Protector Duke’s Estate, West Courtyard.

Qin Jiang was lying unconscious on the bed. The servant had changed his clothes, and pots of blood were brought out of the room. Qin Yanran, who was watching from the corridor, was terrified.

Not long after, the imperial physician that Xu Qing had gone to get arrived.

The imperial physician entered the room to treat Qin Jiang’s injuries and brought out a few pots of blood.

Qin Yanran’s heart clenched into a ball.

When the door finally opened, Qin Yanran went forward and asked, “Imperial physician, how are my father’s injuries?”

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’ve already taken the arrow out for him, but…

“But what?” Qin Yanran asked anxiously.

The imperial physician sighed. “But Lord Qin’s injuries are too serious. Even if his wounds heal, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for him to recover.”

Qin Yanran’s eyes trembled, “This means…”

The imperial physician said truthfully, “Lord Qin’s right leg might be crippled. In the future, he will have to rely on crutches to walk.”

In short, he would be a cripple in the future.

Qin Yanran felt as if she had been hit in the head. Her body swayed and she almost fell down the stairs.

Fortunately, Xu Qing quickly pulled her back.

His large palm grabbed her cold arm. Xu Qing paused and hurriedly pulled his hand back.

Qin Yanran was suffering from a huge blow and lost all sense of her surroundings. She only looked at the imperial physician pleadingly and almost broke down as she said, “Imperial physician… are you joking? How can my father’s leg be crippled? He only suffered an arrow wound… My father is a martial artist… He has suffered many injuries in the past… Once… I remember that he went hunting with my grandfather once… He fell from the back of a horse… His entire arm had such a long cut…”

As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers to gesture.

“There was a lot of blood… but he recovered… My father will be fine… right?”

The imperial physician sighed. “I’m sorry, I tried my best.”

With that, he carried his first aid kit and left helplessly.

Qin Yanran’s tears fell.

His brother’s fate was unknown. His father had just lost his military power, and now he was about to lose a leg…

“How did this happen… How did this happen?”

She held onto the pillar beside her, covered her face, and broke down into tears.

Xu Qing looked at her.

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

Qin Yanran caught a glimpse of the handkerchief from the corner of her eye

and raised her head in a daze. After a while, she took the handkerchief in her hand distraughtly.

Just as she was about to wipe her tears, she suddenly heard Xu Qing say indifferently, “If I were you, I would quickly move out of the Protectorate.”

Qin Yanran’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him in confusion. “Why?”

Xu Qing said, “It’s better to move out yourself than to get chased out.”

Qin Yanran frowned. “Who wants to chase us out?”

Xu Qing said indifferently, “What do you think, Miss?”

Qin Yanran was stunned.

After a while, she clenched her fists. “Do they really want to be so ruthless? We’ve already returned the identity they wanted… They’ve also taken away their military power… What’s there to be dissatisfied about?” Xu Qing did not answer.

Qin Yanran sobbed, “I’m going to look for Grandfather!”

Xu Qing reminded him, “Miss’s grandfather is Qin Feng, who has passed away.

Qin Canglan is your uncle.”

Qin Yanran’s heart suffered another heavy blow.

It turned out that a person’s kindness could really be like an addictive poison.

Qin Canglan’s care and love for her made her unable to accept that everything had turned into bubbles.

Every day, she prayed that she had only had a nightmare. When she woke up, she would still be the daughter of the Protector Duke and the treasure in Qin Canglan’s hands.

“What did I do wrong again? Why doesn’t he want me?”

Qin Yanran couldn’t let go of her heart. She felt extremely wronged. Xu Qing hit the nail on the head and said, “From the beginning to the end, he only loved Su Huayin’s bloodline.”

Qin Yanran’s heart was torn apart. She tasted the pain of death.

She sobbed and said, “I’ll go look for the Third Prince…”

Xu Qing stopped her. “Can’t you tell? The Third Prince only has that fat girl in his heart. ”

Qin Yanran suddenly raised her voice and glared at him coldly. “You’re talking nonsense!”

Xu Qing’s expression did not change at all. “The Third Prince has known that fat girl since Qingzhou. She cured the Third Prince’s evil illness. The Third Prince is grateful to her for saving his life and gradually fell in love with her..”
