Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Ruthless Woman (3)_1

Feng Wei didn’t wait for her to knock before he opened the door from the inside.

Pei Qin pursed her lips as she entered the room, and seeing Mo Heng also up, she said directly, "If we hurry now, we’ll arrive in the county city just as it gets light!"

Mo Heng looked at her grave expression and nodded, "Okay."

Feng Wei immediately harnessed the carriage.

Zhang Gengshan carried a cloak and a thin quilt, along with a bag filled with various medicines and gauze.

"You stay home and keep watch," Mo Heng instructed him.

Zhang Gengshan was taken aback, watching as both Mo Heng and Pei Qin got into the carriage, with Feng Wei driving and Lu Hai not seeming to prepare to sit in the carriage, he sullenly stayed behind. The young master really was completely bewitched by this woman! Even at a time like this, he still wanted to be alone with her. Yet she still couldn’t see the young master’s kindness!

The carriage moved through the night, with lanterns hanging outside, allowing weak light to filter in.

Pei Qin looked up at Mo Heng sitting across from her, and in the faint light, she could still see his bloodless handsome face, weary as if he couldn’t keep his eyes open, his body swaying. She frowned, "It will take at least one and a half hours to reach the county city, do you want to sleep for a bit?"

Mo Heng tried to keep his eyes open to look at her and nodded, "Hmm!" He changed his position, directly leaning against her.

Pei Qin saw him voluntarily leaning on her to sleep, and her mouth twitched fiercely. She had meant for him to lean against the carriage wall to rest, not on her... She extended her hand to tell him to find another spot, but he had already peacefully fallen asleep. Hesitating for a moment, Pei Qin withdrew her hand. She decided to let him lean on her for a while!

Mo Heng’s lips moved slightly, and as the carriage swayed, he pressed even closer to her.

A light, cold fragrance mixed with the scent of blood emanated from him, and Pei Qin rolled her eyes towards the carriage roof, yawned, and closed her eyes to rest.

By the time the carriage arrived outside the city gates, the sky had just started to brighten.

Lu Hai called out, and hearing the muffled sound, he frowned.

Feng Wei opened the carriage door only to see most of Pei Qin’s body leaning on Mo Heng, sleeping with a content expression.

If Pei Qin knew what he was thinking, she would certainly jump up. Which eye saw her sleeping happily!? She was actually very uncomfortable, sleeping uneasily!

Feng Wei looked at Mo Heng’s complexion and closed the carriage door.

Pei Qin also suddenly woke up, "Have we arrived?"

"We should have," Mo Heng replied to her in a low voice.

Pei Qin heard his voice above her head and realized she had fallen asleep in his arms. She sat up and saw him staring at her, unable to help feeling a bit embarrassed.

Mo Heng gazed at her, "If my hand really is ruined, would you... still be willing to marry me?"

Pei Qin looked at him speechlessly. It was as if he was saying that she was willing to marry him even before his hand was ruined.

Not receiving an answer from her for a long time, the light in Mo Heng’s eyes dimmed as he lowered them.

Pei Qin hesitated to open her mouth, wanting to say something, but struggled to articulate it.

Mo Heng stopped speaking to her and stepped out of the carriage directly.

Pei Qin followed and got out as well.

The medical hall was not yet open.

Feng Wei went up and knocked on the door.

It was quite early for visitors, but the shopkeeper and the assistant opened the door, learned of the situation, and went to call for the most skilled doctor on duty.

After waiting for quite some time, the doctor arrived rubbing his eyes. He recognized Pei Qin and, struck by Mo Heng’s astonishing beauty, he examined Mo Heng’s injuries while wondering to himself.

Feng Wei was apprehensive, waiting on the side.

Pei Qin was also watching the doctor intently, "Is there a cure?"

The doctor pondered for a long while, then sighed, "The tendons in the hand have been severed; this hand is beyond treatment."

With that one statement, it was as if a death sentence had been handed down, and the color drained from Pei Qin’s face, turning it instantly grim.

The doctor flinched at her chilling expression, "Such a shame about this hand... Even if you go to Fu City and find another doctor, no one will be able to heal this hand."
