Xie Ruotong was out of danger thanks to the dical treatnt by Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi stayed in the Song Residence for a day and a night and left early the next morning.
When he left, the Song Family was naturally very grateful.
If it were not for Ye Qichi, if sothing fatal happened to Xie Ruotong, the Song Family would have been unable to explain themselves.
After Ye Qichi left.
Ming Yufang brought quite a few people to visit her.
Xie Ruotong refused Ming Yufang’s concern and visit for too long, citing that her body was still very uncomfortable.
Ming Yufang didn’t dare to really upset Xie Ruotong.
Seeing Xie Ruotong’s outburst the day before, she was sowhat wary, and of course, the most important thing was that Xie Ruotong had suffered such a severe injury in their Song Family, she owed her an apology, hence she was much more compliant with Xie Ruotong.
When she left, she left 4 maids for Xie Ruotong.
Saying they would take care of her from now on.
It seems to be to compensate for the loss of Qiao’er.
Xie Ruotong smiled sowhat coldly.
After Ming Yufang left.
So ti later.
While Xie Ruotong was sowhat groggy, Song Yanqing ca.
Her body’s wounds were in unbearable pain.
Thus, she could only try to fall asleep, to alleviate the physical pain.
However, she was woken up by the arrival of Song Yanqing, just when she had managed to fall asleep.
Too light a sleep is not always a good thing.
Of course, it isn’t a bad thing either.
At least she would not be assassinated in her sleep.
Xie Ruotong opened her eyes to look at Song Yanqing.
She saw the dark circles under Song Yanqing’s eyes were very noticeable, as he had stayed with her the whole night and had attended the morning court; he looked exhausted even though he tried to hide it.
"Is your body feeling better?" Song Yanqing asked her proactively.
Probably out of guilt too.
He probably didn’t expect that the sword strike from Mu Dong would wound her so grievously.
"Mhm." Xie Ruotong responded faintly.
"Does it hurt?" Song Yanqing asked again softly.
"It’s bearable." Xie Ruotong remained indifferent.
Being calm now, she won’t lose control over anyone anymore.
"If I say..." Song Yanqing hesitated.
Xie Ruotong actually didn’t want to listen.
To Song Yanqing.
She just wanted to confront him with the coldest heart.
"I had Mu Dong act that way, not just to save Ruolin but also to save you, would you believe ?" Song Yanqing finally spoke up.
The reason he mustered the courage to say it.
He probably felt it was hard to say.
After all, stabbing soone from behind and then saying it was for their own good?!
Who would believe that.
But Xie Ruotong believed it.
If Song Yanqing hadn’t had Mu Dong do that, in yesterday’s circumstances, she really would have killed Xie Ruilin.
Killing Xie Ruilin would an a life for a life.
She would also have to pay with her life.
Even concerning,
The stab from Mu Dong from behind, she wasn’t completely unaware.
As an assassin.
The first-ti perception of danger is the most basic ability, she was not unaware of the threat from Mu Dong.
Yet at that ti, she chose to accept it.
Consent was rely so she would have a reason not to kill Xie Ruilin in that manner.
Not using that self-destructive thod.
But she also did not expect that the stab from Mu Dong would be so deep.
It almost claid her life.
"I will look into Qiao’er’s case thoroughly," Song Yanqing said without getting a response from Xie Ruotong, continuing to speak.
He knew that Xie Ruotong probably wouldn’t just forgive him.
Who would forgive a backstabber.
He actually didn’t intend to defend himself, but upon seeing Xie Ruotong, he inexplicably did not want her to hate him so much.
"No need," Xie Ruotong said faintly.
Song Yanqing watched Xie Ruotong.
"Everyone involved is dead. What difference would it make if it were clarified?" Xie Ruotong retorted to Song Yanqing.
Song Yanqing was left speechless.
"Even if you find out that Qiao’er’s death was truly related to Xie Ruilin, what can you do? What could your family do?" Xie Ruotong asked mockingly.
The laugh was indeed very ironic.
She was naive.
Naively believing that Song Yanqing was upright in character, at least fair and just.
But now she felt incredibly foolish.
If it really turned out that Qiao’er had been frad, what could the Song Family do?!
With Xie Ruilin being pregnant, the Song Family would happily pamper her, they wouldn’t actually do anything to her.
Song Yanqing loved Xie Ruilin so much, how could she hope that Song Yanqing would put justice over familial love for her sake.
It was her.
Who had been too hopeful.
Luckily now, she understood a lot more clearly.
