Chapter 3
Although Su Yingxue was the first daughter of the Marquis’s family, she was usually very poor. Her clothes and accessories, as long as they were expensive enough to catch people’s attention, were all taken away by Su Yurou. She, who had always relied on Su Yurou to be respected by her father, never cared.
Moreover, Su Yurou often framed her and she would get beaten up by the Old Master. She didn’t know if these medicines would be enough in the future.
Zhilan’s words made Su Yingxue feel even more foolish. She gave the entire bottle of medicine to Zhilan and said in a calm tone, “Keep this bottle for yourself. We won’t run out of medicine in the future.”
“Miss, you…” Zhilan was excited and agitated. Su Yingxue’s actions today were completely different from her past self.
However, she was also worried about her falling into Su Yurou’s trap if she came to deceive her again.
Su Yingxue could tell that this girl was worried about her, but it was inconvenient for her to tell her too much. She asked her about an important matter, “How’s Big Brother’s injury? Has there been any news from the courtyard?”
Zhilan’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. “The Eldest Young Master is wary of the Old Master and Second Miss. The people in the courtyard have always been tight-lipped, but yesterday, when I saw Shu Yan, who followed the Eldest Young Master, send the military doctor out, his expression was solemn. I think Eldest Young Master’s injuries are not light.”
Speaking of which, Su Hao’s injury was also related to Su Yingxue.
Originally, Su Hao’s competition would be held in a while, and the position of General Xiao Wei would definitely belong to him. However, she was deceived by Su Yurou and gave Su Hao a bowl of soup that Su Yurou had prepared.
Su Yurou said that it was ginseng tonic, but she didn’t expect it to be poisoned.
Su Hao was a cautious person. He would never eat anything that his father and Su Yurou gave him, but he was not guarded against his sister.
However, it was this bowl of soup that she gave that almost took Su Hao’s life!
Su Yingxue’s heart ached just thinking about it. Su Hao was her biological brother from the same mother and had doted on her since she was young. How could she be so stupid as to let Su Yurou harm him!
Just for that pitiful and impossible fatherly love and sisterhood?
It was ridiculous!
“Bang bang!”
There was a knock on the door, and Su Yingxue quickly restrained her expression.
After Zhilan opened the door, she found Shu Yan. She was about to say that Miss was concerned about the Eldest Young Master’s injuries when Shu Yan threw her a blade of grass and said coldly, “The eldest young master gave it to that idiot to treat her external injuries!”
This was Su Yingxue’s place. Other than Zhilan, there was only Su Yingxue. Zhilan immediately frowned. “Who are you calling an idiot!”
“Tell me who’s the stupid one?”
“You!”
Zhilan was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn’t want to ruin the relationship between Su Yingxue and Su Hao, so she turned around and smiled. “Miss, quickly take a look at what this is! Eldest Young Master asked Shu Yan to send it over to treat your injuries. It must be good medicinal herbs!”
Su Yingxue pinched the Blood Clotting Grass, and her eyes were filled with tears. In her previous life, because her big brother did not use the Blood Clotting Grass to heal his injuries, he was secretly harmed by Su Jinxuan in the martial arts competition. He had several broken ribs and even lost his position as General Xiao Wei.
He always gave her the best, but she always hurt him and let him down.
Su Yingxue wiped the corners of her eyes and entered Medicine King Valley with her eyes closed. She picked a few stalks of Blood Clotting Grass and added some rare herbs to make two bottles of healing ointment, intending to send it to Su Hao.
Su Hao’s courtyard was close to his grandfather’s. There was a gilded plaque with the words “Ling Xiao Garden” inscribed by the Emperor. A young and famous general should have been heroic, but because of her, he lay here recuperated.
Su Yingxue had already felt guilty a million times in her heart.
She took the medicine and entered the courtyard. The manservants guarding the courtyard looked as if they had seen a ghost. There were even people holding sticks to guard against her, afraid that she would harm Su Hao again.
Su Yingxue ignored their actions and walked towards Su Hao’s bedroom.
Shu Yan had received the news and had already raised his sword at the entrance to block the path to Su Hao.
When he saw Su Yingxue, Shu Yan’s face turned cold and his eyes were filled with disgust. “Eldest Young Master is asleep. He’s not here. Get lost!”
Su Yingxue lowered her head. Shu Yan was only so annoyed with her because he was loyal to her brother. Her tone was filled with guilt. “I’m just here to see my brother. Please go and ask my brother if he’s willing to see me.”
Shu Yan snorted coldly.
He usually hated Su Yingxue the most. As Su Hao’s sister, she had been brainless since she was young. As long as Su Hao didn’t look after her, she would be instigated by Su Yurou. However, after Su Hao grew up, he had more things to do. He had to learn literature, practice martial arts, and fight on the battlefield. How could he look after her all the time?
Su Hao hadn’t been back for a few years, and Su Yingxue had been turned into a slave by Su Yurou. She listened to everything in the courtyard. Not only did she not get close to Su Hao, but she also helped Su Yurou and her brother to harm him several times.
Shu Yan wanted to pry open Su Yingxue’s brain and see what color paste was inside.
At this moment, even if Su Yingxue said that she was here to see Su Hao, Shu Yan did not believe it.
He rolled his eyes. “Our Eldest Young Master can’t accept your kindness. Who knows what kind of poison you’re bringing to him again!”
Su Yingxue clenched her fists and said in a low voice, “I won’t harm my brother. If he’s hurt in the slightest, you can do whatever you want to me.”
The determination in her eyes was shocking.
Shu Yan was greatly shocked. Su Yingxue was usually arrogant and despotic. What kind of underhanded trick was she playing now?
Just as he was thinking about what to do, a weak voice came from the room. “Shu Yan, let her in.”
“Brother…”
This warm and mellow voice made Su Yingxue’s eyes tear up.
She pushed open the door impatiently. The room was filled with the smell of medicine and the smell of blood.
Su Hao must have been injured badly and lost a lot of blood!
Su Yingxue quickly ran to the bed. Su Hao struggled to sit up, but when he saw Su Yingxue, he forced a smile. “Sister, you’re here.”
“Brother…” Su Yingxue approached with tears in her eyes. The moment she held Su Hao’s hand, she felt that her rebirth was so real.
Her gaze swept past his handsome eyebrows, his beautiful eyes, and the love in his eyes. It was as if strands of intertwined light enveloped her.
Su Yingxue took out the ointment, and her eyes were filled with apology. “Brother, you’re so seriously injured, yet you still gave me the Blood Clotting Grass. This is a ointment I made with the Blood Clotting Grass. Take it and use it. Your injuries will heal faster.”
“But what about your injuries?” Su Hao frowned, and a trace of worry appeared on his handsome face. “If I didn’t hear it so late, I definitely wouldn’t have let Father hit you again. This Blood Clotting Grass is very good at healing external injuries. Sister, you can go back and heal yourself. I’m fine.”
Su Hao’s heart ached and he was sad. His blood surged and he immediately coughed heavily.
“Brother, you’re seriously injured and you still say it’s fine? I’m not hurt. Besides, I’ve already applied medicine. Look.” Su Yingxue rolled up her sleeves. The bruise on her fair and slender arm had already mostly dissipated. The effect of the Blood Clotting Grass was extremely good.
Su Hao held her arm, but anger surged in his heart. “Father can’t tell right from wrong. He’s too much!”
