Chapter 238: Only Half of the Character Is Falling
Old man Shangguan spent a long time on the acupuncture. When he was done, little Yining's stomach growled a few times without any courtesy.
Although it was not abrupt, it still made the old man grin out loud, but he immediately stopped laughing and continued to put his hand on Kong Xingzhi's neck with a serious expression to feel his pulse.
Old man Shangguan slowly withdrew his hand, sighed softly, and said to Kong Xingwen, "Take good care of it. I applied 888 taels of tendon-repairing ointment to it, and combined with my acupuncture treatment that costs taels a day, it will take half a year for the tendon to recover. For the rest, you can let my grandson take care of it. He's cheap."
After hearing this, Xiao Yining quickly asked Cui Zhiyao in a low voice, "Sister Cui, didn't you say you wouldn't charge me?"
"My nephew wants to charge money." Cui Zhiyao replied with an awkward smile.
Xiao Yining: I thought old man Shangguan had become a kind-hearted doctor, but it turns out he is only half-kind!
Kong Xingwen hurriedly thanked him and whispered in his brother's ear, "Xingzhi, Xingzhi, did you hear me? Doctor Shangguan said your right hand is fine..."
Xingzhi?
Little Yining was slightly stunned when she heard the name. She vaguely remembered that her father had mentioned this name when talking to her uncle. She carefully looked at the unfortunate man who looked haggard on the bed. He really looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Pei Yi pulled Xiao Yining aside, blocked her view with a book, and gave her a warning look.
At this time, the man on the bed laughed nervously, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He laughed for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Nothing? How can nothing happen when those people ruin my career? Brother, it's them, definitely from Hanqiu Academy... They are jealous that the abbot looks at me differently, and that my essays are always top-notch, so they want to destroy my hand..."
Hatred burst out from Kong Xingzhi's eyes, and he roared like a devil, "I want them to pay with blood..."
Kong Xingwen's face under the mask was also full of sorrow. He held his brother tightly to prevent him from moving and causing bleeding. His eyes were full of hatred, and he said in a choked voice, "Xingzhi, I'm already investigating. I won't let anyone from Hanqiuyuan go. We will definitely get back what we owed him."
When little Yining heard the conversation between the two, she suddenly remembered the drama her uncle had talked about. She couldn't help but hide behind her fellow villager with a guilty conscience, holding on to his clothes tightly.
It shouldn't have been done by her father and uncle, don't they like to kill people by borrowing a knife?
Cui Zhiyao also cast his gaze on Xiao Yining. Seeing her frightened look, he said, "Master, my sister is hungry. I'll take her to eat."
Old man Shangguan gave her a strange look, then looked at Xiao Yining, waved his hand and said, "Ask Wenyuan to go across the street and bring back two delicious dishes. You two have lived a refined life and can't afford to eat simple meals."
"okay."
Cui Zhiyao brought the men out. She touched little Yining's hand and it was cold. She was obviously frightened by the two men in the house. She couldn't help but say with guilt, "I should have let sister Yining play in the yard. It's my fault for scaring you."
Xiao Yining shook her head and explained, "Sister Cui, I just heard the uncles and aunts mention that there are bad people in Hanqiuyuan, and I got scared."
Cui Zhiyao also frowned, thinking of what Xiao Yining had said to her before, and was worried about her. But she still comforted her, "Don't be afraid, didn't the adults inside say they are investigating? If they find the bad guys and bring them to justice, your father and uncle will be safe."
Xiao Yining: She was afraid that this person would seek revenge on her father and uncle, which would be terrible.
The Iron Eagle Guards always carry their knives with them. With a little practice, cutting hands is as easy as cutting tofu.
Pei Yi placed a bowl of rice in front of her and advised, "Qing Jie, don't think about it. When cousin and the others come back, we will remind them to be careful of the people around them."
Xiao Yining nodded. She could only do what she could now and there was no point in thinking too much.
She ate the food without any taste.
At this time, Old Man Shangguan came in after finishing his business. He glanced at the little girl's back and asked curiously, "Why, little girl, does your father also live in Hanqiu Courtyard?"
"Uncle-master, sister Yining's father and uncle both live there." Cui Zhiyao explained for little Yining.
Old man Shangguan nodded in understanding, sat down with a big horse and a golden sword, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry! I have superb medical skills. If anything happens to your father and uncle, I will definitely make them recover as before."
Everyone:...
Xiao Yining: This old man is really bad.
Shangguan Wenyuan blushed immediately and looked at his grandfather helplessly, "Grandpa...please put your mind at ease!"
The old man chuckled, then said seriously, "Little girl, since you have a connection with the people in Medicine Valley, you must build a good relationship with them. Their current valley master has the ability to reconnect severed limbs."
Xiao Yining was completely shocked.
冷府
Leng Shuyu knelt in front of his second uncle's coffin with bloodshot eyes, and his whole body was filled with sadness.
He is the eldest grandson of the Leng family and the only male of this generation. He will be the one to break the basin during the funeral in a few days.
Leng Qingyin walked behind him expressionlessly, smiled coldly and kicked him to the ground.
"I sent you to Yunfei Academy to improve your knowledge and expand your network. But you are like a woman, only knowing how to argue with others, and you even dare to send my people to do things for you!" Leng Qingyin's voice was icy cold, filled with deep disappointment and anger.
Madam Song Lanyin hurried forward to help her son up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with heartache, and cried, "You also know that our son has always been honest. If he hadn't been bullied severely, how could he have taught him a lesson? Our Leng Mansion has fallen, and we can't just step on everyone."
Leng Qingyin looked at the mother and son coldly, "A loving mother often spoils her son. If it weren't for you, how could he have become like this? Do you really think you can do whatever you want with an imperial decree of pardon?"
"The one above has been waiting for you to make a mistake. When all the ministers in the court report us, that will be the time to settle accounts with us."
Leng Shuyu endured the pain and admitted his mistake, "Dad, I won't do this again in the future."
"Now the whole of Yanjing is laughing at our Leng family. You must not make any mistakes, and you must not pass the handle to others. Your third uncle is a lesson for you." Leng Qingyin advised with a slightly relaxed expression.
Leng Shuyu nodded slightly, raised his eyes and looked towards the hall with coldness. His third uncle had been beaten to death by his father.
"Remember, our family is now living on the legacy of your grandfather. Before you get up, don't act recklessly."
"Yes." Leng Shuyu stared at his uncle closely, vowing to imprint his misery firmly in his mind.
