Su Xiaoxiao put on sterile gloves, opened the gla.s.s cabinet, and took off the metal arm.
It was a right arm.
She had measured Wei Liulang’s arm, and the length matched.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t tell what kind of metal it was, but it was very light.
Soon, Su Xiaoxiao realized that it actually had an acceptance chamber, but it was hidden at the top. When it was installed, the acceptance chamber would automatically open.
Su Xiaoxiao had discussed Wei Liulang’s injuries with Physician Fu. Physician
Fu said that he had seen others install prosthetic limbs. It was not a proper hand, but a hook with a metal cast. It was filled with soft cloth and cotton to reduce the wear and tear of the flesh and bones.
The comfort could not be compared to those available in her previous life.
This kind of “prosthetic limb” was mostly convenient for work. It was neither beautiful nor comfortable.
Now, the pharmacy had given her a simulated prosthetic limb. Although it could not replace a real arm, it could ensure maximum aesthetics and comfort. As for its practicality, Su Xiaoxiao was not sure.
There was no instruction manual.
However, with her understanding of the pharmacy, unfamiliar products often meant the black technology of the base’s pharmacy.
Su Xiaoxiao decided to take it out and try it on Wei Liulang later.
Not now.
She had been tossing and turning all night and was feeling dizzy. She had to catch up on her sleep. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would probably install the arm upside down for Wei Liulang.
In the next room, Wei Ting told his sixth brother about the grave digging.
Wei Liulang was stunned for a long time.
He thought he was the most mischievous person in the family, but no matter how mischievous he was, he did not dare dig the graves at home!
‘You…”
He wanted to beat Little Seven up.
“Sixth Brother, listen to me first. I had no choice.” Wei Ting, who had to pant heavily, hurriedly explained the matter of the blood test.
Wei Liulang did not understand.
There was no blood left. How could they still use blood to identify their relatives?
Wei Ting explained, “Daya’s unique medical skills enable her to test with bones and hair. In short, the results are accurate.”
No matter how they bickered after closing the door, they had to support the little fat peac.o.c.k outside.
Wei Liulang was stunned. “So you mean… it’s not Big Brother and Second Brother’s corpses that are buried in the coffin. The two of them.. might still be alive?”
Wei Ting said seriously, “At least one survived.”
That was the Lord Ghostfear that Slave Xiu mentioned.
As for the other… just because there was no corpse did not mean that he had really survived. He and Sixth Brother had seen with their own eyes how tragic the situation on the battlefield could be.
Wei Liulang sat on the chair in a daze.
It was good that one brother was alive… It was good that one brother was alive…
Wei Ting said, “I don’t think we should tell Grandmother, Mother, and the few sisters-in-law about this yet. What do you think, Sixth Brother?”
Wei Liulang had no objections.
Regardless of whether it was Eldest Brother or Second Brother who was alive, they had to find them first. Otherwise, his grandmother and the others would suffer too much.
Thinking of his family’s death, Wei Liulang’s eyes turned cold. “Although MO Guiyuan has been killed, the murderer of the Wei family is still Northern Yan. I have to take revenge sooner or later!”
Wei Ting said with a determined gaze, “Definitely.”
Wei Liulang seemed to have thought of something. His lips moved, but he hesitated.
Wei Ting guessed what he did not say and narrowed his eyes. “Sixth Brother, the time is not ripe.”
Wei Liulang clenched his fists and whisDered. “I understand.”
Wei Ting was afraid that he would take things too hard and run to the palace to do something stupid, so he changed the topic. “Did Sixth Brother see Mother?”
Wei Ting was afraid that he would take things too hard and run to the palace to do something stupid, so he changed the topic. “Did Sixth Brother see Mother?”
Wei Ting smiled. “Mother must be very happy.”
“Yes.” Wei Liulang nodded.
Wei Ting was envious.
He already understood his mother’s difficulties over the years, but he did not know if it was because they had been distant for too long. Even if the knot in their hearts was untied, they would not be able to recover their normal mother-and-son relationship.
“Have you seen Sister-in-law?” Wei Ting asked again. Wei Liulang shook his head regretfully. “No, Sister-in-law left.”
Madam Chu had left the Wei family.
She didn’t leave a word or take a cent.
