Chen Shi was dragged away by the guards like garbage.
The servants who had gathered near the reception room to gossip now dispersed with a tactful look.
Zhang You watched the crowd disperse and the surroundings gradually became quiet.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
She waited at the door of the reception room until Qiao Si came out.
As soon as Qiao Si came out, he saw Zhang You’s hands were wrapped like dumplings.
She frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with your hand?"
Just now, through the window in the house, she only saw Zhang You looking at the situation inside, but she didn't see clearly that she was injured.
She didn't expect that the person she sent to protect Qiao Nai would be so seriously injured.
"I was ordered to go find my cousin, but I saw several people holding daggers and trying to hurt her. I was so eager to save them that I accidentally got hurt. My cousin was also injured, but fortunately Qiuyue and her men arrived in time and rescued her. Now the Second Miss is taking care of her there."
Zhang You expressed these things in a concise and clear manner.
"Is your hand okay?"
A gust of wind blew the hair across Zhang You's forehead, covering her eyes and making her unable to see Qiao Si's expression clearly for a moment.
Zhang You was somewhat moved.
Qiao Si actually cares about a maid.
Zhang You put on a smile and said, "My lord, I've already applied medicine, but I need to rest for a month to fully recover."
"Take good care of your injuries for the next month. If you need anything, tell Jingzhu. I still have some medicine that Qiao Lanyin gave me. I'll have Hongmei give it to you when we get back."
Although Qiao Si sometimes looks scary and even ruthless in her dealings, she is really good to her own people, and it is actually not bad for her to stay here.
"Thank you, Princess."
The smile on Zhang You's face was somewhat sincere.
Qiao Si nodded and said, "Can we go?"
"ah?"
Zhang You was confused by her sudden change of topic.
"Since they dared to do such a thing, they should be prepared to face retaliation a thousandfold. Why don't you go with us and see what happens to them?"
Qiao Si spoke indifferently with a cold and arrogant look on his face.
These words should have made people feel cold all over, but now they sound somewhat...satisfactory?
Zhang You felt that she seemed to have been infected by Qiao Si.
And this feeling of "bullying others by taking advantage of one's power" is actually quite good.
"Okay, Princess."
Qiao Si walked in front, exuding an aura that kept strangers away. Zhang You followed behind her and actually found her back pleasing to the eye.
They went to Lanting Courtyard together.
When Chunhua, Qiuyue and the others saw her come back, they wanted to pull her aside and ask her questions, but when they saw that she was being questioned by Qiao Si, they didn't dare to disturb her.
Now that she was back in the team, they immediately surrounded her and whispered about her injuries, fearing that her wounds would not be properly treated and would leave a root of the disease.
"It's okay, I've bandaged it all."
"Your left hand was pierced by broken porcelain shards. Have you cleaned them up? If you don't clean them up, your left hand will be ruined."
Qiuyue carefully held up her left hand, as if she wanted to open it and check it herself.
"It's really okay now. Lanxiang has helped me deal with it and cleaned it all up."
Qiuyue was still staring at her with some concern. Zhang You had no choice but to say, "How about you come over next time when we change the dressing? Just to see if it's done properly?"
After hearing this, Qiuyue felt a little relieved.
Qiuyue usually looks like a calm person who doesn't seem to care much about people or things, but after this incident, Zhang You discovered that she was just not good at expressing herself.
He is obviously a good person who repays kindness.
Unexpectedly, what she said came true, giving her the opportunity to repay the kindness of the meal.
Lanting Courtyard.
There were several guards guarding the gate in the yard, blocking the way very tightly and not letting any outsiders in.
Qiao Nai had just taken his medicine and gone to bed, while Qiao Er and Qiao Da were sitting in the pavilion outside.
Those who committed the crime were all forced to kneel down.
Judging from the atmosphere, it seems a bit serious.
Qiao Si walked in with a cold face, and he didn't look at the two of them, especially Qiao Da, with any good expression.
Zhang You and the others were waiting outside the pavilion, only Jing Zhu followed Qiao Si.
"Where were you talking about?"
As soon as Qiao Si opened his mouth, he seemed to take the lead.
"We've already investigated. They were instigated by people arranged by Chen Shi, and then..."
Qiao Er glanced at Qiao Da, and seeing his indifferent and dissolute look, he continued talking.
"Besides, out of jealousy and love, they conspired to kill my cousin while she was away from the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Si turned and looked at Qiao Da.
An expression that said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Qiao Da fanned himself coquettishly. Seeing Qiao Si and Qiao Er staring at him, he pretended to be surprised as if he had just noticed.
"What are you looking at me for, my sisters? Just do with them as you wish. I won't beg for mercy on their behalf."
The concubines kneeling below became flustered upon hearing this.
"My dear husband, what are you talking about? Don't you want us anymore? I just love you so much!"
"Miss, please spare me, sir, please spare me. We were all instigated. We didn't mean it."
"Please spare me, I am only following your orders, I have no choice."
The veiled woman was lying next to them. Her veil had long since fallen somewhere and there were two obvious scratches on her face, which looked a bit hideous.
The wounds on her body were not treated and she was bleeding a lot. She lay there, looking dying.
But after hearing Qiao Da's ruthless words, she struggled, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face.
She cried out unwillingly, "Qiao Lang! Have you ever loved me? Why are you so heartless! I did it for you! It's you who changed your heart! It's you who falls in love with every girl you meet! I've been with you since I was fifteen, how could you treat me like this!"
Qiao Da's face turned cold when he heard this. "You did something like this, and you still expect me to save you?"
When the woman heard this, she seemed to be crazy.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha, Qiao Zhaoshu, you only love beautiful women, you are cold-blooded and heartless! Ahem... I curse you, you will never get the person you love! Ahem... Puff!"
She coughed violently and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Hehehe... I really should... kill them all..."
She spoke intermittently, taking a long breath, as if she would die at any moment.
"Jinglan."
Qiao Er gestured softly, and Jinglan walked over to her, pried open her mouth, and fed her a pill.
She had one foot on the verge of death, but now her breathing has stabilized.
Her eyes widened, as if she guessed what was about to greet her, and she collapsed.
"Kill me! Just kill me if you dare! Aaaaaaaaaah!"
She suddenly curled up in pain, as if something was inside her body.
The people kneeling beside her were so terrified when they saw this scene that they wanted to stay away from her.
"Second Miss, please spare me! Second Miss, please spare me!"
They all kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Huh? What happened? Why are they so scared all of a sudden?"
Chunhua stood next to Zhang You and asked in a low voice with confusion.
