Although Grandpa Sheng spoke lightly, he was still very angry inside.
He was somewhat disappointed with the situation when he learned that the Zhu family had been demoted. He felt that he could not afford to offend them, but he could avoid them, so he found a place to hide.
But he never expected that even though he had fled to the countryside, some people still wouldn't let them go.
"Yi, tell me, what's the background of their attempt to target us? As long as we're in the right, we have nothing to be afraid of!"
Sheng Yi quickly went over to pat him on the back and replied with a smile:
"Of course we're in the right! And I'm not afraid at all. I came back to the capital intending to investigate this matter thoroughly, not to hide out of fear. Don't misunderstand me, old man!"
Sheng Bojian hadn't expected his fearless grandson to be afraid of something like this. Hearing that his grandson had returned to Kyoto to investigate the Zhu family, his expression softened considerably, but he still asked:
"So how did you get involved with them? And what about your skills? You're hiding them as soon as you get back, and when we ask you questions, you just dodge the question. Humph!"
Sheng Yi had no choice but to explain the whole story to everyone.
Of course, he simply omitted some thrilling or inappropriate content that was not suitable for the elderly to hear.
Even so, everyone present was filled with lingering fear when they heard that Sheng Yi's hand might not recover.
Fortunately, it was only his hand that was injured. If that knife had landed on his neck or other vulnerable areas, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Upon hearing how serious it was, Old Master Sheng quickly took his hand, removed the gauze to examine him, and took his pulse for a while before the solemn expression on his face finally dissipated.
"hiss……"
He frowned, looking at Sheng Yi with a puzzled expression. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Zhu Qinghao, his face showing a complex expression that seemed to be both enlightened and even more confused.
Zhu Qinghao was right next to him. She felt a little nervous when she saw him looking over, but then she calmed down.
It's alright. She recovered from such a serious illness she was born with, so it shouldn't be surprising if Sheng Yi's minor injury also heals.
She was prepared. If Grandpa Sheng asked, she would pretend to be stupid. If she really couldn't avoid it, she would say that the medicine she had before was not used up and was eventually used on Sheng Yi.
When asked why her health had suddenly improved, Zhu Qinghao gave ambiguous answers to everyone, only saying that she had just had a dream, and that after the Zhu family was sent to the countryside and Liu Yansong betrayed her, she unexpectedly met a benefactor.
Although the Zhu family members were puzzled, they saw that Zhu Qinghao had indeed recovered, and since she didn't elaborate, they all refrained from asking.
Zhu Qinghao was mentally prepared, but in the end, Old Master Sheng didn't ask anything, he just smiled and looked at Sheng Yi:
"You're lucky, kid. Just be happy about it!"
Sheng Yi nodded without hesitation and added:
"I also think I'm pretty lucky, so this injury on my hand will heal completely, right? I don't have to worry about it anymore?"
Sheng Bojian narrowed his eyes. "It's probably pretty close."
After the injury examination was completed and everyone was confirmed that his hand would heal, Sheng Yi continued his story...
