Rebirth Of The General’s Granddaughter
chapter-108

Who knew that at this time, an attacker who was sprawled on the ground, sent a flying dagger towards Zi You’s back.

“You’er, be care careful!” Shangguan LingRan cried out in alarm. He flew over and pushed her away, That sharp dagger sliced into his chest.

“Shangguan LingRan!” Zi You flew over like lightning. She repelled two attackers and grabbed hold of Shangguan LingRan.

Shangguan Lingkan wanted to speak, but more enemies were attacking with swords. He once again shoved Zi You behind him and used his own body to block a sword for her.

The sword pierced Shangguan LingRan’s left shoulder blade. When the sword was pulled out, Shangguan LingRan’s blood sprayed far away.

“Ah…….” Zi You was crazy and her spiritual power greatly increased. In front of the waterfall, an earthshattering power rushed by. The waterfall immediately changed directions, like the Qiantang River, and rushed towards the few remaining attackers. The waterfall swept over the people and even carried them into the valley.

Zi You slowly retracted her spiritual power. She threw herself in front of Shangguan LingRan and hissed through her teeth, “You’re the stupid one. Who asked you to block a sword for me?”

After scolding him, Zi You suddenly changed from a little leopard into a gentle kitten. As she was crying, she asked worriedly, “How are you doing? Can you hang on? I’ll treat you right away. I beg you. Shangguan LingRan, you cannot die. If you die, our whole General’s Manor will be executed.”

Seeing her crying for him, Shangguan LingRan was originally very happy. He felt that it was worth it even if he died today.

But in the next second, listening to the second half of her words, he was angered and coldly snorted. “Huh…… this Shizi…… can’t hang on anymore. This Shizi……. has been angered to death by…… you idiot.”

“That’s great. Shangguan Lingkan, you’re not dead.” Zi You saw that he didn’t die and was well enough to speak. She smiled happily through her tears.

She was originally a cold person and rarely smiled brightly. He thought that she was aloof and hard to approach during the many times that Shangguan Lingkan saw her. Even when she was trying to seduce Zhao HongXiang with her demonically charming smile, her eyes were still bone-chillingly cold.

But at this moment, her smile was as warm as spring. The joy in her eyes was like hundreds of white flowers blooming together: bright and eyecatching

Shangguan Lingkan saw this and felt that the pain in his body had reduced by a lot. He looked devilishly charmingly at her and was about to speak, but pulled his wound. He couldn’t help but groan.

Zi You gently held him up and quickly went to find medicine to treat his injuries.

A haemostatic and blood-enriching pill: Dragon Blood Pill. She first put two into Shangguan LingRan’s mouth and gave two to Weishali. Then she took out and poured haemostatic powder on Shangguan LingRan’s wounds. She took out gauze cloth to bandage him up. When the gauze cloth ran out, she tore her clean clothing into strips and wrapped them around Shangguan LingRan.

After treating Shangguan LingRan’s injuries, she started treating Weishali’s injuries. Then she heard Old General Mu and Mu Ying Yi’s impatient shouts. “You’er, You’er, hang on. Grandfather (uncle) is coming.”

Zi You loudly shouted back. “Grandfather, uncle, hurry. I’m over here.”

Before her words finished, Old General Mu and Mu Ying Yi had quickly flew in front of her.

Old General Mu anxiously pulled her over and carefully scrutinized her up and down. “Sweetheart, are you hurt?”

Zi You shook her head and pointed to the Shangguan LingRan lying on the ground. She said guilty, “I’m fine, but Shizi Ye is injured trying to protect me.’

Then Old General Mu finally saw the person and snake lying on the ground. He went over and said with gratitude, “This old man will never forget Shizi Ye’s great grace and kindness. This old man owes Shizi Ye a life. If Shizi Ye ever needs a favor, as long as it’s not asking this old man to commit treason, defect to the enemy, or seize the throne, this old man is willing to do whatever you want.”

Shangguan LingRan knew that Old General Mu was loyal to his imperial uncle, so he didn’t say anything and awkwardly coughed. “Cough, Old General Mu is too serious. This Shizi is a man and it’s normal to protect a woman. Not to mention, this Shizi likes You’er and doesn’t want to see her injured.”

Shangguan Lingkan suddenly spoke out his mind.

Old General Mu and Mu Ying Yi thought they heard wrong. Zi You also thought she heard wrong.

Did the attackers injure this person’s head? Why is he speaking nonsense? How can someone who mocks me every time he sees me likes me?

But if he doesn’t like me, then why did he protect me with his life?

Zi You felt her mind was in chaos. She resentfully picked up Weishali and said to her grandfather, “Let’s go, grandfather. Let’s ignore this lecher.”

