”How is it?” Seeing Shui Qinan's tired expression, Nangong Jin's heart sank a little. He looked around the room, the air was still reeking of blood, probably because ….
”It's fine, as long as you do your best.” The protector saw that Shui Qinan did not say anything and comforted him.
Xu saw that Shui Qinan was in a slightly sorry state as she came out, but now she did not say a word, feeling pleased in her heart. This Wood Eager Pearl was not an ordinary being, and was not something that could be touched easily.
Xu suppressed the joy in her heart and said, ”Thank you, Miss Shui, for coming here for nothing. I already know if National Duke has …”
Shui Qinan did not care about the Xu, and said to the protector of the nation: ”National Duke's blood flow has stopped, so it should be fine!”
Hearing Shui Qinan's words, Xu was astonished, and subconsciously replied: ”How is that possible?” Suddenly, the Xu noticed the shrewd look in the Imperial Protector's eyes and the expression on Shui Qinan's face, and she immediately stopped herself from speaking. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The brocade handkerchief in her hand was about to be punctured by her fingers.
Shui Qinan looked at the abnormality of the Xu and laughed coldly in her heart. ”Lady Xu, why do I feel like you're very disappointed?”
Shui Qinan's words were like a sharp sword that pierced Xu's heart. Xu nervously glanced at the Duke Protector, concealing the hatred in her heart towards Shui Qinan, and laughed, ”Miss Shui, why do you say that? ”My father-in-law is fine. As her wife, how could I be disappointed? I'm not even happy yet!”
When Xu said these words, she subconsciously glanced at the Imperial Protector's expression, and discovered that he still had a cold and dignified appearance. He secretly cursed in his heart, Smelly old man, you actually put on such an expression for me to see. However, she didn't dare be disrespectful in front of the protector of the Kingdom, so she could only continue to smile at Shui Qinan, ”Miss Shui, you saved my father-in-law, if you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to look for me.”
Shui Qinan laughed as she looked at Xu, although she was smiling, her eyes were filled with ice, ”Lady Xu, with your help, I will not be able to receive any good fortune.”
Shui Qinan looked at the unwillingness and hatred in Xu's eyes, laughed, and turned to speak to the Duke of Heavenly Protector and Nangong Jin, ”Do you guys want to go in and see National Duke?”
The Imperial Protector nodded without thinking, Shui Qinan smiled and said, ”Go in.” Xu took a deep breath behind Shui Qinan. Since this was the National Duke Palace, she, Shui Qinan, would act like a master.
Soon after, Nangong Jin and Xu also went in. Shui Qinan looked at Xu with cold eyes. Before long, the few of them came out, and Shui Qinan leisurely sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, holding onto a cup of tea and savoring her taste. Her gaze instantly fell on Xu's body, and when she fiercely returned the greeting, she boringly turned her gaze away.
The Imperial Protector felt much better after seeing the National Duke in his room, ”Girl, you really know how to enjoy life.”
Shui Qinan stood up and said to the Imperial Protector in a bland voice, ”Since the National Duke is fine, then we can leave.”
But when Xu went in, she was shocked to find that the Wood Eager Pearl had truly disappeared. This Shui Qinan had snatched away the Wood Eager Pearl, she wished for nothing more than to kill her. However, she could not publicly face Shui Qinan, and could only smile as she said, ”Miss Shui, if you are able to cure National Duke, then you are the benefactor of our house. Come over to play when you are free.” After Xu said this, she added in her heart, if you come here, I'll make sure you won't be able to return!
