"Grandmother, Father!" Qian Youxue knew that her father and grandmother would definitely come. She rushed over as soon as she heard that her father had returned, after all, this matter was caused by her, and she had to put on a show for it.
The old lady stepped forward and took Qian Youxue's hand, thinking that if Youxue had been the one on stage today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Sensing her grandmother's sorrowful gaze, Qian Youxue guessed that her grandmother was thinking about what had happened in the palace, feeling fortunate to have escaped a calamity, but also saddened by the loss of such a good opportunity.
"Grandmother, Youxue only twisted her ankle, but I didn't expect it to hurt Fifth Sister like this. Fifth Sister must be in a lot of pain, sob sob..." Qian Youxue said, sobbing.
"Silly child, don't cry. Your fifth sister has actually benefited from this misfortune; the Emperor has bestowed upon her many rewards. Come, let's go inside and see." The old lady felt sorry for Qian Youxue when she saw her crying.
Qian Sheng kept frowning and looking at his eldest daughter with a strange gaze. A strange feeling came over him, and he shook his head vigorously.
Since discovering the problem with the child's spiritual root, he had consulted numerous doctors. Several experienced doctors told him that Qian Youxue's spiritual root was irreparable; besides her face being ruined, her mind might also not behave like a normal girl's, which was why he had completely given up on her in the first place.
"Youxue, Aunt Liu will find a doctor to examine you, so you shouldn't go out for the next few days," he said thoughtfully.
"Why didn't you do this earlier? Who are you trying to impress now?" the old lady said sarcastically, pulling Qian Youxue into the courtyard.
Qian Sheng didn't dare to talk back, not knowing why his mother disliked Liu Shi so much, so he could only slink into the courtyard with her.
The room was filled with sobs. Although her daughter had escaped unharmed and even received many rewards, Aunt Meng, as her mother, was still terrified.
"What are you crying for? Fifth Sister has turned misfortune into blessing and received a reward from the Emperor. What is there for you to cry about?" Qian Yingxue felt even more irritated by the crying. She glared at the unconscious Qian Yuexue with itchy teeth, wishing she could drag her down and give her a good beating.
Meng was originally a maidservant of Liu, and because she had slept with Qian Sheng, she had long been a thorn in Liu's side. However, considering that Meng had been relatively obedient over the years, she hadn't taken any action to kill the woman.
thump!
Aunt Meng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Madam Liu repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, for protecting Fifth Miss. Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
"Get up. Miss Wu has really shown her face this time. Your good days are coming soon. Take good care of Miss Wu." Aunt Liu's voice sounded calm and even, but she was very unhappy that this little hussy had gotten such a good deal.
"Thank you, mistress! Thank you, mistress!" As Aunt Meng got up, she secretly glanced at Madam Liu. Seeing Madam Liu's calm attitude only made her more flustered.
Before long, the old lady led the others into the house. After inquiring about Qian Yuexue's health from the doctor, she urged Aunt Liu to find a doctor for Qian Youxue.
"Mother, don't worry, I've already sent Muxue to the palace." Aunt Liu wouldn't trust a doctor hired from outside, and besides, being able to bring back an imperial physician would also allow her to show off in front of the old lady.
Having already woken up, Qian Yuexue felt extremely resentful when she heard Aunt Liu send her second sister to fetch the imperial physician for the ugly girl, while she herself was treated by an ordinary doctor. However, thinking about how she had now made an appearance before the princes and noble young masters and that her future was bright, her mood improved.
