Doctor Lin came out from the inner room and said to Xiahou Yu, "Master, the madam's injuries have been treated. The small wounds on her face will not leave scars if you use this. Do it three times a day." She handed Xiahou Yu a small box of ointment.

Xiahou Yu took it and asked, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

Doctor Lin nodded and took out another box of medicine: "This is for rubbing the area on Madam's legs that was entangled by the poisonous vines. The vines are very poisonous. I don't know what method Madam used to prevent the toxins from entering her body. Use this to rub it, and it will be healed in a few days."

Xiahou Yu looked at the ointment in his hand and suddenly felt murderous.

"In addition, Madam needs to recuperate for a while." Doctor Lin said, turning around to get the gauze, "Madam's palm wound needs to be changed every day."

Xiahou Yu nodded and followed her in.

Looking at the pale Xia Nian on the bed, his brows trembled slightly with heartache, and he tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Let me do it."

Doctor Lin applied medicine to Xia Nian's palm. Even though he was unconscious, Xia Nian still frowned.

Xiahou Yu quickly wrapped it with gauze.

Doctor Lin said, "Master, just change it once a day."

After saying that, she went outside to get the medicine.

Xiahou Yu put Xia Nian's hand under the quilt, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, turned around, picked up the sword and walked outside.

He went to the gate and blew the whistle in his hand.

After a while, Qi Sheng came with his men.

Xiahou Yufei mounted his horse, drew his sword, and shouted angrily, "Go to Qin's mansion!"

-

It was daybreak and there were already many pedestrians on the street, because something big happened in Qinglong City last night.

"Tsk tsk, the Qin family was really raided last night!"

"I heard the noise too. It was the Xiahou family who raided the house! What a show of strength! I just went to take a look and the whole house was empty! Not only our city, but the Qin family in Xiyang will probably be raided too!"

"The notice has been posted. He has taken bribes and even beaten people to death! He has murdered women in the cabinet. Tsk tsk, the lives of the entire family are not enough to be killed..."

"That's not unfair!"

"Who told you that it was an injustice? Would the people in the cabinet do anything casually? What's more, they killed a lady of honor. They don't deserve to die with several lives!"

"It seems that the person has not been killed yet, but the ending is also the word death."

Overnight, the news of the Qin Mansion being raided spread almost throughout the city.

In the yard, Yi An gently shook the teacup in his hand.

The door was pushed open, and Zifei stepped forward and said, "Sir, I have heard that the Qin family was raided by Xiahou Yu and his men last night. Now only he and Gu Ling, who came back this morning, are in the city. The other two should have ambushed those people from the Xijiang tribe."

Yi An stared at the tea leaves in the cup, and suddenly raised his lips: "So, he is not with Ah Tao."

Zifei nodded.

"Find a chance to give this letter to A Tao." Yi An took it out from his sleeve and glanced at the handsome young man who was sitting tremblingly opposite him.

Zifei agreed and went out with the envelope.

Yi An chuckled and said, "Why are you shaking?"

The boy seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore. He picked up the bowl beside him and threw it at him, then stood up and ran outside.

Yi An dodged by turning his head, and moved to the side of the boy who was opening the door. He reached out and grabbed his shoulder. The boy screamed in pain: "Kill me! Don't hurt Sister Tao..."

Yi An pressed his acupuncture points, and the boy instantly felt his muscles and bones go weak and he could not even stand steadily. He could only stare with tearful eyes.

"I hurt A Tao?" He sneered, grabbed the boy and threw him to the ground.

"She is the person I love the most, how could I hurt her?"

The man in front of him looked down at him, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

Yi An squatted down and grabbed one side of his hair: "Be honest, I won't do anything to Tao, but you, I can separate your head from your body with just a flick of my finger."

The boy fell to the ground exhausted, sobbing uncontrollably.

Yian picked up the cloth strips to tie him up, then stood up and left the house, not forgetting to lock the door.

He returned to his study, picked up a pen, rolled up his fluttering sleeves with one hand, and painted on the rice paper.

With just a few strokes, a woman with her face turned sideways and smiling appeared vividly on the paper.

He applied a little crimson paint to the girl's lips, and this stroke made the smile on the person on the paper more lifelike.

Yian touched the eyes of the person in the painting with his fingers, and a fascinated smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"A Tao, it won't be long before you are mine forever."

He had made up his mind a long time ago. If he succeeded, he would kill her and take her away. If he failed, he would take her away. Even if he had to hide for the rest of his life, he wanted her to be by his side.

A Tao can only have him.

It was him who met Tao Tao first, it was obviously him! How could he be willing to watch his beloved woman being taken away by his arrogant nephew!

He doesn't want any jade slips or power, as long as Tao is by his side, he will take her away to a place where there is no one, and they will stay together for the rest of their lives.

It didn’t matter if she didn’t like him, even if she hated him, she had to be by his side.

Yian sat down on the chair, tapping the handle of the chair lightly with his fingers.

"Will she go with me?" Yi An muttered to himself, frowning slightly.

"She will. Tao is so kind. She won't watch the child get hurt."

He quickly determined the answer, appearing calm on the outside, but inwardly turmoil raged.

-

Tao Tao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt a chill behind her head and sat up abruptly.

The maid outside heard the noise and hurried in, asking, "The girl is finally awake."

Tao Tao pursed her lips with lingering fear and asked, "What time is it now? Have you found Nian Nian? Are Yin Yin and A Zheng okay?"

The maid handed her a glass of water and answered her one by one: "Miss Meng and Miss Xu rested last night after finding Madam, and they are still resting now. Madam was injured and has been treated. Lord Xiahou is guarding her."

Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled heavily.

Yiqing hasn't come back yet, so it seems that the people of the Xijiang tribe should have followed the same path as him and Pei Xuanxi.

Tao Tao turned over and combed her hair slowly.

The maid came back from outside with a letter in her hand: "Miss Tao, someone outside gave you a letter, saying that... a child named Ye Man gave it to you, and it was specifically given to you."

Tao Tao took it and felt a little unbelievable: Xiaoman actually came to Qinglong City?

She opened the letter and took a few glances at it. The content of the letter was actually asking her to redeem someone because Ye Man smashed that family's belongings.

"Why would Xiaoman smash other people's things? Is he being blackmailed?" Tao Tao said to himself, quickly packed up, took the silver and token and ran out.

She suddenly felt uneasy. Did Ye Man come here from Zhaoding City because something happened in the store?

Thinking of this, Tao Tao quickened his pace and rushed to the address on the letter.

-

When Xia Nian woke up, Xia Houyu was sitting on the bed, sleeping beside her with his back bent and his arms bent, his inky black hair loose.

She tilted her head slightly, and Xiahou Yu woke up immediately. He reached out to hold her hand, but was afraid of touching the wound on her palm, so he pinched the quilt and asked carefully: "Anian, you're awake... Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Xia Nian nodded and answered truthfully: "It hurts, all over my body." She raised her palm and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Did you wrap it for me?"

It’s wrapped like a rice dumpling, it would be strange if it wasn’t him.

Xiahou Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's me. Ah Nian, I'll go get the medicine, you lie down first."

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to walk outside. Xia Nian grabbed his hand in time. Xia Hou Yu paused, as if stunned.

Xia Nian said softly: "Let the servants bring it. I want you to accompany me."

Xia Houyu's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned around without hesitation, leaning against Xia Nian's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, Ah Nian, I will always be with you and will never make trouble with you again."

After saying this, he turned around and asked the maid who was guarding outside to bring the medicine.
