Chapter 984: Calculating Scholar 39

After understanding the situation, Ye Qingtong’s expression turned cold. He looked at the Li family and said sharply, “Didn’t you hear Wan Wan say she won’t pursue it? Then get out.”

Mother Li nodded hurriedly, panic all over her face. “We’re leaving, we’re leaving right now!” Together with Father Li, she helped the injured Li Fuze up, and the three of them quickly left the Tang family courtyard.

As soon as they were gone, Tang Wan’s strength seemed to drain further. She leaned weakly against Ye Qingtong and said with difficulty, “Tong Tong… close the door.”

“Alright, I’ll do it now.” Ye Qingtong nodded. He first carried her back to the bed, then hurried out to bolt the courtyard door. After that, he drew a bucket of cold water from the well and brought it into her room.

“Wan Wan, wash yourself with cold water first. I’ll go find a doctor. Don’t open the door for anyone until I come back,” he said urgently.

“Tong Tong… I feel so uncomfortable…” Tang Wan looked at him, her eyes full of grievance and faint tears.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qingtong’s heart burned with anger, wishing he had beaten Li Fuze even more viciously. But at the same time, he clenched his fists.

If he lost control now, how would he be any different from that scum?

“Bear with it a little,” he said hoarsely. “We’re not married yet… otherwise…”

Otherwise, he could have used himself to help her through it.

“Tong Tong…” Tang Wan’s voice trembled, her expression becoming even more pitiful.

Ye Qingtong’s restraint was pushed to the limit. After a moment, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and picked her up in his arms. “Then we’ll go home first.”

Holding her tightly as she struggled restlessly in his arms, he quickly headed toward the door. Ahuang followed closely behind.

After locking the Tang family gate, Ye Qingtong carried her all the way toward his home at a near run. By the time they arrived, the moon had already risen high above the trees.

Father Ye and Mother Ye had been wondering why he hadn’t returned yet. Seeing him come back carrying Tang Wan, both of them were stunned.

“Qingtong, what happened?” Mother Ye asked immediately.

“Mother, no time to explain,” Ye Qingtong said quickly. “Something happened. Wan Wan and I are getting married tonight.”

At this point, there was no time to worry about auspicious dates. Fortunately, he had already prepared many things in advance after their engagement, so a simple ceremony could be arranged immediately.

Hearing this, the Ye parents were momentarily dumbfounded. But seeing Tang Wan’s flushed face and abnormal state, they immediately understood that something was wrong.

The two exchanged a glance, then nodded decisively.

“Alright! Go change into wedding clothes. Your father and I will prepare the candles,” Mother Ye said at once.

“Mm!” Ye Qingtong nodded, then carried Tang Wan straight into his room.

Within ten minutes, everything was hastily prepared. Father Ye and Mother Ye changed into clean clothes and sat in the main hall. Soon, Ye Qingtong and Tang Wan completed a simple bow to heaven and earth.

“Father, Mother, I’ll take Wan Wan inside first,” Ye Qingtong said anxiously.

“Go, go quickly,” the two urged, fully aware of Tang Wan’s condition.

Without delay, Ye Qingtong carried Tang Wan back into the room. Closing the door behind him, he looked down at her flushed, dazed face, his voice low and firm.

“Wan Wan… I’ll help you detoxify.”