Madam Wei deliberately distanced herself from the children. The eldest sister-in-law was like a mother. They felt their mother’s thoughtfulness and gentleness from Madam Chu.
She felt that she had done something wrong to the Wei family and was too ashamed to continue staying in the Wei family, so she chose to leave silently.
She looked weak, but she was very stubborn.
Wei Ting muttered, “It’s a pity that Sister-in-law didn’t know that you were still alive until she left. If she knew, how happy would she be…”
In the next few days, Wei Ting and Wei Liulang were pressed down by Su Xiaoxiao to recuperate in the medical center.
On the Imperial Court’s side, they also confirmed that the person who was found beheaded by the capital was MO Guiyuan.
Although they did not know who the murderer was, it was more or less satisfying.
A sharp knife hanging above his head finally landed. Emperor Jing Xuan ate two more bowls of rice than usual.
Emperor Jing Xuan asked Xiao Zhonghua to lead the troops and carefully search the peach forest of the White Lotus Society.
Why did he not let Xiao Shunyang go? It was mainly because Xiao Shunyang was not as familiar with the peach forest as Xiao Zhonghua.
Xiao Zhonghua searched everywhere he could, but found nothing.
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “Back then, MO Guiyuan swallowed a gold mine. Even if he has been squandering money all these years, it’s impossible for him to spend it all!”
Xiao Zhonghua sighed. “Father, we really didn’t find it.”
Emperor Jing Xuan noticed Xiao Shunyang’s expression. “Second Brother, what are you trying to say?”
Xiao Shunyang recalled, “I… think I’ve seen the White Lotus Society’s vault, but it disappeared overnight. I’m not sure if I’m seeing things.”
Emperor Jing Xuan did not give up. He sent another expert to follow Xiao Zhonghua to look for it, but the outcome was the same.
Emperor Jing Xuan was furious.
Where did the gold of the White Lotus Society go?
Also, was it his imagination?
He fought with the White Lotus Society, but in the end, he and MO Guiyuan did not gain any advantage.
Who was the one who benefited?
After a few rounds of searching, they did not find the gold. Instead, they fished Guo Huan’s corpse out of the trap.
Prime Minister Guo refused to retrieve Guo Huan’s corpse and said that he had already removed this evil creature from the Guo family. No one in the Guo familv was allowed to collect his corpse!
Madam Guo secretly went.
It was said that after burying Guo Huan, Madam Guo was in so much pain that she committed suicide in front of Guo Huan’s grave.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t believe this excuse. Could a spy of the White Lotus Society commit suicide? Couldn’t it be that Prime Minister Guo was afraid of being implicated and hurriedly eliminated the remaining members of the White Lotus Society?
In addition, Leng Rui was dead.
The bones in his body were broken by the huge rock. It was simply a tragic sight.
Leng Tiannan was originally under the huge rock, but Leng Zhiruo saved him in time.
However, Leng Tiannan’s situation was not optimistic. His life was saved, and his legs were crippled by the boulder.
The only person in the capital who could save him was Su Xiaoxiao.
But Su Xiaoxiao… didn’t save him!
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May. Su Xiaoxiao waited happily for the reward from the pharmacy.
In the end, there was nothing.
An arm offset all the rewards.
Su Xiaoxiao cried in her heart!
It was too tragic. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have wanted this arm!
“Boss, the medicine is ready.”
Yun Xiu’s voice came from outside the house.
Su Xiaoxiao wiped her chest. “Come in.”
The door was open, so Yun Xiu naturally saw her actions. “Boss, are you feeling unwell?”
Su Xiaoxiao said soullessly, “No, I’m wiping my tears.” Yun Xiu was dumbfounded.
“Is Sixth Young Master around?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
To outsiders, Wei Liulang was Sixth Young Master.
Yun Xiu said, “Sixth Young Master went out. Ah, right, he said that he can’t pick up the three young masters today.”
Su Xiaoxiao decided to pick them up herself.
Anyway, Ling Yun’s residence was not far.
It was a good opportunity to test if Ling Yun knew the secret pa.s.sage of the White Lotus Society.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the medicine to Wei Ting’s room and watched him walk to Pear Blossom Lane after drinking it.
She was halfway to the door when she suddenly felt someone following her
suspiciously..
