Chapter 273 Zhou Yuxiu is injured
Zhou Yuxiu's face froze.
For a moment, he lost the ability to make expressions.
Gu Ruanci's words were like a sharp knife, accurately piercing the hearts of Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue.
Every word she spoke seemed to carry a tremendous force, making it impossible to refute or escape.
Ye Hesheng's life was at stake, and no one could escape.
Ye Lingyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that she was speechless.
She looked at Gu Ruanci, her eyes full of determination and resoluteness.
Zhou Yuxiu's face finally turned ashen, his clenched fists trembling slightly, obviously he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.
He thought his sincerity was enough to shake Gu Ruanci, but he didn't expect that she would be so direct and ruthless as to expose their family scandal to the public.
"Gu Ruanci, you..." Zhou Yuxiu's voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat. "You are going too far."
After all, he didn't dare to say anything too harsh.
Gu Ruanci just smiled slightly, and that smile was full of ridicule and disdain.
"Excessive? Compared to what your Zhou family has done, what I did is nothing compared to what I did. You think that using a little blood relationship can make me forget the past and use it for your benefit? That's ridiculous."
After saying that, Gu Ruanci turned around and was about to leave, leaving Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue standing there, looking at each other in confusion, speechless.
"As expected of Zhou Zhili's son, you're just as shameless as your father."
Zhuang Hefeng couldn't bear it and added something.
Seeing his behavior, Lu Enyan ordered people to drive them down the mountain.
"The Xuan Emperor Temple does not welcome anyone surnamed Zhou today. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Prince Duan's Mansion and file a complaint against me."
After Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue came down the mountain, they were still worried.
"If Gu Ruanci doesn't help, what will happen to Qinzhu's marriage?"
Zhou Yuxiu said helplessly that Zhou Qinzhu's reputation had been affected again recently, with Wen Zimei behind the scenes. The Zhou family knew it in their hearts, but they hadn't broken off relations with her yet.
Ye Lingyue also sighed: "Yes, ever since Lu Wenxue betrayed us, the situation at Qinzhu has not been optimistic."
"Well, let's think of another way..."
Zhou Yuxiu was really confused. What was the next step for the Zhou family?
Lu Enyan did not leave at all. He even asked for Gu Ruanci's opinion and went to pay a visit to Ye Hesheng.
"Is the prince interested in you?" Zhuang Hefeng suddenly asked.
Before Gu Ruanci could reply, Gu Congyun on the other side was already anxious: "That won't do. I've just been enjoying my daughter's life for a few days, and he wants to come and steal the treasure. Dream on."
Gu Ruanci couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, father. I have no intention of getting married for the time being. After all, I'm only sixteen years old this year. There's still time."
This answer made Gu Congyun very satisfied and he immediately smiled brightly.
When Lu Enyan, who had just returned from paying homage to Ye Hesheng, heard this, the smile that had just appeared on the corner of his mouth disappeared instantly.
The two brothers Xu Dongting and Xu Xiyan behind him were also a little worried. They had already seen through the thoughts of their own eldest son.
Unexpectedly, the Princess of Chaoyang County had other intentions...
In the end, Lu Enyan did not go in immediately. Instead, he turned around and walked around outside. After adjusting his mood, he went back.
We still can't rush into this matter.
When the Zhou family was going down the mountain, they encountered an accident.
The wheels of Zhou Yuxiu and Ye Lingyue's carriage flew out of control, and the two people were thrown out. Ye Lingyue's arm was dislocated, and Zhou Yuxiu's head hit a rock and he fell unconscious on the spot.
This scene frightened the Zhou family's servants so much that they hurried forward to check the injuries of the two men.
Although Ye Lingyue's arm hurt a lot, she was still conscious. She endured the pain and ordered the servants to check on Zhou Yuxiu first, and then went to the mountain as quickly as possible to ask Gu Ruanci who had not left yet.
If we go back to the city to find a doctor, it might be too late. If the little medical genius Gu Ruanci is willing to help, he will definitely be able to stabilize the situation.
Gu Runci, who was about to leave, was saying goodbye to Lu Enyan when she saw a servant from the Zhou family running towards her, breathless, saying that something serious had happened to their young master and asked her to help take a look.
Gu Ruanci's expression was serious, and Zhuang Hefeng said, "Just follow your heart and don't worry about others."
Lu Enyan obviously had the same idea: "Why should the county lady be afraid of others..."
Gu Ruanci thought for a moment and said, "If he can hold on until we pass by him down the mountain, I can take a look..."
The Zhou family servants were already thanking him profusely; after all, he was ready to report.
Ye Lingyue at the foot of the mountain kept calling Zhou Yuxiu's name, trying to wake him up, but Zhou Yuxiu never responded.
She didn't even care about her aching arm. She looked at Zhou Yuxiu's tightly closed eyes, as if she had seen her bleak tomorrow.
She had just gotten married. What would she do if her husband died?
"Husband, Zhou Yuxiu, can you hear me?"
Ye Lingyue became more and more anxious, and her voice began to become hoarse.
"Gu Ruanci, when will you come? Human lives are at stake..."
She did not forget to take the time to complain, with a resentful expression.
Her maidservant felt sorry for her arm and reminded her, "Madam, the prince is unconscious. We just need to wait until the county lady comes. Your injuries should be treated quickly now..."
"No need, these are just superficial injuries." Ye Lingyue said stubbornly.
She had only one thought in her mind, which was to keep Zhou Yuxiu alive, so that she would have hope.
Time seems to freeze at this moment, and every moment of waiting seems like a long time.
"Gu Ruanci, please, come quickly..." Ye Lingyue prayed silently in her heart.
She even began to suspect whether Gu Ruanci had done it.
However, she immediately denied this idea. If Gu Ruanci took action, it would definitely be even more tragic.
Finally, the sound of a carriage was heard in the distance.
"Here she comes! Madam, it's Princess Chaoyang!" the maid shouted excitedly.
Ye Lingyue was about to become exhausted, but she felt so relaxed, as if she had seen a savior, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Gu Ruanci's carriage stopped in front of them.
Seeing the mess here, Gu Ruanci didn't say much, but Lu Enyan had already asked the Xu brothers to investigate the situation of the Zhou family's carriage.
"Soft words, please save him..." Ye Lingyue didn't care about anything else and lowered her attitude.
Gu Ruanci was very calm. She just stood there and observed without getting any closer.
"Soft words, what do you mean?"
Ye Lingyue didn't understand. Even though people were in such a state, was Gu Ruanci still avoiding suspicion?
Gu Ruanci explained, "I just came to take a look and didn't intend to take action. After all, I don't know if you have done anything to him since the incident. What if he dies when I touch him? Wouldn't that be blamed on me? There's also a possibility that after I touch him and confirm that his life is not in danger, you take him back to that self-important Zhou Yuzhi. But he doesn't have the ability to treat him and ends up pushing it onto me, falsely accusing me of doing something?"
