A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After great efforts, the adjutant carried Miss Shen onto his shoulders and walked down the mountain, staggering step by step, risking his life. Gui'er, Sally and Sha Yanyao also came down from the mountain. Several people took a car to take her to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Gui'er wanted to call the Marshal's residence to inform him, but Sha Yanyao said, "Don't worry, wait until the doctor has finished treating her and see how the situation is."

Sha Lili said, "Yes, yes, let's see the situation first." Then she pulled Guier to sit on the bench in the corridor and wait for the doctor's news.

After waiting for over an hour, the foreign doctor finally came out and said to Sha Yanyao, "When this girl fell, she was face down and used her hands to support herself, so now both her hands are broken. Her body isn't seriously injured, just a few scratches. The most serious injury is to her head. One of her eyes was stuck in a rock, and the injury is quite serious. Whether it will affect her vision depends on follow-up observation. The brain was also hit, but the bleeding has stopped. The patient is still in a coma, so we have to wait until she wakes up to see if there are any consequences later."

Gui'er was at a loss at this time. Sha Lili didn't say anything. After listening to the doctor, Sha Yanyao nodded and said, "Thank you, doctor."

Then he turned to Gui'er and Sally and said, "We've been busy for so long, you must be hungry, right? Let's go have lunch first."

Gui'er thought, shouldn't she call his family first? She opened her mouth and was about to say something when Sha Lili secretly pinched her lower back. Gui'er saw that she was secretly winking at her, and although she didn't understand, she held back and said nothing.

Sha Yanyao took them to a restaurant and asked for a private room. His adjutant also joined them, and the four of them ate lunch in silence. Afterward, Sha Yanyao said, "It's still unclear how serious Miss Shen's injuries are. Director Shen is our honored guest, and he holds a high position of authority. We must be cautious. Regarding what happened today, we should all say that Miss Shen accidentally fell."

Gui'er was a little confused. Why did she specially take them out for a meal and then say such a thing? As she thought about it, she suddenly felt terrified.

Gui'er recalled the time when Sha Yanyao and Miss Shen were talking. After Miss Shen rejected Sha Yanyao, the atmosphere between them was still friendly. Later, Miss Shen mentioned Sha Yanxiao, and the conversation suddenly stopped. After that, Gui'er and Sally came out from the other side and walked over. Miss Shen was no longer at Wangjiang Pavilion. Apart from Sha Yanyao, there was no one else at the scene. Could it be...

Gui'er didn't dare to think about it.

Sha Lili said very obediently: "I understand, brother, just do as you say."

Sha Yanyao nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Guier.

Gui'er reacted and quickly said, "I see, brother, you are right."

Afterwards, the group returned to the hospital and happened to meet the doctor walking out of the ward with a nurse. The doctor happily said, "The patient has woken up."

Sha Yanyao walked quickly into the ward, and Guier and Sally followed behind.

Miss Shen was lying on the hospital bed, pale and listless. She looked a little dazed when she saw them come in. Sha Yanyao walked up to her and said, "Feng Shu, how are you feeling?"

Miss Shen said blankly: "Where am I?"

Sha Lili quickly said, "Miss Shen, you slipped and fell off the cliff. Remember? It was my brother and the others who rescued you."

Miss Shen touched her head and said weakly to Sha Yanyao, "Thank you so much."

Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of you. You should rest. I will go back and inform your parents and arrange someone to take care of you." Then he was about to leave with Gui'er and Sally.

"Hey." Miss Shen called out, and everyone turned around. She felt a little embarrassed and kept silent.

Gui'er thought for a moment and said to Sha Yanyao, "Miss Shen is injured. She might not be feeling very safe being alone in an unfamiliar environment. How about we call Huli first and ask them to send someone over, and then we can leave."

Sha Yanyao suddenly understood and said with a smile: "You are thoughtful. I will call her right away. You guys stay here with her first." Then he went to find a phone.

Gui'er and Sally sat next to Miss Shen and comforted her.

After a while, Sha Yanyao returned and said, "The government has been notified. So, adjutant, please send them back first. I'll wait here for them to send someone over."

The adjutant drove Guier and Sha Lili back to the Marshal's residence.

As soon as they returned to the Marshal's residence, the Fourth Concubine and Sha Yanxiao were standing at the gate to greet them. The adjutant was startled and hurriedly parked the car. He got out and ran to Sha Yanxiao, saluted, and said, "The young marshal's subordinates are not doing their job well..."

Sha Yanxiao said, "Forget it, you don't want to do this either, go back and rest."

Then Sha Yanxiao walked up to Gui'er, looked her over carefully, and confirmed that she had no injuries before saying, "I was so scared when my brother called me back. Are you okay?"

Gui'er shook her head and said, "No." Although she had many questions in her mind, it was not convenient to say them here.

Next to her, the fourth concubine was holding Sha Lili in her arms, yelling exaggeratedly, "My sweetheart, are you okay? If anything happens to you, how can I live?"

Sha Lili also comforted her and said, "Mom, I'm fine."

After that, they went back to their respective courtyards.

As soon as Gui'er returned to the courtyard, she wanted to tell Sha Yanxiao what happened when they were climbing the mountain, but then she remembered that Sha Yanxiao said there were his wife's spies in the courtyard, so she had to wait patiently.

Sha Yanxiao had asked the kitchen to prepare calming tea. After drinking it, he asked Dingxiang to help her change clothes. Guier said it was not necessary and she usually changed herself.

But Sha Yanxiao said, "You are tired, let her help you."

Gui'er had no choice but to ask Dingxiang for help. After entering the bedroom, Dingxiang smiled and said, "Master actually wants me to see if you have any injuries."

After hearing this, Gui'er suddenly realized and was deeply moved.

After changing clothes, they came to the hall again. Ding Xiang reported to Sha Yanxiao, "Master, the young lady is not injured."

Sha Yanxiao nodded and said, "I understand. You can go down."

Seeing that everyone had left, Gui'er quickly sat down next to Sha Yanxiao and whispered to him, "Brother Yanxiao, let me tell you, Miss Shen's death is most likely not an accident." Then she told him what had happened and the doubts in her mind.

Sha Yanxiao frowned after hearing this, then sighed and said, "It seems the young master is still unwilling to accept it. Fortunately, he handled the follow-up well. Besides, Miss Shen can't remember what happened at that time. Director Shen is an important figure in the central government. If my brother really did such a thing and her parents found out, our family would be finished."
