Chapter 1631 -1624: Exhausting Every Trick
Chu Xiaotian was interrupted by her, panting heavily, “Your clinic… What about your clinic! Su Yingxue, it’s all your fault! Han’er is Your Highness’s Princess, yet you actually facilitated her secret meeting with another man, have you ever thought about her?
Do you think that every woman in the Great Cheng Dynasty can be shameless like you?”
The mother of her, Su Yingxue, was Princess Shu Li, who could hold up the sky if it ever fell!
Her, Su Yingxue’s medical skills were exceptional and rare in the world, no one dared to speak ill of her!
But what about Su Han?
Could she be as reckless as Su Yingxue?
“I…”
Su Yingxue suddenly found herself at a loss for words, not knowing how to face Chu Xiaotian.
Distracted for a moment, a cool breeze came from behind, and she seemed to hear two ‘whooshing’ sounds!
“Ah!”
Su Yingxue was clasped around the waist and tumbled out through the door with a turn.
After seeing the person holding her, Su Yingxue’s eyes widened, “Ninth… Ninth Prince?”
Chu Yihan’s expression was icy as he pulled her up to stand firmly, his gaze sweeping over her, “Are you injured?”
Su Yingxue shook her head, “I’m fine.”
But the situation inside was not good. While Song Chengyi was distracted, Chu Xiaotian stabbed him, the blade piercing into his abdomen. Song Chengyi was bleeding profusely, now half-kneeling on the ground.
Su Han spread her arms in front of him, her eyes red and determinedly looking at Chu Xiaotian, “If you want to kill him, you’ll have to kill me first!”
“Su Han!” Each word Chu Xiaotian called out seemed to be ground out from between clenched teeth.
His sword tip dripping with blood pointed at Song Chengyi, “He is but an outsider! And Your Highness… is your hubby! You are Your Highness’s wife, admitted into the family registry, the Princess of Your Highness!”
He esteemed her so highly!
How could she, in front of him, protect another man with such intimacy?
What did she really take him for?
“You cannot kill him! If you hurt him a bit more, you’ll have to kill me first!”
Su Han went to grab the blade of his sword, Chu Xiaotian, fearing the sharp edge would hurt her, quickly threw the sword aside and helped her up, “Su Han, stop the foolishness!”
He was wrong!
He simply could not face Su Han like this!
Chu Xiaotian embraced Su Han, “Let’s return to the Manor! None of this has anything to do with you!”
He picked up Su Han, who looked back, her gaze lingering regretfully on Song Chengyi, “Chengyi! Chengyi… Yingxue, please save him!”
Su Yingxue naturally heard these words, but when she looked back at Song Chengyi, he had already fainted in a pool of blood.
Su Yingxue implored Chu Yihan, “Please help me lift him.”
She had to prepare a separate ward for Song Chengyi, to take good care of him.
One, for the sake of Su Han, and two, today’s incident must not be revealed, otherwise Su Han’s reputation would be completely ruined!
After helping Su Yingxue lift the man, Chu Yihan went downstairs, and Su Yingxue thought he had just left.
She then concentrated on treating Song Chengyi.
She stopped the bleeding on Song Chengyi’s wound, sutured it, and after finishing, she gave him medicine, telling him to lie down and not move.
She called for Manager Qi, instructing him to have someone watch over Song Chengyi, to take good care of him with utmost caution.
Manager Qi nodded, seemingly remembering something, reminded, “The Ninth Prince is still waiting below for Miss, aren’t you most anxious and concerned about the Ninth Prince? Please go down quickly!”
“What? He’s still downstairs?” This was quite a surprise to Su Yingxue.
After cleaning her hands, she slowly walked downstairs, her steps growing lighter.
Her heart felt sweet.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yihan would appear out of nowhere, and even more unexpectedly, he had waited for her for so long.
She came downstairs and saw Chu Yihan standing in the backyard.
She suppressed the urge to rush over and hug him, stopping in front of him, “Your Highness!”
Chu Yihan did not turn around, intentionally testing her reaction!
He wanted to see whether this woman was acting deliberately, had changed her tactics, or had truly become better.
Su Yingxue waited for a long time, but Chu Yihan did not respond.
She stepped forward, originally intending to poke him with her hand.
But before her fingers touched Chu Yihan, she felt the icy aura emanating from his body, and Su Yingxue honestly took a step back, clearing her throat, “Your Highness… are you waiting for me?”
Only then did Chu Yihan turn around to look at her.
In his hand, he held two fine needles, tiny needles, barely visible without close inspection.
A hint of confusion emerged in Su Yingxue’s eyes, “What is this…?”
There were still traces of blood on them, were they left in her clinic just now?
“When I arrived, I noticed you were in danger, these were shot by Song Chengyi,” Chu Yihan handed the tiny needles to her.
The needle might look inconspicuous, but if it silently pierces the body and enters a joint, it would cause excruciating pain.
He himself had not been spared from such torture in the past.
Su Yingxue instinctively thought, “Was he planning to use this to deal with Chu Xiaotian?”
Song Chengyi was indeed vastly inferior compared to Chu Xiaotian.
Chu Xiaotian, a member of the Imperial family and nobles, a Regional Prince with an important position in the court—his official rank was far higher than that of Song Chengyi, who was of commoner birth. In terms of status among men, there was almost no comparison to Chu Xiaotian.
That’s also why, initially, her uncle had resolutely married Su Han to Chu Xiaotian and not to Song Chengyi.
However, Song Chengyi truly admired Su Han. In the two years since Su Han married, he had not taken a wife, loyally waiting all this while.
Chu Yihan spoke in a cold voice, “If he attacks Chu Xiaotian, Your Highness will not intervene.”
He had joined the fray directly for fear that the two needles would hurt Su Yingxue.
“What do you mean by this, Your Highness?”
Su Yingxue had not yet understood when Chu Yihan already walked away.
His departure was so decisive.
That retreating figure was cold and unfeeling!
Su Yingxue sat in the clinic for a long time before she realized a possibility, Song Chengyi intended to harm her!
If she were injured, and the news reached her mother’s ears, with Chu Xiaotian causing a disturbance at her clinic and even injuring her, Chu Xiaotian would definitely face severe consequences!
Knowing her mother’s temperament, anyone who harmed her would be dealt with ruthlessly, receiving a fate worse than she suffered!
One look at Chu Yihan was enough to know!
Su Yingxue suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and her hairs stood on end.
Could the man her sister Su Han loved be so calculative and scheming?
It was terrifying upon reflection!
And after she returned to the Marquis’s Manor, Long Shuli still found out about the incident.
However, since Long Shuli saw that she was unharmed, she did not say much, only asking indifferently, “Do you really have to get involved with the affairs of Su Han and Song Chengyi?”
Su Yingxue smacked her lips, not sure what to reply, when a man’s deep and displeased voice came from behind, “Does mother intend to let all the ladies of Marquis’s Manor bear the same reputation as her?”
Su Hao barged in with long strides.
He had no intention of meddling in Su Yingxue’s trivial matters, but he could not stand by and watch the reputation of all the ladies at Marquis’s Manor being tarnished by Su Yingxue!
The way he looked at Su Yingxue was also extremely cold.
“Brother…” Su Yingxue called out to him.
