Chapter 148: This Grudge Can ‘t Be Left Overnight

Not long after, the carriage arrived. It was comfortably furnished with several layers of thick cushions.

Qiao Mai lifted him with a princess carry. At that moment, Yuan Jiaqi blushed bright red, quickly closing his eyes, afraid someone might see this scene.

Once they were on the carriage, she turned to the doctor from the medical hall and informed him that the academy had already paid the expenses. Then she settled in the carriage, sitting cross-legged beside him. After Yuan Jiaqi took the pill, he felt an itch in the injured area.

“What’s this medicine?”

“It’s for treating your wounds. I helped a monk on my way out, and this is his repayment.”

“It seems to be working. The pain is not as bad.”

“Yes, as long as it’s effective!”

The carriage made its way slowly, and it was already dark when they reached Tianshui Town. Qiao Mai gave some silver to the coachman and told him to find an inn.

At the entrance of Lucky Garden, Yuan Jiaqi wanted to walk in by himself, but

Qiao Mai didn’t listen. She princess-carried him all the way into her courtyard.

Chuan’er had been waiting for him. When he saw his father in such a state, tears welled up in his eyes.

“Father, how are you?”

Yuan Jiaqi’s face turned red. After Qiao Mai placed him on the heated brick bed, he reached out and wiped away a tear from Chuan’er’s eye.

“Why are you crying? Father just had a little fall and scraped some skin. It’s nothing serious.”

“But why did Mother carry you inside?”

“Well, your mother was worried I might start bleeding again.”

Chuan’er was still young, and seeing his father able to talk and move his limbs made him feel relieved.

He finally relaxed. “Father, are you hungry? I’ll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat.”

“Your mother hasn’t eaten either.”

“Oh, I’ll get a portion for two.”

“Just one portion is fine. Your father is fine. I need to check on Ling’er. I’ll eat in her room.”

“Okay, I’ll have the kitchen send it to Mother’s courtyard.”

Qiao Mai left, and it took Yuan Jiaqi’s face some time to return to its usual color.

Thinking about how Qiao Mai, a petite woman, had lifted him like a box, he felt his face burning with embarrassment.

Alas, he was utterly useless as a scholar.

After all these years of training with his son, he had no improvement. He was even weaker than a child.

Even Chuan’er didn’t seem to have the potential for martial arts. In front of Qiao Mai and the twins, they appeared as fragile as leaves in the wind.

Qiao Mai returned to her backyard, checked on Ling’er, gave some instructions to Yue Hong and Yue Xia, then disappeared into the night.

Feng Yinshi dared to touch someone she protected. Qiao Mai couldn’t let this grudge linger overnight. It had to be settled immediately.

She ran at full speed. The trees around her blurred like in a fast-motion film. After an hour, she arrived breathless under City Wei’s city walls.

The city walls were higher and sturdier than those of the county. City guards were patrolling, and the discipline was stricter here.

However, none of this would hinder her entry.

After resting for a while, Qiao Mai crossed the city wall and arrived at the

Windforest Academy.

The day after tomorrow was supposed to be the academy’s break. Students who lived close to home would leave in the afternoon, while those from far away would depart early the next morning.

Qiao Mai searched through each courtyard. At this time, it wasn’t yet bedtime, and many students were still studying by candlelight.

It didn’t take her long to find that scoundrel, Feng Yinshi, looking pleased with himself.

With a flick of her wrist, several stones simultaneously hit the candles. The room plunged into darkness.

She darted in during this momentary gap, wielding a thick stick to strike Feng Yinshi’s leg.

Feng Yinshi couldn’t stop screaming. When the others relit the candle, they saw him clutching his leg and howling in pain. They hurriedly came over to inquire.

“What happened?”

“My leg… My leg!”

Terrified, the other students rushed to find the teacher on duty. Qiao Mai stood on the roof, snorted coldly, and leaped away.

