C305 (1/2)

The little girl's face was still tear-stained, and her face had gone from one side to the other until it was dark. She seemed to be frightened to the point that her whole body was covered in sweat. Trembling, she pushed away the hair stuck to her forehead. It was only after seeing that she looked exactly the same as Minister Hu did Ye Qing recognize her. It was Minister Hu's daughter, Hu Ning!

How could the daughter of the Shang Shu Manor fall to such a state?

”Tower Lord Ye.” Hu Ning wiped away his tears and greeted Ye Qing.

She was really scared. Her pale lips were suffused with an abnormal purple glow.

Ye Qingxin's heart unexpectedly softened. She took out a green handkerchief from her sleeve, dipped it in water and handed it to her to wipe her face.

”Why isn't Miss Hu going to the stable?” Ye Qing intentionally lowered her voice and asked, ”Madam Hu and Second Miss are over there.”

However, when Hu Ning heard the news about Madam Hu and Hu Rong, he shook his head furiously and backed off, ”No, I won't go over. ”I'm afraid …”

Scared? Ye Qing was surprised.

Could it be that the rumors were true, that Madam Hu had treated her as a concubine?

It is well-known that Shang Shu and his wife do not like the daughter born from a concubine, but they always care about face and good to me and everyone else. Moreover, Madam Hu was famous for being quiet. It was hard for anyone to believe that she would do something so outrageous.

In the face of Ye Qing's astonishment, Hu Ning had a relaxed expression on his face, as if he had just survived a calamity. She faltered timidly and did not dare mention the deceitful schemes. Her hands trembled a little inside her sleeves. She lifted her skirt and turned to run away, but there seemed to be some injury on her ankle. Her palm-sized face was scrunched up into a frown.

Seeing that she was in so much pain that tears were rolling down her face, Ye Qing took the initiative to invite her onto the horse. ”Where are you going? I shall send you on your way. ”

Hu Ning refused even more, and she kept shaking her head and desperately waving her hands to refuse. ”No, no, no, I'm not going anywhere. ”Tower Lord Ye, you don't need to care about me …”

Her voice trailed off, and finally she began to sob again.

Ye Qing really did not have the experience of coaxing this girl, so he had a headache. After all, he couldn't just leave them alone. So what if he wanted to coax them?

”You, don't cry!”

Ye Qing was flustered by her crying and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears away.

”I'm so scared!” he cried, taking a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handing it to Ye Qing. I saw... He saw an attendant … The servant sprinkled the medicinal powder inside the grass. ”

”He saw me …” We got tangled up a few times and he hit a rock... ”

The more Hu Ning spoke, the more scared he became. His lips turned from a light purple to a deep purple as he held his chest and gasped heavily.

He waited for Hu Ning to calm down before gradually getting better. She leaned weakly against Ye Qing's horse, sobbing helplessly.

Ye Qing gripped the porcelain bottle, his expression unfathomable. He felt that something was off. Something was wrong...

”Where is the person you were talking about?”

Hu Ning pointed deep into the grass with his trembling finger.
