When they arrived at the clinic, the doctor wanted to strip Tuoba Jin of his clothes to check for internal injuries. Tuoba Jin protected his collar and stared at him like a little wolf.

The doctor felt frightened by being looked at, and hesitantly looked at Xiao Linglang who was concerned about the result.

Xiao Linglang: ...

After she realized what was happening, she blushed with shame. Didn't she know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? She was afraid that someone would die, so she ignored the etiquette.

Xiao Linglang thought that the doctor was really good at joking. She eased the heat on her face and explained softly to the person on the bed, "That's the doctor, not someone who would hurt you. Don't be afraid, he's a good person."

Tuoba Jin originally wanted to grab the little girl's hand, but thinking that the customs of the people in Liang were not as good as those in Mobei, in order to avoid being annoyed by her, he grabbed her sleeve instead and gestured a few times casually.

Xiao Linglang blinked, and thought carefully about what he meant by the gesture. Finally, her face turned redder, and her tone was full of guilt. She murmured: "I, don't understand what you mean."

She really couldn't tell what he was gesturing at. The only thing she could understand was that he didn't want the doctor to get close to her.

Xiao Linglang frowned her delicate eyebrows.

Tuoba Jin didn't need to lift the veil covering the little girl's face to imagine her conflicted expression.

Chanxin and Langzhong also frowned in the back. This little mute is really hard to please.

"I'm here." Chanxin couldn't stand it anymore. This man had delayed her young lady for too long and wanted to ruin her young lady's reputation. This was even more unacceptable.

He rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips and walked over.

Xiao Linglang rubbed to the side and warned, "Be careful."

The two of them had just finished talking when the person on the bed moved again, covering his chest and suddenly coughing loudly.

Xiao Linglang was anxious, so she pressed down his arm, motioned the doctor to come over, and urged in a tender voice, "Doctor, hurry up."

The doctor wiped his sweat. He had seen many difficult patients, but this was the first time he had seen such a tall patient.

After much effort, we finally came to the conclusion.

"He was beaten by someone!"

There was a palm print on the chest.

Xiao Linglang caught a glimpse of the red marks on the person's snow-white skin, her face flushed with heat, and she quickly turned her head away.

"That should be the case. When we went down, a group of people chased him."

Xiao Linglang raised her finger and said, after his injury is treated, she will let the driver take him to the government office to report.

"Was he injured by us?" This question was very important, Chanxin stretched out his hand to ask.

Langzhong glanced at the woman on the bed who looked like she was forced into prostitution. His eyebrows moved slightly and he shook his head. "She has a few scratches on her body."

"That's good." Chanxin patted his chest, turned around and happily pulled Xiao Linglang's arm, "Miss, he is not our problem. We are good people for sending him to the hospital for treatment."

Xiao Linglang stuck out her tongue under the veil. Her tense spirit was completely relaxed. She smiled, and her soft voice was filled with joy.

"Thank you, doctor." She bowed to the doctor coquettishly.

The doctor waved his hand politely and asked them to pay the bill.

After Chanxin settled the bill, he came back and took Xiao Linglang's arm and was about to leave.

Tuoba Jin glanced at the nosy maid with a sinister look, but when his eyes fell on Xiao Linglang, they were pitiful, as if she were an abandoned puppy.

He quickly stretched out his hand, and when Xiao Linglang took half a step, she felt someone pulling her. She turned around and saw that the person had grabbed her clothes at some point.

Xiao Linglang tilted her head subconsciously.

Chanxin was immediately unhappy and took action, with a "snap" sound.

Tuoba Jin's hands suddenly turned red, a dark look flashed across his eyes, and he suppressed his murderous rage.

Then he looked at Xiao Linglang even more pitifully.

"Let go!" Chanxin was furious. She suspected that this man knew her young lady and was deliberately blackmailing them. "Our young lady will have someone take you to report to the police later. You just stay here first. We have given you money."

When he turned to look at Xiao Linglang, Chanxin's attitude changed 180 degrees, "Miss, let's go back. The government is in charge anyway, and those people are so fierce, we can't help here."

After Chanxin finished speaking, Xiao Linglang felt that the man was holding her hand even tighter. Her eyes fell on his hand, where bright red fingerprints were left.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone escort you there."

Tuoba Jin pretended not to understand.

After a while of arguing in the clinic, Xiao Linglang finally relented and let him get on the carriage. She and Chanxin squeezed in outside with the coachman and took the man back to his residence.

Because... this person is not only mute, but also has no name.

Xiao Linglang thought about it and decided to temporarily leave the person with the driver until he remembered.

Zenxin glared at the carriage indignantly, as if he could see the people inside through the window.

"I think he did it on purpose, he wants to rely on us."

Xiao Linglang now clenched her handkerchief and smiled awkwardly.

She felt the same way.

That's why she decided to leave the person with the coachman.

She looked back at the carriage. She didn't know if it was because she was suspicious, but she always felt that there was a pair of burning eyes staring at her from behind.

"Stop." Xiao Linglang suppressed her racing thoughts. She was so scared that she was almost dying of fear.

After returning to the Xiao Mansion, she asked Chanxin to arrange for that person, and she went to Yang Qingwan's yard.

This time, Yang Qingwan did not refuse to see her, but her eyes were filled with a hint of mockery.

Xiao Linglang stepped forward hesitantly, "Mother, it is Linglang who is too arrogant."

She thought about the way the shop owners looked down upon people, and for a moment she could not help feeling annoyed.

"How could they do this! Daddy has never treated him unfairly. They are simply..."

"Okay." Yang Qingwan interrupted her calmly, "I heard you bumped into someone outside."

Xiao Linglang lowered her head, nodded sullenly, carefully raised her eyes to glance at Yang Qingwan's face, and replied hesitantly: "Yes, he was hit, but the doctor said that he was not hit, and he was beaten by a bad guy."

"Yeah." There was no change in Yang Qingwan's expression.

Xiao Linglang bit her lip. She felt that her mother was weird. Thinking of the person at the coachman's place, she opened her mouth to tell him about it.

But Yang Qingwan gave him an indifferent look and said, "I know, you can go down."

Xiao Linglang inexplicably felt a sour taste in her nose and raised her eyes to look at Yang Qingwan, but Yang Qingwan avoided her gaze and stared intently at the tea in the cup.

"Mother, please have a rest. Linglang will take his leave."

After Xiao Ling left, the maid who served Yang Qingwan came over and replaced the cold tea in front of Yang Qingwan. She looked out worriedly and said, "Madam, I feel bad for you to treat Miss like this."

"If I continue to pamper her like before, what should I do if she is reluctant to go with Chang Hui? I got the news that Chang Hui passed the joint examination. Now it depends on how he does in the palace examination." Yang Qingwan pinched her brows.

She could only keep the things Xiao Jingyuan left for the children, and she had to settle them down as soon as possible to avoid them being exploited in the future.

The nanny sighed, still a little worried, "But the young lady is in mourning..."

"Chang Hui is a good child." Yang Qingwan was relieved. "Linglang's dowry is generous. Even if an official looks down on merchants, he still needs money to manage them."

There were whispers in the house, and a sneer on the roof was lost in the dark night with the wind. No one noticed a black shadow passing by and heading straight for Wangshu Garden.
