Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 68 Wan'er's Fault
The first night Xie Qingli returned to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion was a chaotic one, destined to be a sleepless night.
But in a moment, the news of the movement in Li'an Garden spread throughout the mansion, and the masters of each courtyard got up and rushed to Li'an Garden.
Yingxueju was the closest, and Jiang Muxue arrived first. The sight of the scarlet blood in the room made her heart tighten. She suddenly felt difficulty breathing and her legs went weak. With the help of Nanny Yan, she barely moved to the bed. She hugged Xie Qingli and after a careful examination, her heart gradually calmed down. She was really afraid that something would happen to her daughter who had just been lost and found!
When Xie Jingyuan and Qin Bitong came together, Jiang Muxue was looking at the two injured people on the ground with a gloomy face. Her eyes were as cold as iron, and she said sternly: "My lord, why did these two people come to Li'er's bedroom with knives tonight? You must give me an explanation, otherwise, I will not let you off easily!" After that, she and the maids helped Xie Qingli back to Yingxueju.
Qin Bitong saw her two daughters covered in blood, her eyes bloodshot. She threw herself to the ground, crying loudly: "Rou'er, Wan'er, my children, how could you, how could you do this? Xie shouldn't be the one injured..."
Xie Qingrou was still conscious. She pulled Qin Bitong tightly and interrupted her words in time. She endured the pain and said, "Mother, don't say that. Save us!"
Qin Bitong finally found her backbone. She quickly turned to look at Xie Jingyuan and cried, "Yuanlang, please call a doctor and save our daughter!"
The scene before him was beyond Xie Jingyuan's expectations. His face darkened and he sternly ordered the servant to call a doctor. He also ordered people to carry Xie Qingrou and Xie Qingwan back to Bixian Pavilion.
When Xie Qingqi, Xie Qingyao and others arrived at the gate of Li'an Garden, they happened to see the horrifying scene of Xie Qingrou and Xie Qingwan covered in blood being carried out of the courtyard.
Xie Qingqi leaned blankly in An's arms, gently stroking the swollen cheek under the veil. She was extremely angry that she could not avenge the slap today, but now she was scared. Xie Qingli was really cruel. She would stay away from Xie Qingli from now on!
Xie Qingyao was also startled by the scene, but after a moment, she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. This was what Aunt Hua said about reaping the benefits while sitting back! Such a huge conflict had occurred in less than a day. She was looking forward to the follow-up of the matter!
In Songhe Hall, Madam Xie rested for half a day, feeling slightly better, but the pain from the whip wound kept her awake. She knew it was her beloved son who had whipped her, but for his career, she had no choice but to endure the pain alone. She didn't ask, and everyone else tacitly kept quiet. Only when no one was around did Madam Xu quietly apply some medicine to her wound.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Madam Xie finally fell asleep, but Nanny Xu woke her up in a hurry. What happened in Li'an Courtyard was too serious, so Madam Xie naturally needed to come out and take charge of the situation.
When Old Madam Xie arrived at Bixian Pavilion in a sedan chair, the doctor invited by Xie Jingyuan was treating Xie Qingrou and Xie Qingwan in the bedroom. Qin Bitong was guarding them, wailing heartbrokenly.
After waiting for half an incense stick of time, the doctor came out of the inner room and said in a deep voice, "Master Xie, the girl with the injured arm is less seriously injured and will recover after a period of rest. The girl with the abdominal injury is in a critical condition. I am really unable to help her. Master Xie, please find a way to summon the imperial physician!"
After the doctor left, Madam Xie's face darkened. She asked in a cold voice, "Jingyuan, what on earth is going on tonight? Why did they appear in Li'an Garden in the middle of the night?"
Xie Jingyuan was also confused, and he hurriedly called Qin Bitong out.
Qin Bitong had already burst into tears, and her hoarse voice could not utter a complete sentence. She felt a little regretful that she had lost her mind during the day and made such a rash and reckless decision, but she hated Xie Qingli even more for being so cruel and ruthless. She was determined to make Xie Qingli pay for his blood with blood!
