Chapter 5 I'm Fine..._1

Su Pan'er paused her movements and looked up, her gaze falling into the depths of a pair of jet-black eyes.

His body was exceptionally thin and frail, and there was a sickly red hue on his cheeks. Those deep eyes flickered with surprise, but before he could speak, he broke into a series of violent coughs.

She didn't get a good look at him last night, but now in the daylight, apart from his physique, this low-price bridegroom was quite handsome.

"It's nothing."

She replied with a stiff face.

Qin Yi stepped in between them and quickly asked, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?"

Mrs. Qin-Li jumped when she saw Qin Yi, "You ungrateful brat! You're doing fine! The Su Family fooled you lightly, and you quietly accepted this shameless, aggressive woman. I wonder how many debts I owed you and what wrongs I committed in my past life to give birth to such a useless son, are you even a man ..."

"Mother!"

As the other party's words became harsher, Qin Yi's face turned red and white, "Pan'er has married into the Qin Family, and she is now our daughter-in-law. If she has done something wrong, you should face me. Mother! Cough cough..."

"Look at you!"

Mrs Qin-Li started a tantrum, pouring a bucket of dirty water over Su Pan'er, "I, an old woman, am not so fortunate to have such a courageous daughter-in-law! Let's see how I handle her today.."

The Qin family was ablaze!

Pumped and ready to tear Su Pan'er apart, there's no way Qin Yi could have calmed her down with a few simple words.

Breaking into a fight, her anger spiraled further. She picked up a pole resting against the wall and directed it straight at Su Pan'er.

"Be careful!"

With sharp eyes, Qin Yi instinctively shouted a warning and shielded Su Pan'er.

The pole landed directly on Qin Yi's back. He grunted in pain immediately.

Subconsciously, Su Pan'er looked up.

His face turned pale instantly.

She gasped!

Qin Yi forced a smile at her, his lips forming a forced curve. Despite enduring the pain, traces of bright red blood lingered at the corners of his mouth.

Suppressing his coughs, he wiped away the blood at the corners of his mouth and looked at Su Pan'er pitifully, "/Honey..."

"Shut it!"

Su Pan'er twisted her eyebrows into a knot, "The moment you should have spoken up, you remained silent. When you shouldn't have got involved, you acted recklessly. Look at the mess you put us in!"

She felt frustrated!

Mrs. Qin-Li didn't hold back with the pole. This fool, already weak from internal injury and coughing blood, was now injured further.

Even though he swallowed back the blood, how could she, particularly sensitive to the stench of blood, not recognize it?

"Honey, are you worried for me?"

"Get lost!"

With these words, she threw a deadly glare at him and pushed him away, "Which one of your eyes saw me worry for you?! Were you assuming that I am worried you might die, forcing me to become... a widow?"

She had just passed the door yesterday, and she would be the unluckiest if she became a widow today.

"I am fine..."

Qin Yi laughed dismissively, but before he could say anything else, his body wobbled and he fell down.

"..."

Claiming to be fine even in this state?

Su Pan'er raised her eyebrows, and regardless of the chiding Mrs. Qin-Li from behind, she picked Qin Yi up and carried him into the firewood room.

Mrs. Qin-Li was frightened by this show!

She naturally knew how heavy her pole had been.

"This unfilial son, having a wife and forgetting his mother, deserved to die ..."

With eyes darting in every direction, her cursing was noticeably quieter, and she entered the room, closing the door behind her.

Su Pan'er checked his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.

He's been coughing blood from internal injuries, suffering from lung yin deficiency syndrome, causing internal heat due to deficiency, and lung failure to moisten. Treated continuously as if he had tuberculosis, made his condition persist. Last night, on her wedding night, he also consumed a small amount of tiger-wolf medicine, the medicinal power accumulating in his body.

His ability to cough up this clot of blood is rather fortunate for him.

Knowing that he was temporarily stabilizing, Su Pan'er waved her hand and slapped him...

Smack

A crisp sound.

"Since you're awake, get up, why are you faking death? A big man like you playing such childish tricks, aren't you embarrassed!"

As expected, Qin Yi opened his eyes, and there was a tired smile on his face, "I didn't want you to confront my mom..."

"Huh! Your mom? Are you sure she is your mother, she didn't even care if you lived or died!" After speaking, she turned and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Qin Yi asked in a hurry.

"To find something to eat!"

A voice came, but the person had already disappeared at the door, leaving Qin Yi behind with a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.
