Xie Ruzhuo nodded, and as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy all over. With quick green eyes and quick hands, Qian was so busy that she helped her sit on the soft couch beside her and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and forced a smile and said, "No problem, doctor, could you please help my little brother see how he is doing?"
The doctor nodded, walked to the bedside, checked his pulse again, and then said, "Fortunately, he was rescued in time and his lifeline was not injured. It's just that the bruises on his neck were a bit serious. , it will take some time to practice well."
After saying that, the doctor got up and went to the table to write the prescription and said, "Fetch the medicine according to this, boil it and give it to the young master to drink. Remember, cook the medicine three times a day according to the time, and the amount must not be wrong."
Bizhi responded and said, "Doctor, please help the fourth lady take a look. She also went into the water just now."
The doctor nodded, walked to Xie Ruzhuo's side, checked his pulse, and said with a smile, "The fourth lady has a good foundation, it's not a serious problem. She just needs to take good care of herself. I'll prescribe some cold-repelling medicine later." The fourth lady should also drink the medicine."
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and thanked the doctor, and ordered Jiang Zhu to pay him some money. Then he walked to the bedside to stay with Xie Huailin.
Unexpectedly, Xie Huailin had a fever again before he drank the medicine. Xie Ruzhuo watched over him, constantly changing towels, and took a spoon to feed him medicine one bite at a time.
Xie Huailin was a child after all, so even in his dream, he pursed his lips and refused to take the medicine. Xie Ruzhuo had no choice but to ask the maid to bring some sugar, and fed him sugar water and concoction.
After feeding like this for half an hour, I finally finished feeding all the medicine in the bowl.
Xie Ruzhuo just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hong Rui walk in hurriedly and whispered, "Miss, the person who harmed the fourth young master has been found out. Do you know who it is? It's the third lady!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then lost his voice and said, "Tell me again, who is it?"
Hong Rui said angrily, "It was the Third Madam, the maid Xue'er who served the Fourth Young Master, who personally confessed that it was the Third Madam who committed the murder, saying that the Fourth Young Master stole the Third Young Master's limelight, so the Third Madam wanted to kill the Fourth Young Master! Please tell me. , how can she be so cruel-hearted!"
Xie Ruzhuo immediately stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
After instructing Bizhi Jiangzhu and other safe maids to guard Xie Huailin, Xie Ruzhuo put on his coat and hurriedly walked towards the main courtyard of Linlang Pavilion.
In the courtyard, a group of servants knelt down loudly. The leader kneeling down was shivering. She was Xue'er, the waiting maid in the side courtyard.
Mrs. Qiao pointed at Xueer with hatred and said, "I usually treat you all well, but you, a heartless person, have such a bad conscience. Tell me, why do you do things for the third lady and harm my child!"
Xue'er was so frightened that she trembled all over. She raised her eyes and said, "The third lady lured me with a lot of money, and this slave has done something evil. I beg you, madam, to be merciful and spare me this time!"
"Spare you? If I forgive you this time, I don't know how you will harm my son next time!" Mrs. Qiao covered her aching head, pointed at Xue'er and said, "Someone, go and beg the old lady. Come here, I must seek justice for my son!"
After she finished speaking, she saw Mr. Ji appearing at the front door and said loudly, "I already know about this. Just drag this unfaithful girl out and beat her up and hand her over to the government! Just here Before, she needs to have a confrontation with the Lu family. If she dares to murder my grandson, no matter who she is, no one will be able to get away with it!"
Ms. Qiao stepped forward and saluted Ms. Ji, and heard Ms. Ji ask, "How is Yong'an?"
Mrs. Qiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "The fever is starting right now, and the four girls are keeping watch, but the doctor said it will be fine after giving birth for a while. It's just that this girl is so cruel to deal with such a young child!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji immediately snorted coldly and said, "My Xie family will not tolerate such a vicious person! Jin Yu, go and see why Mrs. Lu hasn't come over yet!"
At this moment, a crying cry was heard outside the door, "Mother Mingjian, if I lay a finger on Yong'an, I will be struck by lightning and die!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu walked in quickly without applying makeup.
Ji frowned first and said, "Humph, you are not afraid of retribution. This girl has confessed to it herself, what else do you have to say!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu immediately walked up to Xue'er, grabbed her collar, and said, "Since you said it was me who instigated it, then you must provide evidence!"
Xue'er was choked so hard that she couldn't breathe. She blushed and said, "Third Madam, you said it yourself that day. If I kill the fourth young master, you will give me one hundred taels of silver." Yeah, how can you deny it?"
After hearing this, Madam Lu immediately hit her on the delicate face and said with hatred, "What a shameless girl, how dare you slander me like this! Then let me ask you, since you said it was me who instigated you. , when and where did I instruct you, and what method did I ask you to use to kill Yong'an!"
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she looked like a shrew, and then she pointed at Mrs. Lu and said, "Third brother and sister, I treat you very well on weekdays, and I think I have never done anything to disgrace my third wife, but now how can you?" Do such a thing! That is my only son, and you also have children, don’t you feel guilty about doing such a thing!"
Mr. Lu usually framed others a lot, but today he was framed by others. He suddenly felt a little depressed and said in a sharp voice, "I didn't do it! I like Yong'an so much, how could I do such a heartbreaking thing?" !You, you say!”
