Qin Jiang lay unconscious on the bed. The servant changed his clothes into clean ones. Basins of blood were brought out from the room, which made Qin Yanran in the corridor tremble with fear.

Soon, the imperial physician that Xu Qing had invited arrived.

The imperial physician came into the room and treated Qin Jiang's injuries, and several basins of blood were brought out.

Qin Yanran's heart was in a knot.

After waiting for a long time until the door opened, Qin Yanran stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my father's injury?"

The imperial physician looked at her with a complicated expression and shook his head helplessly: "Lord Qin's right leg was pierced by an arrow. I have taken the arrow out for him, but..."

"But what?" Qin Yanran asked anxiously.

The imperial physician sighed, "But Lord Qin's injuries are too severe. Even if the wounds heal, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to recover as before."

Qin Yanran's eyes trembled: "It is difficult to recover as before means——"

The imperial physician said truthfully: "Master Qin's right leg may be disabled, and he will have to rely on crutches to walk in the future."

In short, you will be a cripple from now on.

Qin Yanran felt as if she had been hit on the head with a hammer. Her body swayed and she almost missed a step and fell off the stairs.

Fortunately, Xu Qing was quick to help her.

His broad hand grasped her cold arm. Xu Qing paused and quickly pulled his hand back.

Qin Yanran was in a huge shock and lost all sense of her surroundings. She just looked at the doctor pleadingly and said almost collapsed: "Doctor... are you kidding? How could my father's leg be disabled? He was just injured by an arrow... My father is a martial artist... He has been injured a lot in the past... Once... I remember one time he went hunting with my grandfather... He fell off the horse... His whole arm was cut with such a long gash..."

As she spoke, she gestured with her fingers.

"There was a lot of blood...but he recovered...doctor...my father will be fine...right?"

The doctor sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I tried my best."

After saying that, he left helplessly, carrying his medicine box.

Qin Yanran's tears fell with a click.

My brother's life or death is uncertain, my father has just lost his military power, and now he is about to lose a leg...

"How could this happen...why did it become like this?"

She held onto the pillar beside her, covered her face with her hands, and broke down in tears.

Xu Qing looked at her.

After a long time, he handed over a clean handkerchief.

Qin Yanran caught a glimpse of the handkerchief out of the corner of her eye and raised her head in a daze. After a while, she took the handkerchief in her hand in a daze.

She was about to wipe her tears when she suddenly heard Xu Qing speak calmly: "If I were a lady, I would move out of the Duke of Huguo's mansion immediately."

Qin Yanran looked at him with tears in her eyes, puzzled: "Why?"

Xu Qing said: "It's more decent to move out by yourself than to be kicked out by others."

Qin Yanran frowned and asked, "Who wants to kick us out?"

Xu Qing said calmly: "What do you think, Miss?"

Qin Yanran was stunned.

After a while, she clenched her fingers and said, "Do they really want to kill us all? We have already returned the identities they wanted...they also took away the military power...what else are you not satisfied with?"

Xu Qing didn't respond.

Qin Yanran choked up and said, "I'm going to find my grandfather!"

Xu Qing reminded: "Miss's grandfather is Qin Feng, who has passed away. Qin Canglan is your uncle."

Qin Yanran's heart was hit hard again.

It turns out that a person’s kindness can really be like an addictive poison.

Qin Canglan's care and love for her made it impossible for her to accept that everything was shattered.

She prayed every day that she was just having a nightmare, and when she woke up, she would still be the daughter of the Duke of Huguo and the treasure in Qin Canglan's hand.

"What did I do wrong? Why doesn't he want me?"

Qin Yanran couldn't let go in her heart, she felt greatly wronged.

Xu Qing said bluntly: "The one he loved from the beginning to the end was only Su Huayin's bloodline."

Qin Yanran's heart was torn apart, and she felt like dying.

She sobbed, "I'll go find the Third Prince..."

Xu Qing stopped him and said, "Don't you see it yet? The Third Prince only has that fat girl in his heart."

Qin Yanran suddenly raised her voice and stared at him coldly: "Nonsense!"

Xu Qing's expression did not change at all: "The Third Prince had known that fat girl in Qingzhou a long time ago. She cured the Third Prince's serious illness. The Third Prince was grateful for her life-saving grace and gradually fell in love with her."

Qin Yanran shook her head and said excitedly: "Impossible! You are lying! You are lying!"

Xu Qing said slowly, "The master knows it, but he doesn't want the young lady to be sad, so he has kept it a secret from her."

Qin Yanran bit her lip and said, "I don't believe it..."

Xu Qing said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Third Prince to verify it."

Qin Yanran laughed sarcastically: "How to verify it? Ask him if he has another woman in his heart?"

Xu Qing said calmly: "If the young lady asks this, the Third Prince will naturally not answer. However, the young lady can tell the Third Prince a secret."

Qin Yanran paused: "What secret?"

Xu Qing said: "That girl was in the countryside... and was married to Wei Ting. Su Cheng colluded with the Wei family and had ulterior motives. Let the Third Prince report this to His Majesty immediately to prevent any trouble!"

