A cicada chirping in the night.
Since the heavy rain, the weather had become hotter every day. Ye Jinsu was kneeling on the hot stone floor, her knees numb from the pain.
If he had moved earlier, he would have been in extreme pain. Now, it was as if he had lost his knee, and even the pain could no longer be felt.
Lil 'Red was holding an umbrella above Ye Jinsu's head as it watched a bunch of maids hanging white cloths and flowers in the yard. The candles and paper money were sent into the mansion one by one. After working until nightfall, the entire courtyard was finally prepared.
Carrying Si Xiang's coffin into the main hall meant that everything was ready.
She had made her preparations in a hurry, but she had not missed the main point. The old lady was very satisfied.
The post was sent out yesterday. They were all close relatives and there weren't many people. As matters stood, this was all the old lady could do.
The moon hung high in the sky.
The main hall was quietly changed into a plain pickaxe, the long white cloth looked terrifying under the moonlight. Little Red was shivering a little. She grabbed Ye Jinsu's hand and shrunk her shoulders.
"Little... "Miss," Xiao Hong said with a trembling voice, its eyes staring unwaveringly at the coffin. "Miss, look at that coffin …"
"How strange."
Ye Jinsu couldn't help but laugh.
"You've even been to the unmarked cemetery, are you afraid of a coffin now?"
Xiao Hong quivered. Ye Jinsu seemed to have figured it out after hearing that. She straightened her back and looked at it a few more times. It still felt strange, so Xiao Hong shrank back.
Would everything change after tonight?
Ye Jinsu thought to herself as she looked at the crescent moon. Soft rays of light poured down from the sky, shining on her eyes and covering her face with a layer of soft light.
"Little Red." Ye Jinxiu suddenly said.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Little Red did not understand.
"Say, do you think the Xie Clan will do anything else?" Ye Jinsu had her eyes closed. It was unknown if she was thinking or worrying.
I wonder how is it with Hong Yun.
Xiao Hong pondered for a moment and said angrily, "I feel that master will definitely not be willing to punish Madam."
Ye Jinsu opened her eyes, "That's right."
How could Ye Zhenzheng bear to punish the Xie family?
As long as the Xie Clan didn't poke their head into the sky, he would shoulder the burden for them.
"It doesn't matter." If so, she would help the Xie Clan and help her in bringing down the sky.
A sleepless night.
The girl from the Sunset Spring Garden had long since been waiting in the courtyard. The old servant by the Old Master's side came over with a lantern and a doctor behind him. "Eldest Miss, the Old Master said that you can get up now."
Ye Jinsu recognized her. She was someone who had served the Old Master for dozens of years.
Her legs had long since lost all feeling. She knelt for three days and three nights without any strength left in her. The maidservant lifted Ye Jinsu up and just as she straightened up a bit, she felt a heart-wrenching pain.
In a split-second, it was as if someone had dug up her bones to grind her flesh.
The doctor also came over to help her. Seeing how painful Ye Jinsu was, he contacted her and knelt down for three whole days. The doctor shook his head.
Even though Ye Jinsu was like this, Little Red wasn't feeling much better. The moment he stood up, he burst into tears and cried out.
After finally regaining his balance, Ye Jinsu panted heavily. She glanced at the old servant beside the old servant and said, "Could you please pass a message to grandfather for me?"
"Just say it. I'll have to trouble him to worry about that. I hope he won't let go of the murderer who killed Si Xiang." As he spoke, he limped in the direction of the Twilight Garden.
The late spring garden was too far from the main front yard. Ye Jinsu had walked less than a third of the way before her teeth began to tremble in pain, her knees were hot again, and the wound stuck to the fabric of her feet.
A warm liquid flowed down.
It must be blood.
When they arrived beside a fake mountain, Ye Jinsu signalled for them to stop and sat down on a giant rock. She really couldn't walk anymore.
Looking at the doctor, Ye Jinsu asked, "Do you have any medicines with you?"
The stiff doctor nodded. "Yes, yes."
Ye JinSu lowered her head and lifted her skirt bit by bit. The blood had already flowed down to her calf area, and there were several streams of bright red blood. It looked extremely shocking.
Ye Jinxiu clenched her teeth and continued to lift it until it reached her knees, where it was no longer moving. The area where the wound had been made was covered in blood and gore.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Jinsu spoke, "You are a doctor. What do you think we should do now?"
Who would have thought that the doctor would turn his head away and not look at Ye Jinsu at all? The doctor had turned his head when Ye Jinsu lifted her skirt.
Ye Jinsu sighed with a headache, "I'm severely injured right now. If you don't save me, my leg will be crippled."
"You are a doctor, and the doctor is kind. Don't tell me you want to see me lose both my legs?"
Although Ye Jinsu's words were serious, it wasn't impossible.
The doctor was stunned for a second before he put down his hand hesitantly. He then looked in Ye Jinsu's direction. He had lived for several decades and had practiced medicine for more than ten years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
However, that wound was indeed very serious.
The doctor took a quick glance before hurriedly taking off his medical case and stammering as he opened his mouth. His eyes were still avoiding the medicine box, not knowing where to put it. "M-miss, your injury is very serious, I will treat it for you."
Ye Jinsu looked worriedly at the flustered doctor. She was seriously suspicious of his medical skills and his age, yet he looked like he was visiting a clinic for the first time.
This was a fake mountain in the garden in the front yard, a remote place close to the wall. Some noises came from afar, and Ye Jinsu looked at the sky and realized that it was getting late.
Perhaps the guests had entered the venue.
Ye Jinsu looked at Xiao Hong, who was as unhappy as she was, and urged the doctor, "Hurry up, there'll be too many people in a bit."
The doctor took out two or three bottles and nodded.
Taking out one of the white bottles, the doctor said, "Miss's wounds must separate the clothes from the wound, but you must not act rashly. This is a bottle of medicine with anesthetic properties."
"I will sprinkle this powder on Miss's wounds. When I take out the material later, it won't hurt so much."
"In addition, Miss's wound is stuck to the cloth, if you forcibly tear it off, it will probably cause the wound to be even more difficult to heal. I need to get some clean water and clean the wound before I tear it off. "
As he spoke, the gray powder within the white porcelain bottle sprinkled down, and for a moment, there was no reaction.
"It will take some time for the powder to take effect. I'll go get some water first. Miss, please wait." With that, the doctor ran out.
Ye Jinsu let out a sigh and tightly held Little Red's hand. Little Red's tears couldn't stop flowing from the pain.
The ruckus outside was still the same, but there were no signs of their arrival. Ye Jinxiu gradually began to feel at ease. The powder from the wound also seemed to have some effect, and a slight feeling of numbness began to spread from the wound.
It didn't hurt so much.
Ye Jinsu finally let out a sigh of relief, leaned her back against the fake mountain rock and closed her eyes to rest.
"Miss Ye!"
Suddenly, a frightened male voice rang out. Mo Yu stood at the side and stared with wide eyes, "Miss, what happened?"
