"What …" "Lame..." The Xiao family only felt their vision go black. What Lian Shiya was most proud of was her beauty, but if there was something wrong with her foot, then … Her life was over.
When the news that they could not wear red due to the wedding spread, the nobles and nobles that usually waited for Shiya to come and propose marriage had already stopped in their tracks and began to ask about Lian Ruyue. If the news of her limp were to spread, no one would be interested in her anymore.
Furthermore, limping meant that she would not be able to leave her room. If she did, she would be pointed at and would no longer be able to dance. If that happened, her beautiful figure would no longer be able to stretch.
"Lame..." Lame... "How could that be? I was just slightly injured, how could it …" Lian Shiya looked at her red and swollen ankle as she thought about the same question as the Xiao Clan.
"Doctor Lu, you treat me. Hurry up and treat me, I can't be a cripple, I can't be a cripple, I don't want to become a cripple, I still want to dance, I'm currently practicing the Rainbow Skirt Dance, I still need to dance."
"Third Miss, this dance …" I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. In order to ensure that my legs don't become more deformed, it's best for Third Miss to lie down on the bed to rest and not go anywhere else. " Doctor Lu had been treating the Lian Family for a long time. He watched the Third Young Miss grow up. She used to be so smart, but now she had become like this. He sighed in his heart.
What...
Lian Shiya only felt that her entire body had turned into a dull gray. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.
"Doctor Lu, is there no other way?" No matter what, he did not wish to have a crippled daughter. Moreover, he had personally watched Shiya grow up, and when he was young, he had seen her look more than the direct daughter of Moon, so he had an extraordinary feeling about her. Even if she had disappointed him, he had always felt a bit more pity for her.
Doctor Lu continued, "This old and useless one will try his best. The Prime Minister might as well invite another famous doctor to take a look."
"No, no …" She was a person who pursued perfection in terms of appearance. If her foot was crippled, she would rather die, crying as she begged Lian Yanqing, "Father, quickly think of a way, you find the best doctor to treat me. Father, I beg you, I don't want to become a cripple, I don't want to …"
"Vile debt, ah, vile debt!" Even her mother sighed helplessly and shook her head. "Yanqing, think of a way. Could the imperial physicians of the palace please come and take a look at Third Young Miss?"
"What the hell is going on? Isn't there a thief here?" "How did you tie up Third Young Madam and beat her up like this!" Lian Yan Qing asked sternly.
"Master, you must uphold justice for our daughter! She didn't do anything, yet was beaten into such a state! She is the flesh and blood of our master! Someone must have done this on purpose to harm our daughter!" Mrs Xiao kneeled on the ground, enduring the pain from the whip marks on her body, grabbing onto Lian Yanqing's robe, crying as she cried.
"Father, Father, it's her! She, she, and she hit me together, breaking my legs! Kill them, kill them quickly, avenge your daughter, and vent your anger on your daughter! " The hatred in Lian Shiya's heart was enough to ignite into flames. She pointed at the cold brows below. Senior Servant Tai and the rest, she wished she could get up and tear this lowly slave apart immediately.
"Did you do it?" Old master, these are the people in the room of the eldest young mistress. It's clear, it's obviously the young miss taking revenge with her own hands! " Madam Xiao pointed at Lian Ru Yue and loudly accused her.
"I was so busy attending the empress dowager's birthday banquet at the palace that I didn't even know anything about it. Besides, my mother got mad because of the burglary, and if Imperial Physician Rong hadn't arrived in time, she would have slipped!" Why would I make such a mess of the house? "
At this moment, Senior Servant Tai tremblingly knelt down and said, "B-Master is clear, it's not about Eldest Miss, she doesn't know anything, it's because when the servants passed by her study, they saw two people sneaking out of her master's study. We told them to stop, but those two were anxious to escape, so they tied them up and beat them up, but the lights were dim, the ones who caught them were Third Miss and Senior Servant Zhen."
"You old slut, you clearly beat me up on purpose. Senior Servant Zhen and I have never entered father's study before, and it was you who used a gunny sack to cover me up. After a fierce beating, you threw me into the pool for the rest of the night! "You've made me look like this!" When Lian Shiya thought of her own feet, she broke down in grief and cried in Lady Xiao's arms.
"Ah, my lord..." We did see someone sneaking out of your study... "Once the sack's opened, it'll turn into Third Young Miss and Senior Servant Zhen …" Senior Servant Tai hastily explained.
"Nonsense! It was obvious that there was a thief who had not been caught for several days and had purposely caught Third Young Miss and Zhen mama and beat them up! This is a personal grudge, my lord, who gave these lowly maidservants courage to dare to lay a hand on a young mistress? " Hearing Senior Servant Tai's words, the Xiao family couldn't help but feel angry. Their words were swift and fierce and their faces were flushed red. They were so angry that their chests rose and fell.