…

Jing family.

After Xiao Chonghua left the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, he immediately went to the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion to visit Jing Yi.

Jing Yi's high fever has subsided and the infection in the wound has been effectively controlled, but he still needs to rest and should not get out of bed for a short period of time.

Xiao Chonghua left the Jing family.

Just as he was about to get on the carriage, Qin Yanran walked out from the carriage opposite.

She was wearing a cloak and a hood that concealed her figure and appearance.

"Third Prince!"

Xiao Zhonghua paused, turned his head to look at her, and said with some surprise: "Miss Qin?"

He looked behind her, then looked around cautiously, and asked in a normal tone, "It's so late, are you here to see me, Miss Qin?"

Qin Yanran said: "Yes, I have very urgent news to report to the Third Prince."

"Please speak." Xiao Chonghua said.

The place where they were standing was about ten steps away from the Jing family's front door, which was neither far nor near.

She glanced at the guards at the gate, then at the driver beside her, and whispered, "I just heard about it too. Su Daya...actually, she had secretly married the youngest son of the Wei family in the countryside."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Chonghua's eyes.

Qin Yanran said sincerely: "I know that I shouldn't say these things at this critical moment. It seems as if I am deliberately obstructing the marriage between the Third Prince and Su Daya... But I swear to God, I am not doing this for my own selfish desires. I really, really got the news... I..."

"Miss Qin." Xiao Chonghua interrupted her, his tone as gentle as ever, "I don't know where you heard the news, but I can tell you clearly that Miss Su and Wei Ting have no personal relationship."

Qin Yanran opened her mouth: "Third Prince..."

Xiao Chonghua said solemnly, "Wei Ting has been practicing Buddhism in Huguolong Temple with his hair untied for the past year. The monks in the temple have testified that he has never been to Qingzhou, let alone met Miss Su. Miss Su is my doctor, and I can testify to this!"

…

Qin Yanran returned to the carriage in a daze.

The carriage drove into a quiet alley.

Xu Qing slowly walked out from the shadows.

He came to the car window and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince didn't believe what the young lady said, did he?"

Qin Yanran pushed open the small window and said in shock, "Xu Qing, are you lying, or is the Third Prince protecting her?"

Xu Qing said: "I may be able to lie, but the master won't. When the master wakes up, Miss can ask him for confirmation in person."

Qin Yanran smiled bitterly: "Why would the Third Prince protect her and Wei Ting?"

Xu Qing said sarcastically, "The Third Prince is not protecting Wei Ting, but just a simple girl. He is afraid of the consequences. Although this is a great opportunity to bring down the Wei family, in order to protect his beloved, the Third Prince is willing to pay any price."

She lost her grandfather who loved her, she lost the identity she was proud of, and now even her fiancé is leaving her.

"I won't accept this...I won't accept this!"

…

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Cheng and their group returned to the clinic, and Qin Canglan was also there.

The old marquis and the Su Qi brothers left the capital to pick up Su Mo and Lao Wu.

The three little ones had already finished school, and Xiao Weizi took them to the clinic.

The three of them stood in unison at the door, staring eagerly at the passing carriages. Their cute little looks captivated passers-by.

Finally, Qin Canglan rode a horse and escorted a carriage over.

When they saw Qin Canglan, the three little ones knew that Su Xiaoxiao and Su Cheng had also returned.

"Big Grandpa!"

The three little ones ran over panting.

The carriage stopped.

The three of them couldn't wait to climb up.

The driver didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Three young masters, let me get a stool first."

"Hatchet can climb up!"

The tiger climbed in vain and felt lonely for half a day.

Su Cheng lifted the curtain and came out, pulling the little guy into the carriage.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Da Hu and Er Hu also want it.

Su Cheng fished them both out as well.

"mother!"

The three of them entered the carriage and vied to sit next to Su Xiaoxiao.

Xiaohu didn't get close to her, but climbed directly onto Su Xiaoxiao's legs.

Oh, that’s great.

He closed his eyes in enjoyment. His mother's arms were so comfortable!

Da Hu and Er Hu: After making eye contact, they both wanted to beat up Xiao Hu.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and touched the three people's heads.

The three of them sat there for a while, swinging their legs, and then got off the carriage contentedly.

Doctor Fu was changing the dressing for the patient in the ward, Manager Sun was out doing business, Xiao Weizi and Dujuan were busy getting medicine for the patients in the lobby, and Ying'er was running errands upstairs and downstairs, back and forth.

Everyone is busy and orderly.

The group went to Su Xiaoxiao's yard.

Su Ergou's IV drip was almost finished, and Ying'er came over at the right time to see whether she should change Su Ergou's medicine.

"Boss?"

Ying'er looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise, "You're back?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly: "You go and do your work, I'll change the medicine later."

"Yes, boss." Ying'er went out.

She brought over a pot of hot tea and a plate of cut fruits, and then went about her work.

Su Ergou fell asleep on the bed.

Qin Canglan and Su Cheng brought the three kids into the house, looked at him, did not disturb him, and left quietly.

As soon as they left, Su Ergou opened his eyes quickly.
