Han Yucheng, who was following behind, came in quickly. When he saw his father in the hall as well, he bowed to them respectfully: “Father, Uncle Ruan.” After he greeted them, he couldn’t help but look at Ruan Qiuxue.

“Yucheng, what’s going on?” His father asked calmly.

“This…” Han Yucheng hesitated as he didn’t know what to say.

“Father, my hand hurts. My hand was injured by someone. It really hurts.” Ruan Qiuxue’s face was covered in tears. At this moment, she didn’t have the bearing of a noble family’s daughter but was complaining to her father like a little girl.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Ruan looked down and saw her hand shaking. He shouted immediately: “Someone! Hurry up and bring the doctor here!”

“Yucheng, you were accompanying Qiuxue, how did her hand get injured by someone? Who hurt her?” Patriarch Ruan asked calmly, obviously holding back his anger.

“Yes, it was a girl.” Han Yucheng said: “But the situation isn’t what you think. It was Qiuxue who sneak attacked the other party first, so the girl retaliated.”

Upon hearing this, displeasure showed on Patriarch Ruan’s face and he lectured: “Yucheng, we are discussing your marriage now. Even if it’s not successful, you accompanied Qiuxue to go out today and she was bullied. It’s fine that you didn’t stand up for her, but how can you speak for the other party? If you do this, how can Qiuxue hold her head high?”

“I…” He moved his lips, not knowing what to say, and he looked at his father.

After hearing what his son had to say, Patriarch Han thought to himself: So it turned out that she had plotted against someone first. Although it was not an honourable thing to plot against someone, it wasn’t an easy topic to discuss. So, he didn’t say much else and scolded his son.

“Yucheng, you are at fault. It’s not just that we are discussing your marriage, but you are a man, how can you allow Qiuxue to get hurt when you go out with her? Uncle Ruan is right, you shouldn’t have let it happen.”

Having said that, he chuckled and said to Ruan Qiuxue: “Qiuxue, don’t cry anymore. Uncle will give him a good lecture when we go home. Right now, the most important thing is to let the doctor take a look at your hand.”

“Patriarch.”

An old man came into the hall with a medicine box on his back. He was the mansion’s doctor, and also a pharmacist. When he heard that Third Young Miss’ hand had been injured, and that the Patriarch had asked him to go over, he put down the matters at hand and rushed over.

“It’s good that you are here. Hurry up and take a look at Qiuxue’s hand. I saw her shaking when she came into the hall.” Patriarch Ruan said, and motioned for him to come forward.

“Yes.” The old man came forward and asked Ruan Qiuxue to sit down, then he felt her pulse. After he examined her, he couldn’t help but frown.

“How is it?” Patriarch Ruan asked worriedly.

Ruan Qiuxue bit her lip and looked at the old man feeling a little uneasy.

“Third Young Miss, your hand wasn’t injured was it?” The old man asked.

“No, I was pierced by a silver needle here. I pulled it out when I came back.” Ruan Qiuxue pointed to the place where the silver needle had pierced her hand.

The old man shook his head and sighed softly: “It seems that the person who used the silver needle is a highly skilled exponent who is very proficient in acupuncture points in the human body! Her acupuncture point has been injured and there is nothing I can do to heal Third Young Miss’ hand.”
