An hour after breakfast, Zhulan was cutting eggplant strips with Li in the yard when the gate opened.
Zhulan watched speechlessly as Wang Ru was carried into the yard by the guards with blood all over her head. Yao Zheyu apologized and said, "My carriage hit this girl. There are only women next door. It's not convenient for me to go over there. I can only bring her here. Sorry to bother you, Madam Xiucai."
Zhulan pulled the corner of her mouth, she really didn't want to get involved, but with Yao Zheyu's identity, she couldn't refuse. She smiled dryly and signaled the guard to carry Wang Ru into the main hall and put her on a chair. Anyway, she didn't allow Wang Ru to enter the house, not her house, nor her daughter's. "Put the two chairs together and put them on the chair first."
Fortunately, the chairs at home have no armrests, and Wang Ru can fit together.
Then he said to Li, "Go to the next door and call Wang Rong over. Remember to bring a quilt to cover Miss Wang so that she won't get caught in the wind in the main hall."
Yao Zheyu, “… … ..”
He had already inquired about the neighbors. Wang Ru had long lost her reputation. If it weren't for his status, Zhou Xiucai's wife would not have let him in through the door. She looked at him with disdain and only let him sit on the chair, not even letting him into the house.
Zhulan would not give in without limits. Even small people have bottom lines, and she knows her limits. Wang Ru has long lost her reputation, and Yao Zheyu must have changed his tactics towards Wang Ru. She doesn't have to worry about offending Yao Zheyu with such a small matter.
Zhulan looked at Wang Ru's forehead and took a breath of cold air. Wang Ru was really ruthless in her attempt to scam someone. The cut on her head was quite big. If the guards hadn't carried hemostatic drugs with them to stop the bleeding on her forehead, it would be hard to say whether Wang Ru could survive.
Yao Zheyu sat on one side, tapping his palm with the fan in his hand. He had investigated Wang Ru thoroughly and knew that Wang Ru had resentment towards Shi Qing. He deliberately wandered around the village waiting for someone to come to him in person. Then he would gradually show his kindness and rescue Wang Ru, and slowly get useful information.
However, he had calculated everything but forgot about Wang Ru's temperament. She was so stupid. There were many opportunities to meet her by chance, but she had to bump into the carriage. The horses in the marquis' mansion were all retired war horses. Strangers had no chance of getting close. They were very vigilant. They were not docile horses. If the guards had not been good at their skills, the horse would have kicked the fool to death. All his efforts would have been in vain.
He regretted taking it step by step. It would have been better to just kidnap the person directly after finding out. As for whether he could explain clearly, his answer was very brief. There were many tortures, and he didn't believe he could withstand it. It was a little late to kidnap him now. His stepmother must know his whereabouts. Shi Qing would be alerted and he would miss the opportunity.
Zhulan didn’t know what was going on in the male protagonist’s mind, but she was not at peace anyway. The Three Character Classic had even come out. It was such a trap. Why did they all gather at Zhou’s house? They were really all gathered together!
When Zhao heard the noise, she had already carried Yu Shuang back to the house, and Xue Han also left. Only Zhu Lan and the eldest and second brothers were left in the main hall.
Xiao Si stared, why didn't the scholar's wife mention finding a doctor? Seeing that the girl's face was pale and a little blue, he was really scared. He glanced at the scholar's wife who looked bad. What the young master did was really unkind. If someone died in the scholar's house, it would be unlucky. The scholar's wife must have been so angry that she forgot to find a doctor.
Xiao Si didn't want the young master to be responsible for someone's death and leave a handle, "Young master, the girl is not feeling well, it's better to find a doctor to check it out."
Yao Zheyu glanced at Wang Ru, and thought that being stupid was valuable. "Go to the county quickly to invite the best doctor. Tell the doctor about the situation and ask him to bring all the medicine so that he won't have to run back and forth and waste time."
Xiao Si also knows some medical skills. He just took the patient's pulse and talked to the doctor. He should be able to prescribe the right medicine.
Xiao Si has followed the young master since he was a child. The calmer the young master's tone, the worse his mood became. "Yes."
