant. His eyes turned icy as he held Jiang Yao in his arms and whispered, "Are you an idiot?"
"..."
Jiang Yao's mouth was full of blood and foam. The pain of her shattered bones and the severe blow to her internal organs made it impossible for her to utter a single word.
Just then, a discreet yet luxurious carriage quietly drove by and came to a stop right in front of the Shangguan Mansion.
Ming Beiya gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, his gaze meeting Mo Shisheng's. Mo Shisheng, not caring why he was there, subconsciously said, "Help me."
Mo Shisheng's voice was very soft, but Ming Beiya still understood what she was saying. Ming Beiya had actually been watching the commotion from the shadows for a while, and just as he was wondering how Mo Shisheng would handle the situation, the unexpected happened...
That maid was someone who served by her side. Ming Beiya thought that Mo Shisheng would be angry and teach Li Xiao a lesson, but she didn't.
She held the maid in her arms the moment she was injured.
As if by some strange twist of fate, Ming Beiya had Zhuque drive the carriage to the gate of the Shangguan Mansion. The moment he lifted the curtain to look at her, she also looked at him.
Ming Beiya understood the two words Mo Shisheng uttered: "Help me..."
This was the first time he had seen Mo Shisheng ask for his help. Being naturally proud, he should have taken this opportunity to tease Mo Shisheng, but Ming Beiya saw the bloodlust and coldness in Mo Shisheng's eyes.
Ming Beiya knew that she was angry because of this maid.
At this moment, Ming Beiya felt he understood this girl even less; from their first meeting, he felt he had never truly seen through her…
Ming Beiya nodded slightly. "Zhuque, go and treat that maid."
"yes."
Zhuque accepted the order, stepped down from the carriage, and strode to Mo Shisheng. The moment Ming Beiya's carriage stopped at the gate of Shangguan Mansion, everyone held their breath and made way for Zhuque as she approached.
“Miss Shangguan, please hand her over to me, and I will take her in to treat her,” Zhu Que said softly, standing respectfully before Mo Shisheng.
Because of her height, Mo Shisheng slightly raised her small face, "We absolutely cannot let anything happen to her."
"Don't worry, Miss Shangguan."
Zhuque nodded gently, carefully took Jiang Yao from Mo Shisheng's arms, and carried the blood-loss-prone Jiang Yao towards the Shangguan Mansion.
...
"Jiang Ge, do you know how fast my heart was beating from the moment he held me?"
Jiang Yao smiled as she recounted the incident, "He assured Miss that she could rest assured and that nothing would happen to me."
“Jiang Yao, that…”
“I know, Jiang Ge, I know it’s an illusion.”
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "I know that feeling I had for him was just an illusion. I just mistook my gratitude for him for liking him."
How did you figure that out?
"I only recently came to understand this myself..."
Not long after, Jiang Yao thought about it and realized it was probably because of Xiu's appearance.