Old General Mu’s impression of Shangguan LingRan was the same as everyone in high society in the capital. He thought he was a spoiled dandy with no talents who only knew how to drink and gamble.

But what Shangguan Lingkan did today was really unexpected.

Earlier, he heard Xie Yunfeng recount how Shangguan LingRan and You’er faced off against more than thirty armed attackers.

Just now, his granddaughter told him how this dandy used his own body to block a sword for her.

Now, he admitted frankly and openly that he liked You’er. He wasn’t like other males who deeply buried their feelings and were afraid to say it out loud.

No matter what, his behavior was not of a dandy, but a gentleman. Also, he was a gentleman very highly skilled in martial arts.

Old General Mu’s heroic eyebrows furrowed. He deliberately said in displeasure, “Please take back what you just said, Shizi Ye. This old man’s granddaughter is not yet engaged. Wouldn’t your words ruin her reputation?”

Shangguan Lingkan did not get angry. He lifted his fists politely and grimaced in pain. “Please forgive LingRan’s abruptness, Old General, but a man’s word is worth nine sacred tripods. How can feelings be made into a joke? Nonsense? Casually retract them? LingRan’s admiration for Mu Xiaojie is from the heart. Besides telling Old General and Mu Xiaojie today, these words have not been said to anyone else, so how can Mu Xiaojie’s reputation be ruined? Please rest assured, Old General. As long as Old General agrees to LingRan’s request, LingRan will get a matchmaker and send betrothal gifts. Not one procedure will be skipped. If Old General does not agree, Lingkan will not blame you, but LingRan will not easily give… up.”

He hadn’t finished speaking, but his head tilted and he fainted.

It was very difficult for him to support himself after sustaining such injuries and losing so much blood.

Old General Mu was about to tell someone to help Shangguan Lingkan up, but his granddaughter who spoke harshly just earlier, had already rushed over to Shangguan LingRan’s side. She said extremely anxiously, “Shangguan Lingkan, you can’t sleep. I’m telling you, if you dare to sleep, I will drag you back from hell.”

After shouting, she looked tearfully at her grandfather. “Grandfather, he’s like this because he saved me. We can’t leave him here.”

Old General Mu nodded. He was thinking, “When did I say I was leaving him here? Didn’t you yell that out? And now you’re changing your mind?’

Old General Mu was afraid of something happening to Shangguan LingRan, so he didn’t think too much. He had people quickly carry Shangguan LingRan into a horse carriage and galloped towards the capital.

Zi You feared that Shangguan LingRan’s wounds would rupture, so she held him stably in her arms. Old General Mu frowned at this. “If you do this, aren’t you afraid he won’t let you go and ruin your reputation? You should know that your grandfather’s position is very important and many people are eying it. Do you know who came by in the afternoon? Taizi Ye also wants to marry you as cefei. He even suggested marrying you so that you are second only to Taizifei. And Shizi Ye just mentioned marrying you. If the Emperor finds out, our General’s Manor……”

Zi You’s confused heart finally calmed down after hearing her grandfather’s words.

However, she did not let go of Shangguan LingRan and continued stabilizing his upper body in her arms. She calmly said, “Grandfather, You’er knows what’s at stake. You can rest assured that You’er will never marry any wangzis or shizis. You’er treating Shizi Ye like this is to repay his favor. Reputation is important, but a life is important too. Besides, if anything happens to Shizi Ye, our General’s Manor will also be in trouble. Grandfather, whether it is for justice or private feelings, I cannot ignore him. Grandfather, do you know? This incident was caused by Shangguan Lingluo and that woman Wang

Yiping. Shizi Ye told me that Wang Yiping sent a message to her maiden family and her maiden family sent a message to Shangguan Lingluo. Fortunately, Shizi Ye’s people found out. Shizi Ye rushed to tell your granddaughter. Otherwise, granddaughter would be in danger. Those attackers risked their lives to kill me.”

How could Old General Mu spare someone who dared to harm his granddaughter multiple times?

Old General Mu decisively said, “Don’t worry about that. Grandfather will seek justice for you. Whether it is Fourth Gongzhu or that…. that cheap wench, grandfather won’t let her off.”

“What does grandfather want to do?” Zi You couldn’t help but ask. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her grandfather. It was because she understood him too well. Her grandfather was upright and plainspoken. He would certainly complain to the Emperor and find her unreliable father to divorce Wang Yiping.

As a result, Shangguan Lingluo would be punished to stay at a temple for two months. Wang Yiping would leave the Mu family with her dowry and continue to be happy.

Such punishment was letting them off too lightly. She would be sorry to herself if she didn’t have them suffer in pain.

Sure enough, her grandfather’s response was the same as her thoughts. “Grandfather will tell the matter of Wang Yiping and Shangguan Lingluo colluding to your father and the Emperor.”
