Chapter 38
"Should we tell the master?"
Jin Yu and Yin Hua discussed in a low voice.
Shen Jiao carried Xue Shun to the bed, opened his eyelids, felt his pulse, and felt... nothing was wrong.
But she doesn't know any medical skills, so it's not surprising that she made a mistake.
"How about we wait until Doctor Sun takes a look? Perhaps you don't want to tell them."
Shen Jiao saw that the two of them were undecided and said something.
Yinhua said angrily, "That's easy to say, but if anything goes wrong, we won't be in any good shape!"
Jin Yu frowned, "If things go like this, it will affect us too. I'm afraid they won't blame us for not serving them well enough."
"Why did this happen out of the blue? Are you possessed by evil spirits?"
Yinhua was so irritable that she spoke without thinking, but she found evidence from the maid who was on night watch.
"It's probably true. There was something wrong with the look in his eyes just now!"
Shen Jiao said, "What could be wrong? I'm afraid he lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss."
Jin Yu said, "Okay, stop talking. Let's wait for Doctor Sun to take a look before we make a decision. The fewer people who know about this, the better.
You too, why are you shouting so loudly? Why didn't you pay attention earlier? Why don't you get out?"
She glared at the maid and drove her out.
He only left Yinhua and Shenjiao to guard here, and went to the door to welcome Doctor Sun.
Xue Shun's hands had been tied up with cloth, and some blood was still seeping out, but there were no new wounds, so it wasn't as creepy as before.
The two men cleaned up the bloodstains on the table and waited for a long time before Doctor Sun arrived in a hurry. However, he was followed by the Sixth Young Master Xue Lang and a group of people who served him. This was really a headache.
Jin Yu's face turned pale as he tried to stop him: "Why is Sixth Young Master here? It's so late and Seventeenth Young Master has already gone to bed."
"Why are you looking for a doctor after you rest?"
Jin Yu was speechless.
Xue Lang sneered and cursed, "You bastards! You're trying to hide something from the master! I think Seventeenth Brother is too easygoing. He's letting you down and making you lose your temper."
As he said this, he stepped into the courtyard.
Jin Yu wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Yunu again: "Why don't you move aside? Is it your turn to stop your brother from visiting you?"
Jin Yu was alone and weak, so how could he stop the group? He could only watch them walk towards the main house. He grabbed Qiongzhi, who had also been squeezed to the back, and whispered, "What's going on? Why is the Sixth Young Master here? Did you tell him everything?"
"No, I didn't say anything. I ran into him on the way back. The Sixth Young Master recognized Doctor Sun and guessed that something was wrong with him, so he insisted on coming to see me. I couldn't stop him, so he just said he was accidentally injured."
Before Qiongzhi went out, she didn't hear clearly whether the maid was shouting about self-harm or suicide. She only knew that the situation was bad, so she didn't dare to tell the truth to anyone. But now that people have broken in, she was afraid she couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.
As he spoke, the Sixth Young Master had already rushed into the room with his men. Seeing Xue Shun's pale face and the wound on his hand, his expression suddenly changed. He asked, "What's going on?"
Shen Jiao and Yin Hua looked at each other, and Jin Yu and Qiong Zhi, who ran in, also knelt down and bowed, not daring to answer.
"Speak up, are all the people in Liao'e Courtyard dumb? The master is injured like this, don't you think anyone knows what happened?"
Xue Lang turned around with a dark face and kicked Shen Jiao on the shoulder, knocking her to the ground. The sound was not loud but anyone could see that he was extremely angry.
Shen Jiao didn't react much. She silently got up and knelt down. However, Yinhua beside her shuddered with fear. She subconsciously glanced at her and then looked away.
Jin Yu replied, "Sixth Young Master, please forgive me. Seventeenth Young Master... he injured himself like this. The maid on night watch wasn't paying attention, and when they found him, he was already bleeding profusely and unconscious. We were so frightened that we didn't know what to do for a moment. We didn't mean to deceive."
She hesitated for a moment, then spoke more fluently.
Maybe it's just a broken jar.
Xue Lang became even more furious after hearing this: "Where is the night watch maid?"
Jin Yu said, "I knew she wasn't serving you well, so I sent her back to her room. I wanted to wait until you wake up before I deal with you."
"The master couldn't even stop her from hurting herself. What's the point of waiting for a maid like her? Just kill her immediately." Xue Lang turned his head and saw two people leaving. He then looked at Shen Jiao and the others. "And you, the maids who are close to the master, can't even detect that the master is about to do such a thing. What's the point of having you?"
"Sir, spare my life..."
The murderous tone of these words made people's hearts skip a beat.
They had no choice but to beg for mercy.
There were one or two pleas for mercy in the yard, but they soon stopped, perhaps because they were dead or because their mouths were blocked. They were so skilled that this was definitely not the first time they had done such a thing. It was ridiculous that these people still thought that Xue Shun, who looked fierce but was actually weak, had a bad temper.
How many lives have been lost by these famous young masters?
Shen Jiao doesn't believe that they manage people based solely on generosity and good temper.
It's just that no one dares to pick on them...
I don’t know if anyone is willing to help me buy a big red coffin.
Shen Jiao fell to the ground, very worried.
Xue Lang gave up again: "According to my temper, I would never keep maids like you, but you are Seventeen's people after all..."
He pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Come, lock them up in the woodshed and don't give them a single grain of water or rice. We'll decide what to do with them after Seventeen wakes up."
Life was saved.
Jin Yuyinhua cried with joy: "Thank you very much, sir."
Qiongzhi cried pitifully and kowtowed, unable to speak.
Shen Jiao trembled and shed tears, thinking: He is not crazy yet, he still knows who we are. It is difficult to deal with him, so what about the life just now?
…
It's her bad luck.
As Shen Jiao was pushed across the courtyard, he looked at the lifeless corpse and said something silently.
The sooner you die, the sooner you escape.
Doctor Sun in the room had already taken the patient's pulse and examined the injuries with great care. The largest wound had been sutured with mulberry root thread, and medicine had been applied to the other wounds.
Then he reported to Xue Lang, "Sixth Young Master, please be at ease. Although the Seventeenth Young Master has lost some blood, his life is not in danger. Just take good care of him and keep him from getting a fever. I will prescribe some decoctions. He will wake up in a day or two at the latest."
"Thank you, Doctor Sun. My Seventeenth Brother is weak. Please take care of him and wait until he wakes up before leaving."
"As it should be, as it should be."
Doctor Sun followed Yu Nu to get the medicine.
Xue Lang asked the system in his mind: [How was my acting?]
System: [Very similar.]
"What do you mean by very similar? I mean exactly like the real thing," Xue Lang said dissatisfiedly. "Anyone who sees me is a caring brother."
System: [Xue Shun might not think so. You killed his maid and imprisoned several others.]
"What he thinks is not important. What matters is whether I can push him into a helpless situation," Xue Lang thought to himself. "Do you think those maids will blame Xue Shun for causing such a thing, or will they blame me for being too cruel?"
The system said: [Based on past experience, they are likely to blame Xue Shun.]
[Haha, that's natural. It's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.]
Xue Lang turned around and gave a few instructions.
The maid who was hiding in the house was brought out, knelt in the yard, and recited scriptures to pray for her master.
