Chapter 427: The Future Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: The Future Daughter-in-Law

Qiu Jun limped along with difficulty, the wound on his back tearing open again due to his movements. The friction of his clothes against his skin didn’t cause his eyes to flinch, and he walked out of the castle with his back ramrod straight.

Wu Qing felt a bitter tightness in her heart, yet she chose to stand up and quickly follow.

The subordinates who had been waiting outside the castle for a day and a night rushed forward with concern upon seeing Qiu Jun emerge.

"Young Master Qiu, are you alright?"

Qiu Jun’s eyelids drooped, and he eventually fainted, startling his group of subordinates. Wu Qing hurried over to see Qiu Jun collapse into the arms of his men, her expression drastically changing as she strode forward.

"Quick, call a doctor."

Wu Qing’s hand rested on his forehead, which was burning hot as if on fire. The attentive Wu Qing also noticed he was muttering something under his breath, but before she could listen carefully, he was hoisted onto a car and sped off into the distance.

It took her a long while to retract her gaze, her deep and forbearing eyes looking towards the castle gates before she finally chose to step inside.

...

Yun Yue, as usual, went to the City Center Hospital, but unlike other times, this time only she and Xiao Jingchang were present.

"The poison has been removed, but for safety reasons, you still cannot wake," Yun Yue said, sitting in a chair and revealing only a pair of deep and pungent eyes.

At this, Xiao Jingchang’s gaze flickered slightly, "You mean... pretend to be in a vegetative state?"

She seemed to know everything.

Yun Yue nodded slightly, "Someone is trying to harm you. Continuing to feign sleep is the best option until we find out who the real culprit is."

Xiao Jingchang fell into deep thought. He had been lying there for nearly five years, unsure of what the outside world was like. The idea of continuing to pretend to sleep made him uneasy.

Yun Yue seemed to see the worries in his heart, and pulled out the Jade Ring from her pocket, placing it before him.

He lifted his eyes to look, and his always composed expression changed drastically. He hastily snatched the Jade Ring from Yun Yue’s hands, immediately confirming it was the one belonging to the Xiao Family Master. He spoke in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why do you have this Jade Ring?"

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, as if he intended to see right through her.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this Jade Ring should be in Xiao Chen’s possession. Why would it end up in her hands?

Yun Yue’s eyebrows raised slightly, and after thinking for two seconds, she spoke, "Your future daughter-in-law."

"Daughter-in-law?"

Xiao Jingchang was stupefied, even with mental preparation, he hadn’t expected her to blurt out such a statement, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Uh, that should be the case," Yun Yue’s lips curved up slightly, a cunning look in her eyes as she watched him, his dazed appearance was nothing like Xiao Chen’s, and it was hard to believe they were father and son.

Xiao Jingchang coughed to relieve his embarrassment, handing the Jade Ring back to Yun Yue, "Did that young man give it to you?"

He lowered his eyelids, his gaze carrying a father’s seriousness as he sized her up.

Was this young man so lucky?

Had he really won over such a beautiful girl?

Not to mention Yun Yue’s medical skills, but just those untamed and willful eyes that showed on the surface were enough to reveal her temperament.

He was never wrong about people, and this girl was the same kind as him.

"Mm," Yun Yue hummed softly.

She could present this Jade Ring, which meant Xiao Chen regarded her highly, she was the woman he had settled on for life, and she must also know the significance of the Jade Ring to show it to him.

Xiao Jingchang dropped his usual polite demeanor, his dark eyes showing approval toward Yun Yue, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Since she had already proven her identity, he naturally didn’t have so many concerns.

That kid’s stuff is not something that just anyone can snatch, nor will just anyone be granted it.

"As for the treatment I gave you, I hope you won’t mention it to anyone," her identity had to remain hidden for the time being.

"Don’t worry, I won’t say anything," Xiao Jingchang nodded slightly. Elder Fei was at a loss with his poison, so her being able to cure him at such a young age definitely meant she was no ordinary person.

"There’s one more thing, just as we mentioned earlier, you shouldn’t reveal yourself right now. You can’t let the outside world know that you’ve woken up, including Xiao Chen and Aunt Qiong."

Xiao Jingchang leaned against the pillow, feeling a tug at his heart. Whether Xiao Chen knew didn’t matter, but Aqiong... she had suffered so much these past four years.

"Relax, Aunt Qiong has managed the Xiao Family very well. Four or five years have passed; a little more time won’t make a difference."

Aunt Qiong would come every so often to ask about his recovery. Yesterday, she had asked again. For their safety, it was best not to see each other for the time being.

After much contemplation, Xiao Jingchang eventually nodded. "Alright, I agree with you."

"Good, Xiao Yisha, be careful with her. I suspect she harbors ill intentions. It’s best she doesn’t find out you’ve awakened."

Having finished speaking, she rose and walked towards the door. Xiao Jingchang watched Yun Yue’s retreating figure, his thoughts deepening. He had no idea about the situation outside and had just thought to ask her, but then dismissed the idea.

Asking her might bring no answers. However, with Xiao Chen around, he hoped the Xiao Family and the other major clans would remain secure.

Once Yun Yue left the Medical Organization’s base, she headed upstairs. Xiao Feng had already woken up. That kid was really blessed – there’s fortune in misfortune.

"Xiao Feng, you little rascal, tell us what exactly happened that day? Why were you at the Nan Family Cemetery?" Jiang Qi looked desperate for answers.

Ever since he had woken up, he had been mute, not saying anything.

Feng Ye gave him a covert glance and sincerely suggested, "Should we have Yun Yue examine him again? I’m worried his brain got damaged too, and he’s rendered mute."

Jiang Qi felt there was merit to the idea. "Better let Song Yu take a look then; he’s a neurosurgeon."

Xiao Feng: "..."

He opened his mouth expressionlessly: "They were after Nan Jingchen. Miss Yun was there to pay respects to the Nan Family."

He didn’t speak a word about the conversation that had taken place at the scene. He himself was stumped, unable to fathom how Miss Yun turned out to be the Underground Alliance’s ’K.’

He glanced at the man on the sofa exuding a cold and proud demeanor, then lowered his gaze and fell silent once more.

"You’re not mute! But why didn’t you speak all this time?" Zhai Quan curiously leaned in for a closer look, his eyes craftily probing, "Little Xiao Feng, is there something else you’re not telling us?"

Jiang Qi looked at him earnestly: "What happened at the scene that day?"

Xiao Feng lay on the bed, feeling considerable pressure from the three men staring at him. Just then, Yun Yue walked in.

"Why don’t you ask me?" She casually leaned against the doorway, a playful arch in her brow as she looked at the three men closing in on Xiao Feng.

Feng Ye and Jiang Qi were startled and let out an awkward chuckle. How did she arrive at just the right moment?

Zhai Quan felt his heart lurch at the sight of Yun Yue, a bad premonition welling up inside him. He had the feeling that he was about to face his doom and found himself petrified in place.

"How are you here?!" He almost jumped to his feet.

Yun Yue’s lips curled up slightly, and she tilted her cap forward to reveal teasing eyes. "Perhaps this is what they call fate."

Fate?!

Bah!

That’s no fate—her suddenly appearing here was no coincidence!

Glancing again at the expressions of Feng Ye and Jiang Qi, it was obvious they knew her.
