Chapter 158 Original Owner
The two old people were still watching Yun Niangzi take Zicheng and Zihui's measurements in the flower hall when a servant came to report that Han Yiyi had fallen into the pond, and their expressions changed drastically.
"What happened?" Nangong Ling asked sternly.
"Reporting to the old master, Miss Ju Zhirou said that Miss Han accidentally fell in..." The servant stammered as he heard the unprecedented sternness in Nangong Ling's voice.
Upon hearing Zhirou's name, the two exchanged a glance and frowned slightly.
When the two little ones heard that their mother had fallen into the pond, tears immediately welled up in their eyes, and they hurriedly got up to run outside to find Han Yiyi.
But before she could even run out of the flower hall, the old lady stopped her.
"Don't rush, don't rush, your great-grandmother will take you there..."
At this moment, Han Yiyi, who was unconscious, seemed to be carried by a force into a fog. All around her was a vast expanse of white, and she could not see anything clearly.
Suddenly a figure flashed in front of her, startling Han Yiyi so much that she almost fainted. But when she saw who it was, she was even more terrified.
"You, you, I, I..." He kept stammering for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Seeing that Han Yi was frightened, the person opposite quickly spoke softly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to thank you for taking care of the two children during this time, and also for sending them back to the Nangong family..."
The person opposite was none other than the original owner of the body who had already died.
Han Yiyi, who was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, seemed to perk up immediately upon hearing the original owner's words.
"What do you mean? You want me to leave the two children here...?"
Faced with Han Yiyi's question, the person opposite did not rush to speak, but simply looked at Han Yiyi quietly.
At this moment, Han Yiyi seemed to realize that, right... those two children were not hers. They had a biological father, and their father was a famous general of Beichen.
Han Yiyi knew that it was undoubtedly better for the two children to stay in the General's Mansion than to return to Ping'an Town with her. With the connections of the General's Mansion, they could hire the best tutors for them. With the General's Mansion around, their future would be much brighter and brighter...
Knowing this is one thing, but the thought of separating the two children still causes waves of heartache...
The person opposite seemed to be able to see through Han Yiyi's thoughts. Seeing Han Yiyi like this, he couldn't help but sigh, and his expression softened a bit.
“I think the two children don’t want to be separated from you either. Perhaps you could stay here with them…”
Hearing the words of the person opposite her, Han Yiyi couldn't help but think of the scene of Nangong Yuan being surrounded by a group of beautiful women. She shook her head slightly, but when she looked up again, the person opposite her had already disappeared...
In reality, as Nangong Yuan watched as Physician Lu's hand remained on Han Yiyi's wrist for a long time, his expression grew increasingly grim.
"Imperial Physician Lu, what's wrong? Your slow pace is driving me crazy! Is it serious? Please say something first..."
When Physician Lu arrived, he was carried and flung over by Ye Yi, and his neck is still sore from being strangled.
The man had barely landed and hadn't even caught his breath when Nangong Yuan dragged him in front of Han Yiyi. He was already seething with anger, and hearing Nangong Yuan's words only fueled his rage, so he blurted out.
"Get out of here! If anyone disturbs me again, I will stop treating patients. Go find whoever you want..."
As soon as the old lady and her companions entered the courtyard, they heard Physician Lu's angry voice, and their expressions changed again, and they quickened their pace.
He thought to himself, "Could something have happened again? This Physician Lu is known for his good temper, why is he suddenly so angry..."
Before they even entered the inner room, they saw Nangong Yuan and Ye Yi, who had already been kicked out.
"How is it...?" The old lady asked with concern when she saw Nangong Yuan.
"Reporting to Madam, Doctor Lu is still treating patients. He... he doesn't allow anyone to disturb him..."
Seeing his master's grim expression, Ye Yi quickly spoke up to reply on behalf of Nangong Yuan.
Hearing Ye Yi's words, Old Madam Nangong's expression softened. She realized that her grandson had been too concerned about the woman's condition and had disturbed Physician Lu, which was why she had chased him out.
If he is still willing to treat, then he is capable of treating.
Seeing that the two children were still crying, she gently comforted them, and only then did she notice Zhirou standing not far away.
Upon seeing this person, Old Madam Nangong frowned again, thinking to herself, "I thought he was a good person before, but after today's events, I realize that he is actually a very deep and scheming person."
When Zhirou saw the old lady's gaze, she felt a pang of guilt and quickly lowered her head.
She naturally didn't want to stand here, but Nangong Yuan wouldn't allow her to go back, saying he had questions for her, so she had no choice but to stand here.
“I heard from the servants that you saw Miss Han fall into the pond and called Yuan’er. Didn’t I tell you all to go back to your own courtyards? What are you doing here again…”
When Zhirou heard the old lady ask her a question, she quickly replied.
"Replying to Madam, I was originally planning to return to my own courtyard, but I only realized halfway there that my hairpin was missing. My mother gave me that hairpin when I left home, and I liked it very much. Since I hadn't gone anywhere else today except for General Jun's courtyard, I thought I'd come back to look for it. But as soon as I got to the pond, I saw someone fall into the water..."
"Really? The hairpin has been found..."
"Found it, found it..." Hearing the old lady's voice turn noticeably colder, Zhi Rou's voice also trembled visibly.
"Nonsense! Men, drag him to the woodshed. He'll be released when he tells the truth..."
As soon as Madam Nangong finished speaking, two old women walked out from behind her and headed towards Zhirou.
Upon seeing this, Zhirou was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Madam, my daughter is not lying. She is telling the truth. Please believe me..."
Actually, at first, Zhirou wanted to push Han Yiyi into the water and then leave. There was no one around, so no one would know that she was the one who pushed her.
But to her surprise, just as she pushed the person into the pond, she saw Nangong Yuan walking towards her from a distance. It was clearly too late to leave now, so she pretended to be passing by and began to call for help.
As soon as the man was dragged away, the door to the inner room was opened. Seeing the old man coming out, Nangong Yuan hurriedly went to greet him, grabbed the sleeve of Physician Lu, and asked.
"How is she...?"
