Su Heng, who was discussing matters in the Qinzheng Hall, was taken out of the hall by a eunuch. Xue Man threw herself into Su Heng's arms, crying, "Master, please ask His Majesty to send an imperial physician to the mansion. Xing'er is dying!"

"What? What happened?" Su Heng was shocked. His eyebrows had been twitching a lot recently. He had been worried about what would happen. Did it really come true?

Xue Man cried, "It's all your precious Lingyue's fault! Xing'er fell down the stairs of the observation pavilion and I'm afraid she's going to be disfigured! Go find His Majesty and send the imperial physician!"

Su Heng hurried into the Qinzheng Palace and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, my little daughter was accidentally injured and it is quite serious. Please let the imperial physician come to my house."

The emperor was also surprised when he heard this and immediately agreed.

Crown Prince Xiao Changshi, who was discussing matters with him, was very worried about Su Nanxing when he heard that she was injured. However, looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, he finally gave up the idea of ​​going to the prime minister's residence together and continued to discuss matters absent-mindedly.

After returning to the prime minister's residence, Su Heng and Xue Man brought the imperial physician to Caixing Pavilion. Imperial Physician Zhang followed Su Heng and Yao Man into Su Nanxing's bedroom.

As soon as he entered and smelled a strong smell of blood, he frowned and quickly walked to the bed. After seeing the blood all over the bed and Su Nanxing's horrific wound, he could no longer hold it in, so he walked to Su Lingyue and slapped her in the face.

"Rebellious girl, you actually harmed your sister like this!"

Su Lingyue fell heavily to the ground, her consciousness was a little fuzzy, and there was a fishy and sweet taste in her mouth.

Su Heng is a martial artist, so one can imagine the force of this slap.

"Heng'er, why did you hit her?"

The old lady stood up to stop Su Heng from getting any closer, and her elder and younger sisters-in-law beside her helped Su Lingyue, who had fallen to the ground, to sit up.

Su Heng wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the old lady. Su Heng said sternly: "Why should I hit her? This rebellious girl actually hurt her sister like this! She should die to atone for her crime! Mother, don't stop me!"

"It was Nanxing who wanted to push Lingyue, but instead of hurting anyone, he ended up falling himself. You are her father after all, why didn't you ask before hitting someone!" The old lady held her forehead with her hand, feeling helpless towards her son.

Su Heng couldn't believe it: "Mother, what are you talking about? Wasn't it she who harmed Xing'er like this?"

The old lady looked at Xue Man who was standing aside and watching the show. This woman was just adding fuel to the fire. Then she looked at her son who was easily influenced by others and felt her headache coming back again!

I wonder how long it will take to appease Su Lingyue after this slap. After all, she is the future Crown Princess. How will the Queen explain it when she finds out!

Doctor Zhang looked at the noisy people and felt upset, so he said, "Everyone, I need to treat the second young lady quietly. Please go outside to deal with your family affairs!"

Su Heng only then remembered the purpose of returning home, and hurried to the bedside and asked: "Doctor Zhang, how is my daughter's face? Can it be cured?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head: "Second Miss's wound is too big and too deep. There will be scars after it heals."

After hearing this, Xue Man felt like the sky had fallen. It should be Su Lingyue who was disfigured. How could this be her precious daughter? She was going to replace Su Lingyue as the queen!

Su Heng looked at Xue Man who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. His anger towards her for lying to him and using him to beat Lingyue disappeared instantly. He knew how much Xue Man doted on Nanxing. Yao Man was so weak, how could she bear such a heavy blow!

Su Heng helped Xue Man up and took her out of the room so as not to disturb Doctor Zhang's treatment.

After everyone sat down, Su Lingyue also staggered and walked out of the room with difficulty, holding on to the wall. Caidie Caiyi, who was waiting outside, saw Su Lingyue's appearance and hurried over to support Su Lingyue. She also saw the fingerprints on Su Lingyue's face.

"Miss, what's going on?"

Caidie's voice was very loud, and everyone in the hall looked towards Su Lingyue.

With the help of Caidie Caiyi, Su Lingyue walked to the chair and sat down. Tears welled up in Su Lingyue's eyes. She covered her cheek and looked at Su Heng without saying anything.

Her father was very fond of this, Su Lingyue knew that her father did not like people around him to be too strong.

The meaning is very clear, it was Su Heng, the father, who beat him.

Su Heng also thought of what happened just now. Although he felt sad, he did beat Su Lingyue in front of everyone, and he had to give an explanation for this.

He looked at Xue Man and asked her what was going on, his eyes full of scrutiny and intimidation. Xue Man felt a chill on her back when Su Heng looked at her, and she shrank into herself with a handkerchief in her hand.

