He called out to Yan Yun.

However, Yan Yun did not respond, but the doctor reminded him, "Please do not disturb us."

Doctors can be quite temperamental, especially when treating injuries.

Upon hearing the voice and looking at the person who had suddenly appeared, Yun Yi said, "If you've come to see her, then you can wait here."

Lu Yan was trembling all over because he saw that Yan Yun's arm was still bleeding.

He couldn't look directly at it.

"Excuse me, I'll go outside and wait."

When Lu Yan left the clinic, the person who had been waiting for him had already run away with the money bag.

How could that person possibly wait obediently?

Lu Yan wanted to know what had happened to his cousin Ning'er, but there was no one he could ask. He suddenly felt powerless again. He had to manage the money shop and take care of his cousin Ning'er. He felt that he couldn't do both things well.

He didn't rush in, but waited outside.

But the waiting time was agonizing and long.

Until Yunyi came out.

It was already dark outside.

After the doctors finished treating Yunyi, she saw the people who had been taking care of her arrive and got up to leave.

But after squatting on the ground for too long, my legs went numb. When I stood up, I couldn't stand steadily and ended up kneeling on the ground again.

He suddenly moved closer to Yan Yun's face and saw tears and blood mixed together, leaving marks on her face. Yun Yi felt that she was dirty and pitiful. He thought about how he had seen this girl several times before, and he had never seen her like this before. In the end, she was still just a child.

He held onto the edge of the bed, told the doctor about his hard work, and then stood up and stretched.

Yan Yun reached out and grabbed his hand.

When that soft hand grasped his, Yun Yi immediately broke free.

Still somewhat confused: "Why did you arrest me?"

But when he looked at Yan Yun, Yan Yun kept his eyes tightly closed.

The doctor explained, "She probably just grabbed onto something; this girl can really endure it."

Yun Yi knew that the girl wouldn't have deliberately grabbed him, but she was still a little surprised by her sudden action.

"Then I'll go and call the people outside in."

He was leaving again.

Yan Yun reached out and grabbed him again: "Don't go."

When those two words clearly reached Yun Yi's ears, he thought he had misheard. His first reaction was, how could a mute person speak?

He looked at Yan Yun, but Yan Yun's eyes were slightly narrowed, looking both awake and dizzy.

Yun Yi could only turn to the doctor and ask, "Doctor, did you hear her speak just now?"

The doctor was instructing the apprentice to get the medicine and didn't hear anything, only seeing Yan Yun still holding Yun Yi's hand.

"No."

After the doctor finished answering, Yun Yi squatted down and asked Yan Yun, "You brat, you did speak just now, didn't you?"

Unfortunately, Yan Yun did not respond. Her slightly narrowed eyes closed tightly, and her expression of not knowing anything about what Yun Yi said made Yun Yi reluctant to ask any further questions.

He looked at his hand, which had been grabbed, and did not pull it back.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Yun Yi yawned.

The young apprentice handed the medicine he had developed to Yunyi.

"Please apply some of this medicine to her arm."

Yun Yi refused and directly pulled Yan Yun's hand away.

He left the clinic and saw Lu Yan slumped to the side. He asked, "The doctor has been gone for a long time. When are you going to go in?"

Lu Yan immediately stood up.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He rushed in, and the young apprentice repeated what he had just told Yun Yi to Lu Yan. Lu Yan touched the medicine bowl beside him and asked the apprentice for guidance.

Lu Yan persuaded Yun Yi to stay.

He needed to know what had happened, and right now the only person in front of him could tell him.

“I brought my cousin Ning’er to the clinic on behalf of Zheng Jiaxie, but the person who brought me here escaped. I want to know why she became like this.”

Yun Yi found the man to be polite and told Lu Yan in detail about how he had encountered Yan Yun being beaten up on the street.

Lu Yan immediately asked where that person was now.

Yunyi said that it had been sent to the government.

Lu Yan thanked Yun Yi and said that he would definitely pay a visit to express his gratitude once he had dealt with things here.

Yun Yi didn't help out of gratitude. If he wanted to thank anyone, it was Nan Yun Jing who saved him, and he didn't want to reveal that name.

"Since you're here, I'll be leaving."

He needed to return to the academy, and besides, he and this girl were not related, so he didn't need to stay here. "I'll leave the rest to you."

Lu Yan thanked him again: "Thank you."

After Yun Yi left, Lu Yan first applied medicine to Yan Yun. Because it was inconvenient, he asked the apprentice to find him a small spoon. After he carefully finished applying the medicine to Yan Yun, he asked the doctor about Yan Yun's injury.

Yan Yun's injury will take at least half a year to heal. The doctor advised him to take good care of it, otherwise his hand might become disabled.

Lu Yan was worried when he heard that he might be left with a disability.

"Please take good care of her, doctor. Ning'er is still young, and I will definitely take good care of her."

The doctor only mentioned the worst possible outcome.

"If he recovers properly, nothing bad will happen. Go find a carriage and take him there."

Upon receiving the letter that Lu Yan had sent, Lu Yuan immediately drove his carriage over.

Following the doctor's instructions, Lu Yan carried Yan Yun into the carriage. When Lu Yuan saw Yan Yun's appearance, his heart skipped a beat. The old wounds hadn't even healed yet, and now there were new ones. This was truly a year of bad luck.

"Young master, how did this young lady get injured like this again? Should we tell Lord Zheng?"

Lu Yan was considering this matter.

She could choose not to tell him, but Lord Zheng's concern for his daughter was just as she'd worried about her own family.

Hiding it might not solve the problem.

"I will write a letter myself, and you can have someone send it to the capital."