Back home, she quietly checked on Yuan Jiaqi. Both father and son were asleep. The others in the Qiao family were also asleep.

After entering her room, she brewed herself a pot of tea.

With the force she used, it was no doubt that Feng Yinshi’s leg was broken. Not only was the lower leg fractured, but a part of it was also shattered.

Even if he recovered, walking would be difficult, and it would be unlikely to see him on any successful career path.

She had wanted to kill him, but Yuan Jiaqi was still studying there. If someone died, it would tarnish the academy’s reputation.

In a way, that scoundrel was lucky!

After being rushed to the clinic, the doctor examined Feng Yinshi and made a diagnosis.

The boy had a comminuted fracture of his shinbone. Upon hearing this, Feng Yinshi’s eyes went dark, and he fainted.

Right after divorcing Lu Ruxin, he married a wealthy merchant’s daughter. Then, he immediately brought his beloved woman into his home to be his concubine.

He turned a deaf ear to the Lu family’s words and left his home for the Windforest Academy as soon as the term began. He only stayed at home for three days after the wedding.

Qiao Mai’s guess was correct. It was Feng Yinshi who had done this. He conspired with several school bullies to beat Yuan Jiaqi.

He didn’t dare to cause trouble in Tianshui Town, but he felt that the academy was his domain and could do whatever he wanted there.

When he found that he was crippled, he regretted it bitterly.

The academy was known throughout Wei City and was one of the most prestigious in the country.

They investigated the incident with Yuan Jiaqi thoroughly. Still, before they could find out what had happened, Feng Yinshi had been injured.

However, this minor incident didn’t pose a significant threat to the academy. Most of the school’s teachers had a prominent background.

They weren’t afraid of offending anyone to investigate thoroughly. As for Feng Yinshi, he was temporarily housed in the clinic.

Three days later, Feng Yinshi’s involvement in instigating the attack on Yuan Jiaqi was exposed, leading to his expulsion from the academy.

However, the case of him getting beaten up remained unresolved.

Feng Yinshi claimed that the Qiao family had done it, but after an investigation by the local authorities, they ignored him.

Yuan Jiaqi, who couldn’t move, had already returned to Tianshui Town the same day. This information was confirmed at every city gate, and a coachman provided testimony.

The Qiao family couldn’t have flown to the academy to commit the crime. Feng Yinshi had brought his crippled leg upon himself.

As his leg was ruined, the authorities didn’t punish him heavily. They revoked his official prospects and had someone escort him back home.

Regarding the lax supervision at the academy and the consecutive injuries to students, there should have been some responsibility on the school’s part. The compensation money was given to Yuan Jiaqi.

Feng Yinshi essentially dug his own grave.

With his leg injured and his official prospects ruined, he had only himself to blame.

His title had been revoked as per Wang Zongsheng’s orders. Every mention of the Qiao family made him particularly sensitive.

Feeling that such a good family as the Qiaos was bullied, he felt deeply remorseful. That’s why he had Feng Yinshi’s title revoked. Now, Feng Yinshi was crying bitterly at home.

After he explained the situation to Madam Feng, she was so angry that she wanted to beat him.

“You didn’t focus on your studies and deliberately picked fights with others. Why would you do that? Revenge is best served after ten years, and you could have taken action once you became an official. Look at you now. You’ve lost everything!”

“I was wrong!”

The newlywed wife and the concubine, who had just been brought into the family, lowered their heads and wiped their tears quietly. They had just entered the family, and now their husband had lost his position and legs. How would they face the future?

File a complaint? They wouldn’t get past Wang Zongsheng’s office. Where could they file a complaint?

The investigation at the Windforest Academy made it clear that it was the Qiao family who had carried out the attack. So, what can they do when they start it first?

They deserved it!

As long as the Wang family remains in the prefectural city, this place is under their control. The Feng family can’t touch the Qiao family at all.

Even in the county, they can’t act as they please.

They could only bear their mistakes patiently and hope for a better future..
