Chapter 114: Vicious Heart
Lan Qiu sighed in his heart: "Mr. Xiao is really a man of love and righteousness."
"That's right. It is said that it is easy to add flowers to a beautiful woman, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Mr. Xiao is a rare and kind man. When the young lady wakes up, I must tell her so that she can be happy."
The old doctor returned to the clinic and saw Xiao Muheng still sitting in the hall, so he hurried over to greet him.
"Master."
Xiao Muheng nodded and said, "Did you go and see what happened?"
"In a farm outside the city, the young lady's ten fingers were broken, her nails were pulled out, and her flesh was bloody. The person who used this torture was quite cruel. According to my diagnosis, although the broken bones can grow back, the fingers will be deformed. Although she won't be unable to take care of herself, it will definitely affect her future life."
"Okay, I got it. Don't tell anyone about this in advance. Just give the maid the medicine when she comes." Xiao Muheng said with a frown.
He can't act rashly now, otherwise he will get himself into trouble.
When the Lu family is overthrown, he will extricate himself from this marriage.
"Yes, sir." The old doctor replied respectfully.
He is just a doctor sitting in the hall, and he just needs to listen more and ask less about his masters' affairs.
Ever since Lu Youping had been idle at home, he would pull Lu Xiang along whenever it was time to eat, as if the anxiety in his heart could be relieved just by looking at his daughter.
Lu Xiang did not refuse. It didn't matter where he ate.
For this purpose, he even proposed to Lu Youping that they hire a chef who specializes in Sichuan cuisine.
Well, Lu Xiang really wants to eat spicy food recently.
Since his daughter had a request, and it was such a trivial matter, Lu You naturally had to agree to it. However, he also had to eat a few spicy meals with his daughter, and his mouth was covered with blisters.
I am already anxious, and eating spicy food will make me even more anxious.
After dinner, Lu Xiang took Yunzha and Wuyue to sit with Qiao Jingru for a while before returning to Qixia Courtyard.
The watery moonlight poured down, leaving mottled light and shadows on the ground, and the night breeze was blowing.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a black shadow flash outside Lu Xiang's bedroom.
"Miss……"
As soon as Yun Zha opened his mouth, Lu Xiang made a "hush" sound.
Wu Yue hurried over there, but saw nothing.
"Miss, from the look of her clothes, she looks like Hongyin," Wu Yue said.
"Did you see the face?" Lu Xiang asked.
Wu Yue shook her head: "No."
Yun Zhe said: "The one who can still enter and leave Qixia Courtyard at this time is most likely from our courtyard. I also think it is Hong Yin. Wait for me to find her and ask her."
As she was about to leave, Lu Xiang stopped her and said, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Let's see what she did in my room."
"She must have done something bad by sneaking around. Humph. I thought she would restrain herself after the young lady warned her last time, but I didn't expect that she would still be a dog that can't change its bad habits." Wu Yue cursed.
The three of them entered the house, and Yunzha went to light the lamp.
At first glance, there was no sign that the house had been ransacked, and everything was normal.
The window was open, and the pink gauze curtains fluttered gently in the autumn breeze. The faint scent of osmanthus drifted in from outside the house, refreshing the nose.
Yunzha and Wuyue checked one by one.
Lu Xiang stood beside the bed, his dark eyes as gloomy as a cold pond staring at the neatly spread quilt.
"You two didn't make the quilt today?"
Yunzha was startled and said, "The young lady woke up from her nap today, and I made the quilt myself." She walked to Lu Xiang's side, then turned to Wuyue and asked, "Wuyue, did you make the quilt for the young lady?"
Wu Yue shook her head: "I don't have it, right, Ah Man?"
Yun Zhe said: "I will go and ask."
Just as he was about to leave, he heard Wu Yue scream, "Ah, the quilt moved."
Lu Xiang: “…” Don’t be so excited.
Yun Zha also saw that the quilt, which was originally laid flat, was suddenly moved up by something.
Then Wu Yue pulled back the quilt, and in an instant, the faces of the three people changed.
Even though Lu Xiang was always calm and composed in times of crisis, he couldn't help but be frightened at this moment.
Dozens of red scorpions were crawling on her bed, giving people goose bumps.
Yunzha and Wuyue wanted to scream, but they covered their mouths tightly at the moment of making a sound, with horror in their dark eyes.
Ah Man was originally having supper in the small kitchen. When she heard Lu Xiang coming back, she ran to find her. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the scene in front of her. She was startled and quickly stepped forward to throw the quilt to the ground. Then she picked up the two ends of the sheet and twisted it to wrap the scorpion inside. Then she turned around and looked at Lu Xiang.
"Miss, are you okay? Was you touched by a scorpion?"
"I'm fine."
The flickering candlelight in the room made Lu Xiang's jade-like face even more crystal clear, and her star-like bright eyes flickered with an eerie light.
If she had not noticed the black shadow today and had been a little more careless after returning to the house, she would have been lying on the bed defenseless. These were not ordinary scorpions, each one was highly poisonous.
"So Hongyin came into the room just now to put these poisons. She wants to kill the young lady." Wu Yue was so angry that her eyes were red, her fists were clenched and made a creaking sound, and she wished she could cut Hongyin into pieces.
Upon hearing this, Ah Man turned around and left without saying a word.
Lu Xiang quickly called out to her.
"Miss, please don't stop me. I will stuff these scorpions into her clothes and let her taste the pain."
She felt guilty and forgot everything when it came to food. She let Hongyin slip into the young lady's room right under her nose. She even promised to protect the young lady's safety. If the young lady drove her away in anger, wouldn't she be so embarrassed?
Ah Man now just wants to vent his anger on Hong Yin.
Lu Xiang didn't think so much about it. If someone wanted to harm her, even if she recruited ten experts, there would always be times when they would take advantage of her.
"Yunzha, I suddenly feel a cold, go find a doctor quickly." Lu Xiang suddenly ordered.
Yun Zhe was stunned: "Ah?"
Isn't this calling a doctor to arrest a traitor? She doesn't understand.
Wu Yue nudged her with her elbow and said, "Just go if the young lady asks you to go."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."
Lu Xiang then instructed Wu Yue, "Go tell Mu Jin and the other two that I suddenly fainted and I don't seem to have any symptoms. You are all at a loss. Tell them to guard the yard and don't make any noise."
Wu Yue was completely confused, but did as she was told.
Ah Man blinked and looked at Lu Xiang, then pointed at herself with her backhand: "Miss, where is this servant? What do I do?"
Lu Xiang pointed at the bed sheet in her hand and said with a cold smile: "Find a place and take good care of it. Someone gave me such a big gift, I have to give something back."
"Yes." Ah Man shook the balled-up bed sheet in his hand and replied.
Lu Xiang felt his scalp tingle when he heard the rustling sound coming from inside: "Please change the bed for me before you start working."
I definitely don’t dare to cover myself with the quilt anymore.
