"I hit... I hit someone." The coachman trembled.
"I'm fine, let's go take a look." Ning Xueyan nodded at Qingyu calmly, pushed her away, and signaled her to go out.
Qingyu understood and got out of the carriage.
The coachman really doesn't know how this person appeared in front of his carriage. He can be sure that there was no one here before, but how could he have imagined that, with a slight mistake, the old woman bumped into his horse, and now fell I fell to the ground, and I don't know anything about personnel.
It will jump down immediately to see if the person hit hard, but fortunately there is no blood on the ground.
Qingyu also climbed down from the carriage and looked at the old woman who fell on the ground. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and held a bundle in her hand. She seemed to be from another place. She was not tall, about four or fifty years old. , pale and fainted to the ground, I don't know whether he fainted from the collision or fainted from fright.
"I bumped into someone, bumped into someone!" Just now, the horse neighed and attracted all the people around. At this time, they saw the old woman on the ground who was unknown, and they all started talking. The logo belongs to the Marquis of Huguo.
"The carriage of the Marquis Huguo's Mansion hit someone."
"Like this, if you don't move, you won't really be killed!"
"The person sitting in this carriage is probably the second girl from the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion. I heard that she has killed someone before."
"That's right, the one who hit and died seemed to be a child. She really committed a crime. She was obviously the one who hit someone right away, and she said that the child rushed out by herself."...
Two women squeezed in from the crowd. They heard the commotion here, and from time to time they heard someone mentioning the Houguo Mansion, bumping into people or something, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly squeezed in to have a look and see the situation clearly. , Startled immediately, one winked at the other, and the other rushed out of the crowd and ran out.
There is another street across here, which is the Huguohou Mansion. The servants in the mansion will pass by here from time to time, not to mention there is a candied fruit shop on this street. The candied fruit in it is the favorite of Mrs. Tai, every few days People will come to buy some, and today it happens that people from Xiangfuyuan came out.
The broken whispers in the crowd reached Ning Xueyan's ears, and the corners of her lips curled up into a slight smile.
She only knew about that incident. Two years ago, in order to chase the third prince's carriage, Ning Yuling galloped down the street and killed a frightened child standing on the side of the road. She refused to admit it afterwards. He said vigorously that the child knocked it out by himself, and finally accompanied him with a few taels of silver, and then left.
Someone recognized that it was the carriage of the Marquis of Huguo, and the parents of the child refused to accept it, and rushed to the door of Marquis of Huguo crying loudly, attracting crowds to watch and curse, Ning Zu'an had to come out to deal with the matter in person, apologizing and paying compensation , It was quite a big noise.
Today, Ning Xueyan took advantage of this opportunity...
With Ning Yuling's lessons learned from the past, and now that many people have seen this incident, Mrs. Tai and Ning Zu'an will definitely agree to their request.
"Grandmother, wake up." Seeing that she had bumped into an old woman, Qingyu immediately came over and squatted down, half picked up the old woman's body, shook her, and called out anxiously.
There was no arrogance or domineering in the expression, but it made the crowd of onlookers feel a little more favorable towards her, and some of them took a few steps back automatically so as not to hinder her.
After shaking for a while, the old lady finally opened her eyes under the expectant eyes of the crowd, but she didn't understand where it was for a while, and looked at the crowd blankly, obviously not knowing what was going on.
"Grandma, how are you hurt, do you want to go and see?" Qingyu asked with concern.
"Yes, a little further ahead is a medical clinic. Since the girls have said so, let's go and have a look together!" Among the onlookers, someone enthusiastically suggested.
"No... no need..." The mother-in-law seemed to understand, and tried to sit up with difficulty holding Qingyu's hand, but she fell down as soon as she let go of her hand. Fortunately, Qingyu didn't let go of her hand, so she didn't fall directly to the ground.
"Grandma, you seem to be really hurt. It's okay. Let's go to the front and have a look. Our girl said that you must be cured, so that you are fine." Qingyu supported her vigorously, and then On the other hand, the coachman also took a ride, and the two of them worked together to get the old woman into the mix.
The old woman seemed to be really injured, and when her legs touched the ground a little, her face turned pale from the pain, and she moaned.
"This is really hurting the muscles and bones. It's not a trivial matter to hurt the muscles and bones. Go and have a look."
"That's right, otherwise I won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of my life." Everyone didn't expect that although the old woman didn't bleed, her injuries seemed to be serious, and she couldn't even stand up. , I also like it very much, it seems that the second girl from the Hou Mansion must not be the one here.
"Then trouble this girl." The old woman became more frightened by what she said, so she nodded without further delay.
Qingyu wanted to help her into the carriage, but the carriage shaft was a bit high, even if the coachman helped, the two of them couldn't get the old woman whose hands and feet were weak.
"I'll carry it, anyway, it's not far ahead." An enthusiastic young man walked out of the crowd, and he was about to carry the old woman on his back, pointing to the not far away.
Qingyu took a look, the road was indeed not far away, nodded hurriedly, got back into the carriage, the coachman also took his seat again, raised his whip and followed the young man forward, and arrived at the entrance of the medical hall without walking too far.
