Chapter 434 The mere second young lady, I'll give way (5)
Li Juntian, a scholar, was so frightened by Su Dingding that he didn't dare to breathe.
His mind was filled with the woman he used to love, with whom he used to compose poetry and appreciate flowers; she seemed to have vanished.
He was stunned for a long time before he heard his attendants calling him.
Su Dingding had long since disappeared, while Xiao Qian lay limply on his horse, unconscious.
"Young master, hurry and find a doctor for General Xiao, or he may lose his life."
"Go quickly," Li Juntian ordered.
He returned to the carriage, but his heart was still unsettled.
If he had had the courage to tell his parents about his feelings for Xiao Yuhu, would the ending have been different?
He didn't like Li Caihui; that woman seemed gentle, but she was just an empty shell.
Not only was she less attractive than Xiao Yuhu, but she also didn't understand him.
Unfortunately, it seems he has lost Xiao Yuhu forever.
Because she's gone mad.
Xiao Qianhe was sent to the clinic, where the doctors all shook their heads. All the bones in his body were broken; even if he didn't die, he would be a cripple.
Left with no other choice, Li Juntian could only send someone to deliver a message to Consort Xiao.
Now, the last hope lies with the imperial physicians in the palace.
Consort Xiao is, after all, Xiao Qianhe's sister; there's no way she wouldn't save him.
After consulting with the imperial physicians, they also frowned and sighed, lamenting the loss of such a young general.
"It's just a broken bone, it can be set, how can it be incurable?" Consort Xiao couldn't accept it.
"Your Majesty, some of the bones have been shattered into powder and cannot be put back together. The general is ruined."
"I think it's your incompetence that's the problem; you're all useless!" Consort Xiao roared in fury.
Xiao Qianhe is the only male heir of the Xiao family. Although she is the emperor's favorite concubine, her position is also in jeopardy if the Xiao family declines.
Even a concubine with no vested interests faces immense difficulties in the palace.
So, Consort Xiao went to the Emperor and cried, on the one hand to seek justice for the Xiao family and find a famous doctor for Xiao Qianhe, and on the other hand to throw the culprit Xiao Yuhu into the imperial prison!
The emperor quickly issued an edict.
The Xiao family moved into the villa, and Li Caihui took advantage of Li Juntian's visit to pretend to be aggrieved and throw herself into his arms.
Li Juntian held the fragrant and soft woman in his arms, his face turning red to the roots of his ears.
"Caihui, although we are engaged, we are not married. It would be inappropriate for others to see this."
“Brother Juntian, she’ll be yours sooner or later. She’ll marry no one but you in this life. Why do you keep avoiding her?” Li Caihui hugged Li Juntian tightly, her lips deliberately brushing against his cheek.
Li Juntian's body stiffened instantly.
He and Xiao Yuhu had always treated each other with respect since childhood, and had never been overly intimate.
Seeing Lee Chae-hye's alluring yet shy eyes, he ultimately couldn't resist the temptation.
After the two kissed, things escalated beyond control.
After tasting the forbidden fruit, Li Caihui nestled in Li Juntian's arms, knowing that she had found her lifelong support.
Li Juntian felt a pang of regret, feeling sorry for Xiao Yuhu.
I was too impulsive just now. How could I do something so outrageous? It's utterly disgraceful.
He dressed in shame, leaving behind the words, "I will definitely take responsibility for you," before departing.
Li Caihui didn't care whether Li Juntian loved her or not; all she wanted was a life of luxury.
So what if she's a wet nurse's daughter? She can still reach the pinnacle of life!
Su Dingding was walking confidently down the street with ten strings of candied hawthorns in her hand when she suddenly heard a soldier call her name.
Turning around, Su Dingding saw them surrounding her and frowned. Were they going to steal her candied hawthorn?
That won't work!
"Catch her!"
"You can't catch me, but this Miss Xiao can fly..." Su Dingding spun around and flew directly onto the roof.
"Get down!"
"You think I'll come down just because you tell me to? Why should I listen to you? You're not my grandma." Su Dingding rolled her eyes and hopped and skipped across the rooftop.
The soldiers who were about to capture him could only look up at him while they went to find a ladder and call for reinforcements.
Only a master who can scale walls and leap across rooftops could catch her.
Several soldiers climbed onto the roof using ladders, only to see Su Dingding leap onto the roof on the other side.
They had to climb down and move the ladder to the other side.
Just as they were about to climb up, they saw Su Dingding flying back with a grin.
"Xiao Yuhu, don't be too smug!"
"I'm not only smug, I'm proud too! So what? Hehehe..." Su Dingding took a big bite of the candied hawthorn. "I'm not letting you have any, I'll make you all drool!"
Gangzi sat on Su Dingding's shoulders, looking utterly hopeless.
The host suddenly lost his intelligence again, without any warning or preparation.
It asked countless times, and Su Dingding asked it countless times in return, "Am I not cute anymore? Don't you like me anymore? Do you regret becoming my little master? Am I no longer your favorite host?"
Sigh, she's my own host, I'll spoil her even if it kills me, as long as she's happy.
“Gangzi, there seem to be little bugs on the hawthorns on this candied hawthorn skewer…” Su Dingding suddenly said unhappily.
"Let me see," Gangzi glanced at it and immediately said, "I'm not eating it anymore, I'll go buy you something new."
"I don't want candied hawthorn anymore, I want osmanthus cake!" Su Dingding shouted.
"Okay, I'll go buy you osmanthus cake." Gangzi quickly scrambled away.
Su Dingding looked at the candied hawthorns that had dampened her spirits and threw them at the people who wanted to catch her.
"This young lady, Xiao, is giving you a treat!"
In an instant, several soldiers had a candied hawthorn stick stuck in their ears, or in their nostrils, and one even had it stuck to his forehead.
The force was quite strong, and they screamed in pain.
Su Dingding was about to leave in displeasure when suddenly several experts attacked her.
They were all very good at light footwork, and they could walk on the rooftops as if they were on flat ground.
"I'm out of candied hawthorns," Su Dingding raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked loudly, "Did word get out that I had osmanthus cakes so quickly?"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Several top-ranking imperial guards raised their swords and thrust, all with deadly moves.
Consort Xiao's order to them was to kill without mercy!
After all, her younger sister was still young when she got married, so they didn't have much of a relationship.
After hearing about what she had done, Consort Xiao also hated this imposter sister so much that she decided to kill her.
Unfortunately, these people were no match for Su Dingding.
Su Dingding kicked them all down, one after another.
In the middle of the road, several top imperial guards were stacked into a human pyramid.
"I, Miss Xiao, am the Emperor's eldest daughter. You lowly creatures, you should consider the owner before beating a dog!"
Gangzi happened to return and, upon hearing this, shook his head helplessly. "The host's brain really doesn't hold back when it comes to scolding me."
Su Dingding also realized what was happening and immediately leaped down, angrily kicking several of the imperial guards several times.
"You're the dogs!"
Several top-tier imperial guards wore bitter expressions; they hadn't said a word...
