After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 34

But in a moment, Yang Ruolan's face returned to its usual smiling look, as if the gloomy expression just now had never appeared.

Her tone was extremely sincere, her words filled with guilt. "I really didn't know about this matter, and Dong'er never came to my courtyard. After I ask him, I will definitely take him to my cousin's house to apologize. I hope Madam Zhang will tell my cousin not to be estranged from me because of this matter."

Nanny Zhang was not fooled by her outward cheerfulness. She nodded slightly, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, and said slowly: "Since Madam Bo said so, I will convey it to my wife. I just hope that Madam Bo will not break her promise and let the second young master come to apologize as soon as possible." After saying this, she bowed and turned to leave without waiting for Yang Ruolan to speak.

There was a loud "crash" sound.

Seeing Nanny Sang completely disappear, Yang Ruolan's smile instantly vanished, unable to suppress her rage any longer. Her face livid, her fury uncontrollable, she swiftly swept the white jade and blue-and-white porcelain vase from the table to the floor. The sound of the vase shattering was particularly piercing in the silent room, the fragments scattering everywhere, as if venting Yang Ruolan's anger.

The maids and servants were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, hanging their heads, afraid of offending the mistress. Yang Ruolan's chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with anger.

The maid who served Yang Ruolan personally hesitated for a long time, and finally stepped forward cautiously, wanting to clean up the broken porcelain pieces at her feet.

However, as soon as she got close, Yang Ruolan slapped her hard. The maid stumbled and fell to the ground, the scattered fragments piercing her flesh, and blood immediately spread out.

The maid screamed in pain, but did not dare to cry out loud. She could only hold back her tears and look at the furious Yang Ruolan in horror.

The other maids and servants around were even more silent, no one dared to step forward. Yang Ruolan looked at the injured maid on the ground and said coldly, "Go and invite the second young master.

"Yes, ma'am, a maid responded and prepared to go out.

At this time, Jing'an Earl Liu Gongquan walked in, saw the debris on the ground and the maid on the ground, and asked calmly: "What's going on?"

When Yang Ruolan saw Liu Gongquan, her expression changed slightly. She suppressed her anger and tried her best to make her tone calm: "Master, it's nothing serious, it's just that the maid accidentally broke something.

Liu Gongquan obviously did not believe her words. His gaze slowly swept over everyone and finally fell back on Yang Ruolan, his eyes full of questioning and scrutiny.

Yang Ruolan's heart tightened, knowing she couldn't hide it, so she had to briefly recount what had happened. After hearing this, Liu Gongquan remained calm and said, "Dong'er has already informed me of this matter, and I'm aware of it. It's getting late today, so you should go to bed early. Tomorrow, take Dong'er to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize. Don't be so naive."

After saying that, Liu Gongquan no longer paid any attention to Yang Ruolan and turned away.

Yang Ruolan, whose complexion had originally improved a lot because her husband was relieved, became ugly again when she saw Liu Gongquan just entered the yard and then turned away.

She said fiercely, "Bitch, you have been monopolizing the master. When this matter is settled, I will make you pay."

Another compartment.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Luo Shuiyao was helped into her own yard, followed closely by the doctor.

The Marquis's wife sat beside the bed, staring at the doctor nervously, and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the injury serious?" The doctor felt Luo Shuiyao's pulse and exhaled slowly, "It's fine, just a slight sprain and a bit of a shock. I will prescribe a medicine, and Madam will arrange for someone to boil it for the young lady to drink.

As for the ankle injury! I have some medicinal wine here to treat bruises. Have a strong maid or servant massage it three times a day. Remember to rub your hands warm before massaging. In a few days, the young lady will be back to full strength.

When the Marquis' wife heard the doctor say there was nothing wrong, she finally felt relieved.

But then she seemed to recall something, and asked, "Will her injuries leave scars?" The doctor stood up and replied respectfully, "Madam, you're worrying too much. Those are just minor abrasions. With the application of scar-removing ointment, they'll be gone in a month at most."

After hearing this, the lady finally felt relieved. She stood up and said to the doctor, "Thank you, Doctor Hua."

Doctor Hua bowed respectfully to her and said, "Madam, there is no need to thank me. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is my duty."

The Marquis's wife smiled and said to the maid beside her, "Cuizhu." The maid understood and took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to the doctor. "This is a gift from my wife. I hope you won't despise it, Doctor Hua."

Doctor Hua was a renowned physician in the capital, frequently treating the illnesses of these wealthy families, so he was no stranger to such treatment. He reached out to take the purse and said, "Then I will take my leave." The Marquis's wife nodded slightly, motioning Cuizhu to follow the doctor and fetch the medicine.

Luo Shuiyao lay pale on the bed. Her dusty clothes had long been changed, and she was now only wearing a midriff. Her arms, hands, and feet were all wrapped in gauze, making her look even more pitiful.

The Marquis's wife stepped forward, gently stroked her hair, and said, "Aunt, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would be dead or injured today."

Luo Shuiyao smiled shyly, "Aunt, please don't talk nonsense. You are so gentle and kind, you will definitely live a long life. Today is just a coincidence."

The Marquis's wife took her hand and nodded with satisfaction. "Wait for Cuizhu to bring the medicine. You can boil it and drink it, then go to bed early. I'll have the maid bring food to your room for the next few days. When you're well, come to the dining hall to eat with us."

Luo Shuiyao nodded obediently, staring at the Marquis's wife with her big round eyes without blinking.

The Marquis's wife laughed dumbly, "Go to sleep quickly. I'll have Nanny Sun bring you some clothes and jewelry tomorrow." Luo Shuiyao nodded again obediently, "Then I won't keep you any longer, aunt. You've been frightened today, so go back and get some rest."

The marquis's wife nodded slightly, gave some instructions to the maids and servants serving in the courtyard, and then left her courtyard.

Next door, Qiuliyuan.

Lu Zhaozhao sat at the table with a gloomy expression, radiating a chill. Hongying stood beside her, softly admonishing, "Miss, that peasant girl was just a coincidence. We will never let her get such an advantage next time."

Lu Zhaozhao snorted coldly, "Hmph, a village girl actually dares to compete with me for the title of cousin of the Marquis' Mansion, and even dares to compete with me for my aunt's favor. She really wants to die. How did you do with the thing I asked you to do last time?"

Seeing that her young lady's expression had eased considerably, Hongying quickly said, "It's already being done."

Lu Zhaozhao frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why are they so slow? Tell them to hurry up."

Hongying said respectfully, "Yes, Miss."
