Ke Ran, who was already running away with Qi Minghao, immediately became excited when she saw the woman. It was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw as she called out to the woman excitedly, “Mother, you’ve finally returned! Look at how my husband has been beaten up!’

The woman lowered her eyes and looked at Qi Minghao. She saw that her precious son had been beaten up until there was not a single part of his body left unscathed. His head drooped and he looked dispirited and listless.

Gu Qingxue, on the other hand, looked at the woman and exchanged a look. Their eyes met, and everything was clear without words.

It was not hard to guess that this woman was Old General Qi’s first daughter-in-law, Madam Pan.

Madam Pan’s expression became even gloomier. She clenched her fists and looked at the two people not far away, almost shooting them through.

Gu Qingxue shook her head at Rong Zhan, who was beside her, and chuckled. “First Aunt must be joking. I’m of my grandmother’s bloodline. Could it be that my grandmother’s identity as the eldest daughter in the Qi family is just an idle person in your eyes? ‘

Madam Pan narrowed her eyes and cast her gaze on Gu Qingxue. “I’ve heard that there’s a daughter in the Gu family who’s extraordinary. It seems that she’s really eloquent today.”

“First Aunt, you’re too kind. I’m not sharp-tongued, I just wanted to ask you, why did you deliberately harm my granduncle?” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she inserted the silver needle into the web between Old General Qi’s thumb and forefinger.

Old General Qi’s body trembled as if he was spasming. Then, his body trembled and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Gu Qingxue! Why aren’t you stopping? If anything happens to father’s body, the entire Qi family will not let you off! Someone, bring Gu Qingxue out!” As Madam Pan spoke, she did not forget to bow to Rong Zhan hypocritically.

“Please forgive us, Your Royal Highness. We didn’t mean to offend you, but Gu Qingxue can’t be allowed to live!”

Hearing this, Rong Zhan only sneered.

With him around, how could he let these people have any chance to touch Qingxue!

At this critical moment, Old General Qi, who had been lying weakly on the bed, suddenly coughed twice and opened his eyes. “Cough, cough, I’d like to see who dares to touch Xue’er with me here.’

It had been a long time since Madam Pan had heard Old General Qi’s strong voice. Her eyes trembled, and she could only watch as Old General Qi’s sharp gaze shot over.

With just one look, Madam Pan and the people behind her all felt their legs go soft, and they knelt on the ground uncontrollably.

“Greetings, Old General.”

The crowd spoke in unison. No one dared to resist the extraordinary aura that Old General Qi was exuding.

Old General Qi coldly took in this scene and snorted disdainfully.

Gu Qingxue hurriedly kept her silver needles, then helped Old General Qi sit up. “Granduncle, how do you feel?”

Old General Qi’s attitude toward Gu Qingxue was completely different. He gently held Gu Qingxue’s hand and said in a hoarse voice, “Xue ‘er, thank you for helping me. I feel much better now.”

Everyone looked in the direction of Old General Qi and knew that he was not joking. He really did feel much better, otherwise he would not have the strength to sit up..
