Chapter 220
"Lord Li has come to the manor too?" Xu Heming was surprised to find that Li Tianyou's affairs were also involved here.
"That day, Lord Li originally intended to come to the Prince's Mansion to ask if the old Princess had sent a message back home. He never expected to find out that the old Princess had encountered an accident. Because of this, Lord Li and this old servant were accused by Miss Zheng of being the murderers who poisoned her, and they were almost arrested."
Liu Ming explained everything in detail.
He wasn't complaining; he was simply explaining the situation to the prince.
Moreover, this matter was not something he fabricated out of thin air.
"What a scoundrel Zheng Qiaoshu! Who gave her the audacity?" Xu Heming was furious, not expecting such a thing to have happened.
On the other side, after Li Tianyou finished his court session and bid farewell to his colleagues, he planned to return to Xiliu Lane.
Not long after the carriage passed, a loud 'bang' was heard.
"Zhou Tong, what's going on?" Li Tianyou asked, frowning.
"Master, someone has crashed into our carriage!" Zhou Tong said, and quickly went to check on the person who had crashed into it.
He thought to himself, "The road is so wide, why did this girl have to run into their carriage?"
"Young lady, why aren't you watching where you're going?" Zhou Tong asked the girl, somewhat exasperated.
Xu Jinan bit her lip, looking at Zhou Tong as if tears were about to fall.
"You! Your carriage hit someone, and you're criticizing the young lady?"
Soon, someone couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Xu Jinan.
After all, Xu Jinan looks so pitiful now, who wouldn't feel sorry for him?
"She clearly ran into our carriage herself. The road is so wide, why didn't she give way when she saw the carriage?" Zhou Tong was very angry. Does it mean that whoever is weaker is right?
He saw it all; the girl bumped into him on her own.
"I saw it too. The carriage wasn't going fast, so the girl had plenty of time to avoid it," someone in the know quickly added, helping Zhou Tong out.
"Zhou Tong, what's going on?" Hearing the chatter outside, Li Tianyou frowned and lifted the carriage curtain to ask.
"Master, it's alright, this man just bumped into our carriage." Zhou Tong quickly ran up to Li Tianyou and pointed at Xu Jin'an.
Xu Jinan looked at Li Tianyou with red eyes, appearing as if he was about to cry.
Li Tianyou looked at the little girl, who was about the same age as Li Zhiwei, and sighed. He then said to Zhou Tong, "Take this girl to a nearby clinic."
In any case, since it was their carriage that hit someone, they should have a doctor check if they are alright.
"This old man is truly reasonable."
"Girl, you should go and take a look right away."
The crowd spoke to Xu Jinan.
Although Zhou Tong was angry, since the master had already spoken, he sent Xu Jin'an to the nearby Huichuntang.
The doctor carefully examined Xu Jinan.
Xu Jin'an was in a state of utter confusion. She knew she was alright, but her mother had told her to find a way to go back with Lord Li, and she couldn't think of any other way, so she went and rammed his carriage.
Just now, she saw Li Tianyou's appearance, and her heart was pounding. Her mother said that she was going to marry Lord Li.
The thought of having to serve Li Tianyou in the future made Xu Jinan's face turn red again.
"Does this young lady feel any pain anywhere?" the doctor asked, looking at Xu Jin'an, whose face was flushed.
Xu Jinan shook his head.
"It's nothing," the doctor sighed and said to Zhou Tong, who was standing beside him.
"Zhou Tong, give her some silver, let's go back," Li Tianyou sighed and said.
