Upon seeing this scene, the Xie family immediately descended into chaos.
The presence of bows and arrows in the shadows indicates danger in this place.
Dozens of people were thrown into chaos, each trying to find a safe place to hide.
He was afraid that more arrows would come from afar and hurt him.
Gu Jiangli had no time to care about any of that.
All she knew was that the lotus flower was injured!
The arrow pierced her bone with great force, and she was seriously injured!
Gu Jiangli ran wildly and soon saw the lotus flower tied to the tree.
An arrow was stuck in her left shoulder, and blood was flowing down her arm.
Lotus couldn't speak because her mouth was gagged.
"Lotus!" Gu Jiangli's steps became even more anxious upon seeing this.
But when Lotus saw her, she didn't feel relieved at all; instead, she became even more anxious.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and tears streamed down her face.
Despite having her mouth gagged, she still struggled with all her might to speak, making incessant "ooh ooh ooh" sounds.
As she struggled, the wound bled more and more.
Gu Jiangli rushed to Hehua's side without hesitation, immediately removing the rag from her mouth and then untying her.
But the first words Lotus spoke sent a chill down her spine.
"It's my mother! Her target is the young master!"
Gu Jiangli paused in untying the rope, and subconsciously turned around.
The Xie family members scattered and found safe places to hide.
The wet nurse who should have been holding Wen An was now lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.

It was as if they had already grasped the key that could manipulate all the power in the world.
Xie Shiyan had already clenched his fists, unleashing boundless killing intent.
Gu Jiangli stared at the woman for a moment, then his eyes turned cold and unpredictable.
She turned around slowly and continued to untie the ropes from Hehua, helping the injured Hehua to sit down on the ground.
Lotus wept bitterly, her eyes filled with self-reproach.
"Miss...I'm sorry, it's me..."
Gu Jiangli interrupted her, "No need to say more."
Her tone was calm, and her expression was cold, making it impossible to sense that she was angry.
The lotus flowers stopped blooming immediately.
After saying this, Gu Jiangli stood up again and stood side by side with Xie Shiyan, looking once more at Yue Qiao'e outside the woods.
"If you're going to use Wen An to blackmail me, you'd better think of a less-than-pleasant way to die."
