"Miss, I have caught the murderer. It's all my fault. I let my guard down. Otherwise, Fuqiu wouldn't have become like this." Yue Xue walked in and said with her head down.
Qibao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Lock him up. I will personally avenge Fuqiu later."
"Yes, Miss!" Yue Xue said with a fist salute.
Doctor Li said, "We should let Miss Fuqiu get some more sleep. After all, she has lost too much blood and is a little lethargic."
Wang said, "Yes, let Fuqiu have a good sleep! Health is the most important thing. Fuqiu, tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you myself."
Fuqiu smiled weakly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm happy with anything you eat, but how can I let you cook for me? Wouldn't that be too much of a burden for me?"
Wang took Fuqiu's hand distressedly and said, "Fuqiu, I want to thank you. If you hadn't blocked the knife for Die'er, Die'er would be the one injured now!"
"Fuqiu, I... I'm sorry! I will try my best to heal your face, no matter how much it costs. I don't know how I can thank you now!" Wen Die said, holding Fuqiu's other hand tightly.
She hadn't expected that at that critical moment, Fuqiu would actually risk her life to stand in front of her. The knife should have landed on her face...
Fuqiu smiled and said, "Madam, such a beautiful face, if she got hurt, wouldn't that be such a shame? Fuqiu doesn't care, as long as Madam is fine. I'm willing to do this. Madam, don't blame yourself. I'll be fine soon."
"Fuqiu..." Wen Die's eyes were blurred with tears again when she heard this. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and unable to utter a word.
Fuqiu is also a girl! What girl doesn't cherish her own face? At this time, she was lying on the bed with a pale face. Her face was so badly injured, but she could still smile and comfort herself...
Qibao said, "Sister Die'er, Grandma, let Fuqiu sleep for a while. Everyone please don't disturb her sleep."
Wang wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, Qibao is right. Fuqiu, you should have a good rest. I made your favorite food for lunch. You lost so much blood, you need to replenish it."
Fuqiu smiled and nodded.
After everyone left, Qibao and Fuqiu were the only ones left in the room.
"Miss... don't worry about Fuqiu." Fuqiu called Qibao with a smile.
Qibao sat on the edge of the bed, his face stern as he said, "Fuqiu, I will avenge you. I will never let go of anyone who hurt you."
Fuqiu nodded, feeling deeply moved, and said, "Thank you, Miss."
Qibao looked at Fuqiu's pale face, his expression softened, and asked, "Why would you use your body to block the knife?"
Fuqiu shook her head and said, "I don't know. Fuqiu felt she had to do this because the eldest young master's wife was his favorite. Fuqiu didn't want to make the eldest young master sad, nor did she want such a good wife to come to any harm. Fuqiu's life was worthless, and I was content with the care of everyone in my family. I don't care if my face is ruined. Anyway, I never want to get married. I just want to stay by the young lady's side and serve her."
Qibao hadn't expected Fuqiu to be so resolute. With some heartache, he said, "Fuqiu, your life is not worth living. In my heart, I already regard you as my own family. I know that you have served me wholeheartedly over the past few years. I'll tell you in secret! I, your young lady, am very capable. I have a way to help you heal the wound on your face!"
Fuqiu's eyes lit up, and she nodded gently, saying, "Of course, Fuqiu knows that Miss is very capable, and I believe everything Miss says."
Qibao nodded, tucked the quilt in for her, and said, "Close your eyes and go to sleep!"
Fuqiu obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while. It seemed that she was really tired.
Looking at the rolled up skin on Fuqiu's face, Qibao's eyes grew darker and darker. He slowly stood up with a cold look in his eyes. After walking out of the room, he gently closed the door.
"Yuexue!" Qibao called out coldly.
"It was all my fault for being careless. I failed to protect the Madam and Miss Fuqiu. Please punish me, young lady!" Yue Xue knelt in front of Qibao and said with her head down.
The remaining eleven guards were watching this scene with their hearts pounding.
They had never seen the young lady in such a way at this moment. Her aura was so strong that they wanted to say something for her, but they didn't dare to open their mouths.
"Where are the people?" Qibao asked.
"Miss, the man has been locked up in the woodshed, awaiting your decision," Yue Xue said.
"Take them both to the front hall!" Qibao said, and took the lead to walk towards the main hall.
"Brother Yueyang, the young lady is in such a good state that I dare not say anything. Will Sister Yuexue be punished?" Yuewu said in a low voice.
Yue Yang said, "It shouldn't happen. No one expected something like this to happen. Yue Xue was far away at the time, and it was too late to save her."
The eleven people looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
"Let's go and take a look behind the lady." Yueyang said this and left.
The remaining ten people also hurried to catch up.
At this time, all the Xu family members, young and old, were sitting in the main hall, with serious expressions on their faces.
Seeing Qibao coming, Zhang immediately asked, "Qibao, how is Fuqiu?"
Qibao said, "She's already asleep."
"That Fuqiu's face..." Before Zhang could finish her words, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and burst into tears.
She saw the gleaming knife slashing towards Wendie's face, and she almost collapsed to the ground. At the critical moment, Fuqiu stood in front of Wendie. That resolute face is still clearly imprinted in her mind and cannot be erased.
"Aunt, don't worry. I can heal Fuqiu's face and there will definitely be no scars left on it." Qibao comforted her.
Zhang nodded, she knew Qibao's abilities.
Wen Yuan's face looked extremely gloomy from beginning to end. If it weren't for Fuqiu, the one who was injured might have been his sister.
"Miss, you're here!" Yue Xue was holding a hemp rope in her hand, and at the other end was tied a girl who was about ten years old and dressed as a maid.
"Miss, this person is the maidservant beside Lu Qianzhi!" Yue Xue said with a fist salute.
The maid had kept her head down since she came in, her expression normal.
The Xu family looked at the maid with hatred etched in their teeth.
"You may look young, but you have such a vicious heart. How did Die'er offend you? Why do you want to ruin her appearance?" Wang shouted.
Qibao slowly walked up to the maid and asked, "Did your mistress ask you to do this?"
The maid kept her head down and refused to say a word.
Qibao smiled faintly and said, "I know everything, including everything that happened to your young lady that night!"
The maid then raised her head, her eyes flashing, and she stammered, "What...what are you talking about? I...don't know."
Qibao smiled slowly and said, "You'll find out in a moment! I think your young lady doesn't want others to know what happened that night, right? Of course, she was having an affair with a strange man, and the truth will eventually come out!"
