Mrs. Lu felt her nose sour at his words and she nearly teared up again. "How is it alright? The blood from your back has even splattered all over the floor."
She then hastily said to Zi Yi, "Little Zi, hurry and leave with Jingye. Send him to the hospital and don't let his wound get infected."
Zi Yi nodded at Mrs. Lu. "Auntie, don't worry. With me around, nothing will happen to Ah Jing."
Following that, she supported Lu Jingye and walked away.
When they walked past Lu Jianlin, Lu Jingye glanced at him.
Lu Jianlin furrowed his brows and looked at him, but he did not say anything.
Zi Yi helped Lu Jingye out of the Lu Family's main gate. At this moment, those from the Dou Family were all anxiously waiting for her outside.
Lu Jingye's steps were slightly staggered as he walked out and when the Dou Family saw that Zi Yi was supporting him as they walked, they hastily went up and asked, "What happened to Little Lu?"
Zi Yi briefly told them what had happened.
The Dou Family members were shocked, surprised, and became very angry after hearing what she had said.
"To think that Patriarch Lu is so ruthless!"
However, at the thought that Lu Jingye did all these things for Zi Yi's sake, they felt somewhat gratified. In the end, all of them looked at him with a complicated gaze.
Lu Jingye's body shook at that moment. He was almost unable to support himself any further.
Zi Yi hastily helped him up and she said, "Ah Jing, hold on a little longer. I'll treat your injuries for you when we get back."
Lu Jingye responded with an 'ok'.
Dou Jingning spoke up. "Get Little Lu in the car first. Based on his current injuries, he's unable to sit and can only lie down on his stomach."
"That's right. I'll drive the car over right away."
Dou Yunhao left to get the car after having said that.
When the car arrived, Zi Yi asked, "Ah Jing, are you able to get in?"
Lu Jingye gave her a nod.
Dou Jingtong who was standing by the side looked at the inside of the car and said out of concern, "The space within the car is a little small. Little Lu won't be able to fit in comfortably."
"Then what should we do?" Dou Xiangling had only taken a peek at Lu Jingye's back and she still had lingering heart palpitations. With the wounds where his flesh was exposed, it gave off a painful feeling even just by looking at the sight of it.
"I'm fine." Lu Jingye still had that gentle expression. "I'll pay more attention when I get in."
Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, "Ah Jing, wait a minute. I'll remodel the car right away."
She immediately called out Shadow and under the Dou Family's surprised gazes, she directly increased the car space.
After she was done with it, Lu Jingye intended to get in the car.
However, his large movements caused his back to start bleeding again.
The sight was so shocking that the Dou Family members could not bear to look straight at it.
Dou Jingning said, "Little Lu, don't get in on your own. We'll carry you inside."
Lu Jingye did not reject their offer and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Several men of the Dou Family worked together and carried Lu Jingye into the car.
Following that, the car directly drove back to Zi Yi's villa.
It was already around 11 p.m at night and the housekeeper was waiting in the courtyard together with a group of helpers and robots.
The moment they saw the car driving in, the robots pushed the stretcher to the side of the car.
Zi Yi quickly alighted and gave orders. "Carry Ah Jing to the stretcher and be careful not to touch his back injuries. Bring him to the operating room at once."
The robots received her orders and one of them directly stretched its mechanical arm and lifted Lu Jingye up as he put him on the stretcher.
The Dou Family members gathered around her.
"Yiyi, is it possible for an operation to happen at your place?"
The First Madam looked at the half-conscious Lu Jingye and her brows were tightly knitted together due to worry.
"Yes, I have an operating room here."
She immediately gave orders to the robots. "Immediately make preparations."
She then spoke to the Dou Family members. "Uncle, Aunt, Cousins, you can go wait in the living room first. I'll operate on Ah Jing right away."
Having said that, she said to the housekeeper, "Please help me take care of them."
"Miss Zi, don't worry. I will take good care of your family members."
Zi Yi nodded her head and got one of the robots to push the stretcher as they strode towards the backyard.
All of them followed her.
When Zi Yi arrived in the backyard, she handed her phone to the housekeeper. "If Auntie Lu calls, tell her not to worry. It is a minor injury and I promise that he will have a complete recovery in two days."
The housekeeper knows of Zi Yi's capabilities and heeded her orders as he took the phone.
When everyone arrived at the middle of the backyard, Zi Yi had to head down to the basement and so, she went separate ways from them.
The housekeeper led all the Dou Family members to the living room.
Lu Jingye's injuries were indeed considered severe in other people's eyes. However, it was only a minor injury in Zi Yi's opinion.
Moreover, she had purchased plenty of medicinal ingredients from the black market some time ago. She had also been spending time extracting their medicinal properties when she was free.
What she had to do right now was to clean up the ripped clothes, flesh, and blood on his back.
She took a pill and gave it to Lu Jingye before she started.
"What's this?" Lu Jingye looked at the pill she had placed beside his lips and asked.
"This medicine can block your nerves and you won't feel any pain when I clean your wound."
Lu Jingye opened his mouth and ate the pill.
Zi Yi then started cleaning his wound. While cleaning, she said while fuming in anger, "Why did you let your grandfather whip you twenty times?"
She could not help but lose her temper after saying that and she poked his handsome face angrily.
Lu Jingye allowed her to act as she pleased as he explained. "If I didn't do that, Grandfather would be unable to explain to General Hank. I would also be unable to dispel Aisha's thoughts of marrying me."
Now that he had done this, the incident would soon spread to everyone. For the sake of the Alysseus Family's reputation, it was impossible for General Hank to let Aisha marry him now.
More importantly, without the status of the Lu Family's Second Young Master, no one would want to marry him in the future. He could also do many things which he could not have done with his original identity.
Zi Yi spent more than half an hour before she managed to clean all the wounds on his back. She looked at the whip lashes on his back and her anger surged forth once again.
"I'll add your name under my account book and family register later and let your grandfather understand the word regret."
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady whose cheeks were flushed due to anger and he gently coaxed her. "Yiyi, don't be angry. From now on, I'm yours. Aren't you happy?"
Zi Yi looked at him. He was already in such a condition and yet he still managed to say that. She felt her heart warm up, but she still maintained a taut expression and poked his cheeks with her fingers.
She still had lingering anger after poking and ended up stealing a few touches.
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady openly molesting him and traces of a smile surfaced in his eyes.
Following that, Zi Yi applied the medicine for him.
The medicine she developed was particularly effective. A transparent ointment was soon spread all over his back and his wounds started to heal and scab.
Zi Yi thought of the Dou Family members who were still waiting for her in the living room and said, "You have to lie down on your stomach the whole night so that all your wounds can scab by tomorrow. I'll go check up on my uncles first and then I'll come back later."
"Alright."
