Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 37 Accidental Injury

It was a gloomy day. Su Jinxiu, accompanied by Xiao Cui and several guards, went out to handle a business matter for the Marquis's residence. The carriage moved slowly through the streets of the capital, and no one expected the danger that was about to befall them.

As the carriage traveled into a relatively secluded alley, a group of dark figures suddenly darted out from all sides, wielding sharp blades, and charged towards the carriage.

"Protect the young lady!" the guards shouted, quickly drawing their swords to meet the attack.

In an instant, the sounds of clashing swords echoed through the alley. Su Jinxiu, inside the carriage, was startled by the fighting outside.

"Xiao Cui, don't be afraid." Su Jinxiu held Xiao Cui's hand tightly.

Just then, an assassin broke through the guards' defenses and rushed towards the carriage. He suddenly flung open the carriage curtain and swung his sword at Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu dodged to the side, but was still slashed on the arm by the assassin.

"Miss!" Xiao Cui screamed.

The guards fought valiantly and finally repelled the assassin. But then, even more assassins surged forward.

"Hurry up!" the guard leader shouted.

The driver hurriedly drove the chariot at breakneck speed, trying to escape the assassin's pursuit.

However, the assassins relentlessly pursued them.

In the chaos, a stray arrow struck, hitting Su Jinxiu squarely in the shoulder.

Su Jinxiu let out a painful groan, and her vision went black for a moment.

"Miss, you must hold on!" Xiao Cui cried, tears streaming down her face.

The guards fought desperately and finally escaped the assassin's pursuit.

The carriage sped back to the Marquis's residence.

"Quickly, call a doctor!" Xiao Cui's shouts echoed throughout the Marquis's residence.

Upon learning of Su Jinxiu's injury, Xiao Ling rushed over.

"Jinxiu, how are you?" Xiao Ling asked anxiously.

Su Jinxiu was already unconscious, and her clothes were stained with blood.

The doctor rushed over and treated Su Jinxiu.

"The injured person's injuries are serious and require proper care," the doctor said.

Xiao Ling frowned, his eyes filled with anger and worry: "We must save her!"

A tense atmosphere pervaded the Marquis's residence.

Su Jinxiu was unconscious for a day and a night, and Xiao Ling stayed by her bedside the whole time, never leaving her side.

Finally, Su Jinxiu slowly opened her eyes.

"I...I'm still alive?" Su Jinxiu's voice was weak.

Xiao Ling excitedly grasped her hand: "Jinxiu, you're awake, that's wonderful."

Su Jinxiu tried to sit up, but frowned because of the pain in her wound.

"Don't move, get some rest," Xiao Ling said.

After investigation, it was discovered that the assassination was not accidental, but rather a deliberate act.

"Who would be so bold?" Xiao Cui said angrily.

Xiao Ling's face darkened: "No matter who it is, I will not let him go."

During her recovery, Su Jinxiu kept thinking about who was behind the attack.

"Could they be remnants of Su Yue's faction?" Su Jinxiu wondered to herself.

Xiao Ling intensified his investigation, leaving no stone unturned.

During this process, the Marquis's residence encountered a series of troubles.

Some businesses that had partnered with the Marquis's mansion suddenly broke their contracts, causing another severe blow to the mansion's businesses.

“There must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes,” Xiao Ling said.

Su Jinxiu's injuries are gradually improving, but she is still unable to get out of bed and walk.

"I must get better as soon as possible and find out who's behind this," Su Jinxiu vowed silently.

Just then, Xiao Ling received a mysterious letter that seemed to reveal a key clue to the incident.

Xiao Ling decided to go to the location mentioned in the letter alone to find out what was going on.

However, this turned out to be a trap...