Finally, he looked at Su Lingyue and said bitterly: "When we went over there, we only saw Xing'er falling down the stairs. There were only Xing'er and Lingyue at the time. Who else could it be if not her!"

Upon hearing this, Caiyi stood up angrily, looked at Xue Man and retorted: "Madam, all five or six of us maids and servants saw it. It was the second young lady who pushed the eldest young lady in front of her that caused her to fall!"

Xue Man glared at Cai Yi: "Does a maid have the right to interrupt the master when he is talking?"

Caiyi said calmly, "There were five or six people present, except you, the rest were maids and servants. If we don't tell them, wouldn't the young lady be wrongly killed? If you don't believe me, you can call everyone who was present at the time to question us!"

Xue Man could no longer utter a word, and if he were to be interrogated, he would surely be exposed.

Su Lingyue saw that things were almost done, so she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Caiyi, motioning Caiyi to give it to Su Heng: "Father, this is a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, inviting me to watch the rain in the viewing pavilion in the mansion."

Su Heng frowned: "Nonsense! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Qinzheng Palace today to discuss matters, how can he have time to invite you to enjoy the rain?"

Su Lingyue wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, feeling extremely aggrieved: "You will know after father reads the letter, and I have witnesses. Caiyi, bring the person here."

Caiyi handed the letter to Su Heng and went out to bring people.

Su Heng looked at the letter in his hand and felt that the handwriting was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The messenger boy, tied up with heavy clothes, was dragged up by the servants and thrown to the ground.

Su Heng held the letter and looked at the servant with a sharp look in his eyes: "Is this letter from you to the young lady?"

The servant nodded tremblingly: "Yes, sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites the young lady to enjoy the rain together."

Su Lingyue gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sobbed, "Father, I went to enjoy the rain. I don't know why my second sister was there but the prince didn't come. I don't know why my second sister pushed me when she went downstairs. If I hadn't held the railing, I'm afraid..."

Su Lingyue's body trembled slightly, and she leaned in Caidie's arms, looking extremely aggrieved and pitiful.

Hearing this, Xue Man could no longer sit still: "This letter must have been forged by her in collusion with the servant. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince write a letter and then not come? Why not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come over to confront her, and we will know if she is lying or not."

Su Lingyue was secretly delighted and sobbed as she echoed, "If father and mother don't believe it, you can just ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over and confront them."

The servant had been tied up since he delivered the letter, so he had no idea what happened in between. Even the dumbest person would understand what had happened after hearing this.

The servant regretted accepting the money from the second lady and delivering the letter. Once the prince came, he would have no way to survive. It would be better for him to admit it and take a chance.

"Boom!"

The servant knocked his head heavily on the ground and said, "Master, Madam, Miss, please spare me. The second young lady asked me to deliver the letter. Please give me ten taels of silver. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to search. The silver is still on me."

Su Heng looked at the letter in his hand again. It was written by Nan Xing. When did this daughter whom she doted on so much become so cruel and ruthless? Su Heng signaled, and the servant next to him began to search her body very quickly. Sure enough, a silver ingot was found.

Su Heng's face was grim, and he said sternly: "Drag him away and beat him to death!"

Then there were sounds of fighting in the yard, and the wailing of a servant. After shouting for dozens of times, the sound became smaller and smaller and finally disappeared.

Su Heng reprimanded him sternly: "From now on, anyone who stirs up trouble in this mansion will be beaten to death! Do you understand?"

The maids and servants in the room were all shocked and said "yes" repeatedly.

"Lingyue, your father has wronged you. The one who caused the trouble is dead. Don't take what happened just now to heart."

Su Heng looked at Su Lingyue who was still wiping tears. His voice became much softer, like a loving father, but he never mentioned the fact that Su Nanxing had harmed her.

Su Lingyue looked at Su Heng obediently: "My daughter doesn't blame my father. It's all about life. My daughter understands."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Su Heng nodded and smiled kindly, "You go back first, I'll have the servants send you the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine."

Su Lingyue stood up and bowed obediently: "Yes, my daughter will take her leave!"

This is his good father. Even though he knows that Su Nanxing wants to harm her, he will still side with Su Nanxing. It has always been like this!

Su Heng disliked Su Lingyue's mother Jiang Yunyin, and he disliked her as a daughter. If Su Lingyue did not invite him to her mother's birthday or death anniversary, her father would never go to the ancestral hall to worship.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Lingyue was bullied by Xue Mansheng's children. When Su Lingyue went to look for her only blood relative in the world, her father, Su Heng only told her to be sensible and not to argue with her brothers and sisters. Su Lingyue left disappointed every time. Later, she no longer had any hope for this father.

Walking out of the small hall, Su Lingyue's eyes were full of coldness!

Su Nanxing, she, Su Lingyue, will solve it herself! She will also leave this family!
