Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay."
Lu Xingjian gave her a cold look, stepped forward to give her a quick check, carefully picked her up, and walked towards his carriage.
When his hand went under her knees, it was covered in blood.
He carried her to his carriage and summoned the imperial physician to treat her immediately.
Zhou Wanxiu got off the carriage and stood beside it, cautiously observing Lu Xingjian's expression. She found his face to be terrifyingly ashen.
Her heart leaped into her throat; she was filled with panic.
After examining her, the imperial physician said that Su Wanwan's shinbone had been injured in an impact, causing a recurrence of her old bone injury, and she needed to be immobilized with a splint.
The external injury isn't a big problem. After applying medicine to stop the bleeding and bandaging it, we just need to wait for the wound to heal.
Lu Xingjian instructed his trusted attendants to carefully inspect Su Wanwan's carriage and find out where the problem lay.
The attendant replied shortly afterward:
"The axle has been tampered with. It's an axle that's been used for too long and is covered in cracks. The cracks have been covered up with paint, so you can't tell there's anything wrong with the axle just by looking at it."
This means someone deliberately and meticulously plotted to harm him.
Lu Xingjian's voice was icy cold: "Order the Eastern Depot to investigate thoroughly."
Zhou Wanxiu was stunned when she heard this, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Zhou Wanxiu and Lu Xingjian were originally in the same carriage, but now that Su Wanwan wanted to lie down in the carriage, Lu Xingjian had to sit on the side seat.
Zhou Wanxiu could only sit in the back carriage, sharing a ride with the imperial physician.
After the carriage started moving, Lu Xingjian asked Su Wanwan:
Who are your enemies?
Thinking of what Su Wanying had said, and the hostility that Lady Qingyang had towards her, Su Wanwan closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, remaining silent.
She and Lady Qingyang had never met before, so what grudge could they possibly have?
Besides, for her to speak ill of his mother-in-law in front of him, that would truly be insane.
Lu Xingjian waited for a while, and seeing that she didn't intend to speak, he stopped pressuring her.
His tone carried a hint of earnestness:
"Even if we have to sever ties, at least your safety should be guaranteed, right?"
"We've known each other for a while now, I just don't want you to have a hard time."
After a moment of silence, Su Wanwan spoke:
"My enemy might be your relative."
Lu Xingjian looked at her quietly.
Su Wanwan didn't say anything more.
Fortunately, she didn't foolishly mention the Marquis of Qingyang's residence directly.