Her daughter had become a cripple, and of those present today, she would not spare a single one of them!
A few people argued, causing Lian Yanqing to feel a headache. He asked the head guard at the door, Lian Tian, "Lian Tian, what's going on? How did a thief hurt the third girl to this extent? How did you become a head guard?" Being cried like this by the Xiao family, even Yan Qing felt increasingly angry. His heart also began to ache for Lian Shiya.
"Master, the security of the Prime Minister's residence has always been strict. This humble servant has been in charge of the house for ten years, but there has never been a thief." Master, the guard of the Prime Minister's residence has always been strict, this humble servant has never been inside the house for ten years, and no thief has ever appeared. Facing Lian Yanqing, Lian Tianyun calmly explained.
This point was something that Lian Yanqing agreed with. With the heaven's ability and its dedication, there had been no problems with the guards of the Prime Minister's Estate these years. This made him feel at ease.
"Heavens!" Lady Xiao's face was deathly white. "You kept saying that there weren't any other thieves. Are you saying that Third Young Miss and Senior Servant Zhen were the thieves that snuck into Old Master's study?" So, was it right for her to be beaten up by these lowly maidservants? If you didn't clearly see who it was, then hit me. Is this what you should do as the head guard? "
Faced with Lady Xiao's scolding, Lian Tian nodded his head and calmly said, "Madam, guarding the Prime Minister's Estate is my duty. If there is a thief, I will capture him even if I have to escape from the Residence."
"You! Master... Look at these servants, they don't even put me and Ya'er in their eyes. They even broke Ya'er's legs, but they didn't have any regrets! You have to punish them, and don't let the people behind their backs go either. " Xiao Shi turned to speak to Lian Yanqing.
"Father, Senior Servant Tai and Senior Servant Lu only saw Third Sister and Senior Servant Zhen coming out of your study when it was said that they didn't encounter any thieves. Why don't you go to your study and take a look first to see if there's anything missing?" At this time, Lian Meng said from the side.
"Lian Tian, go take a look." Lian Yan Qing ordered with a frown.
"Yes, I will obey." Thus, Lian Tian and the butler went to Lian Yanqing's study.
"Wi-Madam, save, save me …" At this moment, Senior Servant Zhen, who was in so much pain that she was on the verge of death, called out. She trembled as her countenance turned as pale as paper. Only at this moment did the crowd notice that Senior Servant Zhen was also lying on the ground.
"Doctor Lu, let her have a look." Lian Mu's mother hinted.
"Yes." Doctor Lu then showed his gaze to Senior Servant Zhen. Senior Servant Zhen was in an even more miserable state. Two of her ribs were broken, and the back of her neck was slightly displaced. She could only lie there, waiting for the same cripple.
"So ruthless, so vicious, young miss!" Madam Xiao had lost her daughter in one night, as well as Senior Servant Zhen's most capable arm. This was adding fuel to the fire.
Lian Ruyue's face sank as she said, "What does it have to do with me!?"
"It's you, it's you, it's you! You hate me, that's why you thought of all sorts of ways to kill me!" Lian Shiya pointed at Lian Ruyue and said with a shrill voice.
"Third sister should first explain why you sneaked into father's study room in the middle of the night." Lian Ruyue coldly looked at the person on the ground and coldly snorted as she said.
"Alright!" Stop talking! " Even her mother frowned and stopped them all from talking.
"Take this old servant away first." Lian Yanqing said to the servants below.
"Yes." A few people walked over and quickly picked up Senior Servant Zhen. At this moment, one of the maidservants inadvertently pulled on Senior Servant Zhen's clothes, and with a 'pa' sound, a pill fell out from her sleeve and rolled on the ground.
"Eh, what is this?" Lian Meng squatted down and picked up the pill. He looked at it carefully and smelled it.
Suddenly, he felt his entire body tremble, his face turn red, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and his eyes became misty as water.
"The trick!" Lian Ruyue was the first to discover that there was something wrong with his hand. She hurriedly used her hand to knock out the pill in his hand.
His heart was beating fast. When he felt Lian Ruyue's hand on the back of his hand, he felt a strange throbbing in his heart. He took a step back.
"What's wrong? "My good grandson, this is …" Lian Lian Luo's mother saw that Lian Meng was suddenly bewitched, her face turned red as she hurriedly asked.
"No, it's fine, Grandmother." Lian Meng shook his head, picked up the tea beside him and gulped it down.
Lian Ruyue bent down and picked up the medicine, frowning and asking, "Doctor Lu, is there something wrong with this medicine? Just now, Lian Fu just took a few breaths before he became like this.
Doctor Lu took the pill, opened it up, and carefully examined it. Suddenly, his face flushed red and his hand trembled. He hastily covered the pill with a teacup.
"Doctor Lu, what is going on? Why are you in such a panic?" Lian Yan Qing asked when he saw that both Doctor Lu and Han Li had an abnormal reaction.
