Chapter 605: Not Telling the Truth

Zhulan heard this when she came out. The person was found, not the body. "How did you find it?"

Jianyan replied respectfully, "The servants of the mansion found him in the bushes. Master He was pushed down the hillside. When the servants of the mansion found him, Master He was already unconscious. He has now been sent back to Lord Wang's mansion."

Zhou Shuren, "We have checked, where was He Shu injured?"

Jinyan replied, "Mr. He has some scratches on his face from being scratched by tree branches, and his right hand and right leg are sprained."

Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. It was a sprain instead of a fracture, which was a blessing. "It's good to be alive."

Zhou Shuren motioned for him to continue talking, and said to Zhulan, "Now that the person has been found, you can rest assured."

Zhulan took the handkerchief handed to her by Mrs. Song and sighed, "We have found the person, but the exam is tomorrow, and He Shu injured his right hand and missed three years."

Zhou Shuren washed his face and chuckled, "Fortunately, it was his right hand that was injured. He Shu is left-handed, so it's not a big deal if his right hand is injured. I'm more worried about the scars on his face. I just hope there won't be scars, otherwise it will disfigure him and he won't have to wait three years."

Zhu Lan paused, "After breakfast, I'll take Wu Ning to visit Wang's house."

Zhou Shuren wiped his hands and said, "Okay."

Zhulan washed her face and signaled to Mrs. Song to send someone to inform Wu Ning, as the girl must have not slept all night.

After breakfast, Zhulan saw Wu Ning and stared at the makeup on her face. It was because she had put on so much powder to cover the blue color of her eyes. "Go wash your face. Sometimes you worry that you don't need to cover it up."

This is the perfect time to improve favorability, especially since He Shu, who was found by the servants of the Zhou Mansion, gave Wu Ning additional favorability.

Wu Ning was stunned for a moment, then obediently went to wash her face.

Zhu Lan looked at Wu Ning, who looked so haggard. She held Wu Ning's hand and said, "Sometimes you don't need to hide. Be vulnerable when you need to be vulnerable. Don't hide everything. If you don't say it or show it, who will know what you are thinking?"

Wu Ning kept her aunt's words in mind and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Zhulan simply put a little makeup on Wu Ning, but it not only failed to hide her haggardness, but made Wu Ning look even more haggard. Then she took Wu Ning to Lord Wang's house with satisfaction.

At Lord Wang's residence, Xue took Zhulan to see He Shu. Xue didn't wipe away her tears. Although she was worried that the child was not her own, her tone was a little sad, "Fortunately, he is fine."

Zhulan asked, "The doctor has examined your face. Can the scratches on your face be healed?"

Xue said cheerfully, "When He Shu fell into the mountains, he protected his face with his hands. Although he had some scratches, they were not deep. After recuperation, there will be no obvious scars. Speaking of which, I have Miss Wu to thank for this!"

Zhulan was puzzled, "Why?"

Xue said, "He Shu used to be very weak and put all his attention on studying. After getting engaged, He Shu would exercise every day and his health is much better than before. When he was rolling, he could react and avoid important places. If he hadn't exercised, who knows how badly He Shu would have been injured!"

Zhulan turned around and looked at Wu Ning. She really didn't know about this.

There was a smile on Wu Ning's lips. She had only mentioned it to He Shu, and this man actually exercised. It was a good thing that he did exercise.

As they were talking, they arrived at He Shu's yard. As soon as Zhulan entered the house, she smelled the scent of plaster.

He Shu was sitting by the bed. When he saw someone coming into the room, he quickly sat up and saluted with both hands, "Thank you for coming in person, Auntie. I feel guilty for making you worry."

Zhulan looked at He Shu's face, which had been covered with plaster. Fortunately, they were only minor wounds. After seeing it herself, she was completely relieved. "Your legs and feet are not convenient, so you don't need to greet me."

He Shu put down his hands and looked at Wu Ning with the corner of his eyes. Seeing Wu Ning's pale face, his heart was warmed. "When my nephew is well again, I will come to thank you in person."

This time he thought he was finished, and he did not tell the truth to his aunt and uncle. After falling, his first reaction was to hide. His right foot was sprained when he fell from the tree.

Fortunately, his intuition was accurate. When he climbed up the tree, he saw someone coming down to look for him. The important thing was that the person was holding a knife. He stayed on the tree without saying a word. Fortunately, the branch was big enough and he was wearing some green clothes, so he successfully escaped the disaster.

It was just because his right hand was sprained and his left hand was numb from holding the branch, he fell down without paying attention. Fortunately, he was not injured and found a bush to hide in.

When it was completely dark and he could still hear the howling of wolves, he was really in despair. He regretted losing the bet and being plotted against. In his despair, he was found by the servants of the Zhou Mansion. He knew that the Zhou Mansion would not care about him if he was not engaged.

When he came back and faced the questioning, he thought about telling the truth, but he couldn't. He was not the biological son of the Wang family, nor was he the son-in-law of Lord Zhou. Wu Ning was just a foster child. He couldn't tell the truth and cause trouble, so he could only keep it to himself.

Zhulan and Xue looked at each other, and Zhulan said, "You two can chat for a while, we'll go sit outside for a while."

After saying that, Zhulan and Xue went out, but the old woman still stayed in the room.

He Shu was a little nervous. This was the first time the two of them were together like this. "Sit down."

Wu Ning sat on the chair, "I'm glad you're okay."

He Shu's heart softened, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Wu Ning's eyes turned red. She was more than just worried. She had been reading scriptures all night and her throat was uncomfortable now. "As long as you are safe, that's all."

Then I became worried again, "Will you be able to take the exam tomorrow?"

He Shu's eyes darkened. He almost died this time, and he would remember it for the rest of his life. "Okay."

Wu Ning opened his mouth and closed it. This is a man's thing. "Just be aware of it. Just don't put yourself in danger."

She really didn't want to feel it again. Another time would really cost her her life.

He Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "Luckily I met you."

Wu Ning's ears turned red. This was the most extreme thing He Shu had said since they met. But it made her feel relieved. He Shu did not blame her for her bad fate. Instead, he was very grateful to her. That was good.

At the Jinzhou government office, Zhou Shuren didn't even need to ask Lord Wang who had found out who had pushed He Shu. Just by looking at Lord Wang's expression, he knew that nothing had been found.

Wang Ju comforted him, "Luckily, He Shuren is fine. Please be more careful in the future."

Lord Wang was very anxious. He thought that the scholar who made the bet with He Shu was also being tricked. He searched around but could not find any clues. "Lord Zhou."

Zhou Shuren interrupted Lord Wang and said, "It's good that the person is back."

Lord Wang was stunned for a moment, his heart beating faster. Lord Zhou meant that if he couldn't find out, then he shouldn't bother looking. Having known Lord Zhou for so long, he should know a little about him. Was this for his own good?

Wang Ju pulled Lord Wang and said, "There are a lot of things waiting for us to deal with, let's go!"

Lord Wang looked at Lord Wang and said, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren waited until the two adults left before calling Jianyan over and asking, "What did you find out?"
