Zi You smiled comfortingly at her grandfather. She shook her head and said sweetly, âDonât worry, grandfather. Youâer can actually cure this little injury and wonât leave a scar. Donât go see the Emperor. If granddaughter doesnât even have this bit of skill, how could she hope to qualify to be a female doctor for the army? Grandfather, Youâer asked for a doctor because she wanted father to see that womanâs true face and no longer be fooled by her.â
Née Liu affectionately touched the fingerprint marks on Zi Youâs face. She angrily asked, âThat vicious woman! Why would she hit you?â
Zi You feigned she was in difficulties and shook her head. âI also donât know. Father saw that Shui YouLian was pitiful so he wanted to take her as his concubine. I thought that isnât too appropriate, but YouLian agreed. So I couldnât say too much and went to explain to mother.â
Zi Youâs tears glistened in her eyes and looked pitiful. âBut when I got there, before I could even speak, I saw the floor filled with broken porcelain. I asked mother what happened and she immediately ordered me to kneel...â
Zi You tearfully explained the events. Old General Mu angrily smacked his hand on a table. The table broke into pieces. âPoisonous woman! She canât control her husband and takes her anger out on you. Someone, call First Laoye and First Furen over. Theyâre rebelling. This old man is still alive and they dare to bully my motherless granddaughter.â
Mu YingYi said with a cold face, âI will call them. Father, ask brother if heâs willing to let me adopt Youâer. I will be Youâerâs father. I canât stand it anymore. Weâre still here and they dare to treat Youâer like this. If one day, weâre not here, Youâer...â
