Chapter 1241: Chapter 1236: Chu Xi Resembles Rong Sheng

Rong Sheng arrived at the Xiao family’s ancestral hall and saw Xiao Qingyu with his body slightly bent, kneeling inside.

His injuries were not light; being punished to kneel was already a very severe punishment, but in the air, there still lingered a thick scent of blood. Although it had been treated, it couldn’t escape Rong Sheng’s sensitive sense of smell.

Standing beside Xiao Qingyu with a medicine chest in hand, she frowned and spoke in a cold voice, “Did someone from the Xiao family lay their hands on you?”

If not, his original wounds wouldn’t be giving off such a bloody scent!

Xiao Qingyu looked up, forcing a smile at her, “Rong Sheng, you still… noticed, huh.”

He thought that by washing several times and wearing thicker clothes, as long as Rong Sheng didn’t apply medicine to him, she wouldn’t discover it.

...

Rong Sheng, seeing his thickly layered clothes meant to cover his wounds, coldly reminded him, “Your wounds can’t breathe like that, which is not conducive to healing, especially since you’ve been injured upon injury.”

As soon as she spoke, she ordered Xiao Qingyu to take off his clothes; she needed to apply medicine to him, ensuring he could hold on and help Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan uncover the truth behind the Xiao family’s affairs.

That was her promise to Su Yingxue.

Xiao Qingyu shook his head, “There’s no need.”

His wounds were really an embarrassment to show and would dirty Rong Sheng’s eyes. He didn’t want Rong Sheng to see him in such a wretched state and spoke softly, “Just leave some wound medicine for me, I can apply it myself… Don’t worry, I won’t die easily.”

“No way,” Rong Sheng firmly rejected, her eyes devoid of warmth, only the calm and rationality that a doctor should have, “You are my patient, and it’s my duty to heal you, to make you well.”

If she hadn’t taken the case, it would have been another matter, but having taken a patient, she must see him healed.

“I really don’t need it!”

Xiao Qingyu saw Rong Sheng squatting down, determined to apply the medicine to him, and ha struggled to say, “Don’t harm yourself for my sake, hurry back to the emperor and the empress. You are a doctor, you shouldn’t get involved in the Xiao family’s muddy waters.”

His brother, how incredibly astute and capable a man, had fallen into Xiao Muyan’s trap and now his whereabouts were unknown.

Even the emperor and empress hadn’t been able to find any clues!

Rong Sheng was just a doctor, and moreover, a doctor who had a daughter, a weakness that could be exploited by others.

The more Xiao Qingyu spoke like this, the more he ignited Rong Sheng’s stubbornness, “Healing you is my responsibility, and it’s also the condition I exchanged with Yingxue.”

She must fulfill it!

Regardless of whether Xiao Qingyu agreed or not, for the first time in her life, she took the initiative to reach out to unbutton a man’s clothes.

“What are you two doing?”

At the entrance, a robe embroidered with dragon patterns fluttered, heralding an endless heaviness and oppression.

Chu Yifeng exuded a chilling, bloodthirsty aura, and the red blood vessels in his eyes climbed up like vines, intertwining, and were terrifying to behold.

This fear was etched into Rong Sheng’s bones.

Her arms trembled subconsciously, always recalling the many times in the past when Chu Yifeng’s eyes turned red, and he inflicted various tortures on her.

The hatred in her heart flared up as well!

Chu Yifeng strode forward, his inner rage bubbling up. He swore that by the time he reached Xiao Qingyu, this man would already be dead!

How dared he touch Rong Sheng? If he dared to get intimate with Rong Sheng, he was finished!

He was as good as dead!

Chu Yifeng was only a step away from Xiao Qingyu, who was just half a step away from death himself when suddenly, a crisp and tender child’s voice broke the tension, “Daddy—”

Chu Xi stumbled over the threshold, holding the doorframe as she walked elegantly towards Chu Yifeng. She grabbed Chu Yifeng’s robe, pulling him back, as well as his reason.

The rage that had clouded Chu Yifeng’s mind slowly began to cool.

Chu Xi tilted her head up, her voice soft and tender, “Daddy, you walked so fast, Xi’er can’t keep up!”

Being small naturally meant she didn’t have the long legs of her father, Chu Yifeng. With each step he took, she had to take several, and so she was left behind!

Chu Yifeng held her as dear as his heart. A single word from her could dispel half of the ferocity in his heart, and he was even less willing to reveal his vicious and murderous side in front of her. Pinching her little cheek, he coaxed, “Be good, stand outside for a while. Daddy has some business to take care of.”

As he spoke, a sinister glint appeared in the corner of his eyes, falling upon Xiao Qingyu as if he were looking at a dead man.

In normal times, Xiao Qingyu would surely have started calculating how to deal with Chu Yifeng, but at this moment, as Chu Yifeng looked at him, an idea flashed through his mind—an idea to get Rong Sheng out of the Xiao family and to protect her for a long time!

Chu Yifeng.

He was the father of Rong Sheng’s child, after all!

With Chu Xi as the bond between them, even if Chu Yifeng were a madman, he wouldn’t harm Rong Sheng’s life!

At least in a dangerous place like the Xiao family, Chu Yifeng would surely preserve her life and safely escort her out!

Xiao Qingyu watched as Chu Yifeng tenderly soothed Chu Xi, and Chu Xi, looking at the kneeling Chu Yifeng, gently touched the corner of his eye and pouted, “Xi’er doesn’t like Daddy with red eyes, it’s scary.”

“Er…”

Chu Yifeng was put in a difficult position. His eyes… they would turn red whenever he was angry, and weren’t they always red when he killed?

And Chu Xi disliked that?

With great frustration, Chu Yifeng pushed down the fiery rage inside him and began to regulate his breath with his inner strength, allowing his aura to stabilize and the bloodthirstiness in his eyes to slowly fade away.

Chu Xi, seeing Chu Yifeng’s eyes becoming clear and bright, immediately broke into laughter.

She kissed Chu Yifeng’s eyes lightly, her voice sweet as she said, “Daddy’s eyes are so pretty, just like the black gems in the store!”

And they even reflected the two round horns on her head!

It was simply too beautiful!

A part of Chu Yifeng’s heart instantly melted like it had collapsed.

His daughter was truly delicate and endearing.

He was a demon in Yama’s Palace, a man whose eyes turned red with murder when he got angry!

With his daughter praising him like this, how could he go on with his killing?

Was Xiao Qingyu’s life still worth taking?

Chu Yifeng suddenly found himself in a dire dilemma. He had intended to kill Xiao Qingyu, but Xiao Qingyu smiled at Chu Xi and spoke an infuriating sentence, “Your Highness’s daughter really does resemble Doctor Rong.”

“What did you say?”

Chu Yifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharpness overflowed from his dark pupils.

“Your Highness must not only want to lose your life but your tongue as well!”

How dare he say that his daughter resembled Rong Sheng.

“Xiao Qingyu!”

Rong Sheng was also annoyed; she guessed the truth, but she never thought he would betray her secret!

Had she trusted the wrong person?

Xiao Qingyu felt helpless inside, but he had no choice but to continue with the prepared words, “Has Your Highness really not noticed? A daughter naturally bears some likeness to her mother. Doctor Rong, she…”
