ture queen. Anyone who dares to disrespect her again, don’t blame me for being ruthless! If anyone makes Xiaoge’er shed a single tear, I will make her weep a bowl of blood! She is my inverse scale, to..."Sure." Xiao Yuge readily agreed, snuggling into his embrace like a child: "I'm a little sleepy, I'll take a nap first, call me when it's time." She needed to plan carefully, what should she do next

The sleepy kitten, sleep. It's time for you to wake up. Qian Tingxuan adjusted his hold, making her more comfortable. His gaze towards the outside became cold: What exactly did Qian Sichin and Chu Tianqi want to do

However, no matter what they want to do, if they dare to hurt his little songbird, then don't blame him for turning his face cold!

Mansion of a wealthy official.

"Master, you said Qi'er has been out all day, yet there's no news at all What if Ge'er refuses Our hearts ache for both of them – flesh and blood. But, Fu'er... Master, if Ge'er is willing to give her eyes to Fu'er, then afterward, no matter what, we will bring Ge'er back. We cannot let her stay alone outside anymore." Mrs. Xiao said, wiping tears as she spoke.

"Ge'er, that child, really should move back home." Xiao Zhan seemed to agree with his wife's words.

"Master, mistress, the divine doctor has arrived!"

Xiao Zhan and his wife were worrying in the courtyard about their daughter's eye condition when a maid rushed in to report.

"Really" Xiao Zhan and his wife both stood up in unison upon hearing this.

"Indeed, the divine doctor said he has obtained the eyes and can perform the eye transplant surgery on the county princess immediately!"

"Wonderful!" Mrs. Xiao cried with joy upon hearing this.

After a long few hours of operation, Wumingzi finally completed the eye transplant surgery. The moment he stepped out of the room, Xiao Zhan and his wife immediately greeted him.

"Doctor, how is it going"

Everyone was on edge, wondering if this complex eye transplant surgery would be successful.

Wuzi took a long, deep breath and stroked his two whiskers with a hint of pride. "Don't worry, the Master and Madam, the eye transplant surgery was very successful. In ten to half a month, once the gauze is removed from the Lady's eyes, she will be completely healed."

Xiao Zhan and his wife, hearing this, also let out a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Divine Doctor!"

"By the way, Divine Physician, about these eyes...is the person who donated them alright" The Madam hesitated for a moment before asking.

"My lady, rest assured, he's fine. He just needs to rest for a couple of months and he'll be better." Wu Zi's eyes flickered slightly, but Xiao Zhan and his wife didn't notice at this time.

"That's good." A stone fell from the mistress's heart, but she was still a little uneasy: "Is she willing" Even though she had already prepared herself, if Ger couldn't bear it, she wouldn't force her. After all, this is an eye, how many people are willing to give

"He did it willingly. He even gouged out his own eyes, saying it was to repay the kindness of Master and Mistress!" Wúwèizi answered truthfully.

"Poor child," the lady thought, attributing Ge'er's understanding to her good nature. She felt even more sympathy for her, but compared to her own biological daughter, Ge'er was still less important.

Only then did Xiao Zhan realize that Chu Tianqi had not shown up at all. He furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "What time is it Where could this child have gone"

"Changing one's eyes is a complex procedure, Miss. You're likely to be in pain these next few days. Remember, no matter how unbearable it gets, don't rub your eyes with your hands, and absolutely don't cry, or all our efforts will be wasted!" Wuzi instructed carefully as she was leaving, "Also, eat lightly and stay in bed for the next few days to rest."

"Alright, thank you, divine physician!" Xiao Zhan felt grateful and instructed the old housekeeper beside him, "Go get the consultation fee for the divine physician!"

"Yes!"

After the divine doctor left, Xiao Zhan and his wife went into the room to check on their daughter. Seeing that she was finally quiet, the big stone in their hearts finally fell.

"My lady, it's getting late. Let Fu'er have a good rest. We should head back first," Xiao Zhan helped his wife to stand up.

“Hmm.” The madam rose and instructed An Ling, who was standing nearby, “An Ling, you must carefully record everything the divine doctor just said. Not a single word should be missed, do you understand” This had been exchanged for another daughter’s life, she absolutely couldn't let all her efforts go to waste.

"Yes, Madam! Your servant remembers."

After Xiao Zhan stepped out of the courtyard, he frowned and asked the attendant beside him: "Has the young master returned"

The attendant shook his head: "Young master hasn't returned since he went out today!"

This child is usually the most well-behaved, never worrying anyone. What happened today How could he be out all day Just looking outside, it's getting dark, and he still hasn't returned" Looking at the pitch black outside, Xiao Yu Zhan's brow furrowed with a hint of worry. The Xiang Mansion can no longer withstand any more blows right now.

"This Qi'er child is really something, at such a critical moment for Fu'er, how could he not be here He usually doted on Fu'er the most." The mistress was displeased, then suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that he went to accompany Ge'er"

Xiao Zhan thought about it and said, “My wife, regarding Fu’er's eyes, our Xiao family has indeed wronged Ge’er. In the future, we must definitely love her more.”

"Well, my lord is right. These few days, I shall personally go to Ruyi Pavilion and bring her back."

Xiao Zhan nodded and instructed the servant beside him, "Go find Young Master. See if he's at Ruyi Pavilion." For some reason, he felt a sense of unease.

Just then, Zhao Si hurried back.

"Xiao Zhao, where is Young Master Why aren't you by his side" Xiao Zhan saw Zhao Si return alone, and his heart ached inexplicably, as if he had sensed something had happened.

"Reporting back, Master, this afternoon Young Master said that the Emperor gave him a secret mission and he had to go out for a while. Oh, and he also handed me a letter, saying it was for Lord Xiang." Zhao said as he took out the letter and presented it to Xiao Zhan.

"A secret mission" Xiao Zhan and his wife looked at each other, their unease growing stronger. They quickly opened the letter. It contained only a few short sentences: "Dearest Parents, Qi'er is going out on a secret mission, and it may be a long time before he returns. Please forgive your unfilial son for not being able to serve you both. Take care of yourselves, Qi'er bids you farewell!"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Xiao Zhan's brow furrowed even tighter. It seemed like a farewell, and he asked Zhao Si again, "Xiao Zhao, did Young Master say where he was going"

Zhao Si shook his head: "Replying to Your Excellency, I am unaware."

"Alright, you may go now." Although Xiao Zhan felt that things were a bit sudden, now that Fu'er's eyes had been replaced, he let out a big sigh of relief. He thought the hardships of the Xiangfu were almost over.

But little did they know, the suffering of the Xiangfu family had just begun!had shaken him back was a young girl who seemed only in her teens. He couldn’t believe it—a girl this small could actually knock him back several steps. He must have been seeing things, his old eyes p...
