Chapter 1377: Chapter 13 Defeat (13)

Fortunately, the confrontation did not last long before the arrival of Princess Consort Wei broke the current situation.

"Oh! What happened here? You all..."

With a noble and charming smile on her face, Princess Consort Wei entered the parlor and seemed slightly surprised as she looked at the miserable state of the three people, raising her eyebrows in astonishment. However, she quickly regained her composure and then smiled.

"Earlier, the Manager had a minor issue to discuss with me, which caused a bit of delay. I heard Shuang’er was injured, so I hurried over. It seems all three of you have been seriously hurt!"

Her words made Qin Shuan’er ashamedly lower her head.

"I am grateful for your concern, Your Highness. It was my fault for being careless and falling. They...they were both trying to save me and got hurt accidentally..."

Qin Shuan’er guiltily glanced at Su Ke and Zhang Zhongding.

"I’m...I’m fine!"

Zhang Zhongding grimaced, covering a bruised and swollen face while insisting he was okay, though unconvincingly.

"I’m really fine, I just accidentally took a spill, and that’s how I ended up like this. Truly, I’m fine!"

He smiled brightly, and sneakily glanced at Su Ke.

Right now, his injuries were merely superficial, but they served as a reminder to everyone of their origin for the day.

Dare to compete with him, Zhang Zhongding, for a woman?

Humph!

He didn’t even consider his own capabilities!

Su Ke remained silent.

Only holding his chest, coughing, his hand inside his sleeve clenched into a fist.

The Doctor arrived quickly.

Perhaps knowing that it was a woman who was injured, they sent an old Doctor with entirely white hair, who was assisted by a Medicine Woman in examining the situation.

"How could the injuries be this severe?"

Upon seeing the injuries, the doctor immediately frowned, "Injury upon injury, then another injury, do you no longer want this leg?"

The Senior Doctor was blunt in his speech, showing no mercy.

This left all three present lowering their heads, unable to speak.

Especially Qin Shuan’er, who was extremely embarrassed!

The Senior Doctor spoke swiftly and was also quick with his procedures. As he talked, he slightly moved the hand holding the dislocated ankle, and with a crisp snap, Qin Shuan’er screamed nonstop.

Fortunately, the bone was finally back in place.

"Doctor, do you think her foot... will be fine?"

Princess Consort Wei asked anxiously.

"Luckily, she encountered me, so naturally, it will be fine."

The Senior Doctor methodically proceeded with the follow-up procedures, applying a plaster, setting it, and then he stood up to wash his hands before beginning to write out the prescription.

"Your ankle sprain is quite severe. Use ice packs for a day first, and remember to take the prescription I wrote. An ankle injury is not trivial, if it’s not properly healed, it will cause you trouble when you’re older!"

Everyone was silent until the Senior Doctor left, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Princess Consort Wei smiled and looked at Zhang Zhongding with an exceptionally kind smile, "Master Zhang, your face seems to be quite severely injured, are you sure you don’t need the Doctor to take a look?"

"Really, there’s no need, they’re just minor injuries, nothing troublesome."

Zhang Zhongding waved his hands repeatedly, declining the kind offer.

What a joke!

He hoped these injuries would stay a couple more days! Why would he want them treated by the Doctor?

Princess Consort Wei nodded her head in regret, then turned to Su Ke, "Lord Su, don’t you need the doctor to take a look? After all, the doctor already has the prescription ready."

"No need. I’m fine!"

Su Ke replied dryly, turning his head to the side.

Princess Consort Wei was well aware of the situation at hand, seemingly persuading the two, but deep down, she was overjoyed.

She could not help but exchange pleasantries with the three and offered them hospitality, arranging their temporary residences before she finally left contentedly.

Su Ke initially wanted to take Qin Shuan’er away directly, but given that her foot was injured and difficult to move, there was no reason to leave at the moment. Furthermore, her ankle needed to be iced, and the ice cellar in Prince Wei’s villa made it more convenient.

When it was time to ice her ankle, Shuan’er did not allow the others to stay, driving them out with the excuse of "The necessity for men and women not to be too close."

As she applied the ice, Shuan’er’s tears streamed down uncontrollably.

Princess Consort Wei had cleverly arranged their temporary accommodations! Shuan’er was staying in a courtyard to the right of the garden, while Zhang Zhongding and Su Ke were housed to the left and right sides, with courtyard walls between them, making them separate enclosures.

Separated by just one wall, if someone spoke loudly in one courtyard, they could be heard under the wall on the other side.

When Zhang Zhongding and Su Ke left, leaving only the two of them, the smile on Zhang Zhongding’s face disappeared!

He slowly stood still, arms crossed, using his height advantage to look down on Su Ke.

Su Ke clutched his chest, desperately trying to suppress the cough that reached his lips, and slowly walked back to his temporary residence.

"Lord Su, wait a moment!"

Zhang Zhongding suddenly spoke up, touching the bruise on his face as Su Ke looked back.

"Lord Su, those two punches were quite severe! When I picked up Shuan’er, it was because she was injured, not to violate her intentionally. Though you are Shuan’er’s uncle and it’s understandable to be protective, I will not hold it against you this time! When we return to the capital, I will definitely send an invitation to your residence. As Shuan’er’s elder, you must be present if she and I marry!"

With these words, Su Ke’s complexion worsened!

He endured and endured, but still could not help coughing violently.

Finally catching his breath, Su Ke managed to laugh!

"Shuan’er’s birth mother and my mother are first cousins; I’m her peer, not an elder. Moreover, you and Shuan’er are only betrothed; it’s not as if it can’t be dissolved. Even if you get married, dissolution is still possible, isn’t it?"

After saying that, he ignored the sudden change in expression on the man behind him and turned back to his yard.

Zhang Zhongding watched Su Ke’s retreating figure with a dark expression.

Instinctively lifting his hand, he touched his chin.

It seemed that he had been too lenient before, considering the family ties with Shuan’er, he hadn’t wanted to cause severe harm at the scene. That was the only reason for the mild lesson.

Looking back, he should have just crippled him to avoid any further interference!

But perhaps there was still a chance...

"Young Master, Young Master are you alright?"

Seeing Su Ke stagger as he walked, Duan Yan and Little Shitou were shocked and hastily stepped forward to support him, helping him lie down on the bed.

"Young Master, should I send someone for the doctor?"

Duan Yan turned to leave.

"Come back!"

Su Ke stopped him, "No need, I just need to rest..." Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ke couldn’t help but collapse onto the bed and fell unconscious.

"Young Master! Young Master..."

Duan Yan and Little Shitou panicked.

Ignoring the young master’s instructions, they still called for the doctor.

When Su Ke woke up, it was already the next morning.

Looking at the canopy above his head, Su Ke carefully considered the past events. He was no fool; yesterday, jealousy had blinded him, but today, after sobering up, he noticed the details that had eluded him the day before.

It seemed that Zhang Zhongding was not as simple as he appeared!