Ning Xueyan put on the veiled cap, supported Qingyu's hand, got out of the carriage, and walked to the hospital together.
The people who came to watch the excitement saw her back, and they all commented on who this girl from the Hou Mansion was. She seemed to be kind-hearted and very personable, and she was a rare good friend. Girl, she is a different person from the former second girl of Huguohou's Mansion.
Not to mention that the people outside were discussing a lot, and the discussion had been unable to reach a conclusion. There were a few clever people who saw the coachman standing in front of the carriage and came over to inquire, only to find out that the person inside was actually the fifth girl from the Hou Mansion. He couldn't help but be amazed, as expected, different people have different styles, even though most of them are the daughters of the Hou family, their way of doing things is still completely different, this one looks good at first glance.
The matter of Ning Yuling was piled up in the front, and looking at the handling of the fifth girl now, there was a lot of discussion about the different upbringing of the girls in the Houfu.
"Doctor, please do your best to treat this mother-in-law. We will pay whatever you want." Ning Xueyan went inside and saw the old woman who was being supported to lie down. The doctor pleaded.
The doctor nodded, and after going up to treat the old woman, he frowned and touched the old woman's feet. Every time he touched the old woman's feet, the old woman screamed in pain, her face turned pale, it was obvious that she was really hurt leg bones.
"This girl, she may have hurt her foot, her muscles and bones have been hurt for a hundred days, and given her age, she will have to lie down for at least half a year before she can get up." The doctor stood up, frowning and said to Ning Xueyan.
This means that in the days to come, if the old woman cannot get up, someone must be by her side to take care of her.
"Grandma, do you have any relatives here?" Ning Xueyan nodded slightly, and turned to the old woman who was trying to sit up.
"I... I'm not a local." The old woman smiled wryly, because her forehead was sweating, Qingyu hurried over to help her, and she sat up smoothly.
"Grandma, you are not a local, what are you doing in the capital?" Qingyu asked with big eyes shining.
"I..." The old woman hesitated to speak, then sighed again, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"Grandma, what's the embarrassment, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it." Ning Xueyan comforted her softly, knowing that she had hit on her sad things.
While talking, two women dressed in the clothes of the Marquis of the Huguo came in at the door. When they came in, they saw Ning Xueyan, came over to salute, and said in a low voice: "Fifth Miss, the Tai Furen said that you must take care of this matter." Do not cause trouble."
Although what he said was not detailed, Ning Xueyan understood everything, smiled and nodded.
The Marquis of the Huguo's Mansion is ostentatious, not to mention that Ning Yuling had such a thing before, and the city was full of storms. Of course, Mrs. Tai didn't want Ning Xueyan to make such a thing again at this juncture, and lose the face of the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion. This meant that she had to settle the matter no matter what.
"Two mothers, this woman has injured her leg bone, but this woman has no relatives in the capital, so she needs to recuperate for at least a year or so, what should I do?" Ning Xueyan Deliberately embarrassing way.
"No relatives and no reason?" The two women were also taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect this to be the case, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.
Originally, Mrs. Tai ordered that no one is killed, as long as she pays more and satisfies others, then the matter will not become a big deal. You can't let her be thrown outside like an orphan old woman, it will damage the reputation of the Huguohou Mansion.
The two wives looked at each other, and immediately made a decision that Mrs. Tai was able to send the two of them, obviously thinking that they could solve the problem.
"Fifth girl, since this is the one, take her to the Hou's Mansion and let her recuperate in the Hou's Mansion. After she recovers or her family finds her, let's talk about other things?"
"Will grandma..." Ning Xueyan was quite worried.
"Fifth Miss, don't worry, Mrs. Tai, the old slave will go and explain clearly, and she will never embarrass Miss Wu." The two women knew that Ning Xueyan was worried about Mrs. Tai's displeasure, so they hurriedly explained with smiles that they are all auspicious blessings The old man in the garden has sharp eyes. The fifth girl now is not the fifth girl in the past, so she is still polite to her.
"Thanks to the two nuns, I will move her to Mingshuang Courtyard when the time comes, it's always my fault, I can't bother grandma anymore." Ning Xueyan insisted.
What she said was very reasonable, and people could hear Ning Xueyan's words of daring to take responsibility and unwillingness to trouble Mrs. Tai. The two nuns only nodded when they heard this, and also bumped into someone. The second girl refused to admit it , but the fifth girl handled it generously and convincingly, which made people feel good.
"Okay, the old slave will tell Mrs. Tai when the time comes, and tell Mrs. Wu that she has repeatedly asked to be resettled in Mingshuangyuan. This old slave will definitely tell Mrs. Tai about Miss Wu's painstaking efforts, and Miss Wu will just rest assured." A nanny nodded, and the three of them were standing beside them, sorting things out.
As long as you arrange people well, wait for them with delicious food and drink, and send some silver taels after a year and a half, this matter will be considered as a big deal. Smiling, a woman turned her head to look at the old woman sitting on the bed, and the two of them looked at each other in surprise.
"You...you're not..." The woman in Xiangfu Garden's face changed drastically in shock, she pointed at the old woman, and said in a trembling voice.
