I want to make progress

Chapter 75 Exposed
"Why? The Liangyi Cult dared to burn down the capital and assassinate the emperor and the empress dowager, but why did they target an unlearned person like Meng Xichen? Their target is the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion?"

With a frown on his face, Gu Changting was full of confusion. Now that the imperial court was hunting down the Liang Yi Sect, it had become a pariah crossing the street. Even if it was popular again, many people would stay away from it.

Those members of the Yin-Yang Sect went into hiding and disappeared without a trace, but even so, many of them were caught by the court's full efforts.

Instead of hiding themselves, they took huge risks and provoked the Duke of Protectorate during this sensitive period. Isn't this trouble enough?
Moreover, they took such a huge risk just to give a warning to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. The behavior of the Liangyi Sect was too strange.

"clever!"

This brain, no wonder he is the Duke of England, is so quick-witted. "I overheard that they said they wanted to give a warning to the Duke of the Protectorate. It seems that the Liangyi Sect cooperated with the Duke of the Protectorate and was deceived by him. But I don't know the details."

"Those people from the Liangyi Sect broke Meng Xichen's legs and left. I completely crippled Meng Xichen's legs and left without caring about it."

"I thought this information should be useful to you, and I was thinking of asking Yuyan to pass a message to Qixian tomorrow. I don't want you to come to me, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."

She got out of bed and called Yuyan outside to prepare hot water for her. The man probably didn't have the heart to think about those messy things anymore, so he just took a shower and went to bed.

Her guess was right. After hearing this, Gu Changting really had no mind to think about anything else. He got up, dressed, and prepared to leave overnight.

Under the light of candlelight, the jade pendant on Gu Changting's waist was crystal clear and radiated a lustrous luster, and the silver silk threads on his moon-white robe were glittering. After getting dressed, he looked at the woman who was bathing in the smoke behind the screen, and a hint of tenderness rose between his brows.

"I have to go now. I'll see you next time."

He walked around the screen, bent down, caressed her delicate and soft cheek, and placed a light kiss on her lips.

"Men's mouths are deceitful. Who knows when you will come next time?"

Her white arms were stained with pink petals, and white mist moistened her fair cheeks. She clutched his collar, wrinkling his meticulous collar, bit his lips hard, watched the red blood flow out, and laughed mischievously.

She pushed the slightly frowning man away and said, "They are not as good as your eldest daughter and eldest son. At least they know to give me jewelry."

"Let's go! Go and do your thing."

"You're so angry."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Gu Changting smiled helplessly, pulled the person over and kissed him fiercely, and did not let him go until a long while later.

"Although no one saw that you broke Meng Xichen's leg, you lured him out and he showed up. When Meng Xichen realizes what's going on, he'll probably suspect you. Don't go out recently. Be obedient! Okay~"

"ok, ok, I got it!"

She leaned weakly in the bathtub and rolled her eyes at him. Of course she knew this. She didn't dare to run around when things were so tense. At first, Meng Xichen had chased her because of her beauty. Who knows if he will become even more perverted after his leg was broken?

It’s better to just lie low these days!

After crippling Meng Xichen's leg and venting the anger that had been pent up in her heart, Shu Yunfu did plan to stay at home for a while, but she didn't expect that. She wanted to avoid the spotlight for a while, but Meng Xichen had no intention of letting her go.

After this bastard Meng Xichen was discovered, he was sent back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion by the people of the Jingzhao prefect. All the famous doctors in the capital and the imperial doctors in the palace were brought to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion for treatment.

Whether it was the highly skilled and respected doctors outside the palace, or the best imperial physicians inside the palace, they all shook their heads after seeing Meng Xichen's condition.

This injury can be cured, but even the best doctors cannot restore his leg to its original state. This is also due to the good medical skills of these doctors and imperial physicians. If it were a mediocre doctor, the leg would have to be amputated, let alone healed. It is a miracle that the doctors and imperial physicians have been able to save his limbs!
But it was obvious that the people in the Duke's Mansion did not accept this result, especially the Duke's wife, who loved her son the most. She had managed to stay strong and not faint like her mother-in-law, but when the result came out, she immediately went to accompany her mother-in-law.

The Duke of Huguo was so angry that he threatened the doctors and imperial physicians, saying that he would punish them if they failed to cure the disease.

Normally, we only hear about how the old lady and the wife of the Duke of Protectorate dote on Meng Xichen, but in fact, the Duke of Protectorate dotes on his son as well. Meng Xichen's hateful personality is due to the contribution of his father.

But no matter how reluctant or angry they are, the result will not change because of their unwillingness to accept it. Meng Xichen's leg is doomed!
When Meng Xichen woke up, he knew he had become a cripple and went crazy. After wailing in pain and going crazy, he could only painfully accept the fact, but he hated the person who made him crippled.

He grabbed his father and brother's sleeves, with red eyes and a distorted face, asking them to help him get revenge. He wanted to destroy the Liangyi Sect!
But at the same time, he did not reveal the existence of Shu Yunfu. He believed that the murderer who killed him was the Liangyi Sect, and Shu Yunfu was just a coincidence. Telling it out would only make his father and brothers blame and be angry with him for having a lame leg because of a woman.

The Duke of Protectorate focused all their hatred on the Liangyi Sect and did not notice the existence of Shu Yunfu.

But other people didn't care about it, but Meng Xichen was thinking about it.

Because of Shu Yunfu, he fell into the hands of Liangyi Sect and became lame. Liangyi Sect will not let him go, but he also wants to get this woman Shu Yunfu.

Now it was not because of Shu Yunfu's good looks, but a kind of paranoia. His legs were lame, and if he still couldn't get that woman, he would never be willing to accept it.

After his father and brothers left, feeling the severe pain in his legs, Meng Xichen gritted his teeth and called his lackeys to ask them to think of a way to kidnap Shu Yun before he left the door.

If Shu Yunfu was a concubine of an ordinary official, or even the wife or daughter of the official, he would arrogantly have someone send her directly to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. But Shu Yunfu was from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.

Even if she is just the concubine of that useless guy Gu Changheng from the second house, this is the only way to get her here.

That’s right, that bastard Meng Xichen had already found Shu Yunfu’s whereabouts and knew Shu Yunfu’s identity.

In order to witness the wonderful play she had arranged that day, Shu Yunfu watched Meng Nianjiao catch the adulterer in a private room of a small restaurant, but she didn't expect Meng Xichen to be there that day as well.
