Chapter 168 The Scarred Li'er
The carriage rushed to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion without stopping. At the same time, Xie Bian also quickly went to the palace to invite the imperial physician. After arriving at the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, Shi Liu held Jiang Li and flew into the mansion. Although the servant at the door was not clear about the specific situation, he immediately realized that something was wrong when he saw the master, the third young master and the cousin young master were all there. Looking at the person in Shi Liu's arms, it must be the young lady, after all, the young lady went out with the third young master in the morning.
At this time, Xie Ci called the servant and asked him to inform the lady of the news that the young lady was injured. Seeing that Shi Liu had entered the mansion, the servant hurried to the main courtyard. In the main courtyard, Xie Lan was sitting on the couch and suddenly felt panic in her heart. She quickly put her hand on her chest and turned to look at Su He, the head maid beside her.
"Su He, didn't Bu Er and Li Er say they wouldn't be back at noon?"
"Madam, you forgot. Miss said before that she wanted to invite Miss Murong to go to Liweilou together." Su He said as he poured a cup of tea for Xie Lan.
"Yes, look at my memory, how could I forget. But I don't know why, my heart suddenly feels a little nervous at this moment!" Xie Lan frowned and muttered to himself.
Su He comforted Xie Lan again before she felt relieved. At this time, the servant at the door ran in quickly.
"Madam, Madam, the young lady is injured. Shi Liu has already carried her back to Xiangya Garden." The servant was running breathlessly, his voice trembling. It was obvious that he had run all the way here so fast that he didn't even care about basic etiquette.
When Xie Lan heard this, her face turned pale instantly, her body shook violently, and she almost lost her balance. She widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.
"What happened? Aren't you going to Liweilou? How did you get hurt?" Xie Lan asked anxiously, her voice full of worry and confusion. As she spoke, she walked out the door impatiently.
"I don't know the details. My cousin just said he came to inform you." The servant replied panting, his face full of panic. After saying that, he turned around and ran to the eldest master's courtyard and passed the same news to Jiang Xing. With Yuanchu's support, Jiang Xing also hurried to Xiangya Garden.
When the mother and son arrived at Xiangya Garden, Xie Bian had already rushed to the gate of Xiangya Garden with the imperial physician. When they saw Xie Lan and Jiang Xing, they immediately went forward to greet them.
"Father, what's going on?" Xie Lan asked Xie Bian anxiously, her eyes revealing deep worry.
"Lan'er, don't worry. Let the imperial physician check Li'er's injury first." Xie Bian pulled the imperial physician into Jiang Li's room.
Everyone was in a very heavy mood, with worry on everyone's face, they were worried about whether Jiang Li's injury was serious. The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone was quietly waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.
At this time, Jiang Li fainted again while Shi Liu was holding her. Everyone watched this scene with bated breath, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
The imperial physician lowered his head and frowned, carefully checking Jiang Li's pulse. His expression was serious and focused. Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone's mood became more and more nervous. Finally, after a long time, the imperial physician's brows gradually relaxed, and he seemed to have some conclusions. Then, he carefully examined the wounds on Jiang Li's forehead and ankles, and then turned to Jiang Taifu and Xie Bian and said, "My Lord, Taifu, the patient was frightened, but the injuries on his body are not serious. They are all superficial injuries, and there is no damage to the inside. I will prescribe a few prescriptions. As long as you take them on time, you will recover in a few days." After speaking, the imperial physician gently stroked his beard.
Then, the doctor stood up, walked to the round table and sat down, and began to write the prescription. While writing, he explained in detail to the maidservant beside Jiang Li how to decoct the medicine and how to take care of the patient.
Xie Bian and Master Jiang quickly stood up and thanked the doctor. Xie Ci escorted the doctor out of the house. Seeing that the doctor had finished his consultation, Xie Lan immediately sat down by the bed and took Jiang Li's hand distressedly, tears streaming down her face. She wondered what had happened to her beloved daughter that she was injured.
"What happened? Why was Li'er injured?" Xie Lan looked at Shi Liu.
