He had never paid attention to the affairs of the inner courtyard before because Su Han had always handled them well.
Min Jia’s temperament was such that she would only occasionally engage in minor mischief.
But now, she had resorted to murder!
Min Jia frantically rolled her eyes. “Brother, what are you saying? Who taught me… No one taught me!”
“No?” Chu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. “If not, where did the maggots in your lotus pond come from? Who taught you such insidious methods as pricking your fingers with silver needles? And… Who told you to mobilize the elites in the Regional Prince’s Mansion?”
“No! There was no one! Brother, if you don’t believe me, you might as well hand me over to Lord Liang! Anyway, I’m now a cripple with a broken leg. No one will want me in the future! If Brother thinks I’m a burden, just chase me out as soon as possible!”
Min Jia was very flustered, reciting these words as if from a script. Chu Xiaotian, who had been suspicious, could not continue.
His face darkened. “I’m warning you. If you don’t want anything to happen, don’t believe the words of those crafty people. Be a good county lord. In the future, brother will find you a good marriage. Otherwise, no one can protect you!”
Min Jia kept her head down, not daring to look at her brother’s expression, afraid he would see through her.
Although Chu Xiaotian had left, he still sent servants to carry her back.
As soon as she returned to her room, Min Jia chased all the servants away.
She was waiting for Su Jinxuan.
Su Jinxuan was the one who had taught her the words she had used to deal with Chu Xiaotian and dispel his doubts. Otherwise, she would not have been able to hide from her brother and would have been discovered.
However, Su Jinxuan didn’t come to see her as usual when she waited until dawn.
In the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, Su Yingxue woke up early to change Su Han’s dress. Her medicine was much more effective than ordinary medicine. In just one day, all the hideous wounds on Su Han’s body were healing.
Su Yingxue wrapped a small wooden stick around Su Han’s finger and comforted her gently. “Sister’s hand is seriously injured, but it will recover after some rest. Don’t worry.”
Su Han smiled but didn’t say anything.
Su Miaoyan sat beside Su Han with a smile on her face, holding a smile, and blinked strangely. “Sister Han, 1 heard that ten fingers are connected to the heart. When you were injured, didn’t it hurt? Why is there no sound when applying medicine now? When 1 fell off my horse and scraped my skin, I would cry out in pain every time medicine was applied.”
Su Yingxue took the time to scratch Su Miaoyan’s nose. “Because you’re still a little girl. We are all adults. How can we be like you?”
Su Miaoyan instantly pouted unhappily. “How am I small? I’m almost thirteen years old. Mother said that in two years, I’ll be coming of age to discuss marriage!”
“You’re already thinking about marriage at such a young age? Don’t tell me you even have a sweetheart?” Su Yingxue’s eyes revealed a trace of mischief.
Su Miaoyan’s face instantly turned red. “Sister Xue, you… How dare you joke with me ! I’m going to complain to Grandpa!”
Su Miaoyan and Su Yingxue were in a mess, and the medicine hut was filled with their laughter.
Su Han couldn’t help but smile when she saw them trying so hard to make her happy.
Her delicate little face was still injured, but her smile was like a lotus flower blooming, beautiful to behold..
