Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 142: I’m Here!

“We were not overly calculative regarding Qin Xiruo’s matter as we did not wish to destroy the harmony between the two families. Qin Yumei and Ling Xiaoting were never two willing parties in the first place, and thus rejecting the marriage could be considered normal. However, the Qin family used this an excuse and have been unrelenting,” said the first elder, rage appearing on his face.

“After that, they changed and instantly created a marital alliance with the Luo family. Second brother was hurt during a sneak attack when he left one night to provide treatment. I think it was arranged by either the Qin family or the Luo family.”

“How are the second elder’s injuries?” asked Ling Chuxi somewhat anxiously.

The first elder went silent, making her even more anxious.

His face was gloomy as he said helplessly, “Second brother’s quite seriously injured. He is still lying in bed. I have already sent someone to invite a doctor from White Stone City.”

“The White Stone City doesn’t necessarily have anyone with medical skills comparable to the second elder. He himself does not even have a solution, and you all are still putting hope on those people!” yelled Ling Chuxi.

The first’s elder’s words made her so anxious that she immediately rushed out and went to the second elder’s home. Ling Yichen immediately followed after her. Sighing, the first elder also followed after them.

His footsteps, however, became much heavier. The person who had snuck an attack on the second elder was definitely someone from either the Qin family or the Luo family. The significance of the second elder’s existence in the Ling family was out of the ordinary.

He was proficient in medical skills and was a Tier-3 pill master. If he was no longer around, the Ling family’s cultivation would be greatly weakened! This was why the Qin family and the Luo family had so desperately tried to find a way to get rid of the second elder.

Ling Chuxi sped up and very quickly arrived at the second elder’s home. From outside, she could already hear someone coughing their lungs out.

A young, childish voice could be heard crying inside, “Grandfather. Oh, grandfather, you are coughing blood. Sob! Grandfather...”

That was the second elder’s youngest grandchild, Ling Shiyu. He was only nine years old.

The second elder’s rebuke was heard shortly after, “You are not allowed to cry! Our Ling family’s people cannot be so weak!” Another bout of horrible coughing was heard. “Shiyu, don’t cry. Even if grandfather is no longer around, you cannot cry. You need to be strong. The Ling family still needs to rely on you guys. Do you know that?”

“No, I don’t want grandfather to die. I don’t want!” came the sound of Ling Shiyu’s voice. It was just that there was no more crying this time round.

Ling Chuxi could not bear to continue listening to their conversation. She abruptly pushed the doors wide open and rushed inside.

The house was filled with a faint bloody stench. The second elder was half lying on the bed. His face was incomparably pale, as if he had aged more than ten years. Seeing Ling Chuxi suddenly entering, the second elder was stunned.

“Chuxi, why have you returned?!” he asked. His tone contained a little worry and blame.

“I won’t return, I won’t return again. Do you want me to just send you off without even letting me see you for the last time?!” Ling Chuxi’s nose had started to tingle, like she was about to cry, as she hollered angrily.

He was already injured to such an extent, and yet he was actually still unwilling to let people bring word to her and get her to return. All because he was worried that her studies at the academy would be affected!

Such care and concern for her, but at the moment, Ling Chuxi’s heart felt that it was extraordinarily hard to bear.

The second elder smiled bitterly, wanting to explain, but was interrupted by a violent bout of coughing. “Cough, cough. Chuxi, it’s not like that...”

Without saying another word, Ling Chuxi went forward and grabbed the second elder’s wrist, checking his pulse.

The second elder was stunned, but very quickly said while smiling bitterly, “Chuxi, there’s no need to check again. I am very aware of my own situation. This time, my spleen was injured. There is no chance of survival.”

Ling Chuxi raised her head. “Hmph! I’m here! Even if the king of hell came by personally, he doesn’t even need to think of taking you away!” she said determinedly.