Shi Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed guiltily, "Madam, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I failed to protect the young lady. She fell into the trap and was kidnapped by the bad guys." After saying this, Shi Liu kowtowed continuously, and blood was oozing from her forehead.
"Alright, stop knocking! You're not the only one at fault. We are all at fault. We shouldn't have left Li'er alone." Murong Xue looked at Xie Lan with the same guilt. Jiang Bu was kneeling on the ground without saying a word. The Jiang family's motto is "If it's wrong, it's wrong. There's no explanation!"
"Lan'er, why hasn't Li'er woken up yet?" Murong Xue asked worriedly.
"It's okay, she's just too tired and needs to rest." Xie Lan comforted.
"It's all my fault. If I had been with Li'er at that time, this wouldn't have happened." Murong Xue said self-reproachfully.
"It's not your fault. No one expected something like this to happen." Xie Lan patted Murong Xue's shoulder.
"But Li'er is seriously injured now. What if he has any sequelae?" Murong Xue became more and more scared the more she thought about it.
"No, Li'er is a lucky person. Everything will be fine." Xie Lan said firmly.
"I hope so!" Murong Xue sighed.
"Old Third, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down, and think about what happened today!" Jiang Xing looked at Jiang Bu kneeling on the ground with a serious face, his heart full of helplessness and disappointment. As a tutor, he could not directly punish Shi Liu; and Murong Xue could not be touched. Therefore, all the responsibility could only be attributed to the carelessness of the Third.
"Yes, big brother." Jiang Bu stood up silently and walked towards the ancestral hall.
At the same time, Jiang Li, who was lying on the bed, was still drowsy, but the wound on her forehead had been bandaged. The white gauze set off her pale face, which made people feel pity.
After a while, Jiang Li slowly opened her eyes and looked at the people in the room with a confused look. She tried hard to recall what happened, and finally remembered that she fell into a trap and was then kidnapped by the hateful fat man.
"Grandfather, father, mother, elder brother, and sister Mu, I'm sorry to have worried you." Jiang Li tried to smile while enduring the pain. Her understanding moved everyone present.
"My child, are you in pain? I've asked Chuntao to boil some medicine. You won't feel any pain after you drink it." Xie Lan looked at her daughter distressedly, tears already soaking her cheeks. Her hands were shaking, and she didn't even dare to touch Li'er's wound.
After a while, Chuntao came in carefully carrying a bowl of black medicine. Xie Lan quickly took the bowl, gently lifted Jiang Li up, and let her lean on him. He scooped up a little medicine with a spoon, blew it gently to cool it, and then carefully brought it to Jiang Li's lips and slowly poured it into her mouth. Spoonfuls of medicine were sent into Jiang Li's mouth, and each sip was filled with deep concern and love.
After a while, Jiang Li's face gradually regained some color, but still looked pale and weak. She frowned slightly, as if in some pain. Xie Lan looked at her distressedly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, you'll be fine soon." Jiang Li heard his voice, forced a smile, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing this, everyone felt relieved. They walked out of the inner room and came to the outer room.
"Where is Xie Ci? Has he been caught?" Jiang looked at Xie Ci again.
Xie Ci said with some guilt that the person was taken away by the Regent's secret guards. Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows when he heard that. There was no need to worry. Because if he fell into the hands of the Regent's secret guards, he would be skinned alive.
Jiang Xing frowned and said seriously: "What do grandpa and father think should be done with the people on that farm? What about the Liu family behind them?" He was very worried that if this matter was not handled properly, it would have a negative impact on Li'er's reputation.
At this time, Shi Liu came out from the inner room. She said firmly, "Master, please rest assured. No one who knows the truth of this matter will be left alive!"
After hearing this, Xie Bian couldn't help but frowned and asked worriedly: "Will this cause any trouble? After all, we have to consider the consequences."
Shi Liu raised her head, looked at Xie Bian firmly, and replied in a resolute tone: "Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely avenge the young lady!" After that, she knelt down again to show her determination.
