Chapter 1474: On Purpose

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan instructed Mianmian, “Retrieve the medicine.” With her back turned to Qiao Wei, she whispered something to Mianmian, who nodded and quickly departed.

Before long, Mianmian returned with the necessary medical supplies. Qiao Xuan then directed Lixia and Liqiu to assist her in applying the medicine and bandaging Qiao Wei’s wound. Afterward, she instructed two maids to remain with Qiao Wei, ensuring they didn’t leave her side for even a moment.

Qiao Wei displayed no gratitude toward Qiao Xuan. She merely glared at her and allowed the two maids to escort her away.

With time, the commotion subsided, and the camp gradually grew quieter as everyone took the opportunity to rest.

Shortly thereafter, Shao Yunduan returned to their tent, shared by him and Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan addressed him, “Husband, I believe I’ve discerned why they placed Qiao Wei in this group.”

Shao Yunduan was taken aback…

After Qiu He was led away by Ah-Ye, Mianmian promptly followed and inquired about the medicine for external injuries. After Ah-Ye provided the information, she hurried away again.

Ah-Ye didn’t escort Qiu He elsewhere. Instead, he suddenly kicked her from behind, hitting the back of her knee joint. Caught off guard, Qiu He emitted a pained groan and tumbled to the ground. Her vision darkened, and tears welled up instantly.

Suppressing the pain in her chest, she clenched her teeth and lowered her head.

“Madam has instructed you to kneel here without moving. You’ll remain kneeling throughout the night. Should I catch you slacking off, you’ll continue kneeling the following night and the one after that.”

Gritting her teeth, Qiu He retorted, “Madam has gone too far! I still need to return to serve our Miss.”

Ah-Ye snorted and maintained his silent vigil, eyeing her intently.

However, his silence did not signify agreement with her words.

Qiu He seethed internally, cursing the peculiar individuals surrounding Qiao Xuan. Especially Ah-Ye, who appeared foolish and guileless, as though he were easy to deceive, when in fact, he was anything but.

Ah-Ye couldn’t be bothered to engage with them. Even when they tried to strike up conversations with him, he remained utterly silent, no matter what they said.

This time, it was no different. Her vehement protests seemed to fall on deaf ears, as if they had automatically muted themselves.

Nonetheless, Qiu He was well aware that if she dared to make a move, he would unquestionably kick her again.

Suppressing her fury, Qiu He deliberately adopted a pitiable countenance. She lifted her head to gaze at Ah-Ye. “My leg is wounded. Could you please provide me with some external injury medicine for treatment?”

Ah-Ye glanced at her but continued to maintain his silence.

Qiu He put on a forced smile. “I have no choice but to heed Madame Shao’s directive. I’ll apply the medicine and accept my punishment…”

As she struggled to rise, Ah-Ye raised his foot. “Attempt to move!”

“…” Qiu He couldn’t take it any longer. Her knees turned weak, causing her to tumble heavily onto the rugged ground once more. Her vision dimmed, and tears nearly welled up again.

“Is Madame truly so heartless? My legs will be ruined if I continue kneeling like this throughout the night!”

Ah-Ye remained unmoved, silently thinking to himself, You deserve to have your legs ruined.

A servant like you remained unscathed while your mistress got hurt. How would you complain once I’ve maimed your leg?

It was only fair!

Ah-Ye kept his gaze fixed on Qiu He until the entire area was tidied up before returning to his rest.

Prior to departing, he didn’t neglect to issue a threat. “Don’t move, or else, hmph!”

Qiu He seethed with resentment.

Following Ah-Ye’s departure, although she didn’t dare to leave, she promptly seated herself on the ground.
