Chapter 205: Almost Died

An hour after breakfast, Zhulan was cutting eggplant strips with Li in the yard when the door opened.

Zhulan watched speechlessly as Wang Ru was carried into the yard by the guards with blood all over her head. Yao Zheyu apologized, "My carriage hit this girl. There are only women next door. It is not convenient for me to go over. I can only bring her here. Sorry to bother you, Madam Scholar."

Zhulan curled her lips. She really didn't want to get involved, but Yao Zheyu's status meant she couldn't refuse. She smiled dryly and signaled the guards to carry Wang Ru into the main hall and put her on a chair. Anyway, she didn't allow Wang Ru to enter the house, not her room, nor her lady's. "Put the two chairs together and put her on the chair first."

Fortunately, the chairs at home have no armrests, and Wang Ru can fit on them if they are put together.

Then he said to Li, "Go next door and call Wang Rong over. Remember to bring a blanket so that Miss Wang can be covered with it to prevent the strong wind in the main hall from getting caught in the wind."

Yao Zheyu, "........"

He had already inquired about the neighbors. Wang Ru had long lost her reputation. If it weren't for his status, Zhou Xiucai's wife would not even let him in. She was so disgusted that she only let him sit on the chair and didn't even let him into the house.

Zhulan would not give in without bottom line. Small people also have bottom line, and she also knows her limits. Wang Ru has long lost her reputation, and Yao Zheyu must have changed his tactics towards Wang Ru. She doesn't need to worry about offending Yao Zheyu with this little thing.

Zhulan looked at Wang Ru's forehead and took a breath of cool air. Wang Ru was really ruthless in her attempt to scam people. The cut on her head was not small. If the guards had not carried hemostatic drugs with them to stop the bleeding on her forehead, it would be hard to say whether Wang Ru could survive.

Yao Zheyu sat on the side, tapping his palm with the fan in his hand. He had investigated Wang Ru thoroughly and knew that Wang Ru had resentment towards Shi Qing. He deliberately wandered around the village waiting for someone to bump into him in person. Then he would gradually help Wang Ru out and slowly get useful information.

However, he had calculated everything but forgot about Wang Ru's temper. She was so stupid. There were many opportunities for them to meet by chance, but she insisted on crashing into the carriage. The horses in the Marquis' Mansion were all retired war horses, and strangers had no chance of getting close. They were very vigilant, and they were not docile horses. If the guards had not been so skilled, the horse would have kicked the fool and killed him directly. Wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain.

He gradually regretted it. It would have been better to just find out and arrest the man. As for whether he would be able to explain clearly, the answer was very brief. There were many tortures and he didn't believe he could withstand it. It was a little late to arrest him now. His stepmother must know his whereabouts. Shi Qing would be alarmed and he would miss the opportunity.

Zhulan didn’t know what was going on in the male protagonist’s mind, but she felt uneasy anyway. The Three Character Classic had even come out. It was such a bummer. How come they all gathered at Zhou’s house? There were really so many people!

When Zhao heard the noise, she carried Yu Shuang back to the house, and Xue Han also left. Only Zhu Lan and the eldest and second brothers were left in the main hall.

Xiao Si stared, why didn't the scholar's wife mention finding a doctor? Seeing that the girl's face was pale and a little blue, he was really scared. He glanced at the scholar's wife who looked unhappy. What the young man did was indeed unkind. If someone died in the scholar's family, it would be unlucky. The scholar's wife must have been so worried that she forgot to find a doctor.

Xiao Si didn't want the young master to be accused of murder, so he said, "Young master, the girl is not feeling well. We should see a doctor."

Yao Zheyu glanced at Wang Ru, thinking that being stupid had its value. "Go to the county and get the best doctor. Tell him about the situation and ask him to bring the medicine so that you don't have to run back and forth and cause any delays."

Xiao Si also knows some medical skills. He just took the patient's pulse. After talking to the doctor, he should be able to get the right medicine.

Xiao Si has followed the young master since he was a child. The calmer the young master's tone, the worse his mood became. "Yes."

