"What's the matter?" Qi Xiu'nan was feeling annoyed and thought the servant had embarrassed him, so he shouted harshly.
This servant was the one he had sent to report things to his aunt.
"Over there... there's a fire over there, and my aunt is still over there." The servant stretched out his hand anxiously and pointed to the east.
Qi Xiunan was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically. He didn't care about Qu Moying, just said wait a moment, turned around and ran out, shouting: "Have you sent anyone to put out the fire?"
"Someone has already gone there. I... I just left not long ago, and then... the fire started." The servant said as he ran.
Qu Moying raised his head and looked at that place. Sure enough, there was thick smoke and the fire looked quite big.
"Let's go over and take a look." Qu Moying was silent for a moment and said that as a guest it was not convenient for her to just leave at this time.
The two maids nodded and followed.
As I walked along, even though I didn't know the road, I saw many people running in that direction, and I also saw such high smoke.
When they got closer, they found that there was indeed a fire, and the fire was indeed quite big. Not only Qi Xiu Nan was there, but Qi Xiu Ran was also there.
When he saw Qu Moying, he didn't even have time to say hello. He called the person next to him to ask what was going on.
"What, mother... mother is still in there?" Qi Xiunan's loud and urgent voice made Qu Moying stop and stand still. Wasn't it Madam Liu she heard before? Why was it Madam Qi again
"It was Madam... Madam was resting inside, and unexpectedly a fire broke out. My aunt was in the yard nearby, and she rushed in. Now... now..."
As they were talking, they saw two people coming out from inside. They looked like two ladies.
The maids and old women rushed over and supported the two men.
Mrs. Liu fainted just as she was supported.
The wife of the Duke of Qi said anxiously, "Quick, come quickly, and get the doctor."
Judging from the tone of her voice, she should be fine.
For a moment, people were helping others, looking for others, and putting out fires. It was a mess. Seeing that nothing serious had happened, Qu Moying prepared to leave in the chaotic atmosphere of Duke Qi's Mansion.
"Hurry, go get some water!" Seeing that everyone here was idle, a woman came over and handed a bucket to Yu Dong, pushing her out, "Hurry over!"
Before Yudong could say anything, the old woman turned around and left.
Another maid came over, stretched out her hand and pulled Yuchun and ran, saying as she ran: "There is a bucket behind the yard. Let's go together. There is strength in numbers. Let's put out the fire quickly."
Yuchun wanted to struggle, but the maid was very strong and pulled Yuchun along as she staggered.
There was no one around Qu Moying. She looked around and found that she was now standing at the gate of the courtyard. It was a mess here and she was squeezed into a corner.
There was a large fish tank in the corner, but it had been broken into.
Maybe because it was too big, the water from the top could be taken but the water from the bottom could not be taken, so someone thought of breaking the fish tank and scooping out the water. Now, in addition to the fragments, there were also some sharp holes exposed on it.
After all, the mistress of the mansion was inside at that time, so who would care whether these fish tanks were the master's favorites
Looking at these tall, thorny pieces of porcelain, Qu Moying felt something was wrong and turned around to leave, but it was too late. A few servants came from nowhere and rushed to the door, holding buckets and other things in their hands. They were originally going to rush out of the yard to fetch water, but unexpectedly they were blocked at the door.
No one wanted to be blocked at the door, so a few people pushed hard to get out, dragging the people at the door with them.
Slanting on both sides.
In the chaos, someone bumped into Qu Moying hard. Qu Moying lost his balance and stumbled towards the hole in the fish tank.
There were too many punctured porcelain pieces there, no matter they were standing upright or directly broken on the ground. If one fell on it, one would definitely get hurt. If one was not careful, one might even lose his life. Qu Moying had already seen the most protruding part, right in front of him, it was sharp and flashing with cold light.
If I rush over like this, it will definitely pierce me.
Yu Dong's anxious voice came from behind. He was actually not far away, just staying by the door. Now he realized something was wrong, so he pushed away the two people in front of him and rushed towards Qu Moying.
Qu Moying reached out his hand decisively and grabbed the sharpest protruding piece of porcelain in front of him.
The sharp pain in her fingers and palms made her clearly aware of the danger at the moment, and then her body crashed into it.
The sharpest part was held by her hand, and it also helped to boost her strength. When she hit it again, the place where her hands overlapped no longer had the previous momentum. At this time, Yu Dong also arrived and reached out to stop her from going forward.
Qu Moying's hand loosened, and she staggered back as Yu Dong pulled her. The sharp pain between her fingers and palms made her realize clearly that she was careless.
I originally thought that rescuing the wife of the Duke of Qi was Madam Liu's plan, but I didn't expect that the main purpose was not the wife of the Duke of Qi, but myself.
Fortunately, Yu Dong was careful and did not leave him. Fortunately, she reached out decisively and grabbed the sharpest part with her hand.
This time, I was fine, but the truth that Madam Liu wanted to cover up was revealed again...
She is really well connected. She has been married for so long, and it is still a simple matter for her to stir up trouble in the Duke of Qi's mansion...
"Miss!" Yu Chun also came out from behind at this time. Seeing this scene, she was so frightened that she screamed and rushed over.
