The next morning, Lady Su arrived at the west courtyard early.

Seeing the situation, Concubine Xia quickly asked, "Sister, what is this about?"

After learning the true nature of the west courtyard yesterday, Lady Su no longer wanted to maintain even the appearance of harmony.

With a cold expression, she said, "The master has ordered that your nephew be sent back to the Xia family today."

Concubine Xia widened her eyes and played the sympathy card. "Sister, Wencai's limbs are all broken, and he hasn't woken up yet. Could we wait a little longer? Moving him now could kill him! I only have this one nephew. Please, for my sake, let him stay in the mansion a few more days."

Now, Xia Wencai was barely clinging to life. If he were sent back to the Xia family in this state, her brother would surely go mad and might say something reckless.

Her nephew's condition was undoubtedly linked to Su Li.

Once he woke up, he would naturally reveal the truth. Although her brother would blame her, he would also join forces with her against their common enemy.

In the past, Lady Su might have given her some face.

But now, the fact that she hadn't rushed forward to tear her apart was already a sign of restraint. Did she really think she could still ask for favors? Dream on!

"The doctors have already said that your nephew might never wake up. If he stays like this, are we supposed to keep him in the mansion forever? Don't worry, the servants will be careful. The master isn't completely heartless."

Lady Su glanced at the maid behind her.

Wangxia handed a wooden box to Concubine Xia.

Lady Su continued, "This is ten thousand taels, a small token of our goodwill to the Xia family."

After saying this, she signaled the servants to step forward.

"Wait... wait, no! Madam, aren't you afraid of how this will look if word gets out? Stop..."

But no matter what Concubine Xia said, Lady Su

"Our Su family has already gone above and beyond. We didn't injure him. We've called doctors from all over the city and poured expensive medicines into him. What more do you want? Should we take care of him for the rest of his lives? What kind of logic is that?" Lady Su coldly interrupted Concubine Xia's protests.

Seeing that the situation couldn't be reversed, Concubine Xia was afraid that her brother, upon seeing his son in such a state, might lose control and say something incriminating. She said, "If that's the case, please allow me to accompany him to the Xia family. Let me explain things to my brother."

Lady Su thought for a moment and nodded. "That's only natural. Go ahead."

"Thank you, Madam!"

Xia Jiang was at home, anxiously waiting. Today was the deadline set by the gambling house. If he couldn't repay the debt, his son's hands would be forfeit.

Just as he was pacing restlessly, there was a commotion outside. Thinking it was the gambling house's enforcers, he went out to look, but the scene didn't match his expectations.

"Who are you?" Xia Jiang shouted.

At that moment, Concubine Xia stepped out of the sedan chair, her face filled with sorrow, tears streaming down before she even spoke.

"Brother, Wencai... Wencai is in a bad way!"

Xia Jiang finally realized that the person on the stretcher was his son.

He took a step back, staring at Concubine Xia in shock and anger, his voice strained. "What... what happened?"

Concubine Xia stepped forward to support him. "Brother, Wencai is still alive, but... let's go inside to talk."

Hearing that his son was still alive, Xia Jiang managed to catch his breath and pushed Concubine Xia away.

Staggering forward, he saw that his son's chest was still rising and falling, and there were no visible injuries on his face. He thought his son was just unconscious.

"Quick, carry him inside."

Then he turned to Concubine Xia and said coldly, "You, come inside and explain this to me!"

Once the boy was carried into the room and placed on the bed, Concubine Xia dismissed all the servants.

Only then did Xia Jiang

Concubine Xia cried, "Brother, it was all Su Li and her mother! My plan was perfect, but something went wrong, and when I saw Wencai again, he was like this."

She then embellished the story, claiming that Xia Wencai had fallen in love with Su Li at first sight and that she had only been trying to help her nephew.

Xia Jiang didn't believe a word of it. He knew his son too well.

Su Li was disfigured. How could his son, who loved beautiful women, fall in love with a disfigured girl at first sight?

But regardless of the reason, this matter was undoubtedly connected to Su Li.

Xia Jiang looked coldly at Concubine Xia. "What did the doctors say?"

Concubine Xia hadn't expected him to remain so calm.

"The doctors said Wencai might wake up soon, or... he might never wake up."

Xia Jiang's face changed dramatically, and he shouted, "How is that possible? There are no external injuries!"

Only then did Concubine Xia realize why he had been so composed. Her expression grew even more sorrowful.

"Brother, Su Li is so cruel! She... she had someone shatter Wencai's limbs!"

The doctors couldn't even attempt to set the bones, so they left the limbs untouched and only prescribed painkillers and tonics.

Xia Jiang felt a tightness in his chest, and with a final roar, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Concubine Xia screamed in fright.

Xia Jiang roared, "Su Li!"

After the initial shock, Concubine Xia

This man had always held her secrets over her head, ordering her around. Now, seeing him suffer like this, she couldn't help but feel it was deserved.

Though she thought this, her face was full of panic.

She rushed to support Xia Jiang, saying anxiously, "Brother! Don't be upset! I will find rare treasures to heal Wencai! I will also make sure Su Li suffers a fate worse than death!"

Xia Jiang pushed Concubine Xia away and said fiercely, "Don't think I don't know what you're really thinking! Now that Wencai is like this, you're also to blame! If you can't heal Wencai, none of us will have peace!"

Concubine Xia gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, yes! I will do everything in my power to heal Wencai."

"And I want Su Li dead!"

Concubine Xia also agreed, "Alright! Give me some time. After all, Su Li's status is not ordinary."

Just as Xia Jiang was about to speak, there was a commotion outside.

"Xia Wencai! Xia Wencai, come out! Damn it, pay back the money you owe, or else..."

As the voice fell, there was the sound of things being smashed.

Xia Jiang trembled with anger. His son was already in this state, and these people still wouldn't let up!

Concubine Xia quickly took out a stack of silver notes and handed them to Xia Jiang.

She said ingratiatingly, "Brother, this is all I could gather. Use it to pay off the debt first, and the rest can be used for Wencai's treatment. If it's not enough, I'll find a way."

Only then did Xia Jiang calm down a little, snorting, "At least you still have some conscience!"

As Xia Jiang went out, Concubine Xia's expression darkened.

If it weren't for the fear that he might say something incriminating, why would she have to be so subservient!
