Chapter 760: The Sorrow of a Daughter Who Is Not as Good as an Adopted Daughter (7)
Arrived at Xie’s house.
"Well, go tell the doorman and ask someone to carry in my brother who fell off the horse." Su Li whispered to the carriage outside the curtain.
"Yes, Miss."
When the Xie couple learned that their son had fallen off a horse again, they felt like the sky had fallen.
"What happened? How did Zhao'er fall off the horse?" Mother Xie, who was still grieving over Song Wanyue having her hair cut off and being sent to Jingci Temple, immediately grabbed the doorman and asked.
"I don't know either! I heard that the eldest master came back in a hurry... or the eldest lady brought the person back." The doorman who came to report quietly wiped the sweat from his temples.
"Zhao'er, my Zhao'er." Xie's mother let go of the doorman and rushed to the door.
Mr. Xie and Old Madam Xie followed closely behind.
Su Li at the door pretended to be sad and directed the crowd, "You, go and get a doctor to come back and see your brother."
"You, take down a door panel and carefully put my brother on it. Be careful not to touch his injured leg."
"Yes, that's it. Walk carefully and don't fall!"
The crowd outside the gate praised Su Li's command, "She is indeed a noble lady from a famous family. She handles things properly and has the style of Madam Xie in her past."
Su Li raised a barely perceptible smile and looked inside the door.
Soon, Xie's mother rushed out and saw her son Xie Zhao, covered in blood, lying on the door panel.
She shouted, "Zhao'er, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that her precious son didn't react, she immediately rushed to Su Li and said, "You unlucky star, it's all your fault! Not only did you hurt your sister, you also wanted to hurt your brother! If I had known you were such a disaster, I shouldn't have given birth to you!"
She raised her right hand and was about to hit Su Li in the face.
Su Li stretched out her hand and grabbed it, with a hint of annoyance on her face, "Mother, what you said is unreasonable! The prince and the eldest princess have already found out about Song Wanyue's matter. It was Song Wanyue who plotted against the prince but failed, so she had her hair cut off and became a nun! As for my brother, he accidentally fell off the street while riding a horse. Why do you blame me for all this, mother?"
"Xu, what are you doing? If you have something to say, why don't you go inside and talk about it!"
Old Madam Xie scolded Mother Xie, then waved to Su Li with a friendly expression, "Yier, come over here, grandma."
"Grandma." Su Li pretended to be aggrieved and walked towards Madam Xie.
Seeing the grievance on Su Li's face, Mrs. Xie's heart suddenly wrenched.
She looked at the Xie couple and said angrily, "I raised Yi'er by myself, and I know her best. You didn't even bother to find out the whole story before you framed my Yi'er. You really don't deserve to be Yi'er's parents."
Su Li nodded secretly. Old Madam Xie was still quite fond of her original self.
Although she was extremely disappointed with her original body at the beginning, she would not have watched Xie Zhao torture her like that.
Therefore, her sudden death must be related to Xie Zhao and Song Wanyue.
"Grandma, don't be angry! Let me help you in!"
Su Li gently supported Madam Xie, then looked at Father Xie who had been standing there motionless, "Father, I understand that Mother is too sad. I still hope you can investigate some things yourself."
After saying that, she helped Old Madam Xie into the gate without even looking back.
Father Xie looked at Su Li's back, thought for a while, waved his hand, and a servant appeared beside him.
"Go and find out what happened at the Spring Banquet! Don't miss anything!" he whispered.
"Yes, General!" The man left quickly.
Then, he followed the crying Xie mother to Xie Zhao's yard.
The doctor rushed over, felt his pulse, checked his injuries, sighed and said, "Master Xie's injuries are serious! Even if he is cured, he will still be disabled. Why don't you ask the imperial physician in the palace to take a look!"
"Have a disability?"
Mother Xie was stunned. "No way! My son is a brave general guarding the border. If he becomes disabled, what will happen to him in his life?"
The old doctor sighed and took out items for treating wounds from the medicine box. "It's not that I can't treat him, it's that I don't have the best medicine. I'm afraid your eldest master's right leg is injured all over the bones. Only the special medicine Black Jade Ointment in the palace can cure it. I'll treat his wound first, you should hurry to the palace to get medicine!"
After quickly bandaging the wound, he took a piece of ginseng and put it into Xie Zhao's mouth. "The young master will wake up soon. The total consultation fee is four taels of silver."
Mr. Xie didn't say much. He asked the housekeeper to give money to the old doctor and left.
"Hmm..." Xie Zhao finally woke up.
He covered his aching head and looked around.
The moment he saw Xie's father and mother, he said excitedly, "Dad, Mom, go and save Yue'er! Yes, it was Xie Ruyi who set her up! Yue'er is innocent, go and save her!"
Hearing this, Xie's mother raised her voice excitedly, "I knew it was that unlucky star who did this! My Yue'er is so well-behaved, and it's her first time in the capital, how could she do something like that?"
After saying that, she was about to rush outside.
"What are you going to do?" Father Xie grabbed her.
"I'm going to settle the score with that evil creature. She harmed her sister and brother. How can I let her have an easy life?" Xie's mother said with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, I've already sent people to investigate the matter of the Spring Banquet. I'd better go to the palace to find His Majesty first!" Xie's father said in a cold voice.
"Oh, yes, go find His Majesty and ask him to give Zhao'er medicine, and also ask Yue'er to come back! She can't become a nun!"
Mother Xie said painfully, "Husband, if Yue'er's father hadn't saved you, she wouldn't have lost her parents. We owe her this!"
There was a flash of annoyance in Xie's father's eyes. He had heard these words countless times over the years.
If he were honest with himself, he had been good enough to the daughter of the Song family. But this time when he saw his daughter's indifferent eyes, he suddenly felt that as a father, he seemed to owe a lot to his own daughter.
"I understand! But he is the emperor, and everything depends on his wishes." Father Xie said softly.
At this moment, the housekeeper came in again in a hurry, "Master, His Majesty urgently summons you and your wife to the palace! And the eldest lady and her maid Baojuan!"
Father Xie frowned slightly, "Got it, I'll go change my clothes, you go and inform Yi'er first."
"Yes!"
On Su Li's side, she had just sent away the loyal Bao Jing and was about to deal with the betraying maid Bao Juan when she heard the message brought by the housekeeper.
"Really? Since the old emperor wants to intervene, let him handle it!"
Su Li curled her lips and looked at the "Baojuan" transformed by the spirit beast, "You should go back to the space first. I will bring the real Baojuan to the palace."
She casually tapped the real Baojuan's forehead, erasing her memory of being knocked unconscious and imprisoned.