Qi Xiu Ran and Qi Xiu Nan were busy. When they heard the noise, Qi Xiu Ran was the first to react and hurried over.
After Qi Xiu Nan was stunned for a moment, he also ran here. Disliking Qu Moying was one thing, but if something really happened to Qu Moying in his own house, that would be no small matter. It was said that the King of England was quite good to the fourth young lady of the Qu family and had even visited her specially before.
"What happened?" Qi Xiuran ran fast and saw Qu Moying lying on the ground with blood all over his clothes. He was so scared that his face changed drastically and asked in a hurry.
"Doctor, find a doctor!" Yudong screamed.
Qi Xiu Ran did not dare to delay and quickly replied to send someone to look for him.
"Send Miss Qu Si to the next door as well. My aunt and mother have already been sent there, and the doctor from the mansion has also gone with them."
Qi Xiu Nan came over and saw this scene, and hurriedly said to Qi Xiu Ran.
"No need!" Qu Moying shook his head, stretched out his hand to Yu Dong and said, "Wrap my hand for me, let's... go back home!"
"Miss..." Yuchun's tears came down. She had never experienced such a miserable life since she followed the young lady.
"Miss Qu Si, this is not the time to be willful. If something really happens, it will not be good for you or our family. After all, Miss Qu Si is here to visit Grandmother."
Qi Xiu Nan looked at Yu Dong with displeasure as he anxiously tore off his clothes and bandaged Qu Moying's injured hand.
"I... want to go back. I'm afraid if I stay... I won't be able to go back!" After bandaging the wound, Qu Moying held Yu Dong's hand and slowly stood up.
Although his face was pale without a trace of blood, there was no trace of panic on his face. He only looked weak after losing blood and getting injured. Yes, very weak, very weak.
It was almost difficult to walk.
But even so, she still insisted on standing and said these words. If what happened today was an accident, she didn't believe it. She just didn't expect that Madam Liu was so clever. After knowing that the previous plan had failed, she immediately prepared the next plan.
There's not even just one set, there's a second set.
As expected, this Madam Liu is not an ordinary lady from aristocratic family. This also further confirms that Madam Liu had colluded with the Northern Frontier at an early stage.
The goal must be big!
"You... are really unreasonable!" Qi Xiu Nan said angrily.
"Someone, take Miss Qu out of the house to see a doctor. There is a clinic not far from the mansion gate." Qi Xiu Ran was not as sentimental as him. He immediately thought of the clinic not far from the mansion. The doctor in the mansion was currently treating my aunt, and her life or death was unknown. It would be useless to send Miss Qu there. It would be better to send her out of the house as soon as possible.
It looks like Miss Qu Si has injured her hand.
After hearing what he said, several maids and old women came over immediately, helping Yu Dong and the other two, and supporting Qu Moying to leave in a hurry.
Qi Xiu Nan originally wanted to keep the person, but when he saw his elder brother sent the person away without saying a word, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "Brother, why did you send the person away like this? If people see this, they will say that we have no rules in our house. We hurt people but don't even let people see the injury."
He felt that Miss Qu had come with bad intentions from the beginning, and now she had found an excuse to do so. From now on, she would always bring up recent incidents to make trouble. The reputation of the Duke of Qi's Mansion had been ruined by her.
"Who should see it?" Qi Xiuran asked with a frown.
"Don't we have a court doctor in our house?" Qi Xiu Nan said as a matter of course.
"I'm showing it to my aunt!" Qi Xiuran said.
"Just let her wait first. Anyway, her injury is not as serious as aunt's. Aunt will check her injuries after she is rescued." Qi Xiu Nan said nonchalantly. He just saw clearly that the injury was only her hand, so it should not be a big problem.
"Since you are waiting, why don't you send her outside for treatment? What if Fourth Miss Qu's hand is really disabled?" Qi Xiu Ran said angrily, thinking that his second brother must have damaged his brain from practicing martial arts.
"I don't think her injury is serious." Qi Xiu Nan was speechless, but still retorted unconvinced, "How can it be that serious? If she runs away now, who knows what we have done to her?"
Qi Xiu Ran frowned. He had seen what happened to his second brother in the past few days, but he thought that his second brother was not a fool and would always find something strange. He didn't expect that he had overestimated his second brother, which led to his second brother being particularly close to his aunt and cousin recently.
Even saying such things.
"Second brother, Miss Qu Si was injured. Not only could we not treat her injuries, but we also delayed her recovery. In the end, something really happened. Do you think this matter is over? You think that Minister Qu's mansion can't do anything to us. Have you ever thought about the Prince of Ying's mansion?"
Qi Xiuran said angrily: "You always think that your aunt is right and stand on her side, but have you seen what your grandfather means?"
"What's wrong with grandfather? He just quarreled with grandmother. Big brother was only talking about me, but did you see how sad grandmother was? It was all because of this Fourth Miss Qu. Grandmother was so angry that she fainted." Qi Xiu Nan was not willing to admit defeat. He felt that he was not wrong. Grandmother and aunt had always been very close, and they were both angered by the Fourth Miss Qu.
Anyway, he just couldn't bear to see his loving grandmother and gentle aunt sad or angry!
"Someone, take this bastard away and give him twenty lashes of the cane!" The old Duke's cold and angry voice suddenly sounded behind him.
