Expect the Unexpected

Retribution Has Just Began

When Huang Beiyue woke up, she slowly sat up.

“Lian? Is Akane still asleep?” Beiyue inquired out of worry.

Ye Lian confirmed, “Yes, Tomato Head shouldered most of the pain and focus. She will be out for a few more days. In the mean time, you still have me, so don’t panic.” Ye Lian reassured

Beiyue hummed in satisfaction and a little guilt, “I’m glad she’s resting, that ordeal, even if the two of us only helped preventing the body from going into shock and forced coma. Bearing that magnitude of pain, our family’s Tomato really worked hard. I do know I can count on you, Lian.”

Ye Lian giggled, “Yes, yes, count on me. Why don’t you heal your muscles first? We’ve probably been asleep for quite sometime to recover. So stiff and sore muscles are expected. Heal them first before anyone comes in”

“Great idea!” Beiyue agreed.

Huang Beiyue gathered some Chakra, it’s replenish now and began to heal her sore and stiff muscles.

Ye Lian thought for a bit before giving an advice, “Oh, heal your stomach too as well as organs. We vomit so many blood, and body fluids as well as dead cells that our stomach is very sensitive and empty. Stimulate it so we can at least eat porridge or drink some soup to fill up. At the current state, it’s not advisable to eat some solids. It’s like we are back to have a stomach of a baby, Yue. Even if we have food pills made by Akane, we can’t obviously rely on that forever.” Ye Lian pointed out, “I have been up for two days, I worked more in our brain and chest. Specially the respiratory system and our heart and brain. I’ll leave the digestive system for you to continue.”

Huang Beiyue felt like it indeed make sense and also began to heal her stomach and organs obediently. They indeed quite suffered a blow.

Huang Beiyue was focused on her healing and recovering she didn’t notice the time. She rested for a few minutes and talked with Ye Lian.

The door opened.

When Dongling saw her awake now, she’s delighted. Xiao Zhonglei is just behind her.

“Princess, you finally woke up! Thank goodness! You scared me, Princess!” Dongling swiftly made her way over, “You had several high fever, it’s probably because of the pain but it had been broken two days ago. It’s good that you’re recovered enough to awaken.”

“Third Sister, ah no, Princess, I’m glad you’re awake. You have no idea what happened these past few days.”

The two took turns into telling Huang Beiyue what happened but generally it went as she had expected. Better even, Ye Lian has other opinions but let it slide, anyways, they will not live a good life.

Concubine Fang was spared from punishment, and Xiao Ling, her daughter, was punished to never leave the house until she at least know how to filter her mouth and learn etiquette and mannerism until the day she gets married. In short, House Arrest. They are considered light, the lightest amongst them.

Huang Beiyue thought for a bit, “To repay Aunt Fang, I will arrange dowry for Xiao Ling when she marry off. That will be enough. Without a doubt, Xiao Ling will be used to be a pawn to keep the Xiao Family afloat. Given she is spared severe punishment, she is much better than Xiao Rou and Xiao Yun. Aunt Fang will most likely focus on developing her in another areas to appear much more, a Housewife, if she can reign in that temper. If not, the Dowry will keep her form being drowned with scorn by her future Mother In Law.” Huang Beiyue considered and is satisfied with this decision, despite the huff from Ye Lian who didn’t say anything.