Zhulan was not afraid of Wang Ru's death. It was said that misfortunes could last for a thousand years, and Wang Ru would not be a cannon fodder so easily. If she really became a cannon fodder, she would not hesitate to do so, but would be happy instead!

Li came back with Wang Rong and Wang Xin, followed by Zhang Sanni.

Wang Xin came in trembling, wiped her tears and fell on Wang Ru's body, "What happened to my sister? Why is she bleeding so much?"

Li got angry when she heard this and retorted, "I have told you the reason more than once. Who are you crying for now? Who are you asking about?"

The crying was so fake, it was disgusting to watch!

Zhulan, "......."

If the occasion was not wrong, she would have laughed. Li's retort was good. It made her depressed mood better. He was tough and straightforward, and was a nemesis of little white flowers.

Wang Xin's voice was cut off and the stage was dismantled. She could no longer cry. Her face turned blue and white, and she didn't know what to do.

Li looked down on Wang Xin the most. She was pretentious and disgusting. Li still remembered that the young master of the Marquisate was there. When she saw her mother's signal, she immediately stood behind her and whispered, "Mom."

Zhulan patted Li's fat hands. Li had gained weight again this week. "Yeah."

Wang Xin stole a glance at the young master sitting on the side, her heart beating wildly. Young Master Shi was incomparable to the young master of the Marquis's Mansion. The young master of the Marquis's Mansion had a stern face and exuded nobility. He held a handkerchief and carefully wiped the girl's forehead. He tilted his head and said, "Mrs. Xiucai, why don't you let my sister go into the room to lie down, but let her get some fresh air in the main hall? My sister is not in good health, what if she gets sick?"

There was sarcasm in Zhulan's eyes. Wang Xin had really grown up and his plan had come back to haunt her. Li was furious. Her mother-in-law had often used the room next door to teach her a lesson. Even though she was not smart, she could see through Wang Xin's plan and was so angry that she wanted to step forward.

When Li was about to speak up, Zhulan felt warm inside. She thought her love for Li was not in vain. She stopped Li and signaled her not to say anything.

Li stood up obediently. The anger in her eyes disappeared. Instead, she looked somewhat gloating. Her mother-in-law was the most difficult person to deal with in the family. Wang Xin had found the wrong person.

Zhulan drank her tea leisurely, and waited until Wang Xin's eyes were filled with resentment before she slowly said, "Why didn't you let me in? Don't you know it in your heart?"

Wang Xin's back froze, and he bit his lip and said evasively, "My sister is injured, and human life is at stake. Don't you think it's too cruel to do this, Madam Xiucai?"

Zhulan thought to herself that more women mean more trouble. Wang Xin's brain seemed to have opened up, and her fighting skills had been activated. She said with a smile, "If I were really cruel, I would not have let you in, and I would not have let Li tell you to bring quilts. But you sisters didn't listen at all and didn't even bring quilts. You really have a deep sisterly love!"

Wang Xin was stunned and turned around suddenly, "Second sister, didn't you bring a blanket?"

Wang Rong was so disgusted that he leaned over to apologize: "Sister, you are just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart, Madam Xiucai. You are well-known in the village for your kindness. Just look at your two sisters-in-law and you will know that there is no better mother-in-law in the village than Madam Xiucai."

Zhulan wanted to continue to tear off Wang Xin's skin and bring up the reputation issue, but looking at Wang Rong, a rare smart girl, there were many people watching the excitement at the gate, and she couldn't bear to drag Wang Rong in and be criticized by the women in the village. Wang Rong had worked hard to earn a little reputation. "Wang Ru applied medicine to stop the bleeding and has already gone to see a doctor. Go back and get a blanket to cover yourself to avoid catching a cold."

Wang Rong was extremely grateful in his heart. Grandma Zhou did not hold on to him and said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam Xiucai. I will go back and get the quilt now."

Yao Zheyu acted as a background board. It was not appropriate for him to speak at this time, but he watched a play and it really opened his eyes. There are talented people in house fights in a small village. However, he also had a new respect for Zhou Xiucai's wife. She never talked nonsense and every word she said was to the point. She also had good intentions!
