“It’s definitely impossible to recover. The meridians in your arm are damaged too severely, so you naturally won’t be able to lift heavy things in the future!” Lin Suisui said truthfully. She didn’t want to hide the truth from the profligate young master in front of her.

“Then, I won’t be able to hug young ladies?!” Du Yuanruo widened his eyes and looked at Lin Suisui in disbelief. Despair filled him and tears flowed again. “Then, what’s the point of me living?!”

“…You can let girls hug you.” Lin Suisui looked at Du Yuanruo with exasperation as she raised her hand and pointed at his arm, which he didn’t dare to move even when he was crying. “Let me see the wound! Of course, if you really don’t want to live, you don’t have to.”

“No, no, no. I-I didn’t say that I wanted to die!” Seeing that Lin Suisui was really about to turn around and leave, Du Yuanruo quickly stopped crying and stopped Lin Suisui, who had already taken a few steps towards the door.

The servant quickly reached out and helped untie the gauze bandage on Du Yuanruo’s arm. Lin Suisui stuck her head out and took a look. She was very satisfied with the recovery progress.

Lu Ze said that the medicine for Du Yuanruo was a secret medicine of the Du family. It seemed that it was very effective!

“Alright, as long as you don’t mess around anymore, your arm will be saved! However, you can’t use this arm to do any heavy lifting for at least a year. It’s best if you hang a strap on your chest. If you really suffer any more accidents, you can only find a doctor in the capital to cut it off for you!”

Lin Suisui retracted her gaze and spoke calmly to Du Yuanruo, mainly because of the servant standing beside him.

After saying this, she didn’t stay any longer. She turned around and walked back with Lu Ze through the thick snow.

This trip went smoothly. Du Yuanyi didn’t come out to cause trouble.

Lu Ze told her that night that Du Yuanyi was going to bring Du Yuanruo back to the capital. Lin Suisui was stunned for a moment before she understood the reason.

“So, Du Yuanruo was injured this time…”

Lin Suisui blinked. Lu Ze didn’t finish his sentence, but it wasn’t difficult to guess his meaning. However, Lu Ze shook his head. “It wasn’t Pei Qian who did it. Pei Qian is just an observer.”

“Oh. Anyway, as long as Du Yuanruo doesn’t continue to cause trouble, at least his arm will stay intact!” Lin Suisui nodded. She also knew that things had already exceeded her imagination. Anyway, this matter didn’t seem to have much to do with her, so she naturally didn’t ask.

Lu Ze sat in the ox cart, but he had no intention of resting.

Lin Suisui turned around and realized that something was wrong with him, so she couldn’t help but frown slightly and ask in a low voice, “What’s wrong?!”

“It’s fine. Du Yuanyi is leaving tomorrow, so we should be cautious tonight.” Lu Ze reached out and tucked Lin Suisui in. His tone was calm, making Lin Suisui feel assured.

She looked at Lu Ze and thought for a moment before instructing in a low voice, “Be careful. You have to take care of yourself first.”

Pei Qian was in charge, so if anything happened, it would be more appropriate for him to deal with it. She and Lu Ze were just an ordinary couple in the refugee camp. It was best to stay away from these disputes.

“Don’t worry, I won’t offend anyone if they don’t cross me! As long as Du Yuanyi doesn’t have any designs on Little White, I guarantee that everything will be fine tonight.” Lu Ze turned his head gently and lifted the window curtain to look out. Seeing that there was nothing unusual outside, he continued to whisper, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

“This is for you.” Lin Suisui stood up and took out a small bag from under her pillow. She stuffed it into Lu Ze’s hand. “This is the knockout powder I made previously with the herbs from the mountain.

Although the effect of the medicine wasn’t powerful enough to knock someone out immediately, it could at least make people feel nauseous and dizzy for a short period of time.

Take it. It might be useful.”

This was a medicinal powder that Lin Suisui had prepared for herself to save her life at critical moments.

“These herbs are not easy to find now. You should keep this for yourself.” Lu Ze didn’t take it away. Instead, he gave it back to Lin Suisui. “If you encounter trouble when I’m not around, you will have a way to save your life.”

Seeing that Lu Ze insisted, Lin Suisui didn’t force him to accept it. Instead, she stuffed it under her pillow.

“Don’t worry, I can protect myself!” Lu Ze reached out and tucked Lin Suisui’s hair behind her ear. “I can protect you too. Go to sleep.”

Just as Lu Ze had said to Lin Suisui previously, the refugee camp became chaotic in the middle of the night.

However, they were not targeted. Instead, it was the tent where Pei Qian, Du Yuanyi, and the other officials in charge of escorting the refugees lived.

In particular, the tent where Du Yuanyi and Du Yuanruo lived was heavily targeted!

However, the black-clothed and masked assassins who rushed in this time didn’t expect that after they rushed into the tent, it was actually empty. Even the bed had been tidied.

Realizing that something was wrong, the assassins subconsciously turned around to run. However, before they could rush out, arrows pierced the tent and stabbed the assassins who rushed in.

Since the assassins inside were dead, the assassins outside were naturally not any better.

After a fierce battle, the corpses of the men in black were already lying on the ground.

One of them, a short man, seemed to be the leader of their group. Seeing that they had already fallen into the trap and could no longer gain any advantage, he quickly instructed the remaining people to cooperate and try their best to break out.

There were greeted by another round of arrows from the outer circle. Another group of assassins around him fell. There were only four to five left who could protect him and listen to his orders.

“I’ve already set up an inescapable net. Let’s see where you guys can escape to this time!” Pei Qian wore a black cloak as he slowly walked through the crowd to the assassins.

He tapped the pure gold hand stove in his hand and glanced at the assassins with a smile. “Wipe out those annoying bugs!”

As soon as Pei Qian finished speaking, the arrows were shot again. Although the last few people around the thin assassin had already raised their sabers to block them, their vital points were still pierced and they fell down around the petite black-robed man.
