Jiang Xiyu looked at them and tried hard to suppress the upward smile on her lips.

As if not bothering with them, she said with concern, "It seems that my cousin is seriously injured. My aunt should ask Master Wuming to help treat him. If he delays any longer, I'm afraid he will really die."

Zhou was awakened by a word. She no longer cared about settling accounts with Jiang Xiyu and knelt before Master Wuming. "Master Wuming, please save my son."

Master Wuming glanced at the unconscious Zhou Lai and said quickly, "Amitabha, let's carry the donor to the wing room first."

Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the servants to take Zhou Lai to the side room.

**

Master Wuming was treating Zhou Lai alone in the side room, while everyone else was waiting outside.

Jiang Xiyu stood at the farthest corner of the corridor, which was connected to the courtyard and had a paulownia tree.

The tall and straight sycamore trees, blowing gently in the breeze, make people feel relaxed and happy.

Jiang Xiyu stood under a tree, and Xu Rong walked beside her.

"Sister-in-law, did you kill my cousin?"

Xu Rong spoke in an innocent tone, as if what she was asking was not an important matter, but just a normal conversation between an aunt and a sister-in-law.

Jiang Xiyu hid the disgust in her eyes, then turned around and said with a sneer on her face, "Sister, what you said is really interesting. Why do you keep accusing me? Could it be that you were the one who caused my cousin's injury, so you are so eager to find a scapegoat?"

Xu Rong was shocked by her words and raised her voice urgently, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have caused your cousin's injury?"

"If it wasn't you who did it, why should I do it?" Jiang Xiyu asked back with a smile.

"Because last night..."

Xu Rong subconsciously said something, but was interrupted by Jiang Xiyu with a smile on her face, "What happened to me last night?"

Xu Rong's face turned stiff in an instant.

Jiang Xiyu took in Xu Rong's expression, a smile on her lips, "Sister, have you forgotten? I was praying for your brother in the main hall last night. Master Wuming and the others can testify for me."

After Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Xu Rong and turned around and walked towards the side room.

Xu Rong shouted proudly from behind, "My cousin was only seriously injured. Everything will be clear when he wakes up."

Jiang Xiyu didn't even stop, and said nonchalantly, "Then we'll wait and see."

Xu Rong glared at her back, her face turning blue with anger.

What they didn't know was that in the room facing the corridor, a tall figure standing by the window had seen their little episode.

Wuyi came in with a medicine bowl and saw Gulin standing by the window. He quickly put the bowl down and turned around to put his coat on him. "Your Highness, you are still injured. Why did you get up and stand by the window to get some fresh air? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Wuyi was about to close the window, but Gulin raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No need. What happened outside?"

Wuyi stopped and told Gulin everything he had heard.

Gulin was shocked. Wuyi thought he didn't believe him, so he said seriously, "I didn't lie. I heard that the place was smashed to pieces and the crotch was covered in blood. I just don't know who did it. The person who did it was really cruel."

After saying that, Wuyi felt a chill down his spine.

Gulin thought of the scene he had just seen, an amused smile appeared on his lips, but he did not say anything.

Wuyi thought about what happened in Gulin last night and changed the subject.

"My Lord, who attacked you last night?"

Few people know about this hot spring. When they arrived last night, they saw a scratch on Gulin's chest, which did not look like a weapon injury.

Gulin thought of the slippery body he encountered in the hot pool last night. His eyes turned dark, but he glared at Wuyi in a flash, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Talking about business, Wuyi said seriously, "Last night, there was only one female pilgrim at Lanruo Temple. That was the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin. Her husband was ambushed and killed by enemy troops in the north three months ago. Her family had just finished the funeral. I heard that they came to Lanruo Temple this time to perform a ritual to pray for the soul of the Marquis of Yonglin."

Gulin was stunned and connected the events of Yonglin Marquis Mansion in his mind.

So she's a widow now?

Seeing Gulin's serious expression, Wuyi immediately thought of something and widened his eyes, "Your Highness, you don't suspect that the person who attacked you last night was the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin, do you?"

Gulin glanced at him and asked, "Couldn't it be her?"

Wuyi refuted without thinking, "It can't be her. I just went to inquire about it, and the monks in the temple said that the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin knelt in the main hall all night last night to perform a ritual. The monks can all testify for her. How could she run to the hot springs to attack you?"

"When did the ritual in the main hall begin?"

"It seems that it was after Master Wuming healed you."

After he finished speaking, Wuyi seemed to have realized what was going on, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Could it really be the wife of the Yonglin Marquis's mansion who attacked you?"

But why did she return to Lanruo Temple to perform rituals for Marquis Yonglin after she attacked Gulin? Shouldn't she have run away after the attack? Why did she return to Lanruo Temple?

"Isn't she a little silly? This..."

"Shut up and get ten lashes."

Before he could finish, Gulin glanced at him coldly.

Wuyi had no idea why he was being punished all of a sudden. Just as he was about to speak, Gulin stood up and said, "If you don't accept, then it's thirty."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Wuyi was stunned and could only swallow his words, then chased Gulin out of the meditation room.

In the wing room not far away, Master Wuming carefully examined Zhou Lai's injuries and applied medicine to his wounds before opening the door.

Seeing Master Wuming coming out, Zhou immediately stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Master Wuming, how is my family's Lai'er doing?"

Master Wuming bowed to Zhou with a solemn expression, "Amitabha, the injury on the back of this donor's head is not serious. He will be fine if he takes good care of himself. However..."

The nameless master hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Zhou said anxiously, "Master Wuming, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Master Wuming sighed with regret, "The injuries between his legs are serious. I'm afraid it will affect his offspring in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's blood rushed to his head, his eyes went blank, and he fell backwards.

"younger sister."

"aunt."

Zheng and Xu Rong screamed and supported her.

They didn't expect Zhou Lai's condition to be so serious, and their expressions became quite solemn.

All the servants lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

You have to know that the Zhou family only has this one legitimate young master, and there are not even any illegitimate sons in the family. If Zhou Lai really becomes a complete disabled person, then the matter will become a big deal.

Jiang Xiyu, who was standing not far away and listening to the words of the nameless master, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

It’s really useless!

It's really gratifying.

Zhou's face was pale. After being supported by Zheng and Xu Rui for a long time, she finally grabbed Master Wuming's sleeve. Tears were still on her face, and she said in a choked voice, "Master Wuming, please save my Lai'er. He can't be without an heir."
