Chapter 482: Chapter 482: The Ruthless Woman (2)_1

Zhang Gengshan sobbed softly, "This servant will go find a doctor immediately!"

"Let’s wait until tomorrow," Mo Heng said, then turned to Pei Qin. He wanted the doctor to check for any injuries she might have sustained, but feared that the doctor might discover her pregnancy through taking her pulse, potentially ruining her reputation.

This time, Pei Qin truly felt guilty. Looking at Mo Heng’s pale, bloodless face and the red stain seeping through the bandage on his hand, she couldn’t help but frown in remorse, considering his hand might now be useless. "Tomorrow, I’ll go with you," she said.

Mo Heng looked at her, without a word of refusal.

After the doctor left, it wasn’t long before Lu Hao and Feng Wei returned, "We caught a live one, but he bit into poison and took his own life. These people must be suicide soldiers."

Only no ordinary families could afford suicide soldiers. And these people, they were clearly targeting Pei Qin, just like before, coming straight for her life.

Pei Qin’s expression was grim, and a wave of fury was building in her eyes. It seemed she indeed had become a stumbling block to some, thus they repeatedly sought to put her to death.

Watching her escort Lu Hao and Lu Hai away, Mo Heng instructed Feng Wei, "Send two more people over. Before they arrive, you go first to ensure her safety."

"Young Master!?" Feng Wei’s complexion changed. He was the only one by the young master’s side. If he went to protect Pei Qin, wouldn’t the young master be left unprotected?

Zhang Gengshan burst into tears, "The young master was severely injured trying to save her, his hand might even... might be ruined, and yet he still..."

Feng Wei was shocked, "What happened!?"

Zhang Gengshan glanced at Mo Heng, then relayed the news about the severed tendons, "...We’ll find a famous doctor tomorrow."

Looking at Mo Heng, Feng Wei’s face turned even grimmer. The young master... for Pei Qin, had already given so much! And now his tendons were severed, especially in his right hand, which was most important; in the future...

When Pei Qin arrived home, she was immediately surrounded by a group of alarmed little radishes—Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, Pei Wendong, and Chang Yonglin, "Eldest sister!"

Lu Hao told them to hide well, and Chang Yonglin’s two guards were on high alert. Knowing there had been a previous assassination attempt, and now that it had occurred right at their doorstep, they were all terrified.

Seeing the blood all over her, Pei Qian asked anxiously, "Where are you injured?"

"I’m fine, it’s someone else’s," Pei Qin replied. She only had minor cuts on her arm and leg that would heal easily with some medicine; the blood on her was the assassin’s, and Mo Heng’s.

"Who exactly bears such a grudge against us that they keep coming to kill the eldest sister!?" Pei Yuan asked angrily, wiping away tears. The Qian family, no matter how rich, she couldn’t believe they would spend so much silver to hire suicide soldiers to kill her eldest sister. But they had not offended anyone else.

"I’ll go home at dawn and ask my grandfather to send more guards!" Chang Yonglin said, still shaken. Lu Hai and Lu Hao alone were not enough. Even with Feng Wei, they couldn’t always count on bumping into him, and he couldn’t stop the deadly assassins if they kept coming in waves.

Pei Wendong clutched his eldest sister’s hand tightly, his little face tense, hating that he wasn’t strong enough to protect his sister, and yet she was always the one looking out for them.

"It’s over now; no need to worry too much! I’m going to take a bath and change my clothes," Pei Qin said, ruffling his little head.

Pei Yuan and Pei Qian hurried to prepare the hot water.

After Pei Qin changed out of her bloodied clothes and took a hot bath, she put on fresh garments and soothed the little radishes before sending them to bed.

Lying on the bed, Pei Qin couldn’t close her eyes for a long time. Hearing the rooster crow, she got up.

Lu Hai had slept in his clothes and quickly got up when he heard her.

Leaving the house in Lu Hao’s care, Pei Qin set out with Lu Hai, heading towards Mo Heng’s place.
