Chapter 217 217: Injured


    Immediately afterwards, the old lady also said coldly: "Don''t even think about it."


    Lu Youping opened his mouth, but didn''t speak, for fear that the angry old lady would point the gun at him again. However, I also complained to Lu Chao in my heart.


    Originally, he was short of breath in front of the old lady because of Liu''s matter. Before long, the calm days have passed, and this brat jumped out to make trouble again.


    "Grandmother, Rong Yin has not asked for any title, and I will not send her away." Lu Chao poked his neck, looking unwilling to give up his true love but determined, making the old lady a headache.


    "Jingru, don''t protect him. If you don''t beat him today, he won''t know how stupid he is." The old lady said angrily.


    Qiao Jingru''s delicate face showed anxiety, and she wanted to ask for love, but she was pulled aside, with a handsome and beautiful expression full of determination: "You don''t have to be like this."


    Father and grandmother fight whenever they want, but he can''t let him leave Rongyin.


    Qiao Jingru was both wronged and angry, and burst into tears.


    Wronged Lu Chao is only thinking about the outside room, no matter how much he does, he will not be loved by him.


    What is angry is that she would rather be beaten than ask her to speak and intercede.


    Although the servants were ordered to beat Lu Chao, no one dared to really beat him to death. Fifty boards went down to the skin and flesh, but they were all traumatic injuries.


    Brought back to Qinghui Hospital, Qiao Jingru invited a doctor to give him a diagnosis and treatment, and prescribed medicines. She asked Mama Ding to stay in the hospital to take care of him, while she took Liang Chen to live in Qixia Hospital.


    "Xiangxiang, I will stay with you for a few days."


    She wants to go back to her mother''s house, but when she goes back like this, her parents and brothers will definitely ask her, she doesn''t want to make them worry.


    Looking at Qiao Jingru, who had lost her former lively brilliance after a day, Lu Xiang couldn''t help but feel distressed.


    "Sister-in-law can stay for as long as she wants, but I was wrong. I always thought that letting my eldest brother know the truth would change his mind, but unexpectedly things got more and more troublesome."


    "You have done so much for me, how can I blame you for this, Lu Chao doesn''t love me, even if he is locked at home and can''t go anywhere, he won''t love me either." Qiao Jingru said with a disheartened expression.


    Lu Xiang pursed her lips lightly, a little bit of coldness flickered in her dark eyes.


    Because the sister-in-law has affection for her elder brother, she puts so much effort into hoping that his elder brother will take the initiative to turn back, but it turns out that it is useless for Lu Chao.


    Lu Xiang accompanied Qiao Jingru, and when she finally fell asleep, she left and called Ah Man to the Nuan Pavilion.


    "You said that although Rong Yin''s master and servants have moved away, there are still many things left?"


    Ah Man nodded: "Yes, the commonly used things have been taken away, and it seems that they left in a hurry."


    "I will definitely send someone to pack things again. You guard Jilan Lane, find out where Rong Yin has moved now, and then..." Lu Xiang said, with a serious expression on his face: "Kill her."


    Aman didn''t show any surprise, nodded and said: "Yes, miss." After thinking for a while, he asked: "But miss, will the young master suspect you because of this?"


    "I will be suspicious, but I won''t be the only one who suspects me. Rong Yin disappeared yesterday, whether it was a play she acted or someone else took Rong Yin away, it doesn''t matter if she disappears again. "


    Ah Man understood: "The servant understands, and promises to get rid of her quietly."


    Aunt Yao saw that she had been picked for a long time and only made Lu Chao suffer physically, while Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru had no quarrel, she was so angry that she threw two vases in her arms.


    "Qiao Jingru, that idiot, does she just trust Lu Xiang?"


    Huazhi glanced at the mess on the ground, and persuaded: "Auntie, don''t be angry. Even if you failed to pick him up, the young master had a fight with the old lady and the master. The ultimate goal of my aunt is the young master."


    Aunt Yao took a deep breath, but she was still very angry.


    That is the case, but if Lu Xiang is not eliminated, she will not have a good life, not to mention that he is also urging her hard, who knows that it will be even more difficult for her to tear herself apart with Lu Xiang.


    Liu''s calculations failed to hit all of them. If she didn''t have a perfect plan, how could she dare to do it easily.


    She knew that Lu Xiang had no intention of attacking her. Apart from wanting to get rid of her all at once, she also wanted to catch the person behind her.


    Today, with her selection, Lu Xiang might not let her be at peace, she can''t let Lu Xiang fight for her.


    "When will Zhou''s mother come back?" Aunt Yao asked.


    Hua Zhi said: "My servant will drop by tomorrow to have a look. Her little grandson is seriously ill because of acclimatization. Mother Zhou has no intention of coming back without waiting for her grandson to recover."


    Aunt Yao nodded sullenly.


    Mother Zhou has been with her longer than Huazhi. The Lu family settled in the capital. Mother Zhou begged her to bring her son and daughter-in-law to the capital a while ago, so she followed her elder brother and his family when they came to Beijing.


    She is not qualified to send people into the Lu Mansion as slaves, so she asked them to serve the eldest brother''s family. Since she is an official in Beijing, she is also an official and master. Unfamiliar people are strong enough to take care of her eldest brother and sister-in-law''s family, so don''t talk nonsense and cause trouble.


    "Go and tell Rong Yin what happened today, and let her disturb the water."


    "Yes, Auntie."


    …


    During the few days when Lu Chao was recuperating in the mansion, he hadn''t seen Qiao Jingru. Every time the wound was changed, he sent a servant to take care of it. With an expressionless face, the words choked back when they reached his mouth.


    At night, the light shines through the thin window paper on the carved window lattice, and casts a faint shadow on the lacquered water mountain screen.


    Suddenly, there was a "bang" from the door, startling Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru who were in the room. Lu Xiang stood up and opened the door, only to see Ah Man in black night clothes leaning against the door, panting for breath.


    "Aman..." Lu Xiang helped her into the room in astonishment, sat down, and looked nervously at her slightly pale face, with bright red blood flowing between the five fingers covering her arm.


    Qiao Jingru exclaimed in shock: "Are you injured? What''s going on?"


    As he spoke, he didn''t care about waiting for Ah Man''s answer, and hurried out to fetch hot water to clean her wound.


    "Miss, I''m fine." Ah Man looked at Lu Xiang''s tense face and said.


    "Don''t talk yet, treat the wound." Lu Xiang said, and carefully took off Ah Man''s clothes: "Is there any injury besides the arm?"


    "No, I was attacked by someone. That person slapped me, and I was injured by him, but he didn''t get better. I stabbed him in the chest. Even if he didn''t die, he was hurt more than me. " Ah Man gritted his teeth.


    Qiao Jingru brought hot water, and Lu Xiang found Jinchuang Yao, and bandaged her briefly: "Is this okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"


    Aman shook his head resolutely: "No, slaves were often injured before, so I have experience."
