The soft sword wrapped around Dou Zhonghong's legs, and Xie Jinzhao's internal strength was instantly released. With a sharp scream, Dou Zhonghong's legs were broken at the knees.

The inch force exploded in his body like firecrackers, breaking his meridians inch by inch.

In a blink of an eye, Dou Zhonghong became a useless person.

Blood oozed from his skin, making it all red.

Killing is not too cruel, especially since the person he killed was Xie Jinzhao's former brother. If there is no deep hatred, it is difficult for ordinary people to be so cruel.

Xie Jinzhao put away her soft sword and walked up to Dou Zhonghong. She kicked him with her toes and made sure that he was useless before she put it away. "You want me to die?"

Dou Zhonghong's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, "Kill me!"

"No, I'm not that kind!" Xie Jinzhao's heart was filled with the sadness before her death in her previous life. It didn't matter if she died, but they used her as bait to lure and kill Ling Jinglan.

She killed Ling Jinglan.

She couldn't forgive her own stupidity, and all her stupidity was because she thought that the love between her and Lu Changyuan was everlasting until death. She thought that she was the daughter of the Dou family and her blood was thicker than water.

"Why?" Dou Zhonghong asked angrily.

"Because you are stupid!" Xie Jinzhao took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped the blood off the Rouge Sword, and put it around his waist.

Not far away, Ling Jinglan saw this scene and felt his skin tighten.

There has never been a moment when he regretted as much as he does now. If everything could be done over again, he would be willing to reveal his soul to her when they first met.

Dou Zhonghong was carried back covered in blood.

After the doctor made a diagnosis, he shook his head and said, "Young Master's injuries are too serious. I am sorry that I am incapable of treating you. Please seek help from someone else!"

Several imperial doctors were invited over, and after the consultation, they all shook their heads and said, "The meridians are severed, and he will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life."

Xue's eyes went dark and this time she really fainted.

Dou Yi's eyes were red. He had already ruined one of his sons. His eldest son, who used to be as resourceful as ever, had become a sickly person and it was unknown how many days he could live. His second son was a martial arts expert and was the one doing many shady things. He planned to let his second son take this opportunity to join the army.

If the mission fails, life would be worse than death.

"Did that bitch do it?" Dou Yi cursed.

Dou Zhonghong raised his fingers, unable to move. He could only speak his own words, "Father, we shouldn't have given up on Jin Zhao."

Dou Miaojin ran in and heard these words. She was about to say, who is your biological sister after all? If you don't give up Xie Jinzhao, are you going to give up on her too? But the smell of blood hit her nose, her stomach churned, and she held onto the door frame and vomited.

Dou Yi looked at Dou Miaojin with disgust. "Even if we gave up on her, it was because she was not good enough. The daughter of the Dou family has only one value in existence, and that is marriage. She couldn't hold Lu Changyuan's heart, so she deserved to be abandoned."

The reluctance burned him like a flame.

"But even so, she shouldn't treat you two brothers like this." Dou Yi was so angry that his face turned purple.

Dou Mengshen knew that as long as Xie Jinzhao was willing to take action, his injury would not be a problem, but now, this has become a luxury. Seeing how ruthlessly Jinzhao attacked Dou Zhonghong, one can imagine Xie Jinzhao's hatred for the Dou family.

If it was just the Dou family that gave up on her and chose Dou Miaojin, Jin Zhao shouldn't hate them so much, unless she knew something.

"He is so cruel!" Dou Yi gnashed with hatred.

"Father, there is no point in saying this now." Dou Mengshen said, "Xie Jinzhao has already chosen Prince Zhuang, and it will be a life-and-death battle from now on. Second brother's plan has failed, so we must inform the Dingguo Mansion as soon as possible so that the Dingguo Duke can make plans early."

Dou Yi nodded, "Then there is only one last move left."

Duke Dingguo has many military generals under his command, but Lu Changyuan is not good at building up power. Over the years, there are not many military generals who can still serve Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Lu Changyuan only has Guo Xiao available at the moment.

Dou Miaojin was holding onto the pillar while vomiting. Ruyi supported her and reminded her, "Miss, your period hasn't come yet. How about asking the imperial physician to check your pulse?"

Dou Miaojin felt something was wrong. It was impossible for her to get pregnant after being poisoned by love, as the love poison itself was infertile.

But when she thought about the three pills she bought from Yanzhi Jian, her eyes lit up, "Quick, go tell my father to ask a doctor to check my pulse."

Three imperial physicians in a row diagnosed the patient with slippery pulse.

Although Dou Miaojin was an divorced wife of Duke Dingguo, now that she was pregnant, who knew whether she would be able to reconcile with Duke Dingguo in the future? Moreover, seeing that the Dou family members looked happy, the imperial doctors all congratulated her.

Dou Shuxun brought Dou Miaojin's dowry and sent her to Duke Dingguo's Mansion in a grand manner early in the morning.

Before he arrived, the news that Dou Miaojin was pregnant with Duke Dingguo's child spread throughout the capital.

In the Dingguo Mansion, Lu Changting cried and wiped her tears. "She has the nerve to come back. Who knows if the piece of meat in her belly is really my brother's."

Lu Changyuan's face also looked ugly, and he looked at the brother and sister in silence.

He had also heard about Dou Zhonghong's affairs.

"Duke Dingguo, I am a businessman. When we talk about things, I only care about interests, not feelings. Let me talk about the interests of our two families. First of all, the child in Miaojin's belly must be yours. If the Duke Dingguo's Mansion doesn't want it, my Dou family is also simple. After a bowl of soup, even a piece of gold will flow away."

Dou Shuxun was very straightforward and Lu Changyuan was stunned for a moment.

"To be honest, my father and two brothers also regretted giving up Jin Zhao, but no matter how much they regretted, things have already happened. My eldest brother is seriously injured and dying. Duke Dingguo can go and see the second brother's condition in person, then maybe you will give up. Jin Zhao can be said to be the most cruel and ruthless woman I have seen in these years. Few men in the world can compare to her."

Dou Miaojin was still frightened, "Brother Changyuan, Jinzhao has broken all of my second brother's meridians, and he has become a disabled person. Brother Changyuan, I am so worried about you. I am pregnant with your child. If anything happens to you in the future, how will mother and son live?"

"Then there is the relationship between our two families." Dou Shuxun continued, "Jin Zhao has already chosen Prince Zhuang. This time, Jin Zhao should be determined to become Cao Zhen's deputy. Unless Duke Dingguo gives up the battlefield in Southern Shu, otherwise, there will only be tit-for-tat."

Dou Shuxun smiled and said, "Could it be that Duke Dingguo still cares about the relationship between husband and wife? Even if you do, Jin Zhao may not."

"She probably won't care." Lu Changyuan felt heartbroken.

He raised his eyes to look at Dou Miaojin, "If you want to stay in the Dingguo Mansion, that's fine. You'll be a big mouth in the mansion, but don't even think about your status. The Dingguo Mansion can't afford to lose this person."

Dou Miaojin was unwilling to accept this, "Brother Changyuan, do you think the baby in my belly has no status?"

Lu Changyuan: "I will only have one wife in my life, and that is Jin Zhao. Even if she hates me to the core and never comes back, I will always keep her as my first wife, so you don't have to dream about it."
