You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 204: Sneaking into He Mansion at Night

Tonight is Wei Nanxing's third night in Donghuang City. Taking advantage of the night, he risked his life and secretly climbed over the wall into the He family mansion.

Since entering the city that day, Wei Nanxing had inquired about the location of the He family. Remembering his brother and sister-in-law's instructions, he did not rush to their house and stayed at the nearest inn.

The next morning, he pretended to be strolling around the He Mansion and heard some news at the morning market stall at the back door that the eldest son of the He family was ill and in a coma.

In order to get more information, Wei Nanxing went to several teahouses. The He family was a big family in the provincial capital, and anything that happened would be the topic of conversation in the city.

Some people say that the eldest son of the He family fell ill after returning from traveling and has been in a coma ever since.

Some people said that he was injured while riding a horse and broke his leg, leaving him disabled.

Some people say that the person never came back and it was just a rumor.

Afterwards, Wei Nanxing squatted at the back door of He Mansion for several hours before he found a lone servant. After giving him some money, he asked for the exact information.

His master had indeed had an accident and was in a coma.

The servant didn't know the specific reason, but revealed that the second young master would invite a doctor to the mansion every day to see the eldest young master.

So he squatted there for another day, but the doctor never came to the house.

In a panic, Wei Nanxing decided to go in and find out what was going on.

The He Mansion was indeed incredibly large, with pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner. Wei Nanxing was a little dizzy for a moment and had no idea where to go.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard footsteps not far away, and he hurriedly hid behind the rockery.

The ones who came over were two maids from the He Mansion.

"Are you sending this medicine to Langyuexuan?"

"Yes."

"How's the eldest son doing? Is he still not awake?"

"Ah, it's still the same. The old master seems to think there's no hope and doesn't want to care about it anymore, but the second young master visits every day."

"Master is too cruel. He is my biological son after all."

"Shh, keep your voice down! Let's not talk too much about this kind of thing, or we'll get into trouble."

The two maids shut up and hurried away. Wei Nanxing heard their conversation clearly, clenched his fists, and followed them.

After a while, one of the maids left, leaving only one carrying the medicine.

The He Mansion was so huge that Wei Nanxing had to follow the maid through many twists and turns, and had to avoid other people they met on the way. It was difficult for them to finally reach Langyuexuan.

The maid opened the door and walked into the main room in the middle with the medicine. It was very quiet around and seemed that there was no one else. Wei Nanxing ran in directly, went around to the window next to it, pushed open the gap and peeked.

In the room, one could only vaguely see a maid sitting by the bed feeding medicine. After a while, the maid sighed and went out with the medicine bowl.

Wei Nanxing waited for a while, made sure that the person had left, jumped into the room through the window, and walked carefully towards the bed in the inner room.

There was a person lying on the bed. After seeing the pale and haggard face clearly, Wei Nanxing rushed over and threw himself onto the bed.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you, Master? Wake up!"

Wei Nanxing grabbed the unconscious He Zhou and shook him a few times, but there was no response at all.

His hands were shaking with nervousness. He lifted the quilt to check where He Zhou was injured. There was no problem with his upper body, so he lifted the quilt on his legs.

Wei Nanxing was stunned by this. His master had an injury on his left calf, and blood was seeping out of his white trouser leg.

Before Wei Nanxing could recover from his shock, footsteps were suddenly heard outside.

He quickly covered himself with the quilt, then used the pillar to climb up to the beam and lay in the gap between the beam and the roof.

Outside the door, He Yun asked his two followers to stay outside, pushed the door open and entered the room alone, walked slowly to the bed and sat down.

"Brother, you are so lucky to have survived this long. However, you won't be able to hold on for much longer. I have to be a good brother to you in these last few days."

"Tomorrow I'll send someone out to post a notice and offer a large sum of money to find a doctor." He Yun reached out and patted He Zhou's pale face, his tone full of sarcasm: "I want everyone to know that I'm the only one in the He family who cares about you and is looking for a doctor for you."

"How could you be so stupid? The person you saved was deliberately arranged by me. You are as stupid as your mother who died a long time ago. If you don't die, who will die?"

"When you die, the He family will belong to me completely. I will also take the dowry left by your mother and take good care of it for you."

He Yun carefully pinched the corner of the quilt and said, "Forget it, if you like, then hold on. After I finish playing the role of a good brother, if you are still alive, I will personally send you off."

Wei Nanxing, who was on the beam, was so angry that he was shaking all over. He gripped the beam tightly with both hands, wishing he could go down and beat up the people below immediately, but he held back when he remembered what his brother and sister-in-law said.

We must not act rashly now, otherwise we will only harm our master.

Wei Nanxing suppressed the anger in his heart and waited quietly. The people below talked for a while before leaving.

He waited until there was no movement around him before coming down from the roof.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely save you." Wei Nanxing walked to the bedside and looked at the unconscious He Zhou, feeling sad.

He has calmed down now. He can't get the people out of He Mansion by himself, so he has to go back as soon as possible to ask his brother and sister-in-law for help to find a solution.

Moreover, Master's leg seems to be seriously injured, so my sister-in-law needs to come and treat him as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the He family was just a business family and there were not many guards patrolling the mansion. After Wei Nanxing came out of Langyuexuan, he wandered around for a while and successfully found an opportunity to climb over the wall and get out.

After returning to the inn, he didn't sleep all night. As soon as the city gate opened at dawn, he rode back on horseback.
