Lin Zi You shrank his neck and immediately and ran to the side to write the letter. This time, those offenders were done for. After all, they were both very clear about their boss’s character.

When he unexpectedly wanted to return to the royal court right now, those offenders who had harmed their sister-in-law were doomed.

Qing Shuang glanced at the expression on Qiao Tian Chang’s face, her heart boiling with hatred for the offenders as well. “Young Master, let’s go quickly to see Missy.”

“Yes, let’s go.” Qiao Tian Chang nodded his head. He only wished to see Ning Meng Yao right now. As for those offenders, he would repay what he owed them, but he was in no hurry to make them wait.

The group hurried to the capital.

Before they entered the capital, Xiao Qi Feng had already received the news that Qiao Tian Chang was returning to the royal court. He wasn’t happy when he received it. Instead, he was very worried as he did not know what Qiao Tian Chang would do under such circumstances.

Just by hearing the news, he had already arrived at this decision. Xiao Qi Feng didn’t know how extreme his decisions would become after seeing the bruises all over Ning Meng Yao’s body.

He understood that Qiao Tian Chang was just like him. It was clear that Qiao Tian Chang saw Ning Meng Yao as his salvation and he also heard from Qi Tian that they were expecting a child.

He stretched his back and tiredly massaged the space between his eyebrows. Regardless, he had to give the couple an explanation, otherwise, this matter would not come to a rest.

It was already midnight by the time Qiao Tian Chang arrived. After receiving the news of his return, Xiao Qi Tian quickly went out to greet him.

“I’m sorry Qiao Tian Chang. This is all because of my negligence.” Xiao Qi Tian guiltily looked at Qiao Tian Chang’s ghastly face.

Qiao Tian Chang glanced at Xiao Qi Tian and quietly said, “It doesn’t matter. This has nothing to do with you.”

He was very clear that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Qi Tian and he also understood that if Xiao Qi Tian hadn’t arrived in time, Ning Meng Yao would’ve most likely died. So how could he blame him?

“I want to see Yao Yao,” Qiao Tian Chang said in a hoarse voice.

Xiao Qi Tian led Qiao Tian Chang to the courtyard where Ning Meng Yao lived. “She is still unconscious inside.”

“What happened?”

“Qiao Tian Yu and the others probably feared that she will escape, so they used an excessive amount of soft tendon scattering powder. Meng Yao probably couldn’t save herself because of that.” Xiao Qi Tian knew that Ning Meng Yao knew some martial arts. An unimaginable amount of powder must’ve been used on her for her not to be to save herself.

Qiao Tian Chang clenched his fists and his eyes were full of anger.

“Qing Shuang, come in with me.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The two entered the room together. The moment they entered the room, they saw Ning Meng Yao lying on the bed, her body under a thin quilt and her face pale. There were some bruises on her face, especially on her forehead which was wrapped in white gauze.

“Qing Shuang, have a look at Yao Yao.” Qiao Tian Chang’s hand trembled slightly. Seeing how quietly and lifelessly she was laying on the bed, Qiao Tian Chang’s heart ached painfully for her. Those who dared to harm her, he wouldn’t let any of them get away with it. As for those who had harmed their unborn child, he would make their lives worse than death.

Qing Shuang walked beside the bed and checked Ning Meng Yao’s injuries. Seeing the green and purple bruises on her body, Qiao Tian Chang’s heart was in great pain. It was his fault, if only he had been a little quicker, then things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

Qiao Tian Chang repressed the thick and gooey taste in his throat, but the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth made others realize that his current situation wasn’t good either.

Qing Shuang inadvertently looked up and saw the bloodstain on the corner of Qiao Tian Chang’s mouth. The expression on her face changed, “Young Master.”

“I’m fine. Take a look at Yao Yao first.” Qiao Tian Chang wiped away the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth and looked at Ning Meng Yao who was lying on the bed.

Qing Shuang had some resentment in his heart, but that gradually disappear after seeing Qiao Tian Chang’s present state. She was now extremely worried about him.

After she inspecting Ning Meng Yao’s injuries carefully, Qing Shuang said, “The imperial doctor who came before had already taken care of the wounds on Missy’s body, so she should be fine after nursing her health for a while. As for the wounds on her face, I have an ointment that will remove scars. After her wounds are healed, apply this ointment and they’ll disappear. However, Missy’s body is seriously injured, so she needs to be taken care of.” Otherwise, it will be very difficult for her to get pregnant in the future. Although Qing Shuang didn’t say this, Qiao Tian Chang could more or less guess it.

“I understand, you can leave now.”

“Young Master, let me take a look at you as well.”