We still need to inform Zheng Jihua about this.

They returned to the Zheng residence.

Lu Yan and his servants carried Yan Yun back.

Worried that the message might not be clear, Lu Yan went to the old lady's courtyard in person.

The old lady didn't care about Yan Yun's affairs, but was more concerned about Lu Yan's return at this time. Could it be that nothing happened at the money shop?

Haven't spoken yet.

Lu Yan told him about Yan Yun's injury.

The old lady's teacup instantly fell to the ground. Her first glance was at Granny Zhu. "Didn't we invite a tutor to the manor? Why has that girl gone out again?"

Granny Zhu couldn't answer for a moment, because the young lady always went out with the servants of the mansion, so she didn't pay attention to her. Who knew that something would happen again in such a short time.

Granny Zhu immediately knelt down: "It's this old servant's fault. Miss has been behaving herself lately, so I didn't think much of it." Therefore, she was unaware of what was happening now.

After reprimanding Granny Zhu, the old lady asked Lu Yan, "Is the injury serious?"

Lu Yan had no reply and simply nodded.

"Could it be fatal?"

"I injured my arm, and the doctor said I need to rest and recover properly."

Lu Yan told the old lady everything he knew.

When the old lady learned that someone had hit her hand on the street, she was furious. If the person had been hiding, it would have been due to poor security, but it happened right on the street, and the person who was injured was her daughter from the Zheng family. How many people were watching this spectacle?

"Who is that person?"

Lu Yan sensed the anger in the old lady's words and felt even more guilty for not protecting his cousin.

"I just brought my cousin Ning'er back. The government has already sent people there, and I will go there as soon as possible. We will soon find out who that person is."

The old lady took off her jade pendant and handed it to Granny Zhu.

"Have the manager handle this matter."

It wasn't that she didn't trust Lu Yan, but this matter concerned the Zheng family's reputation. If Lu Yan didn't handle it well, then in these people's eyes, the Zheng family would be someone they could bully at will.

She absolutely did not want to see this happen.

When the steward arrived, the old lady gave him a serious speech.

"Have someone from your household accompany Lu Yan to this matter. If the officials make things difficult for you, take out the jade pendant I gave you."

The manager immediately understood and went out to gather people to follow him.

Before Lu Yan left, the old lady specifically instructed him, "This matter must be considered for the sake of the Zheng family. We cannot let those who want to trample the Zheng family underfoot get away with it."

Lu Yan didn't understand the meaning behind those words at that time.

Because the steward said he needed to make preparations, Lu Yan returned to Yan Yun's courtyard.

Seeing that the people in the Zheng family were not taking things seriously, he asked Lu Yuan to stay and look after his cousin Ning'er, while he and the steward went to the government office.

The manager prepared everything and then came to invite the people.

Lu Yan followed the steward out of the mansion.

On the carriage, Lu Yan remembered what the old lady had said and simply watched without asking any questions.

To the government office.

On the government side, the people from the academy are still there.

When the authorities heard that someone had been attacked in the street, it wasn't the injured person who came to the newspaper office. Instead, the college students stood in the lobby, talking about what had just happened on the street.

The fact that such a thing happened right under their noses is enough to show that the city is not safe enough and that the government needs to pay more attention.

The officials asked who the person who had been beaten was.

They were told, "She is a young lady from the Zheng family."

The official sitting in the hall had a livid face. He looked down at the people below and said, "That Miss Zheng has no grudge against you. Why did you hurt her?"

The people below looked up angrily at the official sitting above, whose face was contorted with rage and showed no sign of remorse.

"No enmity? She harmed my family, thirteen people in total. You say there's no enmity?"

The official was speechless at the question, not because he was surprised, but because the mention of thirteen dead people reminded him of certain things, and the connection naturally came to mind.

When the people at the academy heard that more than a dozen people had died, they looked at each other in disbelief. They didn't think that girl could kill so many people.

The official summoned his advisor, and the two of them, after a brief conversation, understood the whole story.

The advisor suggested, "Send those people from the academy away first; many of them are children of merchants."

The official agreed with the clerk's reasoning and said, "Go and make the arrangements."

The clerk wanted to send them away, but the people from the academy didn't want to leave. They said they had just happened to come across this incident and wanted to see how the official would decide.

The clerk, with his silver tongue, suggested that the matter should be handled by first locking the person in jail and then dealing with the Zheng family when they arrived at the government office. He also praised the students, hoping that this would appease them.

Some of them enjoyed it, and since it was getting late, they asked to go together.

Yun Yi entered through the main gate.

He went back to the academy but didn't see anyone, so he came here.

"Why are you still here instead of going back to the academy?"

Immediately, someone responded and asked Yun Yi, "You've come here? What about Miss Zheng?"

"The Zheng family has gone."

He looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and couldn't believe that this person could be so cruel to that girl.

When the man saw Yun Yi, he spoke to him without thinking.

"You saved that harmful girl, but one day you will lose the most important person to you because of her." As he spoke, he stood up and rushed towards Yun Yi.

Yun Yi was a trained fighter. Seeing the man's movements, he kicked him directly, and the man fell heavily to the ground again.

He had no sympathy for the person in front of him who wanted to take action.

The people at the academy also thought this person was too audacious. He was already in court and still wanted to make a move. It was simply lawless.

Upon seeing this, the clerk immediately ordered the officers to arrest the man and throw him into jail, waiting for the Zheng family to arrive before taking further action.

The officers went to arrest the man, who glared at the assembled officials with bloodshot eyes: "So what if you're an official? Zheng Jihua's gold and silver treasures blinded me, and my whole family died so tragically. Has there ever been justice?"
