Chapter 90 Why are you pretending?
Hong Luo still didn't understand why Ye Lanzhou wasn't panicking at this hour. So she called her, "Master?"
Ye Lanzhou turned around and asked Hong Luo: "Dagger!"
Her eyes were fixed on Hong Luo's waist. There was a thin callus on Hong Luo's palm. She knew that Hong Luo was good at martial arts and must have a weapon on him.
Hong Luo responded, and although he didn't understand why, he still handed over the dagger hidden at his waist.
Ye Lanzhou took the dagger, made up her mind, and slashed her thigh with the knife. The blood immediately dyed her clothes red. In the darkness, it was hard to see how much blood was flowing, but she could hear the blood dripping from the corner of her clothes to the ground, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silence.
There was silence for a moment between the two people in the room.
It took a while for Hong Luo to come back to her senses. She was shocked by Ye Lanzhou and stared blankly at her leg which was bleeding continuously. Ye Lanzhou just gasped and then sat on the nearest stool, holding the inside of her thigh and asked Hong Luo to help take out the medicine box from the cabinet.
Hong Luo knew Ye Lanzhou was no ordinary person, but she hadn't expected her to be so ruthless. She changed her bloodstained clothes, then grabbed her medicine box and began bandaging herself, reminding him, "Help me get rid of these dirty clothes. Don't forget this time."
She said this to Hong Luo, but more so to herself. Today's negligence nearly led to disaster. Fortunately, Ye Lingchuan's servants were not very clever, which gave her a chance to make amends. I'm afraid she won't be so lucky tomorrow.
"When Ye Zhixing questioned me later, he said that the bloodstains were from an injury on his leg."
As she spoke, she had already bandaged herself and tied a neat knot at the end.
Hong Luo was right. The little maid was a chatterbox. She was the one who leaked her master's plan, so she was not surprised at all when Ye Lingchuan brought Ye Zhixing to her the next day.
Seeing Ye Lingchuan was so complacent, he had no idea that his plan had been leaked.
The maid behind her pushed her wheelchair and she said, "Father, Fourth Sister has had her period. Her maid in the courtyard saw her throw out these bloody panties."
As soon as he finished speaking, the maid behind him took out the underwear and handed it to Ye Zhixing.
Ye Zhixing was supposed to be on duty at the Imperial Hospital that morning, but unexpectedly, he was tripped up by family matters. Madam Ye's previous incident had already been troubling him enough, and now, with Ye Lanzhou's troubles, he looked at Ye Lanzhou with a cold gaze. He had never liked this child. Even when Madam Ye passed away, she had said that this child was an unlucky person, and that anyone who got involved with him wouldn't necessarily have a good ending.
Old Lady Ye believed in ghosts and gods for most of her life. As a doctor, Ye Zhixing naturally did not believe in such nonsense. However, on the night Ye Lanzhou married into the palace, Emperor Yinning suddenly died, which made it hard for people not to believe what Old Lady Ye said.
Ye Lanzhou knelt down immediately after hearing this, just like when she was bullied by Ye Qingshang as a child. She said, "Father, please understand. I was just injured. It was accidentally stained on my clothes. It's not my period."
Ye Qingshang sneered: "Where are you hurt? Why did it get on your underwear?"
"Second sister, I'm injured on the inside of my thigh. I accidentally fell a few days ago and hurt my leg."
Ye Qingshang was still aggressive, "Why are you pretending? Show us your wound."
