"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy…" Chu Tang looked up at Jiang Yingying weakly.
"Quickly send him to the hospital!" Seeing that his biological grandson had been beaten, Old Master Chu finally panicked. As he ordered sternly, he glared at the butler. "Go and receive your punishment yourself!"
The butler was silent. He could only put down the whip before leaving. When he left, he looked at Jiang Yingying expressionlessly.
Before long, the servants of the old residence ran over to bring Chu Tang to the hospital.
It was unknown where Jiang Yingying found the strength to shake off the servants and help Chu Tang back to the wheelchair. "He's my husband. I'll take care of him! You don't have to touch him!" As she spoke, she pushed Chu Tang out of the Chu family's ancestral hall.
Old Master Chu stood in the middle of the ancestral hall and watched as Jiang Yingying pushed Chu Tang away and the few red wounds on her back. He waved his hand to let the servants leave, and his eyes flashed with relief.
Yu Sha looked at their backs as they left with an impatient expression. She still knew that although Chu Tang was the least favored person in the Chu family, he was also a member of the Chu family. She could kill Jiang Yingying, but she couldn't really threaten Chu Tang's life, just like how when Chu Lin was injured, the Chu family definitely couldn't let the matter rest. She put on a smile again. "I didn't expect Chu Tang to be so devoted to Jiang Yingying and even block the whip for her. His body is so weak. I wonder what will happen to him…"
Old Master Chu glanced at Yu Sha. "I've already taught Jiang Yingying a lesson. That's enough. No one is allowed to mention this again!" After saying that, he even looked at Chu Lin coldly. "Why did you suddenly go to Jiang Yingying's school? Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Stop playing these tricks behind my back. Otherwise, you won't get a single cent of my assets!"
Chu Lin, who had been watching the commotion, turned pale and slowly lowered his gloomy eyes.
At the hospital.
Seeing that the nurse had finally applied medicine to Chu Tang's back, Jiang Yingying heaved a sigh of relief. "It won't hurt anymore, right? Will his body be affected?"
The nurse said, "This medicine is very effective at relieving pain. He suffered superficial wounds. As long as he recuperates carefully, there won't be any other effects." Then, she looked at Jiang Yingying's back. "Madam, your injury needs to be treated too." Her injury was much more serious than her husband's.
Only after the nurse said that did Jiang Yingying feel the pain. Her back burned.
She laid on the bed. The nurse behind her carefully cut open her clothes and stopped the bleeding. Jiang Yingying broke out in cold sweat from the pain and fainted.
Chu Tang sat on the bed beside her. When he saw Jiang Yingying's expression, his heart ached. He asked the nurse, "How long will it take for her to recover?"
The nurse replied, "It will take at least a week. During this period, she has to avoid spicy food. Her injuries are relatively serious… Your wife looks thin and weak, but I didn't expect her to be so tolerant. Ordinary people would have fainted long ago if they suffered such injuries. However, not only has she endured it until now, but she also didn't cry out in pain during the treatment."
Chu Tang sighed softly. "Yes."
She was really a strange girl. His grandfather's meaning was obvious. If she admitted her mistake, this matter would be over. No matter what, Chu Lin was injured, so his grandfather wanted an explanation. However, she would rather be punished than admit her mistake and lower her head. As someone who had pretended to be sick for 18 years, Chu Tang couldn't understand Jiang Yingying's persistence at all. Didn't she know how to plan for the long-term? Didn't she know that there was always another way out? However, he had to admit that Jiang Yingying really shocked him.
That night, Chu Tang and Jiang Yingying stayed in the hospital. After all, with Jiang Yingying's condition, he didn't want to torture her anymore.
"I didn't do anything wrong!"
Late at night, in the ward, Jiang Yingying still didn't wake up, but she was still calling out stubbornly in her dream.
Chu Tang turned to look at her. In the end, he got up and climbed onto her bed. He carefully hugged her. "You didn't do anything wrong." It was just that as her husband, he couldn't reveal his true colors yet! Sorry… Chu Tang hugged the little woman in her arms and closed his eyes silently.
Ever since that fire caused his sister's death, he had told himself repeatedly that he had to disguise himself. No matter how difficult it was or how humiliating it was, he had to endure it! He definitely couldn't die. Only then could he eventually avenge his family.
