Chapter 127 Go quickly and ask father to invite an imperial physician for this young master!
Lan Xiyue had a flash of thought and took out a silver needle from her sleeve.
The silver needle jumped between her fingers and fell accurately into the acupuncture point in Xiaozhen's body.
Not long after, Lan Xiyue retracted the silver needles one by one. When she put the last silver needle into her sleeve, she was actually putting it into space.
Xiaozhen's eyes slowly opened, empty and confused. Her lips moved slightly as she murmured, "Grandfather..."
Chu Xia squatted down, gently held Xiao Zhen's hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Xiao Zhen, don't be sad. The dead cannot be resurrected. You must be strong. For your grandfather, you must live well."
Xiaozhen's eyes fell on her grandfather's cold body not far away, and tears slid silently down her face like pearls from a broken string, each drop carrying endless sorrow.
Lan Xiyue frowned and said in a low voice: "Little Lantern, go to the village and find a few people to help deal with the old man's funeral." After that, she took out a few silver bills from her sleeve and handed them to Little Lantern.
The little lantern responded, took the banknote with both hands, turned around and left in a hurry.
Lan Xiyue's gaze fell on Xiaozhen again, and an indescribable sense of guilt welled up in her heart: "Blame me! If I had taken the old man away yesterday, this wouldn't have happened..."
Xiaozhen cried and shook her head, tears blurring her vision. "No! Miss, you saved me and it's already a great favor. How dare I blame you?"
She struggled to crawl to the old man's body, hugged her grandfather tightly with both hands, and cried bitterly: "Grandfather...wake up, how could you bear to leave Xiaozhen?"
Lan Xiyue couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she turned around, walked out of the house, and looked up at the vast sky.
Chu Xia followed closely behind, her voice full of sadness: "Miss, Xiao Zhen, she is so pitiful."
Lan Xiyue took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the sorrow into her chest. She stood quietly, her eyes piercing through the layers of mist, gazing into the distance.
Her thoughts drifted back to her past life, and the strange old man who raised her. When the strange old man died, she was as heartbroken as Xiaozhen was now.
Just then, Little Lantern came with the villagers.
The village chief's face was heavy as he sighed, "Alas! What a sin!"
A villager walked into the house and saw Xiaozhen lying on the ground with a hairpin stuck in her chest and blood oozing out. He couldn't help but shout, "Xiaozhen!"
Lan Xiyue's brows suddenly frowned, she turned around quickly and walked quickly into the house.
Squatting down, she took out the silver needle again and prepared to give Xiaozhen acupuncture.
Xiaozhen spoke incoherently: "No... Thank you, Miss, for saving me from the tiger's den at the Prime Minister's Mansion. My grandfather is gone, and I don't want to live anymore... Miss, please don't save me. I only have... my grandfather... as a relative. Now that my grandfather is gone, I have to go and accompany him!"
Lan Xiyue's hand stopped in mid-air. Looking at Xiaozhen's lifeless eyes, she said angrily, "Don't you want revenge?"
"I'm just an orphan... revenge? How can it be easy? How can I... compete with the Prime Minister's Mansion..." After she finished speaking, Xiaozhen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then slowly closed her eyes and died.
"Xiaozhen, why can't you let it go?" the aunt beside her cried.
Lan Xiyue withdrew her hand, stood up, and walked out with a gloomy face. She looked down upon people who committed suicide the most. If they are not afraid of death, why would they be afraid of living?
There is hope as long as she is alive. Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, she can help her get revenge, but she only wants to die!
Chu Xia wiped her tears and said, "Miss..."
Lan Xiyue said calmly, "Let's go back. We have these villagers here to help us deal with it."
After saying that, Lan Xiyue turned and left.
Chuxia hurried to follow.
Back in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Jinbao woke up early in the morning and hugged two maids. He wanted to be affectionate with them in the morning, but the two maids tried their best but he felt nothing there.
For a moment, he was furious, his face turned ashen, and he was burning with anger.
A doctor was called in to take a look, and he said gravely, "The Second Young Master has indulged himself too much. I'm afraid he won't be able to be humane in the future."
"What? You quack, you dare to say that this young master is inhumane? Come, drag this quack away and pickle him for this young master!"
The doctor's face changed and he was terrified.
Two servants immediately rushed in and escorted the doctor out.
“Don’t…let me go…”
Another servant came in and reported, "Second Young Master, that bitch from the woodshed ran away. Our men went to her house but couldn't find her. There was only an old man at home, and our men... beat him to death."
Hearing this, Bai Jinbao became even more furious. He sat up suddenly, causing the wound to tug at him. He couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Hiss! A bitch, not only did she resist this young master, but she even dared to run away? You useless people, what are you thinking of her? Go find her and bring her back to this young master, and torture her!"
After saying this, he angrily said, "Why don't you go and call all the doctors in the capital to come to me!"
The servant was so frightened that he trembled all over and ran out quickly.
Bai Jinbao turned his gaze to the two maids kneeling on the ground.
"Come here, you two." His voice was cold and sinister.
The two maids trembled and walked to the bedside carefully.
Bai Jinbao reached out and grabbed one of the men's wrists, pulling roughly.
Not long after, his roar was heard again in the room: "Get out! All of you, get out!"
The two maids crawled out of the room in a disheveled state, their clothes in disarray.
"Second Young Master, I have invited the best doctors in the capital." The servant hurried into the house, followed by several elderly doctors.
However, after these doctors examined Bai Jinbao one by one, they all shook their heads and sighed, saying that they were powerless.
Seeing this, Bai Jinbao was completely panicked. He grabbed the edge of the bed tightly, and his fingers turned white from the force.
"Go quickly and ask my father to call an imperial physician for me!" he shouted hysterically.
The servant responded and ran out immediately without delay.
