The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 127 Taking over

Tiger's heart tightened; the relief he had just felt was replaced by anxiety. His eyes widened in terror as he stared at Dongfang Wan'er, wondering what other demands this young lady might have. He thought: Haven't I already met her demands? Or does she simply not intend to let me go?

"Grandma, what exactly are you going to do..." Tiger couldn't help but ask, his tone revealing helplessness and anxiety. At this moment, he had completely lost the courage to resist and could only resign himself to fate.

"Not so great. We beat you up here, and the moment we leave, you come and smash up the boss's inn. Wouldn't that be wrong of us?" Dongfang Wan'er said with a smile.

"Grandma, I promise I won't do that..." Tiger was startled. How did she know that he was planning to do just that...?

"I don't trust you. You should come with us. Don't linger in your village anymore..." Dongfang Wan'er said casually, taking out a silver needle. She was certain that Hu Zi would not give in easily.

"What? You want me to go with you? No way, absolutely no way! You might as well just kill me!" Tiger shouted.

He thought to himself, "Giving up such a comfortable life to follow this group of people? No, absolutely not..."

"You don't want to save your little brother's life anymore...?" Dongfang Wan'er threatened again.

"Brother Tiger, don't worry about me, I'm just a worthless wretch..." the underling said.

Tiger hesitated. He was fine with dying, but his brothers had risked their lives for him; he couldn't just abandon them...

"Can you save my brother...?" Tiger asked Dongfang Wan'er in a trembling voice.

"Yes, and I can even reattach his hand!" Dongfang Wan'er replied confidently, knowing that Hu Zi would definitely agree.

"You can make my brother's hand grow back?" Tiger's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Tiger's underlings also looked on with hope, their eyes all fixed on Dongfang Wan'er.

"Of course you can, but the condition is that you have to come with us and be loyal to my husband. No matter what adventures you encounter in the future, you must remain loyal to him..." Dongfang Wan'er's voice was full of authority.

Tiger was silent for a moment, then said with a firm look in his eyes, "Okay, I promise you..."

"Eat this..." Dongfang Wan'er took out a pill and handed it to Hu Zi.

Tiger took the pill without hesitation and swallowed it without saying a word.

"Brother Tiger..." the henchmen exclaimed in surprise. They didn't know what the woman had given Brother Tiger to eat.

"Aren't you afraid I'll poison you..." Dongfang Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, expressing her admiration for Hu Zi's courage.

"Heh, you just said you wanted me to be loyal to your husband, so why would you poison me? I'm afraid it's something controlling me..." Tiger replied calmly, as if he had already expected this.

“Smart. When you are completely loyal to me, I will naturally detoxify you…” Dongfang Wan’er said to Hu Zi with a smile.

"Wan'er, I don't need any manpower..." Ye Jiuchen frowned. He really couldn't understand why Dongfang Wan'er insisted on finding him a subordinate.

“No, you need…” Dongfang Wan’er stared intently at Ye Jiuchen, her tone firm.

"Then let's listen to Wan'er. This person is quite capable. From now on, let him be responsible for protecting you." Ye Jiuchen sighed helplessly.

"Alright!" Dongfang Wan'er thought to herself. Perhaps Ye Jiuchen couldn't accept Hu Zi right now, but he should be fine with time.

At this moment, Tiger interrupted anxiously, "You should save my brother first. If this continues, he might bleed to death..."

"Alright, innkeeper, quickly give us a room." Dongfang Wan'er turned to look at the innkeeper.

"Sir, please follow me..." The innkeeper immediately instructed the waiter to lead Dongfang Wan'er and her party upstairs.

Upon arriving at the room, Dongfang Wan'er solemnly told Ye Jiuchen and the others, "You all wait outside and don't disturb me."

"Miss, do you need my help?" Qiuqin asked with concern.

"No need..." Dongfang Wan'er waved her hand, afraid of frightening Qiu Qin, after all, the surgery was a bit scary...

"Wan'er, go in peace. I won't let anyone in..." Ye Jiuchen patted Dongfang Wan'er's shoulder and comforted her.

"Hmm..." Dongfang Wan'er nodded and then went into the room.

"Lie down, where are your hands?" Dongfang Wan'er told Hu Zi's underling to lie down on the operating table.

"Girl, here, my hand..." The younger brother handed his severed hand to Dongfang Wan'er.

"Put it here..." Dongfang Wan'er didn't even look up as she prepared the things needed for the surgery.

"Girl, can my hand really be reattached?" the younger brother asked nervously.

"Don't talk anymore. I said I can fix it. Lie down... Aren't you afraid of dying from blood loss?" Dongfang Wan'er said calmly, looking at her younger brother's hand.

"Okay, okay..." The younger brother quickly lay down, not daring to move again.

Dongfang Wan'er started administering anesthesia to her younger brother, the kind that's general anesthesia...

Before long, my younger brother fell asleep...

"Hey, hey..." Dongfang Wan'er gently patted her little brother's face to make sure he was completely asleep...

Only then did he take his younger brother's hand and enter the space... arriving at his own laboratory where he performed surgeries...

"Luckily, the hand was separated from my body for a short enough time, otherwise I would have had to cut open my stomach to heal it..." Dongfang Wan'er thought to herself, thankfully everything was still in time. She took a deep breath, preparing to face the challenge ahead.

Then, Dongfang Wan'er took over the task from her younger brother. She worked with complete concentration, every movement filled with confidence and focus.

She meticulously reconnected each vein and blood vessel in her hand, as if the needle and thread were her closest companions. Finally, she carefully bandaged the wound, ensuring nothing was missed.

"Phew, it's finally a success..." Dongfang Wan'er sighed softly, the weight on her heart finally lifted.

Although the surgery was long and arduous, she remained steadfast in her belief that she could complete the task. Now, looking at her younger brother's intact hand, she feels immense relief.

The surgery took half an hour, and as each second ticked by, Dongfang Wan'er remained vigilant. She kept a close eye on her younger brother's hand, fearing any mishap. Only after confirming the surgery was completely successful did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Dongfang Wan'er then led her younger brother out of the space, feeling exceptionally relaxed. She quickly started an IV drip on him to help him recover his strength.

"Squeak..." The door slowly opened, making a soft sound.

"How is it? Can the hand be reattached...?" Tiger rushed over as soon as he heard the door open, eagerly asking about the situation. His eyes revealed deep concern and worry.

However, Ye Jiuchen kicked Hu Zi away without hesitation, saying rudely, "You eyesore..."
