Qi Ze didn't want to say anything bad about Mrs. Lu, and didn't explain in detail. He just said that Mrs. Lu had a lot of expenses, and one or two thousand taels a month was not enough.
Liu Qiaoer didn't know why living in the capital was so expensive. She hurried all the way and managed to get back in just one day, which was supposed to be a three-day journey.
Hong Yuan was also chasing her breathlessly, and finally caught up with her when they entered the capital.
"Girl, you guys left so fast. The master told you to wait for him at the Lu family. He will pick us up when he returns to the capital."
Liu Qiaoer had just arrived in the capital, but she didn't expect that Lu Yunzheng was already waiting outside the city gate.
As soon as he saw her, Lu Yunzheng felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart.
"Hurry, follow me, Yang'er is dying."
Lu Yunzheng jogged with Liu Qiaoer, pulling her breathlessly into the Lu Mansion, and after many twists and turns, they arrived at Lu Yunyang's room.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the yard, I heard Mrs. Lu's heart-wrenching cry.
"Yang'er, Yang'er, my Yang'er..."
Lu Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, unable to stand steadily. He staggered on the spot, gritted his teeth, and pulled Liu Qiaoer to continue rushing into the house.
"Mom, I'm back. Qiao'er, go see Yang'er."
There were a lot of people standing in the room, including Lu Bingzhi, who looked so haggard that he was almost unrecognizable, Aunt Sun, who was crying her heart out, and a few maids.
Lu Yunxi stood at the corner of the bed and cried silently.
Mrs. Lu fainted directly in Chunxiao's arms.
"Madam, Madam..."
There was an old doctor standing in the room. No one cared about him. He was packing his medicine box alone, sighing and shaking his head.
Liu Qiaoer's heart suddenly sank, and she had a bad feeling.
He licked his dry lips, took a deep breath, and walked to the bed.
Lu Yunyang's wrists had no strength left, his lips were bloodless, and his young face exuded a grayish deathly aura.
Liu Qiaoer has seen so many dead bodies that she has basically become numb to them.
In the end times, people around you die almost every few days, and people die every day.
But today, when she saw the dead body again, she felt dizzy and her back went cold.
She stretched out her slender fingers and touched Lu Yunyang's neck. After a long time, Liu Qiaoer felt as if a breath was stuck in her heart. She couldn't breathe out or exhale.
"He... is dead..."
Liu Qiaoer was still late.
Even though the old doctor had just announced Lu Yunyang's death, everyone still couldn't believe it after hearing Liu Qiaoer say it again.
Xia Ying tightly grasped Liu Qiaoer's arm and knelt down in front of her.
"Qiao'er, I know you love the little prince the most. Please save him, please save him. He is only four years old. How could he die?"
Liu Qiaoer can only save people, she is not a god and cannot cure death.
Besides, Lu Yunyang had been dead for a while, so even if she was asked to save him, she couldn't.
She walked forward, undressed Lu Yunyang, and examined him carefully. Although the person was dead, she still wanted to know the cause of death.
Who would have thought that she just pressed her stomach and Lu Yunyang spat out blood from his mouth.
Liu Qiaoer thought he was alive, so she went to check on him and pressed his ribs, only to find a dent there.
Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Bingzhi, who looked very sad, and asked, "How long has he been ill? What did the doctor say?"
Her ribs were sunken, and she couldn't believe that the doctor didn't find out.
Lu Bingzhi didn't seem to know the details. He had always been taken care of by Madam Lu herself. She was now unconscious, and Aunt Sun returned hesitantly.
"He has been ill for half a month. At first he just complained of stomach pain. Later, I gave him some medicine. He stayed well for a few days, but there was no improvement."
Liu Qiaoer looked at the old doctor beside her, who shook his head gently: "Child, either the food is indigestible or the child is hungry. I really can't do anything."
Having said that, the old doctor ran away without even asking for the consultation fee.
Lu Yunzheng heard the hidden meaning in Liu Qiaoer's words, and a bit of hostility appeared on his handsome face.
"Just tell me boldly, what disease did Yang'er have? Why did it happen like this?"
Liu Qiaoer touched Lu Yunyang's belly again and shook her head gently.
"I suspect that his ribs were broken and his internal organs were punctured. He must have vomited blood severely for a period of time and couldn't eat, right?"
After Liu Qiaoer said this, Aunt Sun nodded while crying.
"Yes, he had a fever for several days, and suddenly one day he started vomiting blood, and then he couldn't eat..."
Liu Qiaoer pointed at Lu Yunyang's stomach and said, "The intra-abdominal bleeding is not very severe. It should be that a lot of blood has accumulated slowly and has nowhere to go, so it is vomited out."
"Then it contaminated the internal organs, causing fever, coma, and death."
"The fundamental reason is that Yang'er was beaten before his death. The person who beat him was very skilled. There is no scar on his body. His ribs were broken and a point of the bone pierced his liver, causing internal bleeding."
In fact, this disease can be cured if it is diagnosed and treated in time.
Liu Qiaoer saw Lu Yunzheng clenching his fists so tightly that veins were popping out.
Aunt Sun burst into tears: "Yang'er is so well behaved, who on earth would be so harsh on such a young child?"
When Lu Yunxi heard the cause of Lu Yunyang's death, she also burst into tears. In fact, she could empathize the most. None of the children in the Lu family were worry-free.
Only Lu Bingzhi looked confused: "He was beaten? Who? When?"
Lu Yunqing, who had been standing by, couldn't help but speak out.
"When my eldest brother asked us to come to the capital, he told us to leave Yang'er and Xi'er in Fengxin. I'll stay too, so we don't have to give all the shops to those people for nothing."
"Now it's all right. We've got the money and the shop. Those man-eating wolves have gnawed us till there's nothing left. Father, mother, let's go back to Fengxin."
Yes, Master Lu’s family is not easy to get along with.
Lu Yunzheng had known about it for a long time, and Liu Qiaoer had also tried to persuade him, but Mrs. Lu just refused to believe it.
When she heard that her son was beaten to death, Mrs. Lu suddenly stopped crying and looked straight at Liu Qiaoer. Just as she was about to slap Liu Qiaoer in the face, Hong Yuan grabbed her wrist.
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Yunzheng was also shocked: "Mom, why did you hit her?"
Mrs. Lu gnashed her teeth in hatred, bit her back teeth, and cursed Liu Qiaoer.
"It's all your fault, you slut. If you had come with us and watched Yang'er study all day, how could he have been beaten? You have medical skills and you should have treated Yang'er earlier. How could he have died? It's all your fault. "
Faced with Mrs. Lu's accusations, not only Liu Qiaoer was confused, but everyone around her was also confused.
Lu Bingzhi even stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Lu's hand and dragged her away.
"You're crazy. What does this have to do with Qiao'er? She saved our family back then. If nothing else, just because she saved Zheng'er, you can't be so confused about right and wrong."
"I think you are too sad. Someone, help Madam back to her room to rest."
Mrs. Lu refused to leave and pulled at the bedside, refusing to leave no matter what.
Suddenly, Mrs. Lu saw Xiaoliu, who was about the same age as Lu Yunyang, and stretched out her hand to him;
"Yang'er, are you still alive? Yang'er, my child..."
How could Hong Yuan let her hurt Xiao Liu? She slapped him with her palm and Mrs. Lu fainted.
