Yining no longer thought too much about it. She couldn't stay here.
It turned out that when she died, she really wanted to know why Lu Jiaxue killed her, and even thought about questioning him in person. But over the years, seeing his indifference to her ranking and others, and never mentioning her, the hatred and love in her heart had long faded. She just wanted to stay away from him and never have any contact with this person for the rest of her life.
Who knew she would show some clues today? Lu Jiaxue was like a madman. Who knew what he was going to do! Kill her? Or lock her up and let her never see the light of day again, so that no one would know about his past!
Lu Jiaxue seemed to have sensed her intentions and took a few steps forward to capture her. But Yi Ning had already opened the window and jumped out, and Zhenzhu was watching below! She seemed to have guessed she would jump out the window and helped her up and left. Shen Lian and the other guards immediately gathered around, swords drawn.
Lu Jiaxue put her hands on the window bars and jumped up, then flipped over and landed downstairs. But Shen Lian and the others had already surrounded her and left the yard, moving very quickly.
He had injured his left leg during the battle, and the sudden overexertion seemed to flare up the old injury, causing him severe pain and making it impossible for him to catch up. Lu Jiaxue held onto the tree trunk and said sternly, "If you don't want me to get others into trouble, come back!"
His personal guards quickly came downstairs to help him, but he was gone. Lu Jiaxue closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
He opened his eyes and said in a gloomy and cold tone, "Call Madam Lu over to me. I have something to ask her."
He discovered a clue today and he must find it! Luo Yining, you can't run away!
Yi Ning heard Lu Jiaxue's words and leaned against the back of the carriage while Zhenzhu showed her the wounds. Unlike Lu Jiaxue, she hadn't practiced martial arts, so even with the pomegranate tree protecting her from the fall from the second floor, she still had a lot of injuries. Her elbows and knees were bruised. Her ankles couldn't be moved anymore and were starting to swell and ache.
Zhenzhu was still terrified: "Did you say something to offend the governor? I saw him suddenly get angry and pull you. I was so scared that I immediately went to find Shen Lian..."
It was really too stimulating just now. Only now did she relax while leaning against the pillow. Yining shook her head and asked, "Aunt and the others don't know, right?"
"My aunt went back with her people ahead, so she probably didn't know about it. But it was a big commotion, so someone in Jude Manor must have seen it."
There was no way to care about others now. Let them be. After all, they hadn't seen what was happening inside the house. Yi Ning was thinking about Lu Jiaxue's words... What did Lu Jiaxue mean? Who did he mean by implicating others? Was he going to attack his third brother? Or his father, Wei Ling?
As for his ex-wife, whom he had murdered and whose existence no one had ever known, why did he do this? What on earth was he going to do by forcing her to go back?
"How can I describe your injury..." Pearl was a little embarrassed. "I'm afraid it would be difficult for my son-in-law not to notice it."
"Tell everyone today not to say anything." Luo Yining didn't know how to explain this to anyone else. Was her adoptive father trying to abuse her, so she was forced to jump? There was no need to spread the news; it would be better for her to just hang herself from the beam to avoid implicating the Wei family.
The group went to the family clinic for bandaging first before rushing back to the Luo family.
When we returned to Luo's house, it was getting dark and it was past dinner time.
Luo Shenyuan had the maid save some food for her, warming it in the steamer. A plate of steamed pork with rice flour, a bowl of pigeon stewed with yam, beef tenderloin with chili peppers, and shredded cucumber in vinegar. Yi Ning, however, had no appetite at all. She reflected on her actions during the day and realized how foolish she had been in front of Lu Jiaxue. She hated herself for not making much progress over the years, but the foolishness had already been done, and there was no way to make up for it. Lu Jiaxue was beginning to doubt her now. What was he going to do?
The room was lit with candlelight. Usually, during meals, Yining would talk, and Luo Shenyuan would listen. Luo Yining had a wealth of daily details, from Luo Yiyu to Luo Yixiu, and she would recount them all to him, making meals always lively and lively. Due to a habit she'd developed as a child, Luo Shenyuan rarely spoke at the table. Today, she didn't speak either, and only the sound of her bowls swishing was heard.
"I just went to have some tea, how did you fall like this?" Luo Shenyuan said indifferently, "And the bandage is so ugly. I'll find some ointment and gauze and re-bandage you later."
"I saw the pomegranates on the trees were growing well, so I wanted to pick some myself and bring them back for you." Luo Yining had already thought of the excuse. "I brought several baskets of pomegranates. Do you want some?"
Luo Shenyuan glanced at her and said, "You're still eating even though you're bandaged like this. You're not allowed to go out with Luo Yixiu anymore."
She loved playing with Luo Yixiu when she was little, and things always got into trouble. Luo Shenyuan didn't like Luo Yixiu very much. Why was she still living in her parents' home after getting married? She should go back to her husband's home, otherwise it would be embarrassing. "Tomorrow I'll go talk to my uncle and ask the Zhu family to come and pick her up."
"She'll go back tomorrow!" Yining could only pull his arm and say with a smile, "Don't be angry, I'll be more careful next time. Actually, it's just a superficial injury, nothing serious."
Seeing that she had no appetite, Luo Shenyuan put down his chopsticks and asked the servants to clear the table.
He lifted her injured foot and placed it on his knees, lifted her skirt a little, and pinched her ankle. Yining's face turned pale with pain, and she groaned. He looked up at her, half-smiled, and asked, "Just a superficial injury, huh?"
Yi Ning could only say, "I won't dare to do it again next time."
Seeing her pitiful look, he rubbed her head and comforted her: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
The girl had already gone to find some gauze, and he re-bandaged her wound, wrapping it beautifully, like a delicate little rice dumpling.
"Third brother, where did you learn this skill?" Yi Ning lifted his foot and looked at it. It was indeed very beautiful. He was very strict in his life. The brushes in his study were placed in the same direction, and the books were arranged according to category and number. Even when bandaging a wound, he was meticulous.
