The eldest master still looked solemn: "How is Brother Xian?"

Xie Xiuzhu's eyes reddened: "Big brother was injured while saving us, but Wanruo said that his wound was not vital, and the imperial physician was removing the arrow from him."

The master was still worried and could only wait outside with a gloomy face.

The second and third wives also came, and even the old lady was driven away.

The Third Lady's hands trembled when she saw Xie Xiuzhu was safe and sound, but fortunately she hid it in her sleeves and no one found it.

"Who on earth dares to touch the young lady of the Xie family?!" The eldest master's face was gloomy.

Xie Xiuzhu's eyes were red as she shook her head: "I don't know. The ones who kidnapped us were a gang of horse bandits, but they said they would do it for money. Someone must have been behind it!"

"Did the horse bandit leave any survivors?"

“It seems so.”

The third wife's face turned stiff and her calves began to tremble.

The eldest master paced back and forth angrily, "Once we find out who is behind this, our Xie family will never let it go! How could Brother Xian be so badly injured?"

This question really stumped Xie Xiuzhu. Her elder brother had been practicing martial arts since he was young and was also accompanied by the imperial guards. How could a dozen horse bandits possibly hurt him?

But at this moment, the door was opened and the imperial physician came out, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The master immediately asked, "Is my son okay?"

"The crossbow bolt has been removed from the eldest master's body, and the bleeding has been stopped in time. He has a slight fever for the time being, but he will be fine after taking another dose of antipyretic medicine. It's nothing serious."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried in to take a look.

"Brother Xian." The old lady walked in anxiously.

Xie Xianyu hadn't regained consciousness yet, and was lying on the bed with a pale face. His wound had been treated and wrapped with gauze, but blood was still seeping out, which was a shocking sight.

But what was more conspicuous was Wanruo who was forced to sit on the edge of the bed.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, her eyes falling on Xie Xianyu's hand which was tightly gripping her wrist.

Wanruo was a little embarrassed and wanted to get up, but she couldn't pry Xie Xianyu's hand away. "I, I'm here to help Doctor Liu."

Xie Xiuzhu immediately came to the rescue: "Big brother was confused after he fell unconscious, and suddenly he grabbed Wanruo's hand and wouldn't let go."

The eldest lady was skeptical. This statement was more than enough to fool Xie Xiuzhu, but it might not be the same for others.

Could Xie Xianyu just grab a woman and not let go? He wasn't the Third Master.

Wanruo swallowed, looked at the eldest lady and said, "Maybe I recognized the wrong person."

This statement was somewhat credible. The old lady nodded reluctantly and was about to check Xie Xianyu's injuries again, but suddenly Xie Xianyu's pale lips moved while he was unconscious.

His breathing was a little rapid, and his voice was low and rarely anxious: "Wanwan."

The room instantly fell into dead silence.

The old lady glanced at Xie Xianyu, then at Xu Wanruo, a rare look of surprise and suspicion in her old eyes.

The news that Xie Xianyu had a woman had spread far and wide. They even suspected the courtesans outside, but they never imagined that this woman would be Xu Wanruo?!

The eldest master didn't care much about the things in the inner house, and he frowned when he heard this. How could this be so embarrassing?

Xie Xiuzhu was still confused and asked, "Wanwan? Who is Wanwan?"

Wanruo's head was buzzing and the world was spinning. She wished she could run away immediately. Her face turned red but she couldn't utter a word to defend herself.

But Xie Xianyu still held her wrist tightly, and the more she struggled, the tighter he gripped her.

In the end, she could only look at the old lady in frustration and helplessness: "Old lady..."
