Chapter 22: Injuries (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

Hearing the wind in his ears, Cheng Qingran was startled. He raised his hand to block Xiao Lang’s fist. He already had some skills. Last time, he didn’t expect someone to break into his house. He was chatting with Shu Lan, so he didn’t notice Xiao Lang. At this time, he was sensitive, and his five senses were extremely clear. He naturally stopped his hand quickly.

Holding Xiao Lang’s wrist tightly, Cheng Qingran asked in a cold voice: “Little brother, there must be a reason for this, right?” Do you think he had a good temper, so he let him move his hand once and twice?

Just relying on Cheng Qingran’s hand strength, Xiao Lang knew he couldn’t underestimate the opponent, so he wanted to attack in a different way, and suddenly heard Shu Wan exclaim: “Ah Lang, let’s go out!”

Cheng Qingran quickly let go of his hand, leaned halfway forward, and explained to Shu Wan a little embarrassedly: “Miss Shu, I...”

“Thank you, Master Cheng, for giving us a ride. It’s just that the town is right in front of us. To avoid suspicion, we won’t bother you!” Shu Wan glared at him coldly, turned, and walked to the side of the road with her back to the carriage and waiting for Xiao Lang.

Seeing Cheng Qingran deflated, Xiao Lang was in a good mood. He jumped down neatly and was about to walk away, but he was afraid that Cheng Qingran would continue to entangle, so he turned and slapped the horse’s buttock hard.

The horse was frightened, threw its hooves away, and ran forward.

Wei Da quickly steadied his horse and turned back to ask for instructions: “Master, do you want to wait for them?” The two sisters of the Shu family look alike, why were they so different in temperament?

“No, just go.” Cheng Qingran leaned on the low couch and said lightly. Other women couldn’t wait for him to look at them, but she was fine, and she was even angry! However, thinking of Shu Wan’s beautiful appearance with anger in her eyes just now, Cheng Qingran was not only angry but very happy.

If there was a mirror in front of him, Cheng Qingran would definitely find out how cheap his current expression... looked like!

In the Qin family’s backyard, Zhu Yuanbao and Shu Lan squatted side by side in front of a square iron cage, looking at the litter of little white rabbits inside.

“Brother Yuanbao, why are the rabbit’s eyes red?” Shu Lan stared at a rabbit that was constantly moving inside, curiously asked. In fact, she had asked many people this question, but whether it was her father or her grandfather, neither gave her a definite answer.

Zhu Yuanbao glared at her impatiently. Knowing that this girl was an idiot with a lot of problems, he shouldn’t have promised to bring her rabbits in the morning.

“Why are there so many questions? Just look at it if you like it, or take it away if you don’t like it!” Zhu Yuanbao glared. His expression was very serious.

Shu Lan shrank her neck and looked away timidly. Brother Yuanbao was good, but he had a very loud voice and loved to be mad at her!

Seeing her being obedient, Zhu Yuanbao smiled smugly. He was not at all afraid that the servant girl in the distance would tell on him. Anyway, it was the old madam who asked him to come over to coax the child, “You play by yourself, I’ll go pick cherries to eat!” He touched Shu Lan’s head and stood up laboriously. He squatted all the time, his legs were almost numb!

Shu Lan watched him pass through the vines, looked at the yawning maid over there, and smiled secretly. Holding a willow branch in her left hand to tease the rabbits, her right hand quietly unscrewed the knotted wire on the cage door. She looked at a rabbit, reached out and grabbed a rabbit leg, and dragged it out.

The group of rabbits was frightened and fluttered to the other corner of the iron cage. The one who was caught was unwilling to be captured. It ran around and kicked. Its sharp claws mercilessly scratched the back of Shu Lan’s hand and wrist and her delicate skin was cut and bleeding in an instant.

Shu Lan’s tears fell from the pain, but she resisted and did not cry out. She wanted to let go of the rabbit, but the strength in her temperament also rushed up. She pulled the rabbit out and forcibly pressed it to the ground: “Let you pick me and I’ll pluck all your fur... Ah!” It turned out that before she could start plucking, the rabbit fluttered and ran away.

Shu Lan was unwilling to bleed in vain and chased after it angrily. The rabbit was not as cute as it looked!

The little maid in the distance was taken aback, but seeing Shu Lan’s figure chasing the rabbit, thinking that the old madam most wanted miss cousin to move, so she didn’t go over to stop her, and still stayed by the side. Because Shu Lan’s sleeves were wide, the maid didn’t notice her wound.

The rabbit ran around, ran under the vines, and finally hid behind a cherry tree with only a stubby tail showing.

Shu Lan paused in footsteps and tiptoed over. Her eyes were fixed on the white touch. Seeing that she was only 10 paces away from the rabbit, she thought the victory was in her hands, and she couldn’t help bending her mouth, but she didn’t expect to be suddenly tumbled by an old rattan under her foot. Her body tilted. The next moment she threw herself to the ground and her knees were aching from falling.

Lying on the ground in a daze, watching the rabbit rush out, the pain in her body and the grievance in her heart surged up at the same time. Shu Lan couldn’t bear it anymore, pouted, and cried out with a wah.

Zhu Yuanbao was busy picking cherries. He was startled when he heard the cry. When he looked back, he saw Shu Lan lying motionless on the ground and only knew how to cry. He quickly dropped the cherries in his hand and ran over. His fat hands reached under Shu Lan's arms and lifted the person up easily.

“Why are you so careless? Did it hurt when you fell?”

Shu Lan paused, stretched out her hands, and looked at Zhu Yuanbao pitifully. Her eyes were filled with tears.

Zhu Yuanbao looked suspiciously and felt his heart tighten. He saw there were several bloodstains on Shu Lan’s white right wrist at some time, which was extremely dazzling. The left hand was better, but the skin was also broken.

It looked like it was scratched by a rabbit!

Zhu Yuanbao was so angry and scolded: “I told you not to catch rabbits, but you were disobedient. Did you know the lesson this time? You deserve it!” Vigorously rolled up Shu Lan’s sleeves to check for other wounds.

Shu Lan didn’t expect she was all injured, and Zhu Yuanbao still scolded her, feeling even more aggrieved.

Zhu Yuanbao was angry, distressed, and a little regretful. If he knew he shouldn’t have left her. When he first saw the rabbit, he secretly played with it behind his father’s back and was kicked several times.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, brother will take you to apply medicine!”

Zhu Yuanbao softened his tone, raised his fat hand to wipe away Shu Lan’s tears, and led her to the front yard.
