While changing clothes, Bai Zhi accidentally saw the wound on Lu Ningshuang's hand, and she felt so distressed that tears were about to come out.

"Miss, your hand..."

"It's okay, just a little skin injury."

Lu Ningshuang took a calm look at it and even made a gesture to hold it.

Bai Zhi quickly grabbed Lu Ningshuang's wrist, pressed down her fingers, and stopped her movements.

I saw the white and slender palm covered in blood, with the surface skin piled up around it. It made my teeth ache just by looking at it.

Is this still okay?

My lady!

"Fuling, notify Imperial Physician Jing—"

"Fuling received!"

Poria cocos disappeared like a gust of wind.

Seeing this, Lu Ningshuang shook her head helplessly:

"No, just a simple bandage will be enough. My uncles should come to see me later. There's no need to make a fuss and cause the elders to worry."

"Ah."

Bai Zhi didn't comment and carefully cleaned her wound.

The warm water wet the wound, bringing waves of stinging pain, and Lu Ningshuang couldn't help but frown.

Bai Zhi blew gently and suggested:

"Miss, since you are so interested in Lu Yan, I will have someone make a new set of chains for you later.

Polish the surface smooth and wrap it with fine cotton cloth so that the young lady won’t get hurt next time.”

He is truly worthy of being the chief loyal servant of the vicious female supporting role, and feels no psychological pressure at all in being an accomplice to the evildoer.

Jing Shiyue was on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau, so Fuling couldn't invite anyone over in a short period of time.

In order not to affect Lu Ningshuang's activities, Bai Zhi carefully sprinkled the medicine powder, wrapped it with gauze, and tied a silk embroidered handkerchief on the outside to ensure its beauty.

Lu Ningshuang sighed and left it behind.

*

The favoritism of the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife towards their youngest daughter has reached the level of serious spoiling.

They specially built a luxurious small kitchen in Chenxiang Courtyard and hired two chefs at a high price, one who specialized in pastries and snacks, and the other who specialized in meals.

On weekdays, unless there was a major holiday or banquet, Lu Ningshuang didn't need to go to the front hall to eat.

Especially in the harsh winter and hot summer, she only needs to eat in her own yard.

Sometimes, worried that she would be lonely, the couple would come over to keep her company.

So even though they arrived at the mansion yesterday afternoon, up to now, the three Qin brothers have not seen the little niece who has always worried them about since she was a child.

"Those damn bandits! They stole all the good things I prepared for Xiao Shuang!

Not only the white bear skin from the Far North that is complete enough to be worn directly, but also the red fox skin with gold edges that I carefully selected.

It would be so beautiful if you made it into a cape and wore it in winter!"

Qin Zhixing travels in the northern wilderness all year round. He is used to wearing a contrasting robe of maroon, dark green, and light orange, with a circle of gray wolf skin on the edge, giving him a tough look.

He is nearly two meters tall and has a strong and sturdy build. At the age of fourteen, he went to the frontier on horseback, carrying a sword on his back, and it has been more than thirty years since then.

His handsome face was worn down by the wind and sand, but it also gave him a strong deterrent power. When he stood there alone, people would believe he was the Khan of the grassland.

Seeing that Chenxiang Courtyard was not far away, he lowered his voice for fear of scaring his sickly little niece.

"Yes! I have a box of pearls and half a box of pink diamonds I exchanged from overseas.

I had intended to bring it to Xiao Shuangshuang to set it into sparkling jewelry, but in the end... Ha! Let's not talk about it!"

Qin Zhenghong was wearing the finest silk and satin, which emitted a soft glow under the sun, and the twelve-colored pigeon egg-sized gem belt around his waist sparkled.

He kept fiddling with the emerald ring on his thumb, with a perfect smile on his face, like a mature CEO with a dagger hidden behind his smile.

The third one does not have as strong pressure as the first two.

Qin Yushu, as the youngest son of the Qin family and the most popular talent in Huaishui, was born with gentleness and beauty.

He looked very unhappy because the rare copy he collected for his little niece was lost.

But his temperament and appearance are there, even when he frowns he still has a romantic charm.

As soon as the three of them entered the yard, the humble house was filled with light and brilliance.

"Hello, three uncles!"

The servants all greeted him, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Aunt Zhang, who was left behind by Mrs. Lu to take care of chores, came out from the kitchen and led the three of them to the side hall to serve tea.

"My three uncles, please wait here for a moment. The second young lady has not yet washed up."

The three of them expressed their understanding that their little niece was always sick and could not go out, so she naturally had to dress comfortably in her room.

Now that the children are grown up, it is time to keep a sense of propriety.

After Zhang Ma respectfully apologized to the three Qin brothers, she ordered the servants to light several large pots of charcoal fire in the side hall.

The three big men are very powerful, especially Qin Zhixing, who can even go hunting with half his arms bare in the heavy snow.

Now that the charcoal fire was emitting steam, he couldn't open the windows and doors for ventilation, and he was sweating profusely because of the heat.

The third brother felt sorry for his eldest brother and wanted to open two windows to cool down the room, but was stopped by Qin Zhenghong who stood still.

"Little Shuangshuang is coming soon. The temperature in the room can't be raised. If you get frozen, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

Qin Yushu looked at his elder brother aggrievedly, and was slapped in circles by his elder brother's "caring" big palm.

"Get out! The grown men are in good shape and can keep warm. Xiao Shuang is weak and can't stand the cold. Besides, it's not like I don't know how to take off my clothes!"

Qin Yushu: Okay, I'll care about you for no reason! You old fool, just forget it!

Not long after, Lu Ningshuang came in accompanied by Bai Zhi.

The pale little face, the pointed chin, and the frail body that could be blown away by a gust of wind, the three uncles cried out in despair as soon as they saw her!

"My Lord, Xiaoshuang, how much injustice have you suffered? Why are you so thin?"

The uncle tried his best to control his voice, fearing that he would blow too loudly and blow his little niece to pieces.

He was about to touch his good niece's head, but when he saw his hand, which was bigger than the little girl's face, he put it down silently.

His little niece is much more delicate than gems, leather, spices and the like, so he'd better not touch her.

"Oh, our little Shuangshuang has suffered a lot! Your father is a dignified Duke, how can he be so stingy? If he had given you a few more guards, would you still be able to get hurt?"

Qin Zhenghong deliberately did not mention Lu Yingxue's matter. No matter what the truth was, it would be suspected of alienating family members.

He directly put the blame on his brother-in-law. After all, the children's discord was due to the parents' fault.

He carefully looked at his extremely delicate niece, tapped his elbow with his left hand that had three gem rings on it, and said in a deep voice:

“How about Uncle Bu Er send you eight or ten guards. Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts and move as fast as the wind, they are also handsome.

The jewel in the crown of my Qin family must not marry into another family and suffer!"

The smiling fox, who no one dared to look down upon in the business world, suddenly became out of control, and the eldest brother was so angry that he slapped him and pushed him away.

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children! Ten or eight!"

Qin Zhixing roared at the top of his voice, which was very funny.

He paused for a moment, then turned to Lu Ningshuang and said solemnly:

"But your second uncle is right about one thing. A girl who is raised like a pearl by our Qin family and pampered like a treasure must not marry into another family and be tortured!

We will pick a good-looking and talented young man to be your son-in-law in the future, and he will serve our Xiaoshuang for the rest of his life!"

Qin Yushu was stunned. Brother, you didn’t let your little niece go either!
