Chapter 427 Accident
Li Yiqiu tried frantically to control her body, but she couldn't keep steady, and the sharp tip of the knife went towards Zhong Nianyao's chest.
This scene frightened everyone present. It happened so fast that no one could react in time and could only watch it happen.
Even some of the less courageous ladies covered their eyes with their hands, fearing that they would see the bloody scene that was about to happen.
Li Yiqiu's face was full of panic, but where no one could see, a hint of excitement and madness flashed in her eyes.
At the critical moment, Lu Yichen turned around, hugged Zhong Nianyao, and dodged to the side. Although he dodged quickly, his arm was still scratched by his clothes and cut his skin. Although the bright red blood was not obvious, it still made the black suit wet.
Li Yiqiu fell to the ground, the knife in her hand swung forward. She immediately stood up and nervously walked to Zhong Nianyao's side. When she saw Lu Yichen's injured arm, her face changed drastically and she apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I tripped and fell. I-"
"Don't say so much for now." Zhong Mingyu hurried forward and pulled Li Yiqiu away. "Hurry and get the family doctor over!"
Because of this sudden change, this birthday party was overshadowed.
After the initial panic, everyone came to their senses.
Mr. Zhong immediately asked someone to call the family doctor over.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao did not stay in the hall, but went directly to the side hall.
Lu Yichen's wound had been pressed with a white towel, but the towel had also been stained red, which looked a bit shocking.
Besides the two of them, Zhong Mingyu was also waiting in the side hall. The anxiety on his face was clearly visible. He didn't even sit down, but paced back and forth, occasionally glancing outside to see if the doctor had arrived.
Since Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao didn't say anything, he was even more afraid to speak.
Such a silent atmosphere makes people feel a little suffocated.
The hall had returned to its earlier bustle. However, this was only superficial. Although it was just an accident, it still affected everyone's mood. Especially since the person injured this time was none other than the Third Master of the Lu family.
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong both wanted to check on Lu Yichen's injuries, but as they were the host family and Mr. Zhong was even the protagonist of the day, they couldn't leave.
So, despite being worried, I had no choice but to stay in the hall.
As for Li Yiqiu, the person involved in this accident, she was no longer in the hall. She had returned to her room.
In the side hall——
The family doctor arrived as quickly as possible and bandaged Lu Yichen's wound.
Seeing the wound on Lu Yichen's arm, which had almost turned the skin inside out, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown, with a hint of heartache in her eyes. At the same time, she was in a bad mood, which made the air pressure around her become a little low.
Because of the low pressure emanating from Zhong Nian Yao, the doctor became very cautious when treating the wound, fearing that he might accidentally hurt Mr. Lu.
Zhong Mingyu, standing by, felt his head spin. He knew Lu Yichen was injured, but he hadn't expected it to be so severe. He couldn't imagine how the Lu family would react if they knew Third Master Lu was injured at the Zhong family's place. Especially since the one who injured Third Master Lu this time was his wife.
Although it was just an accident, he still felt uneasy.
After Lu Yichen was bandaged, the doctor gave him a tetanus injection for safety reasons and gave him instructions for follow-up care before leaving.
Zhong Mingyu, who had been watching from the side, had his heart hanging in the air, unable to settle down.
"Uncle, I'll just stay here with Achen to rest for a while." Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Mingyu and said with a smile, "You should go back to the hall first! Grandpa's birthday party is still going on, and you should go and help out."
Zhong Mingyu looked at Zhong Nianyao, who had a smile on her face, but he couldn't tell any attitude from her expression.
But now that Zhong Nian Yao has spoken, he feels embarrassed to stay here any longer.
"Then I'll go out first." Zhong Mingyu could only smile and said, "Also, Nian Yao, your second aunt is-"
"Second uncle!"
Before Zhong Mingyu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao. "Let's talk about Second Aunt later! There are still many guests outside! Grandpa and grandma are old and there will be times when they can't do things well. As a son, you should go and help them right away."
Zhong Nianyao's attitude was very firm, and it seemed that she didn't want to continue discussing this matter.
Zhong Mingyu had no choice but to leave in a hurry after explaining a few things.
After Zhong Mingyu left, only Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were left in the side hall.
"Why are you doing this?" Zhong Nianyao picked up Lu Yichen's injured hand and said helplessly, "You know I can get away with it myself."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's distressed expression, Lu Yichen was very pleased. He did not pull his hand back, but just chuckled and said, "At that time, the body's movements were faster than the brain."
Zhong Nianyao sighed and continued, "Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the Chinese medicine store to buy some herbs and personally mix some ointment for you. By then, your wound will definitely heal within three days."
She is still very confident in her abilities.
Lu Yichen nodded, then continued with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhong Nianyao glared at him unhappily, "You're already injured, and you're still so talkative."
Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nian Yao, smiled, and said nothing.
Zhong Nianyao looked at the white gauze on Lu Yichen's wrist, then raised her head, her face showing a hint of suspicion. "Tell me, what's going on with this Second Aunt of mine?"
She was not a fool, so naturally she could not fail to see that this was not an accident at all, Li Yiqiu did it on purpose.
However, she truly couldn't understand. She and Li Yiqiu had no grudges, no past or present. She had even saved Li Yiqiu and her child's life before. If she hadn't intervened then, Li Yiqiu's child would have been aborted long ago. Furthermore, even if Li Yiqiu hadn't died, she would have been severely injured.