If Xie Huailin dies, Mr. Lu might really clap his hands and applaud him, but this premise does not include others wanting to pour this basin of dirty water on his head!
She was now anxious to clear up her relationship with this matter, and immediately pressed Xueer to question her.
But in the eyes of others, he looks guilty!
Xue'er was obviously well prepared and said unhurriedly, "It was the sixth day of September. Madam, you came to me and told me that you wanted me to throw the fourth young master into the lake and drown him when no one was prepared. He also said that if he tied a stone to it, he wouldn’t float!”
"Heh, let me ask you, if the fourth young master starts shouting, wouldn't that mean the plan will be revealed in vain?" Ms. Lu also had some brains and immediately found the flaw in it.
Xueer glanced back at one person without trace, and then said, "That's why you asked me to do this when I get up in the morning, because there are fewer people in the morning, so I won't be discovered!"
When Ji heard this, she was furious. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xie Ruzhuo coming over and tugging at the corner of her clothes, and then whispered a few words.
Ji was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Xue'er, this unruly slave who is deliberately trying to harm the master, give me a beating and send him to the government! As for Lu, go to the ancestral hall first, and wait until the old lady comes back in the evening. Let’s deal with it again!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu immediately collapsed on the ground and cried, "Mother, listen to me, this matter really has nothing to do with me, mother—"
However, the maids and servants around her had already come forward to help her up and sent Mrs. Lu to the ancestral hall. Others took Xueer, who looked ashen-faced, to the Criminal Academy.
Qiao was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she was helped into the room by Xie Ruzhuo. As soon as she entered, Xie Ruzhuo closed the door and whispered, "Mom, I think the murderer is someone else."
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao was slightly startled and lost her voice, "What did you say?"
Ji also looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a puzzled look on her face. Xie Ruzhuo also said the same words just now, and then asked her to pretend to be the handler first, and she said those words just now.
Xie Ruzhuo said softly, "When I was in the room just now, Yong'an said, 'I don't wash my face, please let me go.' There are bruises on her neck, and she was obviously pinched. Xue'er didn't mention this at all when she confronted Mr. Lu just now. In my opinion, Xue'er is probably taking the blame for someone else."
Mrs. Qiao had been confused when she was concerned before, but now she calmed down and couldn't help but frown and said, "Yes, when I was interrogating just now, Xue'er confessed too quickly. Is there really something fishy inside?"
Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "If there's something fishy about it, we'll find out once we try it."
The bowl of medicine was indeed very effective. At noon, Xie Huailin woke up as expected. When he saw Mrs. Qiao, he immediately hugged her and never left her.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Ms. Qiao couldn't help but feel angry and pitiful in her heart, and kept comforting him softly.
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo stood up and went out and shouted, "Tao'er, Xing'er, you two come in and help the young master change."
After hearing this, the two of them walked in hurriedly, but Xing'er's steps slowed down a few steps without any trace.
After getting into the house, Xie Ruzhuo took Xie Huailin from Qiao's arms and coaxed softly, "Yong'an, the fourth sister made you sweet-scented osmanthus cake. How about we wash our faces and eat the cake?"
Xie Huailin had the nature of a child after all. After hearing this, he immediately showed a weak smile.
However, as soon as he turned around and was about to let the maid wipe him, he saw Xing'er's smile, which scared him so much that he burst into tears!
While Xie Huailin was crying, he kept waving his hands, trying to stop Xing'er from approaching.
Xing'er was startled by Xie Huailin's appearance, and immediately she forced a smile and said, "The fourth young master must have been too stimulated. Look, even Xing'er doesn't recognize him."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly glared and said, "Catch her!"
Seeing everyone in the room push Xing'er to the ground in an instant, Xie Ruzhuo turned around to comfort Xie Huailin and said, "Don't be afraid of Yong'an, but did she pinch your neck?"
Xie Huailin immediately covered his neck, nodded with tears in his eyes, and then hugged Xie Ruzhuo's neck tightly, not daring to let go. His little body couldn't help but want to shrink into a ball. He was obviously frightened. .
Seeing him like this, Xie Ruzhuo could only feel itching with hatred, and said angrily, "Take her out here, beat her thirty times, and then listen to her judgment!"
She didn't like to have people operated on the most in her life. The girl in her room made a mistake, and as long as she didn't cross the line, she would just say a few words, but today she got really angry.
Mrs. Qiao had already seen the clues, and immediately said harshly, "Wow, they actually joined forces to harm my son. If I don't get rid of the ambitious things like you wolves today, wouldn't I be in trouble every day in the future? What!"
Xing'er was quickly dragged out, while Xie Ruzhuo carefully comforted him in the house for a long time. It wasn't until Xie Huailin fell asleep after crying that he was tired, then he put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then walked out.
The women who attacked her this time were ruthless, and after thirty minutes of beating, Xing'er was already lying on the ground unable to move.
Qiao was interrogating her and said, "Tell me honestly, who is the mastermind behind this?!"
Xing'er was already out of breath, but now she said weakly, "Go back to Madam, it's the Qiao family, the Qiao family -"
"What did you say?!"
Mrs. Qiao stood up suddenly, looked at her in disbelief and said, "Tell me again, whose family did it?!"
