Chapter 77 Si Han's Life Hangs in the Balance
Old Madam Su opened her eyes numbly, her pale lips moving slightly.
"Hasn't she come out yet?"
Butler Su couldn't bear to look and swayed precariously, saying, "He didn't come out."
It has been a day and a night.
The old lady has been kneeling for a day and a night, begging Sihe to come out and see the Fifth Princess.
But who knew?
She claimed she was unwell, locked her door, and no one could do anything about it.
The old lady knelt at her door for a day and a night.
The servants, whom we hadn't seen yesterday, were now appearing in twos and threes at the courtyard gate.
They were pointing inside, seemingly saying something.
Butler Su strode over to shoo them away, saying, "What are you looking at here for? Don't you have any work to do? Get out of here."
The old lady is still kneeling.
How could I let these servants see me?
One of the old women hesitated for a moment before asking, "Steward, the old lady hasn't been kneeling here all night, has she?"
They remembered yesterday that after the Fifth Princess gave the order to the Old Madam, the Old Madam came to find the Madam.
As a result, the lady arrived at the front hall shortly after, but the old lady never appeared.
"Don't talk nonsense," Butler Su scolded in a low voice. "Is the princess still here?"
A whole day and night has passed, how can the princess wait any longer?
If the princess dares to wait so long, the old lady's head is surely in danger.
"The princess saw the madam yesterday afternoon and then left. Didn't anyone inform you?" The old woman's eyes were clear.
"What did you say!" Butler Su couldn't help but raise his voice.
"The old lady just left yesterday, and the lady arrived. The princess gave her a reward and announced to the whole household that from now on the lady is under her protection and no one is allowed to disobey her."
"The lady was so pleased that she let us go back and rest for half a day."
"By the way, after Madam received the gifts, she took Miss Qingbao out, saying she was going back to the Si family and told us not to come to her courtyard..."
After hearing all of this...
Butler Su's face darkened slightly, sensing that something terrible was about to happen.
Behind him.
Madam Su's eyes were bloodshot and her whole body was stiff.
She was so angry that she coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Madam! Quickly, fetch a doctor!!"
*
The Si family.
The doctor sighed softly, "Two of his ribs were broken. The robber must have used some kind of weapon; it was absolutely vicious."
Si Yao stood to the side with a dark expression.
Mrs. Si said anxiously, "It wasn't a weapon that caused the accident, it was..."
"You need to tell me what it is so I can prescribe the right treatment," the doctor pressed.
Madam Si closed her eyes and sighed, "It was his sister who lifted it with her head."
"With his head? He broke the ribs? Was he planning to commit suicide with the patient's chest?" the doctor wondered.
Si Yao dared not speak.
Because she really intended to commit suicide by hitting her head against a pillar, so that at least her older brother could see her in pain and feel sorry for her.
Unexpectedly, her older brother also cared deeply for her, and instinctively shielded her with his own body...
Madam Si couldn't bear to look and said to the doctor, "Hurry and save him."
The doctor muttered to himself as he began to treat the person.
"It's amazing that someone can break ribs with their head."
“I have to write this into ‘The Complete Book of Suicide’ to warn people not to commit suicide by hitting someone’s ribs, because it will not succeed and will only kill the person being hit.”
"This trip was worthwhile because of what happened."
"Oh dear, this is terrible. The old wound hasn't healed and a new one has appeared. This unlucky kid, anyone who didn't know better would think he'd run into a jinx..."
...
The doctor we invited this time is a chatterbox.
Si Yao couldn't listen anymore and said with a gloomy face, "Doctor, you're being long-winded."
The doctor simply drew the curtain, blocking their view.
And then he scoffed, "Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?!"
He was saving people, not hurting them.
What's wrong with saying a few more words?
Si Yao's chest heaved violently.
soon.
Then Old Madam Si arrived with her entourage.
"What happened? How could someone hurt me at home?"
Madam Si looked flustered and quickly told Si Yao to hide.
But she had been hit hard yesterday and could barely walk. Then Si Han pushed her, and her buttocks hit the ground again.
She was also suffering double the injury.
How can you walk that fast?
During the scuffle.
Si Yao lost her balance again and fell straight to the ground.
It looks like a toad.
Before her eyes appeared a pair of light-colored patterned boots and a pale-colored skirt. Si Yao looked up, following the skirt's movement.
He gave his superior a mocking look.
She suddenly became furious, and after being helped up, she pointed at Si He and started cursing.
"Sihe, you're the one who ruined me!"
"Weren't you expelled from the Si family? What are you doing here? Is Han'er's injury related to you?!"
Madam Si immediately spoke with a cold face, her brows furrowed with a hint of sternness.
Madam Si tried to smooth things over, "It has nothing to do with Yao'er, I just missed her so I brought her in..."
“How can it be nothing?” The doctor, who was getting medicine from his medicine box, added quietly, “You were the one who said just now that the patient hit her head.”
Amidst the silence as everyone stared at him, the doctor continued, "The patient had two broken ribs."
These words exploded in the minds of everyone in the Si family.
Before Si Yao could even ask for justice...
Snap—
A crisp slap rang out, and Granny Gui, who was beside Madam Si, withdrew her hand and returned to Madam Si's side.
"How dare you hit me!" Si Yao covered her face, her expression full of anger.
Madam Si slammed her cane down. "I'll hit you whenever I want. Do I need to pick a day? You're an outsider, yet you dare to come into our Si family and even injure the eldest young master of the Si family! Granny Gui."
"This old servant is here!"
"Send someone to report this to the authorities and have her arrested!"
"yes."
Si Yao gritted her teeth, "No! You have to let me explain!"
"If she doesn't listen, take her to the authorities." Old Madam Si waved her hand, and two servants immediately came forward to grab Si Yao.
Si Yao was furious.
He originally wanted to teach them a lesson with his martial arts, but his injuries hadn't healed and he could barely walk steadily.
They could only be suppressed by others.
With red eyes, she cried out to Madam Si, "Mother, save me!"
Madam Si stood in front of Si Yao and said to the old lady,
“Mother-in-law, Yao’er didn’t do it on purpose. It was all because of Sihe’s instigation.”
"He'er? Did you send Si Yao to beat up your older brother?" Old Madam Si turned to ask Si He.
Si He shook her head, "My elder brother didn't do anything. I saved the princess, but Si Yao insisted that he gave me the credit, so she got angry and hit him..."
"I'll be your witness!" Qingbao jumped up and raised her little hand, like a good little girl.
After listening, Madam Si nodded, "Then it's not your fault."
"Guards, arrest him and take him to the authorities."
"I disagree!" Madam Si insisted, trying to stop her.
Madam Si waved her hand, "Take them all to the authorities."
Both mother and daughter were taken away.
The doctor emerged from behind the curtain with a worried expression. "Oh dear, this bone is broken, but it's stuck in my lung. If I move it, it might cause a massive hemorrhage."
"Madam, please make the decision: should we save her or not?"
Si Han's life hangs in the balance!
