Chapter 470 Don’t touch him!
"What on earth happened?" Suddenly, a cold male voice came from not far away.
The voice was not loud, but every word was weighty and resounding.
Turning around, I saw Xie Mubai walking slowly towards me wearing a black cloak.
The bright sunshine softly shone on his tall figure. At this moment, he seemed radiant and majestic.
Everyone felt their knees go weak and they couldn't help but kneel down and worship him.
As soon as she saw him, Da Niuniang's dull eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen a savior.
"My Lord!" She fell to her knees with a plop, bursting into tears. "I heard that 'Master Chu' was injured. I want to go in and take a look."
"Please, just let me in and take a look, just one look!"
The more she acted like this, the more contempt people showed towards her.
In the Wei Dynasty, it was not uncommon for a widow to remarry, but the problem was that the man she remarried was the notorious Chu Wei!
Yes, Chu Wei has done some good things in recent months.
But no one can deny that the corrupt official who used to plunder the people's wealth was not him!
"What kind of vision!"
"That's right. She's the wife of an official, but I never thought she could be such a shameless woman."
"Seeing how sad she is crying, maybe this woman is just like Mrs. Feng San, and has been having an affair with Chu Wei for a long time. She doesn't mind the dirt, and she's not afraid of getting sick!"
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
Hearing those harsh words, Big Girl's Mother became more and more heartbroken.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly and winked at Xie Murong.
Xie Murong understood and hurried forward to help Da Niuniang up.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry first. Why did 'Master Chu' get injured suddenly?" Xie Mubai asked coldly with a gloomy face.
The big girl's mother had no idea and just shook her head.
She was washing rice in the porridge shed at the time. When she heard that "Master Chu" was seriously injured, she was so scared that she dropped the work in her hands and ran over here.
When she arrived, she only saw Helian Changjun's hateful face and the two closed doors.
Seeing her shake her head, Xie Mubai raised his eyes and looked at Helian Changjun.
He and Wang Qi are jointly responsible for the hardening of the city's roads, so perhaps he knows something.
"I wasn't here at the time!" Seeing Xie Mubai looking at him, Helian Changjun quickly explained, "I was working in the west when I suddenly heard someone screaming over here."
"When I rushed over, I saw 'Master Chu' buried under a pile of rubble. I had to dig him out and carry him aside."
"I heard from the people working nearby that a cart carrying stones suddenly overturned and crushed him underneath."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xie Mubai looked around.
Sure enough, not far away there was a horse-drawn carriage carrying stones lying on its side, with countless pieces of gravel scattered all over the ground.
The gravel was stained with blood, and one could easily imagine the tragic scene at that time.
However, this road was newly built and very flat, and the carriage was not old, so it should not have overturned.
He thought about it and then walked forward.
Looking down, I saw that the axle of the carriage had been completely broken.
However, the fracture surface is extremely smooth, and it is obvious that it is man-made.
Xie Mubai looked at it, and his dark pupils suddenly tightened.
Obviously, someone wants to harm Wang Qi!
Who did it?
Although Chu Wei had a bad reputation, he was still an official appointed by the imperial court.
Assassinating an imperial official is a capital crime punishable by death!
The people of Lanyang City?
No, that's absolutely impossible!
Chu Wei did all kinds of evil in the past, but didn't they endure it for so many years?
The third prince?
Recently, "Chu Wei" has been frequently helping him with things, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the Third Prince?
This also seems impossible.
Now the Third Prince is not as favored by the Dog Emperor as before, and the Crown Prince’s popularity in the court is getting louder and louder. If Chu Wei dies, he cannot guarantee that the Dog Emperor will hand Lanyang City back to his people!
Rather than handing over Lanyang City to others, it is better to keep this "Chu Wei" who doesn't seem to be so honest.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, and the scene was dead silent.
Everyone just stood there quietly, no one said a word.
The sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun became dimmer and dimmer.
Shen Wan had been in the house for most of the day, but the tightly closed wooden door still showed no sign of opening.
Big Girl's mother couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward like crazy.
"Sister-in-law, don't do this, you will disturb Fifth Sister-in-law!" In a hurry, Xie Murong grabbed her.
Big Girl's eyes were red and she burst into tears: "There is no hope!"
"Young Madam's medical skills are so high, but she hasn't come out for so long, there must be no hope!"
"I don't care, I want to see him one last time!"
Her feelings towards Wang Qi are complicated.
Although she is the eldest sister-in-law, she is about the same age as Wang Qi, only in her twenties.
Ever since Wang Da's death, Wang Qi has been taking care of the mother and daughter without any regrets.
Chang'e has loved young men since ancient times.
How could Da Niuniang not be a little moved when faced with the suave Wang Qi?
It’s just that Wang Qi is so outstanding that there are countless noble ladies who dream of marrying him.
But what does she have?
All she had was the awkward identity of a widowed sister-in-law and a daughter who needed care.
Such a huge gap made her hide her feelings deep in her heart.
But after learning about Wang Qi's feelings, Da Niuniang became scared.
Even if they were in love with each other, she didn't dare to accept this relationship.
She knew clearly that she was not worthy of him.
Wang Qi is a phoenix, and he will soar into the sky sooner or later.
But I will only become a stumbling block on his road to success.
But now he is dying, what is there for me to worry about?
Looking at the tear marks on Da Niuniang's face, Xie Murong's eyes became moist.
Although she didn't have any good feelings towards Chu Wei, she would regret it for the rest of her life if she couldn't even see her lover for the last time.
Thinking of this, Xie Murong let go of his hand.
Seeing this, Da Niuniang rushed to the door.
Just as he was about to break in, he heard a creaking sound, and the half-worn wooden door slowly opened, and a ray of dim candlelight poured out from the room.
Looking up, I saw Shen Wan holding the wooden door, standing there weakly.
Her face was pale and her smooth forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
Looking at that pale face, Da Niuniang felt as if her heart was wrapped in ice and falling straight into the endless abyss.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed in past Shen Wan.
The light in the room was very dim, with only a kerosene lamp flickering lonely in the darkness.
By the dim candlelight, she clearly saw Wang Qi lying motionless on a wooden bed.
His face was pale, and the blood had already soaked the white gauze on his head, making him look extremely shocking.
Da Niuniang felt a lump in her throat and immediately rushed to the bed.
"Don't touch him!" Shen Wan frowned slightly, her voice very weak.
