C140 (2/2)

With the support of a servant, the moment Ling Xiaosu lay down, the heaven defying official pushed open the door and entered.

Looking at Ling Xiaosu's pale face, he asked harshly, ”What happened?”

”Miss Ling, she … she … she …” She accidentally pulled on the wound on her waist. ”I-I helped her come back to rest.” The servant stuttered as if he was afraid of going against the will of the heavens.

”The wound on my waist. How did it do that?” He walked to Ling Xiaosu's bedside and sat down.

”This …” The servant didn't dare to reply and could only look down at the ground.

Ling Xiaosu frowned, ”The wound behind me is probably bleeding. Tell the servant to change it for me.”

Pain, it was too painful.

Originally the wound was almost healed, but after the torment, it split open again, and it was even more painful than before.

The heaven defying official took a deep breath as he stared at Ling Xiaosu. He then said to the servant behind him, ”Go and get the medicine. I'll change it.”

”Yes sir.” The servant let out a sigh of relief and left. Fortunately, the heaven defying official did not blame him.

After the servant had left, Ling Xiaosu said weakly, ”I accidentally broke a cup in the kitchen downstairs. When I was picking up the cup, I bent down and accidentally pulled the wound.”

What Ling Xiaosu didn't say was that the servant knocked him, causing the cup to shatter.

”Just let the servants clean up the broken cups. You don't need to take care of such trivial matters.” Looking at Ling Xiaosu's covered body, ”Let me have a look at your wounds.”

Ling Xiaosu could not bear the pain any longer. She lifted her blanket and pulled her clothes out a little, turning her back to the minister, ”Is it bleeding?”

The wound was indeed bleeding, and the gauze that was tightly wrapped around his waist had already been dyed red by the blood. Although it wasn't big, it was still a shocking sight to behold.

”Next time, don't do this again. Because of these trivial matters, what if there are more serious injuries in the future?”

Ling Xiaosu nodded.

It was really an accident this time. If it wasn't for the servant accidentally knocking her down and shattering the glass, she wouldn't have stooped down to pick it up.

More importantly, when the servants frowned and asked her if she was dissatisfied with something, Ling Xiaosu understood that the servant's purpose was to make the servants in the mansion dissatisfied with her, and to target her in every possible way.

What was the purpose of her actions? They had only met once last night.

Ling Xiaosu couldn't believe that such a huge enmity could exist between him and her just by meeting her once.

Before the servant could bring the medicine, Ling Xiaosu lifted her clothes awkwardly. After hesitating for a while, Ling Xiaosu wanted to put down the clothes, ”It's a little cold, I'll put them down first.”

”Don't move.” ”I'll help you remove the gauze, don't move!”

Ling Xiaosu struggled for a while before obediently pulling up her clothes. When her hands touched the skin on her back, Ling Xiaosu's face flushed red.

”You, you, what are you doing!” Ling Xiaosu shouted with a reddened face.

Since he was afraid of twisting his body and dragging the wound, Ling Xiaosu could only quickly put down the clothes. However, he was stopped by the hands of the heaven defying official.