Overhearing the conversation outside, Xie Qingrou hurried out of the inner room, her sleeves rolled up high, revealing a wound bandaged with cotton cloth. Her eyes were red and her hair was disheveled. She bowed slightly to Old Madam Xie and Xie Jingyuan, choking with sobs, "Grandma, Father, everything that happened tonight is Wan'er's fault!"
Xie Qingrou's words shocked the three people present. Qin Bitong stopped crying and looked at Xie Qingrou in shock. What was Rou'er going to do? Why didn't she bite out Xie Qingli?
She stepped forward and frantically pulled Xie Qingrou, shouting, "Rou'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You and Wan'er are injured, but Xie Qingli is unharmed. It must be her doing. She stabbed you two!"
Xie Qingrou was secretly annoyed at her mother's stupidity. Her mother had a limited vision and always thought that her father was a marquis with great powers. As long as she was favored by her father, she could do whatever she wanted in the marquis' mansion.
But who was Jiang Muxue, and who was the Jiang family? Could they be so brazenly offended? If they pinned everything on Xie Qingli, how could they explain their presence in Li'an Courtyard? Could they be said to have intended to kill Xie Qingli, only to be killed instead?
Jiang Muxue demanded an explanation. If they could not give a reasonable reason, not only would their lives be in danger, not to mention continuing to stay in the Marquis' Mansion!
The only solution now is to put all the blame on Wan'er. Wan'er is seriously injured and cannot be saved anyway, so this way her death is a worthy one!
Thinking of this, Xie Qingrou shook her head vigorously. She argued with tears in her eyes, "No, Grandma, Father, and Mother are not telling the truth. It's all Wan'er's fault."
"Today was our first time at the Marquis' Mansion. Wan'er was so excited she couldn't sleep, so she decided to sneak out for a walk. To prevent her from getting into trouble, I chased her. When we reached Li'an Garden, Wan'er thought it was an empty courtyard, so she sneaked in to avoid being caught by me."
"I quickly chased her into Li'an Garden and grabbed Wan'er's sleeve to persuade her to come back, but she found me annoying and proposed a martial arts competition with me. If I won, she would come back with me. We first exchanged a few moves with our bare hands in the courtyard. Wan'er seemed not to find it exciting enough and suddenly rushed into the house."
"She quietly took out a dagger and hid in the darkness. When I entered the room, she reached out and stabbed me. Wan'er is very competitive. She might have just wanted to scare me off, but the room was too dark at the time. I casually stretched out my arm to block it, and she accidentally stabbed my arm."
"She felt blood and thought she had accidentally killed me, so she immediately stabbed herself. She probably felt so guilty that she wanted to end her life."
At this point, Xie Qingrou was already in tears. This was the most reasonable explanation she could come up with, and it was also the best way to cover up her stabbing of Wan'er!
However, she racked her brains but still couldn't figure out who had grabbed her wrist. She didn't notice any movement from Xie Qingli, and the hand with calluses on the palm was like an iron hoop around her wrist, as if it was a man's hand. Was there a fourth person in the room?
However, no matter what, Wan'er's sacrifice must be attributed to Xie Qingli, and she will get it back double in the future!
Old Madam Xie and Xie Jingyuan nodded, accepting Xie Qingrou's explanation. They knew that Xie Qingrou and Xie Qingwan had sneaked into Li'an Garden in the middle of the night with no good intentions, and they also knew that Xie Qingrou's words were full of loopholes, but this was the only explanation that saved everyone's face.
After an hour of tossing and turning, Madam Xie's body could no longer bear it and she took a sedan chair back to Songhe Hall. Xie Jingyuan continued to stay in Bixian Pavilion, comforting Qin Bitong and their two daughters.
……
The next day, before dawn, Xie Jingyuan got on the carriage yawning. The palace gates were locked at night, and he could not go to ask for the imperial physician. At this moment, he hurried to the palace and tried to get to the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible.
Xie Jingyuan didn't know yet that everything that happened in front of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion yesterday had spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and finally spread throughout the entire Shengjing City.
He also hadn't noticed that several carriages were quietly parked at the corner of the road outside the mansion gate. Hanging on those carriages were the Jiang family's emblems...
