"Commander Long, Young Master Long, and Mr. Li...I'm sorry to say this, but...Young Mistress Qing Yue won't be able to stand on her feet anymore. Moreover, the injury on her face...she's likely to be...disfigured for life."The moment Dr. Ren finished his speech, he sighed in relief and weakly slumped against the wall.Speaking to these gods was draining.And yet, he still needed to preserve his strength to face their wrath.To face such a catastrophe, his good fortune for this life must've run out.The three men were frozen stiff.There wasn't a trace of emotion to be found on their faces.But their vacant and dazed eyes spoke volumes of their state of mind."What...did you say?" The first to return to his senses was Commander Long.Grinded by war and gore, the matter of disability and disfigurement, though devastating, didn't hit him as an earth-shattering matter."Qing Qing will never be able to walk again? She

Qing Yue blinked.Never walk again? Disfigured for life?This must've been what Li Feng meant when he said she could regain her original appearance.Sigh. I wonder how long the process will take...Seeing her expression remain as impassive as before Long Hongwu revealed the news, the three men in the room tensed up.It couldn't be the news was too huge of a blow for her to react, right?At this thought, they felt even more anxious."Qing Qing, don't worry. Uncle Long will find all the best medical doctors in the country to help you. You'll be better in no time.""Yes, Yue'er. If necessary, we'll even fly in a foreign specialist to treat you. So don't feel depressed. You'll be better in no time.""You'll probably feel hopeless and discouraged because the treatment will not be easy. It will even be painful. But we'll be with you. As long as you don't give up, there's hope."Qing Yue returned to her senses and swept

The three men's sight instantly shifted to the girl. Finding her expression as impassive and expressionless as before, they secretly sighed in relief.It's good she isn't affected...The next moment, their gazes turned cold.They weren't born yesterday so how could they miss the malice and scorn in the three women's tone?They hadn't come to see a patient.They came to mock and ridicule the girl until she broke and shattered and could no longer get back on her feet."Sisters-in-law, that's enough. Yue'er isn't in the condition for this sort of talks." Li Chen's voice held faint hints of anger. If they weren't his brothers wives, he would've directly kicked them out.But whether the three middle-aged women failed to catch his barely restrained anger or purposely ignored it was unknown.Because they disregarded his words and continued their rant.Aunt Hong turned to Li Chen with a sad and pained expression on her face.

"See? I told you Qing Qing wasn't ready. Brother-in-law, you should drop this matter for now." Aunt Hong immediately jumped at the opportunity to stop the two's marriage. If she could, she would've snatched the certificates out of Li Chen's hands and ripped them to shreds!"Yes, Brother-in-law. Qing Qing isn't ready. Let her fully recover first." Aunt Si nervously added.She didn't have any other way to live an enviable life. Getting Li Qing Yue tied to her Mu'er and consuming all her wealth was her life-long goal."Qing Qing, don't worry. You won't have to marry if you're not ready. Brother-in-law won't force you." Even more desperate than the other two as she only had a daughter, Aunt Mei even explicitly implied that Li Chen was forcing Qing Yue into marrying."Qing Qing, just recover well. You can get married whenever you want to. After all, you are Li Qing Yue. With your status and wealth, do you need to be afraid of not getting married?"When

"Are you planning to back out? Do you not have any confidence?" Qing Yue was afraid her husband would have a change of heart and purposely goaded him."Are you intentionally provoking me?" Long Tian narrowed his eyes."What if I am? What if I'm not? Are you going to back out?" She fearlessly held his dark gaze and challenged.Long Tian felt surprised.She easily admitted that she was provoking him? Did this mean she wasn't afraid of him?"Hpmh! The Longs don't back down from a challenge. Since I dared to make a bet, I dare to see it to the end." Besides, it wasn't like she had any chance of winning.Fully confident in her defeat, Long Tian crossed his arms and smirked."Heh...you said it. You can't go back on your words."Qing Yue was suddenly filled with an intense urge to recover quicker. She desperately wanted to slap the smug smile off her husband's face with her powerful voice.In such a tranquil manner, a month wen
