Seeing her determination, Su Yingxue administered two needles to both of Su Han’s legs to prevent her from moving and risking injury to her wounds.
However, due to Su Han being a woman, she refrained from using excessive force. She planned to administer an anesthetic directly when Su Han started experiencing unbearable pain.
She glanced at Saint Ruan and subtly blinked her peach-blossom eyes, signaling that she understood. Su Yingxue signaled to him to be ready to administer the medicine to Su Han whenever necessary.
The two continued with the surgery on Su Han.
Outside the door, the situation remained at a standstill. Chu Xiaotian was infuriated. He called out to Su Han multiple times, but she showed no response.
He turned to Su Dingwei and said, “Father-in-law, if you insist on this, don’t blame me for taking action against you.”
Qin Wan had never expected that Chu Xiaotian, whom she had seen as a talented person, would be so rude. “Your Highness, General Su is your father-in-law. Though his official position and family background may not match yours, how dare you behave !”
“Madam, don’t be afraid.”
Su Dingwei called Qin Wan’s maid and instructed her, “Zhifen, assist Madam to the outside of the medicine hut. Ensure she isn’t distressed!”
Zhifen promptly helped Qin Wan out.
Both Zhifen and Zhilan were maids in the Marquis’s Manor, possessing a knowledge and demeanor distinct from ordinary servants.
Zhifen, concerned about the ongoing confrontation, urged, “Sister Zhilan, now that the general is confronting Your Highness, can our Marquis’s Manor withstand it?”
Zhilan, with a hint of gravity in her expression, responded, “Although Miss has some supporters, it’s uncertain if she can assist the general. To mobilize the Marquis’s Manor private troops, we need the Marquis’s orders!”
With Su Dingheng having no active role and being confined by Su Yingxue, the responsibility fell upon Su Yingxue.
“For such a significant matter, Sister Zhilan, you should consult Miss first.” Zhifen expressed her worry.
Zhilan nodded and asked her to protect Qin Wan. She stayed in the side hall of the courtyard next door and quietly went to the door of the medicine hut.
Outside the door, Su Dingwei and Chu Xiaotian had already engaged in a physical confrontation. The situation was extremely tense.
Zhilan called out from outside the door,
“Miss, 1 seek your guidance on whether we should inquire if the Marquis will send soldiers to assist General Su.”
Su Yingxue had just finished dealing with the third worm. The sweat on her forehead kept falling. Her eyes were focused on her surgery on Su Han. She instructed, “Go find my father and send the guards in the residence to the medicine hut. Ensure the medicine hut is guarded!”
Zhilan responded, “Yes, I will go immediately!”
Saint Ruan wiped Su Yingxue’s sweat and questioned, “Why is mobilizing the soldiers so troublesome? Isn’t your assassin Zi Wei here? Let him out, and he can deal with Chu Xiaotian.”
“Zi Wei is protecting us on the roof.” Su Yingxue could sense Zi Wei’s presence.
Before entering the medicine hut, Zi Wei had informed her that there were human auras around the hut and that he would staunchly protect her.
At this moment, she, Su Han, and Saint Ruan were under Zi Wei’s protection. He couldn’t afford to be distracted.
Saint Ruan glanced upward but couldn’t see where Zi Wei was.
However, he couldn’t comprehend it. “Why is Zi Wei protecting us? Could there still be people daring to act against you in the Marquis’s Manor?”
Su Yingxue, concentrating on her hands, calmly responded, “If my enemies take advantage of the chaos to attack, not only could they harm me, but they could also shift the blame for my cousin’s life onto the Marquis’s Manor. Both the Marquis’s Manor and I would be in trouble.”
“D*mn?” Saint Ruan was slightly stunned. “That’s ruthless.”
Nevertheless, he admired Su Yingxue even more.. “You can even sense this? Not bad! Your mind doesn’t lose to your mother!”
