Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 292 - Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.24)

Chapter 292: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.24)

Ahh I had final exams this week, and my last project is due Monday. I antic.i.p.ate doing a lot of stress-relief translating next week.

Mu Cheng was too late to investigate who was the person who caused all this, and he quickly went to find a doctor.

XunMi was now even less concerned about dealing with others. She only knew that her husband was hurt because of her.

No matter how many times, no matter the danger, her husband would always immediately protect her behind him.

Nian ShuRong and Nian WenHao looked in distress at XunMi who looked like she’d lost her soul.

They were feeling even less lenient towards the main culprit, and they liked this person even less.

At this moment, the two siblings stepped forward and grabbed Nian Xue’er, who also seemed not to understand what had just happened.

Nian ShuRong ferociously swung her hand at Nian Xue’er’s face.

“You b.i.t.c.h! How many times has this been? Why don’t you just drop dead! You are a scourge! A scourge!” Absolutely furious, she kicked Nian Xue’er several times.

From beginning to end, Nian WenHao restrained Nian Xue’er to prevent her from struggling or resisting, letting his younger sister beat her up.

After recovering from the shock, Du Shu ran to XunMi’s side, hugged her and started crying together with her.

From the back, they’d been able to see it crystal clear. Nian Xue’er appeared to go crazy when she rushed out and ruthlessly pushed XunMi.

If not for Ziju BaiLin, the one to sustain injuries would have been XunMi.

“Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi, snap out of it! Don’t be like this, Mom’s heart hurts!”

Du Shu cried out to her in distress as she wiped the dust from XunMi’s cheeks.

At this moment, XunMi was completely focused on Ziju BaiLin. How could she pay attention to things in the outside world?

[Don’t worry, Host, your man just has a slight concussion, it’s nothing dangerous. However, his spine was injured, and he may need to temporarily be bedridden. It’s not very severe though. He should be better in ten to fifteen days.]

BaoBao quickly examined Ziju BaiLin and was relieved. Fortunately, it was nothing serious.

Going by its own healing levels, it estimated that he would get well sooner than expected.

XunMi was truly relieved, but the gloom on her face did not disperse. They still had to wait for the doctor to examine him, and she was still concerned about the results of his diagnosis.

It wasn’t that she doubted BaoBao, but the main thing was that the two belonged to two different species. The evaluation of what was or was not a serious injury was also different.

Not to mention the first time she met ZiXi Ge,[1] he was put in a coma because of her. BaoBao had said he would wake up quickly, but the result was that he still ended up lying down for so long, and for the same reason.

If BaoBao knew what its host was thinking, it would definitely jump up and down. And then argue loudly, that time was an accident, an accident! Who would have imagined that that guy would actually fuse with dragon’s breath, ah! (╯ ‵ □ ′) ╯︵┻──┻

Very quickly, Mu Cheng grabbed an old man and came over. In Li Hua Province, he was a renowned doctor trained in traditional Chinese medicine.

He was originally very dissatisfied with Mu Cheng’s behavior. This man took him away without first saying anything other than that they were going to go save someone. To save people, he also needed to bring his tools, ah! As soon as he tidied up, he was immediately dragged away.

With great difficulty they finally stopped, and the old doctor expressed that if he continued to be tossed around like this, he would be going to see his ancestors.

He wanted to keep harping on the subject until he saw the patient lying down on the steps. He then threw away his complaints at once and went forward to examine him.

After a careful inspection, he spoke: “He injured his head, and will need to recuperate. When you lift him, you must move him very gently. As much as possible, try to avoid big movements or letting his head sway, so as to avoid exacerbating the injury. In addition, the muscles in his back have been strained. When you’re looking after him, refrain from touching him with heavy hard objects. There are no other issues. Once he wakes up, he should recuperate for one to two months, and he should be all right.”

The old doctor was really very capable. His conclusion was no different from BaoBao’s, which made XunMi relieved.

“Doctor, how is the Marshal now? When might he wake up?” Mu Cheng seized the opportunity to ask.

“He b.u.mped his head and appears to be in a temporary coma. He should wake up some time this evening. Don’t worry, young man.” The old doctor spoke to the man who had brought him here and stroked his beard, “It’s said that hasty men don’t get to eat hot tofu.[2] Take it slowly, be patient.”

Mu Cheng’s mouth hung open. If he didn’t need to rely on this man to treat the Marshal, he definitely would not give him face and retort back.

XunMi asked the soldiers to find a simple stretcher and first carry the person back.

Once she was certain that her husband’s injury wasn’t too serious, her eyes brightened up.

Then she recalled that she still had not handled the person playing dirty tricks behind her back.

After gently putting the person on the stretcher, XunMi asked Mu Cheng to go back first, and leave two soldiers behind.

Fortunately, they had been at the front courtyard’s gate, not the main entrance, otherwise the Nian family would again be the subject of everyone’s idle teatime gossip.

XunMi turned around and walked step by step down the cobblestone path, her complexion still pale and delicate, evoking pity. However, her whole body exuded an aura more cold than the sharpest knife, ready to cut someone apart.

“DaGe, Jie, I will take this person away.” Her voice was ice-cold, and Nian Xue’er’s eyes looked like a dead person’s.

Bypa.s.sing the two, she walked straight to Nian BingRong and Du Shu, and knelt down.

“Mom and Dad, I’m sorry. I must take Nian Xue’er away with me.”

She must let Nian Xue’er know that she cannot bear the consequences of provoking her.

Aren’t you afraid that the things of your past life will repeat themselves? I will let your nightmare come true once again.

No matter what they thought, she would not let Nian Xue’er off.

For those who hurt her, she would retaliate. But for those who hurt her husband, simple retaliation would definitely not be enough.

Du Shu’s tears flowed out again. Both the palm and the back of the hand were made of flesh.[3] How could she not be hurt? But at this point, she was only a mother. How should she choose?

Nian BingRong was thinking a little further. Although Ziju BaiLin was called the Bandit Marshal, he had exhibited his ability. It was also because of him that the Southern Region had become strongly fortified and stable.

Now that he was in a coma, not to mention his men who would be angry, the people who received his protection would also come to force their way in.

What kind of sin had his Nian family committed? No, what did he, Nian BingRong owe the heavens?

“Dad, you don’t have to think too much. BaiLin’s matters are Nian Xue’er’s doing alone. It has nothing to do with the Nian family. I hope Dad can understand my feelings. For someone who is always targeting me and who hurts my people, if I do not act early on, then who can guarantee the consequences? Luckily, this time BaiLin was not hurt too seriously. But if there is a second time and a third time, then what should I do?”

She only asked that her husband be safe in this troubled world, and live a healthy and happy life.

Nian BingRong heaved a deep sigh: “Enough, enough, go ahead.”

XunMi kowtowed three times to her elders, her eyes filled with hot tears. “I, Nian XunMi, will forever be your daughter, for as long as you recognize me.”

She knew that after this, her relationship with her parents would have a layer of division.

It couldn’t be easily broken, but once it was split open, there may always be a gap.

Translator’s Notes

[1] I was reading this sentence and thinking, who the h.e.l.l is ZiXi???? Lmao he’s the ML from the first arc. He got hit by a car while protecting her.

[2] Hahaha a more fun way of saying, “haste makes waste,” or telling him to be patient.

[3] She values both daughters equally.
