“What happened?”

Hearing Jian Peihuan’s words, Lu Er shook her head, indicating that she was not sure either. She only knew that something had happened to Second Miss.

Today was the wedding day of Jiang Ruyun and Cao Jun. After thinking about it, Jiang Peihuan got up, preparing to visit the Cao’s residence.

Xiao Nanye accompanied Jiang Peihuan.

When Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye arrived at the Cao Mansion, Zhou Lan and Jiang Yuan were already there.

Just as she entered the main hall, Jiang Peihuan heard crying. The voice turned out to be from Madam Cao.

‘If anything happens to my son Jun Er, 1 won’t want to live either.’

‘Madam, Brother Cao will be fine, you…’

‘Out of my way!’

Seeing Madam Cao in tears, Jiang Ruyun stepped forward, wanting to console her. However, before she could touch Madam Cao, her hand was slapped away.

Jiang Peihuan, who came over, saw this scene. She frowned but said nothing.

From the words of the maids, Jiang Peihuan thought that Jiang Ruyun had encountered some trouble. But now, it seemed that Cao Jun was the one in trouble.

Soon, Jiang Peihuan understood why Madam Cao treated Jiang Ruyun this way.

‘If it wasn’t for saving you, Jun Er would not have been injured like this.’

By the end of the sentence, Madam Cao’s eyes were filled with anger.

When Jiang Yuan and his wife saw how Madam Cao’s behavior towards Jiang Ruyun, but considering Cao Jun’s current condition, they kept silent.

“Huan Er, Your Highness?”

At this moment, Zhou Rongfang saw Jiang Peihuan and quickly approached.

The Cao family, though deeply worried about Cao Jun’s injuries, still paid their respects upon seeing Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye.

Jiang Peihuan stepped forward to support Madam Cao, then said softly, ‘Madam, I have some knowledge of medicine. May I take a look at Young Master Cao?’

‘Madam, please allow my elder sister to examine Brother Cao. Her medical skills are exceptional.’

Before Madam Cao could reply, Jiang Ruyun spoke first.

“Although she had some displeasure towards Jiang Ruyun in her heart, Lady Cao was still concerned about her son. So, she nodded to Jiang Peihuan and said, ‘Then, thank you, Queen Cheng.”

Jiang Peihuan did not say anything and walked straight in.

Xiao Nanye stayed by Jiang Peihuan’s side, and no one dared to comment.

Cao Jun lay on a bed, covered in blood.

Jiang Peihuan reached out to feel his pulse.

While checking his pulse, she frowned. She then carefully examined the wounds on Cao Jun’s body.

His injuries were not too severe.

However, the tendons in Cao Jun’s right wrist had been severed, meaning his right hand was now useless. Knowing that the Cao family had a scholarly background and that Cao Jun was destined to be a writer, this was devastating.

But now…

“Queen Cheng, how is my Jun Er?”

Madam Cao, who had been watching Jiang Peihuan’s every move, immediately asked her after the examination.

Hearing Madam Cao’s inquiry, Jiang Peihuan said softly, “Young Master Cao’s injuries will heal with proper care and won’t be life-threatening. However, the tendons in his right wrist have been severed, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to use that hand anymore.”

“What did you say?”

Upon hearing the first part of Jiang Peihuan’s words, there was a glint of joy in Madam Cao’s eyes. But after the latter part, Madam Cao’s body swayed slightly.

Jiang Ruyun, standing by her side, quickly supported her. At that moment, Madam Cao didn’t push Jiang Ruyun away; instead, she grabbed Jiang Peihuan’s sleeve, “Queen Cheng, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Jun Er will be handicapped for life?”

Jiang Peihuan remained silent.

But her silence was equivalent to a tacit agreement.

Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s silence, pain filled Macam Cao’s eyes. “It’s all because of you, you jinx!”

When she turned to look at Jiang Ruyun, there was nothing but resentment in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and forcefully pushed Jiang Ruyun away.

“Madam Cao, you can’t blame Ruyun for this!”

“Besides, isn’t it only natural for a husband to protect his future wife?”

Zhou Rongfang couldn’t hold back any longer. Seeing Madam Cao lay hands on Jiang Ruyun, she directly embraced Jiang Ruyun.

Though grateful that Cao Jun saved Jiang Ruyun, Zhou Rongfang had the notion of calling off the engagement when she heard that Cao Jun would not be able to use his hand anymore. She bluntly said, “Since Ruyun and Young Master Cao have not yet performed the wedding rituals, perhaps this marriage should be called off.”

“You…you all…”

Upon hearing Zhou Rongfang’s words, everyone was stunned. Madam Cao was so enraged she was at a loss for words.

Jiang Yuan, who was standing nearby, frowned upon hearing this, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Cao Jun is now handicapped. Do you want to watch Ruyun marry a handicapped man?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked displeased but did not retort.

And Madam Cao, witnessing all this, had only hatred in her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Peihuan interrupted, “Uncle, Aunt, shouldn’t we hear Ruyun’s thoughts on this?”

After speaking, she looked at Jiang Ruyun, “Ruyun, what do you think about this?”

Jiang Ruyun had been lowering her head. After hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, she raised her head.

She first glanced at Zhou Rongfang and Jiang Yuan, then at Madam Cao, finally stating firmly, “I won’t call off the engagement. I want to marry Cao Jun and be his wife.”

“Ruyun, have you lost your mind? Didn’t you hear what your elder sister said? Cao Jun is now handicapped.”

“Even if he can’t achieve official titles in the future, I don’t mind.”

“Even if he can’t lift heavy objects in the future, it doesn’t matter. I’ve practiced martial arts since I was young. I will take good care of him.”

“So, father, mother, I want the wedding to continue. I want to marry Cao Jun.”

“You…”

“That’s enough. Since this is Second Miss Jiang’s own decision, let’s respect it. No one is to object.”

Seeing Zhou Rongfang about to protest, Xiao Nanye, who had been silent all along, said coldly.

Upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, neither Zhou Rongfang nor Madam Cao dared to speak again.

In the end, Jiang Ruyun and Cao Jun performed the wedding rituals.

However, Cao Jun was supported by someone.

Originally, Madam Cao had many grievances against Jiang Ruyun, but when she saw the couple bowing to her, her heart softened.

After the ceremony, Jiang Peihuan prepared to leave with Xiao Nanye.

At that moment, Cao Jun woke up.

Realizing his right hand was disabled, there was evident pain in Cao Jun’s eyes..
