Chapter 2: The male lead runs fast! The dog emperor is about to confiscate the family!

A few fierce-looking servants immediately rushed towards Su Qingning.

Su Qingning recognized them; they were all people who had often bullied the original owner in the past.

Without holding back, she directly grabbed the peanuts, red dates, and longan from the happy bed and threw them at the group.

“Bang—bang—bang—”

More than a dozen round objects shot out from Su Qingning’s hands, hitting their targets accurately.

Several servants were instantly hit on the head, causing large bumps, and they rolled on the ground, holding their heads in pain.

Shen Shi also got three large swollen bumps on her head, looking like a mutated golden horned king.

Blood gushed out as if it were free, and she cried out in pain, sitting on the ground and gasping for air.

“Oh no—oh no—there’s no justice, this little wretch even dares to hit her elders at home!”

She raised her hand to summon the guards she had brought with her.

“All of you, go! Don’t hold back. If I don’t teach this little wretch a lesson today, she won’t know how much she weighs!”

Su Qingning’s eyes flashed with killing intent, and she was ready to retaliate.

But suddenly, a chilling voice pierced through the air.

“What are you doing?”

Su Qingning looked up and saw a man as beautiful as a celestial being, slowly approaching in a wheelchair.

With just one glance, Su Qingning knew he was the male lead of this novel, the original owner’s husband—the warlord Xiao Huaishuo.

The reason was simple; he was too good-looking, just as described in the novel.

With sword-like brows and starry eyes, a straight nose, and skin like beautiful jade. Just sitting there, he exuded the imposing aura described in the original text: ‘killing a person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.’

He completely matched Su Qingning’s aesthetic!

Unfortunately, not long ago, Xiao Huaishuo was betrayed by a trusted subordinate during the battle at Lantian Pass and was severely injured. This led to the recurrence of his old poison, causing him to lose all feeling in his legs.

Su Qingning silently lamented that such a heroic figure had suffered such a blow.

Xiao Huaishuo’s legs would only meet a famous doctor in the later part of the original book and be completely healed. She had to find an opportunity to check his pulse; perhaps she could cure him?

Although the emperor intended to eliminate the warlord’s residence, Xiao Huaishuo was still a powerful foreign prince in the Da Qian dynasty.

The group of servants who had come to cause trouble immediately trembled in fear. Shen Shi shakily stepped forward to bow.

“Lord… Lord… Miss Su Er has been spoiled since childhood and doesn’t understand the rules. I… I was afraid she would offend the lord, so I was preparing to educate her.”

Xiao Huaishuo’s expression was unreadable, but his clean voice carried the pressure of thousands of troops.

“Shen Aunt…”

“Our Da Qian law is strict; when did it become the turn of a servant to teach the dignified warlord’s wife?!”

Under Da Qian law, a concubine is considered a servant. It was only because Prime Minister Su was used to favoring concubines over wives that Shen Shi had become accustomed to her domineering ways.

Xiao Huaishuo’s words were like a bucket of cold water, completely waking Shen Shi up. She trembled in fear.

“Yes… Yes… What the lord said is right… I will never dare again. I beg the lord to spare me this time, considering it is my first offense.”

Xiao Huaishuo had no intention of arguing with such people on his wedding night; he raised his hand and lightly ordered:

“Take them out; the warlord’s residence does not welcome people who do not distinguish between high and low!”

The group quickly knelt down to apologize. As Shen Shi lowered her head, a flash of malice crossed her eyes.

Xiao Huaishuo might only be able to bounce around for today. The emperor intended to exile the entire Xiao family, and by then, Xiao Huaishuo’s status would be even lower than that of her as a concubine!

Little did she know that the next second, the hidden guards behind Xiao Huaishuo stepped forward and threw Shen Aunt out.

It was truly like throwing away garbage, ‘sending’ her thousands of miles away!

Then, the servants brought by Shen Shi were all thrown out of the courtyard with a series of “bangs.” Outside, there was an immediate chorus of cracking bones and anguished screams of “ah ah ah.”

Su Qingning could hardly contain her laughter; Xiao Huaishuo’s decisive and ruthless methods were exactly to her taste.

Seeing Xiao Huaishuo in his wheelchair approaching her, she quickly imitated the posture from a TV drama and bowed to him.

When facing Su Qingning, Xiao Huaishuo’s expression clearly softened a lot.

A faint smile appeared on his eternally icy handsome face as he stuffed a warm oil-paper package into Su Qingning’s hands.

“Are you hungry? Have something to fill your stomach first.”

“I know you are actually the young lady of the Su family, forced to marry here. Don’t worry, you are now my wife, and I will treat you well.”

“Now that the emperor is closely watching the warlord’s residence, I can’t take any action. Once the storm passes, if you… if you… don’t want to follow this useless man, I will write a letter to divorce you.”

Su Qingning held the pastry in her hand, feeling warm inside, and tears shimmered in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

At this moment, she couldn’t think of anything else. She placed the pastry on the table and reached out to take his pulse.

“Don’t move, I learned medicine from my mother. Let me see if I can cure you.”

Xiao Huaishuo thought little of it. His leg ailment was something even his friend, the renowned physician Xue, couldn’t resolve; how could a young girl take his pulse and cure him?

However, inexplicably, looking at Su Qingning’s determined eyes and her focused expression while checking his pulse, Xiao Huaishuo felt as if she radiated light.

He couldn’t bring himself to stop her and quietly watched as she took his pulse.

“This poison was put in your meals when you were very young. It’s just that your constitution is much stronger than others, which is why it didn’t manifest.”

“Only recently, after you were severely injured, did the poison finally break out.”

Su Qingning poured him a cup of water (which was actually spiritual spring water from her space) and said softly:

“Don’t worry, I can detoxify this poison. You will be healed within a month.”

In her previous life, Su Qingning had seen all sorts of strange poisons, and this one was a piece of cake for her. There was no need to specially prepare any medicine; just drinking spiritual spring water for a month would suffice.

A trace of astonishment flashed in Xiao Huaishuo’s phoenix eyes. Although he didn’t quite believe her words, he instinctively took the cup from Su Qingning’s hands and took a small sip.

As soon as the water entered his stomach, he was filled with shock, and the expression on his face nearly slipped away from his control.

The water Su Qingning gave him was sweet and refreshing, definitely not the ordinary water served in the palace.

What was even more frightening was that he felt a sense of relief throughout his body. The toxins that had long been accumulated and pressed upon him seemed to have dissipated a bit.

What on earth is this water? How can it have such miraculous effects?!

He hadn’t expected that this little princess he had just married, who seemed so delicate and weak, like a small bean sprout, would possess such a treasure!

Xiao Huaishuo concealed his astonishment and drank the spiritual spring water in the cup in one go.

He indeed felt much more comfortable and lighter all over. His originally numb and blocked lower limbs seemed to have a fine aura flowing through them, bringing a tingling sensation.

Xiao Huaishuo looked up and saw Su Qingning smiling at him. Her brows and eyes were curved, and the sunlight was bright; he suddenly felt warmth in his heart.

Before he could ask anything further, Su Qingning immediately dropped a heavy bombshell.

“Lord, the emperor intends to eliminate the warlord’s residence, sentencing the entire family to exile for ‘conspiring against the country.’ The decree will probably be issued tomorrow.”

She then took out a sealed letter from her bosom and handed it to him.