Zhulan was not afraid of Wang Ru's death. It was said that a scourge would last for a thousand years, and Wang Ru would not be a cannon fodder so easily. If she really had to be a cannon fodder, she would not mind it, but would be happy instead!
Li came back with Wang Rong and Wang Xin, followed by Zhang Sanni.
Wang Xin came in trembling, wiped her tears and threw herself on Wang Ru's body, "What happened to my sister? Why is she bleeding so much?"
Li got angry when she heard this and retorted, "I told you the reason more than once. Who are you crying for now? Who are you asking again?"
The crying is so fake, it's disgusting to watch!
Zhulan, "... ..."
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would have laughed. Li's retort was good. It made her depressed mood better. He was honest and upright, and was good at dealing with pretty girls.
Wang Xin's voice was cut off and her stage was ruined. She couldn't cry anymore. Her face turned blue and white, and she didn't know what to do.
Li looked down on Wang Xin the most. She was pretentious and disgusting. Li still remembered that the young master of the Marquisate was there. When she saw her mother winking at her, she immediately stood behind her and whispered, "Mom."
Zhulan patted Li's fat hands. After a week of supplementation, Li had gained weight again. "Yeah."
Wang Xin stole a glance at the young master sitting on the side, her heart beating wildly. Young Master Shi was incomparable to the young master of the Marquis's Mansion. The young master of the Marquis's Mansion had a stern face and exuded nobility. He held a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sister's forehead. He tilted his head and said, "Mrs. Xiucai, why don't you let my sister go into the room to lie down, but let her blow the wind in the main hall instead? My sister's health is not good to begin with, what if she gets sick?"
There was sarcasm in Zhulan's eyes. Wang Xin had really grown up and was now plotting against her. Li was furious. Her mother-in-law often used the room next door to teach her a lesson. Even though she was stupid, she could see through Wang Xin's plan and was so angry that she wanted to step forward.
When Li wanted to speak up, Zhulan felt warm in her heart, thinking that her love for Li was not in vain. She stopped Li and signaled her not to speak.
Li stood up obediently. The anger in her eyes disappeared. Instead, she looked gloating. Her mother-in-law was the most difficult person to deal with in the family. Wang Xin had picked the wrong person.
Zhulan drank her tea leisurely, and waited until Wang Xin's eyes were filled with resentment before she slowly said, "Why don't you let me in? Don't you know?"
Wang Xin's back froze, and he bit his lip and evaded the question: "My sister is injured, and human life is at stake. Madam Xiucai, don't you think that this is too cruel?"
Zhulan thought to herself that more women mean more trouble. Wang Xin's brain seemed to have opened up, and her house fighting skills had been activated. She said with a half-smile, "If I were really cruel, I should not have let you in just now, and I would not have asked Li to ask you to bring quilts. In the end, you sisters didn't listen at all and didn't even bring quilts. What a deep sisterly love!"
Wang Xin was stunned and turned back suddenly, "Second sister, didn't you bring a blanket?"
Wang Rong was so disgusted that he leaned over to apologize: "Sister, you are talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart, Madam Xiucai. You are well-known for your kindness in the village. Just look at your two sisters-in-law and you will know that there is no better mother-in-law in the village than Madam Xiucai."
Zhulan wanted to continue to tear Wang Xin's skin and bring up the reputation issue, but looking at Wang Rong, a rare smart girl, there were many people watching the excitement at the gate, and she couldn't bear to involve Wang Rong in and be scolded by the women in the village. Wang Rong had worked hard to earn a little reputation. "Wang Ru applied medicine to stop the bleeding and has already gone to find a doctor. Go back and get a blanket to cover yourself to avoid catching a cold."
Wang Rong was extremely grateful. Grandma Zhou did not hold on to him and said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam Xiucai. I will go back and get the quilt now."
Yao Zheyu acted as a background board. It was not appropriate for him to speak at this time, but he watched a drama, which really opened his eyes. There were also talented people in house fighting in a small village. However, he also had a new respect for Zhou Xiucai's wife. She never talked nonsense and her words were to the point. She also had good intentions!
