Chapter 411: Chapter 412 It seems like I’ve seen this scene before
Her expression bore not a hint of sorrow.
Kind, serene, composed, and brave.
This was his assessnt of her, and the man found himself increasingly curious and admiring of her.
“I wonder, miss, why can’t you see? My third brother possesses exceptional dical skill, I could ask him to have a look; perhaps he could cure you.”
Gazing at her beautiful phoenix eyes, he thought, if they were cured, how exquisite they must be.
They would surely be as bright and captivating as the stars and moon above.
Qiu Ruyue’s eyelashes fluttered slightly because he suggested her eyes might be healed.
But then she cald down again.
Do not harbor too much hope, for the greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt.
After thinking for a mont, she answered, “My eyes… after an accident a few years ago, I beca blind.”
“What accident?” He, who usually disliked prying into others’ private matters, blurted out the question.
Qiu Ruyue didn’t want to bring up past events either, probably because she had kept it to herself for too long.
Yet, she actually began to tell him.
“Three years ago, I went to a temple fair with my maid. I encountered a haughty young lady who knocked down with her whip, and I hit the back of my head, subsequently losing my sight.”
Her words were simple, but each sentence hit the nail on the head.
The man said angrily, “Do you know whose daughter she was? To be so unreasonably tyrannical, did you not go to the governnt to report them?”
As he spoke these words, he vaguely felt as if he had seen this scene sowhere before, though this suspicion was fleeting, and he did not dwell on it.
Qiu Ruyue smiled and shook her head, her expression devoid of resentnt or mockery, tranquil as still water, without a single ripple.
“We couldn’t report them.”
“Why?”
He grew even more displeased. In Heijia City, the governnt was very efficient and never shielded anyone. There was no need to worry about the governnt taking bribes and failing to provide them with justice.
Ahem, that’s because the County Magistrate of the governnt is his eldest sister, also known as the sixth in their family hierarchy, Xuanyuan Fang…
Could it be that they were threatened?
If that was indeed the case, he would seek justice for them.
